NO PROTEST BY AMERICA
Japan May Annex Corea Under
Terms Made at Portsmouth.
OLD TREATIES MUST STAND
Warships Patrol Coast-Guards
Busy-Excitement in Seoul
and Toxic.
from The Tribune Bureau

Washiugton Aug 19.-It is expected
that within a few days the Japanese gov
ernment will inform the United States and
other powers interested in the Far East
of its determination to annex Corea.
Ambassador O'Brien. at Toxic, intin,ated
to Secretary Knox some weeks ago that
such pian was on foot, and within the
last two days he has confirmed It, Ihe
United States government Will make no
nrotest against the annexation because OF
that clause in the Portsmouth peace treaty
which is construed to allow 1t, and, fur
ther because 1t is felt at the State De-
partment that the union Of japan and
Corea cannot affect ;he commercial or po-
litical relations between the United States
and the latter country.
It will be necessary for Japan, however.
before copsummating the annexation, to
assure the powers that the treaties now
in existence between them and Corea Will
not be in any way abrogated. The United
States has several such treaties and will
expect Japan to abide by them unless they
are modified by mutual consent Of the
three countries concerned.
One of the most important of these is
commercial treaty, whereby the Corean
government is prevented from collecting
more than 10 per cent ad valorem duty on
articles imported from the United States,
except on 1uxuries, where the maximum
duty is fixed at 80 per cent. Importation
OF American articles to Japan is on a far
less advantageous basis.
Another treaty which has been consid-
cred important by the American govern
ment gives to the United States extrater-
ritorial jurisdiction over Americans in
Corea Such jurisdiction is not recog-
nized in Japan, and should Corea be taken
over 1t would be necessary for the two
governments to adjust this subject.
Seoul, Aug. 1e.-Though there is no off,
ciaI confirmation of the reports that ne
gotiations for the annexation Of Corea by
Japan are now proceeding, there are many
indications that annexation is imminent.
Long conferences between officials are 60
ing on visits are frequently interchanged
and great activity is noticed in the jap
anese offices.
The censorship has been placed on an
even more rigid basis than before, and
Toxic newspapers containing reports on
the situation in Corea are confiscated at
Fusan.
All Corea has been placed under strong
military guard, and a number of japanese
war vessels are now patrolling the coasts
| The situation indicates conditions of eX-
treme tension, but officials refuse 80 make
any statement regarding annexation.
| TOXIC. Aug 19.-The authorities here
maintain silence regarding the reports OF

PANAMA CANAL PROGRESS
Over Five Miles on Atlantic Side
Opened for Navigation.

Washington. Aug. 1o.-Five and half
miles of the Panama Canal at the Atlantic
entrance was opened to navigation for the
sand and rock fleet of the Atlantic division
last week, according TO the issue OF The
Canal Record" which reached this city to-
day. This section, added to the five miles
at the Pacific entrance. which is open to
vessels of all kinds, brings the total of the
canal now in actual use up to ten and a
half miles.
The division Just opened is not completed,
but it has a channel Is feet deep at its
shallowest point and width Of 100 feet at
its narrowest point. The dre6ges are con-
stantly working on this part, broadening
and deepening it to the full width of 500
feet and the full depth of 45 feet. The part
just opened does away with the long detour
by way of the old French canal which IT
was necessary for the rock and sand laden
ships to make In hauling their cargoes from
Porto Bello and Nombre de Dios to Gatun.

TO DEVELOP INLAND RUSSIA
She Will Spend Nearly S68,ooo'
600 on Interior Waterways.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Russia is about 10
undertake a comprehensive Improvement OF
the inland waterway system OF It's hu-
ropean provinces. Plans OF the contefn-
plated projects are given by Consul Her
nando de Soto. writing from Riga 10 the
Department OF Commerce and Labor
The two most important projects are 10
connect by canals the river Dwina with
Dnieper at Vitebsk and Orsha, and the
Dwina with the Volga, using the rivers
Mesha, Obsha, Warusa, Moskxa and Oka.
thus providing for direct communication
by water from the Baltic Sea to the Cas-
plan and Black seas. Il is expected that
the completion of this project will revoiu-
tionize the economic conditions in Russia,
further develop trade and create new IN
dustres and bring about an entirely new
distribution of freight between rail- and
waterways.
Under the plans now considered the Mos
COW district, which is the most Important
commercial centre of Russia would be con-
nected by means of cheap transportation
with all the rich provinces of the empire
and the whole of central Russia, giving
easy communication with the Baltic ana
Black seas. The inland water shipping al
ready is extensive. The river fleet OF the
Volga represents three-fifths OF the entire
Russian inland waterway craft. According
to the last available statistics, there were
on the river Volga 210O steamers and S44o
other vessels carrying passengers ana
freight. with a capacity Of S,600.OO0 tons.
The total cost of the improvements is es-
timated at SGT, ,722, ,0O0. Adding to this sum
the cost of administration, interest on In
vested capital and contingent expenses dur
ing the time Of construction, the total es-
innate is given at $79, 600. The annual
cost of repair and maintenance is figured at
s6.5O0,o0o.
The Russian government also has under
consideration plans for the development of
the power on the rapids Of the Dwina and
Dnieper.
