by the Plate Department officials. Ii
can be stated that up to this niomen

of Japanese Infantry Were Detailed
to Make Demonstration.
Paris. By Cable.?An official dispatchreceived
here from Tokio announces
that one of the most important movements
of Japanese troops yet made occurred
Wednesday. One of the main,
branches of the army, consisting of
three divisions and including a division
of guards is now going on board
transports. The previous landings of
Japanese forces in Korea and elsewhere
are said to have been small compared
with this simultaneous sailing of
three divisions, aggregating approximately
an army of 30.000 to 50.000 men.
It is believed, but this is not sure, that
the destination of this force is a point
near the mouth of the Yalu river or a
spot on the Liao-Tung Peninsula, flanking
Port Arthur.
Another official disDatch says a Jap
anese transport has been sighted off a.
town south of the mouth of the Yaiu.

Open to the World.
Washington, Special.?Mr. Allen, the
American minister at Seoul, cables the
State Department that Wiju has been,
declared open to the commerce of the
v;orld by the Korean government.
The United States was the first
power, so far as known, to apply to the
Korean government for the opening of
Wiju to the world's trade. This action
was taken while Japan and England
were urging the opening of Yong-ampho,
lying at the mouth of the Yaiu
river on the Korean side. The view
taken by the State Department was ?
that if we could secure the opening of
Wiju, 130 miles up the Yalu above
Yong-am-pho, the effect would be to
practically open the whole of that
stretch of the river to commerce, so
that the project really was much
larger than the mere opening of a port
ai- the mouth of the river. Wiju lies on
the opposite side or tne river ami is
very near to Antung in Manchuria
which the Chinese government has already
by treaty with the United States
declared to be an open port, although
this never has been admitted by Russia.
It is understood that the opening
of Wlju is directly attributable to Japanese
ascendency in Korea, for while
the country was under Russian influences
Mr. Allen, the American minister.
was unable to Induce the King to
open a single part in addition to Chemulpo.
It is probable that the State Department
at once will take steps to
have America represented at Wiju by
a consular or commercial agent.
