THE NORTHERN SITUATION. The following are the latest items of now from the Kobe Chronicle:-

It will be remembered that it was coported that on Admira! had left Tokyo. immediately after the conference between Barou Rasen and Count Katara, with a message for Viceroy Alesk.ff. News now comes from Tokyo to the affect that the Second Secretary in the Eussian Legation left the capital for Nagasaki by the 6 o'clock train on Monday evening, on ble way to Port Arthur, bearing Baron from Rosen's reply to a communication Admiral Alexieff. It would thas seem that me important telegraphic messages have passid between Port Arthur and Tokyo, which fus necessitated the dispatch of the Legation Secretary. He was to proceed at once from Nagasaki to Port Arthur.

In roteranee to the movements of Russian troops in Manchuria, the Anahí notes that the principal forces are stationed in the neighbour host of Port Arthur, Dalny, and Liaoyang. while detaabinents have been gradually sent to important places along the cost of the Linotung Peninsula. The forces at Whangfeng, Autong, and Chalienphong have been largely reinforced of iste. Russian troops are to be dee at every place on the Yain and the Tamen, which forma the boundary between China and Carea.

In reference to the report of the appearance. in Carea of the Russian troops, the Nichi-Nictri writes that there is no denying that Bussin is continually mobilising her fores southward in Manchuria, but nothing has been heard by the authorities of the report that Rais santcut 500 troops from Port Arthur to Cores, and what trath there is in that report is unknown. The Russo-Japanese Agreement concerning Corea, Passia is entitled to send troops into Corea of Tokyo journal points out that according to the

the sume dimmersions as the Japanese troops stationed there, no Russia may be sending merely there troops which she is entitled to send accaping to the limit specified in the Rasso-Japanese Agreement.

The Japan Advertiser's Hakodate correspon dent; writing on the 9th instant, says the steamer Tegolitahi-maru, with a force of over on hundred coolics on board, has been engaged for the past five days in laying a large number of torpedoes in the approaches to Hakodate harbour. The work being completed, she has now departed to varions harbours on the West Coast to do the same there."
