LATER.

The United States and Japan. At a dinner of the Wisconsin Society in New York, a reference by General Wheeler to the Japanese Naval successes, as truly indicating Japanese greatriess, was received with cheers. M. Uchida, the Japanese Consul-General, declared that Japan was struggling for a national existence and only asked for fair play and straight dealing. At the conclusion of the speech, the company rose up and cheered for some minutes. Mr.

Pradt, the Assistant Attorney General, said he hoped, as a private citizen, that Japan would-continue as she had begun. Mem berg of Congress who were present, and others, all spoke in favour of Japan.

The War.

News from Tokio yesterday evening says that Japanese war-ships bombarded the forts at Ta-lien-wan and then attacked Port Arthur.

Reuter's correspondent at Tokio reports that eight out of the thirteen Russian war ships at Port Arthur are disabled, and one fort half destroyed by the Japanese shells, The Russian combatants number 2,000.

RATIFICATION OF AGREEMENT.

News has reached us that the Portu,uese Minister to China, H.E. Senhor Conselheiro José d'Azevedo Castello Branco, has obtamed the ratification of the agreement regarding the railway between 3tacao and Canton.

Our readers will remember that, as a preli- minury to the conclusion of the agreement, a Lusso-Chinese Syndicate was formed al Macan, not lang s nce, to conduct the survey and other preparatory work for the construction

Peking, 4th March.--At Harbeitan there are two large bodies of Ru sian troops, 750 cavalry, and 200 artillery, and others used as military workmen not being reckoned in these. The Chinese Government has ordered the Chinese military commander at Charliner to mobilize

five batalions of rerrents, and the army funds are to be raised from the fur and tea merchants as well as from the foreign firms in and outside of Chang Chi: Kow (Kalgan),

The Wai Wu Pu and the Russian Ministe have decided up in the following as contraband gonis dering the Russo-Japane e war:-Hand and artillery weapons, iron tools, combustible substances, explosive matters and apparatus, all supplies necessary for the artillery, mil- it ry engineering, and infantry, cutting iron wires, building pontoons, and pontoon bridges, artny provisions, uniforms, material for navigat, ing vessels, ali ki d of engines used on board vessels all kinds of ba lers, coal, “Shih Non oif, spirits of wine, all telegram codes, railway materials, provisions, rice and stores, horses and live stock, all kinds of necessaries for land and naval engagements.

The Japanese Minister has notified the Wai- wupu that sine Chinese sailing boats are at templing to trans: ort wheat fur from Ning. haichow and. Tengchw to Laotung, contrary to the rules of neutrality. The Wa-wapu has accordingly instructel the Governor of Shan. tung to make investigation, and subsequently received the reply that excepting the sailing buats no merchant ships would now venture to pricced to Liaotung. As a result of this reply all the big fishing junks have not been allowed to sail out of harbour while those that are small may but must return in the evening.

Tientsin, 4th March.—Local bandits in large numbers have gathered themselves together beyond Shaphaikuan ostensibly to vent their fury upon the Russians. Viceroy Yuan has given instructions to his men to keep a sharp watch on their movements, and to suppress them, if necessary, in such a way as deeme prudent. Rutinast of these bandits being from Kiria and Heilungkrang, the matter is some what out of his jurisdiction, and consequently he requested his Government to promptly in- struct the different generals responsible to take the necessary steps regarding their suppression.

Dow

The Weihaiwai correspondent of the N. C. D. News, writing on 24th ult, says:-The secret has been zealously guarded, but it is generally known, that the Japanese army of invasion is mobilising in Northern Korea with a view to forcing a passage across the Valu and attacking the Manchuran railway some- where between Vladivostok and Port Arthur. Be ween 49 and 50 transports have within the p.st fortnight disembarked troops at Chemul- po. Other troops are probably landing at Gen- san, and, possibly, at Fusan, War correspon- dents, we hear, are not allowed with the van of the army. The troops as they land seein to

From this the corespondent infers that the Chinese, in connection with their northern rail- way system, are going to profit by their last xperience with the Russians. Apart from this, the writer expresses the opinion that he Japs will provide all the catertainment the Russians On the 4th alt, in the House of Commons, are capable of enjoying for some time."

CANTON NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent )

Carton, roth March.

THE WEATHER.

The rains have come, not very heavy, but enough in relieve a great deal of anxiety regarding fires, which have been exceptional in numbers this winter. A great deal of valuable Property has been destro, ed.

PLACARUN.

A number of vile placards have been posted about the streets lately. They denounce Christianity and foreigners generally, but little natics is taken of them by the Chinese. They are evidently the work of some individual who has a grievance to air, and do not represent any general ill-w towards the foreigner.

THE PEN U MAGISERATE.

A new magistrate will soon (or has already) taken over the Pan U office. This is anothe of the changes the Viceroy delights to make The rumour is that no one wants the office as there is no certainty that the in gistrate will not be removed or dismissed in a few weeks . merths During the past year very few officers were allowed to hold office for more than three or four months.

JAPANESE PROTECTORATE

OVER KOREA.

From a study of the Treaty which has been oncluded between Japan and Koren, it will be seen that the term "alliance" is sonicwhat of a misnomer. An alhance implies some equality of standing, as well as some ground of common interest, and it can hardly be said that there is any such equality between Japan and Korea It will be seen that the very first article pro vides that the Imperial Government of Korea shall adopt the advice of the latter in regard in improvements of administration. Engagements

between i'uwers which enter into alliance are

scarcely so worded. What has occurred is that with a view to regularise her position in Korea and to defend the peninsula from out- side aggression, Japan has concluded a Treaty which amounts to a protectorate over the country, as we (Kobe Chronicle) veatured some months ago to predict would be one of the first steps that Japan would take of diplomatic relations with Russia were suspended and the various arrangements b tween Japan and Russia relative to Korea were thus abrogated. It will be seen that the Treaty provides that wisen the territorial integrity al Korea is endangered by the aggression of a third Power, or by internal disturbances, the Jamnest Government shall immediately take such measures as the cir cumstances require, and my occupy any points in Korea which may be regarded as necessary for strategical purposes. Mo eover, Japan has practically taken the foreign policy of Korea into her charge, as it is provided that the Governme as of the two countries shall not in future conclude any arrangement with a third Power that may be contrary to the principle of

The Protreal.

Some difficulty was ex perienced in fitting the old pattern mountings The statement was circulated by the Russians of the 10 in. guns with duplicate sights of a to impress the Chinese, new design; it is hoped to rectify this shortly. The original sights are still fitted to the guns, and are quite accurate.

Mr. Lucas: As this matter is of consider able importance, I should like to ask what prospect there is of the sights being definitely corrected within a short timě?

Mr. Pretyman: 1 cannot say exactly how long it will take. It is a scientific question, but, if the hon. gentleman will give me notice, I will answer the question. •

Mr. Gibson Bowles: Is it to be understod that this vessel is going to sea with incorrect sights?..

Mr. Prelyman: No, Sir, the original sights are corect, and arefited to the guns. A new pattern sighted in duplicate, which is not absolutely correct

The P. & 7. Timer has the following statement by the survivors of the steamer Jinten, one of the five sunk in the attempt to block the harbour entrance at Port Arthur, "The Jinten and Bushu were both sunk near the entrance to Port Arthur, and they had hardly time to leave the vessels and get into the boats, With great difficulty they managed to get beyond range of the enemy's fire, and they were unsuccessf 1 in ge'ting up with any of their own torpedo hnats or gunboats. At 3 o'clock on Wednesday they reached one, of the Miasto Islands where they were most hospitably treated by the people, and' in due course they landed at Tengchou, where they procured ponies and rode to Chefoo, arriving there on Friday evening. The second engineer was shot while entering the boat.*.

The same paper states: "A Japanese cruiser and torpedo boat entered Cheloo harbour with out lights at 1 o'clock on the morning of the 26th and took on board all the survivors länded hore, leaving before daylight'

As far as cgards Korea, fapan has taken up the position which she occupied during and immediately alter the Japan-China War. It will be remembered that while the war was in progress Japan made a number of suggestions to the Korean overnment with regard to the improvement of administration, these sugges tions covering a wide field and entering most minutely into the life of the people, even to the abolition of the long pipe and a' change in the custom of wearing the hair. Prince Pak was then in. power, having been appointed Minister by virtue of his known sympathy with Japanese objects and aims and his eager wish that his country should enter upon a similar programme of reforms to that which had proved so successful in Japan. When the war came to an end, however, and Japan was forced by the pressure of the three Powers to retrocede Liso-tung, it was for the time being apparently determined to abandon Corea to her fate, with the result that the reformą which Japan had

|

pelled her to abandon it after the war and, notwithstanding that the energies of the Japanese Government will be severely laxed by the war now in progress, it would not be at all surprising to find that energetic measures are already contemplated to bring order out of the existing chaos in the country. In these reforms Japan will doubtles have the efficient aid of Mr. Mcl.eavy Brown, who, as chief of the Korean Customs and for years virtual head of the Financial Department, thoroughly understands of what Korea is capable. Whatever happens, the result is likely to be of advantage to the people, who, if Japan is successful in her objects, will at least be relieved of the intolerable tyranny which they suffer under the officials. Meanwhile there can be no more question of Korea's neutrality. She is now a belligerent equally with Japan.

THE COLLISION AT WOOSUNG.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

As reported by wire to this paper the P. & O S. S. Ballaarut and the river steamer Chunon were in collision at Woosung on Sunday last

We now learn from the N.C.D. News, of the 7th inst., that the Ballaarot left her moorings at the P. & O. Buoy on Saturday and proceed. ed down river, but anchored off Black Point. On Sunday she again weighed anchor and re- sumed her course down river, crossing the Inter Bar about 1.30 p.m. There she met the Chaugen, which was coming in on the flood tide. Just opposite Pheasant Point for so. reason at present unexplained, the two vessels collided, the bows of the Ballaural striking the Changes amidships on the port side, cutting a Ing hole right down to the water's edge and shaving her right away aft from amidships. The collision was in many particulars similar to the well-remembered collision between the Unwo and Le Newchwang. No lives were lost, the collision having been foreseen by hose on board both ships. The natives in the port galleys rushed out immediately they saw that a collision was inevitable, otherwise here might have been loss of life. The engine room of the Changon must have been cut into, as in less than a minute the water was up to the platform. At the time of the collision several of the Changon's Chinese passen. gers jumped overboard, but were all picked up by sampans and boats sent out from the Japanese cruiser Akitsushima and the Chinese cruisers in the vicinity. It was at first reported

Shanghai that fifteen lives had been lust

twu steamers had un mauvais quart d'heure, and friends and relations of those on board the

but a telephone message iu Woosung quickly proved this to be a "bunder,"

Although her engines had been slowed down opposite Woosung Creek, when the collision was foreseen, the strong wind and tide were sufficient to help the Changon to get to the river bank, on the north side, close to the Customs Station, where she now lies beached.

Too much praise cannot be given to those on board the Japanese cruiser Akitsushima. They sent boats as soon as the collision occurred, picked up drowning natives, carried the Chungon's passengers ashore, an I also carried a wire cable from the Changou to the shore, to prevent her slipping off.

The Ballarat is badly damaged about the fore-foot, and turned round and came back to banghai. The Chungen is cut into as stated above, but it is expected that the cargo can be get out of her and she can tuei be towed up There are only 3 inches of water in her Bain bold,
