TO OD 1 Makes Open Door a Farce and . Fortifies Herself in Manchuria. FORTRESS IS IMPREGNABLE Port Arthur Is : Befing Strength ened Into Second Ctfbraltar For eign Merchants Kxclurled and Clash With Powers Certain. SEATTLE. Wash., i May 28. Accord ing, to a special to the Tlmes-from Van couver, B. C, Japaru ha completely re versed the "open-dior" policy in Man churia, With the arrival of the Amer ican battleship flettft In the Pacific and the possibility of , trouble with the United States I a ten, on, Japanese states men are -preparing! for any emergency. Port Arthur, tbe former Russian stronghold, is beinrg made virtually im pregnable, while the fortifications at Dalny, a seaport 'and railway terminus on the mainland, occupied by the Jap anese, are being- rushed to completion with feverish haste. A clash with (the powers over a con tinuance of thfi discriminatory policy now being cariried out in favor of the Mikado's subjects is inevitable. If Japan Is compelled to back down, her surrender wil bring its advantages. The Japanese are more curiously amused than SJ armed over the proposed visit of the i American fieet to the Orient. Open Door a Nullity. Those arefcthe conclusions reached by G. C. Druce during a recent extensive tour through China, Japap and Corea. Mr. Truce 4s ex-Mayor of Oxford, Eng land, and secretary of the Botanical So ciety of Great Britain. He Is also cura tor of tb herbarium "of the Univer sity of Oxford. "While the. official classes are re served, the Japanese people are not the least petrturbed over the dispatch of the American battleships to the Orient," Mr. Druce continued. "Of course, every body In the East, except the diplo mats, associates the demonstration of American naval power with the Man churlan trade question. The famous open-door policy advocated by all the . -white racea la in reality a nullity." Shuts Out Foreign. Goods. He continued: &nt Japan took possession of Manchuria he Has handicapped all her competitors by a system of duties or Imposts which do not apply to Japanese citizens. The Issue la a live one In the Orient today and. unless I ami misinformed, there will be some develop ments ere Ions;. Every Buropean trader or coftimcrclal traveler I met had the same t ry to rel ate of the m et h ode adopted by Jajpan to keep European goods out of Man ohrurls. : Japan, although poor, is an aggressive na tion which will not mirrender her advantages on by a successful war, even' against a limited front, unless eiie gets some com pen inat in advantages. Japan- l In Mnchuria to stay. The coming of the American fleet " fcs rot been overlooked by her statesmen. who believe In preparing for any contingency . which may arise in the next few years. Port Arthur a Second Gibraltar. Port Arthur, which withstood a Jong siege before Its downfall, is being made almost Impregnable. It la a second Gibraltar. Dur ing my vWt there I saw evidences of great military activity. New batteries are being built everywhere. If Port Arthur was strong dui Ing the Russian occupation. It will soon be rendered doubly so. The Japanese are very suspicious of et rangers. At Port Arthur e were virtually obliged to restrict our walks to the main street. Dalny Is also being fortified with feverish r.atr. Hitherto it had few defenses and was abandoned by the Russians early In the same war. Dalny In the great port of entry for Manchuria. It Is now a Japanese city. In t'orf a heard many complaints of the tyiannicai. oppression of the ' natives by the Jupantse. American Cars in Orient. TOKIO. May 28. The first broad-gauge train of American cars on the South Man rhurlan Railroad made a successful trip on May 21. THINKS BRYAN IGNORANT Forgan Says He Has Xo Conception or Banking Problems. 1 CHICAGO. May 2S. Does W. J. Bryan know what a bank deposit is? David R. Forgan. president of the National City Bank of Chicago, believes that the Ne braskan does not. denpite. the fact that the Democratic leader has spoken many times recently on banking problems and has urjeed the guarantee system for the depositor as a safeguard against financial panics. Air. Bryan's latest' utterance on the question was delivered a few days ago before the Bankers' Club of Chicago. Mr. Forgan addressed students of the Vnlversity of Chicago last night and swerved for a moment from his general topic, "The Dignity of Commercial Life." by taking a rap at Mr. Bryan. "I heard Mr. Bryan speak for an hour the other night on banking problem,' he said. "Mr. Bryan was effective as an orator and forceful, but all the time he spoke I could find nothing in his talk to indicate that he had the slightest conception of what a bank deposit is. 'And yet Mr. Bryan la going about giving advice on how to stop or prevent a panic." MAY CORN IS BOOMING Closes Strong at 82 1-2. an Advance ot 2 1-2 Cents. t'l T ICAGO. May 28. May corn con tinued Its advance today, selling up to S-o. It closed strong at 2lio higher at S'-'V.

It mounted to SI -e. wb?re 6000 bushels were thrown on the market and taken" in a second by the eager shorts. After this the trading was hard to follow, as it was scattered and in small lots. The situation prevailing at the opening was. however, continued to the close, and prices were advanced on the demand of shorts and scanty offerings from holders. Kills Going to Convention.
