FORTRESS IS IMPREGNABLE
Port Arthur Is : Befing Strength

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

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.

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."

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.
