CHENAMPO, (vl Seoul) April 17. (Spe
cial Cablegram to Collier's Weekry.) After
two months of Inaction at Toklo, I am at
last In the Meld, following; the main Japa
nese army that is marching to Wlju and
the Manchurtan border. . Along; this high
Way, leading from Chenampo to Ballnkan,
Blgns of war and of the passage of many
thousand troops are scarcely more visible
than were military preparations In Japan,
All signs are peaceful. The only indi
cation that the army is somewhere ahead
Is the long lines of coolies, Japanese and
Corean, bearing rice from the depots and
transport to feed the troops on the road,
Thousands of these coolies and small carts
maintain the line of communiorfen un
broken, with the military discipline and
system that extends to every detail of the
field organization. The roads are In the
throes of the spring thaw, but their dif
ficulties have been exaggerated so far as
blocking the advance Is concerned. '
The whole fighting strength of the Jap.
anese army Is actually at the front with
all necessary supplies, prepared for de
cisive operations. Everything observed

- Besides the characteristic military ef
ficiency now seen at close range, Japan
has used the last two months also In mak
Jng her Influence dominant throughout
Corea by peaceful measures. The people
Iiave been won over until their co-opera
tion Is spontaneous. Japan has policed the
country with email posts widely scat
tered. I have traveled twenty miles with
out passing one of these few outposts
guarding tne line of communication. Be
curity for supply trains, peace, and con
pdence among the populace have been at
tained by other means. In the path of
this great army, moving by forced marches
In winter weather, there are no burned
Villages, no plundered houses, no fugitive
peasantry.. .
Troops Behave Splendidly.
There haa been no license or disorder
among the troops. They have left no
tori as X loose discipline in their wake.
The head men of the, Oorean villages tell
me that the conduct of the individual prl
yaie souuer nas been exemplary. All sup

Hostile ejrlrtoi gale? the Japanese were on
thtlr best ' behavior" tn the Peking relief
operation whan co-operating with the al
lies, but thai in their own campaigns,
away from foreign scrutiny, they would
wage brutal and uncivilized warfare. This
la flatly contradicted by their march
through Cores. Their advance haa been as
smooth and orderly as that of a 'British
column In India, the organization as em
Plant la every way. -
Tea natives are on their little farms

tion, already sowing crops of oats. They
are unconcerned about war or passing ar

In the summer months the farming region
of northern Corea will furnish great ouan
titles of food supplies for the Jupaneae
bases. The Japanese officers scattered
along the rout in charge of the military
posts and transportation organisation have
been notably courteous and hospitable to
the party of traveling war correspondents
with their troop of servants and pack ant

bplnlon. FREDERICK PALMER.
This la In line with the policy recently
adopted at Bt. Petersburg.
The first rule for war correspondents says
that they must not interfere In any way
with the preparation for war, or the plans
of the staff, or divulge military secrets of
advantage to the enemy, such aa actions In
which forts are damaged or guns lost.
Rule two forbids the criticism of mem
bers of the general staff, corps or division
staff, and limits the report of an engage
ment to a simple statement of fact.
Rule three forbids the transmission of
unconfirmed information about the enemy,
such as rumors of victory of threatening
movements, which .may cause public un
easiness In Russia.
Rule four commands the correspondent
to obey all orders received and to be care
ful In fulfilling Instructions to the letter.
This manifesto orders the higher mili
tary authorities to turn back all corre
spondents without credentials. Those given
permission to Join the forces are In honor
bound to observe the regulations, with the
penalty of expulsion without warning for
any violation. They can go anywhere in
the field, and are barred only from the
Russian fleet.
New Chwang has been steadily prepared.
fortified and filled with troops in readi
ness for the enemy. It Is believed here
that Japan Intends to attempt landing with
a large force. The latest disaster to the
navy has deepened this expectation, now
that It is known that the Port Arthur fleet
can not Interfere with the enemy's plans of
Invasion. The loss of the battleship Petro
pavlovsk and the death of Admiral Makar-
off have spread a feeling of philosophic de
pression among the Russian staff and
troops, but have only strengthened their
determination to revenge with the army
what has befallen the navy. M. Pavloff,
formerly Russian minister at Seoul, has
been appointed diplomatic agent on the
staff of the viceroy. We are ordered to
leave for the front Wednesday.

Richard Harding Davis Finds Himself
Boar Interviewing; Saints.
(Copyright, 1904, by Collier's Weekly.)
TOKIO, March 28. (Special Correspond
ence of Collier's Weekly.) Kobo Datshl Is
a Japanese saint. Once while In China he
carved an image of himself and threw it
into the China sea. It floated all the way
to Japan, where it was caught in the net
of a fisherman. When the fisherman found
what ha had caught he was bappy and
built a shrine for the image and worshiped
it. The Image performed so many miracles
that soon people from all the coast made
long pilgrimages on foot to kneel at its
shrine. They still make the pilgrimages,
but, aa now Japan is modern, they no
longer need to walk. Instead on the 21st
of each month the railroad runs special
trains to Kawasaki, and the pilgrims are
carried to the shrine In electric, cars.
Of all the twelve festivals the one on
March 21 Is the most Important and on that
day a great bazaar starts a mile away and
advances with two rows of fluttering ban
nera to the very steps of the temple. In
deed, so close does the fair encroach upon
the shrine that the priests who are selling
prayers inside are interrupted by the men
outside who are selling musical tops.
And those who came to worship remain
to play.
Outside the temple is a great double-
decked gate and still nearer a covered well.
a square atone tank fed from a spring.
On the edge of the tank are wooden ladles.
and before he says his prayers each pil
grim stops at the well to rinse his mouth
and bathe his hands. Gay banners of
various colors and covered with text hang
above his head. These he uses as towels.
The temple itself is a low massive struc
ture, squatting on the great steps like a
monster turtle. Its beams , are of giant
else. In comparison the timbers of an old
wooden battleship would - look aa though
they had been out by a scroll saw. The
temple Is virtually, a single square hall
open at the sides, except for screens, and
divided by screens and carved railings. At
the entrance to the temple at the top of
the stone steps Is an oblong wooden trough
covered by a gridiron of wooden bars. Pil
grims who wish to pray or to give thanks
for prayers already granted aa they enter
throw copper money Into this trough.
Inside the porch and under the roof of
the temple, shutting off the view of the
shrine, were a row of tables, behind which
stood priests vending prayers.
To the stranger their manner suggested
less the priest than the alert and obliging
salesman. So professional was their bow
when they handed one a prayer that one
rather expected to hear them ask: "Will
you take It with you, or shall we send It?"
They offered prayers of every variety and
did so great a business that the priest
who burned candles was forced to sell the
same candle to many different worshipers.
And although as soon as he lighted a
candle he snuffed It out again, he was soon
far behind, and by nightfall many pray
ers, though paid for, were still unuttered.
Other prayers were sold after a fashion
that suggested a , well-known game of
chance. Behind the priest were rows of
what looked like private letter boxes In a
postofflce, each with a number. The pil
grim paid for his prayer, and the priest
by shaking a box he held shot out a rod.
He read a number on the rod, and from
the letter box that bore the corresponding
number took a printed paper. It told the
pilgrim at once whether his prayer was
answered and what bis future fortunes
might be. Those of the pilgrims who
wished to pass beyond the prayer tables
and draw nearer to the shrine leff their
sandals with busy young men, who checked
the shoes with large wooden tablets. Rid
of their sandals, the pilgrims were free
to walk upon the mats before the shrlns.
Those who wished to smoke did so. Those
who had brought their children allowed
them to run off with the other children and
play hide-and-seek around the altar. In
spite of the Incense, the dim light, the
golden Images, It was difficult to realise
that one was In a place of worship. The
copper coins echoed from the coffln-Uke
troughs or were smashed violently sgalnst
the shrine, paper prayers wrapped around
other coins hurtled through the air like
shuttlecocks, the children's voices ss they
played hide-and-seek rang delightedly, and
the peremptory clapping of hands as each
pilgrim endeavored to attract the attention
of the saint to his own particular prayer
was as Incessant as It was Insistent. And
in the moat around the temple great gold.
Ash. when the children clapped their
hands, rose out of the vasty deep and
leaped Into the air for sugar cookies.
RICHARD HARDING DAVIS.
SAYS NEW RATE HELPS OMAHA
Local Freight Van Declare. Proposed Btiii
Will Et Profitable
PUTS KAWVILLE AND GATE CITY ON PARITY
Only Obstacle te Consummation of
Present Plan Is laid te be
Nsrtkweilrra, Welch De
mands Proportional.
A prominent freight official explains the
new basis of settlement of the grain rate
difficulty which has been agreed upon by
the Interested lines at the Chicago meet
ing now In progress by saying:
"Omaha and Kansas City are to be
placed on a parity so far as the Chicago
market Is concerned. The rates from both
places will be 12 cents on wheat and 11
cents on corn. To the southern markets.
Including the gulf ports, St. Louts, Mem
phis and other places, Kansas City's rate
will be 1 cent less on both wheat and corn
than that from this city. To the northern
markets the Omaha rate will be 1- cent less
than from the lower Missouri river points.
The 8-cent differential in favor of the Mis
sissippi river will be allowed to stand.
This is a reduction of 2 cents In the old
differential. The S-cent differential will, of
course, apply to St. Louis shipments from
both Kansas City and Omaha. This equal
izes matters all around, giving Omaha the
best of the bargain to points north and
Kansas City to points south.
Northwestern tbe Obstacle.
"The only difficulty which confront the
meeting at this time is the stand taken by
tho Northwestern, which line insists on
making the OmH ha -Chicago rate local tn
place of proportional. There is no serious
objection to this, except that If kept in
force It might In time have the effect of
making It necessary to abolish the agree
ment providing that the sum of the local
rate Into Omaha and the rata out make
the sum of the through rate. Herein lies
the safety of Omaha as a grain market,
and it Is to gain this point that all the
fighting has been done by the adversaries
of the Northwestern. The Northwestern
maintains that the Omaha-Chicago rate
shall be a local and that this local shall be
the maximum rate from Iowa points.
"Should the damands of the Nortweetern
be acceded to It would result In the re
duction of rates from Iowa points near
the Missouri river from 17 cents to 13 cents,
the latter rate being the one agreed upon
to apply from this city. This reduction
from Iowa points would result from the
provision of the Interstate commerce law
which provides that a higher rate cannot
be charged for a short haul than a long
one. If the rato was made proportional
this clause would not be in effect as gov
erning tbe Iowa rates.
Sum of Two Rates.
"I understand the sum of the two rates
will be taken to arrive at the through rate
from all points in this state where it will
be possible to make such a combination.
From some points it will not be possible
to make this rule apply. For instance,
from some places on the Burlington In the
southeastern corner of Nebraska, the plan
could not be made operative, for the rea
son that the distance is shorter direct to
"ilgago and St. Louis than If the business
through this olty, and the rata con-
ly would have to be lower to the
oust and south In a direct Rne by a shorter
route than it would be through Omaha.
The section on the Burlington from which
lower rates would have to be made to
eastern markets than the sum of the two
rates, would be bounded by a line from
Lincoln to Omaha and from-.Lincoln to ths
southern state line. All territory lying east
and south of these lines would not be con
sidered tributary to Omaha. The North
western probably will make all stations on
its mainline from Omaha to Norfolk tribu
tary to this city, and all lines south of the
mainline. The territory could not well be
extended farther west than Norfolk, for
the reason that the Great Northern .comes
Into competition with the Northwestern at
O'Neill and the Northwestern also has a
direct Sioux City line running from Nor
folk east and Sioux City would have to
be reckoned with."
The former plan of making the Chicago
rates two cents lower from Kansas City
than from Omaha was dropped after an
agreement to establish this basis had been
reached and a large part of the checking
of rates had been accomplished. The ob
jecting line was the Northwestern which
demanded that the Omaha-Chicago and
the Kansas City-Chicago ratos should be
the same."
