The first of ptember, 1894, we turned our “bow” ard the Pacifie and after a month’s voyage, calling into Honolulu, we anchored in Yoko- hama, Japan. ramonih we visited different ports in Japan. 1 enjoyed visiting the temples, homes, palaces and mansions of Yokohama and Tokyo. Then we went to the north and called into Nagasaki, a very busy and large city. Now our pleasure | was passed for some time, for from} Nagasaki we steered northward over the Yellow Sea, bound for Chemulpa, Corea. Soon after arriving we sent an armed force to Seoul, the Capital, which is fourteen miles inland, to protect the U. 8. Legation against mobs. For two months we remained in Chemulpa, the principal seaport of Corea, aud practically saw nothing as the Nation is now under the con- trol of Japan and everything was quiet and showed no signs of war. The Japanese army had defeated the Chinese army in every battle, on both land and water and were now entirely in the Chinese Nation. The little army only had to march near | Fort Arthur and fire a few guns, when the Chinese army run. About the first of January we were ordered to Japan again and went to Nagasaki for docking. On this visit I found a citizen of Butler, who is now a mis- sionary of the M. E. church in Naga- saki, Rev. E. R. Fulkerson. He has been in Nagasaki some time and is nicely located. Afterabout two weeks in Nagasaki, we were ordered to Chefoo, China. The entire forces of the Chinese army of the North and the Japanese | army in China, are now only twenty- five miles from here engaged in one of the most savage battles the world has ever known. from marching on to Pekin making the Emperor a prisoner. The battle has been raging Fort Wei Hai Wei is the stronghold of the Chinesearmy of the North and could Japan take this fort nothing could prevent them and for three days and twice the Japanese advantages. He was wild, and utterly uncontrollable by his peace loving parents. With the westward drift of population came Masterson to Kaneas.He was in able to care for himself in every posi- tion in which he was placed and was credited with several killings before he came to Dodge City, early in the 70s. Dodge City was then in the height of the catlle trade glory. The cowboys ruled tke town during the height of the season, from July to November and when the big herd began coming into town from the old Chisholm trail that led up across the territory the better class of citi- zens were compelled to retire from active business life. In sheer desperation the city council selected Masterson as the executive officer of the town, and clothed him with the full authority to take the law in his own hands, no matter what came up. He appreciated the honor, and exercised his power to the utmost, with the result that he brought or- der out of chaos, and made Dodge City a law-abiding community. Mas- terson’s brother was sheriff of Ford county, and was killed by five cow- boys, while he was attempting to ar- rest them. As soon as the younger brother heard of it he started on the war path, seeking them out one after another, and killing each. He distinguished himself as an Indian fighter and buffalo hunter, and had many narrow escapes from red skins of the territory that seem almost army has been repulsed at great loss | miraculous. of life on both sides. killed. the So now, the third attempt, are on both sides of the fort, But they will never give up until the last man is When the railroads opened up Col- orado to the world, Masterson left Dodge City and went thither,roaming wild and savage, fearing nothing and | from one infant town to another, and covered with blood. A report just received is that they have defeated the Chinese army. Thousands of men had been killed, thousands taken prisoners and it is reported that 4,000 deserters are now south of Chefoo, destitate, hungry and freezing. The missionaries of China are hav- ing a hard time. They have been gathered from various cities of the North and brought on men of wars, ete., to Chefoo, where the U. 8. 8. Baltimore, Yorktown and Charleston are on the lookout, with an armed force always ready to land at any moment and protect the American citizens, Japan is a civilized nation and so considerate of humanity, while the Chinamen are nothing but savages and destroying everything before them. I love Japan and its people and perhaps I may make my future home in that lovely country. Sincerely Yours, EARLE D. Sims. Japan's Terms, Washington, D. C., April 11.—An authoritative statement of the terms of peace between Japan and China has been official sources. The statement is made in order to clear up much misappre- secured from hension arising from speculation as/| to the terms of peace. They are tive in number as follows: First—Independence of Corea. Second—Permanent cession of the Island of Formosa to Japan. Third—Indemnity of 30,000,000 taels (Chinese coin worth $1.33 ) Fourth—Permanent occupation of Port Arthur and ithe immediate con- tiguous territory. Fifth—A new Japan-China treaty opening the interior of China to commerce. The money indemnity is expressed in Chinese taels instead of Japanese yen. The tael isin reality a weight instead of a coin. It is considered silver money. While the face value) at $1.33 would be equivalent to 399,000,000 in silver, it is said the actual value would be between $210,- 000,000 and $220,000,000 in gold. The fifth term as toa new treaty, includes various trade features, such as free access of Chinese rivers There is no demand for territory on the mainland outside of Port Arthur and its contiguous pace BAT MASTERSON “DEAD.

His skill with the revolver made him in- valuable, and no one ever inquired how many toughs tumbled before his neyer missing muzzle. His friends claim, however, and the re- cords seem to bear them out, that he never drew his arms except in the cause of justice and the interest of law. Of the twenty eight men he ia said to have killed in his strange and yaried career, probably not one deserved a better fate, and nearly all were punished in Masterson’s duties as an official. Strange as it may seem the dead marshal was not addicted to profane language or liquor. Those who knew him best say he was a teetotaler in the latter respect and never used a profane or obscene expression. He was of medium height, and his face had a clear intellectual expression. MRS.
