So universal have the sales become—so watched for—thit everybody has one whether they have ny special inducement to offer or not.

Japan May Demand a Further Cession of Chinese Territory—Preparing for ‘an Aggressive Military Movement. It is the belief of officials in a position to know the status df affairs between Japan and China that japan will declare the peace negotiations off unless China shows more alacrity in their conduct. There is increasing irritation on the part of Jepan as to the delays in presenting definite peace proposals. More than a month has passed since it was agreed that a tender of peace conditions would be considered by Japan, and as yet the conditions have not been offered and there is doubt as to China's plenipotentiaries having the right to make any final offers. Already the Japanese government is in- clining to a unanimous demand of the na- tive press to make far greater demands than were contemplated when the peace negotiatiuns began. At that time the gen- eral understanding was that the basis of peace would be a cash indemnity and the independence of Corea, and the work of the plenipotentiaries was to be to settle the exact amount and terms of the cash in- demnity. Now, however, there is an in- timation that Japan may no longer ac- cept the two conditions first proposed, but may insist also on Chinas ceding exten- sive territory, probably the Island of For- mosa, or the valuable strategic points of Port Arthur or Wei-Hai-Wei, cr a portion of Manchuria, already occupied by Japan. Opinion differs in Japan as to which piece of territory should be demanded. This an- nexation sentiment is universal, and it is belicved Japan will soon make it known to China, probably through Minister Dun at Tokio, that the procrastination in pre- senting the terms of settlement is such that the negotiations will be abandoned unless closed within a reasonable and defi- nite time. In the meantime there are evi- dences that Japan is preparing for an ag- gressive military movement, calculated to impress China and the pienipotentiaries with Japan’s ability to increase the ad- vantage she has already secured. A gentleman who has been some years in diplomatic service in China and is a recognized authority on international cus- tom points out that it is an invariable rule with China net to grant absolute power to her plenipotentiaries, but merely to confer advisory powers on them. There is author- ity for the statement that Japan will con- sent to no delay on account of the failure of Mr. John W. Foster, China’s legal ad- viser, to arrive at Hiroshima by the time of the arrival of the Chinese peace com- missicners. o—-—_—____ Methodist Missionary Societies. At the meeting of the Foreign Missionary Society of the M. E.

Arrangements have been made for the extension of the Washington navy yard so as to include about eighty feet more land near the 6th street entrance. This land originally belonged to the government, but for many years past has been occupied by private parties. ‘The extent of gun manu- facture, as well as their parts, has now be- come an industry of such proportions that th® department finds itself without sufti- cient room, and proposes adding to the yard, with a view to the erection in the future of more shops and factories. No Proceedings have yet been taken 100i to the extension of the present wall inclos- ing the property. ————— 2+ _____ The District National Banks.

Three lives were sacrificed yesterday af- ternoon in a fire at 25 Pitt street, New York. The victims were Lena Lehman, twenty-four years of age, and her two chil- dren, Sarah and Henry, aged, respectively, two years and three months. The fact that lives were lost in the fire was not discov- ered until some time after it was extin- guished, when firemen found the three bodies, burned to a crisp, lying beneath a heap of debris in the turn of a stairway on the third floor. The woman lived on the fourth floor and was trying to escape to the street, when she and her infants perished in the flames. Their lives would have been saved had the panic-stricken mother re- mained in Her apartments, as help prompt- ly arrived. FOR DYSPEPSIA Use Horsford’s Acid Phosphate. Dr. B. B.

A New York special, dated yesterday, says: Brooklyn is to wage war on the trolley. The Fulton street collisién coming as a climax to a list of casualties that have taken place since the snowfall, has filled the Brooklyn public with terror. As a result the trolleys did a lighter bust- ness this morning than at any time during the cold srap. Whenever they could travel- ers took the elevated trains. Already complaints with regard to this collision and others have been lodged with the Law Enforcement Society. That or- ganization will take them up and direct its fight personally against the president and Managers of the trolley companies. An attempt will be made to get them indicted. if the law is now inadequate for that, an amendment thereto, it is said, will be pro- posed at this session of the legislature. Two more accidents occurred this morn- ing. Car 112 of the 7th avenue line killed a 3200 horse belonging to the “.nsonia Clock Company. James Baker, twenty-six, a coachman, of 196 Madison street, was the victim of the second accident. He was crossing on coach of Churles Van Cott, of 26 Mulberry Street, this city, at Broadway and Kosci- usko street. The trolley car struck the coach at the front wheel. Baker was knocked off, badly bruised and cut, and was taken home severely hurt, The coach was shattered, but the horses escaped. ——— Marriage Licenses.
