FRANCE’S TURN NOW Thinks She Ought to Have the Pes- cador Islands. CORRENT GOSSIP ON EASTERN AFFAIRS Drawing Room Reception at Buck- ingham Palace. GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS PARIS, May 8.—The Figaro this morning, commenting upon the attitude of the United States toward Japan, says: “What prevented the United States from Joining England at the time of the inter- vention of the three powers in the east was not indifference toward Japan, which has now become a great power, but its desire to remain faithful to their traditional policy. The United States would not raise an objection to Japan’s taking the Gulf of Pechili.”” The Matin remarks: “A change has oc- curred in the world outside of Europe. England no lorger lays down the law. If chestnuts are to be taken out of the fire there will also be large pieces taken out of certain mouths, and this is only a begin- ning.” The Soleil touches on the eastern ques- tion with the following suggestion: “The services rendered to Russia and Germany in securing a revision of the treaty should result in the cession of the Pescadore Isl- ands to France, since the presence there of the Japanese is as menacing to France as they would be at Port Arthur to Russia.” It is stated that France is negotiating with Japan regarding the recession of For- mosa and Pescador Islands. It insists that in the event of Japan holding the islands the strength of the Japanese garrisons and the number of warships be diminuted: May 8.—A dispateh from St. $ that the government is satisiied with Japan's reply to the protest of the powers, and regards the incident thus far as closed. Russia is evidently glad to get out of a very awkward position without haggling to the particular form of language in which Japan agrees to refrain from an- nexing the Liao Tung peninsula. ‘The Rus- sian military preparations in che far east have been suspended in accordance with the orders from the war office. BERLIN, May &—The North German Gazette says that the Japanese representa- tives at¢St. Petersburg, Berlin and Paris acquainted the cabinets of Russia,Germ:ny and France on Sunday last that Jopan renounced her claim to the Liao Trng peninsula, including Port Arthur. Japan's first answer to the remonstrances of the ers was not accepted because she main- ained her claim to Port Arthur, but her t final answer was given without further pressure. Continuing, the North German Gazette applauds the prudence and wisdom of the Japanese statesmen, and asserts that the powers did not desire to deprive Japan of the fruits of her victory, but only to avert dangers to the peaceful development of eastern Asia. In conclusion, the North German Gazette says that besides the in- creased Indemnity which Japan will pre- sumably receive she will also benetit by the amity of the three powers and the full recognition of the position she has ac- quired. RATIFICATIONS EXCHANGED. mail Ceremonies Indicating the lof the Eastern War. SHANGHAI, May 8.—It is stated here that the ratifications of the treaty of peace between China and Japan were exchanged today at Chefoo. It is reported that Sir Robert Hart, in- spestor general of the Chinese customs, has guaranteed the payment of the addi- tional indemnity demanded by Japan as a result of relinquishing her claim to the Liao Tung peninsula, in compliance with the vi of Russia, Prance and Germany. Sir Robert Hart, however, makes his guar- antee conditional on the financing of the total indemnity being left in his hands. The United States will be represented by three warships at the exchange of ratifi- cations of the treaty of peace between Japan and China at Cheefoo. The Machias and Yorktown are already in that port, and the Concord left Amoy yesterday for the sere place. THERE WERE THREE QUEENS. table “Drawing Room” at Buckingham Palace. LONDON, May 8.—With bright sunshine and a cool breeze, which raised clouds of dust, the approactes to Buckingham Pal- ace were thronged today long before the hour fixed for the opening of the drawing room by a treble file of carriages along the mall, waiting to take their occupants to what promised to be the most Mrilliant royal display of the season. It is long since there has been such an assemblage of royalty in London. The third daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, Princ xandra, made her de- le. The Queen Regent of Holland and the little Queen of Holland went to the palace, lid not attend the actual drawing queen sent a special Hotel to’ fetch them as to enable the queen to see her arrayed in her of state before the ceremony.” The two Queens of Holland will dine at Buck- am Palace tonight and will lunch there tomorrow before starting on their return to Holland. ED A SENSATION. The lish Agitator Spoke Aloud in the House of Commons. LONDON, May 8.—There was an exciting and unprecedented scene in the house of commons this afternoon. Just as the chief secretary of Ireland, Mr. John Mor- ley, had finished his speech, discussing the bill of Mr. Edmund F. V. Knox, member for West Cavan, anti-Parnellite, to repeal the crimes act, O'Donovan Rossa, the well- known Irish agitator of New York, arose from a seat in the stranger's gallery and itedly exclaimed: Ir, Speaker: An assassin's blow has been aimed at me in this house, and a stain has been put on my name.” Rossa’s remarks were greeted with loud shouts of “‘orde The sergeant-at Rossa from the house. interruption the that it was Rossa proceedings, and w came previous speaker, had_ alluded in uncomplimentary terms to O'Donovan Rossa, and it was this which caused him to enter a protest from the gallery. Rossa, after having been ejected from -arms summarily ejected At the time of the members did not know who en interrupted the his identity be- A the house, was turned over to the police with inst tions not to allow him again precincts of the houses of par- Mament. Consequently Rossa was march- ed off the premises by the blue coats, wh warned him not to show his face there again. TO REPRESS REVOLUTION. Opening the Debate on the Bill in the Reichstag. 8.—The reichstag was and the gal- 's were full of interested spectators, all eager to hear the debate on the second reading of the anti-revolution or anti-so- cialist bill, a measure which has attracted universal attention throughout Germany for a long time past, and which has been met with determined opposition from many neellor, Prince Hohenlohe, in ex- plaining the motives of the government in introducing the bill, said that he could not unde! d why indignation meetings had Id to protest against ps ».

The committee had dragged extraneous matter into the bill, intending to strengthen the hands of the executive, but their proposals intro- duced questions of religion an@ public morals and even weakened certain provi- sions of the bill. Continuing, the chancellor said that he had to thank Herr Von Levetzow, late president of the reichstag, for his motion, which partially substitutes the government bill for the committee's proposals, and the prince expressed the hope that the house would furnish the government with the means of opposing the violent tendencies of certain classes with; more effective measures than Ritherto at its disposal. DID KE FORGE STAMPS? Arraignment of niSuspected Ameri- : can in London. LONDON, May 8.—Mendal Howard, an American citizen, whe was arrested here on April 29, on the charge of having in his possession a number of-engraved plates and other matesial for ferging notes and postage stamps, was: armigned today at the Westminster police court. Howard, it appears, ts of German national He has a passport attesting his United States citi- zership and he is Wd to have resided seven vears In the United: States, three of which he passed in the state of Ohio. The British police attach importance to the capture of Howard, owing to the dis- covery of extensive forging of American postage stamps, whith have been offered for sale at an anpreciable discount The prisoner was finally remanded until Tues- day next.

Brown against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, re- cently argued in the Court of Appeals,-in- volving the question whether a railroad or other company can compel an employe at the beginning of his employment to sign a contract releasing the railroad from Mabil- ity on accoun’ of future and possible én- juries to the employe, when such injuries result from the negligence of the company, was decided yesterday afternoon. In the first trial of the case before Chief Justice Bingham it was showfh that a seri- ous injury had been inflicted upon the plaintif, who was crippled for life by his shoulder being crushed between tWo car and the court below held that there enough evidence tending to show an in- jury caused by the negligence of the com- pany for the jury to consider, but for the further fact that three releases had been signed by the plaintiff for money paid him while in the hcspital and shortly after com- ing out. The plaintiff contended that the releases were void, having been in effect pany in advance of any injury, and being the equivalent of requir- ing a man to sign away his life or liberty, and therefore contrary to law and public policy; that the money paid by the com- pany under them was a ridiculously small amount, the plaintiff having actually dur- ing the whole course of his employment contributed more to the Relief Association of the Baltimore and Ohio raiiroad than he received back, besides being crippled for life, and that the association was indebted to him for a part of his contribution when he was discharged by the company, and of which part it still has p n. Chief Justice Bingham was inclined to concede the validity of the plaintiff's con- tention, but finally concluded, in view of the imp rtance, and novelty of the ques- tion and of some conflict in the authorities, that the matter had better be determined in the Court of Appeals, and charged the jury accordingly. He therefore judgment in favor of the company, and this. judgment the appellate court af- firmed. _———— DER THE UTAH AC —— + Pollee Getting Evigence in a Number of Calves.

In the other case, Grace Robinson and a man named Moten were arrested.

RESULT OF HIS RECENT INSPECTION He Says He Could Discover No Abuses There. PRISONER DAVEY’S CHARGES Col. Cecil Clay, chief clerk of the De- partment of Justice, has submitted to the Attorney General his report of the inspec- tion that he-was directed to make of the Washington jail, about a month ago. In it he states that he found everything in a satisfactcry condition at the jail, and his recommendations as to changes are of the least importance. Nine queries were put to him to answer, as follows: 1. Can ex- penses of maintaining it be reduced, and if so, in what direction; 2. Duties of em- ployes and whether properly performed; 8. Number of employes and whether it should be less or more; 4. Should changes be made in compensation of employes; 5. General management, whether extravagant or economical; 6. Discipline; 7. Treatment and feeding of prisoners; 8. Condition and care of the sick; ® What abuses in any direction exist. Col. Clay says that he visited the jail on several occasions, and found the general condition to be excellent, as far as its man- agement was concerned. The building and its approaches are kept “scrupulously neat.” In enswer to the various items of inquiry, *he reports: “1. I see no direction in which it is feasible to reduce the expenses of man. egement now. The supervision by the De- partment of Justice of the purchase of all supplies has reduced the cost of feeding prisoners to a very low figure, and under existing conditions—the isolated location of the jail and difficulty of access to it—I con- sider a reduction in the cost of the running force impracticable. “2. Duties are reasonable, not ardtious; fairly distributed and well done. Number ample. The night work could be done with one man less, but to reduce the force would require such changes in the hours and details as would be hardly warranted by the small saving of one salary. “4. I suggest no change in salaries. The cook, who gets a small salary, should be permitted to eat in the jail. “3. The management is economical. The 3. supplies are har dled and stored with care and used with discretion without waste. All necessary work upon which it is pos- sible to empioy prisoners is done by tiem. “8. The discipline is excellent. The Treatment of Prisoners. “7, Treatment, as shown by limited per- scnal observation, but amply sustained by the statements of the prisoners themselves, is firm but impartial, the only complaint with foundation being as to insufficient ex- ercise. This can be remedied by changing the hour for admission of visitors from 10 to 10:20 o'clock a.m., so that from 8:30 to 10:30 the prisoners on each of the four corridors can get thirty minutes’ exercise. ‘The focd is ample in quantity and good in quality, with the exception of occasional lots of herring issued for breakfast. I recommend the striking of herring {rom the till of fare. The cooking is good, and the handling of the provisions as well as the condition of the boxes for meals, cups and cooking untensils very cleanly. The meals are served in oblong tin boxes, with necessarily sharp corners and angles. If these could be stamped out of sheet metal, so as to present curved surfaces, much time end work would be saved in cleaning em. “8. The sick are cared for promptly in their.cells, but really sick prisoners should not be treated there, but in the hospital, a large room in the southwest corner of the central building, which should be suitably fitted up, supplied with proper water closet and sink fixtures, cots, etc. “9. I examined privately every prisoner, employe and official of the jail, without discovering the existence of any abuses. Davey’s Charges Disposed Of. “During my, examination of the jail there were given me letters of March 30 and April 9, 1895, written by Robert W. Dave: containing certain specific statements of oc- currences alleged to have taken place in the jail at various times during December, 1§, and January and February, i805, each statement being in some sensé a charge against the management of the fail. Mr. Davey was given every opportunity to pre- sent his charges to the department and suo- stantiate them, but fafied to appear at any of the times set for hearing him. I can dis- pose of these charges, in general, after in- Gependent investigation, by saying that there is nothing in them to call for eriti- cism upon the management of the jail.” , ————— CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
