THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1895. 3 PEACE IS CONCLUDED, Treaty Ratifications Are Exchanged by Japan _and China. NO CHANGE IN THE TEXT. Conditional Renouncement of Peninsula of Liao Tung. DUE PRECAUTIONS ARE TAKEN, The Mikado Has a Safeguard! Against Anything Like a War of Reprisal. WASHINGTON, D. C., May cial dispatch from Tokio received at the Japanese legation to-day states that the ratifications of the t v of peace between Japan and China were fo0 on Wednesday.

It will be remembered that the treaty of peace itself provides that Wei vei shall be held until the first 100,000,000 taels of the indemnity and the next two annual installments have been paid; so that with the added guarantee of the po: on of Port Arthur, even al- only temporary, the Japanese nment would appear to have taken possible precantion for the future. foregoing statement is official, com- ing direct from Tokio by cable. The un- standing is that it embodies the reply Japan recently gave to the protest d the allied powers. YOKOHAMA, Jaras, May 9.—China has withdrawn her request to have the armistice prolonged, and the ratificationsof the treaty of peace were exchanged at Che- foo at midnight. PARIS, Fraxce, May 9.—The Figaro morning says it has been left to Spain tk to draft a plan for final settlementof the matter in dispute between Japan and the three powe ERSBURG, Russia, May 9.— France and Germany, it is an- nounced, are about to increase their naval forces in the China seas. LONDON ., May 9.—A dispatch to the Times from Chefoo says that Russia diselaims any aggressive designs against Manchuria and asserts she is acting on purely a defensive footing. HISTORY OF THE WAR. Some Interesting Information Purchased by the State Department. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 9.—The State Department has just purchased an appendix to the volume of foreign rela- tions of 1894, comprising a history of the Chinese-Japanese War. Our connec- tion in this matter first appears in a dis- patch dated June 22, last year, from Mr. Uhl, acting secretary, to United States Minister S8ill at Seoul, in which he says: “In view of the friendly interest of the United States in the welfare of Korea and its people you are, by direction of the President, instructed to use every possible effort for the preservation of peaceful con- ditions.” Mr. Sill replied that he would do as much as possible in the interest of peace; that neither the Japanese nor the Chinese troops would withdraw, although the re- bellion had been suppressed by the Ko- reans; that the Japanese were stubborn, the Japanese seeming to desire war, and that Korean integrity was menaced. At this point Charles Denby, our Charge at Peking, enters the field in a report to of Korean independence and a war indem- nity to Japan, but six days later Secretary Gresham replied that while the President earnestly desired that China and Japan should agree upon terms of peace alike honorable to both and not humbling to Korea, he could not join the powers in an intervention. On November 23 Mr. Denby cabled at the expense of the Chinese Government an appeal to the President to do China the great favor to intervene to stop the war and re-establish peace. Gresham cabled November 26 as follows: “Prompted by that sincere friendship which the United States constantly de- sires to show toward China the President desires me to intimate his readiness to ten- der his good ofiices toward bringing the present war with Japan to a close on terms alike honorable to both nations,should he be assured that such a tender would be acceptable to both.” At the same time he cabled Minister Dun the following dispatch, which, in view of the recent events, seems full of prophesy : “The deplorable war between Japan and China endangers no policy of the United States in Asia. Our attitude toward the belligerents is impartial, friendly ;and neutral, desiring the welfare of both. If the struggle continues without check to Japan’s military operations on lana and t is not improbable that the powers having interest in that guarter may de- mand a settlement, not favorable to Japan’s future and well-being. Cherishing the most friendly sentiments of regard for Japan, the President directs that you as- certain whether a tender of his good offices in the interests of a peace alike honorable to both nations, will be acceptable to the Government at Tokio.” Two days later be cabled Mr. Denby that while the President preferred to act alone he would act jointly with other powers, if Japan consented to determine the amount of indemnity. After some further corre- spondence, showing that China was anxious to accept our good offices on the terms proposed, Mr. Dun transmits under date of November 17 a very courteously worded note from the Japanese Govern- ment, practically declining the offer. On November 17 the Japanese Govern- ment requests that if China desires to apr proach Japan upon the subject of neace it shall be done through the United States Legation at Peking, to which Secretary Gresham assented. Mr. Denby writes that China received this proposal with pleasure, though she gave him to understand that she proposed to act simply as an intermediary, stating the basis of negotiations and leaving them to arrange the details. On the 22d he cabled that China had made through him direct overtures for peace on the basis of Korean independence and a war indem- nity. Some part of the correspondence at this point is devoted to a history of the attempt at a settlement of the war through Mr. Dietring and his rejection by the Jap- anese on the ground of insufficient creden- tials, and the story of our intervention winds up with the few telegrams from Mr. Denby announcing that Li Hung Chang had been named plenipotentiary and that Japan had agreed to receive him. SHARES ENEN TO FRIENDS Startling Allegations ABainst Officers of a Mining Company. Peculiar Transactions Are Checked by the Appointment of a Receiver. CLEVELAND, Onio, May 9.—The Ohio Colorado Mining and Milling Company passed into the hands of a receiver to-day. Charles A. Radcliffe brought an action against the concern in the United States Circuit Court and made some startling allegations. The company is capitalized at $1,500,000 in shares of $:0 each. Rad- cliffe said that up to August 3, 1893, 4033 shares of stock had been issued and that the officers of the company issued to their friends, without consideration, 25,216 shares out of sympathy for losses sustained by those who held shares in the Magna Charta Silver Mining and Tunnel! Com- pany. Radcliffe said that Alexander Dixon, J. B. Cameron, W. H. Rider, J. A. Arm- strong, H. M. Clark, E. J. Kellogg and J. Nesbit Wilson, pretending to act as execu- tive officers of the company, were about to divide up more shares among their friends, and that when Wilson called an annual meeting of stockholders he only notified those to whom stock had been given. The court was asked to order the stock alleged to have been donated canceled and to cause the secretary to issue a call fora meeting to elect directors; also that the claim of the plaintiff be ordered paid. BSecretary Gresham describing the prepara- tions for war, and saying that the action of Japan is criticized there as being unduly bellicose. On July 2, the Korean Minister here appeared at the State Department, and, by the direction of his Government, appealed to Secretary Gresham to calla powerful conference to prevent conflict. Mr. Denby on July 8 cabled that the Viceroy desired him to telegraph to Wash- ington to take the initiative to urge the powers to unite in requesting the Japanese Government to withdraw its troops from Korea. On July 8, Sill cabled that the Korean Minister at Washington had cabled his Government that Secretary Gresham has advised him to protest against the demand of the Japanese Min- ister, for great reforms, made under duress and to notify the Foreign Minister. Secre- tary Gresham very promptly cabled, say- ing he had told the Korean Minister that our Government could not entertain the proposal and not advising Korea to pro- test and notify the powers. On July 2 Secretary Gresham sent a long letter to bassador Bayard at London ng a statement of what had occurred ashington and the extent to which our Government had exercised its good offices in the interest of peace. He told of the appeals of the Korean Minister, and said that he had informed him that, while the United States sympathized with Korea, he must maintain absolute impar- tiality; conld exercise our influence with Japan in a friendly way, and in no way could interfere jointly with other powers. He also detailed an interview he had Judge Ricks enjomed the issue of further shares of stock and appointed M. B. Gary receiver, with a $2500 bond. ——— EDUCATIONAL EXHIBITS. Prizes Awarded at the Convention of the Y. M. C. 4. SPRINGFIELD, Mass.,, May 9.—The second day’s session of the International Y. M. C. A. convention was devoted al- most entirely to routine business. The standing committees were announced, and Frederick B. Prattread a paper on edu- cational work. The judges on the educa- tiona! exhibition early completed their work, making most of the awards. More than sixty cities made entries. The high- est awards of merit have nearly all been captured by Eastern cities. Dayton, Ohio, makes a very remarkable showing, having captured seven first awards and three special awards. Among the principal awards made to-day none went west of Minneapolis. gy SENTENCE OF A FORGER. Eight Years’ Imprisonment for a Very Smooth Swindler. DENVER, Cowo., May 9.—A special to the News from Colorado Springs says: Judge Harris to-day sentenced E.R. Wal- ter, convicted of forgery in having added names to the payrolls of the Colorado Mid- land road and then having drawn the money, to serve two years on four different counts, or eight years in all. The de- fendant was given ninety days to file a bill of exceptions and the case will go to the Bupreme Court. Walter was chief clerk in the road’s off here and his irregularities with the Japanese Minister here, in which he had informed the Min- ister that it would be very gratifying to the United States if Japan would deal kindly and fairly with her feeble neighbor, whose helplessness entitled her to our eympathy. In answer to the appeal of the Chinese Minister the Secretary had replied thata course was open to China which had been adopted by other powers, namely: an offer to settle by friendly arbitration. On October 6 Mr. Goschen, the British Charge d’Affaires here, telegraphed from New London to ascerfain whether the United States Government wonld join with England, Germany, France .and Russia in intervention on the basis of the guarantee aggregated many thousands of dollars. — el Killed By Lightning. MERIDAN, Miss., May 8.—Two boys, Fred and Cluas Hanner, aged 14 and 11 years, sons of W. A. Hanner, were killed by lightning while plowing in a field near here to-day. Two negroes were killed by lightning near Lauerdale yesterday. __. T maermar Miners Stand the Reduction. POMEROY, Onro, May 9.—The miners’ strike in this district is nearing an end. Work on several mines has been resumed at the 13{-cent rate, the miners having concluded to stand the reduction of one- fourth of a cent a bushel. In reply Mr., NOT THE RIGHT MAN Bland Speaks Modestly of the Boom of Friends. ALL IN SILVER'S CAUSE. Has Too Many Enemies Among Democrats to Run for President. FREE COINAGE HIS DESIRE. Success of the Effort to Make Gold the Money Basis Will Ruin the Country. DENVER, Coro., May 9.—Ex-Congress- man Richard P. Bland of Missouri, who will lecture in Denver next Saturday night on “The Twenty Years’ Battle for Silver and the Fight Yet to Come,” is resting quietly in this city, as he is stili suffering from the effects of the grip. He said to- day: “I had not heard of the efforts of my friends in St. Louis in the way of securing for me the nomination for President by the free silver Democrats in 1896. In fact I do not think that I am the proper man for them to select. In my public life I have never made a fight to get personal advan- tage for myself. Especially is this true in the silver cause. I have fought for the cause itself. friends for me to be an available candidate. “Rather than try to make friends and build up for myseH a political future, I tried to advance the cause I advocated. This has made me less available as a can- didate than many others. plenty of good men in the ranks who would have greater strength than I. I have tried to keep the Democrats stirred up during my terms of office, and I fear I succeeded a little too well to expect success in a Presi- dential canvass. “I do not propose to support any politi- cal party hereafter that will not support the free and unlimited coinage of silver. I see grand changes going on all over the country in favor of the movement. 1think it will be brought about. If the effort to make gold the money basis of the country is maintained it must and will cause ruin to our land. Silver must have all of the privileges of gold, and I cannot agree to any other plan.” BAPTISTS OF THE SOUTH, Gathering of Delegates to the Convention at Wash- ington. There WIIl Be an Effort for a Re- union With Northern Fac- tions. WASHINGTON, D. C, May 9.—The delegates to the Southern Baptist conven- tion, the largest delegated ecclesiastical body in the world, which meets here to- morrow, are arriving in great numbers on every train. Between 1000 and 1200 are ex- pected to be here to-morrow. Although the programme will be largely confined to action on the reports of three organiza- tions of the church, home and foreign mis- sionary, Sunday-school and educational societies, an important feature of the con- vention is expected to be the decision of a plan for the reduction of the representa- tion, now based on money contributions, as well as local representation. If the mem- bership is reduced, this will probably lead to a proposal for a reunion of the Northern and Southern churches. The split which occurred in 1845 grew out of the anti-slavery agitation, and, although the two wingsof the church have been in harmony since the close of the war, they have remained separate organi- zations, because the large delegate mem- bership of each made the practical con- duct of its business under separation easier. The Young People’s Society met to-day to discuss the afliliation with the Inter- national Young People’s Union of the Baptist Church, and to organize a Southern Young People’s Baptist Society. Resolutions restricting the vote to male delegates, and to refer the whole matter of a young people’s organization back to the churches, caused a hot debate. It was finally decided to allow theladies to speak, but not to vote. : e OF INTEREST TO THE COAST: Appointment of Postmasters in Two Cali-, fornia Towns. WASHINGTON, D.

C.,, May 9.—The Edmunds anti-polygamy act is being vig- orously enforced in the District of Colum- bia. During the past week four or five couples have been convicted of unlawful cohabitation, the Court of Appeals having decided that the law is applicable here as well as in Utah and other Territories. The police in the different precincts are getting together a list of those living' in unlawful cohabitation, and there is said to be scores of them in a single police district. Some couples after being arrested were married in the Police Court and then released. One negro couple were married by the Police Judge and the court officers and attorneys acted in the capacity respectively of best man, ushers, etc. The determination of the officers to enforce the Edmundslaw has frightened the violators of the law in the Washington slums and the conse- In doing so I have made too | many enemies among my Democratic | There are | quence is that the marriage license clerk has been doing a land office business for the past few days. e CHIE¥ OF ENGINEERS. General Casey to Be Succeeded by Colonel Mendell. WASHINGTON, D.C., May 9.—General Casey, chief of engineers, will retire to- morrow. It has been generally supposed that Colonel William P. Craighill would be appointed his successor, but it is now be- lieved the President is considering the promotion of the man next in line, Colonel George H. Mendell, who is in charge of the public works on the Pacific Coast. Colonel Mendell will retire October 1,1895; Colonel Abbott August 31, 1895; and Colonel Craighill July 1, 1897. The promotions that follow General Casey’s retirement aside from the promotion to chief engineer are as follows: Lieutenant-Colonel John W. Barlow, to be colonel; Major David Pheap, to be lieutenant-colonel; Captain William L. Marshall, to be major; First Lieutenant H. E. Watterman to be cap- tain; Second Lieutenant Edgard Jodwin to be first lieutenant. —_——— MEADE SOON TO RETIRE. Admirals Walker and Ramsey Candi- dates to Succeed Him. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 9.—Ad- miral Meade has requested to be re- lieved fromx command of the North At- lantic siation and granted a year’s leave of absence. The request has been granted by | Secretary Herbert. Admiral Meade has notified the department that he intends to { retire on June 1. This will also be granted. The probabilities are that the choice of his successor will be between Admiral Walker, president of the Lighthouse Board, and Admiral Ramsey, who is now chief of the Bureau of Navigation in the Navy Department. Increase of the Gold Reserve. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 9.—The treasury gold reserve to-day shows an in- crease over yesterday of $3,448,289, making its total $96,039,886. No explanation is made beyond the statement that it is pre- sumed the deposit was made by the bond syndicate. BETRAYED BY FRIENDS, How “Bitter Creek” and “Dynamite Dick” Were Shot Down. It Is Said the Killing Was as Cow- ardly as the Assassination of Jesse James. GUTHRIE, O. T., May 9.—Newcomb, “Bitter Creek,” and Pierce, alias “Dyna- mite Dick,” leaders of the desperate Dalton- Doolin gang of outlaws, who were killed last week, were betrayed by friends, en- trapped into the latter’s home and cow- ardly murdered while they slept under their hosts’s roof. The killing, according toa story of meighbors brought in from Ingalls, was done by the Dunns, who had been promised large rewards by the depu- ties, who claimed later to have made the capture of the famous outlaws. The latters’ friends have sworn venge- ance and the Dunn family are arming to protect themselves. The killing is on a par with the cowardly assassination by the Ford boys of Jesse James. The Dunns were in Ingalls the afternoon of ‘the killing and went home with a large amount of beer and whisky. It had been arranged to have Sallie Niles, a sweetheart of Dynamite Dick, and the two outlaws meet at the Dunn house that night for a big time. By midnight the outlaws were badly under the influence of liquor and shortly afterward went to sleep, heavily armed as usual, and with- out removing their clothes. While in this condition, it is asserted, the Dunns per- forated them with Winchester bullets and buckshot. An examination of the bodies showed that all the bullets and buckshot had gone into the bodies in such a way as to leave no other conclusion than that the men were lying down when shot. One of the Dunn brothers was brought in herea few days after the capture and lodged in the Federal jail, but in two days was turned loose. The Dunns are lying very low. Their house is an arsenal and they give evidence | of expecting a raid on them every night, as Newcomb and Pierce had many friends in that country. LOST HIS BODY AT CARDS, Exciting Game Between a Con- demned Man and a Doctor. b ' Now There Is a Legal Contest for the Possession of the Corpse. DENVER, Coro., May 9.—Dr. Rucker, Coroner at Pocatello, Idaho, arrived in Denver to-day. He is seeking possession of a body won in a game of cards. His antagonist is Dr. Cuneo, the Italian Consul. Carlo Perri committed suicide just before the day set for his execution for the murder of a man named McNamara. One day Perri offered to wager his corpse against $1000 that he could defeat Dr. Rucker at cards. If he should win the doctor should send the money to Perri’s mother. In case he should lose the doctor could have his body to dissect. They played, and Dr. Ruckerwon. Perri signed a paper ordering that his body should for- ever remain in the possession of Dr. Rucker. The dead man’s relatives insist that the remains shall be proverly buried. Dr. Cuneo will make every effort to gain possession of what is left of the Italian murderer and bury the bones according to the rites of the church of Rome. AR, Make Charges of Foul Play. RAWLINS, Wyo., May 9.—The Cali- fornia friends of Sidney Smith have made no charges of foul play in his case, as far as is known here. The fact, as found by the Coroner’s jury, was that he hanged himself in his cell. The testimony at the inquest was very conclusive as to his being mentally unbalanced. He acted queerly and was praying to be saved all the way from Cheyenne to Rawlins. Here he was locked up on a charge of insanity, and he then killed himself. e I The Bi-Partisan Police Bill. ALBANY, N. Y., May 9.—Governor Morton has signed the bi-partisan police bill for New York City. It provides for a Police Commission of four members, com- posted of two Republicans and two Demo- crats. — - Greater New York Bill Defeated. ALBANY, N. Y., May 9.—At 3:30 p. M. the greater New York bill was put on its final passage in the Senate, and was de- feated by a vote of 14 ayes to 15 noes. WILL GO INTO CAMP. Miners in the Pittsburg District to Be Called Out. STERN MEASURES TAKEN Non-Union Men Are to Be Surrounded at Every Turn. PASS THROUGH ENEMIES' LINES. About Five Thousand Men to Form a Cordon Around Those Yet at Work. PITTSBURG, Pa., May 9.—President Cairnes of the Pittsburg Miners’ Associa- tion announced to-day that he would probably call out the miners in the Pitts- burg district within a week, including the miners in union mines. It is his purpose to have the strikers form a camp around the mines of the New York and Cleveland Company at Plum Creek and those of the Pittsburg and Chicago and Snowden Company at Finleyville, so that the non-union men will have to pass through the union camps to go to their work. These mines, he says, are the stumbling blocks which are in the way of a settle- ment, by which the miners might secure a higher rate of wages. He prcposes to have about 5000 men in each camp, and says he will be able to maintain them with money which he will receive from the Illinois miners, who have been granted the 69-cent rate, with a check-off system whereby the miners will only receive 60 cents in reality, the other 9 cents going to help the miners of this district to carry on their fight. He says the Illinois operators are in the agree- ment with the object of securing an equit- able mining scale all over the country. In support of the reported combination between the miners here and the Illinois operators, it was stated to-night that the first $10,000 of the money from the Illinois operators is to arrive here Monday. The miners are to hold a convention here Monday to decide on calling out all the miners in the district. One reason for this is that the operators whose mines are closed down are filling their orders through mines that are paying the scale rate. CHARLESTON, W. Va., May 9.—Gover- nor McCorkle to-day received a telegram from Logan M. Bullitt, president of the Southwest Improvement Company, at Pocahontas, Va., stating that the men going to work in his mine just over the line in this State had been fired upon by Flat Top strikers. The dispatch stated that application had been made to the Sheriff of Mercer County in this State for protection, but that the officers sympathized with the strikers and for this reason would neither protect the company’s property nor apply for military aid. The Governor wired Mr. Bullitt that application for troops must come from the civil authorities, and also wired Shenff Dangerfield to take steps necessary to stop the lawlessness and prevent violence, and also instructed Adjutant-General Holley, now at Bluefields, to investigate the re- ported trouble and report. Late to-night General Holley wired that there was no need of troops ANTI-REVOLUTION BZLL. The Prussian Minister Takes a Hand in the Argument. BERLIN, GErMaNY, May 9.—The debate on the anti-revolution bill, which is now up for its second reading, was continued in the Reichstag to-day. The Prussian Minister of Justice, Dr. von Schoenstedt, said that the Government attached the greatest importance to the adoption of the proposal of Herr von Levetzow, which partially substitutes the Government bill for the proposals of the committee which has had the anti-revolution bill under dis- cussion, with the result that a number of amendments have been incorporated in it which have, in the opinion of the Govern- ment, weakened certain provisions of the measure. Dr. von Schoenstedt urged the members of the Center party to agree to Von Levetzow’s motion, saying that other- wise they would play the socialist game. Continuing, the Minister of Justice said recollections of the Kulturkampf had clouded the vision of the Centrists in com- mittee, and that it was easier for them to yield now than on the third reading of the bill. S FIRE AND A SUICIDE. Two Rather Sensational Happenings in Samoa. APIA, Samoa, April 24.—Apia has again been visited by a large fire which took place on the 2d inst., destroying morethan $100,000 worth of property. Ten business places were destroyed, several of them being owned by United States citizens, D. S. Parker’s fine business premises being entirely destroyed. A distressing suicide took place on the 3d inst. A young American named M. R. W. Janney, nephew of Senator Wood of Ohio, who had been for some time in an insane condition, brought on by illness, managed to obtain possession of a rifle with which he blew off the top of his skull. chem T FAVOR A PROTECTORATE.] Nicaraguans Would Even Become Citizens of Uncle Sam. MANAGUA, Nicaracua, May 9.—Many prominent Nicaraguans, some of them being in high official positions, are openly favoring the establishment by the United States of a protectorate over Nicaragua, or the incorporation of the country into the great Republic. They deciare that peace and prosperity would then result, the wonderful rich natural resources of Nicaragua would be developed and a finan- cial system be organized by which all the country’s just debts would be canceled. gl REBELLION IN FRANCE. Great Trouble Brewing in the Battle Be- tween Church and State. LONDON, Exe., May 10.—A dispatch to the Chronicle from Paris says the Govern- ment will be unable to much longer ignore the rebellion which is gaining ground all over Krance—a rebellion of the church against the state. The attitude of the Bishops is making a general impression upon the public mind and the country is being divided into camps. Only one Bishop has had the courage to advocate submission to the law, and he was promptly extinguished by his metropoli- tan. The strangest part of the affair is the apparent turnabout of the Pope. It is an open secret that his Holiness will not withhold the papal benediction from those who think it their duty to resist the droit d’acroissement. The Assumption Fathers, who are the proprietors of political religious papers and printing millions of sheets, advocate a war to the end. The socialists are jubilant over the prospects of a war with the church. SR rge s A == SIR ROBERT PEFEL DEAD, Brilliant Career of the Noted English Statesman. LONDON, Exg., May 9.—The Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel is dead. Sir Robert Peel was the eldest son of the late Sir Robert Peel, second baronet, was born May 4, 1822, educated at Harrow and at Christchurch, Oxford, and entered the diplomatic service in 1844, in which he remained until 1850. He was a Lord of the Admiralty from 1855 to 1857, and Chief Secretary for Ireland from 1861 to 1865; was sworn a Privy Councilor and made G. C. B. January 5,1886. He took a prominent part in the debates of the House of Commons, especially on Irish questions and subjects affecting the for- eign policy of the country. BATTLE - OVER SCHOOLS, Manitoba Determined to Fur- ther Resist the Remedial Order. Premler Greenway’s Motion to Ad- Journ the Legislature Vigor- ously Opposed. WINNIPEG, MasiroBs, May 9.—The battle now raging over separate schools is to be further continued. Upon the reas- sembling of the Manitoba Legislature to- day Premier Greenway arose and said: “Before proceeding on the order of the day I desire to say this: When asking the House to adjourn until the present date, as will be within the recollection of the members, in view of the gravity of the questions involved in the consideration of the school remedial order communicated from Ottawa, I stated that we would re- quire sufficient time to consider the same. Iam now about to ask the House to order a further adjournment until June 13, in order that further consideration may be had. “Iam aware in making the motion that the House do now adjourn that I am asking the indulgence of the House, be- cause in making the motion it would re- quire, if my honorable friends opposite in- sisted, that I shonld give notice, as it is not the intention to proceed with other business until this matter is disposed of. I now desire to move that the House do adjourn to Thursday, June 13.” No sooner had the Premier taken his seat than A.F. Martin, leader of the opposition, was on his feet and for two hours he spoke in opposition to the Premier’s motion to adjourn. He claimed that the duty of the Government was at once to decide upon the school matters. He was himself a Catholio and represented his co-religionists there. The delay, he asserted, was simply a move to shelve the responsibility upon other shoulders and he strongly protested against such tactics. Martin continued speaking until 4 o'clock, when Premier Greenway asked him to move the adjournment of the de- bate until evening, to which Martin assented and the House adjourned. At this evening’s session Mr. Martin continued his speech and was foillowed by Mr. Prendergast, who regretted that the Government had found it necessary to take a further adjournment. Attorney- General Sifton said the remedial order as submitted by the Dominion Government, involved a return to the old school sys- tem, and this they did not propose to do. There were also a great many other phases of the guestion and further time must be taken for consideration. The question was then put: ‘Shall the rules be suspended ?"’ There was no dissenting voice and the Legislature was declared adjourned to June 13. The action of the Government in moving for an adjournment, it is said, is explained by the statement that new points have arisen which demanded further considera- tion. Some may think this adjournment looks like a sign of compromise, but the members who are in the confidence of the Ministry one and all support the adjourn- ment. They have been out through the constituencies and have - come back stronger supporters than ever of national schools. It would, therefore, not be satis- factory to them if this meant any back- down on the part of the Cabinet. et e e Balfour Is Arraigned. LONDON, ExG., May 9.—Jabez Spencer Balfour, ex-member of Parliament and Liberator Society promoter, who was re- cently extradited from the Argentine Re- public, was rearraigned in the Bow-street Police Court to-day. He is charged on numerous counts with obtaining money under false pretenses, falsifying the books of the company and with complicity in the Liberator frauds with Hobbs and Wright. The magistrate dezlined to discuss the question of the prisoner’s extradition, and he was again remanded. e Imprisonment of Waller, PARIS, France, May 9.—United States Embassador Eustis has not yet received a reply to his note to the Foreign Office here regarding the trial by court-martial and sentence of twenty years’ imprisonment of John T. Waller, formerly United States Consul to Tamatave. But M. Hanotaux, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has promised, upon receiving the necessary documents from Madagascar, to give the question his full consideration. e LS Vice-Consul Dreier Banqueted. COPENHAGEN, DENMARK, May 9.— United States Vice-Consul Dreier was given a banquet to-night at the Hotel Phee- nix by the members of the Royal Danish Commission and the Danish exhibitors at the World’s Fair. Many of the most prominent citizens of the city were present. e Rumor Kills Ex-King Milan.

Not Held for the Killing of His Wife and Brown. A LESSON IN MORALITY. Cheers Follow the Decision Rendered by Judge Thompson. APPROVAL OF THE VERDICT. Close of a Chapter in the Most Sensational Tragedy In Ken= tucky’s History. LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 9.—The City Court was crowded to-day when the case of Fulton Gordon, charged with the mur- der of his wife and Archie Brown, was called. Prosecuting Attorney Thurman en- deavored to show the court that Gordon’s crime was nothing less than deliberate murder. Attorney Shields, for the defense, asked the dismissal of the prisoneron the ground of justification. Mr. Scott, who represented Governor Brown in the prosecution, then began a vigorous arraignment of Gordon, and pic- tured in glowing colors the character and qualities of Archie Brown. After arguments were completed and the case closed, Judge Thompson announced that he could not hold the prisoner and that he would discharge him, as an object lesson to others guilty of infidelity. Never was a crowd more demonstrative in its appreciation than was the immense throng in the Police Court when Judge Thompson announced in a clear tone the verdict in the case. Cheer after cheer went up, and hand after hand was thrust out to the Judge to show how much his verdict was appreciated. There was evidently not a soul in the court, save the attorneys for the prosecution and perhaps some friends of the dead man, but was pleased with the verdict. 1In vain did the bailiff endeavor to restore order, but it was of no avail, and even after the vast throng reached the streets, the cheering was kept up. In explanation, Judge Thompson said there was no evidence of guilt on Gordon’s part, but that Brown and Mrs. Gordon stood on the verge of an abyss of ruin and death, and their fate was only what could be expected. Thus ends the last chapter of the most sensational tragedy in the history of Ken- tucky. ADVOCATES 4 CHANGE. Hurlburt Criticizes the Management of Yale College. NEW HAVEN, Co» May 9.—William H. Hurlburt of New York, Yale 1860, has issued a circular and sent it to each mem- ber of his class, advocating a change in the method of electing members of Yale cor- poration. He says: *‘Yale does not grow, it drifts. Yale has prospered in a certain way, but how much more prosperous might she have been with a governing corpora- tion progressive and up to date. The cus- tom that a corporation member shall suc- ceed himself at .the expiration of his term of office should be modified. But few die and none resign. It is a grave question whether in these progressive times dountry clergymen are the fittest persons to have entire control of such an institution as Yale University.” e CONSPIRACY IN SALVADOR.
