LONDON, Dee. ~. - Important dis

from Toxic, indicating clearly that
practically the war between China and
Japan has ended. Whatever instruc-
tion have been conveyed to the COM
inanders of the respective military and
naval forces from the governing pow
ers of the two empires is not told in
the advices; but assurances are given
in quarters known to be thoroughly
cognizant of diplomatic affairs, that
the emperor of China has been prevailed
upon to hasten commissioners to Japan
and that these ENJOYS have such pow
ers of concession as will without doubt
enable them to bring about an immedi-
ate and thorough end of hostilities-
The details of their authority are not
given, but the presumption is not
ignored in diplomatic quarters that the
concessions asked by the Japanese gov
ernment have met with the acquiesc-
ence of the reigning powers Of China.

IMPORTANT DECISION
BY n Canadian Judge in the Matter OF
Xiolntlon Of tho lsheries Act.


Violation of tho isheries Act
TORONTO, Dec. 81. An important de-
cision was rendered by Judge MacDou-
gall in the district admiralty court
yesterday, in the action by the crown
for the condemnation of the United
States fishing tug Grace, of Dunkirk,
N. Y, for violating the Canadian fish
cries act. The tug was seized by the
Dominion government cruiser Dolphin
last April, while fishing in British
waters in Lake Erie about eight miles
from Port Colborne without Canadian
license, and brought into Port Col
borne and tied up. The owners of the
vessel denied any violation of the fish
cry laws.
Judge MacDougall delivered an elab-
crate Judgment, deciding that the law
of nations recognizes the authority OF
a state to claim territorial rights in re-
spect to so much all-inland lakes as lies
within lis conventional boundaries, and
that the tug Grace was fishing wholly
within the Canadian waters. He
therefore gave Judgment for the crown
with all costs OF the suit, declaring
that the tug, her tackle, rigging, cargo
and fishing apparatus be forfeited to
| the crown,

PITTsBURG, Dec, 2l.-The miners dis

filled with great excitement, much OF

of the address he was greeted with
more puzzling questions in minute
than he could reply to in week. Mr..
Dearmitt's explanations and answers to
questions did not in the least satisfy
his audience.
The adjournment last evening with

district sadly divided in opinion as to
the rate that can be maintained. The
delegates will place before their locals
resolution indorsing sixty-two cents
as the rate demand. The vote on this
question, which is to be final, will be

a Murlerer's Form Found photographed
on the Eye of His Victim.
JAMESTOWN, N. Y, Dec 2l.A start
ling development was made in the
Shearman murder case Thursday morn
ing. A photograph of the murderer
has been discovered. Both OF Mrs
Shearman's eyes are believed to hold
pictures of the man who murdered her.
Sheriff Jennes and Coroner Bowers
Wednesday discussed the statement Of
ten made that the eyes of the dead re-
tain pictures of the last objects on
which they rest before the last breath
is drawn. Yesterday morning it was
decided to proceed on that theory and
taking Fred S. Marsh, they visited the
ShearmaD farm Mr.. Marsh with his
kodak photographed one eye OF Mrs.
Shearman, and 10! the form OF man
was found there. A big, burly man,
wearing a long overcoat, with the CLOTH
of his trousers badly wrinkled. The
face of the man was not obtained.
Both Mrs. Shearman's eyes were re-
moved and taken by the coroner to
jamestown for further examination
and to be photographed. Mrs. Davis
eyes were photographed, but no image
was found there, consequently it is be-
lieved that the murderer came upon
her from behind and dealt the deadly
blow without showing himself to her.
This revelation caused sensation at
the farmhouse. Undertaken Partridge
was present and says the photograph
of the mans form and clothing in the
one eye of Mrs. Shearman which was
exposed to Mr.. Marsh's camera was
perfectly distinct. 1t is hoped that the
other eye will furnish the means OF
identifying the murderer by giving his
e.,

Debs and His Associates Decide to Servo
the Terms Imposed Upon Them.
CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-President Debs
and his associates, at long conference
held yesterday morning, decided to GO
10 jail and serve the terms imposed
upon them by Judge Woods without
making any effort to secure a habeas
corpus or an appeal This action was
taken directly against the advice OF
their lawyers, who even now insist
that they will try to get the appeal.
Debs gave as his reason for this sudden
change of front that he and the other
directors have no confidence in the
courts and believe they would not get
fair show there, 'We thought it was
better" he said, ITO serve out the
terms at once. We will get through all
the quicker and we think we would
Certainly have them to serve in any
Case. All the prisoners will go to the
Cook county Jail.
Another conference was held last
night, as a result Of which it was de-
ctded to push the case to its legal ter
nination, although the defendants
have no hope of victories. They will
appeal so the higher courts may be
placed on record as indorsing Judge
Woods. In the meantime, Monday be-
ing the expiration OF the stay of execu-
ton grantedb by Judge Woods, they will
GO to Jail. Judge Lyman Trumbull was
in conference with the other counsel
and agreed with them that no court
would be the least likely to reverse the
decision. The method of procedure
will probably be by an application for
writ Of habeas corpus.
