EMPEROR OF CHINA SENDS ENVOYS
 WITH POWER TO JAPAN.

They Arc Clothed With Such Authority
 That They Can Hripg About An Immcdi-
 ate and Thorough End Of tho Hostilitcs
 Between the Two Countries.
 London, Dc. 2o.-Impotant dispatches have been received tonight from Tolsio Indicating clearly that practically the war between China and Japan has ended. Whatever instructions have been conveyed to the commanders of the respective military and naval forces from the governing powers of the two empires is not told in the advices. but assurances are given in quarters known to be thoroughly cognizant of diplo- matic affairs that the emperor of China has been prevailed upon to hasten commissioners to Japan and that these envoys have such power of concession as will without doubt enable them to bring about an immediate and thorough end of hostilities.
 The details of their authority are not given, but the presumption Is not ig- nored in diplomatic quarters that the concession asked by the Japanese gov ernment have met with the acqules- cence of the reigning powers of China

200 CHILDREN IN PERIL,

Fire in a Parochial School Quickly Put Gu
 A Boy Started the Blaze
 New York, Dec. 20.-The carelessness of a small boy started fire in St. An thony's parochial school at 60 Mac dougal street, at 12 o'clock to-day. The building is a five story one. and when the blaze broke out there were in it 700 children. The smaller ones occupy rooms on the lower floors.
 On the fourth floor there is class of boys Of about fifteen years. under charge of Sister Dolores.
 The bell for dismissal had just rung, and the children were preparing to leave. when one Of the lads dropped a lighted match on the floor which was defective.
 The match fell through crack and in an instant the beams were afire. The culprit was too frightened to give the alarm. and 1t remained for Sister De- lores to discover the danger The chil- dren were got out safely after some lit- tie confusion. A basin of water failing to extinguish the flames a fire alarm was sent out.
 The engines arrived, and the flames were extinguished before they had done over $25 damage.
 A great crowd of anxious mothers, hearing of the fire, surrounded the building. They were greatly relieved to find their little ones safe and sound.

ASSIGNED TO NEW HAVEN.

Tho United States Government Assigns tho
 Iron Monitor Wyandotte to This Port fer
 the Use of the Naval Militia.
 Through the untiring efforts of Lieu- tenant Reynolds, chief of the first divi- sion, naval militia, c. N. G., the govern- ment has given ship to the state of Connecticut to be located at New HR- ven. The vessel is the iron moniton "Wyandotte," with four inches of armor on her sides and eleven inches on her turret. She is screw steamer of 1314 feet draft, battery two eleven inch smooth bores. The local division has long wished for a ship, and last night, when MT. Reynolds made known the re- suit of his visit to Washington the ama- teur tars (who all bid fair to soon be- come sailors in earnest) went wild with delight. The "Wyandotte" can easily enter our harbor, as the shallowest part of the channel Is fifteen feet deep. This will enable our seamen to take cruises in the sound for pleasure, as well as drill, and many are the good times anticipated for next summer.

SHOWN IN THE EYE.

Possibility of the Arrest of . Murderer.
 Jamestown, N. r., Dec. 20.-This morning Coroner Bowers, accompanied by Fred s. Marsh, a local scientist. went to the house where Mrs. Shear1nan and Mrs Davis were murdered by an unknown assassin last Saturday and made 2 microscopic examination of the eyes of the dead women. Nothing was revealed in the eyes of Mrs Davis, but on one of those of Mrs. Shearman the form of man was distinctly phot- ographed.
 The picture as revealed did not show the face of the naan who isj sup posed to be the murdA dArer. The mans body was shown only from the breast to the feet. He was apparently a biz man with long heavy overcoat un- buttoned and which reached below the knees. The wrinkles in the trousers could be plainly seen. Several persons examined the eye and all described the man in similar language.
 An attempt will be made to secure a photograph of the picture shown in the eye.

Fine For a Holiday Gift

A most desirable Christmas gift is the handsomely bound and profusely il- lustrated volume entitled Henry of Navarro and the Religious Wars" by Edward T. Blair. It Is published by J. B. Lippincott company of Philadel- phia and is for sale at Pease's book- store on Church street. It Is an excel- lent and impartial review of this most stormy period in French history, deal- ing with the facts in a most exhaustive yet impartial manner. Partial and par- tisan writers have so distorted the hiss tory of this eventful reign that their readers, desiring a knowledge of the facts, are left in painful doubt and obs scurity. This new work Is attractives entertaining and instructive, as we'll as impartial, and would be most accept- able holiday gift.
