as compared with June, 1885, as published

TO BE BEHEADED,

London, December 3.-The Times
correspondent in Chez Foo tele-
graphs; AN traffic to the north
ward will cease in ten days and the
japanese will have to be quick If
they intend to attack PeKin in 1894.
1t is reported that the next attack
will be made upon Wei-Hai-Wei, but
General Chang, a brave and com
petent officer, commands the de-
fense of this stronghold and he is
assisted by several foreigners,
"a Chinese refugee from Port
Arthur says that six generals had
equal demands in the defense and
all fought bravely, but the plans
lacked combination, hence the de-
feat The generals escaped, one to
Chez Foo, where he is in hiding,
and the other to Tien- Tsin, 1t is
likely that they will be behead-
ed.
"Part of the Japanese fleet was
lately at Wei-Hai-Wei, but has since
departed. The Chinese fear that If
peace be concluded now the dis
banded troops will plunder the whole
country within their reach.
The last reliable report is that
Japan informed the United States
Minister that she was willing to
negotiate if China would sue for
peace. China has done this; there
fore an armistice is probable"
The Times hears from Kobe
"The Government has published a
statement that Commissioner Det-
ring was not properly accredited by
China to negotiate for, and that
China must accredit high official
with complete powers"

The following are press comments

The following are press comments
upon the Presidents message:
ThePresident broadly intimates
that the action of Germany in ex-
Guiding importations of live stock
and fresh meats from this country
is due to the provision of our Gus
customs tariff act imposing a dis
eliminating duty of / cent a pound
on sugar coming from countries
that pay an export bounty thereon,
The President recommends a repeal
of such duty in the interest of COM
merce. We do not feel inclined to
approve this recommendation. An
export bounty paid by a foreign
country operates to the disadvan-
tage of the American producer A
discriminating duty in such cases is
not protection against fair compe-
ttion, but against unfair competi-
tion, 49, Memphis Commercially
peal,
The Presidents annual message
transmitted to Congress yesterday
is unusually long, and is almost as
uninteresting as it is long. Aside
from the Endorsement and synopsis
of Secretary Carlisle's plan of cur
rency reform, with one or two other
recommendations, the message has
but little other significance than at
taches of clerklike condensation
of the various department reports.
In this respect it is very different
from some of the preceding mes
sages of Mr., Cleveland, The fea-
ture will attract most attention is
the recommendation Of "A plan look

diyorcing the government from the

WASHINGTON NEWS NOTES.
New Senate Rules Wanted Press
Comments on the Presi-
dents Message.

WASHINGTON Dec. 3.-There was
more or less talk on the Democratic
side of the chamber during the day
about the Importance of a change
in the rules of the Senate, which
eliminated late in the afternoon in
the introduction of a resolution by
Senator George, looking to that
end.
The resolution directs the COM
mittee on rules to report at the
earliest practicable moment such
changes as will enable the Senate
to discharge the legislative func-
tions imposed upon it, The resolu-
ton specifically provides that the
Senate shall have power to come to
a vote on any pending question af-
ter giving such reasonable oppor-
tunity for amendment and debate
as the Senate may decide to be
proper to compel the attendance of
a quorum; that for the purpose of
making a quorum all senators may
be counted whether answering to
their names or not; that Senator
present failing to answer to the call
of his name shall be punished tor
violation of rules.

JAPAN's PEACE TERMS.
Wants Big Indemnity and Territory
She Now Occupies,

Londen, December 3-The ST.
James Gazette prints dispa ch
to news agency here, saying that
according to press statements, if
terms of peace between japan and
China be concluded now, Japan will
accept the indemnity of 400, 600, 900
yen, to be paid in installments, with
the cession to her of the territory
which she now occupies; but in the
event of the failure of the present
peace negotiations, the demands
upon China will be increased in pro-
portion to the length of time dur
ing which operations shall be car
lied on.
No armistice will be declared un-
less China sues for peace, and gives
pledges for the faithful perform
ance of her agreement.

whelmingiy Republican, as u result
Of the late election, its membership
consisting Of forty.two Republicans
and twenty.six Democrats. The
Council will probably organize as It
did last year, for the last Council was
also Republican, though not by such
u heavy majority as the present body.
Alderman Madden no doubt will be
reappointed Chairman Of the
Finance Committee, and possibly
may also be appointed to the
honorary position occupied by Mr..
George B. Swift, namely presiding
officer Of the Council. There has
never been q more capable leader OF
the Council than Aid. Madden, as
Chairman of the Finance Committee,
has proven himself. He has con.
served the best interests Of the city
and the public funds, and has sue
cessfully administered the finances of
the taxpayers under extraordinarily
adverse circumstances The other
committees will also probably be or.
gsnized along existing lines. 1t Is
understood that !. N. Powell, the
present popular ana efficient ser.
geant-at-arnis, will be reappointed.
