CHINA SUING FOR PEACE.
WILLING TO PAY INDEMNITY
China Said TO Have Asked Interven-
tion of the Powers

dispatch received at Rome from Pekin,
states that China Is disposed to conclude Il
peace with Japan on the basis OF II guarantee
Of the Independence Of Corea and the pay
ment Of an indemnity. The amount to be
nxed by the powers. Tho dispatch adds that
1t is reported that China has invited the repre-
sentatives Of the powers to intervene to Sc
cure peace.
The London Times publishes dispatch
from Tten Tsin saying that the telegraph
line to Port Arthur was cut probably at the
narrow isthmus between Port Adams and
Tajen Wan, indicating that the Japanese
are within days march Of the Talien Wan
forts.
The report cabled that Fung Wang Ching
was SGT on lire before It's evacuation by the
Chinese has been confirmed by advices from
the front The Chinese, having evidently
abandoned hope OF making u successful de-
Tense against the advancing japanese army,
set fire to the castle and then ll,d without
waiting 10 be attacked.

capital. Nevertheless, he held fast TO n
peace policy. Last year he reached an
understanding with France during the
visit Of the Russian feet at Toulon, and
ever since Russia and France have been
regarded as constituting dual alliance
counterbalancing on the west the power OF
the triple alliance. Nothing has been pub
lished, however, to show that any formal
agreement between the two powers was sign
ed, or that the ear pledged Russia to help
France in recovering Alsace and Lorraine
from Germany. The cZar left five children
the Crown Prince Nicholas 20 years old; the
Grand Duke George, now Ill In the south Of
Russia; the Grand Duchesses Xena and Olga
and the Grand Duke Michael, q boy in his
teens
The young man who on the death Of Alex
ander III, ceases to be the Graad Duke
Nicholas and becomes the next ruler OF more
t1a1 100 900 900 people, is only 26 years old
having been born In May, 1868, the eldest son
OF the czar. But into his brief life has been
compressed the experience Of ages so far as
instruction by the best masters. extensive
reading, travel and mental and physical de-
velopement could do so.
Gossip has coupled tho name OF the Care
witch with that OF an opera dancer who is
said to be causing some trouble on account
OF his approaching marriage to Princess Alix,
or Alice. the English form Of the name. The
health OF the Grand Duke was for long
time delicate and 1t was often predicted he
would not live to wear the crown. Recently
his health has improved and he is said to be
now In good physical condition. lie has two
brothers and two sisters, so that the line
direct from the Romanoffs will continue on
the Russian throne for some time, In spite OF
the Nihlists and OF the maladics, which
seem to be part OF the royal family's heredi-
taments.
As might be expected from mild-man-
Ars.I ,t.N.s ha. a. ~
as some Of his forefathers have been. There
II nothing OF the Don Cossack in him. He
has no ambition TO crush the Turks or TO
wage war with Austria or with England on
the Eastern frontier. He Is peaceable
young man who would rather improve the
somewhat expensive ground now known as
Russia and no one denies that there Is room
for Improvement. He is unlike his two
brothers in this respect.
There Is one thing TO be said OF the young
man that cannot be said OF other knights OF
his age. His life has been clean. His name
Is unsmirched by scandal. He has lived
quietly with his books aud studies. HIS
habits have been and are OF the simplest.

OHIO.
Tho Republican Majority Larger than
Ever Before

Ohio has broken her record on Republican
pluralities. The largest plurality heretofore
was when John Brough. Republican, for gov.
ernor. In 1868, had iOl, 900 over Clement L.
Nallandigham, Democrat, the latter being
cNilcd ut the time In Canada.
Last year Governor Mckinley carried tho
state 10y over $4,000, hut no such plurality
had been previously known since the noted
Observation-Disclosures canvass when all the
Ohio soldiers In the fields and hospitals OF
the south voted.
At that time over 10000 soldiers outside
the state voted for Brough. and less than
5000 for Nallandigham. During the last 20
years the parties have alternatcd in carrying
the state, the Democrats clecting Governor
Bishop in 1877. Governor Hoadley In 1888
and Governor Campbell In 1889. While the
Republicans claim plurality for Secretary
of state Taylor OF i25.000 to 1870. 900. tho
Democrats conccde that the Republicans have
made large gains over the Mckinley vote OF
last year, and possibly beaten tho Brough

On the basis OF the state vote the Repub-
licans claim II Of the II congressman. the

TWO ESTIMATES.
Faulkner Does Not Concede the House. :.
McKee's Claims

Senator Faulkner, the chairman Of the
Democratic congressional committee, made
the following statement at midnight
indications seem to point 10 Republican
victory In the congressional contest. How.
ever, the informatian | have received does
not justify me In giving up the organization
OF the house by the Democrats nor does my
information justify me In giving up the cleo
ton OF Mr. Wilson.
There seems to be no possibility Of loss Of
more than one district OF Virginia. II the re-
por.s OF the Associated Press are correct. Il
will be impossible for the Democrats to or
ganizo tho house. The Republicans are
claiming everything, but pay little atten-
tion to their claims. We expect to receive
kilograms from every Democratic candidate
for congress, and then will have something
definite on which to base an estimate. ~
Senator Faulkner declined to express an
opinion OF the causes which brought about
increased Republican majorlties. The Demo-
cratic headquarters were deserted before
midnight by all but the clerks OF the com
mittee.
