LONDON. Oct. 24.-The Central News says:
THE mediating powers submitted further and
more definite proposals for peace 10 China and
japan, but japan rejected them. The Japanese
Government held that the opening overtures
must be made directly at Hiroshima from .
quarter formally accredited and empowered TO
make them. China was ready TO conclude an
armistice or peace on reasonable conditions"
The Globe this morning prints adespstch from
Yokohama saying that fighting took place near
Port Arthur on the 23d inst. II Is believed that
the Japanese troops engaged were those com
posing the second army of about $4,000 men,
which recently left Hiroshima.
The Morning Post has this despatch, dated at
Chemulpo on Oct. 10:
THE second force OF japanese left Seoul on
the 9th TO quell the rebellion OF the Tonphako
who are impeding seriously the pacihcation of
the country. stirring hatred and revolt wherever
they appear. The japanese are trying to check
their agitation, and have scattered silver plenti-
fully among the Coreans. IL Is said in Seoul
alone they have dsbursed 1000 yen.
The road from Seoul to Ping-Yang is strewn
with the decomposing carcasses of horses and
cattle. On the battlefield Of Ping-Y Yang the odor
buried hastily and with but few hand
fuls Of earth over their bodies. The graves
have been washed open BY the rains, and the
bodies are now exposed to the sun. Large num-
bers Of sick japanese have been brought here In
boats by night. Most Of them are suffering from
dysentery. The arrangements of the Japanese
hospitals are very defective. Officers who were
present at Ping-Yang say that the Chinese In
fantry cut through the cnemy's ranks, but the
cavalry was annihiatcd the horses sticking IN
the marshes and going down by the score under
the Japanese fire.
A despatch to the Central News from Shang-
hal says the Norwegian steamer Nordensk Jolt
which was boarded and searched by the Jap
anese off Shan-Tung. and was sent to Japan In
consequence Of cont raband material being found
aboard OF her. has arrived at Taku.
The despatch also says that the Norwegian
steamer Pick, at Tientsin from Shanghai, which
was stopped Oft shan-Tung, promontory by 2
Japanese war ship and searched. had on board
900 soldiers. Upon the approach of the Japan;
csc ship the soldiers took of their uniforms and
burned them. The Japanese on making search
OF the Pick found nothing contraband. and al
lowed her to proceed for her destination.

A RECENT decision in the United
States court of appeals for the
Chicago circuit is important, as it
affects the question of liability for
street car accidents. A man named
Hyman Cohen attempted to get on
board the Madison street cable cars
at Halsted. The cars had stopped,
but werc about ready to start up.
Cohen could have got on the rear car
without difficulty but he ran for
ward to get on the grip car He had
taken hold Of that car when it started
suddenly and he was thrown to the
ground, receiving injuries. Cohen
sued the street railway company for
damages in the United States Circuit
Court. On the trial the Judge called
the attention Of the jury tc the fact
that he had passed by the car which
he might have boarded without danger
for the purpose of getting on the grip
car. This raised the question of con-
tributory negligence, and the verdict
of the jury was in favor of the COM
pany. The case was appealed, and
was thoroughly tried in the Court of
Appeals. Judge Romance Bum said:
"The conductor Of street cars, having
the safety and even the lives of pa
irons in his keeping, has not dis.
charged his whole duty TO the public
when he has stopped his train and
waited what may appear, according
to his schedule, reasonable time for
passengers to embark. He is bound
to exercise the highest degree Of dill
gence practicable to protect passen-
gers and prevent accident. He is
bound to know when he starts his car
suddenly out with full force that no
person attempting to embark is at
that moment with one foot on the
platform and the other on the ground
and with his hand upon the railing In
the act of getting on board, or is
otherwise in position of danger. /"
This significant caution to conductors,
enforced by Judgment of several
thousand dollars against the street
car company, was not an idle use OF
words The admonition was rendered
necessary by the extreme carelessness
of some conductors, who were appar-
emily thoughtless of the safety OF
passengers while attempting to make
fast time on their trips
