CHISA's PEACE NEGOTIATIONS,
The Oriental War Can Be Ended If Japan
Is Generous.


Washington, Nov. lo.-The events of
the last six days in which officials and
diplomats of Washington have parti-
cipated lead them to believe that peace
be concluded at an early day, China
has at last reluctantly, but very fully,
admitted that she found herself wholly
unprepared for war Japan, on the
other hand, smilingly accepts this ac-
knoNled cement of her progress, and
awaits a detailed proposition as to how
much China will concede as a basis Of
peace. 1t remains to be seen whether
Japan demands too much, OF China
yields too little. but the inclination of
both powers is SO strongly towards
getting together tilat it is believed peace
will be effected on basis of Gorea 5
Independence and cash indemnity for
Japan's war expenditures. Ii, how
Yer, Japan urges her demands to the eN-
tent of cessation of part Of China S
territory, the prospect is that China
will not humble her pride to this ex-
tent, but will continue to prosecute the
war as best she can, relying on the
bitter winter now at hand to give her q
temporary respite and defense.
The foregoing is, briefly, q summary
Of the situation. as viewed by officials
here who recently had most to do with
the subject. At the outset Great Bri-
tain sought to have the United States
and the great powers Of Europe in
tervene. The facts as to these neso-
tiations have not until now been made
known. 4 cable dictation from the
London foreign office first came TO

absence of Sir Julian Pauncefote. Gosh

in New London, Conn. He took the first
train for Washington. He arrived
September o6 and remained two days.
He saw Secretary Gresham in person,
and presented Great Britain's propOsi-
ton that the United States cooperate
with the other powers toward peace. A
reply was duly given that this country
would not cooperate on the ground. it
is said, that the policy of the United
States was to avoid an alliance in q
question in which it had no immediate
concern Since that time no efforts on
the part of Great Britain to urge negO-
tiations have been made. so far as is
known.
Under the circumstances. the present
negotiations do not involve foreign in
tervention, but mutual arrangements
between China and Japan to Which the
foreign powers will give their moral

WILSON ON DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT.
hard Times. Not the Tariff. Is Responsi
Nie. He ReIicNeS.

New York, NOV 11-In q letter 10 the
Press from Washington, Hon ". c.
Wilson gives his Views Of the cause of
democratic defeat. lie writes:
Hard times is an enemy before which
no political party in America has ever
been able to make a successful stand
when in power. This is and perhaps al
ways will lie, the weak point in popular
government. When labor is out OF en-
ploEment, when farm products are low,
when our financial state is distressed, the
Wisest Of government and most whole
some laws do not avail or save the party
from temporary and disastrous over
throw.
Il do not believe the people have re-
bulSed OF discarded tariff reform in their
action last Tuesday. In every campaign
since 1856 except that Of 1858. the demo-
cratic party has won a decided victory on
that issue To contend, therefore, that
the people have now chastised the demo
cratic party for doing what they We're put
into power to do is to question their hon
esty and intelligence. III they have in
ficted chastisenlent because the party did
not carry out with sufficient promptness
ana thOrCughneSS the work they were
committed TO. the long and indefensible
delay in the senate. the sinister susple-
ions that gathered around certain duties

pointnent and disgust among the rank
and file Of the party that led to apathy
and even 1ntsjtdged hostility in the recent
elections. / have doubt that had the

Result Of the Election Discussed Through
out Great Britain

London, Nov. l3.-No political con
test in the United States has attracted
more attention and interest among the
labor organizations and in the indus
trial circles of Great Britain than the
one Of last week, and the results are
yariously commented upon
Among the poltcal-la abor organiza-
tions, the leaders Of which have been
watching the growth of the populist
movement across the water with alb
SoIbing interest, considerable surp ise
is expressed that the third party failed
to maintain the ground, much less to
make any advances. The defeat of Gov
ernor Waite and of Congressman Simp-
son, whose names have become familiar
to English radicals, is especially com
fnented upon as a loss to the cause
equal to the enforced retirement Of
Joseph Arch, Thomas Burt, Henry
Broadhurst or others of the radical
contingent in this country. "The Ameri-
can election and it's lessons has been
the topic of discussion at the weekly
meetings of scores of radical and So
cialistic societies, and there seems to be
q general concensus of opinion that the.
time when a gfanger-labor political
party will gain the ascendancy in the
United States is still far off, and that
such movements do not thrive as well
under republican as under a monarch
ial form of government
In the manufacturing districts of
Lancashire and Yorkshire, as well as
in the tinplate districts of Wales, the
result of the elections has been received
with dismay, and the daily papers have
added to the gloom by prophecies that
a new revision of the tariff to the basis
of the Mckinley act Of 1890 would seem
inevitable.

Dissatisfied Democrats and Republicans

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 13.--In the
kolb convention last night, a heated
Wrangle arose over the question OF
re-christening the party, which in a
partial report from a special committee
has been dubbed the "People's and JEFF
fersonian party" The result Of much
argument was that the convention Of
"Jeffersonians and populists' resolved
themselves into a "National peoples
party" Chairman W. II. Skaggs of the
committee on resolutions read Il report
which stated that the committee had
ample proof that kolb was elected last
August and had been counted out. DR.
Crow of Perry county paced up AND

that he would be seated even if blood
shed We're necessary, and that the pop
ulists and republicans should nleat al

gress would be called upon and a new
force bill demanded if necessary. The
convention adjourned sine die.
