United States circuit court Grant Mason Of
Barnesville was tried yesterday for OBJ
structing the mails during the Great North
ern strike last April. The testimony was
brief and the jury found him guilty. His
conviction was followed by the conspiracy
case against seven GAINESVILLE men, and
during its progress the defendants agreed
to plead guilty tc obstructing the mails.
The conspiracy case was then stopped

excitement; If the employees had just griev-

protection of all.

SOUTHWESTERN INDIANS.
Return of Commissioner Browning
From His Visit to Them.

From His Visit to Them.
Commissioner Browning, who returned
yesterday from the west, said he visited
the various Indian schools and reservations
and looked into their condition. He found
all progressing steadily and we'll. He first
went through Oklahoma, and examined the
schools there. He expected to go across
to the southeast, into. the Indian territory,
but, owing to the total absence Of cross
country roads, he was compelled to make
a long circuit to the north, so as to de-
scend into the Creek. Cherokee and other
districts.
The commissioner was much pleased with
the appearance of the country, which Is
fertile and productive, and he anticipates
high degree Of prosperity for the Indians
settled there.
The last Congress made provision for
several commissions to negotiate with. the
Indians. Mr.. Browning desired to look the
fielG over personally, SO that he might act
with full knowledge of affairs. The COM
missioner listened to delegations Of Indians
frt m the territory previous to going away,
and he believes that, from a personal in
spection of the agencies and consultations
with the Indians at their homes, he is now
better prepared to carry out the legislation
affecting their interests.
The commissioner called on Secretary
Smith today and made an informal report
on his trip.

COMMISSIONER LoCHREN TALKS.

What He Says of the Letter Sent Out
by Commander Tanner.
The letter sent by Commander Tanner Of
the Union Veteran Legion, requesting the
various encampments tos c6ntribute to a
fund to be used in testing in the courts the
validity of the actions oftthe commissioner
of pensions in reducing or suspending PEN
sions, has aroused considerable interest at
the pension bureau.
The law states that a pension shall not
be reduced or suspended without thirty
days notice to the pensioner. containing a
fun and tfaie statement or the charges Or
allegations on account OF which action is
contemplated -
Speaking of the matter this morning,
Commissioner Lochren said: a. s- e,>s, s,e.yvc
IF Commander Tanner and Mr.. Hopkins
wish to bring any other cases to test my
ruling.I have no objection, but l see no
hope of theif securing any favorabls action
on any grounds involved In the Long or
Shakespeare cases. they being utterly DIFF
fereht from all others in the department
The Long case viii be heard in the Court
of Appeals next month and may be carried
to the Supreme Court If either party de
sireS. =
In view of tie fact that the Long case
involved the material points Of the Shakes
peare case, aside from the question OF
notice 1 shall probably wait until that is
decided before issuing the new notice in
the Shakespeare case.
In all the other cases in which notice
has been sent there is no question Of its
sufflciency.
The act of June q, 1890. gave pensions
ranging from $12 to 81 a month to persons
who had been in the service for ninety
days and were mentally or physically dis
abled, SO as to be permanently incapaCi-
tated for minor labor.
In granting pensions under this law the
question of incapacity for minor labor was
disregarded in many cases and in others
the rating was made too high.
In many cases pensions were given under
it for the loss of one eye or one ear, which
certainly does not incapacitate for minor
labor. The notices made the proper state
ments regarding the cases"

THE WAR AT AN END.
Terms of the Agreement Reached by
the Plenipotentiaries.

Terms of the Agreement Reached by
the Plenipotentinries.
Official advices received at the Japanese
legation today from Japan Indicate that an
understanding has been reached between
the Japanese and Chinese plenipotentiaries,
and that the news of the definite conclu-
sion of peace may be expected at any
time. The exact terms of the peace can
not as yet be ascertained, but it Is under
stood that in response to the urgent and re-
peated requests of the Chinese .plenipoten-
tiary for an abatement of the demands
originally made by them, the Japanese
plenipotentiaries have granted some conces-
sions. .'N ;'-''
Brief as the foregoing official message is
it marks the close Of the Japan-China war;
barring the possibility, of course, of some
unexpected hitch at the last moment. The
announcement of the exact terms of peace
is yet to come, but. from what ts known OF
the negotiations thus far, the general
nature of the peace is evident 1t was Off
c:sAy announced yesterday that the terms
berg insisted on were as follows:
First. Independence Of Corea.
Second. Permanent cession Of the Island
Of Formosa to Japan.
Chinese money. -..--g~ .-.
Fourth. Permanent occupation Of Fort
Arthur and the immediate surrounding
territory.
China to commerce.
The two terms which have caused trouble
of late days are the permanent occupation
Of Port Arthur and the payment of 300,OOO.-
600 taels. While no official information is
available, and no statement whatever re-
garding the terms of peace can be OBJ
tained, it is probable that 1t IS on these
conditions the Japanese plenipotentiaries
have yielded. Just how much they nave
yielded on the occupation Of Port Arthur
may prove Of vital consequence. If they
have yielded 1t entirely 1t removes Japan
from all occupancy of the mainland, and
from the strategic command of the Gulf OF
Pechili leading to Pekin.
At one time Japan was willing to occupy
Port Arthur for a term Of years, and this
may be the middle ground of agreement
although it is necessarily conjectural for
the present The purpose of temporary
occupation, 1t is said, would be to prevent
China from rearming and retaliating
against Japan for a term Of years at least
If the money demand has been reduced
little significance will attach to the fact
except that 1t will tighten Chinas burden.

SIR RoDERICK CAMERON ROBBED.
A Thief Snatched a Box Containing
Notes md Drafts.

LONDON, April 12.-Sir Roderick Cam
eron, the New York ship owner, and one Of
his daughters were among the passengers
intending to travel from this city to Paris
yesterday evening by the mail train from

case, in which were a quantity of valuable
jewelry and drafts and notes for large
amount of money. During the crush on the
platform this box was suddenly snatched
up by thief, who escaped during the con-
fusion which followed: The police were
Immediately notified of the robbery, but
up to late this afternoon they had not OBJ
tanned the slightest trace of the thief or of
the tin box.
The station master says that when she
arrived on the platform Miss Cameron
placed the box at her feet, and that i'm
mediately afterward some one tapped her
on the shoulder. She turned round and a
man who had touched her apologized for
so doing, and when she looked for the box
it was gone. The police say that 1t is evil
dent that thieves had been following Sir
Roderick Cameron and his daughter. The
notes and drafts In the tin box were valued
at $4,000; the value Of the jewelry is not
known.

PARIS. April 12.-The Matin publishes a

tention in view Of the somewhat strained
relations between France and. England,
growing out of the Niger Company's pro-

NJ. Deloncle says that Egypt was
never more tranquil than at present
and that the signatures to the petit

British rule In that country are obtained
only by force. He adds that Lord Cromer,
the British minister pienipotentiary, is plan
ming a fresh expedition to Dongola in or

excuse to maintain the British occupation
of Egypt He concludes with asserting
that the natives look to France for solu-
