PEACE Is IN SIGHT.
The Jap Legation Receives
Good News From Home.
CHINA GRANTED CONCESSIONS.
bapnn's Demands Abated In Response to
Urgent and Repeated Requests From
the Chinese Pienipotentiaries- 40 Minister
Kurino speouiates as to the Terms.

WASHINGTON, April l3.--Official adj.
vices received at the Japanese legation
from Japan indicate that an under
standing has been reached between the
Japanese and Chinese plenipotentiaries
and that the news of the definite con-
clusion Of peace may be expected at any
time.
The exact terms Of the peace cannot
as yet be ascertained, but it is under
stood that in response to the urgent and
repeated requests of the Chinese pleni-
potentiaries for an abatement Of the de-
mands originally made by them the
Japanese plenipotentiaries have granted
some concessions.
Minister Kurino said that in the alb.
sence of definite word from his govern
ment as to tho terms of the peace un.
derstanding, he did not wish to specu'
late on the terms. He regarded 1t as
settled, however, that the Island OF
Formosa would be permanently ceded
to Japan. That much had already pro
ceeded beyond the stage of contention
He also considered the independence OF
Korea as settled. This would leave the
question of indemnity, of Port Arthur:
occupation, and of future treaty ar
rangements, as the subjects on which
the japanese plenipotentiaries may
have granted some concessions. Thest
concessions may apply to one or the
other of the three terms, or to all o
them - The minister is hardly prepared
to believe that there will be no occupa
tion of Port Arthur,

A Deficit of $50. 900 Found.

HAzELToN, Pa, April l3.-City Con.
troller Jacobs, who recently took charge
of the office, astounded councils by in
forming them that the books of Joseph
Salmon, his predecessor, showed de.
ficit of $4,000, While he thought that
it was clerical error, he would not as
sumo charge until the matter was ad.
justed. City Solicitor McNair was sum
moned and he advised them to send foi
Mr. Salmon. It was then found that
the latter had gone to Buffalo but a few
hours previously. The employment OF
an accountant was considered, but moth
ing will be done until some word is re
ceived from the ex.controller. His
bondsmen are in no way apprehensive
and believe the matter would be fount
to be clerical error.

AFTER THE ROYAL ARTHUR.

Big Ship.

The Monterey Gone to Watch England's
Big Ship.
SAN DIEGO, Cal, April l3.-The coast
defense vessel Monterey dparted from
here with more secrecy than is usually
the case when vessel leaves on leis
urely cruise. The fact that Lieutenant
Baker of General McCooks staff ar.
rived in haste from Denver and is be.
lieved to have embarked on the Mon.
terey adds to the mystery Of her des
tination.
A San Francisco special says: "The
Monterey is undoubtedly going to Cor.
into, Nicaragua, and not to Callao, .
said DIR. Hibbett, surgeon of the Ben
nington, now at Mare Island. mo
matter what the dispatches may say,
we in the navy feel sure that she is
going down the coast to meet the Royal
Arthur, the large English cruiser,
which is headed that way, to enforce
England's demand of indemnity from
Nicaragua. The Monterey is probably
sent to watch the big English ship,
The Royal Arthur is the best of her
class. At long range she would be nc
match for the Monterey, but she might
make it interesting for her at close
quarters. The Monterey could not be
handled as quickly as the Englishman,
and at short range might suffer from
torpedoes Out at sea, however, the
Royal Arthur would be no match fol
the Monterey"

Pittsburgers are determined to abolish the

operators will have no hold upon them through

would be the biggest coal fight on record in the
near future with the miners and the Massillon
operators on one side and the Pittsburp
operators on the other. 1t is possible the scene
of last summer may be reenacted.

Cleveland and Cabinet Members VIII
Campaign ON This Issue.
WASHINGTON, April 13.--It is now
certain that several members of the
administration will take prominent
part in the political campaigns over the
money question that will be carried on
in different states
The invitation of the Chicago bust
ness men to President Cleveland asking
him to make an address in that city on
the subject of the currency has been
followed by intimations from other
places to the effect that members of the
cabinet were wanted to make similar ad
dresses in order that the position of the
administration may be placed upon the
country In a most forcible way. The
president has not yet answered the Chi.
cago invitation, but if he finds it i'm,
possible to go, it is expected that he will
decline in letter expressing clearly his
views on the subject of money.

CHICAGO, April 13.-The properties Of
the whisky trust will be sold to the
highest bidder. Judge Showalter of
the United States circuit court, in an
order he has issued admits that the
trust no longer has legal existence,
Its board of directors were charged
with having deserted its trusteeship,
that it had no quorum, and an election
of new members of the board would not
enable them to reacquire the property
from the receiver.
The court directed that the receiver
sell the property, "and that the pro.
ceeds be distributed among those en-
titled thereto" The attorneys for the
Greenhut faction p the stock.
holders consented to action of the
court. The bill upon " h the order
was based was an application for re.
oeiver by three New York stockholders.
The three petitioners are represented
by their counsel to be men outside OF
the reorganization committee.
