WASHINGTON. May 9.-An official dis
patch from Toxic received at the jap
anese Legation to-day states that the
publications. ofthe treaty of peace between
Japan and China were exchanged at Che
Foo on Wednesday. No change was
made in the text of the treaty as origin
ally concluded. Taking into account,
however, the recommendations made by
Russia, Germany and France, the Jap
anese Government has agreed to the re-
nouncement Of the permanent possession
Of the Liao Tung peninsula, on condition
that the arrangement regarding the terms
and form OF remuneration shall be re-
served for adjustment between itself and
the Government of China. This latter
stipulation is construed to mean that
Japan will not surrender the peninsula
until suitable indemnity shall have
been paid, and that it may have been
agreed been Japan and China that the
possession OF Port Arthur itself would
be retained by the Japanese for term OF
years, leading beyond the date when the
indemnity has been paid in full, thus as
suring To Japan not alone the payment OF
the indemnity itself, but sufficient time
to safeguard herself against anything
like war of reprlsal. Ii will be remem-
bered that the treaty Of peace itself pro-
vides that Wei Hal Wei shall be held un-
til the first 100000, 600 of the indemnity
ana the next two annual installments
have been paid, SO that with the added
guarantee OF the possession OF Port Ar
thur. even although only temporary, the
Japanese Government would appear to
have taken every possible precaution for
the future.
The foregoing statement is official.
coming direct from Toxic by cable. The
understanding is that it embodies the re-
ply which Japan recently gave To the
protest OF Russia and the allied powers.

Jose Ramon Arguello. dissipated man

former wife nine years ago. He has a
daughter at Los Angeles who is as old as
the girl he eloped with. Arguello has no
occupation, and was known as lounger
around saloons. Miss Moore is the only
daughter OF e. e. Moore, the City Engi-
neer Of Santa Clara. Her parents knew
that the girl was infatuated with Ar
guello. and did all they could to prevent
the marriage. Miss Moore went out this
morning to do some shopping, and did
not return, and it was learned that the
couple went to Sau Jose and procured a
marriage license and were married. The
girl is a member of the Episcopal
