Toxic, Feb. 1S.-Per steamer City of
Pekn, via San Francisco, March s.
Inc japanese government has pub
LShed a series of documents exposing
the pretenSes of the Chinese peace en-
VoyS explaining the attitude and
action OF commissioners appointed to
receive them. 1t is reported that ON
the imperfect character of
the Chinese credentials, the Japanese
commission called a meeting at which
visitors We're informed that no nepofia-
ions could be permitted on THE moor
tain basis of their instructions. Commit
Ito, in an address to the Chinese en-
yoys, referred to numerous occasions
IN which China has re%pudiated the acts
of her diplomatic agents and state.
and that in consequence of these no.
torious violations of good faith
it is stipulated that no
embassy win be received
at Hiroshima unless provided with
complete authority to arrange terms of
peace. The Chinese government had
promised absolute compliance with
Japan demand and had given posi-
tive assurance that the ambassadors
had full powers. Notwithstanding this
pledge the imperial letter of instruc-
tions conferred no power whatever, ex-
ceTt that of reporting to TSung Lii
lamen what the two Japanese states
men might say. Under these circum-
stances it will be impossible to enter
into negotiations. But if China should
hereafter prove her sincere desire for
peace by deputing responsible officials
and investing them with genuine anu
thortty, the question might be opened
n way.
The Chinese party, Including Mr.
Foster, sailed from Nagaski for China
February 18th, by the French mail
steamer. 1T is anticipated that nego-
tiatiOns will soon be reopened in
earnest and this appears to be justi-
fled, first by the circumstances that
the American adviser continues in
China's service, and is STILL more
strengthened by the cruising defeat at
Wei-Hai-Wei.

Between the Prince and Princess.
San Francisco, March 3.-Private
advices from Paris say that new conn
plicatiOnS have entered into the quar-
rel between Prince and Princess Colon
na, which bid fair to prevent any conn
promise. Ut will be recalled that the
prince was given by the French
courts custody of the children, but the
princess, anticipating this decision, fled
to America with her children, bring
ing them to southern California and to
Monterey. The French judge, who
gave the decision in the princes favor
was angered at the princess action
and he imposed a fine of 300 francs a
day for every days delay in the res
t0ratiOn of the children. The eXecu-
ton of this decree has caused fresh
complications and a lawsuit. A bailiff
received orders to seize the horses
and carriages of the princess at her
Paris establishment. Their value is
at 10000 francs, (which
would only pay for a triie over two
months detention of the children. The
princess declares this seizure is il
legal and her counsel have been in
to bring suit to declare 1T in
valid.

disposed of by the decision, including
Edison's patent upon the i~ncandescent
lamp. regarding which there has been
so much litigation, and also his patent
on the socket for incandescent lamps,
recently held to be valid by Judge
Coke. The original case involves di-
rectly a very small SUN of money, and
the complainants would probably have
never thought it worth while to bring
the case to hearing had it not been
that the lawyers of the General Elec-
trio and Bell Telephone companies dis
covered the case directly involved the
point in which they were so vitality in
terested and would furnish the earli-
est opportunity OF bringing it before
the supreme court.
The question is deliberately argued
before the circuit court of appeals for
this circuit, but that court declined 10
take the responsibility of deciding the
question and certified it up to the
United States supreme court. This
court treated the case as one Of so
great Importance that it took the usual
course of assigning it for hearing some
three years in advance of the regular
order, and also allowing about double
the usual time for argument. Prob
ably there has been no case argued be
fore the supreme court since the war
in the outcome Of which so many law
yers were interested.
