ORIENTAL AFFAIRS,
DEFINITE UNDERSTANDING HAS
BEEN REACHED.
Occupation of Port Arthur and the
Indemnity Makes the
Trouble.

Washington, April 13.-Oficial ad-
vices received at the Japanese lega-
ton from Japan indicate that an UNI
Outstanding has been reached between
the Japanese and Chinese plenipoten-
tiaries, and that the news OF the detln-
lite conclusion of peace may be expect
ed at any time.
The exact terms Of peace cannot as
vet be ascertalned but it is under
stood that, IN response to the repeated
requests of the Chinese plenipoten-
tiaries for an abatement of the de-
mands originally made by them, the
japanese plenipotentiaries have grant
ed some concessions.
Brief as the foregoing official mes
sage is, it marks the close of the
Japan-Chinese war barring the posi-
bility Of course of some unexpected
hitch at the last moment. The au-
nouncement of the exact terms of
peace is vet to come, but from what Is
known Of the negotiations thus far,
the general nature of the peace is evil
dent. 1t was officially announced that
the terms being insisted upon were as
follows:
neutrality-suspicious. of Corea.
Second-Permanent cession OF the
island of Formosa to Japan.
Thid-Indemnity Of 3OO,OoO,OOO
taels, Chinese money.
Fourth-Permanent occupation or
Port Arthur and the immediate sur
rounding territory.
Fifth-A new Japan-China treaty
opening China to commerce.
The two terms which have caused
trouble of hate are the permanent &C.
cupation of Port Arthur and the pay
ment Of 800, 100000 taels about S3i5,-
600 900. While no official information
Is available and no statement what
ever regarding the terms Of peace can
be obtained, it is probable that 1t Is
on these conditions the japanese plen-
ipotentiaries have yielded Just how
much they have yielded on the occnpa-
tions Of Port Arthur may have vital
consequences. If they have yielded II

In a sermon at Scott Church Sunday
evening the Rev. Robert Watt, d. D.,
declared that America is nation of
swearers and Wilmington city of
swearers. America, he said, contains
the most irreverent people on the face
of the earth. Every hour that he is on
the street he hears the most terrible
oaths, many of them from young boys
Many of the men who wear blue coats
and brass buttons are the worst
swearers. He had heard mote oaths in
the city court room the short time he
was there than he had heard for some
time. If he were on jury he would
hesitate to take the oath of an hahitual
swearer. A Christian should not re-
main in the presence of a man who
swears. Wilmington is beautiful city
