strong opposition to the redistrlctlng

been greatly added TO by the dissatis-

The alarm of the goldbugs at the won

manifest every day. A bureau has been
established in New York by Wall street
magnates from which goldbug literature
is being scattered broadcast, supplements
to newspapers are being printed and sent
to small newspapers throughout the
country itn request that they be sent

orders from the same sources and instead
of reporting news impartially is be

favorable to silver and magnifying every
thing that has tendency to ait

these elements do not satisfy the Wal
street gentlemen. They appreciate tina

TERMS OF PEACE
An Agreement Said to Have Been
Reached Between the Con-
testing Env0ys
or THE ORIENTAL NATIONS
The Money Indemnity Reported to
Have B,en Reduced Con-
sideraDly.

WASHINGTON. April l2.--Otcial adj
vices received at the japanese legation
today from Japan indicate that an un-
derstanding has been reached between
the Japanese and Chinese plenipotentl-
aries and news of the definite conclusion
of peace may be expected at any time.
The exact terms of peace cannot be as
certained, but it is understood that in
response to repeated requests OF the Chi
nese plenlpotentiaries for the amend
ment of the demands originally made by
them the japanese lenipotentiaries
have granted some concessions. 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 is
known of the negotiations thus far the
general nature of the treaty is evident
1t was officially announced that the
terms being insisted on were as follows
l. The independence of Corea.
>. The permanent cession of the is
land of Formosa to Japan.
3. An indemnity of 30O,00O,0O0 taels in
Chinese money.
Arthur and the immediate surrounding
territory.
5. A new Japan China treaty opening
China to commerce.
Two conditions which have caused
trouble are the permanent occupation of
Port Arthur and the payment of 300.-
100000 taels. While no official informa-
tion is available and no statement what
ever regarding the terms of peace can
be obtained, it is probable that
it is only on these condi-
tions that the Japanese pleni-
potentiaries have yielded. Just
how much they have yielded on the oc-
cupation of Port Arthur may have vital
consequence. If they have yielded en-.
tirely, it removes Japan from all occu
pancy of the main land and from strate-
gic command of the gulf of Pechili lead.
ing to the Pekin. At ono time Japan
was willing to occupy Port Arthur for a
term of years, and this may be the
ground of the agreement, although it is
necessarily conjectural at present, The
purpose of the temporary occupation. it
is said, would be to prevent China from
rearming or retaliating against Japan for
term Of years at least, II the money
demand has been reduced little signi-
licance will attach to the fact. except
that it will tighten China's bnrden.
