THE TREATY.
A Synopsis of Its Provisions Shows That japa- nese Diplomacy Is Entitled to the Re-
 spect of the Caucasian,

Washington, May 9-An official dis patch from Tokio received at the Japa- nese legation this afternoon states that the notifications of the treaty of peaC between Japan and China were ex- changed at Chee Foo Wednesday. It is understood no change was made in the text of the treaty as originally con cluded, but according to the recommen- dations made by Russia, Germany and France the Japanese government has agreed to renounce the permanent pOs- session of the Liao Tong peninsula. on conditions, however, that the form and terms of the remuneration shall be re- served for adjustment between itself and the government of China. This lat ter stipulation Is construed to mean that Japan will not surrender the peninsula until suitable indemnity shall have been paid, and that it may even be agreed between Japan and China that the possession of Port Arthur itself will be retained for a term of years extend ing beyond the date when the indemnity shall have been paid in full, thus guar anteeing to Japan, not alone the pay ment of the indemnity itself, but suffi- cient time to safeguard herself against anything like a war of reprisal The treaty itself provides that Wei Hai Wei shall be held until the first 100000,0O0 taels and the next two annual install ments of the indemnity have been paid, so that with the added guarantee of the possession of Port Arthur, although only temporary, the Japanese govern ment appears to have taken every pos sible precaution for the future.

The Encampment Question.

The Alabama state troops military en- campment matter is all the talk among military men just now and very inter esting it is to them, too. It seems that officers of the various regiments are all in favor of regimentalscncampme for this year, while the company officers and the men want a brigade encampment. Letters are being received at the ad- jutant-generaIs office by baskets full every day, some of them wanting one thing and some another. It is said that a delegation of reglmental officers will call on Governor Oates as soon as he re- turns from Hot Springs and ask that regimental encampments be held. The governor, though, has already made up his mind to have the brigade encamp- ment and he is not a man to be easily influenced.

Seeking Farm Lands in ttowah.
 Gadsden May 9.-(Special.) )-Gadsden is making rapid strides to the front. The great Dwight mills are working several hundred hands on their mammoth build ings.
 The big furniture factory is turning out a fine class of oak furniture and working a full complement of hands.
 The Kyle lumber mills, the largest in north Alabama. are. up to their eyes in work.
 The Elliott Car company is working over 300 men, and will put on perhaps 200 additional men in two weeks, as they have large orders to fill of their excellent make of cars having a contract for some 300 cars now, and several roads are wanting them to take still further or ders.
 There is talk of the Pope works and furnaces starting, all of which shows activity here in industrial lines. There are two or more great enterprises on the tapis for Gadsden, and. if consummated, will advance the price of property here materially. These enterprises are al- most certain of consummation
 The holders of Gadsden Land and Im- provement company stock confidently expect to get g to $3 per share for their stock, which has sold at $1 per share.
 Keep your eye on Gadsden; she is out stripping any town in the state.
 A number of Dakota men were in town today looking for farm lands, and say this is the best place they have seen. Some western men have bought farms near here recently.

GORDON DISCHARGED.
JUDGE THOMPSON'S SIGNIFICANT WORDS
A Wild Scene folIows-Defendan Not Present Prosecution Thinks the Decision Is
 Not Warranted.

Louisville, Ky, May 9.--Judge Thomp- hours in the Gordon Brown murder case this afternoon, decided that Fulton Cor don should not be held for trial, and dis charged him from custody. Judge Thompson, after the closing argument, said:
 T have listened to the case carefully and have consulted the authorities. It is my deliberate judgment that this man Is not only not guilty in law, but his ac- tion will teach adulterers that when they ply their nefarious calling they are standing upon a precipice from which they are in danger of being dashed at any moment. The prisoner is dis charged"
 Then followed a wild scene. People jumped upon chairs, the bar and even on the steps of the judges bench and broke into cheers. Hundreds waved their hats in the air, and the attorneys for the defense almost had their hands wrung off by their enthusiastic multi tude of friends and admirers. Judge Thompson was unable to restrain the commotion, and court was declared ad- journed.
 The defendant was not present, having been excused by the prosecution. En- thusiastic friends jumped into a cab and rode to the residence of Dr. Gavin Full ton to convey the cheerful news.
 Gordon was overcome with emotion.
 Colonel Scott, for the prosecution, said after the trial that he did not know whether the case would be taken be- fore the grand jury, or whether he would have to consult with Governor Brown first. He said that he did not think the decision was warranted by the evidence

Cause the Mayor and President of the Board
 of Health
TO FURNISH SOME OFFICIAL STATEMENTS
Vicinity, One Within and the Other Outside the City-Both Isolated
 and No Fear Entertained.

Meridian, Miss, May i9.-(Spe J. In view of the unnecessary excitement and probable damage being done this city on account of wild rumors about smallpox the mayor and president of the board of health gave the following state ments to the press for publication to- night:
 Meridian, Miss, May g, 1S95.-Inas- much as no case of smallpox has de- veloped within or near the city within the past thirteen days, I think there is little probability of the development of other cases as all sources of infection have been removed from the city. At this time there is not a case of smallpox in the city of Meridian.
 IN. c. CLARK, M D.,
 President City Board of Health"
 Mayors Office, Meridian, Miss, May 9, 1895.-There have been only two cases of smallpox. One of these is outside the city, but very close to the boundary line. The other was inside the city, but was strictly guarded until removed to the city pest house. This case is now at the pest house out in the mountains, mile and half or more beyond the city limits, and under strict guard and isolation. The case outside the city has been, and Is now, constantly guarded and isolated under inspection of both city and county authorities
 "At present there is not a case inside the city limits, and the health authorities report the situation favorable. All nec- essary vigilance and precautions are be- ing observed B. H DIAL, Mayor"

unchanged in prices and fairly
strong. Lemons, which are in

TREASURY RED TAPE.
Works Against the Financial In
terests of Texas.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 16.-The banks
of st. Louis are suffering from de-
lays in making shipments of silver
to Texas points, owing to rule
promulgated about year ago by
the treasury department. Up to
the time the rule was put in force
it was the custom of the local
banks in sending coin to their
Texas correspondents to deposit
the amount desired for shipment
with the local sub-treasury, by
which it was shipped direct to
Texas correspondents, the govern
ment paying the express charges.
By order of the treasury depart
ment this privilege was withdrawn
so far as Texas is concerned.
In order to make shipments of
coin now, the local banks must
make their deposits as before with
the local sub-treasury. Certifi-
Gates of such deposit are then sent
by mail to the New Orleans sub
treasury and from there shipment
is made to Texas. This the local
bankers claim occasions delay of
at least thirty-six hours which
oftentimes causes great inconven-
fence. Bankers here which do con-
siderable business with Texas will
take up the matter through the
st. Louis congressman and endeav-
or to have the former order of
things restored so that shipments
of coin may be made direct from
the st Louis sub-treasury to their
Texas connections.

New York Republicans.

SARATOGA, n. ", Sept. &c.
The Republicans got to work very
early this morning. The talk of
displacing the present state officers
is pronounced, but it is believed
will prove only an incident, as it
is not believed enough strength
can be developed to defeat the re-
nomination of any candidates.
The fight seems to be directed
mainly against Comptroller Rob-
erts and Attorney General Han
cock. For the formers place John
F. Parkhurst, of Bath, is candi-
date. For the latter's Judge Cady,
of Columbia county, has some sup
port. Platt has expressed himself
in favor of renominating the pres
ent officers. On the excise ques-
ton the rural delegates seem to be
in favor of plank favoring even
stricter Sunday observance, while
the delegates from Erie, New York
and Kings county are in favor of
local option despite the fact that
the leaders have given out their
ultimatum of no plank on excise.
They are being urged by both
sides of the controversy to recon-
slider and take some action.

IMPRISONED AND sUFFocATED.
Life Slowly oozed Out of Their
Frames Through Days of In
tense Suffering.

NEW YORK, Sept. l6.-A special
to the Herald from Vancouver
says: Advices received by the Aus
tralian steamer Miowaera say that
the bodies of the victims of the FL
dora mine disaster have been re-
covered, after two weeks labor.
The men were working i'm McAver's
mine, when the banking made to
keep off the river gave way, filling
the mine with slum. They were
imprisoned and almost within
hearing of the rescuers, but were
starved to death. 1t took exactly
fourteen days to reach the dying
men and in that time all were be-
yond the aid of assistance. Evil
dence of the terrible suffering of
the poor fellows at the last mo-
ments were most heart rending.
Believing that they would eventu-
ally be reached by their wOuld-be
rescuers, but that it would be too
late, they evidently held an ante
norton council, for most of them
wrote letters to friends and rela-
tives from their living grave, and
there were evidences of solemn in
tercourse before death ended their
terrible suffering.
AR but one of the men were
found in naturally formed cham
Der, lying side by side quietly, as
if sleeping. They wore pitiful ex-
pressions and must have been
great sufferers before death lulled
them to sleep by the generated
gases. The letters left show they
had evidently been in consultation
together for twenty-four hours, by
their mournful expression. The
following is one of the letters, ver-
batim, of victim, written in PEN
Gil:
81 am getting faint, no air, God
protect me for the sake of my poor
children and wife. Lizzie, look af-
ter them and bring them up good.
The money | have in my box and
bank is to be divided among the
little ones. Make the best of what
/ have saved. God will be good to
them. Kiss them for fathers sake.
1 forgive my enemies. Love to all
that are dear to me. Good bye,
my dearest children.
(Signed) CHARLES DAwKINs."
The messages were written in
the dark and it took six hours to
decipher them.

Successful Fire Fighting.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 16.-A
blaze, unequalled in the fire an
nails of Shelby county, kept $50
men on the jump from yesterday
noon and is still burning. 1t Will
probably burn for several days to
come. At one time the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad bridge, leading
to the lumber companies along
Wolf rivers the plant of the Hard
wood Lumber company, and the
plants of adjoining concerns
seemed doomed to destruction, and
nothing but the most heroic work
saved them. The fire was discov-
cred Friday morning. All that
day and night, all Saturday and
night and until yesterday it smol-
dered, and shortly after the noon
hour it broke out in all its fury.
For a while it seemed as if the loss
would amount up in the hundreds
of thousands of dollars, but by
work, which was little short of the
marvellous, the actual damage was
kept down to about $1,000. 1t took
the efforts of about $50 men to ac-
complish the saving of the proper
ty. The fire was caused by spon-
taneous combustion and was con-
fined to the Hardwood Lumber
company's plant.

No Insurgents Wounded.

TAMPA, Fla, Sept. 16.-Private
advices from Cuba state that Col.
Jose Lacrete and Gen. Surez have
invaded Matanzas province. Near
Sagueu on the 9th detachment of
Spanish troops on train saw few
horses saddled on the hillside. The
train was stopped and fifteen men
sent after them. Five hundred
Cuban cavalry charged the Span
iards. The Spanish commander
ordered the entire force to the res
cue. The train left while the fight
was in progress. A convoy of so
wagons and 160 mules, under the
escort of 1,200, was attacked near
Parlopecado, Santiago province, by
Rabbi with 400 men, who were later
reinforced. Captain Castro, who
tried to dislodge the insurgents,
was killed. Lieutenant Toro and a
corporal and bugler were also
killed. Twenty-eight wounded, all
on the Spanish side.

British Sailors CLAIMS on Chile.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. TO-
The claims OF Andrew McKinsley
and the heirs of Patrick Shields
against Chile are again attracting
attention. The men were sailors
on the American ship Kewana,
and in 1891, while in Valparaiso
were brutality beaten by the Chill
can police. Shields afterwards
died from his injuries. The claim
for damage against Chile by the
United States were not allowed, it
being found the men were British
subjects. Lord Rosebery cham
pioned their cause, however, and
another tribunal composed of Ger
man, British and Chilean subjects
is now considering the claims.
The demurrer of the Chilean gov
eminent states that the police rec
ords of Valparaiso contain no men,
ton Of the beating of the sailors.
1t is alleged that the sailors had
that day drank a bottle of beer,
and that possibly their minds be-
came cloudy so that they imagin-
ed they had received injuries, when
in reality, they had not been hurt
at all.
