WASHINGTON, April 9.Japanese
mail advices up to March 10th show
that in the native press the peace mis-
sion OF Ii Hung Chang occupies a
leading place. as they attach much
Importance to the present embassy.
The papers state their idea on the
terms of peace more definitely than
heretofore. While some OF the jour.
mails are moderate in thca demand,
others declare in unequivocal terms
that peace is an impossibility until
the flag OF the rising sun floats over
Pekin. Mainichi, in a rather phil
anthropic manner, advocates the an
nexation of part OF continental China,
not merely for the two usually adj
vanced reasons-to secure the indie
pendence OF Corea and the maintain
anc OF peace-but for two others,
tn the
principles OF humanity to suffer the
Chinese in the newly occupied dis
tricts to fall again under the barbar-
GUS rule OF China and would be re.
gretable in the interests of the Chi
nese in general after the war IL they
did not have enlightened Chinese near
by to instruct them in the arts and
sciences of civilization.
An excellent scheme for the annihi.
lation Of the Japanese submitted by a
sage of high repute, is produced from
u Chinese newspaper. The scheme
was originated in answer to n procla-
nation OF the Governor of Marking
who ordered all those under his Jur-
isdiction to devise. some scheme for the
Destruction of all the Japanese. Tho
scheme is this: Every soldier should
be armed with a sword, abamboop pole
and a bucket OF water. The pole
and bucket should be carried in the
left hand, while the sword is grasped
with the right. On charging down
upon the enemy the buckets should
be hurled at the opposing ranks, 30 as
to wet their powder and render their
guns useless, The bamboo poles
should then be thrust between the
legs of the enemy and twisted, which
would cause the Japanese to topple
over in confusion. After that it would
be an easy matter to finish off the
dripping and rostrated foes with the
swords. The Governor drove the
sage from his presence in a fit OF ex-
treme rage.
Evidently the stoutest resistance
the japanese cxpeditionary army, MS
it advances on Pekin, will meet. says
one OF the Japanese papers, will be by
the Mohemmadam soldiers OF China.
This was indicated in the conduct of
General Tsao at the battle OF Phyong
Yang. He acquitted himself us n true
General should, while Yei and the
other Chinese Generals disgraced
themselves by pusilamity.

terday aud the Jury last evening, after
being out about one hour, agreed upon
verdict for the plaintiff aud fixed the

Athe Police Commissioners to remove
Capt. Velines from the police force
previous to the appointment of his sue.
cessor, and i'll the absence OF any
charge OF dereichon OF duty, bad char
meter or violation of regulations.
1t will be remembered that mt the
instance of the Commissioners, Capt.
\ Vellines was arrested without warrant,
carried to the police station in tho
patrol wagon and locked up in cell;
that he was released by tho Corporation
Judge; that he was later carried before
Justice Burroughs on Warrant charg-
ing INN with violating the city ordi.
nance in appearing upon tho streets OF
4 Norfolk In the uniform of police
captain; that the Justice decided ho
was properly and legally clothed. Capt.
+ Vellines then brought suit, placing his
damages for false imprisonment at
$40, 900.
He employed as counsel Mr.. Jamep
F. Duncan ana Mehsrs. Nicely, Seldner
d Warrington. The Commissioners en-.
gagged as attorneys Judge w. Ii. Eur.
ronghs, Mr.. Il. w. Shelton and Mr.. s.
w. Small.
At the opening OF tie conrt yester

Mr.. j. L. Duncan opened tor The plain
tiff and WAS followed hy Mcssrs. Shell
ton, Small and Judge Burroughs III the
for the plaintiff. The casa was given
to the jury about O'Clock, who re.
tired to their room and after remaining
ont hbout al honr returned 10 the
courtroom, with Mr.. Lowenberg AS
foreman, and stated ihut they had

by some persons that there would be n
Z hung jury. but IKE NIRGINIAN learned
that all oil the men were Ill favor OF n
verdict for the plaintiff. The lowest
fixed the damages ct $500, the highest
at 81, 500.
The case will likely go to higher
