The EASTERN PEACE TREATY.
Japan May oes.py Port Arthur for Many
Years. hf


Years.
WASHINGTON, May 10-An official dis
patch from Toxic received at the Japan.
ESQ legation states that the ratiflcations
Of the treaty OF pence between Japan and
China were exchanged at Chifu on We'd
nesday. No change was made In the text
OF the trenty as originally concluded. TAX
ing into account the recommendation
made by Russia, Germany and France
the Japanese government agreed to re.
nounce permanent possession of the Laiu
Tong peninsula on condition that the ar.
rangements regarding the terms and form
Of renunciation shall be reserved for ad.
tustment between itself and the govern.
ment Of China.
This latter stipulation is construed to
mean that Japan will not surrender the
peninsula until suitable indemnity shall
have been paid, and that 1t may even be
agreed between Japan and China that the
possession of Port Arthur itself will be
retained by the Japanese for q term Of
years extending beyond the date when the
indemnity has been paid In full, thus as
suring to Japan not alone the payment Of
the indemnity itself, but also sufficient
time to safeguard herself against anything
like war Of reprisal
1t Will be remembered that the treaty Of
peace itself provides that Wei-HaiW Wal
shall be held until the first 1O0 0o0, 900
taels of the indemnity and the next two an.
nual installments have been paid, so that
with the added guarantee of the posses
sion of Port Arthur even although only
temporary, the Japanese government
would appear to have taken every possible
precaution for the future.
The foregoing statement is official, com.
ing direct from Toxic by cable. The un.
Outstanding is that 1t embodies the reply
which Japan recently gave to the protest
OF Russia and the allied powers.

A POPULAR VERDICT.
Remarkable Scene in a Louisville
Court Room.
GORDON RELEASED FROM CUSTODY

Judge Thompson Discharges the Slayer Of
His Wife and Her Paramour rs an Object
Lesson to AduIterers-The Verdict Re-
oeived with Thunders of Applause.
LOUISVILLE, May 10-The court was
crowded again when the case of Fulton
Gordon, charged with the murder Of his
wife and Archie Brown, was called Ar
gument was promptly begun by Prose
cutting Attorney Thurman, who endeav-
ored to show the court that Gordon's crime
was nothing less than deliberate murder.
Mr.. Thurman was followed by Attorney
Shield, who asked the dismissal Of the
prisoner on the grounds of justifable hom-
icide. Mr.. Scott, who represented Cover
nor Brown in the prosecution, then began
vigorous arraignment of Gordon, and
pictured In glowing colors the character
and qualities Of Archie Brown.
After arguments were completed and
the case closed Judge Thompson an
nounced that he could not hold the pris-
oner, and that he would discharge him as
an object lesson to other adulterers.
Never was crowd more demonstrative
In Its appreciation than was the immense
throng in the police court when Judge
Thompson announced In clear tone, the
verdict In the case. Cheer after cheer went
up and hand after hand was thrust out to
the judge to show how much his verdict
was appreciated. There was evidently not
q soul In the court, save the attorneys for
the prosecution, and perhaps some friends
OF the dead man, but was pleased with the
verdict.
When the judge had finished, and hardly
before the last word had fallen from his
lips, the cheering began, which continued
fully twenty minutes. The bailiff en-
deavored to restore order, but 1t was OF no
avail, and not until the vast throng had
departed from the room was order re-
stored, and even after reaching the streets
the cheering was kept up.
In explanation the judge said that there
was no evidence of guilt on Gordon's part,
but that the adulterer and adulteress stood
on the verge of an abyss Of ruin and death,
and their fate was only what could be ex-
pected. Thus ends the last chapter to
most sensational tragedy in the history of
