From the Sth to the 10th of this

of March 2Sth. there were eighteen cases
of genuine cholera with ten deaths at the
naval station of Moji southern japan.
The disease had been imported from Chi
ma. Most active measures were enforced
by the authorities, and there have been
no new cases since the 18th. l think the
disease has been stamped out for the
present. We, however, look for new i'm
portations of cholera, typhus or even the
plague at any time, though especially
stringent regulations are in force with
the hope of controlling the epidemic dis
eases likely to be brought home by re-
turning troops and coolies. The Japanese
government has within the last three

Two American ladies were walking on
Legation street, in Pekin, when they were
assaulted by soldiers, while the native
guard posted on the street for police pro-
lection looked on and grinned. The Ia
dies garments were badly torn, but they
managed to free themselves and run into
the house of the Russian legation close
by. The soldiers who assaulted the ladies
were afterward caught and almost beaten

women. The Pekin authorities have al
lowed the two ladies assaulted to have a
guard of Russian soldiers accompany
them in their walks.

Tho Terms of Peace.

Washington, April 11.-An authoritative
statement of the terms of peace being ne
gotiated between Japan and China has
been secured from official sources. The
statement is made in order to clear up
much apprehension arising from specula-
ton The terms are as follows:
First-The independence of Corea-
Second-The permanent cession of the
island of Formosa to Japan.
Third-An indemnity of 5000 900 taeis,
a Chinese coin worth S1.33.
Fourth-The permanent occupation of
Port Arthur and the immediate contigu-
Gus territory.
Fifth-A new Japan China treaty open
ing the interior of China to commerce.
The money indemnity is expressed in
Chinese taels instead Of the japanese yen.
A tael is in reality a weight instead of a
coin. 1t is considered silver money. While
the face value of s1.33 would be equiva-
lent to 1899, 900 in silver, it is said the
actual value would be between $40, 000, 900
and 1920. 600 in gold.
The fifth term. as to the new treaty, in
cludes various trade features such as free
access of Chinese rivers. There is no
demand for territory on the mainland
outside of Port Arthur and its contiguous
surroundings.

HER RECORD CLEAR.
MISS FRANCES WILLARD ON LADY
HENRY SOMERSET.
Even Though There Arc Saloons On
the Estate, She is POwerless to
Gust the Occupants of Her Build
ings.

London, April 11.-Charges made by
Mr.. Hicks, of Chicago. recently that
Lady Henry Somerset rented consid-
cradle of her property here to liquor
dealers and that her tenements were
allowed to remain in a disgracefully
unhealthy condition, have caused
much Indignation among her friends.
Relative to the matter, Miss Frances
Willard says:
LAS soon as Lady Somerset had left
the United States statements concern
ing her saloons. her slums, her parks,
etc., were revived. In England none
of these criticisms would be received
for q moment. 1t is well known that
when she came into her property
most of it was under ninety-nine year
leases, with which she could no more
interfere than an outsider. A few
leases on the public lands on her es-
tates ran out, and in every instance
she declined to renew them. She is
Just now having a law suit with her
trustees, who claim that for her not
to renew the lease of the White Hall,
a famous hotel in the town of Riegate.
near London, where she lives, is a
public injury, and as trustees they
are in duty bound to prevent property
becoming less valuable. In her de-
Tense. Lady Henry Somerset asserts
the right of conscience and that she
is not required to do what she con-
siders to be wrong. even though the
property should suffer.
Lady Henry Somerset's record is
perfectly clear and the men who are
trying to injure her are undoubtedly
in the employ of the liquor traffic. As
for Mr.. Hicks, I never heard of him,
much less worked with him, as the
liquor papers say / did,"

ARMENIAN ATROCITIES.

Good Authority Puts the Slain mt
16,O00-Forty Villages Destroyed.
New York, April 1.-THE Philarmen-
ian association is distributing an illus
trated book entitled. The Armenian
Crisis in Turkey" dealing largely
with the massacre of 1894, its antece-
dents and its significance.
Frederick Davis Greene, the author,
was a missionary of the American
board in the center of Armenia.
Many of the atrocities described in
this letter are too horrible for publica-
ton.
"At Gagolnzan." says he. many
young men were tied hand and foot,
laid in a row, covered with brush and
burned alive. Others were hacked to
death by piecemeal.
THE men of one village, when flee
ing, took the. women and children,
some 500 in number, and placed them
in ravine. After several days the
soldiers found them and butchered
those who had not died of hunger.
Children were frequently held up
by the hair and cut in two or had
their jaws torn apart. Women with
child were ripped open. Other chill
dren were pulled apart by their legs.
Forty villages were totally destroyed
and it is probable that 5000 persons
at least were killed. The lowest esti-
mate is 10000 and many put it al
much higher"

TayIor-Evidence Against Both
Was Conclusive.

London, April 11.-Great crowds
were gathered in Bow street police
court today when Oscar Wilde and
Alfred Taylor were brought from
prison in the Black Maria to be ex-
amined on remand, on the charge Of
having committed serious misde-
meanor.
Wilde looked haggard and worn and
it was noticed he has greatly changed
since he appeared on the witness
stand to prosecute his suit for libel
against the Marquis of Queensbury.
the collapse of which action in such
an unexpected and sensational manner
led to his arrest and subsequent terri
BILE disclosures. Wilde today was more
subdued, although he smiled once or
twice at certain questions. Taylor be-
haved in the same sneeringly, indiffer-
ent manner as when arraigned last
week, and was evidently not as deeply
impressed with the seriousness of the
charges brought against him as Wilde.
Several witnesses were examined
and the evidence against both Wilde
and Taylor was so convincing that
they were remanded for week. bail
being refused.

MYSTERY IS SOLVED.
BICYCLE BANDIT Is A RESIDENT
OF SPOKANE.
Is n Graduate of the High School,
Ex-Deputy City Clerk, and a
Member of the Baptist Church
His Good Character.

Spokane, Wash. April 1.-THE mystery
surrounding the identity of the young
bandit arrested in California for the rob
berry of the station agent at Arroyo Gran
de, when 1921 in money was taken. was
solved in part by the arrival here today
of California papers. A picture of the
unknown youth. letters found in his pos
session and other circumstances show
that he is Charles Clayton Bump, of Spo-
kane, one of the best known young men
of this city, a youth against whom a
breath of suspicion was never uttered.
The discovery has created an intense SEN
sation here, and his mother is Frustrated.
Bump is a graduate of the high school,;
served for a time as deputy city clerk;
was a member of the Baptist church; an
ardent sportsman and a swift bicycle rid
er. He belongs to- one of the leading fam
lilies of Spokane. He gave the name of
Harry Bishop to tho California authori-
ties. Friends and relatives here believe
there is some mistake. and do not believe
that he is guilty. They think that he fell
among evil companions, and in a moment
of weakness accepted some of the spoils
of the robbery.

Washington. April 1.-THE unmis-
taxable threat against Japan held by
Russia in the short notice in its semi
official organ. the Nova Vremya, has
caused much surprise in diplomatic cir
cles here. 1t was supposed that Russia
had a good understanding with Japan
as to the terms of the peace; that there
was an entire agreement upon the
propositions touching Corean indie
pendence. the acquisition by Japan of
Formosa and Port Arthur and the ex-
action of an indemnity. AS to Great
Britain. it has all along been under
stood that she was the one power that
was disposed to resist aggressions. and
they were prevented from actual in
reference through inability to secure
the cooperation of Russia in such a
movement.
