Tho conditions upon which Japan
will consent to end tho war wero stated
in explicit forms by tho Mikado's minis.
tors.
Aftor some discussion Ii Hung Chang
asked for three days delay In order
that no might consult tho authorities
in Pckin upon certain points.
Tho Japanese ministers, who havo
entered unon tho negotiations with m

conclusion, granted tho request

Tho place OF meeting OF these peace
ambassadors recalls an international
incident OF n generation ago. known rs
tho Shimonoscki affair.
Tho Prince OF Chosu, Il somi.indepen.
dent ruler, attempted to close the struts
leading to tho inland sea. lIe planted
f. battery on little sandy spiIo, aud in
Juno and July. 1868, fired upon two
American ships, Fronch ship and a
Dutch ship, killing several men.
Failing to obtain satisfaction from the
Shoguns government the representa-.
tivCs OF the three countries concerned,
together with tho British representa-.
tives, who deemed 1t essential for all
the Western powers 10 make common

The town WAS shelled two days, Sep.
tcmber s and 6, 1868. Not content with
this net OF retaliation tho foreign gov
crnmen,s whose ships had been fired
on demanded an indemnity OF $1,000.
900, the last instalment Of which was
paid by the Mikado's Government in
1875.
A resident OF Japan writing upon tho
subiec. OF two decades afterwards, com.
mentcd thus:
no incident in the dealings OF tho
West with Japan met with 80 much I'D.
verse criticism as this Shimonoscki af.
fair. Several years later tho United
States Government, conscience strick.

at least it repaid the principal. but not
the interest. The other recipients have
not shown this modicum Of generosity"
Tho Japanese force which undertook
to land on the Fisher Islands was re-
pulsed with slight loss
A cable dispatch from Pekin states

quest is being addressed to the Europe

opposed to the efforts OF tho United

Important Decision.

Eta B. Sanborn, executrix of the las
will and testament Of Emery A. Sanborn
late of Hallowell deceased, filed petition
In probate court in this county, praying
for an order of distribution to distribute
Sl1, 10l, money collected on three policies
of life insurance on the life of said deceased
The will was silent as to the disposition
of the funds derived from that source
The deceased was survived by bis wife anu
one daughter. In the first policy the com.
pany promised to pay unto his emery
A. Sanborn's) executors, administrator:
and assigns, $4,000, upon satisfactory
proof of the death of the said Emery A.
Sanborn.'
The second policy, with its accumula-
tions amounting to s5l01, was also made
payable to "his executors, administrators
or assigns" The third policy, for $1,000,
was made payable "to the estate Of Emery
A. Sanborn
Question, can the funds derived from
these policies of insurance he treated as a
part of the testator's personal estate and
go to meets debts and expenses and the
calls of the will?
The court held that as the funds derived
from all three polices of insurance were
not disposed of by will, aud that widow
and daughter were living, it came within
the provisions Of chapter rs, section 10 Of
the Revised Statutes, and that one third
should go to the widow, Eta B. Sanborn
of Hallowell, and two thirds to Mary S.
Norcross of Augusta, first deducting from
the same the amount of the premiums
paid on said policies within three years
prior to the death of said Emery A. San
born with interest on said premiums at
per cent. per annum from the payment cf
the same to the death of said deceased
The latter sum- the several premium S
only with the interest is to be treated as Il
part Of the testator's personal estate and
may be used to pay debts and expenses, or
taken to meet the requirements of the
will. NJ. S. Holway, Esq, appeared as
attorney for the petitioners
This decision is believed to be in accord
ance with q recent decision of the supreme
court in the Chandler case, which has not
yet been published.
