Echoes of Japan-ChIna War.

Shangbai II is announced at Pekin
that the japanese renounced their
claim to the Liao Tung peninsula
without demanding the payment of an
increased amount of indemnity for so
doing; it is added the conduct of Japan
in this matter is warmly praised. 1t
is feared that the disbanding of the
Chinese troops will cause disturb ances.
Berlin: A dispatch from St Peters
burg says that despite the pressure
eXerted by the powers Japan persists
in declining TO fix the date for the
evacuation of the Lioa Tung peninsula
and Corea.
Kobe: The report that Japan
avoided Russia S threatened ultimatum
by abandoning the Liao Tung penin-
sula has greatly excited and disap-
pointed the nation. The suspension
of newspapers hostile TO the govern
ment's action continues. The Japan
ese minister and the members of the
foreign legations are strictly guarded
TO prevent their being attacked by
fanatical natives.

understood Spain has sent "A note TO
Russia, France and Germany contend
ing that, as the Japanese did not hold

Trouble over Those Seal Again.

Washington: An ugly crisis has been
reached in the negotiations between
the United States and Great Britain
looking to the adoption of uniform
regulations for the government of the
seal fisheries this season. The British
government positively refuses TO re-
enact the regulations of last year. The
attitude of the British is viewed with
much dissatisfaction at the state de-
partment, where it is regarded as an
evidence of unwarrantable concession
to the Canadian pelagic sealers. 1t is
also held that the effect OF this action
is to practically nullify all measures
of protection for the seals that was
considered by the Paris arbitration,
and it would not be surprising if this
course is persisted in, that it resulted
in declaration by the United States
of the abrogation of the treaty.

California silver Men Kick.

The visit TO California of Gen. A. j.
Warner. of Ohio, head of the American
bimetallic party, and Congressman
Joseph C. Sibley, of Pennsylvania,
named by that organization for presi-
dent in 1896, has apparently been pro-
ductive of bad results to silver. The
effect is the fat secession of the Cali
fornia silver league from Gen. War
ner's national organization. The
trouble was caused by the attempt of
Gen. Warner and several congressman
enthusiastic for the RECOMMENDATION of
silver to make Sibley the presidential
candidate of the white metal party in
the next campaign.

Illinois are now in communication
with Senator Hill of New York, and
are urging him to declare in favor of

national Democratic convention and
that Mr.. Hill has the matter under ad-
visement and may write letter which
will be read at the Illinois state con-
vention to be held June 3, in which
case that body is expected to indorse
him for the presidency with a whoop.
VIM. II. Hinrichsen, the silver leader
of the Sucker state, is also TO be in
dorsed for the vice-presidentia nomi-
nation. 1t is claimed that Hill is only
waiting to get Tammany into line for
the coup de ctat, that Crisp is in the
scheme to swing the south into line
and Hinrichsen will bring the west.

U. S. Circuit Judge Goff's recent
South Carolina decision that the ballot

whether black or white has created n
great furore among the anti-Negro
residents of that state. Gov. Evans
has issued proclamation in which he
denounces Judge Golf as n disgrace to
the judicial ermine and declares that
the Palmetto state shall never come
under Negro domination, even if re-
course TO arms is necessary TO prevent
it, "The march of progress is about
to be stopped; the black pail of Negro
domination hovers over us; we must
meet the issue like South Carolinians.
There are only two flags, the white
and the black. Under which will you
enlist? The one, the white, peaceful
flag of Anglo-Saxon civilization and
progress, or the other. the black flag
of the debased and ignorant African
with the white traitors, who are seek

A MONARCHY IN HAWAII.
The Present Republic About to Give Up
Princess KaiulanI In Luck.

Julius A. Palmer, who went, to the
Hawaiian islands to investigate as
special correspondent OF the New
York Evening Post, returned to San
Francisco on the Australia. lie be-
lieves that there will soon be a crisis
there, and that the end can only be
the restoration of the monarchial form
of government lie says there never
will be harmony until the monarchy is
restored and Princess Kaiulani placed
upon the throne. The greatest fear of
the Hawaiian government is Japan
and they do not scruple to say so.
Another danger to the government is
in themselves. The democracy, or
American league, is taking unibrage
at the new importation of Chinese.
The financial condition is also one of
the things that will help TO bring on a
crisis. The loyalty of the natives to
monarchy was never as strong as now.
Col Ashford, former attorney-general
of Hawaii, who arrived on the same
steamer, expresses similar views.
A San Francisco paper prints a story,
which it claims is from unquestionable
authority, TO the effect that ex-U. :.
Minister Thurston advocates change
in administration, and that at 4 recent
conference between Mr.. Thurston and
President Dole and members of the
cabinet, the former declared that the
only hope of permanent peace on the
islands will be realized in placing
Princess Kaiulani in the position
which the former monarchy proposed
that she should some day have.

Low Water Causing Trouble to shippers

The low stage of water in the lakes
is being felt more and moro every day,
and it is cutting quite figure in the
lake freight market. Eastern shippers
who figured on having their ore pretty
closely covered by lake freight con-
tracts are in the market for tonnage
and are anxious to cover more ore for
the season FOR so cents. Owners who
have large blocks of ore to carry have
chartered quite few more boats re-
Gently in order to keep even. There
is a good demand for wild boats to
load at all the shipping ports, and ves-
selmen are hopeful of advancing the
rate from the head of Lake Superior.
If vesselmen are able to advance rates
while most of the fleet is going up
light it is quite a safe prediction that
rates will be advanced materially as
soon as the miners strike in Ohio and
Pennsylvania is settled and heavy
movement of coal is started.
