Washington, May 9.--An official dispatch
from Toxic to the japanese legation
states that the ratihcations Of the treaty
Of peace between Japan and China were
exchanged at Chez Foo on Wednesday.
No change was made In the text Of the
treaty as originally concluded. Taking
into account, however, the recommends
ton made by Russia, Germany and
France, the Japanese government has
agreed to the announcement of the per-
manent possession of the Lalo Tung pe-
ninsula on condition that the arrange
ments regarding the terms and form of
the renunciation shall be reserved for
adjustment between itself and the gov
ernment OF China. This latter stipulation
is construed to mean that Japan aVill not
surrender the peninsula until a suitable
indemnity shall have been paid and tha
1t may have been agreed between japan
and China that the possession of Port Ar.
thur would be retained by the Japanese
for a term Of years leading beyond the
date when the indemnity has been paid
in full, thus assuring to Japan not alone
the payment Of the indemnity itself but
sufficient time to safeguard herself
against anything like war of reprisal,
1t win be remembered that the treaty Of
peace provides that Wei Hal Wei shall
be held until the first one hundred mill
lion of the indemnity and the next two
annual installments have been paid, so
that with the added guarantee OF the
possession Of Port Arthur even although
only temporary, the Japanese govern
ment would appear to have taken every
possible precaution for the future,

Some time during Wednesday night, or
early yesterday morning, the residence
OF VIM. Douglass, keeper Of the United

silver in Mr., Douglass pocket is all that
was missed. Nothing in the house was

lcA GOOD SUGGESTION.
Editor Astorian:-

Editor Astorian:-- ts
Permit me to suggest the advlsability
Of oganizing one or more military COM
panies in Astoria. This is the second
largest city in the state and in view of
the probable large influx of foaters as
well as prospectors during the building
Of the railroad 1t may be the part Of
prudence to train an effective militia.
The athletic club is composed Of as
fine material as could be found anywhere
and military drill one night in the
week would prove advantageous as well
as refreshing diversion; besides, 1t
would be good plan to have a prize
drill during the regatta. would suggest
that the gentlemen composing the athletic
club consider this matter and form two
Companies, one Of the senior, and another
Of the Junior members of the club. In,
time of peace prepare for war. etc.

San Francisco, May 9.-An Gvening pa
per publishes a statement made by Theo-
dore Durrant to a friend, in which he
said that he would make the greatest
legal battle in the history OF the state,
and predicting that he would soon be
free man. In addition TO the three at

retained the well-known criminal lawyer
Geo. A. Knight
There are good many things against
me-" Durrant is quoted as saying, but
fear Harry Partridge, who testified
that he had answered the roll call for
me on April 8, more than any other wit
ness. If Partridge persists in his state
ment he will hang me, but my attorneys
will see him and perhaps he will change
his mind"

Durrant's fear OF Partridge. whose tes-
timony is eorroborated. Durrant denies
that he offered the ring to openheimer

fined to q single transaction. The sole
offense alleged is that Thurston at the
Hawaiian legation showed to a corres-
pondent private letters to himself from
Honolulu. The particular letter is said
to have criticised Cleveland and Gresham
for their attitude towards the January
uprising. Gresham spoke to Thurston
about the matter Thurston apologized
but declined to accede to Gresham's re-
quest that the apology be in writing.
Frank Hastings, now in charge of the
Hawaiian legation, will probably be
promoted to minister. A cabinet officer
states that no retaliatory measures win
be attempted so far as Minister Willis
is concerned.
The letter which Hawaiian Minister
Thurston gave to the press and to the
publication of which Secretary Gresham
took exceptions, contained the follow
ing:
There is intense feeling being mani
tested by the people at what is looked
upon as Mr.. Willis unwarranted inter-
ference in connection with the present
trials He is doing everything that he
can to protect the royalists and harass
the government. An analysis of the
growth Of feeling and the facts leading
to the insurrection showed that 1t is
based almost wholly on the encourage
ment given to the royalists by President
Cleveland and his announced and con-
stantly reiterated opinion that the queen
oulxht to be restored, and the feeling
which, rightly or wrongly, was dissemi-
mated throughout the royalist sympa-
thizers that upon the slightest. opportu-
nifty Cleveland would take occasion to
assist the royalists If they could get con-
troll to sufficient extent to give him an
excuse for so doing"

Up to 2:3O, 2S ballots had been taken
without a change. Only 30 minutes re-
main before the general assembly ad-
journs sine die, and there is now little
hope of the deadlock being broken. The
action of Governor Watson in taking
his place in the senate this afternoon for
the first time since the death of Governor
Marvel, which elevated him to the gov
ernorship, was great disappointment to
the Republicans, who felt sure that upon
reconvening In joint session they would
elect Henry A. Dupont.
At the conclusion OF the 2l1th ballot Sen
ator Aldrich read paper protesting
against further balloting, claiming that
Henry A. Dupont had been legally elect
ed. Governor Watson refused to enter
tain the motion or allow the protest to go
on the records of the joint session claim
ing it to be out of order. During the
parliamentary skirmish the state house
clock struck 3. The governor declared
the general assembly dissolved. Speaker
McMullin then declared as speaker of
the house, Henry A., Dupont elected
senator from Delaware The speakers
declaration was received with derisive
shouts by the Democrats. This move
ment was pre-arranged by the Republi-
cans for the purpose of giving Dupont
a basis for contest before the United
States supreme court.
The Delaware legislature is composed of
H representatives and senators, six
teen being q majority on joint ballot.
The Republicans claim that when Wat
son, by virtue Of his position as speaker
of the senate, succeeded to the governor
ship upon the death of Governor Marvin,
one month ago, the number of senator's
was reduced to eight, and therefore there
were only 20 on joint ballot and 10 votes
constituted a majority.
On the other hand the Democrats and
Governor Watson claim that the law de-
clares that the speaker of the senate
shall become governor. Therefore IL Mr..
Watson withdraws from the senate he
ceases to be speaker of the senate, and
loses the governorship. The
senatorial question is likely to occupy a
large amount Of public attention for
months to come. Whether the governor
has the right to appoint is a disputed
question. If he has, the appointment
will be only until the next legislature
meets in January, 1895, unless sooner
called together by the governor. This
latter contingency is not probable, how
