Tho Rntification q Secret.

London, May 5.-The Times core spondent in PeIin says: The fact that inc emperor ratified the treaty Is known to only a few persons. No edict has been issued. Prince kung urged the ratih- cation. Many Chinese would nave pre- ferred that the Japanese reach Pekln, as the government would then have been compelled to initiate reforms. Now there is small chance of any change for the better.
 The Times correspondent in Hong Kong confirms the reports Of dlstufp- ances in Formosa. The governor says the cession of the island to Japan would produce a rebellion. He has lost control of the soldiers and the foreigners must take measures to insure their own safety. H. M. s. Spartan Is preparing to land force of blue jackets at Tamsui.

 Count Ito May Be Sacrificed.
 The Standards Berlin correspondent says: Although Japan,s first reply to the joint protest was unsatisfactory, the present state of negotiations promises an amicable agreement. The details are. secret. but it seems. that Russia will be satisfied if she gets large slice of south east Manchuria, containing one or more ice-free harbors while Japan will be con tent if she gets an island or more. besides an increased indemnity. Should the Ja- pan war party persist In not altering the treaty Premier Count Ito probably will be sacrificed. The powers certainly will insure China's giving Japan an ample guarantee for the indemnity granted in lieu of territory

NEW YORK TRIBUNE SURPRISES ITS
READERS.

Chronicled Facts OF Increasing Business
Instead Of widespread Ruin--Headed It
"Good News"-If Wages Are Rising, Pro.
lection Is Wrong.
Great searohings of heart prevailed
among the rural readers of the New
York Tribune when their eyes fell upon
paragraph eutitled Good News from
New Brunswick, n. j." Having in
mind Senator Lexow's declaration that
the cause Of protection is lost unless evil
dences of widespread ruin are at once
produced and his demand that Repub-
lican journals should Immediately send
their reporters out through the manu-
featuring communities in order to bring
back accounts of the ravages of the pres,
ent tariff they will naturally expect
under the heading "Good News" some
consolatory tales of smokeless chimneys,
silent forges, reductions of wages, strikes
and other manifestations of distress and
despair.
Instead Of this they will be perplexed
to learn that a large iron concern in
| New Brunswick has increased'the wa
ges Of its workmen 10 per cent that a
rubber company has given orders to refit
a mill that was closed several years ago,
and which will give employment to
about 1 900 men; that two wall paper
factories, instead of shutting down for
two months, as has been their custom,
have kept running through July and
will suspend only through August, and
that great hosiery company is running
full time and with every department
full handed. Worse than all, this ho-
siery company reports that it has never
been so busy in it's history, while the
prospects for continuance of trade are
excellent For one morning S news from
one community this is terrible accu.
mutation Of unpleasant facts.
The editorial position of The Tribune
as regards prosperity is that it prevails
only in particular industries. The evil
disposed Democrats were baked in theil
attempts to create universal ruin and
only succeeded in damaging things in
spots. Where the tariff remained pro
|
able to struggle along, but where pro
lection was reduced nothing but ruiz
followed.
This is very safe position to take 81
long as it is possible to stick closely t
generalities and avoid all particulariza
tion Of industries. But the impruden
} Mr.. Lexow has made this course i'm
practicable. He says that if wages are
really rising the Republicans are al
wrong and have been wrong all th
time, and that the production of tangi
BILE and specific cases Of starvation ant
misery is indispensable. The Tribune
owes it to its loyal readers to furnisl
them with list of industries now Ian
gushing under the influence Of the tar
if, and the sooner it sets about the worl
!, the easier it is likely to be. There ar
some hopeful signs of a strike among
