THERE IS A HITCH
In the Consummation of the Peace Treaty Be- tween China and Japan-Prince Ko-
 matsu Goes to the Front

Washington, April 15-Neither the Chi nese nor the Japanese legation has re- ceived from Simonoseki any confirmation of Japan's twenty-four hours ultimatum nor has any further news bearing upon the peace negotiations come to hand. War news received by way of Shanghai has proved almost uniformly untrustwor- thy. It is not believed that satisfactory conclusion will be reached before the 20th instant, when the armistlce expires. Chi mas reported delay in agreeing to the conditions of peace seems the more ineX- plicable in view of the fact that at the re- quest of the Chinese envoy the Japanese government materially modified some of its propositions. Just what these modi- flcations were Is still state secret. That they, as well as the conditions as whole, were satisfactory to u Hung Chang is not doubted. while 1t is equally true from official reports that Lii Hung Chang se- cured better terms than would have been given to him but for the assault made by the assassin, Koyama.
 The best explanation of the delay is that the Pekin foreign office is postpon- ing its approval of the terms of peace agreed upon by Lii Hung Chang until the last moment, in the hope that something may occur in the interim to China's ad- vantage.

CENTRAL LITIGATION.
Judge Tompkins Files Cross Bill to Secure
 Decree of Foreclosure.

Savannah, Ga. April 15.--The Central Trust company of New York, through Judge Henry B. Tompkins as attorney. has filed cross billi the United States court here to secure a decree of fore closure against the Central Railroad and Banking company. Under the consoli- dated mortgage of LOGO, 900, for which the Central Trust company is trustee, these bonds for $5000O00 originally in- tended to redeem the tripartite bonds, are with the Central Trust company and $S,000, ,000 are deposited as security for the floating debt. The bill alleges defaults on the interest amounting to $1,200 900.
 The object of securing this decree of foreclosure is said to be to bring about a sale of the property for the purpose of re- organization on account of the fact that the decree of foreclosure on. the tripartite mortgage is now hung up in the supreme court of the United States on an appeal by the Southwestern Railroad company.

IN FLORIDA, TOO,
There Wl Be Trouble Over the Three Quarters
 Clause.


 Clause.
 Jacksonville, Fla, April 15.-The in surance men of Florida are greatly alarmed over Senator Broome's valued policy bill, which will come up in the senate at Tallahassee Wednesday. Sem ator Hartridge of Duval has written a letter to a friend here saying that the bill is likely to pass. The amendment is intended to abolish the three-quarter clause in the insurance policies and com pei the companies to pay the full amount of the risk. f
 ''If the bill should become law" said MT. J. H. Norton prominent fire in-s surance agent, today, it is more than likely that all the fire insurance compa- nies doing business in Florida will can eel their policies and quit the state, leav- ing our people without insurance.
 The freeze has already shattered the credit of the country merchants, and if solid insurance protection is withdrawn it will be like knocking out the last prop, and we may look for gen eral disaster. Those also having mort gages on their real estate will suffer, as it is more than likely should the insur- ance collateral be withdrawn that the mortgagers will clamor for their money.
 "The insurance companies are quite uneasy about the condition of Florida since the freeze, and losses have been unusually numerous from all parts of the state. Therefore if this bill, whichof- fers premium on arson and dishonesty, should become a law there is no doubt that the fire insurance companies would promptly cancel and quit the state.".

He de- manded all the money there was in the house, and when told there was none went and tried another door. Mrs. All exander screamed and the robber jumped back at her and demanded the keys to the door, which he found locked. She refused him, and seizing her by the col lar he pulled out knife and made two thrusts at her The first thrust struck the steel in her corset and the second a whalebone in the waist of her dress. He then threw her aside and she fell on the bed.
 The robber evidently thought he had killed her, and, going into the next room made nasty search through trunk for money. MT. Alexander and MT. and Mrs. Purdin returned home two hours and half later and found Mrs Alexan- der in an unconscious condition. It was fully an hour before they could bring her to, to tell her story.

The Ohicago Grain Pit.

Chicago, April 15.--An advance of 2 cents from Saturdays close was the record of wheat today Not all of the gain was sustained, but sufficient of it remained at the close to substantiate the claims of the bulls that the market had an upward trend. Shorts" were mys- tified and exercised over the advance, but much of it was due to their own action and to the nervous fears of per manent rise. No very clear explanation of the revulsion in feeling was given, but confidence in the merits of wheat was visible on all sides Elevator pro prietors were the prominent buyers at the start, Armour appearing openly in that respect. Following this came the large commission houses and the shorts" who found much difficulty in executing purchasing orders, owing to the persistency of orders
 The phenomenal advance in oil was ar- gued as representing an awakening of speculation, which, it was believed, must extend to grain.
 Silver, too, was up and there were nu- merous advocates of higher prices on that fact alone. From noon until the close there was quieter market, the re- cession from the outside taking place during that period. The spread between May and July showed some narrowing today.

That the action of the Alabama Com mercial association and the Grand Army of the Republic, department of Alabama in the appointment of committee to re- port upon the agricultural, timber and other resources of the state. to be distrib- uted throughout the country to the Grand Army of the Republic was we'll timed no one will deny and it is already attracting much attention throughout the north and west. A representative of the Age Herald was shown last night by MT. James F. Slater of this city a letter he had just received from an Indiana member of the Grand Army Of the Re- public the writer stating that they "already have over 300 families in sight desiring to, as a colony, purchase and locate upon 15,000 or more acres of good prairie or other open land having good water and. not too level.
 Another letter, from an extensive old established Iowa colonizing agency, writ ten to MT. Slater, says: We have in the last twenty years sold over 800, 900 acres of land for the Union Pacific Rail- road company, besides larger quantity for others, but are not effecting any sales nowadays If there can be had in your state desirable bodies of 5000 acres or upwards of naturally good prairie or hardwood soil lands, at very low figures and fairly located, in healthy sections we can place large quantity to buyers from Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Nebraska. That is provided the railroads will give low rates on the inn migrants and also upon their household goods and whatever wagons. stock, etc, they take with them"
