WILL AWAIT RATIFICATION.
Conferences of the Peace Envoys Over
for the Present.

Conferences of the Peace Enjoys Over
for the Present.
TOXIC, Japan, April 16-The newspapers
here announce that at the conference be-
tween the peace commissioners yesterday
Viceroy Ii Hung Chang submitted China's
reply to the propositions of Japan. where
upon an agreement on the subject was
reached. 1t is added that the conference of
the peace commissioners will not meet
again until the ratifications of the treaty of
peace are exchanged.
LONDON. April 16.-The Japanese minis
ter here, in an interview today, said that
he had not received information that peace
had been concluded on the terms stated in
the dispatch TO the London Times from
Shanghai.
The Japanese minister adds that the
Times dispatch omfts several particulars
which he knew Japan had advanced, nota-
bly, the favored nation treatment and other
commercial concessions. He also said that
the amount of indemnity mentioned was
very small, but he believed that the clauses
referring to the independence of Corea and
the cession of the Island of Formosa were
correct. Clauses two and three, regarding
retention of territory captured, the minister
remarked. were difficult to understand,
while an offensive and defensive alliance
between China and Japan, referred to in
the sixth clause, was, in his opinion, scarce
ly reconcilable with the present require
mentS of Japan.

CELEBRATING AT Los ANGELES.

The Whole City and It's Guests Devote
the Time to Pleasure.
The opening of the second annual cele-
bration of La Fiesta de Los Angeles took
place at Los Angeles, Cal, yesterday. The
hotels, public houses and many private
residences are filled to overflowing with
people, who are gathered here from all
parts of the country. 1t is believed there
are $4,000 visitors.
The entire city is given up to this re-
view. No business will be done except that
pertaining to the festival and that abso-
lutely necessary. and the whole population
Of the city will devote the week of the
carnival to the enjoyment Of the splendid
pleasures prepared and the entertainment
of the city's thousands of guests. novel
feature of the fiesta is the lavish street
decorations. Merchants and property own
ers along the line of march and on all the
principal streets have buried their build
iEgs beneath masses of palm leaves, pine
boughs, flowers and buntings. Flags are
flying from every post and are draped on
every pillar. The city is a sea of color, In
which the colors of la fiesta, yellow for
the orange. the green for the olive and the
red for the wine, predominate. Besides the
decorations of buildings by private indi-
viduals, the Merchants Association, under
which the festival is given, appointed a
committee on street decoration, and Its
work Is very much in evidence.

MIR. BLAND'S REJOINDER.

for the Gold dMOnOmetnllists.

He Says That. the President Speaks
for the Gold Monometallfsts.
Ex-Representative R. p Bland was seen
at his home at Lebanon. No., yesterday,
and interviewed relative to President
Bland was shown the salient features of
rusing 1t carefully:
"Mr. Cleveland, unfortunately for him.
SELF his party and his country, from the
beginning of his administration. has drawn
the line sharply between the friends of BIZ
metallism and gold monometallism In do
ing so he has forced upon the country
state of affairs that is intolerable to the
masses of our people.
"Gold monometallism is a stencil in the
nostrils of the plain people. The gold
standard may do for the bondholders and
the bankers, but the sufferings of the in
dustrial masses consequent from silver de-
monetization will not be endured longer
without struggle, the like of which this
country has not seen since the late civil
war.
Mr. Cleveland must remember that this
crystallization and combination of the gold
standard sentiment and methods has
brought disaster to the people of all gold
standard countries, and this policy is now
running this country. 1t is this state Of
things that has made his administration
hateful to the masses of the American peo-
pie:
yocates of silver restoration are based on
wicked and unpatriotic purposes may do
for those whose environments are such as
to prevent them from seeing and knowing
the utter poverty and distress that is pre-
vailing among the masses Of the people. but
those who live in the midst of this distress
and see daily that the people are suffering
will repel with scorn such insinuations." I"

..SINBAD" AT THE GRAND.
The Company Smaller Than Promised.
But the Presentation Was Good,

The Company Smaller Than Promised.
But the Presentation Was Good,
There were several rows of empty
seats in the parquette at the Grand last
night when "Sinbad" was given by one
of the David Henderson Sinbad compa-
MES. Those who were there were we'll
pleased with the production. OF its
character it is quite as fine as Topeka
can expect. The siZs of the company
had been somewhat misrepresented. The
company consisted of but bout 40 people
on the stage. The ballots were pretty,
the scenery was beautiful.
The singing of the principals was not
what it should have been. This may be
accounted for partially by the frigidity
of the stage. Every time the curtain
went up a cold wave swept out in
10 the audience, making it SILVER. while
"Sinbad," Irene Verona and others of the
principals could be seen rubbing their
throats almost continuously. The sing
ing of the chorus was not strong, though
better than that of the chief players.
The comedy work of Joseph Doner as
Fresco was good and he did some things
quite as well as Eddy Foy, his prsde-
cessor.
The production was very good for a
one night stand. Those who have seen
the Chicago production, however, would
not care to see this.

He Was Reminded.

Some men who are extremely tena-
cious of their opinions will acknowledge
themselves in the wrong frankly
enough when they are convinced of the
fact. In illustration of this, a justice
of the United States Supreme court
lately told a story.
There was once, he said, a young
Irishman, an officer in the Lancers, who
had served with Wellington in the Pen
insula war. After his return he was
aske at dinner party by his neigh
Dor, burly young, English officer, if he
would have some Of the anchovies.
Indeed, 1 will, " said the Lancer.
81 have seen them growing in Spain"
Growing" exclaimed the English
man, in incredulous surprise.
Eyes, growing" rejoined the Irish
man sharply. I've seen whole bushes
of them, and picked them, too
'You are crazy, man." said the En-
glishman. "Anchovies don't grow on
bushes; they swim in the sea-
The Irishman insisted that they grew
on bushes. The controversy waxed hot,
and the lie was exchanged. In those
days duel was the inevitable result OF
such "a scene. Next morning the prin-
cipals were placed face to face on the
field, with pistols in their hands. The
Irishman's second whispered To him:
shoot low, my boy, and see him cut
up capers."
At that word the Irishman called out,
Hold! 1 am wrong! 1t was capers,
not anchovies, that l saw growing in
Spain"
