RAT|FICAT|ONS OF Peace
Official Notice Received at Japanese
Legation at Washington.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Wei IIai Wei to BE Held Until tho Hrst
1OO,OOO.OOO Tacls Have Been Paid.
Every Prccaution for the Fu.
turc Is Taken.

Washington, May 9.-An official dis
patch from Toxic. received at the Jap
anese legation this afternoon, states
that the ratfications of the treaty Of
peace between Japan and China were
exchanged at Chefoo on Wednesday. 1t
is understood that no change was made
in the text of the treaty as originally
concluded, but that taking into ac-
count the recommendations made by
Russia, Germany and France, the Jap
anese government has agreed to re-
nounce the permanent possession of the
Lao Tung peninsula, on condition,
however, that the arrangements regard
ing the form and the terms of the re-
nunciation shall be reserved for ad-
justment between itself and the govern
ment of China.
This latter stipulation is construed to
means that Japan will not surrender
the peninsula until a suita BILE indemnity
Shall have been paid and that 1t may
even be agreed between Japan and
China that the possession of Port Ar
thur itself will be retained for a term
of years extending beyond the date
when the indemnity shall have been
paid in full, thus guaranteeing to Japan
not alone the payment of the indemnity
itself, but also sufficient time to safe
guard herself against anything like
ware of reprisal.
The treaty Of peace itself provides
that Wei Hal Wei shall be held until
the first 100000 taels and the next
two annual installmentS of the in
stallments have been paid, so that with
the added guarantee of the possession
of Port Arthur, even although only
temporary, the Japanese government
appears to have taken every possible
precaution for the future.

OSBORNE'S WILL is FILED.
Liberal Provision Made for Actress Fay
TcmplctOn.


Tcmplcton.
New York, May 9-The will of the
late Howell Osborne has been admitted
to probate in the office of the surro-
gate. 1t is dated Jan. 8, 1894, and APP
points John W. Sterling and George
w. Church executors and trustees.
Liberal provision is made for Fay Tenn
peton, the actress. the bequest to
whom is in the following language:
"Out of the rest, residue. and remain
der of my estate l give, devise, and
bequeath to Fay Templeton, of New
York, such of my property as she may
select of the appraised value Of not ex-
ceeding 500, ,O0O."
In view of this bequest the statement
of the executors in their petition for
the probate of the will that Osborne
left no real estate and that the value
of his personal, property does not ex-
ceed $4,000 seems strange. The ques-
tion as to the relations which existed
between Osborne and Fay Templeton
is finally answered by the signature of
Fay Templeton Osborne" to a paper
which she signed in waving the issu-
ance of citations for the probate of the
will. In another place she signs her
self as 'EFay Templeton Osborne, form
erly Fay Templeton." Her residence is
given as 1O3 West Seventy-second
street. The statement of the executors
sets forth that Fay Templeton claims
an interest in the estate as his widow
and otherwise.

Washington, May 9.-Comptroller

western trip everywhere a disposition
among the sound-money men to be up

silver heresy, which has taken so Sc

He sees a favorable sign in the gen.
eral awakening of trade and industry
from a long sleep, the renewed activity
in inland shipping, the starting of fine
new business buildings. etc, the prob
ability being that as the wrecks of the
panic year disappear and fresh life is
infused into business of all sorts the
vague cropping of so many persons for
something novel in finance will cease.
Signs of the same sort are observed by
other western men who are living here.
