Will Return to China the Whole
of Lao Tung Peninsula.
ENDEAvoR TO MAKE COMPROMISES.
Neither France, Germany Russia
Would Listen to Anything but Com
plete Surrender-Russian Ships Were
Cleared for rActfon--DevelOp Formosa.

Definite news from Japan regard
ing the status of affairs between
that country and Germany, France
and Russia was a decidedly scarce
article yesterday, Notwithstanding
the China left after a decision had
been reached on the ultimatum of
Russia. A letter was received at
the Foreign Office, however, from q
man in close touch with the in
side" affairs of the japanese gov
eminent. The letteris dated Toxic,
May 10th, and gives the following
authoritative review Of the situation
up to that time:
Ratifcations Of the peace treaty
were exchanged at Chefoo at II 80
p. m. on May 8th. The Viceroy's
adopted son Lii represented China
and Miogi Ito, Japan. -Four new ports
in China, on or about the Yangtsze
river, are opened, and the Japanese
have the right of importing machin-
eryIinto China and erecting factories
all over the country. This is really
for the benefit of England, Germany
and France. Germany objected to the
extension Of manufacturing privil-
edge and the German, Russian and
French ministers handed their for
NAL protests to the Japanese gov
eminent. The grounds for the pro-
tests are:
First-Menace to the permanent
peace Of the East.
Second-Menace to Pekin, which
must cease to be the capital in
such event.
Third-Menace to the autonomy
and independence of Korea.
Accordingly, on May 1st the Jap
anese Government informed Ger
many and France, and on May I'd
Russia, that she would only retain
Port Arthur, Talienwan and Kin
chow (the Regents sword), and
would return the rest of the Liao
Tung peninsula to China for an
additional sum to be added to the
indemnity, stipulating, however,
that China should ratify the orig
inal treaty.
The three powers on the 4th
instant refused this compromise,
and the Japanese Cabinet spent
the whole of that night until day
light of May 5th in consultation,
and finally concluded to recede
from their position and accept the
ultimatum of the three powers and
return to China the whole Of the
Lao Tung peninsula. It is said
that Japan will receive no further
indemnity.
When the Russian feet entered
Chefoo, her ships were cleared for
action. So Japan has given way
to force, pure and simple.
She, however, retains Formosa,
which will become a great colony
and sugar producer. Harbors will
be constructed there as well as
roads and railways. The Chinese
have never subjugated the abort
gines, who are a savage, manly
race but they will disappear IN
civilization.
With very cheap labor Japan
will people Formosa. It is about
half the size of Ireland and is said
to equal Hawaii in its climate.
There is no spread of cholera. 1t
is mainly owing to a few cases
brought from Talienwan and the
Pescadoreg. There is absolutely
not a case in or about Yokohama.

SHOULD BE DISCONTINUED.

Tho Congress of the United
States and we believe the Legisla.
lures OF the various States also,
are in the habit of paying mileage
and pen diem to unsuccessful cou-
testants, during the progress of
the contest for the seat of the mem
Der who enters the halls of the
national congress or tho State Leg
islatures, with a prima .tace case,
which results from the credentials
furnished by tho Governor of the
State in the nature of q certificate
to the member of Congress or the
returns of the State canvassing
board in favor of the member of
the legislature.
This is a pernicious custom,
inviting contests, which should be
discontinued. If contests for seats
in Congress had to he made at the
expense of the defeated candidates
and without any expectation or
possibility of being reimbursed
from the National or State Treas.
uries, they would not only be re-.
duced to a minimum, but none
would be entered except where the
contestant had the equities of the
case in his favor. AS the matter
now stands, the payment of the
mileage and per diem, is not only
a temptation, but an invitation to
defeated candidates to enter con
tests, in order to obtain this
amount OF money from the Nation.
al or State Treasury, as the case
may be.
We have been induced to in
dulge in these reflections, after
reading the plaintive vail of B. w.
Bailey, in which he serves notice
of contest for the seat of Hon. n {.
w. Ogden. Bailey knows that he
was not elected, has not the ghost
of a chance to unseat Mr.. o.
den, even in Republican Congress,
but it is probable that he is actu-
atsd only by desire to secure the
perQuisites, which he knows will
be allowed him ut the termination
of his unsuccessful contest.

An AtrOciOus Assassination.

One Of the most atrocious assas.
sinations in the criminal annals OF
this parish, was committed at
about seven o'clock last Friday
night at Forest Hill.
w. G. Roark, a machinist, was
sitting i'll the kitchen with
his head against the win
dow with his little child only
six months old in his arms, while
his wife was cooking supper, when
some diabollcal hend in human
shape stealthily crept up to the
window and discharged his pistol,
the ball entering Roark's neck, at
the base of the occipital bone, caus.
Ing instant death.
George w. Swealingen, a black
smith, betw cen whom and the de-
ceased there had been q previous
difficulty and whose reputation for
peace, quiet and the observance of
the laws, is not Of the best, was
suspected of having perpetrated
the horrible crime and was accord
ingly arrested by Deputy Sheriff
j. w. Simpson, brought to Alex
andria and incarcerated in the par.
ish Jail, to await a Preliminary ex-
animation.
The excitement in the commu
nifty against Swearingen was in
tense and threats of lynching were
freely INDUCED. 1t is supposed
that Roark was killed because he
was conversant with the fact and
had communicated it to others, of
the illicit relations between Swear
ingen-who was a married man
and a woman who boarded at
Roark's house.
AS usual, when a man has been
charged with murder and has been
lodged in Jail, many people appear
upon the scene who know various
criminal acts to his discredit, such
as train robbery SC.
We have heard various rnmors
in regard to the Robin Hood ex-
ploits Of Swearingen since the
mission Of the murder, but as
they are not we'll authenticated
and we believe that the law ought
to be permitted to take its course
without prejudice to tho prisoner,
we will not give publicity to any
of them.

HIGH RENTS.

The question has been asked
why is it, that while the prices Of
all things which are subjects of
barter and sale have gone down to
the lowest notch, house rents are
maintained at the exorbitant rates
which have prevailed in Monroe
for years. No satisfactory answer
has been given, and, as a matter of
fact, none based upon common
sense, or at least business sense,
can be given. To be in touch with
prevailing prices, rents should be
reduced at least 20 per cent.
Wages have been decreased,
both for skilled and unskilled
labor. The valuation of property
has fallen, as have also the prices
of materials which go into the con
struction of buildings.
A number of tenants in Monroe
have notified their landlords that
their rents must be reduced OF
there will be q number of vacan,
houses. A continuation of such
high rents as are now charged will
unquestionably work to the detri
ment of Monroe. Better ask q
reasonable rent and have tenants,
than vacant houses bringing in nc
reyenue.- Monroe Evening News
The same conditions prevail
in Alexandria and the same quest
ionhas been asked without eliciting
any satisfactory answer. 1t has
been shown that the rental of prop.
erty here, is not only exorbi.
tant, but bears neither relative
proportion to the amount of money
invested in it, nsr to the assessed
valuation of it.
