ERWIN'S EXCEPTIONS.

The Tall Pine Gives Reasons Why Hay
ward Should Have r. New Trial.
MINNEAPOLIS, March 25.-W. w. Err
win. counsel for Harry T. Hayward,
presented his bill of exceptions to the
verdict rendered agaiast his client of
murder in the first degree. He makes
the usual formal points that the verdict
was against the law and the evidence,
rendered under the influence of passion
and prejudice, and that the rulings Of
the court were wrong. He also alleges
that new evidence has been discovered
justifying retrial. This evidence was
printed in Minneapolis paper recently.
1t goes on to show that Miss Cling was
eating dinner at the Dairy restaurant
on the night Of the murder, after z
o'clock, and could not therefore have
been on the Boulevard, where witnesses
Blixt and Wilson claim to have seen
her at that time.

TO END THE WAR.

Japanese and Chinese Representatives
Meet at Simonoseki.
NEW YORK, March 25.-A special to
The World from Toxic says: The peace
ambassadors Of Japan and China met at
Simonoseki when Ii Hung Chang pre-
sented his credentials as China's envoy
plenipotentiary. The credentials were
examined by the Japanese representa-
tives, Prime Minis or Ito and Foreign
Minister Mutsu, and were found to be
satisfactory. Thereupon the ambassa-
doris proceeded directly to the business
which brought them together. The
conditions upon which Japan will con-
sent to end the war were stated in ex-
plicit terms by the Mikado's ministers.
After some discussion Lii Hung Chang
asked for three days delay in order
that he might consult the authorities
in Pekin upon certain points. The
Japanese ministers, who have entered
upon the negotiations with an earnest
desire to reach satisfactory conclusion,
granted the request. Unless the gov
ernment at Pekin instructs Ii Hung
Chang. to reject demands which Japan
considers indispensable to permanent
peace, the treaty may be speedily exc
cuted

Will Aid China's Position.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The news
of the assault Oh Ii Hung Chang caused
sensation in diplomatic circles in this
city. Cases where all envoy Of any
kind has been assaulted in the country
to which he is accredited are rare, and
those in which a peace commissioner is
attacked are almost unheard of in mod
ern days. The opinion here is that
Japan will suffer greatly as a conse-
quence Of the assault, and that the posi-
tion of China will be SO strengthened
= that she may be able tosseeure- better
terms Of peace than she may otherwise
have hoped for.
The incident may lead to the break
ing off of peace negotiations, which
were proceeding so satisfactorily, or, at
least, may postpone further action in
this direction until Japan has guaran-
teed the safety Of China's envoy and
made proper reparatiOn.

WASHINGTON, March 25. The trouble
between the United States and Ger
many over the latter's exclusion Of
American cattle has assumed a more
pacific aspect Of late, and officials are
hopeful that the subject may be ad-
justed without further friction. The
German authorities have urged with
apparent sincerity that they had no pur-
pose to retaliate against the United
States because Of the tariff ditferential
duty placed on German sugars. It has
pointed out thai Germany took similar
action against her near neighbor, Aus
tria, when it was suspected that hogs
coming from Austria were contanll-
mated. And as Austria and Germany
are members of the triple alliance, it is
urged that her course is shown to be in
ssp.rcd entirely by sanitary precaution
End not through political retaliation.
d. Likely to End Soon.
The German authorities also take the
.tp.gsition that they will at once end the
prohibition of American cattle when it
IS established that they are entirely free
from disease. In their Investigations
on the subject they have become satis-
fed that the methods Of government in.
spection in this country are very rigid
and effective, and they do not doubt
that this will lead to such perfect health
fulness among the cattle shipped abroad
that the cause for the exclusion will
disappear at no distant day. Assur-
ances are given that when this occurs
the embargo will be at once suspended.

1'HE NEGRO EXODUS.
eenator Morgan Believes 1t Will Increase
Rapidly In Proportions.

Rapidly In Proportions.
WASHINGTON, March rs. - Senator
Morgan Of Alabama thinks the present
exodus of negroes from the South to
Africa will increase rapidly in proper
ton and he believes that time will soon
come when the government of the
United States will take the matter up
officially and aid in their deportation.
"Africa," he said in discussing the
question, sis the natural home of the
negro, and a majority Of them desire to
return to that country. They cannot
we'll be blamed for entertaining
that wish, for there nothing
in this or any other white
mans country for the negro. Sufficient
time has elapsed since the slaves were
emancipated to demonstrate the white
mans superiority in all walks of life,
and it is my observation that most of
the negroes already realize that if they
remain here they will always occupy in
feriOr positions and continue, as Of old,
to be
"Ltttle More Than Servants"
Senator Morgan also asserted that a
large majority Of the white population
in the south was anxious to have the
negroes go.
1T is CERTAIN" said he, ''that many
of the planters; the owners Of large
plantations would have the negro stay,
as they favor their labor in preference
to whites, but they are in the minority.
The poor man does not want his com
petition, and all classes object to negro
equality in political affairs, as all feel
that they stand directly in the way OF
securing a more desirable class Of resi-
dents by preventing immigration. Fur
thermore, it is not true, as seems to be sup
posed that only negroes can do the labor
in the Southern states, an assertion
which is substantiated by the fact that
the cotton crop of this country has in
creased from little over 5000, 600 be-
fore the war to 100000
The senator expressed the opinion that
congress would take the problem of ex-
porting the negro in hand at no distant
date and said he expected that within
the next three or four years, the gov
ernment would be found providing
means for their transportation.
