CREDENTIALS OF THE PEACE ENJOYS.
LONDON, Feb. 5.--A dispatch to the
Times from Yokohama says that the text
of the credentials OF the Chinese Peace
Envoys, with whom Japan refused to
treat, on account of the iusutficency of
their powers, was as follows:
''By decree we appoint you our pleni-
potentiaries to meet and negotiate the
matter with the plenipotentiaries ap-
pointed by Japan. You will, however,
telegraph to the Using Ii Yamen the
Chinese Foreign Office for the purpose of
obtaining our commands, by which you
will abide. You will conduct your mis-
sion in faithful and diligent manner,
and fulfill the trust reposed in you. Re-
spect this"
a dispatch from Pekin says that the
capture of the forts at Wei Hal w Ell has
made deeper impression upon the Chi
nese than the fall of Port Arthur. The
dispatch adds that the reported refusal of
Japan to treat with the Chinese envoys
confirms the belief expressed in Pekin
that the Japanese are not willing to name
their terms of peace.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Il. D. Shaw, an old-time newspaper
man. and at present the business mana
ger OF the Calhoun Opera Company, was
in this city yesterday paving the way for
the coming OF his company in those most
beautiful OF comic operas, SAID PaSha"
and Black Hussar."
At the Clunie Opera-house the thrilling
spectacular drama, "Vendetta," will be
repeated. The convict march, the eX-
plosion in the prison wall, the collision at
sea and the rescue are features full of
stirring dramatic interest. The assumD-
ton OF the part of CASTOR by Mr.. Arm
strong is one of the best works of that
competent actor. His mannerismS quite
disappear in this play, and the actor Is
lost in the part created.
Miss Gertrude Carley-Auld's concert
drew a very large audience TO the Con-
gregationai Church last evening. The
programme was a good one. The vocal
quartets alone failed to have warm COM
mendation: This was due TO the simple
fact that the bonehciary's voice is not,
in it's delicacy, best adapted to use in a
mixed quartet. While ii maintains itself,
there is wanting that robust vigor which
is essential i'll q soprano singing under
such conditions. Miss Carley-Auld has
not sung better here ut any time. The
exquisite delcacy OF her voice, her fine
style ana admirable management: her
precision OF attack and freedom from
mannerisms; her charming repose OF
manner, all combine to make her de-
lighttul singer for such an auditorium as
her voice filled last night. The quality Of
her voice is quite indescribabIe. Not
robust, not even tC De reckOned as strong
nevertheless It's pecutar volume fills the
hall and she is heard distinctly in its re-
motest part. It's SOFT resonance, its bird
like penetration Of tone, its rippling,
liquid and silvery character, the ease Of
its delivery and the phenomenal piano
effects OF which it Is capable i'll nigh
register, make 1t one of the most
peculiar and charming OF voices.

THE END IN SIGHT.
Durrant's Case Will go to the Jury
About Next Friday.

San Francisco, Oct. 26.-The trial of
Theodore Durrant is nearing it's close and
the case will probably go to the jury next
Thursday or Friday. Attorney Dickin-
son, for the defense, has said he will con-
clude on Tuesday morning, to which day
the case has been continued, and Attor-
ney Duprey, also for the defense, will
probably finish for Durrant on Tuesday
afternoon. District Attorney Barnes
expects to begin his argument on We'd
nesday morning and to complete his clos
ing address on the same day. Judge
Murphy's charge will be long and ex-
haustive and it delivery may occupy a
day. The exhibits are not numerous and
in the the case of some will require much
study on the part of the jury. This is
particularly true of the comparison-Of the
notes of Durrant and those made by Stu
dent Glazer, with whom Durrant quizzed.
1t is understood that the district attor-
ney will parallel the two sets of notes
and argue that Durrant's could not be
more like Glazer's without having been
copied verbatim. The district attorney,
will, it is said, also attack the roll call
and will call attention to the error in
marking Student Gaven present when he
was in fact absent.

has scheme which he believes will
thwart the fighters. If, after having ar.

unable to keep the fighters apart, the
next move on the program is to have a
warrant for Corbett's arrest issued from
Newton or some other backwoods county,
and have an officer at Hot Springs ready
to serve it. By this scheme Corbett will
be taken over trip through the hills of
rural Arkansas that will require at least
three or four days to make. By the time
