Washington, May 9.-An official dispatch
from Toxic received at the Japanese le-
CATION this afternoon states that the Tati-
ncalons OF the treaty of peace beween
Japan and China We're exchanged at Chee
FOO on wednesday. 1t is understood that
no change was made in the text of the
treaty as originally concluded, but that
taking into account the recommendations
made by Russia, Germany and France,
the Japanese government has agreed to
renoumee the permanent possession of the
Lao Iung peninsula, on condition, how
ever, that the arrangement regarding the
form and the terms Of the Fenunciation
shall be reserved for adjustment between
itself and the government of China. This
latter stipulation is construed to mean
that Japan Will not surrender the penin-
sula until a suitable indemnity shall have
been paid, and that II may even be agreed
between Japan and China that the possess
sion of Port Arthur itself Will be retained
for terms 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 to safeguard her
self against anything like a war of re-
prisal.
The treaty Of peace itself provides that
Wei -Hai-Wef shall be held until the firet
lOlOO0,OOO taels and the next two annual
installments of the indemnity 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

Louisville. KY. May 9--Judge Thomp-
son, after listening to arguments for four
hours in the Gordon Brown murder case

charged him. Judge Thompson, after
the closing argument, said: II have lis

of being dashed at any moment. The
prisoner is discharged"
Then followed a wild scene. People
jumped upon chairs, the bar and even on
the steps Of the judges bench and broke
into cheers. Hundreds waved their hats
in the air and the attorneys for the de-
fense almost had their hands wrung off

journed.

London, May 9,-It was generally re-
marked at the reception of the National
Liberal Club last evening that Lord Rose
berry looked pale and wearied. The lapse
of memory from which he suffered caused
him TO lose the thread of his argument,
lasted several minutes, in spite of the fact
that he was repeatedly reminded by Earl
Spencer and Mr.. Campbell -Bannerman
Meanwhile the premier gazed about him
in a dazed sort of way that was painful to
see When he recovered himself he was
inclined to end his remarks then and there,
but he was persuaded TO proceed, which
he did with great effort. Some ascribe his
condition to the use of drugs.
