NO CHANGE IN THE TEXT.
Conditional announcement of
Peninsula of Lao
Tung.
DUE PRECAUTIONS ARE TAKEN
The Mikado Has a Safeguard
Against Anything Like War
of Reprisal.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 9.-An Off
cial dispatch from Toxic received at the
japanese legation to-day states that the
notifications of the treaty of peace between
Japan and China were exchanged at Che
foo on Wednesday. No change was made
in the text of the treaty as originally con-
Guided Taking into account, however,
the recommendations made by Russia,
Germany and France, the japanese Gov
eminent has agreed to the announcement
of the permanent possession OF the Lao
Tung peninsula on condition that the ar
rangement regarding the terms and form
of remuneration shall be reserved for adj
iustment between itself and the Govern
ment of China.
This latter stipulation is construed to
mean that Japan will not surrender the
peninsula until a suitable indemnity shall
have been paid, and that it may have been
agreed between Japan and China that the
possession of Port Arthur itself would be
retained by the Japanese for a term of
wears leading beyond the date when the
indemnity has been paid in full, thus as
surfing to Japan not alone the payment of
the indemnity itself, but sufficient time to
safeguard herself against anything like a
war of reprisal. 1t will be remembered
that the treaty of peace itself provides that
Wei-hai-wei shall be held until the first
100, 900 900 taels of the indemnity and the
next two annual installments have been
paid; so that with the added guarantee of
the possession of Port Arthur, even al
though only temporary, the japanese
Government would appear to have taken
every possible precaution for the future.
The foregoing statement is official, COM
ing direct from Toxic by cable. The IN
derstanding is that it embodies the reply
which Japan recently gave to the protest
of Russia and the allied powers.

ALL IN SILVER'S CAUSE.
Has Too Many Enemies Among
Democrats to Run for
President.
FREE COINAGE HIS DESIRE
Success of the Effort to Make Gold
the Money Basis VIII Ruin
the Country.

DENVER, Colo, May 9.-Ex-Congress-
man Richard P. Bland of Missouri, who
will lecture in Denver next Saturday night
on ''The Twenty Years Battle for Silver
and the Fight Yet to Come" is resting
quietly in this city, as he is still suffering
from the effects of the grip. He said to-
day:
81 had not heard of the efforts of my
friends in ST. Louis in the way of securing
for me the nomination for President by the
free silver Democrats in 1896. In fact do
not think that I am the proper man for
them to select. In my public life I have
never made fight to get personal advan-
tage for myself. Especially is this true in
the silver cause. 1 have fought for the
cause itself. In doing SO have made too
many enemies among my Democratic
friends for me to be an available candidate.
Rather than try to make friends and
build up for myself political future, l
tried to advance the cause I advocated.
This has made me less available as can
didate than many others. There are
plenty of good men in the ranks who would
have greater strength than l. have tried
to keep the Democrats stirred up during
my terms of Office, and l fear [ succeeded a
little too well to expect success in a Presi-
Dental canvass.
81 do not propose to support any politi-
cal party hereafter that will not support
the free and unlimited coinage of silver. l
see grand changes going on all over the
country in favor of the movement. think
it will be brought about. If the effort to
make gold the money basis of the country
is maintained it must and will cause ruin
to our land. Silver must have all of the
privileges of gold, and I cannot agree to
any other plan"

NEW HAVEN, Conn, May civilian
II. Hurlburt of New York, Yale 1860, has
issued circular and sent it to each mem
Der OF his class, advocating change in the
method of electing members of Yale cor
poration. He says: "Yale does not grow,
it drifts. Yale has prospered in certain
way, but how much more prosperous might
she have been with governing corpora
ton progressive and up to date. The GUS
tom that corporation member shall sue
coed himself at the expiration of his term
of office should be modified. But few die
and none resign. 1t is a grave question
whether in these progressive times Country
clergymen are the fittest persons to have
entire control of such an institution as

Make Charges of Foul Play.

RAWLINS, WYo., May 9.-The Cali
fornia friends of Sidney Smith have made
no charges of foul play in his case, as far
as is known here. The fact, as found by
the Coroner's jury, was that he hanged
himself in his cell. The testimony at the
inquest was very conclusive as to his being
mentally unbalanced. He acted queerly
and was praying to be saved all the way
from Cheyenne to Rawlins. Here he was
locked up on charge of insanity, and he
then killed himself.

LONDON, ENG, May 10.-A dispatch to

the rebellion which is gaining ground all
over Franco rebellion of the church
against the state. The attitude of the

Bishop has had the courage to advocate
submission to the law, and he was
promptly extinguished by his metropoli-
tan.

I.ightness of the Defender.
Philadelphia Inquirer.


 4TAe Defender is without exception the greatest innovation in the art of ship construction afioat. The use of al- uminum alloyed with 6 per cent of cop per in the plating of vessels is no longer a novelty, this material having been em- ployed upon the hulls of several torpedo boats recently built on the Thames. The fact, however. that this material has proved quite as sensitive as steel to the corrosive action of salt water has in- duced the designers of the new yacht to plate her bottom with manganese bronze, and to use an alloy of aluminium with a small percentage of nickel in her plating above the water line only. The new alloy is very elastic, recovering readily from a strain of 35,000 pounds to the square foot, while it's weight per square foot in plates of three-eighths of all inch in thickness is only 5.29 pounds compared with 1925 and 15.30 pounds for the same quantities of bronze and steel respectively. The total saving in weight of hull obtained by the use of the new material in the upper plates of the Defender is about five tons; and thus 1t has been made feasible to add that much to her lead keel and lower her cen ter of gravity. The Defender should, therfore, be able to carry a larger sail area in proportion to her size, and there by have greater sail power, than any vessel that ever skinned over the sur face of the sea. The standardization Of these theories by the test of practical experience will be of interest not only to yachtmen. but to the whole world of shlpwrights and naval constructors.
