CHINA AND JAPAN.
Results of the Negotiations for Peace Be-
 tween the Two Countries.

Results of the Negotiations for Peace Be-
 tween the Two Countries.
 WASHINGTON, March 14-As result of the negotiations between Minister Dunn in Japan and Minister Denby in China the terms of peace about to be concluded between China and Japan are now known with little short of ex- actness. As understood in official cir cles they are as follows:
 First-The treaty between Japan and China has ceased to exist by reason of war, but on the renewal of peace the new treaty will grant Japan extra ter ritorial jurisdiction over China, but the latter country will surrender the extra territorial jurisdiction she formerly held in Japan.
 Second-There will be no extension of Japanese territory on the mainland of Asia, but the island of Formosa, a Chinese possession lying off the coast will be permanently ceded to Japan.
 Third-The Japanese will by treaty be granted the right to continue the occupation of Port Arthur and Wei Hai Wei, the two great naval stations leading to the gulf of Pechili for term of years.
 Fourth-The claims of China that Corea is dependency of hers shall be forever relinquished and Corea shall henceforth be independent.
 Fifth-The cash indemnity to be paid by China will not exceed $250, 900, ,OOO in gold.
 The foregoing terms give a number of new features which the cable infor- nation from Pekin and Tolio has not thus far disclosed. The purpose not to extend Japanese territory on the main- land, but to confne it to the outlying islands of Formosa, assures the conclu- sion of peace without European inter- vention. The maintenance of Jap anese extra territorial jurisdiction leaves China as the only oriental coun- try submitting to this jurisdiction.

A Congressman Resigns.

ATLANTA, Ga., March 14.-The resig- nation of J. c. c. Black as congress- man from the Tenth district has been accepted by Gov Atkinson, who will soon call an election to fill the vacancy. This is the district represented in the Fifty-second congress by Tom Watson, populist. In 1892 Black defeated Watson and in the last election again contested the seat. Black was elected on the face of the returns, but frauds being charged on both sides, he has resigned and the race will be ron over again, this time under q new and strict regis tration law passed by the last general assembly.

LOSS BY FIRE.
Two Large Business Houses at Kansas City
 Burned.

Burned.
 KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 14.-While a bitter cold wind was blowing from the north last evening a fire broke out in the four-story building of the Eng fish Supply & Engine Co.,, at 40, 412 and 414 West Fifth street and burned for one hour and thirty minutes with incredible fury. When the fire had spent its force two magnificent brick buildings were smouldering ruins and property to the value of S242, 900 had been destroyed. The fire started at 5;2o o'clock. It was under control at 2 o'clock. The flames from the English Supply Co.'S building communicated with the four-story brick occupied by the Great Western type foundry and the Western Newspaper union, and thirty minutes later the walls of both buildings began to fall. The flames leaped 100 feet in the air, and burning brands were showered over the north end, threatening to destroy that por- ton of the town. Adjoining buildings were set fire by burning brands, but were extinguished before any damage had been done.
 The total loss was about S25O, ,00O; and the total insurance was S166,OO0.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 1S.-The navigation season on the Missouri river opened to-day by the departure from St. Louis of the steamer Benton. The Benton will run to Miami, Saline coua- ty. The steamer has run for several years in the lower Missouri river trade with financial success. There will probably be no boats regularly to Kan sas City this year on account of the poor encouragement offered by ship parc bara

The DiscredIted Democracy In Search of a
 Leader.

Leader.
 The memory of the oldest inhabitant runneth not back to the time when, within q year of the time for selecting delegates to a national convention, the democratic party was talking of no candidate. Do you realize the fact that there are no bids as yet for the democratic presidential nomination next year? Strange it is, but there is not solitary aspirant who commands any following whatever.
 Cleveland is retired in disgrace, even did not the third term objection run against him.
 Prof. Wilson is discredited, defeated in his own district, rejected by the peo- pie, and not voice is raised to speak of him even as possibility.
 Ex-Gov. Pattison, of Pennsylvania, went down into oblivion when he at tempted to run for mayor of Philadel- phia, and met such signal and stun ming defeat. A man who is turned down by his state and then by his city is discredited politically.
 German is out of the question.
 Hill has the ambition, but half his party is ready to knife him, and he. could no more get the nomination than he could fly to the moon.
 Gray is dead, Voorhees, out of the line, Vest and Bland defeated and re. tired to private life, with none so low as to do them reverence.
 Stevenson, the only Adlai, really hankers after the nomination, but his aspirations only make people smile He is too light a weight, even for the democratic donkey.
 Whitney-well, does anyone suppose Wall street magnate and Standard Oil chief as well, could be nominated, or elected if pominated?
 Russell-William T., of Massachu. setts-has dropped out of sight. He was at best but meteor flashing athwart the political sky.
 Verify the democratic party-what there is left of it-is like the Israelites in the wilderness, only without a Moses. And no available Moses is in sight to lead them over the desert they must cross in 1S96.-Toledo Blade.

FIERCE FIRES.
Wabash Roundhouse at Toledo,
 O., Burned to the Ground.
MANY MEN BURIED UNDER A WALL.
Three Dead and Nine Badly Hurt-The World and A. N. Kellogg's Newspaper Co. at Cleveland Burned Out
 Blaze at Milwaukee.

TOLEDO, O., March 1S.-The round- house of the Wabash Railroad Co. in this city, located at the foot of South street, on the dock front, burned to the ground yesterday morning. Three quarters of an hour after the first alarm was sent in the southwest wall of the building, 60 feet in circumfer- ence, fell in burying twelve men under meath it. Two of them were instantly killed, third died a short time after being taken out of the debris and the others were all badly hurt, one proba- ply fatally. All but one were employees of the Wabash.
 The firemen had a stubborn fight with the doomed roundhouse, the heavy wind greatly aiding the stub- born flames. At noon the fire was practically under control, after de- stroying all that was inflammable of the building. The property loss is es- timated at SlOO,0OO. The roundhouse, which had capacity of twenty loco- motives, contained only six engines and these are all badly damaged. A Wheeling IS Lake Erie coal car and Baltimore & Ohio box car were con- sumed.
 A NEWSPAPER RUINED BY FIRE.
 CLEVELAND, O., March Is. The Worth ington block, at the corner of Ontario and Noble streets, occupied by the World (newspaper) plant and the A. N. Kellogg Newspaper Co.,, was entirely destroyed by fire soon after 6 o'clock yesterday evening. The building was of brick and five stories in height The basement and second floor were occupied by the Kellogg Newspaper Co.,, with a composing and stereotyping plant, while the World occupied the first and fifth floors. On the third floor was the Claflin Manufacturing Co.,, makers of light hardware, and on the fourth floor was the Bandau Broth CTS Passementerie Co.,, manufacturers of dress and cloak trimmings.
 The loss on the building is estimated at SiO, GOO with S1O,0O insurance. The loss of the Cleveland World is placed at S6O, 900 with S4O, 900 insurance. The Kellogg Newspaper Co.'S loss is S4l 1000 and the insurance S2l, ,OOO. The Clahin Manufacturing Co. and Bandau Broth CTS lose about Sl0,0 each, which is in- sured. The cause of the fire is a mys- tery. An explosion, probably caused by gasoline, occurred soon after the fire started, causing quite a little ex- citement.
 BLAZE AT MILWAUKEE.
 MILWAUKEE, March ls--Fire early yesterday morning in the Morris build- ing, large brick structure at the foot of East Water street, caused damage to building and contents estimated at S5O,OOO. The insurance cannot be as- certained before to-day, but is sup posed to be ample. The premises were occupied by bicycle manufacturing firm, the Wisconsin Iron and Wire works, the Milwaukee Brass Co. and the National Time Recording Co. The fire started from some unknown cause in the top floor of the structure.

Gy In its last hours the Fifty-third congress more than sustained its evil reputation. A few extravagant jobs escaped, but they were not many. There was very little restraint from any quarter upon the profligate disre- gard for the condition of the country. The only voice which was needed was that of the lobby urging greater in. roads on the treasury. - Pittsburgh Dispatch.
