REMOVES THE "LIKEN" TAX.
All Nations May BE Farored by the
Treaty of Peace

AL Nations Nag Be Farored by the
Treaty of Peace.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 17.-United
States Minister Dun at Toxic has been
heard from in an announcement of the
conclusion of the treaty of peace between
China and Japan, but he apparently does
not know upon what terms this treaty has
been signed. The Chinese legation and
the Japanese legation here are also in
ignorance as to the exact conditions. 1t
is believed here that the japanese have
secured the abolition of the ''iken" tax,
by which is meant the tax imposed on
goods transported from one point in China
to another.
This has been the object of all occidental
diplomats accredited to China for months,
and the officials of the State Department
feel that all civilized nations will owe a
debt of gratitude to Japan for thus re-
moving this burden on their commerce
with China, for it is not believed this con-
cession would have been made in the in
terest of Japan alone. Should Japan.
however, be the only beneficiary as re-
CARDS this tax, it is fully expected that a
strong protest will be made by the powers
which would be greatly handicapped in
the competition with Japan for Chinese
trade unless they could claim the same
privilege of exemption under the favored
nation clauses of their treaties.
The loss of the "liken" tax will be very
severely felt by China. 1t averages about
twelve million taels per annum, and China
will supply the deficit in revenue with
great difficulty The total revenues of the
country were estimated by a competent
British consular officer in 1888 at 65, 000, 900
taels per annum, and as the custom taxes
are limited by treaty to S per cent it is a
matter of much speculation as to how the
country will raise the large indemnity de-
manded bv JaDan

coming CoHHtrteS.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 17,-W. E.
Curtis, the Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Record, will leave here Satur-
day and sail from San Francisco for Hong
kong on May 4. He goes to write series
of letters and to secure material for a book
which shall show the possibilities of trade
and commerce with China and Japan and
Korea under conditions that will follow
the restoration of peace between China and
Japan.
1t is his belief that these countries of the
far East are just upon the verge of an era
of material prosperity and commercial de-
velopment, and that for the next decade
at least the attention Of spectators and in
vestors will be turned toward them.
The advance guard of these from the
United States has already begun. One of
the first was General George B. Williams,
who goes in the interest of the ship-build-
ing firm of Charles Cramps Sons of Phila-
delphia. 1t has been announced that
Japan intends to expend the whole of the
money for indemnity received from China
in the extension of her military and naval
establishments and it may be that the
United States will furnish her part of her
ships and military stores.

INCOME TAX MUDDLE.
Internal RerenWe Officials Can Make No
Statement fos. the Ietas71ls

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1.-THE
Internal Revenue officials positively de-
cline to make public any statement IN re-
gard to the income tax returns or 10 an
swer any question relating thereto 1t is
learned the real cause of this retic-
ence is the great number Of blunders made
by the collectors in their Geographic re-
ports received yesterday and to-day. Some
of them contained only the number of re-
turns received last Monday, while others
included all that had been received from
the beginning, included those below the
$4,000 exemption, while still others in
cluded returns on which no tax is payable.
Who is blamable for this state of things is
not stated, but the result is that from what
has been received no intelligent statement
can be given of the number or amount of
returns fled with the collectors. 1t is I'M
doubtedly true that large number of
persons subject to the law have made no
returns at all and in consequence the
officials see ahead of them vast amount
of litigation and trouble.

THE LIKEN TAX REMOVED.
This Opens the Channels of Trade,
but Will Work Hardships Upon
the Government.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1.-THE
Chinese imperial edict sent by the Asso-
ciated Press last night from Tientsin is
accepted among the officials and diplomats
here as setting at rest conflicting reports as
to the final terms of peace. An indemnity
of 200,000,000 taels is the compromise.
Japan first demanded 300, 900 taels,
but on solicitation of Prince Ii threw off
100000. At the Chinese legation it is
stated that tael varies in value, but the
present value of the customs or treasury
tael, in which undoubtedly the payment
will be made, is 81 so in Mexican silver, or
about rs cents in gold.
This would make the indemnity equiva-
lent to $500 100000 in Mexican silver dol
lars, or $3.50, 600, 900 in gold. The Mexican
trade dollar is the current coin of China
and the basis of calculation, so that the be-
lief is very strong, though information on
the subject is lacking, that the payment
may be in silver.
The edict that Japan is to occupy Lao
Tung Peninsula up to the fortieth degree
of latitude settles the important point that
she will have great fortress at Port Arthur
and the immediate surrounding territory,
as foreshadowed in the dispatches.
Lao Tung Peninsula is small point of
land jutting southwark into the Gulf of
Pechili, with Port Arthur at its extreme
point. The fortieth degree of latitude cuts
across the mainland where the little PENN
sula broadens into the mainland of Man
churia. This lower peninsula has the shape
OF a sword, and is known as the Regent s
sword"
The edict does not state whether Japan
gets the acquisition permanently or until
the indemnity is paid. She has contended
for having it permanently. If the occu-
pancy is temporary it will give Japan a
military command over China as long as
the occupation lasts. The permanent oc-
cupancy of the island of Formosa has been
settled for some time. The opening OF
Peking and four new ports of commerce
marks the introduction of modern methods
in the interior of China.
Japan has gained the privilege of estab-
fishing her cotton and other factories in
China but it remains to be seen whether
Japanese capital will invest in these enter
prises or the Chinese buy these modern
fabrics.
The edict makes a significant omission
as to the reported Japan-China alliance,
offensive and defensive, which, if consum-
mated, would have given the "Orient to
the Orientals." Japanese and Chinese
officials in Washington have never credited
the report of this alliance.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 17.-The
Chino-Japanese war having ended it is
said at the Navy Department that naval
ship will be dispatched to the Asiatic sta
ton to bring back the enlisted men of that
squadron whose terms of service have ex-
pired. The department is considering
which vessel to send. If the Marion does
not go the Philadelphia, now at Honolulu,

being relieved by the Olympia, and the
Baltimore will bring these men back. Navy
Department officials say that notwith-
standing the cessation OF warfare between
China and Japan the United States will not
only maintain its squadron in Chinese
waters, but will add to it as the various
ships now under construction are COM
pleted and placed in commission.

SCARCITY OF THE CATTLE.
investigation Into the Recent
Rise in the Price OF
Beef.
Why the Embargo on Mexican Cattle
Is Raised by the Agricultural
Departm ent.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1.-THE
officials at the Department of Agriculture
are pursuing their investigation into the
recent big rise in the price of beef, and it is
more than likely they will have something
definite to say within the next week with
reference to the cause of the matter and
the probable outcome. The action of the
department in raising the embargo on
Mexican cattle is expected to have the
effect of keeping the price Of beef from 60
ing up higher even if it does not cause
decline, DR.. Salmon, chief of the bureau
of animal industry, said to-day there was
an undoubted scarcity of cattle in the
West, sufficient to account in part for the
increased price of dressed meats.
THE only question, said he, "is whether
this scarcity is sufficient to account for it
altogether, or whether the few big men
who control the beef market have not to a
certain extent at least, anticipated the
effect Of this scarcity; in other words,
whether the effect has not come before the
cause. What we are anxious to know is
whether the price OF cattle has gone up in
proportion to the price of beef. 1t is not
any easy matter to settle and our agents
are meeting some difficulty in getting at
the facts in the matter, but their reports
are beginning to come in.
For some time past" continued DR..
Salmon, seattle have been getting scarcer
and scarcer in the West and especially in
the Southwest. The condition of the grass
has been so poor cattle have well nigh dis
appeared entirely. In Southwestern Texas,
for example, where there used to be ire
mendous herds, there are practically none
to-day. There has been a great improve
ment in the grass this year in Texas and
other Western States, but the cattle are not
there to take advantage of it. That is one
reason that influenced the department in
its decision to raise the embargo on cattle
from Mexico. Mexican cattle have been
looked upon with disfavor for the reason
that Texas fever is known to exist on the
other side of the border and quarantine
has been kept up in the summer. The
action of the packers in raising the price of
beef to such an extent resulted in the de-
partmeut raising the embargo. The de-
partment has increased its force of in
spectors and all incoming cattle will be
rigidIy examined. Furthermore, the Mex
lean cattle seem to be in an unusually good
condition this year"

facts which the department expects to

second, that he was not guilty of improper

4 PREHISTORIC RACE.
1T Is Said to Hare EDisted 5000 Years
Before Christ.

LONDON, ENG, April 1.-THE Edin-
burgh correspondent of the Times says
that, in lecture delivered before the
Edinburgh Royal Society, Professor w.
Flinders Petrie, the distinguished Egyptian
geologist, declares that recent excavations
made in the district thirty miles north of
Thebes, pointed to the existence 1000 years
before Christ of race quite distinct from
the Egyptians.
This race was probably the people who
overthrow Egyptian civilization at the
close of the old kingdom. Who they were
and whence they came was uncertain, but
the indications suggested that they were a
branch of the same eastward migration of
Libyans which founded the Amorite race
in Syria.
The Times comments editorially on the
Importance of Professor Petrie's discovery
in transforming Egyptian history and in
encouraging the excavators in Greece and
elsewhere.

ELECTIONS IN CANADA.
The Manitoba School Question Pre-en,t-
nentIy the Issue.

nentty the Issue.
MONTREAL, QUEBEC, April 17.-Elec-
tons were held to fill vacancies in Quebec
constituencies to-day. In Vercheres,
French-Canadian and Roman Catholic con-
stituency, the issue was pre-eminently the
Manitoba school question, and the Govern
ment hoped to redeem lifelong Liberal
seat on their pledge of remedial legislation
to the Manitoba Catholic minority. The
result was disappointing to them, as G. A.
Cotton, Liberal, defeated T. ]. Bissaleon,
Ministerialist, by majority of 251. In
the general election of 1891 the Liberal
majority was 14S.
In Quebec, West, the situation was diff
ferent. Thomas McGreevy, who was i'm
prisoned for defrauding the Government
in connection with the Quebec harbor
works contract, stood for the seat which
he lost on account of scandal. Hon.
j. II. Hearn, who succeeded him, was
Conservative, and his death has made the
vacancy.
Mr.. McGreevY was opposed by Z. K.
Dobel, who defeated him by seven votes.
Dobel is supporter of the Liberal trade
policy of tariff for revenue, but it is under
stood he will give the Government sup
port on other questions.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, April 1.-THE cleo
ton which took place in Haldimand to fill
vacancy in the Dominion Parliament
was more important than is usual with a
by election, from the fact that it is the
first time that an Ontario constituency has
spoken since the order was issued from
Ottawa suggesting relief for the Roman
Catholic minority in Manitoba. DR.. Mon
tague, who takes the portfolio of Secretary
of State, represented the Dominion Gov
eminent, and Jeffrey Mccarthy, equal
Fighter. solicited the Orange vote as pro-
test against interference with provincial
rights.
In the election last held Montague had a
majority of SO. To-day the figures stand +:

Hunt on warrant, says the New York
Times.
Accompanied by her husband, James,
and her 13-year-old son, John Henry, she
came to this city last week from Evansville,
Jefferson County, N. Y. They had sold
their property there, consisting of two
COWS and a pig. They took rooms at the
Spring-street address, and last Friday Mrs.
Williamson gave Hughes the $50 bill in
question to pay her room rent. Hughes
gave the woman 81 change. He did not
know that the money was Confederate I'M
til he had taken it to the bank.
When Mrs. Williamson was brought to
court she at once admitted that she had
given the bill to Hughes. She said that 1T
had been given to her by her husband, who
had received it from the man to whom he
sold the COWS and the pig. Justice Talntor
told the woman to send for her husband.
She turned to her boy, Iohn Henry, who
had come to court with her, and said:
John HenryP' Then followed some words
in tongue never before heard in the JET
ferson Market Court. The lad answered
in the same tongue, while an old police
man calculated:
'Bless my soul, the lads talking Gaelic"
So he was. The family has been in this
country only three years, having come
from the west coast of Ireland. When the
husband appeared he corroborated in
every way the story told by his wife. He
added that this was the first paper money
he and his vile had ever seen. He had
never heard of Confederate money.
Justice fainter held Mrs. Williamson in
$500 bonds for examination on Monday.

Htfh Great Loss.

SIMLA, INDIA, April 1.-THE force COM
manded by Keller, numbering 600 men,
who are fastening to the relief of Chitral,
reached Samoghar on April II. They
found that the enemy had constructed
stone breastworks, on the side of a ravine
$50 feet in height, through which the ex-
petition had to pass. The natives were
armed with Martini and Snyder rifles.
Two of the British mounted guns were
employed in bombarding the works.
While the pioneers attacked their breast
works in front detached party crept up
the side of the hill and took the natives on
the flank. driving them out of their de-
lenses. The British loss in the engage
ment was six killed and fifteen wounded.
The enemy left behind them fifty dead and
carried away larg number of wounded.
