THE WH|Tt.W|NGED ANGEL
Peace Now Supposed to Reign
in the Orient

Regard to the Possession Of Territory.

WASHINGTON, May 9. An official dis
patch from Toxic received at the Japanese
legation today, states that the ratifications
OF the treaty Of peace between Japan and
China were exchanged at Chez Foo on
Wednesday. No change was made IN the
text OF the treaty as Originally concluded.
Taking into account, however, the rec
concentrations made by Russia, France
and Germany, the japanese government
have agreed to the announcement of the
permanent possession of the Liao Tung
peninsula on condition that the arrange
ment regarding the terms and form of re-
nuneiation shall be reserved for adjust
met between itself and the government of
China. This latter stipulation is con-
strued to mean that Japan will not sur
render the peninsula until suitable in
demnity 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 tor a term OF years, leading be-
yond the date when the indemnity has
been paid in full. thus assuring to Japan
not alone the payment of the indemnity
itself, but sufficient time to safeguard
herself against anything like a war or
reprisa. 1t will be remembered that the
treaty OF peace itself provides that Wei
HaiWei shall be held until the first l00,-
600, 000 of the indemnity and the next two
annual installments have been paid. so
that with the added guarantee of the pos
session of Port Arthur. even although
only temporary, the Japanese govern
ment woud appear to have taken every
possible precaution for the future.
The foreign statement is official, COM
ing direct from Toxic by cable. The un-
derstanding is that it embodes the reply
which Japan recently gave to the protest
of Russia and the allied powers.
LONDON, May "a dispatch: from St.
Petersburg states that up to Sunday it
was believed that Japan would refuse to
give up Port Arthur. Orders were given
10 mobilize 110,0O troops in the Iikutsk
and Tomsk districts, and credit of 90

pose to injure the administration, the
president or Mr.. Willis. | remarked that
he had permitted the letters including the
omitted parts to be copied for publica-
ton and that he no doubt was disap-
pointed that the omitted parts dia not
appear and | asked HIM if he thought
he ceuld, with propriety as the re pre-
sentative OF a foreign government at this
capital, furnish newspapers with such
matter. HIS reply was that he had SIM
ply furnished it as news or information,
which the public might like to hear from
Honolulu, and Senator Kyle had received
a letter even more severe in it's terms
which had been given to the public, to
which | rejoined that Senator Kyle was
u citizen of the United States and as such
might say and do things which foreign
minister could not say and do with pro-
prety.
Here the interview ended. When Mr..

days later he informed me there was
further statement he desired 10 make.
After being told that if he desired to say
anything moe on the subject it should
be in writing, he at once proceeded:

possible misunderstanding the minister $
statement should be in official form and
requested that he prepare and submit
such q communication. He declined to do
this, saying he did not feel called upon
to make written apology and that he
would trust to my fairness in reducing
to writing what he had said You are
instructed to make this incident known
to the minister OF foreign affairs by read
ing this instrument to him, and should
he 50 desire, give him copy. You will
express the surprise and dissatisfaction
with which the government naturally re-
agrds the conduct of a foreign envoy who
thus uses his influence through the press
to bias public opinion in a country whose
hospitality he enjoys, ana you will add
that the president would be pleased were

An autopsy on Smiths body was held

coroner's jury that Smith might have
come to his death by concussion of the
brain. He found some marks about the
neck, but no marks that would have re-
suited from having been hanged. Coro-
