RUSSIA is GROWLING
TERMS IMPOSED ON CHINA BY JAPAN
NOT SATISFACTORY.
Scmi-OfiicinI Threat That May Stay the
Peace OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in
PanfcIxy State.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-7The unmistak-
able threat against Japan held out by Rus
sia in the short notice in its semi-offical
organ, the Nova Vremya, has caused much
surprise in diplomatic circles here. 1t was
supposed that Russia had a good under
standing with Japan as to the terms of
peace to be held out to China; that there
was an entire agreement upon the PROPOSE
tions touching Corean independence, the
QUESTION by Japan of Formosa and Port
Arthur and the exaction of an indemnity.
AS to Great Britain, which appears
to be reproached with failing to maintain
a stiff front against Japanese demands
where they involved the accession of terri
tory, it has all along been understood that
she was the one power that was disposed
to resist aggressons. and was only pre-
vented from actual interference through in
ability to secure the cooperation of Rus
sia in such movements The Russo-Japa-
nese agreement was understood to include
the concession to Russia of a right of way
through Corea for the Siberian railway, to
afford winter terminus, and it is suggest
ed that the change in her attitude may be
accounted for by the possible failure of this
part of the programme by the Japanese
undertaking TO guarantee the absolute inde-
.pendence of Corea, thus preventing the ac-
quisition of the needful territory for the
right of way and the terminal facilities

NOVEL CASE OF PERJURY.
A Cripple Caught I'm an Attempt to
Swindle the Pennsylvania Railway.

CLEVELAND, o., April LIN the United
States Court. to-day, John G. Llantze plead
ed guilty to the charge of perjury in con-
nection with suit brought by him against
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for
damages received in the wreck at Shreve,
o., on Sept q, 1892. Lantze. who is badly
crippled and an invalid, claimed to have
received permanent injuries and sued the
railroad company for $4,000. His condition
was such that the Pennsylvania Company
offered him 1000 to settle, but this was
refused Finally the road in some way re-
ceived information which led to the belief
that Lantze a swindler, and detectives
were put on his case. 1t was then discov-
cred that Lantze had not been on the
wrecked train at ali, and had received his
injuries months before, and that his real
name was Lantzbaugh. A man by the
name of John Lantze had been on the
wrecked train, but received no injury and
had no ground for action. The latter it
was shown, had fixed up the scheme with
Lantze, who was already crippled, TO i'm
personate him and sue for damages.

tive statement of the terms of peace being

to $685., 600 in silver it is said the actual
value would be between 10000, 600 and s22o :

ELKINS FOR FREE SILVER.
He Is Not a Candidate for President,
HoyveVeP.

LOS ANGELES. Cal, April n.-"Being
a Senator is good enough or me-" said
Hon. S. b. Elkins when asked If there
was any foundation for the statement made
in dispatch recently sent out from Gin
cinnati that the West Virginia Senator
would be in the race for the presidency
at the next Republican convention. The
dispatch based the Senator's chances on
his extensive business connections in the
East which would make him strong in that
section and his silver ideas would attract
the West. AS to the latter Mr. Elkins
said: II am unqualifedly in favor of free
silver, and shall work with the West in an
endeavor to give 1t proper place. As to
can say nothing now. Put me down a
solid silver man, though You can au-
thoritatively say, however, that i am not
a candidate for the presidency. for. as 1
said, 1 am perfectly satisfied with repre-
senting West Virginia in the Senate"
