! ORIENTAL PEACE NEGOTIATIONS

United states Minister DENLY Furnishes
Complete History.
Washington, July 2.-United States Min
lister DENLY. under date Of May 81, has
transmitted to the state department a
set of extracts from the Chinese official
newspapers giving a complete document
tary history of the peace negotiations by
China and Japan, beginning with the ia
panese note Of February II, insisting up
on the delegation with the Chinese am
bassador to bind his country to the terms
and ending with the draft of treaty of
peace which was signed at Shimoneski
April II. The points Of the correspondence
have been published from time to time
and the only feature of interest now pre-
scented is in the presentation Of the Chi
nese case by Ii Hung Chang, when he
induced the Japanese commissioners to
abate their demands in important respects
and the courteous but determined insist
ance Of the Japanese upon speedy con-
clusion of the negotiations.

Democrats Of That State Anxious for
Some Administration Thunder.
Washington. July 3.-Secretary Nor
ton has received letter from Tobias
Castor, the national committeeman
from Nebraska, urging the attendance
Of Secretary Carlisle and Secretary
Morton at the democratic state con-
vention, which is to be held next week.
The convention is to nominate some
minor state officials but efforts are ex-
pected to be made by the silver men,
headed by ex-Representative Bryan, to
secure a declartion upon the money
question.
The invitation to the two secretaries
was sent as the result Of a meeting of
the state central committee held to fix
the date Of the calling Of the convention,
and the letter to Secretary Morton was
sent the day after the meeting Of the
committee.
Mr.. Castor writes to Secretary Nor
ton that a great deal Of interest is be-
ing manifested and predicts if Carlisle
will attend it will insure the largest
convention of recent years.
He advocates the beginning of a
sound-money campaign now, in order
to have the party in good shape for
1896, and is confident that by judicious
work before that time Nebraska will
be brought into line for sound money.
Secretary Morton will urge Secretary
Carlisle to lend his aid to the sound
money movement in Nebraska and
agrees with Committeeman Castor in
predicting good results from it.

Spokane, w ASH, July 4

Spokane, Wash, July 4.
We the jury in the case OF the state of
Washington against Theodore Cushing,
find the defendant guilty of murder in the
second degree.
Such was the verdict rendered at 1870
this morning in the criminal department
of the superior court, presided over by
Judge Buck. Cushing sat stolidly in
the place that he has occupied through
out the long battle for his life or lib
erty, giving no outward sign of the
disappointment that he must have felt.
Immediately after the announcement Of
the verdict Judge Blake gave notice of
intention to move for new trial, with
the ultimate purpose of appeal, and
Cushing quietly walked back to Jail.
There were no demonstrations in the
court room until after adjournment,
whereupon several attorneys and other
spectators came forward and extended
congratulations to Prosecuting Attor-
ney Feighan and his associate counsel,
w. H. Ludden, upon their successful
management Of the first murder trial
under their administrati ton.

Representative Cody, who, by the way.

of this city will be closed next Sunday
and on every succeeding Sabbath until
the law in question is repealed. The
BARRIERS themselves have for long time

their unions have repeatedly passed

never carried out. The hotel proprietors
and some owners of large shops are on

that the legality Of the law will be con-

New York, July 3.-The Northern Pa
cif1c reorganization committee has not
made much progress toward completing
its plans. Chairman Adams stated to-
day that the London proposal Of guar
anty made by the Great Northern inter-
ests had been found impracticable ow-
ing to the Minnesota laws. The reor-
ganiZation committees counsel and the
lawyers Of the bankers interested in
the negotiations have expressed the
opinion, in which a great majority Of
the Great Northern party concur, that
until the necessary legislation is secured
the Great Northern company can not
fulfill the legal proposal Of the guar
anty made in it's interests. Still all of
the parties engaged in the negotiations
are acting in harmony in an effort to
re-establish and maintain harmonious
relations between the properties they
represent.
President James j. Hill Of the Great
Northern company, speaking in regard
to a statement made by Chairman Ad-
ans, says: "No such conclusion that
the plan is impracticable has been ar
rived at, and no authority for the in
dorsement Of any such statement in
behalf of Great Northern counsel could
be made. I am greatly surprised at any
such statement purporting to come from
Mr.. Adams"
Mr.. Hill could not make any state
ment of the status Of reorganization at
this time.
