that reason Italy protested and then sum-

of those lynched. 1t is said the same rule
would now apply to affairs against English
men, as such, but not to miscellaneous
mobs including some Englishmen.

FOR LAW AND ORDER
ALABAsfA,s DEFRAUDED PoPULIsTs
Now FOR PEACE.
They Praise Kolb and Say Dual
ificaI News of All Sorts.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 1.-THE Ala
bama executive committee of the Peoples
party met here with a large attendance to-
day. Capt. r. f. K0lb and candidates on
his ticket were present. Shortly after the
meeting convened Chairman S. NJ. Adams
read lengthy communication from Kolb,
in which he urged upon the committee the
necessity for calling special session Of
the Legislature. At midnight the commit
tee adjourned, after having adopted an ad-
dress to the people of the State, in which
they declare in favor of law and order and
deprecate any unlawful undertaking. They
score the Democratic party for its alleged
failure to fulfill promises by passing con-
test law which does not apply to Koib's
case. They do not deem dual govern
ment advisable, claiming that should one be
established Cleveland would send federal
troops to Alabama and put down their gov
ernment. They set up the claim that 1O0,-
900 voters have pettioned Congress to es-
tablish a republican form of government
in Alabama, which, they claim, does not
exist. They commend Captain Kolb for his
forebearance, and indorse his recommenda-
ton that an extra session of the Legisla-
ture be called. They concluded by mapping
out a plan of campaign by strengthening
their organization, and predict national sue
cess next year.

Island of FOrmOsa May BE Coded and
Wef-Hai-Wei Accorded.
COREA TO BE INDEPENDENT
THE CASH INDEMNITY, FIXED AT
s25O,0OO,OOO IN GOLD.
Important Concessions Regarding
vices from the Seat of War.

WASHINGTON, March E.-As a result of
the negotiations between Minister Dun, in
Japan, and Minister DENLY, in China the
terms of the peace about to be concluded
between sChina and Japan are now known
with little short of exactness. AS under
stood in high official circles they are as
follows:
First-The treaty between Japan and
China has ceased to exist by reason of the
war, but on the renewal of peace the new
treaty Will grant Japan extraterritorial
jurisdiction over China. but the latter coun-
jurisdiction she formerly held in Japan.
Second-There will be no extension of
But the island of Formosa, a Chinese pos
session lying off the coast, will be perma-
nently ceded to Japan.
Third-The Japanese will by treaty be
granted the right to continue the occupa-
ton OF Port Arthur and Wei-Hai-Wei, the
two great naval stations leading to the Gulf
OF Pe-Chi-L for term of years
Fourth-The claims of China that Corea
ls dependency of hers shall be forever re-
Fifth--The cash indemnity to be paid by
China VIII not exceed $250,C00,000 in gold.
The foregoing terms give number of
new features which the cable information
from Picking and Toxic has not thus far
disclosed. The purpose not to extend jap
anese territory on the mainland, but to con-
assures the conclusion of a peace without
European Intervention. The maintenance of
5Japans extraterritorial jurisdiction in
China while the latter country surrenders
similar jurisdiction, leaves China as the
only Oriental country submitting to the
jurisdiction. Until recently all civilized ma
tions have insisted that the courts were so
primitive and punishment so barbarous in
both China and Japan that consular courts
should protect foreigners residing in these
countries. Japan has recently negotiated
new set, of treaties with the United States,
Great Britain and other countries in which
her modern court procedure is recognized
and consular courts abandoned. In con-
formity with this new system Japan now
dominates China's consular courts in Japan,
although Japan's consular courts in China
are to be continued. This presents a singu-
lar spectacle of China conceding the ad-
vance of Japan into modern methods while
at the same time conceding that she is still
in the benighted condition recurring extra
territorial, jurisdiction to protect foreigners
in China
Probably the most important concession
is JapanS occupation of Port Arthur and
Wef-Hai-Wei for a term of years. This will
assure continuance of the peace for many
years, as China. is In no condition to renew
hostilities so long as the gateway to Peking
and to ChinaS commerce is guarded on
either side by the great fortreSSeS which
China grants 10 Japan for a term of years.
Japan will give a rich and fertile country
to the Japanese. The productions of the
island are very extensive. Moreover, there
are extensive tracts of arabic land we'll
be desired to withdraw the Japanese from
Hawaii.
