would perhaps like to see this change;
lar elections of senators an entering
wedge to greater change, when
shall cut up the United States into
senatorial election districts, divided
not by state lines but according
to population. We are in no haste to see
the time when New England shall be
constituted into a single senatorial dis
trict, and New York, Pennsylvania and
other great states shall each be divided
into two or more such districts; and we
do not see how any citizen of a small
State can fail to look with jealousy upon
any proposition to disturb the existing
order of things, as regards the method of
electing senator's. The constitution, it
is true, now provides that no state shall
be deprived, without it's consent, of ITS
equal suffrage in the Senate; but when
the clause which provides that the sem
ators shall be elected by the legislatures
of the respective States has been repealed
and each State has been constituted an
election district, we may see next prop
osition to repeal the last clause of Arti-
Fle V OIL llc COlSlllulOIl, anu ~ give
the Congress power to divide the country
into sena Norial districts by population.
If that should carry, Vermont would per-
haps be entitled to a sixth or a tenth part
OF a senator, instead of two senator's. The
contingency may be remote as we shall
be told that it will be. But we cannot
regard it as an impossibilty, and the case
seems to us to be clearly one in which the
motto to resist beginnings" is a wise and
safe one to go by.

CHINA-.IAPAN WAR.

The Latest Advices Indicate That Sweet
Peace Is lowering over the Two Coun-
tries.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-Oficial adj
vices received at the japanese legation
yesterday from Japan indicate tNat an
understanding has been reached be-
tween the Japanese and Chinese p1eni-
potentiaries and that the news of the
definite conclusion of peace may be
expected at any time.
The exact terms of the peace cannot
as yet be ascertained, but it is under
stood that in response to the repeated
requests of the Chinese plenipoteDtia-
ries for an abatement of the demands
originally made by them, the Japanese
plenipotentiaries have granted some
concessions.
Brief as the foregoing message is, it
marks the close of the Japan-China
war, barring the possibility, OF course,
of some unexpected hitch at the last
moment. The announcement of the
exact terms of peace is yet to come.
but from what is known of the negotia-
tions thus far the general nature of the
peace is evident.

Four Men Killed, Two of Them by Deputy
Marshal In Self Defense.
CHICAGO, April 13.-The Times-Her-
AIDS Little Rock, Ark, special says:
Reports of a serious riot at Sloan
Springs were received here yesterday
afternoon Four men were killed and
others seriously hurt. For some
months there has been trouble
among the men employed on the
railroad construction work near
the Springs, they being made
up of foreign-born and native citi-
zens. Two or three weeks ago there
was a row which for time threatened
bloodshed. After supper Thursday
night, two men, Clendening and Flem-
ing, got into a quarrel about some
trivial affair and in no manner con-
nected with the past trouble. They
drew pistols and before they could be
restrained fred several shots at each
other, both being fatally wounded
The encounter drew together all the
meu in the camp and when the dis
putahts fell on the ground the pent up
excitement burst, precipitating a riot,
the men fighting each other like tigers.
Shot after shot was fred and knives,
clubs and stones were used. Deputy
United States Marshal Proctor hasten
ed to the scene and ordered the men to
dispense. He was attacked by three
or four persons and in self-defense was
compelled to kill two of his assailants.
He was wounded seriously. but his ac-
ton stopped the fight and prevented
further bloodshed. Several arrests
were made, but good many of those
who engaged in the fight escaped.

SPEED OF DUCKS AND GEESE.
the Ducks Made sixy-six and Two
Thirds Miles an Hour.

OF all the migratory birds the
American wild pigeon and black
duck are well up toward the front as
regards long and rapid fight. The
speed ofthe pigeons can only be es-
timated, while that of the ducks can
bcestablished by observation. Some
year, ago the writer and scientific
friend measured off on the shore of
.arge western river line exactly
three miles long, and each took a
station at opposite ends of the line.
The object was to note, by means OF
preconccrted signals, the time a
lock Of wild ducks took in passing
up or down the river near the sta
;ions.
During three hours on the morn
ing of a bright October day observa-
tons We're noted of the times of pass
ing the stations of nine different
tiocks. Upon comparing watches it
was found that the average time was
two minutes and forty-two seconds.
thus showing the speed per hour to
be sixty.six and two thirds miles, or
one mile in fifty-four seconds. AS
showing how uniform was their
flight, difference wasfound of only
FIVE seconds between the greatest
and the least intervals of time.
As numerous focks OF wild geese
we're daily flying in the same neigh
hoodobservations were also taken
70 te>t their hourly speed. Two
points twenty-nine and one-third
miles apart, were selected, both Of
which were connected by telegraph.
W. succeeded in identifying four
ulof seven flocks which passed over
6oth places during the four days we
were on the watch. The mean hourly
speed. was found TO be a fraction
OYER iitly.four miles. The wild goose
has been long supposed to be the
,wiftc,tof all water fowl, but this
experiment shows that he is far be-
hind thewild duck. N. Y. World.
