WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The pur-
pose of Japan is to evacuate Port
Arthur and the Lao Tung peninsula
by Feb. 16 next, which is three months
from the date of the payment by
China of SO,OOO,OOO taels agreed upon
for the evacuation. While three
months is fixed as the time within
which the evacuation may be made,
it is probable that the japanese will
not take the limit of time, but will set
about retiring from Port Arthur i'm
mediately upon the payment of the
30,000,0 600 taels on next Tuesday, as the
cost of the maintenance of an army
is very heavy.
1t is understood also that further
feature of the treaty for the surrender
of Port Arthur is that it's evacuation
by Japan will not be followed by a,
cession of the fortress to any other
power. An official statement to this
effect has been made and is credited
here. but the Japanese legation has
received no official advices.
Late mail advices to the legation
satisfy the officials that the rebellion
in Formosa is over and that the rebel
leader has surrendered. He offered to
make a conditional surrender some
time ago; but the Japanese would not
give conditions to rebels Since then
the officials believe he has yielded I'M
conditionally, and the war or rebel
lion is at an end.

| BOSTON. Nov. 12.-Nearly 5000 peo-
pie attended mass meeting in Fan
ueil hall tonight to protest against the
practice of lynching and burning me-
groes in southern and other states.
The meeting was held under the aus
pices of the various colored societies Of
Boston and vicinity. The speeches
were made by both white and coIored
men and were vigorously applauded.
Mayor Curtis presided and among
the speakers were Congressman Morse,
Judge Edward Walker and Father
Scully. At the conclusion of the
speeches, Hon. George L. Downing
presented the following resolution,
which was adopted unanimously:
we condemn without any reserva-
ton the lynching. mutflating. the
roasting alive of men and women,
now commonly practiced in parts of
our country-so commonly practiced as
to arrest the attention of the world
We condemn this God-defying heart

cans, made to hold our heads down in

ports which reach us OF men Dorm IN

consuming fires, with all the conse-
quent agOnieS. with the outraged pite-
ously entreating their heartless tor
mentors for mercy, protesting their in
nocence even while in the very Jaws
of death, while gazing implOringly,
that is if their eyes have not been
gouged out, upon men, women and
children assembled from miles around

we emphatically state that we
would not stand in the way of a. just
and full punishment of all crimes. but
the law of the land must be respected
in melting out such punishment. All
persons charged with crime are enti-
tied to a fair trial before a jury OF
their peers.

gard of the supreme law of the land

her firm conviction that the charge is
false; that 1t is manufactured to APP
peal to a sentiment calculated to cover
up and palliate to a great extent the
burning alive of black men-the real
design being concealed, which is to

FLOUR WAR.
PRICES ON LEADING BRANDS CUT
IN CHICAGO.
Cauaed BY an Attempt Upon the
Part of Wholesale Grocers to
Form a Combination With the
MiIIerS.

CHICAGO, Nov. ia local paper says:
Growing out of an attempt on the part
of a majority of the wholesale grocers
in this city to form combination with
the big northwestern millars, flour war
has broken out Prices on the leading
brands have been cut sharply by the local
grocers.
Last week the Washburn-Crosby COM
pany was approached by representatives
of the wholesale grocers and asked to
put limit price on flour.
The reason assigned for the request
was that cutting was going on and by
combining what is known as a factor
basis an established price might be fixed
whereby they would nominally act as
agents for the millers and those who
would not accept terms given to factors
on a mutual equality basis of selling
prices be shut off from the advantages
given to factors.
The Washburn-Crosby company refused
to go into the combination. Thereupon
the grocerS who were working FOR the
new plan retaliated by cutting the prices
on other brands of four
The discovery OF the attempt to put the
combination factor plan into the flour
trade caused no end OF comment among
grocers and jobbers. The attention of
Attorney General Molony has been called
to 1.-THE growing tendency among the
grocers to establish prices by agreement,
since the plan went into operation with
the sugar trust, and interesting develop
ments may be looked for.

A GREAT HAUL.
STARTLING DISCOVERIES IN THE
CHAFFEE CASE.
Over One Hundred and Seventy
Thousand Dollars Worth of
Plumber Has Been Sccured--NIany
of the Articles Identified.

BOSTON, Nov. 1.-THE arrest of
James Steven Chaffee of this city by
the police yesterday and the recovery
of over $4,000 worth of stolen plumber,
was followed tonight by even mere
startling discoveries. In addition to
the property recovered yesterday,
stocks and bonds to the value of Sal, :
600 (par value) were brought to the
inspectors Office.
This afternoon Chief Inspector Watts
and Assistant Inspector Dugan accom-
panied the prisoner, Chaffee, to his
house ON Mount Vernon street for the
purpose of unearthing more plumber
which Chaffee had secreted in the cold
air box of the furnace in his cellar
The cellar was searched, but nothing
was found. The party went back to
headquarters and were surprised to
find Mrs. Chaffee awaiting their re-
turn. After some hesitation she in
formed Chief Watts that if he would
bring her husband home again she
would hand over the stocks and bonds
She said she had removed the box
containing the money from the cold
air box in the cellar. The police drove
to the Chattee mouse again and Mrs.
Chaffee went to the back stairway and
brought out the box from underneath
the stairs.
An agreement was found signed by
Mrs. William Barrett, by which she
turned over all her husbands property
to Chaffee-
Barrett is a notorious criminal now
serving a life sentence for murder in
this state and Chaffee claimed when
arrested last night that all the stuff
which was found on his premises had
been given to him by Barrett in return
for his having spent a great deal of
money in Barrett's defense at the time
of the murder trial. JShe total amount
of plumber secured by the police now
reaches $4,000 in value.
Mrs. Ames, widow of the late mil
lionafre Frederick L. AneS of this city,
called at the inspectors Office this af-
ternoon and identified a number of ar
ticles which were stolen from her resi-
dence several years ago. She also rec
ognized several articles which were ste-
len from the northeastern residence of
the late Ex-Governor Oliver Ames.
Many others called during the day
and some of the smaller articles were
identified. The police do not place much
faith in the story circulated today that
Chaffee is a brother of William Bar
rett. Chaffee will probably be arraign-
ed in the morning.
