Mrs. Graham's Address.

Mrs. Margaret Collier Graham gave delight.
ful address on Tuesday afternoon to a large
audience who assembled in Laurel Hall, 80
ofarrell street, to attend the inaugural exer-
clses OF the San Francisco Lyceum of Expres.
sion. Mrs. Edna Smell Poulson made the open-
Ing address introducing the lyceum to the pub
lie and Mrs. Graham to the audience. Mrs.
Graham's paper was on "Modern Fiction, and
was full OF keen logic and flashing wit leveled
at the romanticists in fiction and at the cow
ardice that prevents the pnblic of to-day from
recognizing that we have at the present time
the best talent in fiction that the world has
ever known. "We are SO afraid of our own
time; so willing to attach ourselves to that
which has stood the test of years; so anxious
to hide our inability to discriminate behind
the worlds verdict. We feel so safe about
Shakespeare and Milton and Plato and Aris-
totle, and SO wavering and helpless about
Meredith and Hardy and Howells and James.
and all the time we are making for ourselves
the record that the contemporaries of Keats
and OF Shelly and even of Shakespeare made" )"

u Hung chnnr Returns % chIna.

LONDON, April 1S.-Tho Times pub
fishes today dispatch from Kobe saying
that the Japanese refuse to disclose the
terms upon which peace has been arranged
with China until tho treaty is ratified,
which must be within three weeks. The
armistioe, therefore. is extended to May
8. Vioeroy Ii Hung Chang and his suit,
The Times correspondent adds, left Simo-
noseki on his return TO China.
A rumor that. the Japanese plenipoten-
tiarles abated their demands created much
excitement Seven newspapers of Tokyo
have been suppressed, and an imperial or
dinanoe will shortly bo promulgated adopt
ing stringent measures against disaffec-
tion.
A dispatch from Hongkong says It is re-
ported that the cession by China Of tho is-
land Of Formosa to Japan dissatisfes the
British thore. Tho dispatch adds that
the Chinese soldiers threaten TO kill their
commanders If the island is cedod
A Berlin dispatch says in reference to
the Chinese edict that the import duties
at the open ports shall not exceed per
cent that a communication duty Of 2 per
cent on the original cost Of imports into
China represents to all intents and pur-
poses diiferential duty against Europe in
favor Of Japan
Editorlally The Times says it presumes
that tho independence of Korea really
means moro or less thorough japanese
proteotorate It adds that when the ex-
act terms Of the treaty are known Euro
pean diplomacy win probably make a
show OF considering them, but il the Jap
aneso refuse, as thoy presumably will, to
listen to diplomatic exhortations it is diff
cult to conceive that any more effective
interference with their plans need be So
riously apprehended.
"A dispatch to Tho Standard from Wen
ma says it Is unusual to combine a treaty
of peace with treaty Of alliance, and it
is probable, therefore, that a separate
treaty, not destined for publication, has
been signed by the Japanese and Chinese
representatives.
Whether or not this treaty takes tho
form Of an offensive and defensive alliance
matters little. since it Is known that Ii

WASHINGTON. April is. 1T is announo-

OPENS CHINA TO TRADE
New Treaty Unbars a Vast Field
to Commercial Enterprise.
THE oNEROUs IIEIE TAX TO GO.

Ii Hung Chang, Having Completed His
Work, Returns to China. and European
Nations Are Anxious to Know the Details
Of the Treaty aud May Interfere.
WASHINGTON, April 1s.-United States
Minister Dun at Tokyo has been heard
from in an announcement of tho conclu-
sion Of a treaty Of peace between China
and Japan, but he apparently does not
know upon what terms the agreement has
been reached, for he has nothing specific
to say upon that point The Chinese and
japanese legations here are in equal ig-
norance as the exact conditions.
1t is believed here that Japan has secur-
ed the abolition of the likin tax, by which
is meant the tax imposed upon goods trans
ported from one point In China to another
in addition 20 tho regular customs tax
This has been the object Of all occidental
diplomats accredited to China for many
years, and the officials Of the state depart
ment feel that all civilized nations Will
owe q debt OF gratitude to Japan for thus
removing a most onorons burden upon
their commerce with China for 1t Is not
believed that the concession would be
made in the interest of Japan alone.
Should Japan, however, be the only
beneficiary as regards this tax, IL is fully
expected that strong protest win be
made by the powers, which would be
greatly handicapped in the competition
with Japan for Chinese trade unless they
could claim the Same privileges Of exemp-
tion under the favored nation clauses Of
their treaties.
The loss of the likin tax viii be very
severely felt by China. 1t averages about
100000 taels per annum, and China
will supply the deficit in revenue with
great difficulty. The total revenues OF the
country were estimated by competent
British consular officer in 1883 at 60 000,-
600 taels per annum, and as the customs
taxes are limited by treaty TO per cent
it is a matter Of much speculation as to
how the country viii raise tho large in
demnity demanded by Japan.

Demands OF Extraordinary importance.
Affairs at the insane hospital have

"There Is no more worthy charge Of

Stats Hospital at Farnhurst and the

securing this appropriation and much
more liberal consideration from the
General Assembly than they have had
heretofore.

Gradually the population grew to about

Thus, in building intended to
