He used every possible effort, he ssys,
to stop the car. The motorman OF the
franklin avenue car, also apprehensive
of q collision, turned his lever es fast as
he could, but both cars were carried
along by their momentum, and they
came together on the crossing with
loud crash, which came near hurting
them off the tracks. The passengers

A Refusal to Surrender = Negro MUIR
derer the Cause OF the
Trouble.

CINCINNATI, O., Jan. "A special to
the Commercial.Gszette from Frank
fort. KY, says:
Governor John Young Brown has
given out what he had to say of the re-
fussl OF Judge Buchwslter to deliver to
Kentucky officer Rev. A. Hampton,
alias Jackson, who was captured in the
Avondale Colored Baptist church last
Sunday night, on requisition from
Governor Brown, granted by Governor
Mckinley, to deliver Hampton to the
state Of Kuntucky to answer for shoot.
ing. with intent to kill. Governor Brown
Gays that Judge Buchwalter's condition
for returning Hampton-that the gov
ernOr and the sheriff ehsll first give q
written guarantee that he will be pro-
tected from violence-ia true 40 re-
ported, oontravenes the constitution OF
the United States, which requires the
states to surrender fugitives from Justice.
The refusal was the more exasperating
from the fact that the prisoner admitted
the fact of the accusation against him
for which he is wanted in Kentucky.
The governor says Judge Buchwalter's
erraignment Of the state of Kentucky WAS
unwarranted in fact and was to be regret
ed for the tendency, If it had any in.
huence, to destroy any comfy between
the states. Exaspersted people in Ken
lucky and Ohio had resorted to mob
violence only in extreme cases, yet the
civil authorities in every case endeav-
ored to let the law have ita course.
Moreover, there is no report that Judge
Buch walter made any effort to rebuke
the violence OF the mob that on Sunday
night attempted to rescue Hampton
from the officers when they arrested
him. His demand for the guarantee of
Kentucky officials is an attempt to
amend the law of the nation on this
matter. 1t assumes authorities not
thought of by Governor Mckinley g
warrants as we'll az violates federal law.
The logic OF such a decision, if made q
rule, would be to make Kentucky fugit-
ives from justice seek an asylum in
Ohio. His self-respect and his regard
for the dignity OF the state of Kentucky
forbid that he should ever give any
such humiliating guarantee. Hampton
is in no danger of mob violence and
never was in any danger of it,"
Governor Brown does not believe the
judiciary of Ohio will uphold Buch-
walter in these views but if they sh ould
DO adopted "a rule he might rstaliate
when acquisitions were made on him for
fugitives from Ohio.

An Import ant Clue to the Butchery of the
Webbers.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. Ever since the
murder OF f. H. L. Wehber and wife
last Saturday night the police and the
sheriff and his deputies, who have been
making Investigations. have been with
out the slightest clue as to the identity
OF the murderer or muIderers. A gen.
! eral opinion prevailed that the crime
was committed by Chinese, it being ar
gued. even by some of the shire wdist
detectives, that the manner OF the
butchery resembled the work generally
done by Mongolians. They said that
when white burglar starts out he in.
variably takes with him pistol and
slungshot. Sometimes he carries dag
ger, but he does not incumber himself
with an axe or a Ratchet. Those weap-
ons are common instruments OF murder
among the Chinese.
1t has been principally upon this sort
OF reasoning that the officers have been
endeavoring TO implicate some Chinese
in the crime at Webber's house, but
that theory has been exploded by q dis

Japan VIII Probably Change the Condi-

By THE HERALD's Leased Wire.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-It is the belief
OF officials in position to know the
status of affairs between Japan and
China, that Japan will declare the peace
negotiations off unlesa China hsHtens
them. There is increased irritation on
the part OF Japan as to the delays in pre-.
senting definite proposals. More than
q month has passed since it WAS agreed
that g tender of peace conditions would
be considered bv Japan. and as yet the
conditions have not been offered and
there ia doubt as to Ohins's plenipoten-
tiaries having the right to make any
final offers.
INCREASED DEMAND.
Already the Japanese government ia
inclining to the unanimous demand OF
the native press to make far greater de.
mands than were contemplated when
the peace negotiations began. At that
time the general understanding was
that the basis OF peace negotiations
would be cash indemnity and the inds-
psndeDce of Oorea. Now, however,
there is an intinstion that Japan may
no longer accept the two conditions as
proposed, but may insist also on
China's ceding extensive territory.
CHINA MUST GET A MOVE ON.
Thie sentiment ia universal and it is
believed Japan will seon make it known
to China. probably through Minister
Dun at Toxic, that procraatination in
presenting the terms OF settlement is
such that the negotiations will be ADAM
doned unlesn closed within q re reasonable
and definite time.
There are evidences that japan is pre-
pared for an aggressive movement, cal
culated to Impress China and tho plsni-
potentiaries with Japan's ability to in
crease the advantage ehe has already
secured. A gentleman who has been
some years in diplomatic service in
China and ia an authority on interna-
tional customs, points out that ii is an

absolute power to her plenipotentiariee,
