CUDAHY THREATENED IF HE
DOES NOT WITHDRAW REWARD

Omaha, Dec BE. A. Cudahy, the
millionaire packer, has received q Sec
ond communication from the men who
kidnapped his son. This time, as for
merly, the letter contains threat, and
says In substance that unless he with
draws his offer of $4,000 reward for
the arrest and conviction of each of the
three bandits they will kidnap another
Of his children.
The letter refers to the failure OF the
police to get anything like tangible
clue as to the identity of the kidnap-
eB, SCOTS at the idea of Pat Groves
being one Of them, mentions the ease
with which the first job was pulled
on" and concludes by saying that if
Mr.. Cudahy is as wise as he showed
himself in the first instance he will
comply with the request and with.
draw the rewards at once
The letter is written with pen and
ink, on the same kind of yellow paper
as the first, and evidently by the same
person. 1t was found by servant of
the Cudahy household early on the
morning of Thursday, December 9th.
Some one called up the house by tele-
phone and asked if Mr.. Cudahy was in.
The servant answered that he was not.
Well came the voice over the tele-
phone. you can 20 out in the front
yard and you'll find letter there near
the gate. 1t is addressed to Mr.. Cuda-
by. See that its delivered to him per-
sonally, and to no one else"
The servant went out at once and
found a letter 1t was in plain white
envelope and was addressed:

CHINA ACCEPTS
TERMS OF PEACE

Paris, Dec. 31.-Prince Ching and Ii
Hung Chang have communicated to
the foreign envoys an imperial edict in
which the emperor declares that China
accepts the joint note and authorizes
Prince Ching and Lii Hung Chang to
negotiate and to ask for a suspension
of hostilities.
Pekin, Dec. 31.-The Chinese plenipo-
tentiaries have been unexpectedly or
dered to sign the preliminary joint note
and have notified the foreign ENJOYS to
that effect The Chinese themselves
We're greatly astonished at receiving
the imperial instructions, Neither Lii
Hung Chang nor Prince Ching had ex-
pected success in persuading the court
under ten days.
The emperor's instructions are to
agree fully to the note. but then en-
deavor to get the best terms possible,
particularly in the matter of limiting
the number of the legation guards and
also as to the places where these are
to be located.
The plenipotentiaries are instructed
to endeavor to limit the number Of
army posts along the line of railway
to as few as possible, and finally to re-
quest the powers not to destroy the
forts, but merely to disarm them.
Lii Hung Chang's health Is bad and
it Is doubtful whether he will be able
to do more than affix his signature to
an instrument, delegating his powers
to Prince Ching until another plenipo-
tentiary has been appointed. He was
dressed this morning and carried in a
chair to the residence of Prince Ching,
with whom he held long consulta-
tion. Prince Ching then called upon the
doyen of the diplomatic corps, the
Spanish minister, Senior de Oologan,
and requested him to notify the other
ENJOYS that instructions had been re-
ceived from the emperor to sign the
note.

Woman's Advancement,

Chillicothe, Mo-, Dec. 81.-Hall
Caine, writing 10 the Sorosis, local
woman's club, under date Of Greeba
castle, Isle of Man, says:
when one considers what the posi-
ton of woman was, even in the most
civilized countries, as recently IS 100
years ago. and how high place she
has now won for herself, not only In
the statute books of nations, but in
the field of art, one cannot but feel
that the change is even more remark
able than some of the great material
developments which have distinguish.
ed the century.
Speaking as one who has seen life
in many countries, l feel that 1t is
within the truth to say that the posi-
tion of woman is higher in America
than in any other part Of the world.
For this season American women
have, no doubt, to thank their own
natural gifts and great independence
of mind, but they have also, think,
to be grateful to the splendid chivalry
in the other sex. which k nowhere
more conspicuous than In the best type
of American gentlemen" - N,

Social barriers Downed at oxford.

London, Dec. 31.-The gradual re-
moval of the social barriers which for
merly restricted English political and
education life was never better in
stanced than by the appointment this
week of Mr.. Joseph Owen to a fellow
ship at oxford.
Six years ago Mr.. Owen was mill
hand at Oldham, helping to support his
poor parents. He attended at night the
university extension lectures, and so
much ability did he show that the lee
turers got up IA fund and sent him TO
the great university. where, with his
wife. he settled down in humble cot
tage. He knew no Greek and little
Latin. His first success came when he
won the Brackenburg history scholar
ship, to the surprise of many learned,
aristocratic competitors. -Four years of
determined, uphill work passed and
the final examinations drew hear On
a position in these depended Mr..
Owens whole future.
A few weeks before the ordeal his
young wife died suddenly Mr. Owens
friends thought it impossible for him
to accomplish anything, but the mill
hands grit stood the strain and Mr..
Owen gained the coveted first class
with the degree. His appointment as
extension lecturer quickly followed,
and Mr.. Owen lectured, where, six
years previous, he had learned. The
climax in his career came this week,
when Pembroke College elected Mr..
Owen, out of all the Oxonians, to the
lucrative and honored post of fellow
ship.

COLLAPSE OF STOCKS
ON LONDON MARKET

London, Dec. 3O.-The London &
Globe Finance Corporation, Limited,
has suspended payment. When the
brokers yesterday delivered stock pur-
chased on account of the London &
Globe and asked for payment they re-
ceiyed checks which We're dishonored.
This was followed today by the fail
ure on the Stock Exchange of twelve
firms, as follows:
Haggard, Hale & Pixley, Garle &
Driver. Douglas. Jr.. & Co.. Cornfoot
Bros, +. A. Cohen, Blockey & Bucking-
ham, Gum 4 Aubrey, Richards 4
Sloper, Baker x Smith, L. c. Watts 4
Co., Flower 4 Co.. and F. Boully l.
Co.
The first named is big firm with
important connections. 1t is feared
number of smaller jobbers will be af
fected.
4 While the difficulties of the firms
closely connected with the London X
Globe division We're largely discount
ed. the repeated fall Of the hammer
this morning caused Il great sensation.
1t is feared the full list Of failures is
not yet known.
Trouble was disclosed on the Stock
Exchange yesterday in the West Aus
Htralian market, resulting in consider
Vlble fall in the shares of the London
* Globe Finance Corporation. limited,
and lie Roi Mining Company, limited.
Seven firms had checks returned by
the clearing house. This, the dispatch
added, does not imply failure, however,
as it is expected that the usual period
of grace allowed will enable the firms
to meet their engagements.
Almost the whole interest on the
Stock Exchange to-day centered in the
West Australian market, the condition
of which sympathetically affected the
others. All the shares of the London
& Globe group toppled. especially
Lakeyiews and lie Roi No. 2 The
shares of the latter were yesterday
saleable at 4. The London 4 Globe is
also heavily involved in the British
Columbian market The situation is
not yet cleared up, as the rumors of
arrangements to assist the London Il
Globe are not credited in well-in-
formed circles. There is the greatest
Indignation against Whitaker Wright,
who is the fountain-head Of the con-
Germ, and others of the London d
Globe group. There has been some
Rslat Of a recovery in Lakeview since
st evening.
The chairman of the London & Globe
Finance Corporation, limited, is the
Marquis of Dufferin and Ava, the for
mer governor general of Canada, and
British ambassador at Paris. The fail
ure Of the concern of which he is the
head adds one more sorrow to the clos
~ chapter of his life, for he is to-day
preparing to start for South Africa, in
company with Lady Dufferin, in con-
sequence Of the serious condition Of his
son, Lord Frederick Temple Black
wood, the lieutenant in the Ninth Ian
GERS, who was wounded Monday at
Glenfontein. 1t is scarcely year ago
since Lord Dufferin lost his eldest son,
the Bari Of Ava, who died at Lady
