TERMS OF PEACE ARE NOT KNOWN What Eitrst tHu Not Been Announced --What Caused tbe Delay in the Negotiations. Washington, April 12. Official ad vices received at tbe Japanese legation today from Japan, indicate that an un derstanding has been reached between the Japanese and Chinese plenipoten tiaries, and news of the definite conclu sion of peace may be expected at any time. Tbe exact terms of peace cannot be ascertained, but it is understood that in response to the repeated requests of the Chinese plenipotentiaries have granted some concessions. As brief as the foregoing official mea sage is, it marks tbe 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 to come, but from what is known of the negotiations thus far, the general nature of the terms is evident. It was officially announced that the terms being insisted on were as follows: First The independence of Corea. Second The permanent cession of the island of Formosa to Japan. Third An indemnity of 300,000,000 taels, Chinese money. ' . Fourth The permanent occupation of Port Arthur and immediate surrounding territory. w Fifth A new Japan-China treaty, opening China to commerce. Tbe two conditions which have caused trouble are the permanent occupation of Fort Arthur and the payment of 300, 000,000 taels. While no official informa tion is available, and no statement what ever regarding the terms of peace can be . obtained, probably these are the only conditions in which the Japanese pleni potentiaries have yielded. Just how much they have yielded on the ooenpa tion of Port Arthnr may have vital con sequences. If J.hey have yielded entirely it removes Japan from all occupancy of the mainland and from the strategic command of the Gulf of Pecbili, leading to Peking. At one time Japan was will ing to occupy Port Arthur for a term of years, and this may be the ground of agreement, although it is necessarily conjectural at present. The purpose of a temporary occupation, it is said, would be to prevent China from rearming and retaliating against Japan for a term of years, at least. If the money demand has been reduced, little significance will attach to the fact, except that it will lighten China's burden. ' ' The Assault on Chans;. Toxio, March 29. Correspondence of the United Press, per - steamer Coptic On March 24, the third conference of the peace plenipotentiaries took place. It began at 3 p. m., and lasted nntil 4:30, and when the plenipotentiaries separated a satisfactory termination of the war was within sight. The viceroy, Li, entering his palanquiu, was carried rapidly to ward his lodging. So narrow was the street that a space of only nine feet re roained clear on either side of the palan quin. In that space policemen were stationed throughout the entire distance at short intervals. When more than two-thirds had been traversed of tbe 600 yards separating the conference building from the viceroy's, a pistol was fired by a man standing under the eaves of a sandal-maker's shop. The viceroy threw up bis head and raised bis hand to his left cheek, from which blood was flowing copiously. A moment after ward he was in the hands of his French and Chinese physicians. . It was found Highest ot &u m i,caciing Power. V3C i vv cy , that a bullet had penetrated a little be low the left eye and grazing the cheek bone bad lodged under the nose. Tbe excitement and indignation caused by the event were indeBcrible. The Japanese plenipotentiaries hastened to the viceroy's lodging to inquire and con dole. ' Count Ito telegraphed to the em peror in Hiroshima asking that the two chief court physicians be despatched at once to attend tbe illustrious patient. The emperor issued a rescript declaring that the country had been dishonored, and invoking his subjects everywhere to guard against Buch national disgrace. Tbe empress dispatched two nurses with bandages rolled by her own hands. The nobles, the houses of the diet, the jour nalists, the chamber of commerce, the universities, the public schools, the municipalities, the prefectures all sent telegrams of condolence and delegates to express their profound sorrow. The viceroy's assailant proved to be a youth of 26, by name Koyama Roknn osuke. Of small stature, meager frame generally insignificant appearance, and wearing the ehabbiest of garments, he seemed the last person in tbe world to be plotting, single-handed against the life of a foreign empire's greatest states man, surrendering quietly a rusty six shooter that he carried in his sleeve, he walked to prison with the police and answered the questions of the magistrate without the least perturbation.. His father was a member of the prefectural assembly of the Gumma prefecture, away up in tbe north of Japan. Watch ing tbe course of events for some years back, Bokunosuke had come to the con clusion that as tbe control of China's in terference in Corean affairs was vested in the Viceroy Li, on him also rested the ultimate responsibility for all Corea's foreign complications.. ' There could be no permanent peace in the Orient bo long as the viceroy lived. - Hence he de termined to kill the old statesman, and had even projected a voyage to China for that purpose, but his means 'proved in sufficient. : Barely by great economy, had be succeeded in traveling 600 miles to Simonosaki, procuring en route an ancient six-shooter in Yokohama. ( Dlseuss the Income Tax. .New Yobk, April 12. A conference was held yesterday between represents tives of several transatlantic steamship companies to discuss the subject of the 2 per cent exaction on incomes, and, if thought best by the majority, to organ ize for the purpose of attacking the con stitutionality of . the new law. The meeting was a secret but informal one, and the matter was discussed generally. as it would if enforced affect the foreign steamship companies docking and trad ing in this port. The companies, it is said, take the stand that as the principal lines are for eign corporations, their ' shares being held by foreigners, and tbe earnings of each voyage not being credited until the arrival of vessels on the other side, they are not liable to the income tax. ' The agents present were loath to talk on the subject, and beyond the fact that the meeting adjourned without taking any action as to whether concerted ac tion should be taken against the en forcement of the law no information could be obtained.- Vernon H.Brown, of the Canard line, when seen last night at his home, however, said that the sub ject was discussed informally, and that it was finally referred by each company to its respective counsel, who will report back at a future conference of the agents, who will then take such action as the counsel suggest.'
