The Treaty of .'Peace at Peking Moch
Opposition.
London, April 26. A Peking dispatch
to the London Times says : John W.
Foster, the American adviser of the
Chinese peace envoys, and the secretary
of Li Hang Chang, have arrived here,
and the treaty of peace between China
and Japan is now before the emperor
and bis ministers. The Chinese foreign
office yesterday consulted with different
foreign legations. Many censors pre
sented memorials against the treaty.
Prince Rung, president of the foreign
office, and of the council of ministers,
has obtained seven days more sick
leave. Other officials hesitate to recom
mend the ratification of the treaty.
Viceroy Li Hung; Chang will proba
bly go to Che-Foo if. ratifications are ex
ecuted there as proposed.
He Thinks the United states Should
Interfere.
Washington, April 2. Minister
Knrino of Japan today gave the Associ
ated Press a very significant interview
fon the Eastern question. He said In
his opinion the commercial interests of
the United States in the East, particu
larly in Japan, are so much more exten
sive and important than those of Ger
' many or France, that it would be emi
nently desirable in the event of a
Franco-German alliance with Russia to
prevent the consummation of the peace
treaty for the United States to take an
active part in offsetting sach an alliance.
Kurino wished it clearly understood,
however, that he had not received any
instructions from his government, and
there had buan no suggestion of official
or unofficial character from him to the
state department that the United States
should be enlisted in its support. His
views were the result of his personal in
formation of the extent of the United
. States' interests in the East.
Kurino was asked what the result
would be if China's procrastination or
foreign interference prevented the rati
fication of the peace agreement.
"Then," he replied, "war will be re
newed May 8th with far more vigor and
determination than before."
In a Critical Condition.
Shanghai, April 26. A dispatch from
Peking says affairs there are in a critical
conditions. Some generals favor the
continuance of the war. Censors object
to the treaty of peace and officers are
claiming that the emperor alone should
decide upon the terms. The ratification
of the treaty, consequently, is uncertain,
and if it is ratified.it is feared there will
be trouble with the army.
White For Vioe-Prealdent.
Washington, April 26. The Evening
News, the recognized organ of the ad
ministration, wnose utterances are
known to be controlled by the president's
official family, in a long article upon the
vice-presidential possibilities before the
next national democratic convention,
.' says:
"A man who is looked, upon as head
and shoulders above all other democratic
vice-presidential probabilities, if selected
because of his extreme location and ad
berence to the doctrine of free silver, is
Highest of all in Leavening Power.
Stephen M. White, the senior,-, senator
from California. He has been promin
ent in coast and national politics for
years, and is said to be a conservative
and conscientious man of great ability
and earnestly believes in opening the
mints of the United States to the unlim
ited coinage of the world's silver pro
ducts regardless of an existing or pros
pective international agreement.
"Senator White became a national
figure in the democratic party seven
years ago, when he was temporary chair
man of the national convention of his
party in St. Louis which nominated
Cleveland and Tburman. He is com
paratively a young man. being 42 years
old, and is a native of San Francisco.
"Governor Budd, of the same state, is
also being canvasesd, but it is argued
that his prominence and qualifications
do not approach those of Senator White.
Ex-Representative Geary was suggested
a's a possibility in 1692, but since that
time his connection with the American
Protective Association has removed him
from the lists of eligibles. So far as
vice-presidential timber can be found,
with free coinage proclivities, in the
middle and extreme West, none appears
to possess the requisite elements of
strength ' except Senator White.
Should a Pacific coast man be named as
a concession to the pronounced and ag
gressive bimetalist element, he will re
ceive the nomination."
The Dotrant Case.
San Fhancisco, April 26. There was
as Urge a crowd as ever at Durrant's ex
amination this morning. The defense
apparently have no hope of preventing
the prisoner being held, and are devot
ing their efforts to obtaining information
for use at the trial.
Elmer Wolfe was the first witness this
morning. He repeated the story told atr
the inquest of his being present at Dr.
Vogel's on the night of the murder; of
Durrant arriving about 9 :30, of leaving
the house with Durrant and several
young ladies; of accompanying Miss
Lord home, and about midnight seeing a
man who resembled the accused near
the church.
Daring Wolfe's cross-examination he
was requested to take off his coat, but re
fused to do so. Counsel for the defense
appealed to the court, and Wolfe finally
removed the garment, and admitted to
counsel that it bore a resemblance to the
one worn by Durrant.' On the night in
question witness wore a dark coat and
vest and light trousers, which were now
at tne ranch where he was employed
and could be secured at any time.
George- K. King, organist of the
church, was then called for the first
time. He had been organist for two
years ; was secretary of the Sunday
school, and bad helped to arrange the
Sunday school library in company with
Durrant, who was superintendent of the
Sunday school. He had no key of the
side door of the church, but had one to
the library. He put the new lock on the
library door, being assisted by Durrant,
who w as the only one other than him
self who bad a key to it.
The lock (which was produced) caused
a great deal of discussion among the
counsel. It was apparent' that the de
fense would maintain that Durrant, hav
ing a key, could have locked the door,
and that in his case there was no need
why he should Dreak the lock. The
prosecution on the other band is of the
opinion that as only be and King had
key 8 to the room, lie knew that to have
unlocked the door would have pointed to
one of them immediately. .

Hard to Handle.
San Fbancisco, April 28. The United
States grand jury has brought in an in
dictment against Fobs, Caprico and all
of their accomplices in the Chinese cer
titicate fraud cases. A number of intri
cate legal problems have already come to
the surface in the case, the chief of
which is that the United States statutes
do not specify that it is a crime to con
spire to bring Chinese into the conntry
in violation of the law. As a result,
about the only charge that can be

hear tell of a purchaser wanting
to buy an imitation? Why do
men who try to sell such articles
speak of the act as "working

work and likewise deception to
sell them the worst. This un
pleasant experience may befall the

Chicago, April 26. E.- J. Martyn,

day that the statement of the beef trust
in reply to the charge of conspiracy to
put up prices would be made when Sec
retary Morton announces the results of
the investigations now being made by

resulted, he admits, in a sharp failing off
