VIA VIA SPOKANE MINNEAPOLIS DENVER OMAHA Mo Further Pence Proposals Will be Considered Unless Beat by Regu larly Accredited Ambassador From the Chines Court. Tokio, December 8. Japan has noti fied China that no further peace pro posals will be considered unless gent by a regularly accredited Ambassador from the Chinese court. At the same time Japan reminds China that it is not Ja pan that is suing for peace. Japan is dissatisfied with China's temporizing policy, and claims that China is seeking concessions in advance of a formal con ference looking to a settlement. WHAT JAPAN WOULD ACCEPT. Washington. December 8. The an nouncement that Japan was willing to accept an indemnity oi 400,000,000 yen and the cession of territory now occupied by tier forces as a condition lor tne termi nation of the war without further delay, and that the demands were to be in creased if hostilities were prolonged, is similar to those that liave appeared in the Japanese newspapers for some time past, bucn statements are regarueu here as merely the opinions of the writers as to what Japan should insist upon. The authentic news now at hand shows that the negotiations have pro gressed no further than an insistence by 1..., - i fn.: nese government snail send an Ambas sador to Tokio to make its overtures, and litis information is credited by the oilkials of the Japanese legation Iiere. wlto have been oi the opinion lor some time past that the appointment of a Chi nese Ambassador to sue for peace would probably be tne lirst move In that direc tion which would be acceptable to the Japanese government and people. STII.b EXPLAINING DETBINO 8 FAILURE. Washington, December 8. A tele gram has been received in this city from Kobe to the effect that Mr. Detring, Commissioner in the Chinese customs service at Tien Tsin, arrived at that place November 26 and expressed the wish of personally deli veiing to Count lto a letter from V iceroy ia iiung nang As under the circumstances this pro ceeding was considered anomalous and contrary to usage, Count lto refused to meet Detring. At the same time Mr, Lietiing received telegraphic orders from 1'rince Kung, l'resident oi isung ia xa men. recalling him to China. Accord ingly he left Kobe November 29, but be fore going he sent tne viceroys letter to Count lto by post. The object of the letter was to ascertain the conditions upon which peace might be restored. It is also stated that Li Hung Chang had obtained the sanction of the Emperor of China to the mission of Mr. Detring, which had for its object the purpose of confidentially ascertaining me views oi the Japanese government, but Mr. Det ring's sudden return to China under or ders of the President of the Tsung Li Yainen appears to throw some doubt upon the accuracy of this statement. TUB OTIIEB VIEW. London, December 8. According to advices received from an excellent au thority upon the subject of the negotia tions for peace between China and Ja pan the negotiations are not making as rapid strides as supposed, it seems mai Japan intends to insist upon stronger and more tangible prooisoi pinna's suo- IUISHIUU iruiorc mining jfcino. TO BE INVALIDED HOME. Tokio, December 8. A report, to which much credence is given, is current here to the effect that Field Marshal Yamagata, commander of the Japanese army, is so seriously indisposed that it has been decided necessary for hiin to be in valided. The Court Chamberlain has started for the front with a message ap pointing Lieutenant-General Nodezu a General, and the latter will assume com mand of the first Japanese army. Cap tain Miura has been appointed to the command of the cruiser Yoshima, and the late harbor-master at 8a Be Bo has been made Governor of Port Arthur. HANNEKIN BAISINO AN ABMY. Che Foo, December 8. Commissioner Detring says that Colonel llanneken, the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese forces, is raising 100,000 soldiers to be officered entirely by Europeans, mostly German. Some of these officers have al ready arrived, and others are on the way to China. Seven thousand soldiers have been ordered to reinforce Tung Chow, fifty miles west of Che Foo, and are be ing supplied from Wei Hai Wei. RIGHTS OF SHIPPERS Report of the Interstate Com merce Commission. VARIETY OF SUBJECTS TREATED JTBANCK WANTS A SHAKE. "' London, December 8. The Standard's Paris correspondent says : It is rumored in diplomatic quarters here that France means to have a share, if the powers seize territory, in the event of the dis ruption of China. It is supposed that she covets Formosa, which Admiral Gourcet blockaded in 1884, occupying neiung ana toe mines in tne vicinity. Anvhow, it is doubtful whether she will allow Japan or any other power to seize f ormosa. it is understood Mere that tne Japanese have set their hearts upon sign ing a treaty of peace in Peking. The Japanese Minister here stated recently that Japan meant to nave a treaty ot Peking as Europeans had a treaty of Paris. INOCYE'S VIGOBOUS POLICY. Seoul. Corea, December 8. Count Inouye, the Japanese Minister, is taking vigorous measures to restore internal or der. Radical changes are being made in the Departments of the Interior, Justice and Education.

The Central News says that China has been offered all the money that the treaty powers are likely to allow Japan to claim as in demnity, on the basis of a 4 per cent gold loan secured by the uncharged rev enues of the treaty ports.

PAUL KANSAS CITY Pacific Insurance Union Holding Stormy Sessions. Fan Fbancisco, December 7. The af fairs of the Pacific Insurance Union are in a most critical condition, so critical in fact that it would take very little to bring about a dissolution of that impor tant body. Some of its members, ii is charged, are not living up to the terms of the compact, but are cutting rates and doing other things which the union was organized to prevent. Dissatisfied mem bers are also withdrawing from the nnion. The latest to do so is Arthur E. Magill, manager on this coast of the Home Insurance Company of New York and Phoenix of Hartford. His resigna tion has been tendered by him to the union. Other resignations, it is report ed, are about to be sent in. The union held two very important meetings to-day to consider what was best to do in the circunstances. Pro ceedings were secret, but it is said that thev were stormy. It was plainly pointed out that unless members stood together and made a determined fight against the HpBprters thetonion would be disrupted. It was finally resolved that such a fight fihnnld be made, and that union com panies would stand together to the last ditch. A dissolution would lead to many cancellations of policies on which pre miums have not yet been paid. It is understood that about one-fourth of the nroininnia on Dolicies are allowed to re main on credit, and should they not be collected companies on this coast would lose about $3,000,000. It Declares In Favor of st Single Classi fication of Commodities for the Whole Country Congress Can Prescribe Rules Regulating Commerce. WAsniNGTON.December 9. The eighth annual report of the Interstate Com merce Commission, which was sent to Congress yesterday, ranges through a variety of subjects, opening withhatof court decisions, noting the case of Brim son and others. The Supreme Court held that Congress may employ any ap propriate means to accomplish the ob ject of tbe law granted to it by the con stitution, and that Congress has plenary power to prescribe the rules regulating interstate commerce ; that provisions of the 12lh section of the act to regulate commerce, requiring The courts to use their process in aid of inquiries before tbe commission, are constitutional and valid ; that in a proceeding to complete tbe attendance and testimony of wit nesses before the commission or to com pel the production of books, papers and documents, in a case of which under the constitution a Federal court may take cognizance, the failure to obey an order of the court requiring the giving of such testimony or the production ot docu ments b -lore tbe commission is property punishable as contempt of court. Regarding criminal and civil proce dure under the law the commission, call ing attention to misapprehension upon this point, explains that its duty is to report to the Department of Justice facts concerning alleged violations ot the pe nal clauses of tbe act, and says this does not clothe the commission with detective or prosecuting functions, its connection with the criminal side ot the law ending with such report to the Department oi Justice. The report says that it is the duty of shippers , railway managers and citizens eenerauy to asBist tne govern ment in running down violations of statutes designed to protect their inter ests. Transportation should not be re garded as a part of the private business of shippers. It should be viewed as an agency provided under government sanc tion. It recommends that the carrying corporations be made indictable and subject to fine for violation of the act. The report presents at length a state ment of the work of the commission and discusses the long and short-haul clause. Due observance of that clause, it says, will encourage legitimate and re strain illegitimate competition in carrvinff trade. .
