Mikado Disposed to Modify HU Demand* —Remit of Rnnlan Protest—The Great Bear of the North GrotvU When Hto, Approach to the Pacific la Barred. Washington, April 13.—The Japanese legation has received advices from Ja pan which give color to the belief that the present truce between the mikado and the Chinese emperor may be merged at an early date into a definite treaty of peace. The grounds for this hope are only conjectural; but it Is guessed here that the Japanese plenipotentiaries will grant or have granted some concessions from the text of the original demands of the mikado, which were five in num ber: 1. Independence of C$rea. !!. Permanent cession of the Island of Formosa to Japan. 3. Indemnity of 300,000,000 taels (Chi nese coin worth 31.33). 5. A new Japan-China treaty opening the Interior of China to commerce. It is given out at the Japanese* lega tion. that any concessions which have been made are due to the repeated re quests of the Chinese plenipotentiaries. But there is probably a more forceful influence at work than any which can be exerted from Peking. It looks as If Japan were yielding before the hostile attitude of Russia. It is felt here that Japan cannot af ford to antagonize Russia to such an extent as to press for a permanent oc cupation of Port Arthur and the con tiguous territory, because If any power other than China Is to control that dis trict Russia must be that power. The czar needs a Pqplflc seaport and China has none to give that would be a thou sandth part as useful to the czar as one on the east coast of Manchuria, which Is the Port Arthur territory. Both Rus sia and China have, therefore, the strongest reasons for opposing this ex action of the mikado. If the Japanese have modified their demands as to Indemnity the pressure must have come from Great Britain act ing on behalf of English financial back ers of the half-insolvent Manehu dy nasty. r t It is not. likely that Euro pean Interference would be made along that line, as the amount of the Indtm nity Is not exorbitant. France alone, or chiefly. Is Interested in the cession of Formosa, which forms naturally a part of the “Island Em pire.” The question of the independence of Corea cannot be one of prime Im portance to China. It Is of great moment to Russia, how ever, because the czar desires a, right of-way through Corea for the great trans-Siberian railway, and the Impres sion has prevailed here that before the mikado stated the, conditions of peace he had arrived at an understanding with Russia whereby the latter's right of railway route through the hermit kingdom was to be guaranteed. If this guaranty fall, then Russia will have an additional reason to oppose Japanese aggresions at Port Arthur. If the money demand—300,000, '00 taels —has been modified, little importance Is to be attached to the concession, ex cept that China's burden will be light er. It looks now as if, barring some unex pected hitch in the negotiations, the end of the China-Japan war had come and a treaty of peace were In sight. Should tills prove the case, the atti tude of Russia will have had more to do in bringing It to pass than any ap peal of China to the mercy of the vic tor. Toko’ ma, April 12—It Is stated here on reliable authority that unless peace is concluded within the period of the armistice, truce will not be extended and the Japanese armies will In May advance upon Pci-tn~ Hattie Men Happy, Santa Fe, N. M„ April 13.—An ad vance of 25 per cent In the price of beef cattle in the last sixty days has served to elate the stock dealers of New Mexico. Mutton has also gone much higher, showing a great advance. At the advanced prices 4,000 cars of cattle will be shipped out over the Atchison during the next six weeks. A year ago but 500,000 cattle were on the range of New Mexico, but since then every stockman has been saving his stock, and experts say that at least 1,000,000 head of meat cattle are now on new Mexican ranges and of this num ber 250,000 are reatic for shipment.

ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS OP NICARAGUA. TALK A Waiting Policy Will Bo Eiponlfl In the End, They Say—Gaily Ohoaen Speaker of the Houae of Common*— Flood* In Europe—New* By Cable, London, April 11.—In regard to the report that hae reached here from New York that the British sloop-of-war Wild Swan has Joined the Royal Arthur, the flagship of the British Pacific squadron, at Panama preparatory to their expect ed departure for Corlnto, Nicaragua, to enforce the ultimatum of Great Brit ain’s demanding 175,000 Indemnity for the expulsion from Nicaragua of Mr. Hatch, the British consular agent at Blucflelds, It Is stated that the an nouncement Is premature. At the ndmlralty, In reply to questions on this subject It was said that no or ders had been given to the Wild Swan or Royal Arthur which would warrant the statements made. The Times In an editorial on the situation says: "If we are compelled to collect the customs Nicaragua will presumably have to pay the costs of the collection In addition to the Indemnity. She will find it less troublesome and cheaper to settle with us forthwith. Her efforts to excite the Jealousy of America have failed. Tho Justice and good sense of the Ameri cans have proved to strong for the suc cess of this characteristic maneuvre. The Americans should only hear our case and demands to acknowledge that our conduct was reasonable and Just and to admit that our claims were of such a character as they would them selves have made under similar circum stances. We have assured America that we are not seeking fresh territory. Our object Is to obtain an adequate apology for a wrong dono and the pay ment of the compensation which we be lieve to be our due." The Globe this afternoon, comment ing on the same subject, remarks: "Like other Central American repaollcs given to pulling the lion's tail, Nicaragua hoped that Washington would flare up In behalf of the Monroe doctrine. But President Cleveland, upon Inquiring In to the matter, discovered that the quar rel did not concern America. It would be intolerable were the Monroe doctrine so stretched as to cover such Inter national outrages as that of which Nic aragua has been guilty. Fortunately for the contlnuanse of friendly relations between these two great nations there Is far less disposition than formerly In America to take advantage of every op portunity to hurl defiance at England. Sensible Americans recognize that the Monroe doctrine, though founded on an excellent principle, requires to be en forced with prudence and discretion.” CROP REPORT FAVORABLE. Advice* Show Rain* but Week Were a Great. Benefit to the Country. Washington, April 11.—The weather bureau, In Its weekly review of weather crop conditions for the week has ended April 8, says: Upon the whole the week has been most favorable. Corn plant ing has progressed rapidly under fa vorable conditions In the southern states, where a large proportion of the i crop is In the ground and some has come up.

Spring wheat seeding is well advanced In Minnesota. Oat seeding Is progressing rapidly in Ohio, and nearly the entire acreage of this crop has been sown In Illinois, In diana,- Iowa and Missouri. Seeding Is well advanced in Minnesota. The gen eral outlook for fruit Is very favor able, no serious damage having been done by frost. Rain Is badly needed In Oklahoma, and more would be bene ficial In Missouri, Ohio and Minnesota. In Illinois the report shows that drouth conditions are broken: tempera ture and rainfall above normal; winter wheat, rye and meadows greatly Im proved; ground In excellent condition; oats and spring wheat sown; early po tatoes planted; gardens made In central and southern counties and one-half to three-quarters made in northern coun ties; fruit trees In good condition and buds bursting In southern counties.

Washington, April II.—The Japanese Chinese armistice closes In ten days, eo that It Is anticipated by omelets and diplomats that the Anal terms of peace must be near at han I. It Is stated, how ever, by a diplomat of experience with the Chinese and Corekns, that It Is char acteristic with them not to meet an >4 emergency until the last day. A case la cited In which Japan gave Corea three months to acquiesce in certain condi tions. There was no response until the day before tho three months expired, when a Corean official appeared and stated that the subject had been over looked and more time was desired, * which request, however, was not grant- » >d. It would not be surprising to officials If LI Hung Chang pursued this policy, taking the full ten days before yield ing to all of Japan's domands. The reports that the Indemnity will be about 400,000,000 yen coincides with the understanding hore that 200,000,000 would be the amount of the payment. The present rate of exchange on the silver yen Is 47 cents, so that 400,000,000 silver yen would be *188,000,000. * , TO FORM jAOREAT UNION.
