LONDON , May 9. A dispatch to the Times
from Che-Foo says that the ratifications of
the treaty of peace between China and Japan
were .exchanged at midnight. The dispatch
adds that Russia disclaims any aggressive
designs against Manchuria , and asserts that
8ho Is acting on a purely protective basis
against Japan ,
YOKOHAMA. May 9. China has with
drawn her request to have the armistice pro

peace have been exchanged.

WASHINGTON , May 9. The State depart

last night.
PARIS. May 9. The Figaro this morning
In regard to the negotiations between Japan
and Russia , France and Germany , for a
modification of the treaty of Shlmonosekl ,
says thnt It has been left for Spain to draw
up n final settlement of matters In dispute
between Japan and the three powers.
BERLIN , May 9. A dispatch frem Chee-Foo
states that the ratifications of the treaty of
peace between China and Japan were ex
changed there yesterday.
WASHINGTON , May 9. An official dls-
patch from Toklo received at the Japanese
legation this afternoon states that the ratifi
cations of the treaty of peace between Japan
and China were exchanged at Chee-Foo on
Wednesday. No chnnge was made In the
text of the treaty , as originally concluded.
Taking Into account , however , the recom
mendations made by Russia , Germany and
France , the Japanese government has agreed
to the renouncement of the permanent pos
session of the Llao Tong peninsula , on condi
tion that the arrangement regarding the
terms nnd form of renunciation shall be re
served for adjustment between Itself and the
government of China. This latter stipulation
Is construed to mean that Japan will not sur
render the pcnluiula until a suitable In
demnity shall have been paid , and that It
may have been agreed between Japan and
China , that the possession of Fort Arthur
Itself will be retained by the Japanese for a
term of years leading beyond the date when
the Indemnity has been paid In full , thus
assuring to Japan not alone the payment of
the Indemnity itself , but also sufficient time
to safeguard herself against anything like a
'war of reprisal.
It will be remembered that the treaty of
peace Itself provides that Wel-Hal-Wel shall
be held until the first 100,000,000 yen ot the In
demnity and the next two annual Installments
have been paid , so that with the added guar
antee of the possession of Port Arthur , even
although only tcm [ > orary , the Japanese would
appear to have taken every possible precau
tion for the future. The foregoing statement
Is official , coming direct from Toklo by
cable. The understanding Is It embodies the
reply which Japan recently gave to the pro
test of Russia and the allied powers.

BERLIN , May 9. The debate on the anti-
revolution bill , which Is now upfor Its second
reading , was continued In the Reichstag to
day. The Prussian minister of justice , Dr.
von Schoenetedt , said that the government
attached the greatest. Importance to the
adoption of the proposal of Herr von Levet-
zow , which partially substitutes the govern
ment bill for the proposals ot the committee
which has had the anti-revolution bill under
discussion , with the result that a number
ot amendments have been Incorporated In It
which have. In the opinion of the government
weakened certain provisions of the measure.
Dr. von Schoeiistedt urged the members of
the center party to agree to Von Levetzow's
motion , saying that otherwise they would
play the socialist game. Continuing , the
minister of justice said that recollections of
the Kulturkimpf had clouded the visions ol
the centring In committee and that It was
easier for them to yield now than on the
third reading of the bill.
\ Herr Lcnsmann of the people's party said
he hoped when the paragraph of the bill
they were then discussing was rejected the
government would withdraw the measure
and put an end to the waste of tlmo In
flogging a dead horse.
The Prussian minister ot the Interior
Herr von Koeller , In reply chaffed Hen
Lensmann , Intimating that the latter was
getting his Ideas ot socialism from populai
Blteslun almanacs , where It was written , hi
claimed , that social democracy Is love. Thli
remark was followed by cries of "qult
right" and much laughter. Herr von Keel
ler said such a definition was a ridiculous
falsehood , and thereupon ho quoted a num
ber of seditious utterances recently used ay
socialists.
This caused the socialists to repeated !
Interrupt the minister , several of then
ahoutlng : "These are anarchistic sayings.
Herr von Koeller retorted , "U Is all tin
seme , " concluding with the remark : ' " 'It '
will be finally recognized In the countrj
that things cannot continue as heretofore
We have submitted the bill and must awal
your reply. " _

nt l.imt Mniln Public.
SAN FRANCISCO , May 9. Hawaiian ad
vices received today from Honolulu , dated
May 2 , per steamer Marlposa , are as follows :
The letter demanding the recall of Minister
Thurston Is here and was read to the execu
tive session of the councils yesterday after
noon. The letter had been to Hong Kong.
It went past Honolulu In a bag with a couple
of hundred others. The fault lies with the
postoffice nt San Francisco. The ground
of the objection to Thureton Is confined to a
slnglo transaction. The sole offense alleged
Is that Thurston , at the legation , showed to
reporters private letters to himself from
Honolulu. The particular letter that gave
such offense to the secretary of state Inti
mated In strong terms that President Cleve
land and Secretary Grcsham were largely re
sponsible for the January uprising here
Grcsham spoke to the Hawaiian minister
about the matter. Thureton said that he
regretted It vcrv much , that ID the hurry of
handling a big mall he had shows this let
ter with otners without any special Intent.
In short , ho apoiuylzei. Secretary Grcsham
thereupon asked that the apology bo sub
mitted In writing. Thurston declined to do
this.
ORESHAM USED STRONG LANGUAGE.
Gresham's letter Is dated February 21 last
and In strong language stated Thurston Is no
longer personally acceptable to the admlnls-
| trotion at Washington as Hawaiian minister.
It Is definitely settled Thurston will not re
turn to Washlns'on. ' Ho has resigned his
office , his resignation to take effect when
his succcssoi has been appointed. Ex
tremists here urge that he bo sent back at
once In order to face Grcsham again. They
regard his return as a ' "back-down. " The
conservative feeling Is that there should bo
no playing to the galleries and that the rela
tions of this government to that at Washing'
ton should bo left to adjust themselves In a
natural way. Frank Hastings , who Is at
present In charge of the Hawaiian legation
will probably bo promoted to the position o :
minister. No retaliating measures will b3
taken by the government , so a cabinet officer
states , and Minister Willis will remain In
Hawaii so far as anything the officials on this
side may do or say to him.
Cabinet officers stated this morning tha
Gresham's letter may never be published in
full for the reason that It names certain
charges against Thurston , charges tint woulc
have to bo answered by the Hawaiian minis
ter. This government do s not care to widen
the breach with the Cleveland administration
any more than It can help and for that reason
Thurston will not have an opportunity to de
fend himself. Ths friends of Thurston ar
Indignant , because they say he has been be
trayed by an agent of the United press In
Washington. He permitted that agent to rcai
private comspondence from Honolulu for thi
purpose of making himself familiar with thi
situation here and Instructed him to publish
nothing which reflected on the government
as It might reflect on his official position
Thtirston's friends say the agent of th
United press did not publish anything taken
from the correspondence reflecting on Cleve
land , but ho went directly to Grcsham am
Informed htm that ho had read , at the Ha
wallan legation , letters sent to Thurston an
furnished Qresham with the substance o
them. The proof of this Is Ore-sham's state
ment to Mr. Thunton In his last Interview
with him that "you ( he ) have been betraye' '
by your newspapr friends , " and also the fee
that dresham had the substance , and In som
case copies of letters reflecting on Cleveland
DID NO WORSE THAN GRESHAM.
The feeling of the government here Is tha
Thurston was Justified In Informing ths Amer
lean public of the situation here , Inasmuc
as Grc-sham , in the beginning , gave to th
press material without consulting Thurston
It Is said this was noticeable , too. In Blount'
matter , when Greaham , without Informln
Thurston of the receipt of the report , wrot
a letter regarding the government here , with
out asking for any explanation whatever
Thurston made a public reply , and was at
tacked personally and called a "conspirator ,
- but at that tlmo a cabinet officer ) says
Grcsham did not tak ? the matter of such pub
lication up and ask for Thuraton's recall.
. In an Interview this morning a member
of the government said : "The rjply of the
government will be brief , and will not enter
- Into a discussion of the matter , such a dts-
cusslon would b ? useless and only provoke a
bitter controversy. The fact remains that the
Immediate causeof Thurston's recall Is the
betrayal of trust he placed In an agent of
the United press. How far Cleveland Is
, justified In asking for the recall , based upon
. such betrayal , Is a question which cannot be
settled by diplomatic correspondence , but by
public sentiment of the people , and cf those
who attempt to conduct newspaper business
In an honorable way. "
Rumors of a rupture In the cabinet have
been common for two days. The disagree
ment Is said to be over the disposition of the
rebel prisoners. Ministers Damon and King
are In favor of liberating all the prisoners ,
but the ringleaders are opposed by Minister
Hatch and Attorney General Smith. It Is
isald President Dole favors the releaseof the
men. As the outcome of the affair It Is said
Damon and King will resign. The statement
Is denied by the government.
, The quosn has become tired of prison con
finement and will soon make an effort to
gain her freedom. Her friends have been
busy for nome days working In her behalf
and a writ ot habeas corpus will b ? sworn
out within a day or two. Paul Neumann ,
< her attorney , Is preparing his argument.
It has been a complete surprise to the gov
ernment that no attempt has been macjo to
test the validity of the military court that
: recently dealt with the rebels. It was gen
erally understood that a test case would be
iy niado as coon as It adjourned , but tor some
reason no action was tak n.
WASHINGTON , May 9. Mr. Hastings ,
Hawaiian charge d'affaires , was out of the
city today and could not bs seen regarding
the lUwallan dispatches which glva his prob
e. able advance to the office of minister. This
promotion would not be a surprise to of
ficials , aa Mr- Hastings Is particularly ac
ceptable at the State department , having long
been In the 1'nlted States diplomatic servlcs
before joining the Hawaiian service. He has
arranged to leave Washington In n few
c- weeks and the legation will be closed until
cm ne\t fall , unless an extra session of congress
es should bring him back. Ttrre Is slid tube
bo no significance In this , as most ot the
diplomats lake summer vacations. Minister
Thurslon's resignation has not reached the
ofes State department , as the department gazette
es Issued two days ago , named him as minister.

NOT READY FOR THE ISSUE
Premier Greenway of Manitoba Wanta More
Time on the School Question.
LEGISLATURE AGAIN ASKED TODJOURN
Opposition Cnmh.it the Move nnil C'nlm It
la Simply an KfTort to Shift Itc-
apunftlblllty Unto Other
Shoulders.
WINNIPEG , May 9. The battle now ragIng -
Ing over separate schools Is to be further
continued , Upon the reassembling ot the
Manitoba legislature today , Premier Green
way said : "Before proceeding on the orders
of tlio day , I desire to say this : Whsn
asking the house to adjourn until the pres
ent date , In view of the gravity of the
questions Involved In the consideration of
the schools remedial order communicated
from Ottawa , I stated we would require
sufficient time to consider the same. I am
now able to ask the house to order a further
adjournment until June 13 , In order that
further consideration may be had. I am
aware that In making the motion that the
house do now adjourn that I am asking the
Indulgence of the house , because In making
the motion It would require , If my honorable
fi lends opposite Insisted , that I should glvo
notice , as It Is not the Intention to pro-
prcceed with other business until this matter
Is disposed of. I desire now to move that
the house do adjourn to June 13. "
No sooner had the premier taken his scat
than A. F. Martin , leader of the opposition
was on his feet and for two hours he spoke
In opposition to the premier's motion. He
claimed the duty of the government was teat
at once decide upon the school matters. He
was himself a Catholic and represented his
co-rellglonlsts there. The delay , he asserted
was simply a move to shelve the responsi
bility upon other shoulders and he strongly
pictosted against such tactics. Martin con
tlnued speaking until < I o'clock , when
"
Premier Greenway asked "him to move the
adjournment of the debate until evening , to
which Martin assented , and the house ad
Journcd.
At this evening's session Mr. Martin con
tlr.ued his speech and was followed by Mr
Prendergast , who regretted that the gov
ernment had found It necessary to take a
further adjournment.
Attorney General Slfton said the remedla
order , as submitted by the Dominion gov
ernment , Involved a return to the old schoo
system and this they did not propose to
do. There were also a great many othoi
phases of the question and further time mus
be taken for consideration.
The question was then put : "Shall thi
rules bo suspended ? "
There was no dissenting voice and the
legislature was declared adjourned to June
13. The action of the government In moving
for adjournment , It Is said , Is explained b ;
the statement that new points have arisen
which demand further consideration. Som
may think this adjournment looks like a
sign of compromise , but the members who
are In the confidence of the ministry oji
and all support the government. They havi
been out through the constituencies and
have come back stronger supporters than
ever of national schools. It would there
fore not be satisfactory to them If thl
meant any backdown on the part of th
cabinet. They are hopppy. Therefore It Is
evident the reasons which the government
has given them must b ? a sound one.

WARDNER , Idaho , May 9. The Bunker
Hill nnd Sullivan management having ex
pressed a willingness to resume work In
their mine at $3 for miners and $2.60 for
carmen and shovelers , the business men of
Wardner and Kellogg drew up this petition ,
which Is being generally signed :
We , the undersigned citizens of Wnrdner
nnd Kellogg , In consideration of the ex
tremely low price of lend nnd silver , and in
further consideration of thfe fact that the
cost of living has decreased , believe that
while these low prices continue $3 per day
for miners and $2.50 for Uay laborers are
fair and Just prices of wngi-s.
We further believe that Bunker Hill nnd
Sullivan Mining and Concentrating com
pany has the same right to manage their
own affairs as we have to manage ours.
We hereby pledge the company our cordial
support In Its determination to pay no
higher wages while prices of lead nnd silver
nre so low ; It being understood that said
company will restore wntfcs to the former
basis or f3 50 nnd $3 whenever the prices of
lend and silver advance so that the com
bined value In New York of 100 pounds of
lend to two nnd one-half ounces of silver
shall amount to $ S.
It Is believed the mine will resume on this
basis. About 400 men are employed.

Hectares ( lie City \Vmliliifiton a TVren-
nliil llotbcil of JoMiltlcnl Lobbyists
Tlio Order us Promoter of North
anil South Union.
MILWAUKEE , May 9. President Traynor
of the supreme body of the A. P. A. today de
livered an address of between 25,000 and
30,000 words , In which ho made suggestions
and recommendations covering practically
every leading question of the day. Ho de
nounced the laws which accept the vote of
the Ignorant foreigner who Is unable to reader
or write the English language and rejects the
votes of the Intelligent women who are di
rectly Interested In the welfare of the na
tion , and who has proven her ability to man
age public affairs. He declared that the city
of Washington Is a perennial hotbed of
Jesuitical lobbyists , who carry their points
by bulldozing and boycotting senators and
representatives. Ho strongly urged the es
tablishment of a national headquarters ot the
A. P. A , and a national organ , at the na
tional capital , with earnest officials chosen
from the active and prominent representa
tives of the order from the various states
of the union. President Traynor then de
clared himself to bo In hearty accord with
the sentiment to send the A. P. A. to every
civilized country on the globe. In regard
to political action , he recommended the ef
fort to raise the standard of politics by cdu
eating the masses on the lines of patriotism
laid down by the constitution and declaration
of principles of the A. P. A. President Tray
nor said the order had been extended to every
state In the union except Mississippi , In which
state thcre > Is yet no organization. The
southerners nt first regarded the A. P. A
as a great carpetbag Institution , but after
they had studied Its principles they em
braced the order with the utmost confidence.
Ho believes that the A. P. A. will assist ma
tcrlally In uniting the north and the south.
The Increase In membership In the south
during the past two terms of his presidency
lias been five or six times greater than the
Increase In the north.
INCREASE IN NEW ENGLAND.
The Increase In the cast and New England
during the past year has been greater than
the Increase In membership In any other
section of the country. The order has de
creased in membership In one or two
states , but Its Influence Is just as strong. Ho
pronounced the city of New Orleans a hotbed
of Romanism similar to Washington. Ho
declared that the national political parties
had violated their pledges to the people In
many cases , nnd Intimated that they cannot
be trusted unltss they endorse the funda
mental principles ot the A. .P. A. He fa
vored the suspension of Immigration until
the country had assimilated the foreigners
which arc now In It , and also favored the
taxation of church property.
The "original little red tchool house" pre
sented to Congressman Hlnton of Michigan
at the opening of congress , December 3 , 1894 ,
by the citizens of Washington , In considera
tion of his defense of the public school sys
tem has been brought to Milwaukee- and Is
being exhibited to the dolegates. This lit
tle \york of art , which Is four feet long and
two feet wide , will bo taken to every state
In the tinlori and may be sent to Europe. On
July 4 It will figure In the celebration of
the country's national day at Louisville , Ky. ,
whsro the altar upon which It will rest will
be surrounded by 35,000 school children.
The yard surrounding the little red school
house was filled with American Beauty
roses when presented to Congressman Lln-
ton , twelve dozen being used , and these
roses cost just $144. Lithographs of the
school house have been published and are
being distributed to the members of the
A. P. A. and others.
The .annual election will not bo reached
before Saturday. The platform will proba
bly be formulated tomorrow.
The local organization gave the general
organization a big reception and banquet at
Liberty hall tonight. Among the speakers
were Rev. J. C. Mcdlll , past supreme , presl-
. dent of the Canadian A. P. A. , and Supreme
President Traynor of Detroit. Henry F.
Bowers , founder of the order , was presented
with a $1,000 medal , and made a short speech
In response.

SAN FRANCISCO , May 9. An evening
paper publishes a statement made by Theo
dora Durrant to a friend , In which the
man charged with the murder of the two
girls In Emanuel church said he would
make the greatest legal battle In tbo his
tory of the state and expressed his con
fidence regarding the outcome , predicting
that ho would soon bo a free man. In addi
tion to the three attorneys already engaged
for the defense. Durrant has retained a well
known criminal lawyer , George A. Knight ,
and says the case shall be pushed to speeedy
trial.
"There are a good many things against
me , " Durrant Is quoted as saying , "but I
fear Harry Partridge , who testified that ho
answered Ml call for me on April 8 , more
than any other witness. If Partridge per
sists In his statement he will hang me , but
my attorneys will see him and perhaps he
will change his mind. I did him many a
good turn and often answered roll call for
him. I hope ho won't continue against me. "
The prosecution docs not understand Dur
rani's fear of Partridge , whose testimony
Is corroborated , April 8 was the last day
Durrant visited Minnie Williams In Ala-
meda. Durrant denies that ho offered a
ring to Oppenhelmer. the pawnbroker , or
any one else. He says Oppenhelmer Is a
tool of the police and has frequently given
similar testimony In other cases. Durrant
Is studying medical books and says upon
his release ho will continue his course to
graduation.

DUPONT DECLARED ELECTED
End of the Long Senatorial Struggle ia Not
Yet , However.
DELAWARE LEGISLATURE ENDS IN A TANGLE
Adjourned Sine Die Speaker Snyi Uuponf
li Senator Mill the ( lotrrnor enya Ho
lui't Ctmlcit to Ilo Tnlton to
the Supreme Court.
DOVER , Del. , May 9. The general as
sembly of Delaware adjourned sine die at 3
o'clock this afternoon without having so-
Iccled a successor to Senator Hlgglns , al
though the republicans claim their leading
candidate , Colonel Henry A. Dupont , was
legally elected , The matter will probably betaken
taken to the United States senate for a
decision. The 211th ballot since the dead
lock began , four months ago , and tha last
of the session , was taken a few minutes be
fore 3 o'clock. It resulted : Henry A. Du
pont , republican , 15 ; J. Edward Addlcks , re
publican , 4 ; Edward Rldgcly , democrat , 9 ;
Tunnel , democrat , 1.
During the day the democrats filibustered
with the object of preventing balloting , and
when the state house clock rang out the
hour of 3 and sounded the death knell ot
the legislative session of 1895 tbo clerk was
In the midst of a roll call on a dilatory
motion made by a democrat. As soon as
Governor Watson ( democrat ) , who , by reason
ot the fact that he was speaker of the senate
before hla elevation to the gubernatorial
chair upon the dwlh of Governor Marvll.
presided over the joint session , announced
the sine dlo adjournment , Speaker ot tha
House McMullln ( republican ) arose and for
mally declined Henry A. Dupont elected
United States senator. This action had pre
viously been agreed upon by the republican. i
leaders. i
The Delaware legislature Is composed ot
twenty-one representatives and nine sena
tors , sixteen being a majority on Joint bal
lot. The republicans claim that when Wat
son , by virtue of his position as speaker of
the senate , succeeded to the governorship
upon the death of Governor Marvil one month
ago , the numbr of senators was reduced to
eight , and therefore there were only twenty-
nine on Joint ballot , and that fifteen votes
constituted a majority. On the other hand ,
the democrats and Governor Watson claim
the law distinctly declares the "speaker ot
the senate" shall become governor. There
fore , If Mr , Watson withdraws from the
senate , ho ceases to bo "speaker of the >
senate" nnd consequently loses the governor
ship.
MADE HIS THREAT GOOD.
The senatorial question is likely to occupy
a large amount of public attention for months
to come. Whether the- governor has ft
right to appoint Is a disputed question. If
he has the appointment will be only until
the next legislature , which meets In January ,
1890 , unless sooner called together by the
governor. This latter contingency Is not
probable , however. J. Edward Addlcks haa
made good his threat uttered at the very
beginning of the contest , to prevent the
election of a republican senator from Dela
ware If he could not secure the prlio him
self.
Colonel Henry A. Dupont , who will make )
the contest for the senators ! ] Ip , la a mem
ber of the famous Dupont family who have
been manufacturers of powder and other ex
plosives at Wilmington , this state , for ov r
a century. He Is a son of the late General
Henry Dupont , and was born at Brandywlno
Banks In 1836. Ho attended the University
of Pennsylvania and was appointed to ths
United States military academy at Weal
Point , graduating In ISfil. He entered the/
Fifth United States artillery and served
through the civil war. Colonel Dupont has )
been a republican ever slnco the organization
of the party.
The desks of Representatives Bobbins and
Brown , the two Sussex farmsr legislators ,
whoso votes are needed to elect Henry A ,
Dupont , have been surrounded all the morning
by a bodyguard cf Addlcks psoplc , who seem
to bo making every effort to prevent thos
two men from voting with the majority ot
their fellow republicans and thus end tha
deadlock. Governor Watson took his chair
In joint session at 12 o'clock and ordered the
floor cleared ot all ex-state officials and ex-
members. Iho forty-ninth ballot resulted :
Dupont , 15 ; Addlcks , 4 ; Rldgley , 10 ; Tunnell ,
1. Brown left Addlcks for Dupont. It now
requires sixteen votes to elect.
At the conclusion of the 211th ballot Sena
tor Aldrlch arose and read a paper protestIng -
Ing against further balloting , claiming that
Henry A. Dupont had been legally elected.
Governor Watson refused to entertain the mo
tion or to allow a protest to go on the recordi
of the joint session , claiming It to be out ot
order. Senator Pierce appealed frem the de
cision and the governor refused to entertain
the appeal , Senator Harrington , democrat ,
moved to separate and the ayes and nays
were called. It was 2:47 : when the roll call
was concluded. It was defeated 18 to 12.
Senator Cadre-cords made a similar motion ,
but It was also defeated. Representative
Davis moved to take a recess for five minute *
and this was also defeated.
Senator Cadrecords , the democratic leader ,
moved to separate and during the roll call
the state house clock struck the hour ot 8 ,
but the clock In the hall was one mlnuUj
slower , and whin the vote was announced
the governor declared the general assembly
dissolved.
Speaker McMullen then declared , as speaker
of the house , Htnry A. Dupont elected United
States senator from Delaware.
Speaker McMullen's declaration was re
ceived with derisive shouts by the democrats.
This move was prearranged by the repub
lican leaders and was for the purposeot
giving Henry A. Dupont a bails for a contest
before the United States supreme court.
