Japan Thinks She Has Won the Right to Ekpect Much From China—Members of the Administration to Take Part of the Money Question Campaign In the Democratic Party. * Washington, April 13.—Minster Karine said, concerning the Japan-China peace nnderstan ling, announced to him by official cable from Tokio yesterday: “The cablegram is brief and does not recite the terms, nor does it say that peace aa yet has actually been agreed upon, hut that an understanding has been reached between the envoys by which peace seems assured. I have no doubt •from this that we will have a treaty within a few days. It undoubtedly will be concluded within the next seven days, as the armistice expires at the end of that time. Should it not be arranged by that time there probably would be no difficulty in continuing/ a truce, now that a peace understanding has been definitely reached. There may be some . delay in arranging the .details of the new Japan-China treaty, as.it will cover all of the commercial interests of the txvo countries. One of the most essential items will be that of flic tariff. Heretofore the Japanese duty has been j per cent on Chinese goods, and under , favored nation clause, all other countries were entitled to this Same rate, but with Japan's new treaties with the United States, Great Britain and, other ‘ countries, all of which contain tile fa- I yored nation clause, it will not longer , be possible to give China the 5 per Cent ; .rate.” . 5 Did Not Want to . Speculate. Mr. Kurino said that in the absence , of definite, word from his government ■ as to the firms of rhe peace understand- _ ibg he did not wish to speculate on the ■ terms. He regarded it as settled, how- I ever, that rhe island of Formosa would be permanently,ceded to Japan. That | much bad already proceeded beyond the stage of contention. He also considered the independence of Korea as settled. This would leave the question of indemnity, of Port Arthur’s occupation and of future treaty arrangements the last subjects on which. Japanese plenipotentiaries may have granted some concessions. These concessions may apply to one or the other of the three terms, or to all of them. The minister is hardly prepared to believe that there will be no occupation of Port Arthur. It is possible that a term of years may be conceded instead of permanent occupation, or else that the extent of surrounding territory may be more restricted than was first contemplated. The indemnity is supposed to be 300,01)0,000 taels, Chinese money. Won the Kight to Expect Much. Mr. Kurino takes a conservative view of the conclusion of peace. He shares thg feeling of his countrymen that Japan has won the right to expect much as the price of peace. The minister communicated the information from. .lauan

The Rus siaji government has also resolved noi to interfere in Armenia in order to have a free hand in the far east. THE MONEY tjIIESTION, Members of the Administration to Ti»k< Part In the Campaign. Washington, April 13.—1 t is now cer tain that several members of the admin istration will take a prominent part it: the political campaigns over the money question that will be carried on in differ ent States. The invitation of the Chi cago business men to President Cleve land asking him to make an address in that city on the subject of the currency has been followed by intimations from others places to the effect that members of the cabinet were wanted to make similar addresses in order that the position of the administration may be placed upon the Country in a more forcible way. The president has not yet answered the Chicago invitation, but if he finds it impossible to go, it is expected that he will decline in a letter expressing clearly his views on the subject of money. The campaign within the Democratic party against the free coinage movement will no doubt take its keynote from the president’s letter and the speeches which may be made by membare of the cabinet. The campaign will be directed against the fret, coinage of silver at 16 to 1, and the assertion will be made that such coinage would mean silver monometalism and would be disastrous to the business interests of the country, great and small, and extend to every class and condition no matter in what pursuit engaged. Delnged With Telegrams. Washington, April 13.—The commissioner of internal revenue continues to be deluged with telegrams asking for information about the income tax.

April 13.—Secretary Morton's instructions regarding investigation into rhe causes for the .prevailing high prices of w’-ats have not disturbed tiie cattleih' j-aLil'pack rs in this city. All of those interviewed in reference to the matter unite in the statement that the scarcity of cattle is the cause, and that there is not the slightest reason for the supposition that a combination exists’ either among the cattlemen dr the packers. The packers ridicule the idea of a combination. Thqy say that where there is such a scramble for cattle the opportunity for combination is reduced to the minimum. Will Fight the Alleged Beef Trust.
