JAPAN'S EIGHTH DEMAND.

One Iinoivs Why the IVace Negotiations Have Not Ueen Concluded.

"WASHINGTON. April 11.—The cable reports that seven of the eight terms of peace between China and Japan have been agreed on occasions much speculation here as to the eight terms on which Japan insists. The Japanese legation has received no cables in many days, and the officials say they have no information of the eight conditions.

There is no doubt, however, that five of the most essential conditions are those given in these dispatches at the outset of the negotiations, viz: A new JapanChina treaty conceding Japan extra territorial courts in Japan independence of Corea an indemnity of about $200,000,000 occupation of Port Arthur and Wei-Hai-Wei for a term of years cession of the Island of Formosa.

The live terms are now fully confirmed by the later developments of the conference. Three additional ones have now been added, and these, it is believed, relate to trade matters. Which one of these eight terms of peace is the cause of delav is not known here.

Voorliees Says, Will I5e Cha.nnanof Senate Finance Committee.

WASHINGTON, April 11.—Speaking of the reorganization of the senate, which is likely to occur owing to the changes caused by the last election, Senator Voorhees of Indiana said: "1 have no doubt the Republicans will organize the finance committee. I, for one, shall make no opposition and I do hot believe that any other Democrat will. The Republican*, while not possessing a majority over all other parties in the senate, will have a plurality, and it is right that they should take the lead in sliapiug legislation. I expect to surrender the chairmanship of this committee to Senator Morrill at the beginning of the next session." "Then you do not expect Mr. Morrill to relinquish his claim to the chairmanship, as has been intimated he may do?" 'I certainly do not. Why should he He is as vigorous as many younger men, and any effort to displace him would be shameful, after his many years of service on the committee. I should personally resent a movement of that character. Furthermore, I don't believe that Senator Sherman's name in that connection has been used with his knowledge or consent."

EXECUTIVE PARDON.

John W. Jlobray Restored to Citizenship by the President.
