reigns. - Watsenburg and Rouse are both off the main line of the railroad and attempts to secure further details have failed, because the telegraph offices are closed at nlght.Vhe work of the mob was done to avenge a Peculiarly brutal crime. 'At 7 o'clock Monday morning two men en route to work at Rouse discovered A.- J. Hixon,- proprietor of a saloon, in a dying- condition about an eighth of a mile from his place of business. Mr. Hixon had been struck on .the head with a blunt weapon and was unconscious. He-expired within an hour. Some ten days since, T. J. - Brewer. pit boss of ' Kcuse, imported a trained bloodhound vhich was promptly -summoned. r The animal rushed away from the trail, and within ten minutes seized a table leg In the rear of a saloon located half -a milei distant. - On examination blood was found on this leg. The log then proceeded to the saloon door, and two men. Lorenzo Danlno and Jobatto Antonio, who were . discovered therein, were arrested. Two more men, Pete Rozetta and Frank Anrico, were arrested in a cabin near by. Admission of knowledge of the murder were secured from two of them immediately on their arrest, and later they divulged the names of seven others who were with, them, and charged Lorenzo Danino with the murder. Two of the men had started south. The officers were quickly in the saddle, and the entire nine were under arrest at 4 p. m. The names of the additional live are: Peter Jacobin 1, Francesco Bonketto and Corporaila, Nijio and Nlcholal, whose Christian names are unknown. Threats of lynching Danino were generally indulged in during the day, and quite a number of men were scattered along the route to Watsenburg, but it was thought there was scarcely a possibility that violence would be attempted. Hixon was rather popular with the American miners, and general indignation prevails. He was an Arkansan, late of Texas, and was thirtyseven years of age. He is supposed to have returned from Watsenburg on horseback about 10 o'clock, and to have been taken un- . awares. The incentive of the murder is a problem, as Hixon was not of an aggressive or quarrelsome disposition. TAYLOR CAPTURED. Sooth Dakota's Defaulting Treasurer Arrested in Mexico. ' r TAMPA, Fla March 12. W. H. Taylor, .the defaulting South 'Dakota treasurer, was arrested last Sunday in Mexico by Pinkerton agents. Taylor, under the nameof Mason, and a companion, calling " himself Phelps, passed through here several weeks ago. They went to Havana and the chief of police of that city was paid $2,000 to locate Taylor, which he did. on a steamer bound for Vera Cruz, Mexico. RIOTS OX THE LEVEE. (Concluded from Flmt Page.) . Orleans, and this force could easily and quickly be supplemented by troops from the Department of Texas. The British foreign office has also had Its attention - called to the depredations in Louisiana and has asked the British embassy at Washington to investigate. The complaint was made-to the foreign office by the steamship Lloyds as a result of the tiring of British ships, presumably by incendiaries as a result of the racial troubles. The authorities are not disposed to protest so long as the depredations are not especially, directed against British subjects, as they say they do not expect, under the treaty, any greater protection than that afforded to Americans. The wounding of Purser Bain, of the British steams'hdp Engineer in the fight to-day has not been reported to the embassy. The British officials here regard the present trouble as part of the racial agitation which has been going on for some time and which first broke out in connection with cotton ships. The white laborers of that section object to the employment' of negro Jabor on the ships, and to this feeling is attributed many of the Incendiary; fines which have occurred. The progress of the trouble is being closely observed by the British officials, although they feel confident that the local authorities In Louisiana are doing everything possible to suppress the disorder and If the trouble passes beyond . local . control the federal authorities will take such steps as are necessary to protect foreigners and Americans alike. It is said that the complaint of the Englishman, Bain,' would first be submitted to the British coneul at New Orleans, who would communicate with the foreign office at London or direct to the embassy here, according to the emergency. If the offense was shown to be against Bain because he was an Englishman, it Is said Sir Julian Pauncefote would demand an explanation. If, however, Bain's nationality 'had no part in the affair, and he was bit because he was in the mob, no attention would be given to the incident. The action of the Italian government at the time of the New Orleans lynching Is cited as showing the diplomatic aspect of the trouble. The lynchings were against Italians, as such, and not against a miscellaneous mob, including Italians. For .that reason Italy protested and then summarily broke off diplomatic relations with the lTnited States by having Baron Fava demand his passports. The United States ultlmatelypald an Indemnity to the frtmilies of those lynched. It is said the same rule would now apply to affairs against Englishmen, as such, but not to miscellaneous mobs including some Englishmen. GOVERNOR A LTUELD'S VIEWS. Be Satirically Applauds , Olney'a Action IleKardlnff Troops. SPRINGFIELD, 111., March 12. Gove -nor John P. Altgeld was this evening asked his opinion regarding Attorney-general Olney's negative reply to the request of the United States attorney. at New Orleans asking lor federal troops to assit in quelling the riots there. ;'" '. Governor Altgeld expressed some surprise that the national government shou.i change: Its policy absolutely regarding the sending of troops into States Where trouble exists. Jle maintained the position he took ljst summer, when federal troops were sent Into Illinois to put down strikers. He said that Attorney-genral Olney was clearly right. The Governor gave out the following statement for publication: "They are having trouble elong the docks of New Orleans and several men have been killed. The affair Is o serious that commerce Is not only Interfered with, but in some cases is stopped.; It teems that ihts Unltedv States district attorney r.t New Orleans applied to the authorities at. Washington for United States troops, and, according to the dispatches, Attorney-general Olney replied that 'The .Stave must llrst exhaust its resources or deny protection te fore the United States troops can ue ur.cd. . In this the Attorney-general is clearly right. That has been . the. doctrine of our government from its foundation until It was trampled under foot at Chicago last summer. It embodies the very essence ot local self-government and free initiations carr.ot exist without respecting this principle..' The moment it is Ignored every thing is left to the discretion, that is, the will, of one man respecting the central power.

TERMS OF THE PEACE

WHAT CHINA WILL PROBABLY AGREE TO GIVE JAPAN. Island of Formosa May Be Ceded and Right to Occupy Port Arthur and Wel-Hal-Wei Accorded. COItEA Tp BE INDEPENDENT THE CASH INDEMNITY, FIXED AT . f 250,000,000 IN GOLD. Important Concession Ilegardlng Extraterritorial Rights Mail Advices from the Scat of War. WASHINGTON, March 12. As a result of the negotiations between Minister, Dun, in Japan, and Minister Denby, in China, the terms of the peace about to be conclude between 'China and Japan are now known with little short of exactness. As understood In high official circles- they are as follows: , - First The treaty between' Japan and China has ceased to exist by reason of the war, but on the renewal of peace the new treaty will grant Japan extraterritorial jurisdiction over China, but the latter country will surrender the extraterritorial Jurisdiction she formerly held in Japan. Second There will be no- extension of Japanese territory on the main land of Asia. But the island of Formosa, a Chinese possession lying off the coast, will be permanently ceded to Japan. Third The Japanese will by treaty be granted the right to continue the occupation of Port Arthur and Wei-Hal-Wei, the two great naval stations leading to the Gulf of Pe-Chi-Li for a term of years. Fourth The claims of China that Corea is a dependency of hers shall be forever relinquished, and Corea shall henceforth be independent-Fifth-The cash Indemnity to be paid by China will not exceed $250,000,000 in gold. ' The foregoing terms give a number of new features which the cable information from Peking and Tokio has not. thus far disclosed. The purpose not to extend Japanese territory on the mainland, but to confine It to the outlying island of Formosa, assures the conclusion of a peace without European intervention. The maintenance of Japan's extraterritorial , Jurisdiction in China while the latter country surrenders a similar jurisdiction, leaves China as the only Oriental country submitting to the jurisdiction. Until recently all civilized nations have insisted that the courts were so primitive and punishment so barbarous in both China and Japan that consular courts should protect foreigners residing in these countries. Japan has recently negotiated a new set. of treaties with the United States, Great Britain and other countries In which her modern court procedure is recognized and consular courts abandoned. In conformity with this new system Japan now dominates- China's consular courts in Japan, although Japan's consular courts in China are to be continued. This presents a; singular spectacle of China conceding the advance of Japan into modern methods, while at the same time conceding that she is still in the benighted condition requiring extraterritorial, jurisdiction to protect foreigners in China. Probably the most important concession Is Japan's occupation of Port Arthur and Wel-Hai-Wei for a term of years. This will assure a continuance of the peace for many years, as China is in no condition to renew hostilities so long as the gateway to Peking and to China's commerce is guarded on either side by tne great fortresses which Cbina grants to Japan for a term of years. The permanent annexation of Formosa to Japan will give a rich and fertile country to the Japanese. The productions of the lBland are very extensive. Moreover, there are extensive tracts of arable land well suited to Japanese coolie labor, should it be desired to withdraw the Japanese from Hawaii. AT THE SEAT OF WAR. Mall Advices from the - Orient The Fall of Wel-Hal-Wei. VICTORIA, B. C. March 12. The steamship Empress of India with Yokohoma, advices to March 1, arrived this morning. Admiral Ting's proposal to surrender the forts on Lul Kung island and what remained of his fleet was brought to the Japanese naval commander Feb. 12 by the captain of the gun boat Chen Pel. The document . sets forth that as , resolute fighting had not availed, and as many ships had been sunk and many men killed, they had come to yield. Everything should uv siven.up Japan on condition that all persons, Chinese and foreign, connected with the defeated army and navy, should be uninjured.- The writer suggested that the British admirals should guarantee the good faith of the offer. The conditions specifier by Admiral Ting were assented to by ths British commander and accepted. An . urgent appeal was made that the vanquished should seek an asylum in Japan until the end of the war. With his communition to this effect, Ito sent hampers of refreshments, champagne and the like, which his adversary declined to receive. The following morning a messenger announced that Admiral Ting had committed suicide immediately after writing a response to Admiral Ito's letter. Two of the principal military officers on Lul Kung island had likewise destroyed themselves. In a communication addessed by Ito to the officer in command of the Pel Yang squadron, the determination cf Japan to recognize no Europeans as holding authority on behalf of China was declared. Feb. 17 the surrendered vessels were delivered to their new owners, with the exception of Kwang Chi, . which Admiral Ito pave back in order that the remains of the late Chinese commander should be taken away in a man-of-war belonging to . his country. On the 19th the garrison of Lui Kung, numbering 2.000 and 4,000 sailors of the Pel Yang squadron, were sent to the mainland and escorted to Japanese outposts some twenty miles from Che-Foo and set at liberty. It is reported that s.mong the foreign prisoners were the two Americans Howie and Wilde. 'As these men had abused the confidence and generosity of the Japanese government, having given pledges at Kobe that they would not serve in China end accepted money for their traveling expenses to America, they were detained for trial by court-martlai. ( The credit of the achievements at Wel-Hai-Wei belongs chiefly to the torpedo boats. The bombardment by the large ships alone might have continued for many weeks without producing such results as were actually accomplished in two nights. By extraordinary good fortune the torpedo flotilla got through its task without severe losses. The enemy, it appears, had no longer spirit enough to retaliate. Five ships were sent to the bottom within thirty hours by these daring pigmies. The Japanese forces in Shan Tung have done little since the forts were taken at the beginning of February. Scouting parties have pushed westward as far as Ning Hal. The people had been ruthlessly pillaged by retreating soldiers and the few who resisted extortion were cut down without mercy. General Oyama sent a letter to the foreign consuls at Che-Foo announcing that in case he takes possession no soldiers will be allowed to enter the European and American quarters until the police force ehall have been posted there to maintain order. Li Hung Chang, who has been appointed peace embassador, proposes to embark for Japan March 3, and he will do so depending on the Chinese Emperor's ability to remain in the same mind for a full week. As soon" as Li had left the Capital a report was circulated that the court had been ordered to submit the whole question of prolonging the war to the provincial viceroys and to be guided by the votes of the majority. Mr. Foster has been in consultation with the Tsung LI Yamen. but his voice is said to be less potent than was anticipated. No minute examination of the reoorts of the envoys is needed to show that Mr. Foster did not assist in its composition. -. AGRARIAN REFORMS. Speech of the KaUrr to n Committee of t lir- State Council. BERLIN, March 12. Emperor William, this, afternoon, opened the session of the husbandry committee of the State Council, called to consider agrarian reforms. Addressing the council, he said: "Gentlemen The continued unfavorable condition of husbandry Imposes on my gov

ernment, as I have repeatedly pointed out, the Imperative duty of devising ways and means calculated to increase the profit derived from the cultivation of the soil and the thousand dangers to which those engaged in husbandry are at present exposed. The more ardently the question of warding off distress is discussed, in ever-widening circles and the more numerous and.,fradical may be the proposals which are brought forward to that end, the more thoroughly will they have to be examined. In view of these considerations, I have decided to take the opinion of the committee of the State Council which has been strengthened by men from whose practical or scientific activity a proper appreciation of the questions under discussion may be expected. "I thank you for the kindness with which you have responded to my summons. From 'the deliberations of this assembly I anticipate . a result that the widely divergent views on the question as to what is possible and obtainable will be corrected and brought nearer to an understanding and ait the same time a valuable basis will be found for my decisions and for those of my government. It will be to me a source of satisfaction should the proposals issuing from your midst assume a shape indicating their practicability, and if your deliberations should be directed to those oblects which, without Injuring other just interests, and respecting existing treaty arrangements, are calculated to remove so far as feasible the depression In husbandry." - The council then proceeded to discuss the first order of the day, described as measures to raise the price of corn. , "If Governor Marvel Should Die. , WILMINGTON, Del., March 12. Governor Joshua H. Marvel is seriously ill- at his home at Laurel, although word comes from there to-night that he Is in no immediate danger, and that his condition is slightly improved. The Illness of the Governor has caused much commotion in political circles. He is more than seventy years of age. All the State officers are appointed by the Governor, and should this Illness terminate fatally he will be succeeded by Speaker William T. Watson, of the Senate, who is a Democrat, This would throw all the State patronage to the Democrats. If Speaker Watson becomes Governor a new State Senator would have to be chosen from Kent county. With Mr. Watson Governor the Senate would stand four Democrats and four Republicans. The Democrats carried Kent county last fall by about 100 majority. If a new-election were ordered it would be very exciting, as the control of the Legislature would be involved in the election of this Senator. Funeral of Iaiaall Pasha. CAIRO, March 12. The remains of Ismail Pasha, ex-Khedive of Egypt, who died recently at Constantinople, arrived here from Alexandria last evening, and were conveyed to-day to the Rifa Mosque, where they were interred with much pomp. The funeral procession ' which followed the remains was composed of the chief European and Egyptian officials, the members of the diplomatic ' corps, the religious notabilities, etc. The Khedive led the way on foot. Behind him were the bearers of the sacred rolls and the Koran and other officials swinging censers and sprinkling perfume. Then - came the coffin, enveloped in drapery and surmounted by Ismail's fez. The coffin was carried on the shoulders of members of the Khedival guards. The whole route followed by the funeral procession was lined by British and Egyptian troops, behind whom were multitudes of spectators. Minute guns were fired while the funeral was in progress. Anti-Revolution Bill Read. " BERLIN. March 12.

The second reading will take place March 20. The lower house of the P russian Diet today rejected a motion made on behalf of the Polish members to repal the statutes encouraging German settlers to establish themselves in West Prussia and Posen. The Poles and the members of the Freisiimige and Center parties voted with the minority, Herr Moinecke declared that instead of repealing the statutes the government ought to consider the advisability of strengthening these laws. Negroes Will Go to Nicaragua. MANAGUA, Nicaragua, March 12. The government has arranged with an American syndicate for the introduction of 2,500 ablebodied negroes and their families from the United States to be employed most of them in agriculture in the coast country, and it has received advices that a lot of the negroes are already en route. The syndicate also proposes to erect new telegraph lines and a railroad.

The miners of the Pittsburg district claim that victory Is theirs, that they have won the strike for higher wages, and they produce the figures to prove their claims. With a capitulation of the river operators to the demands for 69 cents per ton, 8.000 miners went back to work at union wages. But in the rush of a resumption of work these 8,000 men were not sufficient, and 2,000 miners from the railroad mines have been furnished work. Besides this, there are 6,000 men at work at the union rates in the railroad mines, according to the figures of the miners officials. Thus 16,000 men, out of a total cf 22,000 in the district, are now at work at the 6-cent rate, and the miners claim that the battle 13 practically won, as the remaining operators cannot afford to keep their mines closed and let their trade go to their competitors. The strike is not yet a week old. and the miners feel that their bold, decisive action has won for them the victory. The demand for coal is good, and the visible supply Is very short.- Lake shipments will begin next month, and the operators are in no condition to meet the oraers which the opening of the lake trade will bring them. William B. Wilson, the general master workman of the independent order Knights of Labor, the new organization, is in the city, and i3 jubilant at the prospects of the miners. He feels that the first fight of the new order will be a winning one, and if such proves the case it will receive a big boom. AVest Virginia Miners Go to Work. CLARKSBURG, W. Va., March 12.

An Unfortunate Woman Who Sells Newspapers on the Street. Brooklyn Letter In Pittsburg ChronicleTelegraph. There Is a petite woman, with an air of refinement, about her, who sells newspapers in front of the postoffice building on Washington street, who does not seem in the least fitted for the work and whose fits of coughing are apparently distressing to her, while they evoke the pity of those who witness them. She is at a lowly employment and few know that she is of noble birth and connection. Always neatly attired, and with a pair of black eyes looking through spectacles, this little woman is very much unlike the ordinary run of news women. Her appearance and the gentle "thank you" she utters when one buys a paper from her, have made her an object of interest to a great many Brooklynites, some of whom go out of their way to buy of her. She is at her post in the early morning, and then she is succeeded by a young man, who takes charge "of the little news stand for the rest of the day. This woman claims to be of noble birth. Her name is Josephine Suffeenazka Javoska. he is a nafSve of Poland and Pulaski, the Polish patriot, who helped to fight the battles of American independence, was her granduncle. The Countess Josephine Suffeenazka Javosa occupies apartments at Livingston street and says that she simply desires to earn a living for herself in the field of labor she has been obliged to? accept through force of circumstances. She has no desire to be idle and, although she does not like the constant exposure to bad Weather, she is pleased with a work that gives her a chance to take . her mind off herself. It Is twenty-two years since the Countess came to this country. She is about forty-five years of age and must have been quite comely in her youthful days. Her birthplace was Little Russia, and her father, she says, was a nobleman. Of her mother she speaks as one of high birth. The couple had three children, two being sons, one of them younger than the Countess. The brothers of the countess, after the death of their parents, became involved in the Polish Insurrection and she was horrified to learn that they had been captured and consigned to Siberia. She never heard of them again, although she forsook the boarding school she was attending at the time and Journeyed into Siberia in search of them. Heart-broken, she was finally compelled to give up the hopeless task and return to Kazan. It ' was at the latter place that the little woman met her lover, Javoska, whose wife she became. He was handsome, well-educated and wealthy. Josephine does not speak ill of him now, although she was compelled, after a brief spell of married life, to leave him. The Count Javoska developed a passion for other women, which aroused his wife's indignation, she says, and she would not live with him longer. Whether he is dead or not she does not knowj "I stood it as long as I could," she said. "I told him that I should be the one woman to him and not one in twenty, and, as that did not do, I got a divorce. I preferred poverty to wealth under such circumstances." Her marital ties broken, the Countess was forced to depend upon her own efforts to maintain an existence. Having the document that proved, as she says, her relationship to Pulaski, and knowing that the American government was her debtor, she made a claim for her money, but she has never seen a dollar of it. Her story Is that her passage to America twfenty-two years ago was paid by Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, under instructions from General Grant, but that then the efforts made to induce the payment of her claims was defeated through the agency of the Russian government. A bill to reimburse her as the representative of Pulaski for his services was never passed, although one was offered. She thinks the country owed Pulaski $2,000,000 at that time. Josephine eventually found herself regarded as an impostor. She was made out to be insane, and committal to an asylum near Washington followed. Through the efforts of some kindly persons who knew that she was not insane her release was procured. She was given a position in the quartermaster-general's department, which she retained until the present administration came in. After her discharge the Countess came to Brooklyn, and since last May she has been a newswoman. She says that she believes that Russia will eventually gain possession of Pulaski's money, and that she will see the color of it. Judge Otterbourg. of New York, was active in behalf of the Countess at the time, but he died, and since then she has been unable to pay any one to make an effort to secure for her a recognition of her claim. A Chicago Defaulter. CHICAGO March 12. For more . than seventeen years, Charles A. Sturges was the head bookkeeper and cashier for Procter & Gamble, soap manufacturers. To-day he is a defaulter and a fugitive from justice. The exact amount of his defalcation will not be given out by the firm whose money he took, but it is said the figure will not fall short of $25,000. Ills peculations, which extend over a period of seven years were, discovered three weeks ago. No reasDn for the theft is now known as he had no expensive habits. He is fifty years of age and has a wife and three children. What Free Coinage Would Do. Louisville Commercial.
