A LIMITED ARMISTIC

JAPAN' MERELY SISPEXDS HOSTILITIES FOR THRER WEEKS. IXoukden, the Gulf of Pe-Ckl-Ll una ' tttf Shannc Tunic Pcnlnnala Only " Protected by the Truce. SHIMONOSEKI. March 30.-It Is officially Announced that an armistice for three weeks has been arranged for Moukden, the Gulf of Pe-Chl-Li and the Shang Tung . peninsula. A conference between the Jap anese peace plenipotentiaries and LI-Hung Chang's eon-ln-law, Lord Li, preceded; the declaration of the armistice. ' PItlXCE LI'S COXDITIOX. China' Viceroy Xot Yet Oat of Dansertirrihnm'i Advices. WASHINGTON. March SO. The Chinese legation has receivea a cablegram from Peking, stating that the condition of LI Hung Chang is still a matter of doubt. The authorities regard the Information as presenting a later phase than the recent unofficial reports which dismissed the wound as of slight importance. It does not express fears of serious results, but the tenor of the dispatch Indicates that It is still too early to feel assured that Prince Li Is entirely out of danger. The cable was evidently sent from Peking prior, to the announcement of an armistice, as it contains no reference to that fact. Xow that suspension of hostilities has been directed, there Is a renewal of interest as to the terms of peace' to follow. While there is no definite Information on the subject at the Chinese , legation the opinion prevails that the money Indemnity will be paid largely In silver. That is the metal in common use In China. Those most familiar with China say that there is no gold coin jn circulation, although that country has,-heretofore, puf chased large supplies of gold bars, and from this accumulation ha3 made : heavy gold exports. , .-- -;.;-"' ' - i Secretary Gresham has received official confirmation . of the declaration of an unconditional armistice by the Emperor of Japan. It is not understood here that this la, In any sense, equivalent to a declaration of peace, but it; is believed that there Is not likely to be a resumption of hostili ties. The negotiations ; may continue for a J jong iinie Deiore a peace treaty is signed and it is quite certain that Japan will abate none of her demands on account of the armistice. In fact. thf crantina' of th lat ter is looked on as a shrewd move by the Japanese Emperor to diminish the harmful effect of the attack on Li Hung Chang. If the war were prosecuted now it would have . the ' effect to force , the peace negotiations to a speedy conclusion, and it is- realized by the Japanese that in the present state of feeling, caused-by the attack', they ' could scarcely Llslst OD-as-good terms of peace as can be realized after the lapse' of a few weeks, when the first impression will have' worn off. It is noted here with interest that the terms of the armistice do not apply to tho lower coast df China, and, particularly, to Formosa and the Fisher islands. This is taken to mean that the Japanese have determined to occupy Formosa before the peate negotiations are complete and the explanation of this purpose is found in the fact that it. is almost an invariable rule of International law that a nation must be in actual armed possession of a territory as a basis for a demand for its cession. ( . The Japanese legation had not, up to noon to-day. received additional informa tion concerning the armistice. The officials,, oeueve, nowever, mat me next step win be the issuance of a proclamation by Japan, and unofficial word has already reached the legation that this has been done. Confidence is expressed that the Em-:i peror's proclamation will be accepted at -once by . the armies. There is telegraph communication with the various divisions at Port Arthur, New Chwang and Wei-Hai-WM, although It takes twelve hours to reach the last-named place. LOSSES IN BATTLE.

HIS RULING PASSION T" I : THE PRIXCE OF "WALES IS STILL PARTIAL TO PRETTY WOME.Y. London Goaslpa Say That He and His AVife Seldom Remain in the Same Country Together. LONDON, March 30. With the Prince of WalesfSffetarn to London from the Riviera, the anonuncement is made that the Princess Of Wales, is going to Copenhagen next week on a visit to her parents, the King and Queen of Denmark. This has started gossip . afresh and has brought into prominence the fact that the Prince and Princess of- Wales seldom remain in the same country to-. gether. The Princess has spent very little time4 in England during the past two years. Incidentally, it is announced that the Prince iof Wales will soon pay another visit to the Earl and Countess of Warwick, the latter being more generally known as the famous beauty, Lady Brooke, her former title. During the stay of the Prince of Wales at the Riviera his partialty for Americans and especially for ladies, again was remarked with many ill-natured comments from expectant Britishers ' hovering near. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Winslow and Mr. and'Mrs. Ogden Goelet-were seen to be on terms of intimacy with tho Prince which are enjoyed by but few English people. In the Prince of Wales's set much regret is expressed at the fact that the gale of Saturday last did. .much damage in the grounds of Sandringham Palace, the residence of the . Prince.. It is said that the loss through the storm will foot up over $10,000. Amdng the treo-i blown down were some planted by the Prince of Wales himself, which had special historic interest. Influenza is no longer a startling feature of London, although many victims of the epidemic are still on the debatable ground between recovery and relapse. The Lancet and the British -Medical Journal both announce that Lord Rosebery has gained strength greatly and that he was able this week to sleep without the use of narcotics.' At the same time it is learned from a most excellent source that the Premier's physicians-are much alarmed on account of the fact that his stomach has given out and that his system refuses to respond to stimulants. On top of this, the Premier insists on attending daily to certain business which makes the situation unfavorable to recovery. Both the Lancet and British Medical Journal finally admit that the Duke of York, heir presumptive to the throne, is suffering from a mild form of influenza. ; , A subscription has been opened for James McN. Whistler by the Pall Mall Gazette. and a number of artists are contributing to the fund. Dr. George Moore, the novelist, who acted as intermediary between Whistler and Sir William Eden and who was challenged by the artist to tight a duel says: "I cannot tight an old gentleman. The grounds of - the quarrel are too infinitesimal for Whistler to invite me to Belgium. He might as well ask me to dress like a red Indian and parade Picadilly with a tomaJl&WlC " " l '-it " ' t The Tennyson memorial committee has issued a public acknowledgement of the generous subscriptions received from Americans.

C. member of Parliament for-" Carlisle, for the speakership of the House of Commons, to succeed Sir Arthur Wellesley Peel. Mr. Gully was born in London in 1835, and was "educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. He was president of the Cambridge Union and was called to the bar at the Inner Temple in 1X60. He became Queen's counsel in 1877 and bencher of his inn in 1879. He was appointed recorder of Wigan in 1886, and successfully contested Whitehaven in 1880 and 1885. He has sat for Carlisle since 1SS6. Mr. Gully is a Liberal, supporting Mr.. Gladstone's Irish policy. Simply Uritiah 'SwasRer.'" PARIS, March 30. Most of the French newspapers to-day agreed that-M. Hanotaux, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, must reply to the utterances of Sir Edward Grey, the Parliamentary Secretary for Foreign Affairs in the British House of Commons, on Thursday night, with energetic protests. Several of the newspapers take the view that Sir Edward Grey's statement was simply "swagger" arising from the fear that the government would find itself in the minoritv unless it makes a patriotic display. The Figaro says: "The Quay d'Orsay (the French Foreign Office) will again show that it knows how. without losing its temper, to put the British Foreign Office in its proper place.'!

OXFORD'S CREW WON

CAMBRIDGE DEFEATED AG A IX IX THE GREAT 'VARSITY BOAT RACE. The Dark Blue One Length nnd s Half Ahead at the Finish Time, 20 Minutes, SO Second. PUTNEY, March 30. Oxford won the fifty-seventh boat race to-day between the crews representing the universities of Oxford and Cambriuge, crossing the line one and a half lengths ahead, and covering the , course in twenty minutes and fifty-two sec-' ends. ' The morning was gloomy and cold, but this' did not prevent crowds of people from wending their way to Putney in order to ( watch the final practice of the crews. During the morning both the Oxford and the Cambridge boats practiced starting for about a quarter of an hour. Rain fell at , Intervals throughout the morning and a strong southwest wind was blowing; but the banks of the river Thames were crowd-, ed at an early hour. At 3 p. m. the Cambridge coxswain went over the course again -In a steam launch. Happily, the wind mod- ,- erated greatly during the afternoon, until ; at 3:30 p. m. it was very light and the . water was almost smooth. . The press and the umpire's boats took urt. their positions when the hour for the race approached, and they were shortly followed, by the crews. Oxford won the toss and , chose the Surrey side of the river. The scene on the Thames was animated as usual and until the course was cleared the river was alive with craft.of all kinds." The boat houses of the two crews were besieged with their admirers early in the day,', and both Oxford and Cambridge were loudly, cheered as they launched their boats. The1 betting just previous to the start was unchanged from that of last night, whed 'theiodds were 9 to 2 on Oxford. yf: ": ; The crews started at 4:08 p. mi, "and Oxi ford soon had a lead of half a length. At Clasper's boat house Oxford held her lead, but at Craven Cottage, less than ' threequarters of a mile from the star'Oxford was only 5i length ahead, ancf at4Wa13ens the dark blue boat had not increased this lead. At Hammersmith brldge,fi little over one and tnree-quarter mile .from the start, Oxford had increased the lead to half a length and waa widening the gap. At Thornycrofts, about three miles from thestart, Oxford was a length and4 a quarter ahead, and at the Devonshire Meadows the dark blue was leading by about two lengths.1 Oxford, . at Barnes bridge, slightly over ; three and a half miles from the start, held,' the lead, and eventually won by a length and a half. r;---Oxford started at forty strokes to a min-' ute, the Cambridge stroke contenting him-,, self with thirty-eight. The dark blues throughout the race pulled steadily and like" clock work. Opposite Lead Mills Cambridge drew up a little, but the hopes of the admirers of the light blue soon faded away and Oxford increased her lead as she liked. Opposite the Doves, about two miles i from the start. Oxford was pullinc thirty- , nine and Cambridge thirty-eight strokes to the minute. Shortly after passing the Doves, Cambridge again spurted and reduced Oxford's lead a trifle, but the dark, blues had increased their lead- to two lengths at the Devonshire Meadows, and this lead Cambriage could not cut down to, any great extent. ..nen the Oxford boat shot under Barnes bridge the dark blue were rowing well within their strength and in perfect -form. The Cantabs towed gallantly throughout and did better than expected, but they had evidently had enough of it at the finish. Accoruing to the judges' -decision Oxford won by a length, and a half. v-The race to-day was over the usual course' from obliquely opposite the Star and GarterJ Inn at tnitney to the nnish line, 120 yards,, above the Ship Inn at Mortlake. .The exacts length qf the course as measured by the. Thames conservancy is four milestone furlong 180 yaras. If you stand on Putney1 bridge and face as the bows of ffee facing boats point, up stream, the Middlesex shore is on the right hand and the Surrey shore is on the left. From the start the river curves to the right as far as the Crabtree. thence to the left all the way to thef ;three-mlle post, when it again inclines to.: the tight up to the finish. , ,. AMERICAN SPORTIXG LEAGUE. Proponed Protective Organization of Racing; Men nnd Horse Breeders. CLEVELAND, O., Mai-ch SO. A call was issued to-day for a convention to be held in this city on April 9 for the purpose of organizing the American Sporting League. The call, which is signed by the president of the National Trotting Association, twelve driving park associations, and a number of breeders, is as follows: "The undersigned beg leave to call the attention of the puoiic who favor the manly sports, pastimes and recreations of our people to the convention which meets in Cleveland April 9 for the purpose of organizing a league to protect them from hostile legislation and keep them on so high a plane that just criticism of an adverse character will be impossible. We recognize the fact that there are abuses to correct, and that an organization composed of the friends and active participants In these recreations, and the legitimate business incident to . them, will be powerful to accomplish the corrections and at the same time 'stand as a stone wall' against the unjust assaults of those who have other interests or pleasures, or an overween'ng des-r to meddle with the conduct of their neighbors. Associations from every section of our country have named delegates to the convention, and we trust that every community feeling a pride in the history and honorable character of our pastimes will join with them and co-operate for the establishment and maintenance of healthy regulations, consistent with personal" liberty and the law of the land. With such an organization, having its friends on guard everywhere, we will have less to apprehend in the future from the periodical crusades that have been so unjust to us in the past." , Football Rules Changed. , v CHICAGO, March 30. Several important changes in playing rules were discussed at the meeting of ; college football players at Evanston to-day. The committee on rules reported in favor of assigning to each game two umpires and one referee. One substitute from each team was suggested as a linsman in every game. This afternoon a delegate was appointed to report the results of the conference to a meeting "of Eastern players at New York. PREMIER GREEN WAY TALKS. The Maaltoban'n View of the Action of Sir Charles Tupncr. WINNIPEG, Man., March 30. The Parliament buildings had a dessrted appearance this afternoon, but upstairs in the caucus room the Premier and Minister of Public Works were discussing the school question and the political situation at Ottawa with several of the members when a reporter looked in. The Premier said that if dispatches from Ottawa were correct regarding Sir Charles Tupper's return to oftice, tbey cci-firmed his previously expressed opinion that the Minister of Justice had taken a broad and statesmanlike view of the school question. "Sir Charles's position seems to be that there shall be no compulsion' exercised by party regarding passage of remedial legislation,": said the Premier, "but that the cjuestion shall be left an cpen one for members to vote upon as they see lit. This, of course, is tho cor rect attitude to assume." In reply to a query, the Premier continued: ."There is no likelihood that the Quebec members will be able to foice the Dominion government to legislate at the ojening of the session on the plea that Manitoba has refused to pay attention to the remedial order. Such a course, in view of the fact that at come inconvenience to the members we have adjourned the House for a tim that thf' order may be fully and deliberately considered, would be isnstatesmanliks and , impossible." The opposition members deny that they have declared for secular schools, but they will undoubtedly opprt-e tho- government. SiO,000 Reward Offered. . KANSAS CITY. Mo.; March 20.
