WALKERTON INDEPENDENT. WALKERTON, - INDIANA. CHINA MI ST SETTLE. JAPAN’S INDEMNITY ON A GRADUATED SCALE. Death by Drowning in a Wreck —Bohl Thieves in Hoboken Rich Strike in Boise City—Mercy for Gen. Swaim— Smugglers Arrested. Japan Will Take $100,000,000. ' According to the semi-official press <»f ^Tokahama Japan has decided to insist upon heavy conditions of peace, which will be increased as the war is prolonged. If the war was concluded at the present time Japan would accept an indemnity of 400,000,000 yen ($400,000,000) and the cession of the territory now occupied by her forces. Too much weight should not be attached to the Chinese overtures for peace, for it is believed Japan will be requested to give her enemy further proof of the power of Japan in order that the Chinese people may learn that their Government sued for peace. If China is unable to pay the war indemnity immediately a portion of the sura decided upon paid down will be accepted and the remainder may be paid in installments with interest. It must, however, be stipulated that the power of Japan is regarded as absolute and then there will be no further opposition to the conclusion of peace. Cars Roll Into Bake Champlain. Passengers from the Montreal express of the Delaware and Hudson Road, which was wrecked at Port Henry Monday afternoon, reached Albany, N. Y., at midnight.

The top camo off and two men escaped. They were picked up by a boy in a boat. Two others in the car were drowned. Steal $7,350 Worth of Stamps. In Hoboken Monday afternoon the post office was robbed of $7,350 worth of stamps. They were in a steel chest in a vault adjoining the postmaster's office.

WASHINGTON Secretary Gresham has asked Great Britain to explain her occupancy of the Mosquito rest ry nt ion. ’the Secret Service Di-partment hns called attention to a very dangerous counterfeit 82 silvt r ccrtitiente, series Ispp sigmtl by W. S R se« runs. Register, and L H. Nebekor. Treasurer. In conni'ction with the strong presentation by Secretry Herbert of tho neces sity for the procurement of a number of new t«Tpedo boats, a proj>osition has been made to him whereby the navy maybe made very ptpular in the vast inter- i ior of the United States, yvhere It is noyv j almost unknown, and. more imp>rtant still, the navy may hold at its disposal i a laruo n r e of trained sailors, particu- i larly expert in the torpedo service, yvhich there i> noyv no adequate opportunity to develop. The plan in brief is for the : Goyernmeut to build a large number of torpedo boats, and to lend them to the States’ naval militia to be used at any (Kiint on the river, lake, or even canal, where yvater may be found, to navigate th< in. There are very feyv States yvhere the smaller boats of this kind may not find some yvater to navigate, and yvith tln> inducement of the free use of such craft it is not doubted that naval militiamen will be forthcoming in States yvhere there is im other means of drilling them. Competent engineers and ordnance otlicts yvould be detailed to instruct the militia in tho use of these boats, and the men yvould be free to avail themselves of them for drills and even for excursions, yvith the under- tatiding that they should employ no outside , help, but yvould perform every office on the boat themselves, steering, tiring and ' running the mgines.

The American Legation in danger ot being sacked Need immediate protection.” That is the sub-

stiwro o f a cable received Friday at ^■Pdngton by Secretary Gresham from Mjbster Penby at Pekin. Secretary ^^sham made an immediate call upon ^wretary Herbert of the Navy and the Were closeted together for an hour a half. The result was a cable to fcister Denby that steps had been taken Stafford protection. The officials of the 2f»te and Navy departments refused to jßcuss at any length the cable correjkmdenee. >A dispatch from Shanghai says that #'eat excitement prevails in naval circles ^Eere in consequence of the departure of Kritiish warships from that port under ;seaWJ orders. The presence of threo British cruisers opposite the estuary of Lien Tang Kian is considered to shoyv that Great Britain has decided to more than forestall her rivals in the East, and to obtain a voice in the settlement to bo arrived at betyveen Japan and China. Thq dispatch adds that fears are increasing that Li Hung Chang yvill place himself at the head of the army yvhich he has created for his own purposes. Thousands of! troops are reported to be arriving from, different parts of the country for service under Li Hung Chang. Prime Minister Ito decided not to receive Mr. Dietring,l the envoy sent to Japan to negotiate peace. In the meantime Mr. Dietring was recalled to China by Li Hung Chang. Mr. Dietring had a brief intervieyv yvith the Chief Secretary of the Cabinet, who arrived from Hiroshima Is'fore the envoy took his departure for Tien Tsin. The JUatjve press is generally indignant that Thnf^'Sliould send a foreign agent to negotiate for peace. Tho British lion has Hod in dismay from the angry scream of the American eagle, and the Bluefields ‘'incident" that threatened to involve England and the United States in a most serious quarrel is in process of swift and ismeeful settle-

ment u(x>n terms yvhich yvill be entirely satisfactory to this country. The State Department is not yet in receipt of official information from Minister Bayard, but from the tenor of preliminary negotiation it is satisfied that the British are about to formally renounce all pretense of a right to mix into Nicaraguan affairs and draw off jiermanently. Tho electric suddenness of the protest ot tho United States against what yvna felt to be a dangerous and untenable claim on the part of the British Foreign Dffice, hateful to every patriotic American instinct, startled the phlegmatic Englishmen into I unusual activity. Syvift denial of hostile । intent ensued, follow ed quickly by unofficial but authoritative notice of retreat I from the position sought to be occupied. I and the war cloud is passing away. The details of the proceeding only remain to j Is' arranged, a diplomatic process that will take time, but it is safe to assume 1 i that England has already abandoned hope | of being able to utilize the Mosquito Strip | ns a club »o hold over the proji-eted Nicaragua cn ml. The bluff was made and calbHl, and the incident is already considI ered as g.»»l ns closed. This most happy conclusion of the Blm tields matter has | caus«sl a smile to suffuse the face of the I Adniinistrnti.m. Princess Bismarck, wife of Prince Bis- ! tnarvk. died nt Varzin nt 5 o’clock Tues- . day morning. Princess Bismarck (Duchess of l.nuenburg). wife of Prince Bisman k, hns been in poor health for a long time. Her illness beeurie pronounced tw>. months ago. She was deeply affected and receivid a severe shock when tho death of her life long friend. Frau Eugenie Rei kow. IT; n-s of the Stolp lu--11 ninger was called to FneArii < ?f*Ttrtw» W* prescribe for a serious attack of neuralgia. Since that tint ■ she has been almost continually under the care of physicians. All the family were hastily summoned to her bedside. Count Herbert Bismarck arrive l Monday evening, and yeas pres* at yvhen his mother passi-d ayvny. Although it is feared that the effect of his wife's death upon the Prince yvill be serious, it is satisfactory to add that the great Chancellor has been in better health lately, and that he has been able to resume his daily drives. Frau Johanna von Bismarck yvas tho daughter of the Pomeranian grundbesitzer Heinrich von Putkammer, who died immediately after the Franco-Prussian ' yvar. The Putkammer family belongs ; to what is known in Prussia as the Pietist sect, whose faith and practice • closely resemble those of tho Quakers, j The Princess had a very pious disposition. idolized her husband, and yvas one of the I• st mothers in Germany. It is I known that the happiest relations always existed betyveen husband and wife, and if the Princess had been spared until next spring they would have celebrated their golden wedding.

HE ASKS FOR A GUARD KING OF COREA APPEALS TO UNCLE SAM. Lawmakers Assemble at Washington —Admirable Work of the Life-Sa-vers—Experimenting with the Dipb theria Cure. Corea’s King Is Alarmed. The correspondent of the Nexv York Worid writes follows from Seoul. Corea: “In the midst of the perils that overwhelm his kingdom and threaten his life, the King of Corea received me and made a direct appeal to the people of the | United States for help. He recognizes I our government as the first to treat with ! Corea as an independent power, and claims to have a special right to look for । some practical proofs of friendship from America at a time when war and private i conspiracy are infringing upon the autonomy of the hermit nation. The King no longer speaks of Corea as a sealed kingdom. He sees plainly that his country must surrender to civilization at last.” Back to the Grind. Both Houses of Congress were called to order at noon Monday for the regular xvlnter session. The Senate was ready ■I for business, but the House had no quo- ' rum. Interviews with a large number j of the Senators and Representatives deI vehqied that the session would probably 1 ■ । include little or nothing beyond the regular appropriation bills. Representatives . nnd Senators say thnt whi ( e nothing is in sight on the tariff or the currency on which the majority can agree, something must be done to provide work outside of the appropriation bills. The Nicaragua

Canal will receive early attention, as j ; well as the bankruptcy and anti-option j bills, besides which the free silver men ; will have a number of measures. Our Incomparable Life-Savers. Washington dispatch: The cost of main- : tenanee of the life-saving service during j the fiscal year was $1,258,221. The num- . ; her of disasters, 594, was greater and ; more destructive of vessel property than | in any previous year since the introduc- i ■ tion of the present system. This fact is ; I due to the large number and extreme vio- I lence of the tempests winch ravaged both the sea and lake coasts. Tae following i is a summary of the statistics of the ser- ' vice from tho ihtroductionof the present , system in IS7I to the close of the fiscal > year: Number of disasters 7.625 I Value of vessels $ 54.922.075 ’ Value of cargoes $ 38.039.774 Value of property involved. .$122,901,849 Value of property saved.... $ 93,155.522 Value of property lost $ 29.500.327 Number of persons involved. 61,422 Number of lives lost 724 Number of persons succored 11.221 During last year the telephone lines of the service have proved more emphatically than ever before their indispensable value as an aid to prompt and efficient life saving operations, and the lines have been extended and improved as much as possible. The system continues to attract foreign attention, and during the year the details of its operation have been examined in person by the re(>resentatives of a Royal Commission of Great Britain who treats of it in his report with warm commendation and recommends its adoption in his own country. Are ------ - — The officials of the Washington Marine Hospital service were notified that a large firm of manufacturing clfvmists at Detroit, Mich., is making [/reparations for the nianuiaeiuii' । f enti-toxin, the new ' remedy for diphtheria, which has created j such widespread interest in Europe. This i is believed to be the first house of its ! character in the United States to begin experiments, and already it has taken I active steps to scientifically demonstrate i its value. It is understood this firm has | ( established a bacteriological department. • where the experiments will be carried on i under the direction of competent scien- ' tists. A number of young horses already ; have been inoculated with the toxin, but i it is said it wiil be three or four months i betore the results of the experiments can be announced, as the processes are said i to be not only delicate but tedious. Let Montgomery’s Memory Alone< The Quebec press is loud in condemnation of the proposal to erect a monument to the memory of Gen. Montgomery in Quebec. The Chronicle says: “Lot Montgomery’s memory alone. He came here as an invader and he got just what wt hope to give every invader. WI . n Amer- ; icans come here as friends they will get the warm and honest welcome which Canada always gives to visitors and especially to Brother Jonathan.” Other journals express similar views.

ECRETARY CARlisle has acted in the matter of the allotment of the $50,000,1 000 sper cent, bonds, ' bids for which were opened at the Treasury Department. He 1 accepted the pro- | posal submitted by I the syndicate repre- ' sented by John A. Stewart, of the United States Trust Com-

pany of New York, and others to take the I entire issue at 117.077. It is the expectai tion of the treasury officials that the de- ! posit of gold for the payment of the bonds will be made promptly, and. as the understanding is that none of the gold is to be ! taken from tho treasury, an early restoraI tion of the gold reserve to above the $100,000,000 mark will be the result. The bonds, including premium, will realize the government about $58,500,000. The gold balance, which is now in round numbers. $57.5:10.t'0:/, wiil. if the expectations of the officials regarding the deposits of the gold bonds are borne out. be increased to about 8116,i i: m),i it o. Previously, however, there had been $4.550,<MM) in gold drawn from the subtreasury at New York, presumably to be used in the pay- | ment of the b nds. Assistant Secretary Curtis heard inotficially over the longi distance telephone from New York that sS,o<.>o,<»oo in gold had been deposited in ; the subtreasury there for bond payments. Tho bonds are deliverable as soon as the : gold is deposited, and as the bureau of : i engraving and printing lias been busy at f I work vreymriug for the issue they will, it । ; is expected, soon be ready for distribu-

tion. The denominations of bonds which the | syndicate will take are as follows— I Coupons: ss(l. $25.t>00; SIOO, $23,000; i SI,OOO, $34,950,000. Registered: $lO,000. $15,000,000. The condition on which the bonds are accepted is shown by the original proposi al of the syndicate, which is in the followI ing terms, minus the names of the comi panies composing the trust and the denominations wanted: “We hereby propose, under the terms of your circular of Nov. 13. 1894, to pur- ; chase United States 5 per cent, ten-year bonds described in said circular of the face value of $50,000,01>0, and we agree to pay therefor at the rate of 117.077 and ! accrued interest per SDV). This bid is for the whole sso.ot>o.(KX>, but not for any lesser amount. We further agree, upon due notice of the acceptance of this subscription, to deposit the amount thereof in gold coin or gold certificates with United States Assistant Treasurers at either Boston. New York. Philadelphia, Baltimore. Washington, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis. New Orleans, San Francisco, in accordance with the terms of said circular. “We desire (registered or coupon) bonds In denominations as stated below, and we vksh them to be delivered to us as follows: $40,000,000 at New York. $3,000,000 at Boston, $3,000,000 at Philadelphia, $2,0u0,000 at Chicago, and $2,000,000 at San Francisco, or other United States treasuries, as may be approved by the Treasury Department." The total sum that the Government will receive for the issue will aggregate about $58,500.0(4). and as the understanding is that the syndicate will not take gold out of the treasury to pay for the increase in the gold rements cbnTalT’M rn hi syndicate, treasury officials believe that between $30,000,000 and $40,000,000 of the gold will be paid in at the sub-treasury at New York, and the remainder at the i sub-treasuries in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, and San Francisco. THE SALVATIONISTS’ FARM. Where Men fro’n Lon l.»n Slums Are Reclaimed and Taught. When in 1810 Gen. Booth of the Salvation Army, published his book, “Darkest England,” he asked for contributions that a farm might be established near London where men reclaimed from the slums might have a : chance to reform and learn some useful trade. The sum of $425,C0) was ; raised and a farm called Hid eigo, of 2,860 acres, purcha-ed. Buildings and dormitories were put up and the work sucre sfully started. The men working on tho i: rm are paid by the week from 15 cents to $2.- 0 an I out of thia sum they must purchase clothes, food, lodging and a e ar.ee to work is given them. Each man must also save a certain part of his earnings, which is given him when he leaves the farm. The average number of men is 260 and there are b. sides I’lo permanent officials, who aro mem ers of the armv. The mo-t extensive industry at Hadleigh is the raising and picking of fine fru t. Fruit picking within reach of London is generally given over to the denizens of the slums, who are conveyed to the scenes of action in train loads, and usually convert the rural scene into more or loss of a slum during their labors. At the colony great care is exercised in the choice of pickers; tho mor .1 experiment, wnich forms a large half of tho scheme, will not allow of indkeriminato ass- eiation. For the same reason the colony is as i complete in itself as the governor can make it, in order to prevent the necessity for much communication with the I village. Even a tobacco license has ■ teen obtained, lor though thoroughgoing Salvationists do not approve of tobacco, they find that some oonce- sion to human weakne s is the highest wisdom. Permission to go beyond the colony has to be asked, but as the tract is several miles in length this is not so * reat a hardship as one might fancy. Games tco. are provided for the men; i foot-ball, cricket, quoits, ac ng. jumping, tug-01-war, are all encouraged. A visitor to the farm writing of the various industries there, says: A rabbit warren with 1,200 rabbits reared for the market and a thriving poultry farm interested me much. We d rov ® round hells of waving corn, wheat, barley, oats Che rich al uvial ground grow- excellent crop . We visited the rawmills, the wheel Wright's shop-’, baeksmith s shop, the brickmaking indu-try. This last i- somewhat important. employing forty men. Excellent brick clay is found on the land, and this is wiselv utilized. Nearly all the brick- used in the colony have been made at the kiln , and a large and growing market is ound f( r the bricks both in the immediate neighborhood and in London.
