CHINA'S BABRIEKS DOWN. Other Countries Profit by the Terms of Peace Exacted by Japan. TREATY SIGNED BY ALL ENVOYS, j Anyt>o<l.v -Hay introduce into imna ractorics or Machinery and May Lease Warehouse* in tl?o Interior?Intimation That Kuropean Powers Will At^ tcuipt to Revise the Concessions. Tho treaty of pc.ioo between Japan and ficj^V China was signed at Shimonoseki by tho jE2f Peace Commissioners of both countries. The provisions of this treaty of most consoquence to outside countries are these: China agrees to no longer impose upon J foreigners the odious tax known as likin, lavied upon goods and sales. A uniform standard tael is to be adopted by China for her currency. Much confusion ~?.1 J_ Wamo ?.SA JU5 Uftu.?cu iu luvxicj uat^uiauvua, ucvausc there are the Haikwan or customs tael (usually meant when Government computations are made), worth about seventy-five eentsjth? Tientsin tael, worth about seventythree cents, and the Shanghai tael, worth About sixty-nine cents. All foreigners are to be permitted to introduce into China factories and machinery, and to lease warehouses in the interior. Japan takes Formosa, the Pescadores Islands and Manchuria from Yingkow, on the Leao River, to Anping, on the Yalu, including the Leatong peninsula. No other part of China is to bo occupied by Japan, even as a temporary guarantee that China shall abido by the provisions of the peace treaty, except possibly Weihai-wei. The indemnity which China is to pay to Tnnon ia flvnH nt 900 000 000 ill fiilvP* (equivalent to about 8150,000,000 in American gold). The important commercial concessions made by China are to be shared by all Nations. The autonomy of Korea is recognized. No pressure from Western Towers was brought to bear upon Japan during the peace negotiations. A dispatch from Shimonoseki says that Li Hung Chang, China's peace envoy, has started for home, having conceded all of Japan's demands. A despatch from Tientsin, China, says an imperial proclamation ha? been issued authorizing Li Hung Chang to sign a treaty of peace with Japan guaranteeing the payment of 200,000,000 taels indemnity. By tne proclamation Li Hung Chang is impowored to code to the Jaoanese the island of For mosa find the peninsula of Liao Tung to the fortieth deprree of latitude, to sanction the opening of five new commercial ports, including Pekin, and to give Japan the power to lopen cotton factories and other industries in ChinrfT Germany objects to the conditions of peace only so far as they encroach upon German commercial interests, and regards the whole question as one to jbe settled between China land Japan as long as European interests are Jnot affected. The French and Russian Governments are about to convoke a meeting of the Powers 'for the purpose of revising the terms of peace agreed upon by the Chinese and Japanese representatives. The Pall Mall Gazette, a leading British paper, commenting on the terms of peace beitween China and Japan, as defined by the imJperial edict just issued in Pekin, say3 the cession of Formosa will surely displease 'England, while the cession of Port Arthur will be objected to by Russia. "Our Gov' eminent." the Gazette savs." mav safely be depended upon to do nothing, however, unless the other Powore take action," The St. James's Gazette says: "If Japan declines to be frightened Russia may come to the conclusion that she would better not try force. Meanwhile England is benevolent and has no feeling of anger toward Japan. The opening of factories in China by Japan does not mean that she will have a monopoly of such industries, as England could also open a factory if she chose." The Russian journals are more vigorous in their utterances than the English papers, and ?ound the warning that the signing of suoh a treaty of peace will be only a prelude to a : wider though unnecessary armed conflict. Japan will place in England at once orders for several warships, to be built on the lines suggested by her experience in the war. 1 A despatch from Tokio, Japan, says that peace ratifications will be oxenanged within three weeks, and that the armistice has beeD V extended to midnight on May 8.

MANY SCENES OF TERROR. Thirty-one Shocks Felt In Seven Hours? People Camping: in the Fields?Trains Rocking Like a Ship at Sea?Death and Damage in Many Towns?Shipping Crowded With Fugitives. Severe earthquake shocks visited Southern Austria and the North of Italy, involving in the former country the loss of many lives and much damage to property. Violent shocks of earthquake were experienced throughout Southern Austria, the manifestations beginning at midnight. At Laibach, thirty-one shocks were felt between midnight and 7.30 o'clock a. m. All of the churches, public buildings, business houses, and residences in the town were dam aged. Several persons were killed by falling walls, etc., and a large number were more or less seriously injured. At Velden ten shocks were felt and at Trieste four. Shocks were also felt at Abbazzia, Arco, Gorizia,Cilli,and other places, in all of which many buildings were damaged. The direction of the disturb? ? or\ty fKonal* fn north WAflt ttUUOa W(M liuui ovuiuviuk vv/ .t ^., 81ight seismic vibrations were also felt in Vienna. Communication between Trieste and Laibach is suspended. In many of the districts between the two towns, as well as in the sections visited by the shocks, the people are camping out in the fields. Persons arriving at the Vienna railroad stations report deaths and damage to property in many towns besides those already mentioned. They say that along the railroad lines they saw thousands camping in the fields. The trains wore rocked by the Bhocks. Some say that the rolling motion was as noticeable as on a ship at sea. All reports indicate that the shocks followed the lines from Florence to Botzen, Florence to Vienna, and Serajeno in Bosnia to 8tein-amAngar in Hungary. Persons from Laibach gave vivid descriptions of the scenes of terror during the earthquakes. The first shock, shortly after midnight was so severe that the whole popula tlon was aroused, nnd hundreds ran" half clothed into the streets. By 3 o'clock the streets were blocked with carts and carriages In which the sick and aged andthechildren were being conveyed to places of safety. Terrified groups knelt, on the corners and before churches, praying for deliverance and begging the priests to pray for them. The barracks, thp museum, the distillery, and half a dozen other large buildings were laid in ruins. Scores of other buildings were cracked and half shaken from their foundations. At Fiume the audience in the Players' Theatre had just risen to leave the building when the first shock came. All crowded madly into the exits. Many persons were injured in the struggle. All night boats filled with fugitives put out from the Fiume wharves to the shipping. During the panic in Trieste a .frightened horse ran down a crowded street, injuring twenty persons seriously and knocking down fifty or sixty. The harbor was agitated as if by a storm, and several boats carrying persons to the shipping were capsized. Six persons were drowned. Sovere shocks of earthquake were experienced at Venice and Verona, in Italy. Many buildings wore damaged and several persons injured. At the first shock in Venice the guests fled from the hotels to the public squares, and the inhabitants deserted their houses and took refuge in the available open spaces. Violent shocks were also experienced at Bologna, Ferrara, and Treviso, in each of ?' ' ' ' trroa /Iaho fn I WH1CU tOWIlil gruttt uaui^u niw uuuv w , buildings. Many were hurt in the panic, but no one was killed. Shocks have been generally felt throughout the North of Italy. Several districts of Sicily have been shaken severely by earthquake. The shocks were most violent in the province of Syracuse. In Monterosso Almo the facade of a church and several houses were laid in ruins, and many other buildings were damaged. CLEVELAND'S MONEY VIEWS. The Fresldent Seta Forth His Idea* on National Finance. In response to the invitation of business men of Chicago, Democrats and Republicans, to attend a public reception there, a letter was received from President Cleveland declining the invitation and setting forth at length his views on the financial question. In thejoourse of his letter the President says: "If the sound money sentiment abroad in the land is to save us from mischief and disaster, it must be crystallized and combined and made immediately active. It is dangerous to overlook the fact that a vast number of our people, with scant opportunity thus * 1 niiAu<-Un In o II ifa acnnefa iarto examine iut- ijurauuu m u?4 have nevertheless been ingeniously pressed with special suggestions, which in this time of misfortune and depression find willing listeners prepared to give credence to any scheme which is plausibly presented as a remedy for their unfortunate condition. What is now more needed than anything else is a plain and simple presentation of the argument in favor of sound money. In other words, it is time for the American people to reason together as members of a great Nation, which can promise them a continuance of protection and safety only so long as its solvency is unsuspected, its honor unsullied, and the soundness of its money unquestioned." In concluding his letter the President writes: ''If reckless discontent and wild experiment should swee p currency from its safe support, the most defenseless of all who suffer in that time of distress and National discredit will be the people, as they reckon the loss in their scanty support, and the laborer and workingman. as he sees the money he v.oa nvuivaH for hiq toil shrink and shrivel in his hand when he tenders it for the neces- I saries to supply his humble home. ! "Disguise it as we may, the line of battle I is drawn between the forces of safe currency and those of silver monometallism. I will ! not believe that if our people are afforded an intelligent opportunity for sober second thought, they will sanction schemes that, however cloaked, mean disaster and confusion, nor that they will consent, by undermining the foundation of a safe currency, to endanger the beneileent character and purposes of their Government." TREATY OF PEACE SICNED. I Terms on Which Japan Agrees to Suspend Hostilities. The London Times correspondent in Shanghai, China, says: "Li Hung Chang's son-in-law telegraphs that the treaty of peace was signed in Shimonoseki, and that the terms ar": "First, the independence of Korea; second, Japan's retention of tho conquered places; third. Japan's retention of the territory east of the Liao River; fourth, permanent cession of Formosa; fifth, indemnity of $100,000,000; sixth, an offensive and defensive alliance between China and Japan." China's reported delay in agreeing to the conditions of peace seemed inexplicable in view of the fact that at th" request of the Chinese envoy the Japanese Government materially modified some of its propositions. That they, as well a* the conditions as a < ^T! Utitiir wnom, worw suiisiaou/i j is not doubted, while it is equally tru-* from official reports that Li Hung Chang secured better terms than would have been giwn to him but for the ass;iu!t male by til" assassin Koyania.

Annoancement from Germany of a I) covery by a New York Fhyslclan. From Germany comes the flrat official ne of an American discovery said to cure most dreaded of diseases, consumption s cancer. Consul-General De Kay, at Berlin, i report to the 8tate Department at Washingt says the discovery, which was announi late In March In a trustworthy medl weekly In Germany, is likely to receive c< siderable attention at the coming medl congress in Munich.

United States Secret Service operatives Chicago and Washington have uneartl probably the most unique and at the sa time important swindle ever perpetrated on any Government. It is believed thousands of dollars h; been secured by a gang of skilled count feiters, who have reproduced with wonc ful skill and accuracy the pink two-c tamp of commerce. "Whether the counterfeiters have accc plices in dishonest postmasters is not knoi It is thought the country is flooded from N York to San Francisco with these spuri< stamps, and the United States has been e Hnff millions of letters from which not < cent of revenue was received. Chicago apparently has been the he quarters of the prang, and its product ] been shipped to distributing agents throi the express companies. Captain Stuart, of the Postal Inspect* Department, and Captain Porter, of the U ted States Secret Service Bureau, called the Wells. Fargo office, Chicago. They w taken to the store room, and there found oblong package looking like a big roll music. It contained 10,000of the counter stamps. BOTH EYES POP OUT.

The ruling of Desha Breckinridge, Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue, especially detailed to collect income tax for the Lexington (Ky.) district, to the effect that bettors must pay tax on all money won over 34000, and that no deduction would be made for losses, has been sustained by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue in this deol9lon: "Gains from the pool box, etc., should be included for the year in which received, and no deduction" can be allowed for money lost at gaming.
