ilAPAM YIELDS TO EDfiOPE
She Gives Up Her Claim: on the LiaoTung
Peninsula in China.
PORT ARTHUR ALSO ABANDONED.
This Much She Concede* to the Wishes
f Russia, Germany ami Fmrt-'
China's Emperor Signed the Treaty of
Peace?Foreign Fleets Assemble at
Che-Foe For Peace Ratifications.
Japan, in conformity with the friendly ad^ioe
of Russia, France and Germany, has undertaken
to renounce her claims to final possession
of the Fengtien or Liao-Tung territory
in China.
Hr. Sone Arasuke. the Japanese Minister
to France, informed 31. Hanotaux, Minister
ofForeigD Affairs, that Japan, in deference
to tho friendly advice of the protesting Powers,
had renounced her claim to permanent
possession of the Liao-Tung peninsula, ineluding
Port Arthur. A despatch to the Lon- I
cava that .Tnnnn nl?o intimated tO
tiormany her willingness to give up possesion
of Liao-Tung.
The London Morninc Post commends
Japan for yielding to the demands of the
three Powers, and condemns Russia, Germany
and France for acting in their own
interests and ignoring China. "Great
Britain." it says, "wa? disinterested and
equally loyal to both China and Japan."
The" London News says: "The coalition
lias made a deplorable mistake in coercinp
Japan, but it is enough for us to know that
wo did not share the mistake."
The London Times says: "Japan is to be
ongratulated upon her good sense and the
elf-control of her statesmen. We rejoice .
that she recognized the wisdom of not pushing
her pretensions too far. Russia is to be
congratulated upon the success of her
diplomacy. Events show how prudent it
was for Japan to compel China to accept
definite ternw before replying to the Powers."
The radical journals "agree that France
would act wisely in advising Japan not to
abuse her victory, but at the same time
Trance must not resort to coercion.
The Paris Debats says: "Japan will not
abandon her claims for recompense for the
urrender of the Liao-Tung peninsula. Immediately
aftor the ratifications are exnan.ntioHnna
will nnPDP/i with
VUOU^^U, UV^VhlUOtVUU ! * vv ~ ?
China. Japan will determine the nature of
much recompense, and the Towers probably
will support her in return for her yielding
ovr."
It is presumed from this that au understanding
has been reached with Russia
whereby Japan will relinquish a part of the
Chinese territory which she is permitted by
the terms of the treaty to occupy, and thus
placate Russia, who strongly opposes the
presence of the Japanese troops in any part
cf China's territory.
Official information has been received at
Washington, making it conclusive that the
Chinese Emperor signed the treaty without
Modifications. As the Japanese Emperor aflxed
his signature two weeks before, nothing
wmained necessary in order to put the document
into full effect but the formal ceremony
cf the accredited agents of each Gov?nment
handing to the other in its elaborately
decorated lacquered ease the signed
gre^ment of peace and amity and commercial
intercourse.
Russia invited France and Germany to
unite in guaranteeing the regular payment
sf the Chinese indemnity to Japan.
INCOME TAX REARSUMENT.
The Fall United State* Supreme Court
Hears the Case.
For the first time in several months all the
members of the Supreme Court were on the
bench when according to previous announcements
the income1 tax cases disposed of by
*k? mtnrt- nn fh? ?th Anril were ODened
forreargument, the arguments to be made
pon all the points of the ca3e, and not
. merely upon those special ones
for which a rehearing was asked
by counsel. The recent announcement
of Chief Justice Fuller that a
rehearing might be granted under certain
conditions was intended to mean that if Jushoe
Jaokson should be present in court when
toe case was called the entire matter would
be reopened. Justice Jackson sat in his accustomed
place at the end of the line on the
left of the Chief Justice when the court met,
and it was agreed by the lawyers interested
toat the fate of the income tax law practically
rested In his hands.
Justice Jackson was the cynosure of all
yes, and appeared tu feel keenly his peculiar
surroundings as the practical-umpire
en the constitutionality of the .law, the remainder
of the court being equally divided.
Pbeble and emaciated, he had come to Washington
from Tennessee for the express purpose
of making it possible for the court to
render a final decision on the constitutional
question involved.
The discussion of the case was limited by
the court to two counsels on each side, and
at the suggestion of Mr. Choate the time wa9
fixed at Ave hours on each side. W. D.
Guthrie opened the argument for the petitioners.
Messrs. Hyde and Pollock, who
eek to enjoin the directors of the Farmers'
I*>an and Trust and Continental Trust Cornpony
of New York from paving the tax on
the dividends declared on the stock of these
orporat ions, and in 90 doing attaok the
oaistitutionality of the law. He wa3 followed
by Assistant Attorney-General E. B.
Whitney in support of the law.
The National Game.
Washington has a prize in Pitcher Mercer.
Meekin is outshining Rusie as New York's
f&ar pitcher.
Slow curve pitchers are most effective
against Cleveland.
The fielding of the League teams as a whole
las so far been inferior.
The Louisville Club will pay the $500 fine
imposed on PfefTer by the League.
Catcher Ryan, of Boston, is said to be
throwing like a ca apult this season.
Burkett. of Cleveland, is batting fiercely
and leading the League in home runs.
Lively legitimate coaching is the life of
the game?without it the sport will languish.
Manager Davis, ot New York, thinks he
kas secured a wonder in the tall college
pitcher, Boswell.
Old 'Longest - hit - ever - made - on the -
tiro Unas nas l?seu ills ".unc uuu v/u
his annual round?.
Umpire Betts expresses the opinion that
Lawley, of Pittsburg, will Jead the League
pitchers this season.
Clingman has settled down as the Pittsfeorgs'
regular third baseman. Niles will be
retained as utility man.
McPhee. Cincinnati's second baseman, has
dually dropped a fly ball already. I: is
larwly he does such a thing in a whole sea?Ki.
TbeBaltimore$ are experimenting on caps
with transparent visors, which will allow
tbem to look at the sun without affecting
il?e eyes.
The triple play of the Bostons was the first
jnade this season, the first ever made on the
"Washington grounds and was, therefore, a
?cord-breaker.
Pitcher Wilson, of the Bostons, was origl ally
a catcher, who simply went in to pitch
one dav to help out his team, and did so well
that he" made a specialty of pitching ever
KBCe.
For making the first home run hit^f the
isampionship seasoa tor uincinnuu imug
ftceived a suit of clothes and a new hat.
The silent coaching was not a success at
Boston, and the Boston opinion now is that
ibe new coaching rules must be changed, or
else the club must furnish a brass band to
stir up the animals.
3t is sai^that the old campaigner, Anson.
eJ Chicago, has stored in the basement of
Us home no less than 276 bats, each with its
?ory. They have all been wielded by Anson
Samself in his many hard-fought struggles.
Umpire Betts says he fails to see why the
castom of umpiring a game from behind the
jitcher ever came into use, as it is impossible
to judge doubtful foul or fair balls from
position, and but little advantage is
gained in judging the plays on the bases.

Scenes of Suffering: and Ruin In the
Storm's Track.
SCHOOL HOUSES DESTROYED.
Vouthfnl Lives Crashed Out by the Cyclone
That Devastated Sioux County,
Iowa?Thrilling Story of Survivors--Tlie
Country Strewn With the Bodies
of Domestic Animals.
Probably a hundred persons were killed
h? o m-ninnn that nassed throueh Sioux
K'J U V.JVIVUV "u"" X w
County, Iowa, frotn southwest to northeast
nn hour before sunset. Half a score of prosperous
little hamlets were touched by
the flying storm and hundreds of
farms were laid waste. The territory
devastated is as rich and populous as any in
Towa, but the storm mainly kept clear of
the railroad tracks and telegraph lines. A
pitiful feature of the disaster was the numoer
of youthful lives crushed out by
the cruel wind. Four school houses
near Sioux Centre were destroyed
while school was in progress, and at ea^h
one from three to ten children were killed
or injured. Many of the children were carried
from a quarter to half a mile before they
were dropped. Two little daughters of John
Koster. a farmer, near Sioux Centre, were
picked up as they were leaving, the school
house and dashed into a wire fence and both
killed.
Two sons of C. H. Haggle, at the same
jchool house, had their less broken and received
other fatal injuries. Mr. Haggle's
house is near the school and, although he
?s<*aped. his daughter was fatally injured.
The towns of Sioux Centre, Ireton, Orange
City. Perkins. Doon, Hull. Sheldon, Alton,
Ashton, Sibley and Lemars were almost entirely
in the path of the cyclone. Fatalities
were reported from Sioux Centre, Ireton,
Orange City and Perkins.
The cyclone was followed by a furious wind
And rain storm. Telegraph line? and railroad
tracks were disabled. The fatalities in
the various towns are estimated as follows:
Sioux Centre, fifty dead: Perkins, forty dead;
Doon, ten dead; Sibley, five dead.
No intelligent estimate of the damage in
flicted can be made, but it will reacn tnto
the millioa1*. A curious feature of the cyclone
was the accompaniment of electric violence.
Many deaths by lightning were reported. Numerous
victims were found lodged in the trees,
where thev had been hurled by the storm
ind fatally injured. Two grown boys, who
aad come from a field near Alton at the approach
of the storm, were injured while in
:he barnyard, one fatally.
Wires were completely stripped from the
poles, and in some places the posts were all
taken from the ground. Horses, cattle and
rehicles were hurled through the air like
ihaff, and the coirtitry for three-quarters of
i mile wide and many miles hi length is entirely
wrecked. Where fine residences had
stood could be found nothing but a cellar
aole and in some cases a few twisted timbers.
At Sioux Centre all the business houses
were closed between 2 and 5 o'clock p. m.,
aext day. and five funerals took place during
that time.
Mayor Robie, of Sioux Centre, telegraphed
to Sioux City for assistance, asserting that
money, food and household supplies are
jrgently needed. is estimated that $12,000
will be required to properly care for the sufferers.
Fully one thousand families in the
aeighoorhood of Sioux Centre are destitute
and homeless. A mass meeting was called
bv the Mavor and nearly 85000 in cash was
raised. A* quantity of food anil supplies
were donated.
The destruction of the school house where
George Marsden was teaching furnishes a
pathetic story. Nor a vestige of the building
remained. Mr. Marsden was found some
iistance away, in a field. Two of his
scholars wore close beside him. Two
little daughters of John Koster. pupils
in the same school were found
jlinging to each other, covered with mud,
tangled in a wire fence. The residence of
Mr. Haggle, close to the school house, was
swept away like a straw, and his eldest
laughter, who was indoors when the storm
struck it, was fouDd in the branches of a tree
nearby badly injured. A.U his other children
K-ere killed.
In the valley of death from Ireton to Sioux
Centre, which nearly parallels the railroad
track, there was left nothing but debris.
Dead horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, articles
of wearing apparel, portions of
houses and barns, pieces of wagons
and farming implements, and
jverything movable was scattered along the
route. Around Sioux Centre forty farmers
ire homeless and ruined.
In the district around about the Haggle
And Koster homesteads forty families are
homeless and ruined. The same number is
reported from Sioux Centre, and between
Perkins and Ashton twenty-five families have
nothing left.
Altogether 300 families are homeless as the
resuli of the five minutes' destructive work
sf the evelone. The average of the loss to
aach family is about $7000. It is thus seen
that the financial loss is very large and cannot
easily be repaired.
In many cases it will never be repaired by
the present owners of the land, as several of
'hem have already left the country. The injured
aggregate 100 people.
EVACUATION OF CORINTO,
The British Withdraw Their Fleet and
Nicaragua Will Pay.
The evacuation of Corinto by the British
marines and fleet was quietly accomplished,
and the port was restored to Nicaraguan
i authority. Shortly after midnight Minister
Guzman" received a cable message saying
that the preliminaries had been satis1
factorily arranged with the British Admiral
through the intermediation of Senor
i Fiallos of Honduras. In this manner Nicaragua
was spared any appearance of humil'
iation and friction was avoided. Nicaragua
f will pay the indemnity in London within the
1 two weeks stipulated, and the remaining
" terms of the ultimatum will be satisfactorily
# arranged.

ELECTION LAWS INVALID.
Judge GofT Declares Sonth Carolina's Beg
istratton Acts Unconstitutional.
Tho State of South Carolina received tw
severe blows in the United States Circui
Court at Columbia. Tho more importan
and far reaching case was that regatding th
registration laws of tho State.
Ever since it was decided to hold a Constitutional
Convention, of which the avowei
purpose was to insure white supremacy th
colored voters have been much worked up
Church collections were made for a fun<
with which to contest the calling of the con
vention and the validity of the. olectioi
laws. Colored preachers were hard at work
and the efforts of the colored people in
dorsed by the Republican leaders, nave nop
been rewarded in the preliminary lega
fight, in which the registration laws are hel<
to be unconstitutional by Judge Goff.
He holds* in a long opinion, that it was thi
intention of the Legislature In passing th(
registration law, "How best to abridge an<
destroy the greatest number of votes of th
citizens of African dcscent, while (it the sam
timo interfering with as few as possible of th
voters of the white race."
Tho decision of the court is that th
registration law is harassing, unnecessary
rigid, discriminating and outrageous in cer
tain provisions, and is null and void. Thi
leaves the Stifto without any election laws
or with the same conditions as existed prio
to 18S2, when tho law was enacted.
The decUion of Judge Simonton In thi
dispensary law, while it will, if sustained
be a severe blow to the system, will not nec
essarily kill the law. It Kill simply estab
lish the right of tho citiz? to bring llquo
into the State for his own consumption anc
not for wile.
The State authorities announced that th
dispensary system was there to stay, ant
that they did not believe the Supremo Cour
would sustain the opinion of Judge Simon

States, Dr. Guzman, is deeply gratified at
the satisfactory termination of the serious
dispute between his country and Greftt
Britain. Dr. Guzman says there is no doubt that
the Zelaya Administration will pay the
t Indemnity in London within fifteen days if )
t the British ships be immediately withdrawn.
A review of the successive steps which led
to this resftlt will show that Dr. Guzman
telegraphed the Nicaraguan Government
that it would be better to pay the idemnity
and thus rid itself of the presence of the
f British war vessels, which were a source of
|| great irritation to the people. He received a
? reply saying that Nicaragua would pay the
Indemnity in London in fifteen days if the
1 British vessels were removed. Dr. Guzman
i oommunicated these facts to Seoretary Gresham,
who cabled them to Ambassador Bayard,
' coupled with a request that they be brought
] to the attention of Lord Kimberley. The
J other portions of the Secretary's despatch
were not made public, but he is
5 believed to have asked Mr. Bayard
9 tQ present the case so strongly
i as to secure Lord Kimberley's acquiescence.
8 Lord Kimberley notified Mr. Bayard that Ni0
caragua's proposition would be accepted and
0 thus terminated a difficulty which, had it
been prolonged, might have led to serious
e results.

SCHOOL- DIRECTORS KILLED.
rhree of Them Shot Down by One ManWoman's
Gossip Said to Have Caused It.
Three school directors were killed in the n
!omo (Col.) District a few days ago. The
layer and only survivor of the duel, "Ben" 8
tadclifTe, was taken to Fair Play after surendering,
but declined to make any state- \
nent.
It is said that Mrs. Joseph Crockett wrote
i letter to RadcllfTe informing him that Samlel
Taylor had made the statement that Raisliffe's
daughter should not be allowed to go ^
o school with decent children. This was ac:ompanied
by a broad insinuation.
RadclifTe armed himself with a revolver
md a Winchester rifle aud repaired to the
jlace where the school election was in process.
What occurred is not known, for of t
four men who took part Radcllffe is the only
survivor.
It is supposed that he accused Taylor of f
vriting the letter and in the argument that
ollowed George D. Wyatt and L. F. McI!urdy,
the other parties killed, took part I
tgainst him. Wyatt's statement after he
:rawled to the door is rather incoherent and
annot throw any light upon the quarrel. 1
RadclifTe has the reputation of always going
irmed, and during the past year he has had ?
leveral quarrels with the School Board and
he Superintendent. Wyatt survived four
lours, but at no time was he able to give an j
iccount of the occurrence.

the Case Agalnnt Him.
Judge Brown, in the United States District
Court. New York City, denied the application
for a writ of removal to California, in

of the Southern Pacific Bailroad.
Mr. Huntington was arrested on a charge
of violating the Interstate Commerce law
by issuing a pass on the Southern Pacific
Boad.
In his decision Judge Brown said: "The
application for removal must be denied on
the ground that the indictment is fatally defective
in not averring that any use was over
made of the pass, or that any transportation
was ever furnished under it."
Mr. Huntington was indicted by the Grand
Jury of the Northern District of California
for a violation of the Interstate Commerce
law by having issued a free pass to Frank

Oar First Treatr With England*
Of interest to-day is our first treaty
vith England, says the Behoboth Sun- ' v
lay Herald. The first thing was to
jet from the King of England & statement
that he and his Ministers were
villing formally to acknowledge Ameri- .
:an independence.
When this was done three American ?
Ministers went to Paris in order to be
lpon neutral territory, and there they
net one David Hartley, who had been
aamed by the King to represent Great
Britain. Each spent some time examining
the other's credentials to see
that they were treating with the right
3arties.| ?
When fully satisfied upon this im? |
portant matter, they took a few sheets
if common and rather coarse white
paper, nine by fifteen inohes in size,
rod folded once, and at the top of the
first page wrote in coarse and crude j
[land: "In the namo of the most holy
?nd undivided Trinity."
Writing in unbroken linen across
the entire page, on both sides of the
paper, and frequently referring each
to the other as "High mightiness,"
these commissioners filled nearly four
sheets of the paper, and at the end
they signed their names. David Hartley
signed first, and he placed his
name away np in the left hand corner,
just under the last line of the text,
where it appears almost crowded off
the paper by the names of the American
signers, John Adams, Benjamin
Franklin and John Jay.
They tied the sheets together with
some very narrow and veiy cheap blue
ribbon, the ends of which they fastened
to the paper with patohes of red
sealing wax. This wax they needlessly
burned in plaoing it jnst at the
left of their signatures.
This is the definite treaty of Versailles,
now yellow and faded. By it
Great Britain formally renounced all
claim to the thirteen original States*
These four'sheets of cheap paper, with
their "High mightiness," their "Most
potents," and their faded blue ribbon,
constitute the official close of the
Revolutionary War.

Savage Birds. ,
A young naturalist who is a close
observer of birds tells this little
story:
"One morning last sunmer while
walking through one of the parks I
was attracted by a tremendous chattering
from a clump of bushes near * ' >
the pathway. It sounded as if a hundred
birds were having a fight over
their breakfast?for sparrows think
that a fat worm or a juicy bug is worth
making a great fuss about. 1 walked
quickly and stealthily up to the bushes
and peeped in. It was not a worm
which caused .the commotion,, but
something bigger. A large flock of
English sparrows were flying about,
screaming as if they had gone mad
and pecking savagely at intervals at
some small animal which was running
about on the ground. It was a poor
little red chipmunk who had escited
their wrath. He was running baok
and forth, evidently trying to get
away from his tormentors. It was of
no use, for he was closely surrounded
by them, and he evidently was getting
weak in the unequal struggle. So I
drove away the sparrows and tried to
rescue the miserable little squirrel.
When the birds flew away the chipmunk
still lay upon the ground, and
seemed unable to move. 1 picked hi a
up in my hands. He was in a pitiable
condition. The sparrows had pulled g
nearly every hair out ot His tan. una
of his eyes was entirely pecked out,
and he was covered with pecks and
wounds where the pugnacious little
sparrows had pecked and beateu him.
Poor little chippy! He was nearly
dead and evidently in such suffering
that he had to be put ot his misery.
We had Mr. Chipmunk stuffed ftnd
put him on the mantel shelf for an ornament.
He looks much more happy
there than he did the day the quarrelsome
little sparrows pecked his life
iway. But what it was that excited
their wrath Mr. Chipmunk never
told."?New York Recorder.
Chinese Opinion ol Europeans.
Edward Walker, a former missioniry
and hospital director at Soo Chow,
showed me the other day a copy of
the pamphlet that was circulated
some twelve years ago in Hong Kong
against the Christian mission work.
It affirms that Europeans do not belong
to the human race, but are descended
from monkeys; this raoe of
wild beings worship neither the heavens
nor the earth; they do not ^honor ^
their parents, nor have respect for
their forefathers; they come into
China under the pretense of preaching
a religion, but really come to take the
eyes and brains of dying people and
the blood of children; with these they
make medical puis wmcn tnev sen iq
