AN INDEMNITY OF $100,000,000. Corea i« to be Free While Japan Will Retain all the Conquered Places and Have Possession of Formosa—An Offensive and Delensive Alliance lie tween the Two Countries—Li Hung Chang’s Attempted Assassination Se cured Favorable Terms for China. Washington, April 15.—Neither the Chinese uor the Japanese legation has received from Shimonoskei any confirma tion of Japan's alleged twenty-four hours ultimatum, nor has any further news bearing upon the peace negotia tions come to hand. War news received byway of Shanghai has proved almost uniformly untrust worthy. It is not believed that a satis factory conclusion will be reached be fore the 20th inst , when the armistice expires. China's reported delay in agreeing to the conditions of peace seems the more inexplicable in view of the fact that at the request of the Chinese envoy the Japanese government materially modi fied some of its propositions. Just what these modifications are is still a secret. That they as well as the conditions as a whole, were satisfactory to Li Hung Chang is not doubted; while it is equally true from official reports that Li Hung Chang secured better terms than would have been given to him but for the assault made by the assassin. The best explanation of the delay is that the Pekin foreign office s delaying its approval of the terms of peace agreed upon by Li Hung Chang until the last moment in the hope that something may occur in the interim to China's advant age. Peace Expected Yesterday. London, April 15 —A Central News dispatch from Tokio says that Prince Komatsu, commander iu-chief of the Japanese army and navy, with a number of transports, escorted by three war ships, passed Shimonoseki yesterday on his way to the seat of war. The Japan ese Ministers at Shimonoseki signalled their farewells and goof wishes to the Prince as the vessel passed. Li Hung Chang is in constant commu nication by telegraph with Pekin. The conference is sitting at Shimonoseki to day, and it is thought that to day's ses sion will result in the conclusion of peace. Too Absurd for Denial. Washington, April 15.—N0 credence is placed in the report that reaches here from Shanghai that the Chinese Emperor has issued a proclamation describing the Empire as finished and asserting his ina bility longer to govern it. In well informed circles the report is ridiculed as being too absurd to dignify with a denial. It is asserted in the first place that the Chinese Emperor could have no purpose in abdicating, and in the second place his mother, the Dowa ger Empress, would not permit him to retire if he desired. The proclamation is believed here to be the work of the secret societies in the Empire. These societies, it is said, are hostile to the government, their aims and purposes being not dissimilar to those of the Nihilists in Russia. If the pro clamation be their work it was probably written for the purpose of adding to the confusion in the Empire and to the em barrassment of the reigning powers. The whole story, however, is regarded as another Shanghai fabrication. The Treaty Signed. London, April 15—The Times cor respondent in Shanghai says: “Li Hung Chang’s son-in-law telegraphs that the treaty of peace was signed in Shimon o.-eki t>d;y, April 15, and that the terms are: First,the independence of Corea; sec ond, Japan’s retention of the conquered places; third, Japan’s retention of terri tory east of the Liao river; fourth, per manent cession of Formosa; fifth, in demnity of 100,000 000 dollars; sixth, an offensive and defensive alliance be tween China and Japan. UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. Alumni Banquet in Celebration ol it* Organization. Washington, April 15. -The alumni of the University of Virginia gave a banquet at Page’s Hotel here this even ing in ceebration of the anniversary of the organization of this ancient seat of learning. The history of the educational scheme of Mr. Jefferson, which culminated in the establishment of the Uni versity of Virginia, is interesting. Af ter a failure of an endeavor of Chev alier Quesney de Baurepaire, a French man who served in the Continental army, to establish an academy of arts and sciences in Richmond, with branches in Philadelphia, New York and Baltimore, Mr. Jefferson who had taken an active interest in the enterprise, attempted to reorganize William and Mary College, his alma mater, but the bill of reorga nization failed in the Virginia Legisla ture. He then attempted to bring to this country the faculty of the College of Geneva, who had become dissatisfied with their political surroundings, but Gen. Wash ington discouraged the scheme. Jeffer son's next plan was for a College in Albemarle county. A charter was granted under the name of the Central College and later on Jefferson succeeded in getting the legislature to give it a charter as a University, and the Univer sity of Virginia was accordingly opened to students in 1825, the year before Mr. Jefferson’s death. During the war the University lan guished but when peace came it resumed i‘s former standing. Among its alumni areSecretaryllerbert,Postmaster General Wilson, Assistant Secretary Dabney, of the Agricultural Department; Solicitor General Holmes Conrad, and Justice Jackson, of the United States Supreme Court. Officers for the coming year were as follows : Secretary of the Navy, H F. Herbert, president; Prof. W. B. Cabell, E. J. Rink and Postmaster Gen eral W. I». Wilson, vice-presidents; Thomas Nelson Page, Dr. Theo. Clark, C. G. Lee and R. L. Preston executive committee. Among the toasts responded to were : Thomas Jefferson, by Hon. John Goode, of Virginia, and the University and its Work, by Prof. Thornton. Thomas Nelson Page urged the erec tion of a memorial hall to the memory of the alumni who fell in the late war. THE GAME WAS A GOOD ONE. Ilut Lehigh Was Outclassed, and the University an Easy Winner. Special to the News and Observer. Greensboro, N. C., April 15. Those who went to see good ball this afternoon in the game between the Uni versity of North Carolina and Lehigh were not disappoited. The game was interesting and snappy from beginning to finish, and there was no kicking to mar the pleasure. North Carolina came first to the bat, and from the way they batted, Pitcher Bowie made it Jlook as if the score would be fearful. Oldham made a two bagger, and was sent to the third by Stevens, but failed to reach home. Stevens, however, had better luck, and was sent home by a two-bagger by Collier, who was killed at third. Lehigh came to the bat, but f tiled to find Collier's puzzlers, and so went out in one, two, three order. The University was ‘-goose egged” in the second. Lehigh had better luck in the second, and managed to place two marks to their credit. The game was noted for the brilliant pitching of Collier, and by special fine plays of both teams. The visitors were out-played in every particular. The score is as follows: University, - -- 10040001 o—6 Lehigh, 02000100 0-3 Errors even; struck out by Collier 14; by Bowie 6.

New Yorl, April 15.— Cotton ad vanced 22 to 24 pilots and closed strong with sales of 242,200 bales. The Liver pool exchange will not be open until Wednesday. New Orleans advanced 20 to 21 points. Spot cotton here was steady at an advat.ee of 1 4c. The Southern spot markets were gener ally firm and higher. New Orleans, Srvannah, Norfolk, Augusta and St. Louis advanced l-80. and Mobile and Baltimore 1 4c. The port receipts to-day were 20,635. Thus far this week they are 29,006, against 28,626, thus far last week. The exports from the ports were 2,260 to the continent. New Orleans receipts to-morrow estimated 3,500 against 15,503 last week and 3,143 last year. To-Day’s Features. The news was all bullish and the bears were all running. The South was on a high horse, and in fact most of the news received was of the kind to stimulate the bull and depress the bears. The re ceipts were large, but they are said to be partly made up of cotton raised in former years. At any rate they have no influence. Big sales on the spot here had not a little to do with the heavy advance. The Soul h and Europe, as well as local opera tors, bought heavily and the tone at the close was confident.* OIL REGION EXCITED. The Exchange Crowded and Men Re«k le.»sly Speculating. Pittsburg, Pa., April 15 —The oil ex citement continues with unabated in tensity. Crowds of people congregated at the local exchange to-day anxious to see what the market would open at Years ago the former exchange build ing was well equipped for the public as well as the speculators. This building, however, on account of the utter inac tivity of the oil market was sold. Now the business is transacted in two rooms across the street. New quarters were entirely inadequate to accommodate the throng" interested in oil this morning. Many old time brokers, producers and speculators crowded the new quarters, which were tilled up long before the market opened. When it was anuouuced that the Stan dard had set aprrie of $1.75 per barrel as the price they would pay for Pennsyl vania oil at their purchasing agencies speculators could not keep quiet until the excl an 'e markets opened. At the tap of the gong at 10 o’clock $1.75 was bid There were no sellers, and not until $1.95 was reached could anybody be persuaded to part with cer tificates of the greasy fluid. At $195 a lot of 19,000 barrels that had been prob ably purchased at a much lower figure, was sold. This was the only sale re corded on the Pittfburg Exchange. RALEIGH. N. C.. TUESDAY. APRIL 16. 1895. THE INCOME TAX AGAIN A RICH CHICAGO FIRM EN JOINED FROM MAKING ANY RETURN. THE LAW ATTACKED IN THE BILL. All the Questions Raised in the Peti tion that are Involved in the Income Tax Dispute, Inelnding those Already Decided by the Supreme Court—The Government Will Be Compelled to Take Part in Proceedings to De fend the Operation of the Law. Chicago, April 15. —Judge Showalter, in the United States Court this morning, enjoined Siegel Cooper and Company from making any return to the internal revenue collector under the provisions of the income tax law. The restraining order was granted on a bill filed by Gerson Siegel, one of the New York stockholders in the defendant corporation. The bill attacks the law, and under the order granted this morn ing the government will be compelled to take part in the proceedings to defend the operation of the new law. When the attorney for Mr. Siegel pre sented the bill to Judge Showalter, the latter asked for an explanation of the application. “This is the last day for the return of the income tax to the col lector of internal revenue,” said the at torney. “My client protests against his firm making any payment of the tax nr any report. He maintains that the hill in its entirety is unconstutional. All we ask is for an order restraining the firm of Siegel. Cooper and Company from making its return to-day. If not grant ed the firm will be liable to an imposi tion of SI,OOO fine for failing to make the return.” Judge Showalter took the application and after reading it made the restrain ing order. A bond of SI,OOO will be filed to day. By the issuance of the order of the court the firm escapes the payment of the flue, should the Supreme court, to which the question will be carried, decide against the compMnaM Mr. Siegel in his bill, raises all of the questions that are involved in the income tax dispute, iaclu ring those decided by the Supreme court last w’eek. His grounds for the unconstitutionally of the act are set forth in the following order: “The provisions of the income tax are unconstitutional, null and void, aud if collectable upon the defendant’s in come or profits it is a direct tax, in respect to real estate, and in respect to his personal property, by levying impost upon the profits and income thereof, which direct taxes are not in and by said act apportioned among the several States, as required by the Constitution of the United States. If not a direct tax, the tax is not uniform as required by the constitution. The profits of many corporations amount to less than $4,000 and said tax is imposed on such corpora tions, a’though individuals carrying on and transacting similar business under iike conditions, and having like property, values and quantities and incomes, are exempted by the act from the power of said tax, “The tax is not uniform because your orator has an annual income, and, as be is informed, numerous holders of stock in corporations likewise, have annual incomes of less than $4,000, and the effect of such payment will be to lessen aud diminish the dividends of such stock holders and compel them to bear and pay the tax, althongh other parties of the same class, similarly situated, whose income is less than the $4,000, are ex empted. “It is r ot uniform in that it is imposed upon 1 per cent, of the population of the United States, and the other 99 per cent, are exempted, although they hold among themselves the greater part of all prop erty, real aud personal, in the United States. “It is net uniform in that a tax of 2 per cent, is imposed on all income acquired by gift or inheritance, while no similar tax is imposed on real estate ac quired under similar conditions. “It is not uniform in that it exempts from its operations all mutual incomes, whose aggregate wealth is $t,200,000,000 and imposes a tax upon all other insur arice companies. It exempts Building and Loan Associations whose aggregate holdings are $268,000,000. Savings Banks operated upon the mutual plan are ex erupted from the operation of the tax, whose aggregate deposits are $1,748,- 000,000, while all other savings banks are taxed. ‘•The tax is not uniform because it varies according as the property belongs to an individual or to more than one in dividual. ‘ The tax is unconstitutional in that it imposes a tax upon property rights vested prior to the passage of the said act, and it deprives persons of their pro perty without due process of law.” Mr. Siegel’s attorney said that it was intended to test the entire act. before the Supreme Court. “Had the opinion of the court below been against the constitutionality of the entire tet, the decision of the Supreme Court would have caused the law to fail. By bringing the matter up again we wav get an opinion from the Supreme Court As General Black, the United States District Attorney, is away from the city no action will be taken in calling up the issue for hearing until next Monday.

POLITICS CAUSED IT ALL. A Banker and City Attorney Have a Duel ou the Streets. Jacksonville, Fla., April 15—This afternoon J. L. Marvin, banker, and J. M. Barrs, city attorney, met on the side wdik and a shooting affray oomrred. There had been bad blood between them on account of factional political criminations and recriminations having passed which led to the assault three weeks ago by Marvin and brothers upon Barrs with canes Since then Marvin, expecting assault has been armed. When they met by chance to day Marvin drew a pistol aud fired point blank. Barrs jumped forward, seized the weapon and thus diverted the aim. Marvin fired two or three shots without effect. All were arrested. Barrs had no weapon, aud says he made no belliger ent demonstration. Ou the other hand, Marvin says Bairs approached him and said: “D n you, I’ve got you now.” Then, according to Marvin, the shooting followed. The men are antagonistic in city pul - tics and the trouble is attributable to that fact. Barrs represents the re formers aud Marvin those opposed to reform. Oaly a few days ago Barrs was as saulted by the Marvins because of his : opposition to their methods, and it is supposed that this assault grew out of | that one. Florida’s pernicious election law is responsible for the trouble. ME r AL- WUR K EUS STRI KE. The Carnegie People Trying to Fill Their Places W ith Negroes.

THE EARTH TREMBLED \ IOLENT EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS FELT THROUGHOUT EURO PE. MANY PERSONS ARE KILLED. A Large Number of People are aho Injured by Falling Buildings—Ex cited Inhabitants of the Cities Flee to the Open Country—! he Direction of the Distuibanccs from Southeast to Northwest—Ten Shocks were Felt —Even Trains were Wrecked. Vienna, April 15. —Violent shocks of earthquake were experienced through out Southern Austria last night, the manifestations beginning at midnight, and at Laibaek, 35 miles northwest of Trieste, between midnight and 7:30 this morning. All churches, public buildings, and residences in the two were damaged. Several persons were killed by falling | walls and a large number were injured At Veldon ten shocks were felt, and at Trieste four. Shocks were also felt at Abazzaia, Gorizia, Cilli and other place**, iu all of which many buildings were damaged. The direction of the disturb ances was from southeast to northwest. Slight seismic vibrations were also felt in this city. Communication between Labach and Trieste is suspended. In many of the districts people are camping out in the fields. Shocks at Rome, Veuice and Verona. Rome, April 15. —Severe shocks of , earthquake were felt at Venice and | Verona yesterday. Many buildings were damaged, and several persons injured. At the first sock in Venice the guests lied from the hotels to the public squares, and the inhabitant- de.-erted their homes and took refuge in the open spaces. Many left the city this morning fear ing a recurrence of the shocks. Shocks were also txperienced at Bo logna, Ferrara and Trevise, in each of which towiis great damage was done to buildings In Trevise the entire audience rushed from a theatre to the street at the first shock. Many were hurt in the panic, but no one was killed. Shocks have been generally felt throughout the north of Italy. Scene* of Terror at Trieste. Trieste, April 15.— Persons coming from Laibaek give vivid descriptions of the scenes of terror during the earth quakes. The first shock shortly af f er midnight was so severe tha’ the whole population was aroused, and hundreds ran half naked into the streets. By 3 o’clock the streets were blocked with carts and car riages in which the sick and aged and children were being conveyed to places of safety. A little later vans loaded with furni ture could be seen on every side. Men and women carrying clothing and boxes of valuables crowded the streets, and often stupped completely the progress of the vehicles. Terrified groups knelt ou the corners and before churches praying for deliverance and begging the priests to pray for them. The barracks, the museum, the distil lery and half a dozen other large build ings were laid in ruins Scores of other buildings were cracked aud half shaken from their foundations. At Fiume the audience in the players theatre had just nseu to leave the build ing when the first, shock came. All the crowd rushed madly to the exits. Many persons were injured in the struggle, but none fatally. All night boats with fugitives put out from the Fiume wharves to the shipping. There is hardly a vessel iu the harbor without Fiume families on board who refuse to return to land. During the panic in Trieste a fright ened horse ran down a crowded street 1 injuring twenty persons seriously and knockiug down fifty or sixty. The harbor was agitated as if by a storm and several boats carrying per sons to the shipping were capsized. S'x persons were drowned. Slight shocks have been felt here throughout the day. All the clocks in the city stopped at 11:20 o'clock this moiling. Persons ar riving at the railioad stations report deaths and damage to property in many towns beside those already mentioned. They say that along the railroad lines they saw thousands camping in the fields. Toe trains were wrecked by the shocks. Some say that the rolling motion was a* noticeable as ou a ship at sea. All reports indicate that the shocks followed the lines from Florence to But z n, Florence to Vienna, and Seragiue, in Busina, to Stain-An-A. gar, iu Hun gary.

To the Editor of the News and Observt r. 3 Will you kindly allow me a short space in your valuable paper to answer a few very incorrect statements made by Mr. | Satterfield in his article of April 4th. He starts out by saying that “House) ; Bill 1,018 was introduced by R. ! Smith, a Republican.” False to start on. lam not a Repul? lican, nor a Populist, but a Democrat pure and uudtfiled and Mr. Satterfield well knows it. With this for a start we are not surprised to find many other equally false statements inhisexplana tions of the handling of this famous bill. He says this bill was called up at the evening session of March 12th, and on motion of Mr. Lee, of Haywood, was “tabled by a large majority.” The same was promptly stamped “tabled” in large letters by myself.” The above are Mr. Satterfield's facts??) But let us see what are the real facts as shown by com petent witnesses. First the bill was not called up on March 12th, as he tries to prove in order to make it harmonize with the stamp afterwards placed on the bill, for the Caucasian, in its report of the proceedings of March 11th says that it was tabled at the even ing session of March 11th. Now tell me how this paper could have given this in its proceedings of March 11th if it was not tabled until the 12th? Hon. Lee 8. Overman, who was in the Hall of the House on March 11 and was not there on March 12 states that while ho was in the Hall the bill was taken up and disposed of. In the Chailotte Observer of April 4th, Mr. Satterfield says that his journal and calendar both show that it was tabled March 12th. I cannot say what his calendar shows as that can’t be found, but Ido know that his journal shows nothing of wbat disposition the House made of this bill. I will admit that it I ought to state these things,but it doesn’t. Who is to blame? From the above we see that the bill was “tabled” on the night of March 11th, but the bill itself shows it was not so stamped until the 12th or next day. Do you call that promptly stamping it ? The next point at which Mr. Satter field tries to pervert facts, so as to shield himself from responsibility, is in regard to our meeting on March 12th. I have twice before stated these facts just as they occurred, but 1 will again say that we did meet; that he showed me the bills, and said that he was going to give them to the enrolling clerk, and at that time the bill was not stamped “tabled,” and that he said he would go back and see about it. The above are substan tially the facts as they occurred, and Mr. Satterfield acknowledged the truth of the same to me in Raleigh on April 2d iu the presence of Mr. W. E. Chris tian, reporter for the News and Ob server. But now this “great explainer'’ tries to deny facts and shape them to suit his own suspicious conduct. 1 say suspicious, because it does iook queer that a bill which the House ordered “tabled” March 11th was rot so stamped until the 12th, and even then ic had not bpen done when he told me that he was guing to have it en rolled or give it to the enrolling clerk. Queer conduct indeed for a clerk to take a “tabled” bill, or one that has only ! passed its first reading, and start to i have it enrolled. “When first we venture to deceive, What a tangled web we weave.” In this web Mr. Satterfield has caught j himself completely. Again he says “it is false that any bill was ever stamped through the House by myself or aDy clerk without a vote of the House.” Will he please state how ! the bill to amend the Goldsboro Graded ; Schools and place women ou the board j of trustees got through the House and was enrolled fur ratification when the facts are that it was killed on the third j reading? Again he says “It is false that bills or bill was lost in the House pending session of 1895.” Will he please explain what became of House bill 664, which passed its three readings in the House and was or dered engrossed, as the House calendar shows, but the engrossing clerk never received and was never found, and lor w T hieh I offered a substitute. He says that “It is inequivocally false that H. B. 1018, as considered by the House was taken out by cny person and allowed to be enrolled.” While the fact is the bill was enroll ed and is now a law. Will he explain this mystery? If it never left his office how did the enrolling clerk get it? Did Mr. Satterfield himself enroll it? Turn on the light. He says, “my calen dar shows if a dead letter.” I looked for it iu the capitol, where it should be but could nut liud it. Have you oaten it? Here it is three weeks after the ad journme-1 of the legislature and you Lave not y ♦ t delivered your calendar to the State Librarian, as the law requires. What aie you doing to it?” One more question, what become of that protest offered by Mr. Ray, which was ordered to be placed upon the jour nal, but is not then ? R. L. Smith. Guilford Hina Again.
