PiYTYT TiW LUl i AJJlJht. SHAICI TALK TO CHINA'S I tl. IO.U.UIMO. 1 ,U. Complete Text of the Protocol. He Itohlly Accused the Celestial (iovernment of Trifling With IU Obligations. How Japan Will Treat For I'eace. London, -March 10. The full text of all the protocols" and other corres pondence in connection with the recent abortive peace propositions of China to Japan has been received here. The documents were laid before the Japan ese Parliament on the 5th of February last and have been translated into English and printed for the informa tion of foreign governments. They are quite interesting. The last of the series is perhaps most, explanatory and fully discloses the attitude of Japan toward China. It consists of a translation of a speech addressed by Count Ito, the Japanese plenipotentiary, to Chang , in Hoon and Shao yu Lien, the Chinese peace commissioners, at a conference held on the 2d of February, 1895. Count Ito spoke as follows: j "The measure whicli my colleague and myself &nd it necessary at; this moment to adopt is the logical and in evitable result of a situation for which we are in no wise responsible. "China has hitherto held herself almost entirely aloof from other powers, and while she has in some in stances enjoyed the advantages aqe'ru mg to her as a member of the family of nations, she has perhaps more frequently denied the responsibilities of that relation. She has pursued a policy of isolation and distrust.iand consequently her external relations have not been characterized byjthat frankness and good faith which are essential to good neighborhood, j "Instances ae not wanting in which Chinese commissions, after having formally agreed to international conr pacts, have refused to affix their seals, and case3 might be cited in which treaties solemnly concluded have been unceremoniously and without appar- ent reason repudiated. J "Those unfortunate occurrences find a sufficient exlanation in the fact that China was not on those occasions seriously in earnest, but beyond jthat it might be said with truthThai the officials who were designated to carry on negotiations had not been clothed with the necessary authority for the purpose. ' "It has from the1 first been' the jwish of Japan to avoid results which history teaches her are liable to be the' out come of negotiations with Chinese officials who are not clothed with- full power in the sense in which that term is usually understood. Consequently the imperial government made it a condition precedent to any peace ne gotiation that the Chinese plenipoten tiaries should be furnished with; full powers to include peace, and it was only upon receiving positive assurances from the Chinese government that the condition precedent had been com plied with and that the Chinese plem- TS EIEI DOMESTICS-LIXEXS.

"'potential xes were on their way to ,Pap.n , tLat hls maje5ty, the Emperor of Japan, conferred upon my colleague and myself full powers to conclude and sign pieliminaries of peace with the plenipotentiaries of China. "Tha. your excellences' powers are, notwithstanding that assurance, fatally defective, is to me a sure indication that the government of China is not yet really solicitous for peace. "Criticism is nearly exhausted by a 6iraple comparison of the two instrr ments which were reciprocally ex changed at this board yesterday, but it 13 not out of place to point put that one fulfills the definition which is usually given among civilized states to the term 'full powers,' while the other is destitute of nearly all those qualities which are regarded as essen tial to such powers; it even fails to indicate, the subject upon which your excellencies are to negotiate; it does not authorize your excellencies to in clude or sign anything; it i3 silent on the subject of the subsequent imperial ratification! of your excellencies' acts. In short, it would seem that the'' au thority which has been conferred upon your excellencies would be completely fulfilled by your reporting to your government what my colleague and myself might have to say. In this sit uation it would be impossible for us to continue negotiations. "It may be urged that usage is not entirely ignored in this instance. I cannot admit the sufficiency of such an explanation. ' I disclaim any right to interfere with the pure domestic customs of China, but I deem it not only my right, but my duty to insist that in international concerns affecting my own country, the Deculiar methods of China shall yield to the superior rules of international intercourse. "The restoration of peace is a matter of the greatest importance. To bring about a re establishment of amicable relations it is not only nec-, essary that treaties with that object in view should be signed, but it is imperative that the engagements should be fulfilled in good faith. . "While Japan has found no reason to approach Cfiina on the subject ot peace, she nevertheless feels bound in deference to that civilization which she represents, to listen to any bona Gde overtures which China may ad vance, but she will decline to take part in the future in any fruitless ne gotiations, or to become a party to a paper peace. The terms which Japan agrees to will be scrupulously observed by her, and she will at the same timo insist upon a like observance of the terms by China. "Whenever, therefore, China finds herself seriously and sincerely desi rous of peace, and will confide actual Tull powers to Chinese whose names and positions will serve as an assur ance that the terms which they may agree to will be confirmed and carried out in good faith, Japan will be pre pared to enter upon new negotiations." The Central News correspondent in Tokio quotes this dispatch, which was sent from Yln-Kao or New Chwang, on March 7: "The first division reports that the forts south and west of Yin Kao, on the left banl: of the river, have been taken to the last ditch and redoubt. Two soldiers were blown ud by the explosion of a mine in the Chinese line of defense. The Liao River i3 still frozen." Yesterday Gen. Xodzu reported that his army, with the aid of the first division, had attacked the Chinese at Tenchantal that morning. The Japa nese advanced from three directions one force coming from the east, one from the northeast, and the third from the northwest. A hot artillery fire was opened at 7 a. m., and under its cover the three bodies of troops stormed the town shortly before 10: 30. The Chinese numbered 10,000 or more. At first they fought stubborn ly, but eventually they broke and ran, throwing down their arms and making no effort to save standards or baggage. Most of the Chinese fled to the north west. Although the Japanese loss was but 100 killed, the Chinese left more than 2,000 dead and dying in and around the town. All the enemy's war material was captured. The town caucht fire dniing theCuht and be'ore night was burned to the ground. Gen. XodzU' has been promoted to the rank of marshal. The Km press of Japan will start for Hiroshima to-morrow to inspect all the military and Red Cross hospitals. ; The Central News' correspondent m Shanghai says that the Chinese are making great preparations to defend Formosa against the expected landing of the Japanese. RALEIGH 'LETTER. THE IjKG I S L AT VII tl AIMOUICXED. HAS Hook rublUhen Fay for Lobby Work Long; UUcauloB on Code Cammlulon, Hill Finally Imported Unfavorably Xew Directors for Penitentiary. Raleigh, X. C;, March 11, 1S95. s A resolution has; been adopted ia the Legislature that ft will adjourn sine die on Tuesday the l'2tb, and as the per diem ceased on the 9th there is but little, or no doiibt. but what their "bills" hotel and legislative, will cease on the 12th. The Legislature abolished the old custom of letting the State Board of Education select the books for the public shools, and has put it in the hands of the county boards. This will in all probability prove a rather costly mode of procedure. It is said that the book publishers have paid $10,000 to get this bill carried. In tho Senate the other night a motion was made to take up the bill relative to the Code Commission, when lo and behold, the bill could not te found. Finally it was resurrected. and when the President of the Senate got it, he found it had been endorsed as having passed its 3rd reading and or dered enrolled. Senators Starbuck and Paddison adherred firmly to a positive statement that the bill had now come up on its third and final reading. The President then said the bill would be regarded as being on its third reading and it passed. How did that endorsement get on the back of that bill is a question some would like to see answered. The railroad fight is on. Yesterday the S. A. L. train 'was held here for an hour while Attorney Watts and Vice President St. John held a con ference over the wires. It was re ported that the train was held urt by an injunction, but that was a mist ike. In the bill to turn the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad over to the fusionists it authorizes the State treas urer instead of the Governor to: ap point the trustees. This is a thing never before done in the State. The Populists and Renublicans now hold separate caucuses. At a Populist caucus Major Guthrie was slated lor one of " the Code Commissioners, and t he other two conceded to the Repub licans. Otho Wilson was chosen as Railroad Commissioner. In this cau cus . Harry Skinner made a strong speech and,-boldly announced that the charter of jWilmington was not to be changed. He also demanded that the contract made between the Governor, Populist Senator Cook, and Republi can Senators Moody and Grant be kept. This contract was that if Gov. Carr would appoint, to' fill vacancies, on the asylum boards men that they named, that they would leave the management alone,Governor Carr had made these appointments, and they had been confirmed, and now a pro position had come up to appoint six additional members of the boards. His plea was so strong that the bill was re-referred to the committee on insane, with instructions that it be killed in the committee room. In the Republican caucus Spencer Blackburn and Daniel L. Russell were nominated for Code Commissioners. Campbell of Cherokee, was for giving the Populists all the Code Commis sioners and demanding the Railroad Commissioner's place. He said the Republicans needed a man who was constantly before the people. Malvern H. Palmer is slated for the clerkship of the Code Commission. He is from Warren. Major Guthrie in a card de nies that his son is a candidate for the clerkship. There is a new, but strong law firm just been formed here. Col. T. M. Argo and Mr. Wmv B. Snow, bave; entered into a partnership for the practice of law. . v The Supreme Court has handed down the decision in the Mills murder case "no error" so the Governor will have to resentence him to be hung. Mills seems perfectly indiffer ent to his fate. He is believed by some to be idiotic. The Jim Young bill to negroize Raleigh has been killed, but the Shaffer bill with some amendments has passed This is not so objectionable a bill as the Young bill. Yonng is the negro representative from Wake. The Legislature has passed a bill which gives the fusionists a majority of three on the Board of Agriculture and puts the A. and M. College under the control of the same board. Sen. Mewborne will fill the place made vacant by the resignattoi of Com missioner Robinson. Eldridge from Wilkes, lntiodaced a bill in the House appropriating $100,000 out of tho State treasury to pay railroad bonds issued m Wilkes to a railroad. Its supporters tried to get it through without reading it. bat It was read on demand of a Democrat and tabled. The fight over tho "State aid" ques tion came up "right side up" last week The Dro's and con's appeared before the Educational Committee, and passed compliments. Dr. Durham was questioned as to how he voted, and then asked about bis stand on this subject after having Toted the Demo cratic ticket. He said a man who did not vote and act as he saw fit to do, was no m6re competent to be a citizen of the State, than was Joseph us Daniels to run a newspaper. He said that Wake Forest would not nave the appropriation if it could upon this Major Guthrie poured hot shot into him by asking, why then did he play the dog in the manger and refuso to the University what he would not have. The committee sent in a favor able report and the $20,000 Univer sity appropriation goes on. The Nor mal and Industrial College gets its same appropriation and $10,000 for neceiisary improvements-! There are to be nine new directors of the penitentiary. There is a $22, 000 debt on the penitentiary; $20,000 of which it is claimed is the result of the fall in the price of products. The bill provides for $14,000 for debt of 1894; $35,000 for maintenance and debtof T895, and $25,000 for a con tingent fund for 1896. Kitchen of Halifax, and Reinhart -of Catawba, are both looking to the place of superintendent- Kitchen wanted the Rail road Commission, but he slipped up. After the Legislature decided to kill the bill appropoiating $5,000 to tho women of North Carolina for an exhit, the ladies decided upon a very unique and suitable mode of ehowing why there is no exhibit there, in the room, in the Women's Building, that is assigned to C, & large pine table is to be placed. Upon this table, will be the petition and bill nicely framed In another frame will be a picture of the members of the Senate with the ayes and noes marked thus showing those who tabled so promptly the bill. On Friday night in tho House a bill was tried to be "sneaked m" to re duce the University appropriation 815,000 It was introduced Ty Mr. Bryan of Chatham. His little game was "caught on to" and his bill was killed. . , Tt is said that Russell says, in speak ing of Blackburn (one of the code commissioners) that as long as a clerk has been put on the commission, they must look oui for a lawyer for clerk. Russell and Guthrie are rather dis gusted with the cut In the salary of code commissioner. The bill to create the code commis sion was reported unfavorably from committee. Mr. Crawford moved to table it and on this he insisted, despite Mr. Henderson's protest. The bill was tabled. Thi3 brought Mr. French to his feet. He said that the House had voted under a misapprehension, ne moved to reconsider. The Speaker said I the House and voted regularly. Mr. French's motion to take the bill from' the table failed, ayes 33, noes 43. This created quite a buzz. Mr. Hen derson shook with laughter as he sat in his seat. Quite a number ot Popu lists and some Republicans voted not to take from the table. Raleigh N.C. March 13 The Fu sionists wanted to get their bill - to create the insurance coramissionership up in the House to day. Satterfield, who wanted the place, bad the bill in his hand and French was to try to get it up, bat all this failed. There was no quorum. Several other nice little plans were knocked into pi. The " ecenes in the House will long be remembered by the hundreds of spectator8"who packed the lobbies an,d galleries. The Speakers voting on a li motion to suspend the rules, in order to make tip the required 61, and his ordering the doors locked when there was no call ofthe nouse are new things in North Carolina or any where else. i " ! The fgrab" at the Atlantie and North Carolina railroad failed, just as you were told. So did that at the North Carolina" railroad. The Speaker said: "The tale is told; our work is done and the memorable session, of which folly half the time has been devoted to political discussion is ended." At" 12:13 o'clock be de clared the House adjourned tin. dU. . I STATE NEWS. -:o:- GOOD PROSPECT FOIt THK PEACH CHOP.
