——————— CLEVELAND AS HEDIATOR READY TO ARBITRATE BE- TWEEN JAPAN AND CHINA. France Asked the United States to Intervene and [tis Sald England Would Not Make Objection — China Japan's Position, A connected history of tha position taken by this Govornmaont with reference to the China-Japan war is as follows : Secretary Gresham, noting under inatrae- tions from Prea’dent Cleveland, telegraphed Minister Donby at Pekin that this country would, if desired, arbitrate the differences between China and Japan, On thesame day another dispateh, also inspired by Presi. dent Cleveland, was sent by Secretary Gresham to Mr. Dun, the United States Minister at Tokio. nouncing the willingness of the United States to mediate between the two countries, proceaded at constderable length to deflne our position. It added that in making this suggestion the United States was influsnced only by sentiments of friendship for both the contending parties; that no consideration of territorial aggrandizement entered into the question ; that our interests in the East were not materially affected by the war, and that the attitude of this Gov- ernment could not be open to any other con- straction than that of an earnest friend of the two nations (nterestod, Since these dispatches were sent the State Department has received assurances that China will accept the proposition, Noth- ing, meanwhile, has been heard from Tokio, but it is suspected in Administration circles that the Japanese Government will take no action until they have first been apprised of China's Intentions. In other words, the Japanese feel that they have all the advantage at present, and they will not move in the matter until satisfied that China Is willing to make paace oa terms satisfactory to them. These terms are well understood. They Include two con- ditions—the independence of Korea and a war indemnity sufficient to com- ponsate Japan for the expenses Incarred by or sinco hostilities began, Japan, it Is un- derstood, Is satisfied that if President @leve- land be chosen as arbitrator he will act fairly with both parties, and that he will fix the indemnity at such a figure as will satisfy Japan, Meanwhile Great Britain is making every effort, with the co-operation of France and other continental countries, to bring the war to a close, Thus far she has been un- successful, and she has been equally unsue- ceaslul in her desire to secure the co-opstg- tion of the United States {an a joint inter vention, The beliel is expressed in diplomatic circles that if the war bs pro- longed mueh further England may interiere and forcibly prevent any further aggressions on'the part of Japan. Such a step would at once involve the latter country in war with Great Britain and nowthat the Japanase have their ighting®lood up theywill not bs balked in their purposes of punishing China un- less prevented by a superior outside force. For this reason, therefore, Japan, it is thought, may the more willlagly consent to arbitration, although the fact is indisputa- ble that their consent to arbitration cannot be gained until China shall have first shown a disposition to accept the proposition made by the United States, } Victories for Japan. Advices from the armies commanded by Field Marshal Count Oyama, now opeating on the Leaotong Peainsala, confirm the re- ports of J. chow ahd Talienwan. Ope brigade ol Jap- anese captured Chinchiu, The next day Tallenwan was captured. Pield Mar- shal Oyama states in his official dis patches that the Chinese forces at Kin- chow numbered 1000 infantry and 100 cav- alry ; at Tabenwan 3000 infantry and 180 cavalry. The Chiness made little resistance at either places. They retreated toward Port Arthur, The Japanese lost only ten men in capturing both places. The Chinese losses also were slight. . ————— JUDGE ALLISON Shot by the Clerk of Nathville.

Mr Irby, of South Carolina, is classe in this arrangement as a Democrat, and Mr. Stewart and Mr, Jones, Nevada, are counted as Populists, Republicans are certainly sure of slection to the thres wvaoant seats from Montana, Washington and Wyoming, while In four other States —Kansas, Now Jersey, West Virginia and North Caroling Rapublican Senators will probably be chosen to suocesd Demooratie incumbents, These changes would increnss the Republican strength to 43, and reduce the number of GHERARDI RETIRED.
