WILL THE MIKADO WEAKEN? A Paris Rumor That He \Vill Bow to the Edict of the Powers and Moderate His Demands on China—A Curious Complication. Sr. Parnnsnune, April 29,—The su- preme military authorities have held sev- eral conferences during the past week in order to decide upon the military measures to adopt against Japan in the event of the rejection of the Russian demands regard- ing a. modification of the terms of the treaty of peace. -. PARIS, April 29.—It is reported here that Japan has agreed to revise the terms of the treaty of peace with China as de. sired by the intervening powers. ' Uncle Sam and Japan. LONDON, April 29.—The critical situa- tion in the far east is absorbing the atten- tion of the diplomatic world. and the pop- ular interest in the subject is scarcely less great. The Nicaargua quarrel. which or- dinarily would be a matter of much im- portance in the English public mind, is quite overshadowed by the crisis which darkens the eastern horizon. The latest report in diplomatic circles ' is that the United States have refused to . join Japan and England in resisting inter- ference with the treaty of peace by the new triple alliance of continental powers. However this may be, it is quite certain that Japan’s European representatives, who are much surprised and-disconcerted by the action of Russia, Germany and France are now perfectly satisfied with ‘the situation and profess to have assurances that nothing serious will result from the protest. ' - The revulsion of public opinion in France on the subject is almost comical. [The feeling that has induced her to join hands with her bitterest enemy, Germany, in defense of her natural foe. China, against her friend, Japan, all for no pos- sible gain for herself, has produced a pop- ular protest which no friendship for Bus sia can explain and which no ministry will dare to ignore. It may be taken for granted that France will not goa step further with her strangely mated. allies. The opinion now generally held‘is that Russia will be obliged to proceed if it comes to a question of armed intervention. A more palpable possibility seems to be that China herself, perhaps encouraged by' Russia, may refuse to ratify the treaty which has been made. In that case most of the dipolmats in London believe that Russia alone of the European powers will be willing to intercede to prevent the fall of Peking. There are not wanting opinions among competent judges of the situation to the effect that China, in any event, is on the eve of disruption, and that she does not possess sufiicient stability to carry out the terms of any treaty. These persons antici- pate a European scramble for China in the near future. They believe her helpless millions will be divided between Russia, " France and England. A Curious Spectacle. BERLIN, April 29.-—The curious specta- cle of Germany arm in arm politically with France and Russia in respect to the far east has completely taken the Germans aback. Germany has never been in such a position since before the war of 1870. Ac- cording to trustworthy information, the emperor himself is responsible for this turn of events, and it must be admitted that he has made a score in the game of politics, in view of the fact that Francois acting in concert with Germany against the na tional inclination, which is amply shown in the comments of the French newspa- pers, in which dissatisfaction is expressed at the French government entering into a combination with Germany. ' The important personal role which the emperor took in bringing about this situ- ation is quite equal to his prevous exploits on autocratic lines. Up to the middle Ol last week Germany’s policy was noninter- vention in the affairs of the far east unless Germany’s interests were directly con- cerned, and an official statement at the end of last week was, in effect, that Ger- many-would not interfere with the terms of peace imposed. . A sudden change, however, then oc- curred, for, as a result of the interchange of telegrams between the czar and Emper- or William, through the intermediary oi the Russian charge d’affaires at Berlin. his majesty took the reins of Germany’s policy in the far cast into his own hands. and. in view of certain expressions and half implied promises made by the czar, he directed a. change in diplomatic action in consonance with the views of Russia. The chancellor, Prince Hohonlohc, was then away from Berlin, visiting his estate at Sehillingsfurst, and neither his advice nor that of Freiherr Marschal von Bleber- stein, the imperial secretarv of che for foreign affairs, was sought for or given. Prince Hohenlohe, in fact, did not return to Berlin until last Wednesday, and in the lobbies of the reichstag on Tuesday it wai rumored that his position was shaken, and that Connt von Eulenburg would prob- ably replace him. The chancellor is in failing health and unable to devote himself as steadily to his "functions as previously. Nevertheless the rumor of his resignation is erroneous, or, at any rate, premature. , Afflicted With Rheumatism. Mr. Geo. A. Mills, of Lebanon, Conn, says: “I was afflicted with rheumatism in my back all last winter. It was so severe at times that I could not stand up straigh but was drawn over on one side. I trie different remedies without receiving an relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain s Pam Balm. After using it for three days, according to directions, my rheumatism was ' gone and has not returned since. I have smce recommended it to others and know they have been benefited by its use.

He Advocates Free Coinage, Says That Will Be the Issue In the Next Campaign, and That Cleveland Is Against the People and Has No Chance. CHICAGO, April 29.-—The most sensa- tional political development for many a day in Chicago, if not in the entire west. was made public yesterday afternoon. The coming Democratic state convention in II- linois will beyond all doubt declare for ", free silver without international agree- ment of any kind, and the movement is of such strength that other Western and southern states will be prevented with great difficulty, if at all, from following the lead of Illinois. As a party the Dem- ocracy of Illinois is doomed to disorgani- zation. The authority for these statements is Hon. John Mayo Palmer, corporation coun- sel of Chicago and one of the best known Democrats in the state. He is not a free silver man. On the contrary, he has a rep- utation with the more pronounced silver as a decided “goldbug. ” Mr. Palmer is the son of United States Senator Palmer, who has been leading the money fight for the national administration in Illinois. The statements were made in an interview yesterday afternoon, and the news has caused widespread comment and speculation. Silver’s Opponents Helpless. 0 Mr. Palmer said: "The sentiment in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 without inter- national conference or agreement seems to have taken complete possession of the Democracy of Illinois outside of Cook county. I conferred with men of all shades of opinion upon this subject, with Repub- licans as Well as with Democrats. I talked with Republicans because sometimes the lookerson see more than the game players. I met old friends with whom I could talk confidentially and got the impression that while there is a very strong and respecta- ble sentiment throughout the state in op- position to this currency theory, yet the opponents of 16 to l are without organiza- tion, apparently without any ambition to succeed and are singularly silent, while the silver men are vigorous, active and ag- - gressive. ”It seems to me utterly impossible that the opponents of 16 to 1 silver, should they take part in the June convention, could make any serious impression. The con- vention will unquestionably declare in te- vor of 16 to 1 without conference with any nation. We who oppose that view, al- though there are some differences of opin- ion among us, will, as a rule, take no part in the convention, although in some coun- ties delegations will be sent composed of leading men representing both views wholly irrespective of the sentiment in th particular locality. - \Vill Disrupt the Party. ”There has been a great deal of unnec- essary pcrs‘onal irritation and controversy over this subject which is very much to be deplored. There will be a good deal of talk about reading men out of the party. The immediate effect of the expected dec- laration will be to disorganize the Dem- ocratic party in this state if such a thing is possible. The ultimate effect, should the currency question be the prominent one of 1896, will be the reorganization of both parties on new lines. Those who, like myself, may be called conservatives have a faint hope that we may be able to induce the June convention to declare that it is inexpedient to draw party lines upon the silver question by a state convention, but I confess I have no very great confi- dence that we will be able to secure this. “Unless the refusal of the Democrats who agree with me to take part in the con- vention shall lead the party elsewhere tc believe that Democratic sentiment is not thoroughly represented by the convention, this declaration will have a very strong and powerful influence upon the parties in the western and southern states, but will not, I think, affect anything east of Ohio. ” Crisp For Free Silver. ATLANTA, April £9.——Speakcr Crisp, who is at his home in Americas, in an interview with a correspondent yesterday, declared for the free coinage of silver, and gave it as his opinion that the Democrats should nominate a western man for the presidency. Mr. Crisp said, among other things: “There should never have been any doubt as to my position on the ques- tion. I made a speech for free coinage ten years ago, before anybody but politicians had considered it. I stand to what I then said, and I have never varied.” ' i‘Will it be the one issue before the poo. ple next year?" “It will,” said he, “and in such a way that it must be settled directly, not by subterfuge or evasion, but openly, so that people may understand it. It will not “The majority of the American people in both political parties are in favor of restoration Of free coinage of silver. They are today behind the free silver movement, and they will push it on to success and have silver rc-cstablished to its old quan- tity with gold. In the next campaign-the rehabilitation of silver will be the main and controlling issue upon which the Dem- ocracy will appeal to the people. “The platform to be adopted in 1896 should declare for the free coinage cf sil- ver direct and with a set of principles re- sponding to the demands of the people. We should select some good man from the West, “some men with a military record, identified with the dominant sentiment that now controls the party. “The talk of Mr. Cleveland for a third. term under any conditions has no basis. The people will not make that break in the record. His views on the financial question are not shared by the people, and the conditions will be in many other ways different from what they Were in 1892."
