Japan to Hold the Liao Tup Cy"-\f- sula For a Time. Washington, May O.-An official dit. Pitch from Tdklo reoulved el the Jap- accse legation here this afternoon scatcs that ’the ratifications of the treaty of peace between China, and Ja pan were exchanged at Cm-efoo on Wednesday. It Is understood that no change was made to the text of the treaty as originally concluded, hut ac. cotdlng to the recommendatlo,ns ad vanced by Russia, Germany and France,, the Japanese govenunant has agreed to renounce the permanent pos session of the Liao Tung peninsula on condition, however, that the arrange ments regarding the former terms of the renunciation shall be reserved for edjustmeot between Itself and the gov ernment of China. This latter stipula tion Is construed to mean that Japan will not surrender the peninsula until & suitable indemnity shall have been ptr.d and that lt may be even agreed belt,ween Japan and China that the pos session of Port Arthur Itaelf will be re tained for a term of years extending beyond the dale when the Indemnity shall have been paid In full, thus guar anteeing to Japan not alone the pay ment of the Indemnity itself hut also sufficient time to safeguard herself apainot anything like a war of reprisal. The treaty of peace Itself provides that Wel-iHal-Wel shall be held until the first 100,000,000 tads and the next two annual installments of the Indem nity have been paid so that with the added guarantee or the possession of Port Arthur, although only temporary, the Japanese government appears to have taken every puestulu precaution for the future.

Washington, May ft.—Southern Bap tists are swarming Into Washington on all of the railroads from that sec tion of the country, and tho Norfolk boat arriving this morning brought 800 of them. The regular convention does not open until tomorrow, but there are old allied organizations which are hold ing their session coincident with tho main gathering, aud these suffice to bring delegates on ahead as well as members of these organizations who may not be themselves accredited del egates to the convention. It Is the semi-centennial meeting of the convention, and this fact alone would make it one of the most Inter esting of the life of the organization since it ui**ppt*l the Northers branch of the church in 1815. This being a delegate body whose members are chosen, ss » rule, by ballot from the churches or societies which they are here to represent, lt may be said to comprise in its ranks the leading lights of the demoniinratton In the South. The series of meetings was inaugu rated last evening with the annual ses sion of the Baptist Educational So ciety, which sms held at the First Bap tist ehureh on Eleventh street. This morning there was held a con ference upon the question of organizing the Young People’s Societies of the Southern Baptist churches into a body to cooperate with tho convention in directing the work ariong the young people. It was called to order by Rev. Dr. R. H. Pitt, editor of the Religious Herald, ami Professor P. II. Mell of Alabama was made moderator and O. F. Gregory of iM.icyl.rml secretary.

Tomorrow morning at ft o’clock the meeting of the Woman's Foreign Mis sionary Union will be held at tho Cal vary Baptist church, when an uddrest of welcome w.ll be delivered by Mrs. Stakely, the wife of the pastor of the First Baptist church. As the delegates are not expected to have all registered before tomorrow, It Is not pomihle to estimate the size of the crowd that will l>e here, but it Is believed that 3.000 will be a conserva tive estimate. Dr. Stakely said a day or two ago that from tbe way applica tions for accommodations were pouring in, he thought there would be In the neighborhood of 1,000 delegates pres ent when the convention to called to rider tomorrow. Many of these will doubtiosH have oiher members of their families with them, an dthese will go to swell the size of the gathering. Tike very best of arrangements have been mads by the local committee for the comfort and welfare of the visiting host. Pnstofflc facilities have been prepared and everything has been dono to smure the delegates that nowhere can they fed ss much at home as in the beaut’ful capital city. Dr. R- H. Pitt presented the report of the committee on it he subject of the organisation of a young people’s so ciety, as follows: ‘That It Is the sense of this confer ence shat an organisation of young people auslliary to tbe Southern Bap tist conference is eminently desirable. "That the Soutliern Baptist confer ence at Its approaching session be re quested to provide for such n organza- •Thalt a commlttei be appointed by thla meeting to present their resolu tions to tbe convention. "It la also resolved that this con ference make the most explicit and emphatic declaration that such organi sation as my be effected ought to fully recogrise the Inviolable Independence and autonomy of the church, and leav ing It to each church to settle for Itself whether It shall have s young people's union or not, and If It shall have a union .whether there shall be 'tutslde uffllltatlon or r.ot and the diargcler of such affliltatton. ••mat tha conference extends tra'ernai greetings to the Baptist Young People's Union of America, soon to hold its an nual meeting In Baltimore, and bids tn-.m God speed In their benlflcent worn.' Dr. Pttt stated that the members of the committee were by no meant unanimous in their views and that tha unanimous re port made to the conference was the result of conooealons by the Individual members.

REASON’S GIVEN FOR TBE ACTION • Its Minister Gats Iufumia- Yltw mi to Newspapers With to Influencing Sentiment In Favor of Annexation# San Fmncteco, May 9.—United Press correapohdeno? from Honolulu May 2 nays: Yesterday after a meeting of the ex ecutive and advisory council, Mr. Hatch, tpinlster of foreign affairs, stated that on the 30th ult., Mr Willis called on him and road a letter from Secretary of State Gresham dated Feb ruary 21,’ l ist, which he said had been sent to Japau by mistake. Intimating that Mr. Thurston to no longer person ally acceptable to the ailtu.n-imratlou at Washington as Hawaiian minister. The ground Is that Mr. Thurston hud allowed a rmwriof of the press to read private letters to iMr. Thuraton from Honolulu concerning the conditions and sentiments there, portions of which were made public. Three letters also contained criticisms upom the .policy of America, low.irti Hawaii witch were not publish** 1 but ouno to the knowl edge <it Mr. Gresham. The communication wns discussed by the cabined at the morning session nnd a meet,ng of the council was caibd at 4 o’cloak in the afternoon* The ses sion was $ short one and no definite action was taken on the matter. Secretary Gresham's teller to Mr. Willis accus s Thurston of having given to newspaper correspondents the matter contained in letters from Hawaii concerning the sentiment of the people there regarding annexa tion. 'H* asked Mr. Thurston when ho called at die state deparmeut tor an Interview concerning the seizure of a vessel with arms for Hawaii alt Ban Diego, Cal, why he was-not pleased with Minister Willis' action In connec tion with * recent events at Honolulu and Showed him a newspaper clip ping. He said he had furnished one paracraph'of the matter to ihe paper for publication. He asked Mr. Thurs ton If he had fumlslhed the remainder of the article, nod h • answered that he had fumbl*'! nothing to' that or any Cither paper* but that berind ;»'r- mlttrd an m pi »<jei. Jt.’v of tho pr.* im iii'inn" 'o eoittt hi* nriva!, ■ i ' l-i i ■ • i \ -1. tlon relative, to the occurrences at Honolulu. The truth ts that Mr. Thura ton, while tn Washington, bus during the last year and a half devoted him self largely to Inaplrlng newspaper crit ic toms of the aamlnlntratlon's actions in Hawaiian affairs. Mr. Thuraton exhausted the patience of Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Gresham when he Inspired the newspaper assaults on United States Minister Willis for tho action of that officer under explicit Instruction* of the department tn look ing after tho Interests of American citizens changed before the mllltaiy tribunal at Honolulu with complicity In the alleged insurrection. In other words, Mr. Thurston's recall was de manded 'because he attempted to dis credit Mr. Willis before the American people for doing his duty to American citizens charged with capital offenses In Honolulu.

He said the let ters containing The omitted passages were submitted by him to the repre sentative! of the press association to be copied for publication, not as ex pressing his alficlal or personal views, but as showing 'the strife of feeling In Honolulu.” “I then remarked that all I desired to know was whether he had furnished the matter for publication and he re peated that he bad not furnished It In his representative capacity or as ex piring hto personal view* but merely as Information and that in dolnr so it was not his purpose to Injure the administration, the president or Mr. Willis. •'I remarked that he had permitted the letters, including the omitted parts, to be copied for publication and that he no doubt was disappointed that the omitted parte did not appear and I asked him if he thought he could with propriety as the representative of a foreign government at this capital furnish newspapers with such matter. Hta reply was that he had simply fur nished It em nr ell or information which the public might like to hear from 'Honolulu and that Senator Kyle had re ceived a letter even more severe In Its terms which had been given to th* pub lic to which l rejoined that Senator Kyle was a citizen of the United States, and as such, might say and do things which a foreign minister could not say or do with propriety. Here the Inter view ended. "When Mr. Thurston called at the de partment two days later, he Informed me that there waa a further statement he desired to make. After being told that If he wished to say anything more on the subject It should be th writing he at once proceeded: "I simply desire to say, Mr. Secretary, that I realise that I wna guilty of ofll- ctoJ impropriety In rurnlahlng for publi cation that matter mentioned In our former Interview.
