Tok io, December s.—Japan has
notified China {that no further
peace proposals will be considered
unless made by a regularly accred
ited ambassador from the Chinese
court. At the same time Japan re
minds China that it is not Japan
but China that is suing for peace.
Japan is dissatisfied with China’s

that China is seeking concessions

looking to a settlement.
WAR MATERIAL FOR CHINA.
London, Dee.s.—The Central
News corespondent in Shanghai
says that the British steamer Guy
Mannering is landing there, from
Hamburg, war material valued at
£ISS,(XX).
A Central News dispatch from
Chee Foo says that Commissioner
Detring, who returned on Sunday
from Japan, repeated in an inter
view' today the statements he made -
on Monday, that he was empower--
ed to negotiate for peace with
Japan, in the name of the Chinese
board of foreign affairs, and that
he was recalled because the negotia
tions for peace had passed into the
hands ot the American ministers to
Japans and China.
Commissioner Detring added
that Colonel Hannekan, the com
mander in-chief of the Chinese ferc
es is raising 100,003 soldiers to he.

BODY SNATCHERS
Professors and Students Are
Charged
Lincoln Neb., December 5 -The
case of the state against the Cotner
Univfsity students, Professore and
janitors for body snatching is be
ing vigorously contested. The de
fendants, visiting students and
their lady friends iu Court this
morning all wore the colors of the
university, red and orange. Pre
vious to the opening of the Court an
excursion was mabe to the receiv
ing vault in Wyuka Cemetery.
This was a move on the defense
for the purpose of rebutting evi
dence relating to the identifica
tion of the ramarns. The case for
the defense hangs upon this point.
Defendant J. A . Burford was the
first witness. He testified that he
and Meban were student-janitors
cf the university. He denied hav
ing said at the time the body was
carried downstairs that it was hea
vier *han when it was carried up.
This contradicts the testimony of
Trnsty Byers. The prosecution de
manded a sample of Burford’s
handwriting, on the theory that he
wrote the letter purporting to come
from a Chicago man, offering to
furnish the college the body claim
ed to have been stolen. It was
grantsd, and was not similar.
