ANOTHER DISASTROUS PANIC
AT A JAPANESE FESTIVAL.
A disastrous incidést is reported from Osaka. The annual festival of Hirota Temple, Funade. machi, Imamiya, was celebrated on the 10th inst. An extraordinarily large number of people attended towards the evening. Some one gave a false alarma of fire at about 8.20 on seeing a smoking lamp on the road side near the temple and a general stampede followed. The same thing happened on the night of the annual festival at Kanda Templo, Tokyo, en child was trampled to the 20th alt., when
to death and two others were fatally injured, a number of others unstaining alight injuries. Happily the Osaka incident was not so serious, at the panic was so great that numbers of men zone account anys over a hundred-climbed on the roofs of the cottages by the road side in order to escape the crash, and there cried for help, dgabliess thereby adding to the confusion of the needlessly terrorised crowd. At the risk of their lives the policemon endeavoured to stop the mind rush of people toward the temple, Int their efforts wore almost in vain. Hundreds of pairs of gets wore picked up at the scene of the accident afterwards, besides a large quantity of hats, shawls and beori. Seren" medical men were sent for to attend to the injured.
THE U. S. S. OLYMPIA."
The U.S.5. Olympia will be out of the hands of the dockyard repairers by June next, and will thon rejoin the China Squadron. Her figurehead, it is stated, will be the handsomest of any in the service, It is a reproduction of the classic statue "The Winged Victory," cast in bronze. The Cruiser bore no figurehead in the Manila bay fight. She had on har bow simply the national shield in red, white and blue, with gilded scroll work, a device on all vessels of recent construction. According to specifications and preliminary models prepared by Naval Constructor Baxter, the new figure head and scroll work will contain about 3,000 pounds of bronze, and will be a lasting, appro prints memorial of the Olympia's war service. The figurehend, from the pedestal of dolphins to the eagle's head, will treasure about seven foot. Scroll work containing the national cost of arms on either side will run aft and under Death the hawae pipes, about twelve feat. För stern ornament Constuctor Baxter has chosen this design: An open space in a scroll frame at shield with an eagle pereked upon it, and on either aide, running forward about six Zoet to the six-pounder, sponsons, scroll work dolphins and figures emblematic of war.

THE WASHINGTON PROPOSAL.
Tokyo, 11th January,
It is reported that the American Government has proposed to the powers to remove the site of the peace negotiatious from Peking to Washing- ton. The report is evidently well-founded, as suggestion of the same nature was once brought before the foreign Ministers at Feking. It is further stated that the Japanese Government have received a proposal of this nature from Americe It appears to be understood, however, that the proposal is not likely to be put into effect.
VIEWS OF THE LEADING VICEROTS.
Shanghai, 12th January.
It is stated that Viceroy Lin holds that the proposal of the second article of the Peace Demands has already been adopted by the Chi- nese Government, which is taking mousures to panish the authors of the disturbances," and if it is impossible to panish some of them now, the opportunity must be deferred.
Regarding Article 5 Liu holds that if the Chinese Government is to arrange for the protection of foreigners the importation of arms must be permitted.
It will be necessary to prohibit the secret sale of arms only in order to prevent them reaching the hands of the banditti.
for Art. 6, the Powers are well aware of the state of the finances of China and they ought to reduce the indemnity and enable her to meet the demand. The Viceroy is reported to he opposed to the demand of Art. 7 as it thres- tens to disturb the Chinese Government's system.
The Viceroy ha wired his opinions to Heianfu; and it is understood that he has approved of the rest of the demands.
Viceroy Chang is also against the prohibition of the importation of arnis. He holds that the Legation gards should be limited to a small number, and that Art. 11 shall operate on the understanding that the integrity of China is netthreatened and that the natives means of living are not interfered with.
The Viceroy proposes an additional clause to
