possible way. Hard cash is what Hill needs

THE CoNFERENCE.

The work of the Conference yesterday
was mostly preliminary and for getting
things in shape for the dispatch of bust
ness. Bishop Hendrix is an admirable
presiding officer and does not allow
things to drag.
The abandonment of the reading of
reports of pastors will give more time
for the discussion of the correctional
interests of the church and will proba-
bly, shorten the session.
The question of the change of time of
holding the conference is matter that
is likely to engage the attention of the
conference, as indicated by the close
vote by which Rev. Mr.. Hyde's resolu-
ton was tabled indefinitely.
The reports of the presiding elders
show great progress in the work of the
church, especially in the rapidly de-
veloping sections of Southwest Vir-
GINA.
Dr. Potter's address was practical and
to the point, and will doubtless do much
to increase interest in the missionary
work

ciall-The Republicans at their caucus
this noon finally agreed on an amended

BRIGHTER FOR BUCHANAN.

1t has been an open secret that after
the big sale at Buchanan last fall there
was serious trouble in getting the pur-
chasers to settle. 1t is also we'll known
that there has lately been a re-organi-
cation Of the board and that Mr.. C. NJ.
Clark, of Philadelphia, has been made
president. A firm believer himself in
the future Of buchanan, he has been
able to inspire tho same confidence in
others.
We are able to announce that within
the last few days the investment COM
panies of Roanoke have settled for their
large purchases, outside buyers are pay
ing up, and that all past trades will
very shortly be closed up. We look
for very active and prosperous times in
the near future for Buchanan.

George Colvin Returns.

George Colvin has returned to Rail-
road avenue. Yesterday morning he
opened his doors and beheld with sur
prise and modification the absence of
his furniture. George was not discour-
aged, however, and hustled around in
great shape for fresh supply of plum
der. The chief of police looked in near
noon and saw George seated in company
with two pals in trouble. One lad a
wooden leg and the other one eye. The
stove between them was not very large,
and hardly suffices the contingency Of a
snack house. George is very, very de-
spondent and talks strongly of commit
ing suicide. He also talks of bringing
suit against Evans s. Chalmers for
searching his premises.

OPEN TO ARBITRATION.

The Boring Sea negotiations have
taken turn for the better. Lord Sails
bury wrote letter February 81 which
has just come to light, in which he
makes possible the use of arbitration.
The United States having, according to
him, conceded that Boring Sea is not
closed sea, the claim of the United
States to prevent the exercise of the
seal fishery by other nations in Boring
Sea rests now exclusively upon the in
terest, which by purchase it possesses
in ukase issued by the Emperor Alex
ander I. in the year 1921, which pro-
hibits foreign vessels from approaching
within 100 Italian miles of the coast
and islands then belonging to Russia in
Boring Sea.
Says Lord Salisbury: "What are now the
rights of the United States as to the fur
seal fisheries in the waters of the Ber-
ing Sea outside of the ordinary terri
torial limits?" is a question which
would be very properly referred to the
decision of an arbitrator. But the sub.
sequent clause which assumes that such
rights could have grown out of che
ownership of the breeding islands, and
the habits of the seals resorting thereto,
involves an assumption as to the pre-
scriptions Of international law at the
present time, to which her majesty's
government is not prepared to accede.
But the British Premier shows q will
ingness to admit the material points to
arbitration which cannot very we'll end
unfavorably to the United States

and responsibilities, and at the same
time satisfy the public mind.
Can it afford to do otherwise?
If from any cause it should fail to
meet reasonable expectations, we can
make vigorous fight at the spring
election, and elect men who will sec
that the city's interest are projected.
If suoh remote and impossible con-
tingency should happen, as that the
present Council should improperly or
wantonly exercise it's functions, legal
measures can be had to restrain it until
its successor comes into power.
The appropriations are necessary.
A proper and safe expenditure of them
is equally necessary.
AS the matter now stands, we had
better secure the appropriations.
If the Councilman wisely exercise
their authority, sustain them.
If they don't, fight them to death.
A BUSINESS MAN.
The above commenicat ton so fitly
represents the position of a great many
freeholders that THE TIMES gives it ed
itorial prominence. The writer is one
Of the leading citizens of Roanoke. In
connection with it, THE TIMES takes
pleasure in stating that negotiations
toward an understanding are in progress
whereby proper safeguards to surround
the expenditure of the public moneys
will be guaranteed.
If these assurances are satisfactory
The TIMES will gladly lend it's best
efforts to save the ordinances from what
at present seems certain defeat.
