NO RAPE COMMITTED.
But Lady Badly Frightened by
Worthless Negro.

Newbern, n. c., Oct. 12.-(Special.)-
No rape has been committed here,
though a negro man, Charles Harris, is
held behind bars for attempted rape,
which the warrant called for. A visit
ing lady here was in an out house in
the yard and the negro was lounging
around and the lady catching sight of
him screamed, when the negro ran and
crowd pursuing him forced him into
the river, where he was captured. The
crowd pursuing him and his attempt to
escape made it more sensational than it
really was.
The negro tried to prove an alibi at
the hearing, but failed. He had no
business in the yard, and has been chased
out of yards here before. 1t seems that
he has crazy wandering disposition,
and was just dismissed from court last
week, being charged with larceny.

BERING SEA CONFERENCE
AST0k!SHED AT GREAT BRlTIAN'S RE-
FUSAL TO PARTICIPATE.
Sec'y. Sherman Writes Thus to Lord Salisbury
"A Conference According TO the Terms of
Salisburys Agreement Suggested.

Washington, d. c., Oct. II. -Secre.
tary Sherman has written a reply to the
note of Lord Salisbury, expressing
Great Britain's declination to take part
in a Bering sea conference in which
Russia and Japan are to participate.
The answer states that the United
States government views with astonish-
ment the determination of Great Britain
not TO participate in a conference includ-
ing Russia and Japan, and the state
ment is made that up to the 23d of last
month the United States authorities had
fully expected that the conference
would proceed with Russia and Japan.
as well as Great Britain, present 1t is
pointed out, that aside from the written
correspondence. to which Lord Sails
bury had called attention, there were
verbal negotiations between Ambassador
Hay and his lordship in which specific
reference was made to the participation
of Russia and Japan. At one of these
verbal exchanges, it is stated, Lord
Salisbury said he would advise with the
Officials of the Foreign Office concern
ing the subjects discussed which includ-
ed the participation of Russia and ia
pan. Subsequently, on July 20. Ambas-
sador Hay wrote to Lord Salisbury say
ing the President had hoped to have
Russia and Japan participate in the con-
ference. In view of these circumstances
the United States had confidently ex-
pected that Great Britain would take
part in the conference and that Russia
and Japan would be represented with
the approval of Great Britain.
Besides the foregoing reply and in
view Of the differences which have arisen
the State Department suggests con
ference in accordance with the terms of
Lord Salisbury's agreement as he con-
strues it, namely, between experts of
Great Britain, the United States and
Canada. This last feature is now under
consideration by the British government,
its substance having been transmitted
by cable, but it is not expected that an
answer will be made until Mr.. Sher-
mans answer in detail reaches London.
In the meantime preparations for the
conference between the United States,
Russia and Japan are proceeding. The
Japanese delegates, who are now en-
route from San Francisco, will not
reach Washington until next Sunday
nlght. Two Of the Russian delegates,
MT Rotkine and Mr.. Routkowsky. are
mere and the remaining delegate, Mr..
6rebnttsky, is expected soon. While
no exact date has been fixed for the
conference, the expectation is that all
! the delegates will be here in time to
meet Wednesday, October 20
