GREEN BAY, Va, March 10, 1901.
The Democratic voters of this dis
trict held mass meeting here yester-
day to appoint delegates to the County

to nominate candidate for the Con-
stitutional Convention. The district
officers were also nominated at this
meeting. Chairman John j. Owen
presided. Mr.. W. II. Ewing, county
treasurer, made very impressive talk
on the prominent questions to come
before the Constitutional Convention
r. w. Price stated that as none of
the prospective candidates for the con-
vention had expressed their views, he
thought it would be unwise for any
particular candidate to be endorsed at
this meeting and made a motion to
elect John J. Owen and A. A. Haskins
delegates for the Farmville Convention,
and that they go uninstructed, which
motion was carried.
Senator Watkins, G. ). Wing, Judge
II. w. Flournoy, and DR.. Richard
McIlwaine each had friends in the
meeting.
The following district officers were
nominated: For Supervisor, Mr.. A. A.
Haskins, of Meherrin. For Justices Of

W. Price, and Captain 7. 7. Pettus.
For Constable, Mr. Samuel Pollard.

Editor Herdid.-The many friends
of DR.. Geo. b. Steel desire that his
claims for a nomination TO the Lieuten-
ant Goverlorship, should be entertain
ed, and favorably considered by the
convention soon to meet.
DR.. Steel has long and faithfully
served the Democratic party, both a.
private citizen and as representative Of
the city of Richmond in our State Lee
gislature, and his knowledge Of parlia-
mentary law and usage, his skill and
tact in presiding over assemblys Of
men. and the fidelity with which he
has discharged every trust aud duty
heretofore committed To him, COM
mend him TO the earnest and favorable
consideration of our nominating con-
ventiOn. 1t would appear eminently
fit and proper that the coordinate de-
partment Of our Stale government
should be united, and held together by
"liuk of Steel" and the Senate Of
Virginia could have no presiding officer
more capable, courteous and accom-
plished, than the gentleman whose
name heads this communication.

 The sheet was not noticed by the au- thorities at Washington, the story goes, and it is further reported that it was sent ia the ordinary course of business to Brooklyn, where it was placed on sale. A manufacturing firm bought ten of the stamps and wrote to the de- pertinent at Washington complaining of them, using one of the very stamps In transmitting it's letter of protest.
 Thus the fact came out and an enter prising philatelist at Washington at once set about trying to secure as many of them as possible. He secur- ed four by paying a Brooklyn man S2O each for them. A stamp firm here is said to have secured two more of the stamps.

SENTIMENT REGARDING KOREA
Russia Has Lost in Prestige Since the
 Backdown.


 Backdown.
 Yokohama, April 24.-Since the back down of Russia by which she has lost immensely in her prestige, in the Orient, matters have resumed their normal course. though Japanese dis trust of the Northern power still re- mains in as full force as ever and the nation does not in the least relax it's vigilance. None save those who have long resided in Japan can form any conception of the strength of the na- tional sentiment regarding Korea. The people have been taught for centuries that the destinies of the two countries are indissolubly united and the con- viction of this is not only in cradle able, but has become part and parcel of the patriotic enthusiasm which is the nations life. Moreover the tide of emigration has flowed in large volume to this peninsula which is recognized as the only field, in view of the grow ling restrictions upon the influx of Asi- atics ill the west. Japan now has q population of forty millions upon a surface less than that of the Atlantic States of America and, it being a mass of mountains, only one-twelfth of the sol is arable. Korea, therefore be- comes an absolute necessity in the near future as field for emigration, apart from the fact that it's possession by Russia would be recognized as a mortal menace to the island empire. It may therefore be readily imagined that the nations patience is liable at any moment to be exhausted by Rus sia's diplomatic policy.
 The official census of foreigners in this department made last month shows very large increase in the American population as also in the German contingent. plainly indicating that the British preponderance in the foreign business of the country will soon become thing of the past.
