WANT PEACE IN CHINA.
Russia and United States I'm Accord
on Matter.

A dispatch from ST. Petersburg yesterday
SAYS: Referring to the Washington advices
to the effect that the United States is dis
posed to exercise its good offices with the
view of bringing about the settlement of
the Chinese question, the Novoe Vremya,
probably inspired, emphasizes the frequent
accord between the United States and Rus
sid, whose declarations from the beginning
and common action in Withdrawing their
troops show that they are pursuing the
same aims"
The paper continues: ITO avoid sowing
discord among the diplomats, Russia did
not then raise the question whether further
operations were necessary.
The Novoe Vremya concludes its state
nents. automatically yet suggestively say
ing:
Now however. as the note has been rati-
fed the conditions have so completely
changed that should the United States make
the friendly proposals suggested. We would
not. probably. be wrong if we supported
them"
While the diplomatic feeling has not been
IT. terrupted and the above question has not
been formally discussed between the two
cabinets, it is known here that Russia is
earnestly opposed to further military opera
tons in China
LONDON, January 13.-The Pekin cores
pendent of the Daily Mail, writing Thurs

and established Fairfax G. II. there.
: Meanwhile Alexandria city had, In 1ls'',
built brick court house on Cameron street
near Royal, upon arches above the BUTCH
ers' market of the town, and fifteen years
thereafter q Masonic hall was built ad JONI
ing upon similar arches This court house,
at which Gen. Washington cast his last
vote in 1899, was used by the District of
Columbia courts, and Chief Justice Cranch
and Justices Thurston, Morsell, Mason and
others held court there until about 1of0,
when the court house which is illustrated
in this article was built by the United
States government and used by the court
of the District of Columbia until 1917,
and then by the state courts until 1873,
and in that year the circuit and cor
poration courts of the city removed to the
present city court house at the Market
Square. The courts of Alexandria county
CO ntinued to occupy the old District of Co
lumbia court house until few years ago,
when a county court house was built at
Fort Myer Heights. and the judicial func-
tons of the county authorities removed
there.
Since then. with the exception of the polls
for the election at one of the districts of
the third ward of Alexandria. and an oc-
casional tnird-ward meeting, the old court
house has subserved no public function. and
it will probably soon pass away and its
material will be used for other purposes.

dispatch to the New York Tribune from
Meeker, Col, yesterday says The latest
report from the keystone ranch. where the
Roosevelt party is quartered. indicates that
the New York ex-governor has had one ex-
nerience that is entirely new to him, and
may induce him to turn his attention to
wolves in revenge for being freed by a
pack of them. He is credited with killing
several, but owing to the loss of his rifle
was compelled to sit on limb and use his
revolver for several hours while the raven
Gus animals were ieaping around the tree
In Wild effort to reach him.
Colonel Roosevelt had gone out by, him
self yesterday afternoon and lost his way
yhen he heard the howl of a wolf. He
pressed ON In the direction of the ranch, as
he thought, but was soon surrounded by
wolves and began shooting. Night was so
near that he could not see his sights. and
he only succeeded In wounding two or three
wolves, which made them more savage,
while the smell Of blood Infatuated the
others He made for a tree when the an
i.nals closed IN on him. but dropped his
rifle while climbing. and barely escaped the
laws OF the foremost wolf as he pulled
himself up to safe place on the limb.
Although he had only a few revolver car
tridges he killed two wolves and wounded
Others before he was rescued from his an-
comfortable plight. Colonel Roosevelt was

The jury took fourteen ballots. and after

filed into the court room. The prisoners
appeared very nervous. McAlister seemed
more excited than any of the others. He
sat biting his lips while waiting. Camp
bell thrust his hands into his trousers
pockets. and clinched his fists in them.
Death looked anxiously about the court
room for a moment, and then assumed the
same attitude as Campbell

Judge Dixon thanked the jury, and said
he believed the verdict a just one. He

WEB. DAVIS.

That Colorado man who has sued
Webster Davis for three thousand dol
lars for collecting soldiers for the Boer
army claims that he rendered these
services while Webster was still assist
ant secretary of state. After this Mr.
Davis made his visit to South Africa
was entertained by the English in Cape
Colony, and was apparently on the
most friendly terms with them 1t was
not until he visited the Transvaa1 and
saw the prominent men of the Trans
vaal republic that he came out openly
for the Beers. There is evidence of
dup1icity all through the actions of Mr..
Davis He betrayed a trust while oc-
cupying prominent official position,
if the allegations of the Colorado ora
tor are true, he sold himself for money
if other allegations pretty we'll sub
stantiated be correct, and he tried to
beat the man out of his commission
who had acted as his tool. Certainly
Mr. Davis does not stand before the
country in a very pleasant position
1t is to be hoped that the investigation
will be very thorough There can be
no politics in the matter now, and the
investigation can be made in an un-
prejudiced manner. 1t is to be re-
membered that in Kansas City, where
Webster Davis is best known, there is
hardly any one who believes In his
sincerity or honesty in the matter OF
the Transvaa1 troubles. We do not
know Of a single paper in his home
town that stands up for him The story
that he shot holes through his own hat,
during the A P. A. excitment, and
then tried to make people believe that
he was the victim of a Catholic plot, Is
hardly disputed out there He loves
money better than anything else unless
it be the applause of the public He
has great oratorica1 gifts after gush-
ing sort of a style, but he has abused
them. His grand stand play in the
Kansas City convention was a failure
for the reason that the Democrats who
app1auded him for abandoning the Re
publican party had no faith at all IN
his sincerity They were well aware of
the fact that he had tried to get Boer
resolution through the Philadelphia
convention, and that, had he succeeded
in this. he would have been one of the
strongest of Mckinley shouters- One
of the great feats accomplished by the
Republican party this year was getting
rid of such men as Webster Davis. One
of the miSfortuneS of the Democracy
was in falling heir to such men--Ex

THE GOLD STANDARD.

We are thoroughly in accord with
those Republican papers that in
sisting that congress should proceed
to place the gold standard beyond the
peradventure of a doubt. The Repub
1ican party has been entrusted with
that duty, it has made the promise, and
that promise must be made good. Of
course there will be the usual cry in
regard to the impolfcy of tinkering
with the currency. That is to be ex-
pected. But there can be no bad re-
suits from rivet1ng firmly what has
already been agreed on. There is no
doubt that at the beginning of the
campaign great majority of the peo-
pie of the United States were firmly
convinced that the gold standard was
safe. That was the original opinion
even of Secretary Gage The dec1ara-
tions of the Democratic platform, that
would have been Of no meaning had
this been the case, first directed public
attention to the loop-holes in the cur
rency law; the measure was examined
through the financial microscope, and
it was discovered that it was not SO

concurrent action by congress, the

the declaration of Mr. Bryan, made
four years go and not disputed by him
in the late campaign, that he would do
all in his power, if elected, to destroy
the gold standard, was sincere, and
while this led to many people voting
for him who might under other cir
cumstances have voted against him,
and thereby helped the Republican
candidate it is something that should
