MRS. JOHN WRITES OF
 GULF STATES MAGAZINE.

An interesting letter from Mrs Sam uel w John regarding the Gulf States magazine has been received by this de- partment. Mrs. John writes:
 Apropos all thoughtful and intelligent southerners exclaim after reading that forceful comment in Sundays Age-Her- aid upon the Gulf States Historical mag azine. has 1t not often occurred to both readers and students that the south SUD- ports and looks to the north for litera- ture? Is this because there is a de- ficiency of brain in the southland? Has the Creator through partiality, endowed his children of the north with greater talent, more zeal, more appreciation, leaving this glorious land to be inhabited by only weddings and imitators? Not so. He gave just as much talent to the people of these sunny slopes, hills and shadowy dales. Why has there been no more development, no more extension of these gifts? The answer comes from the disasters and oppression of war. We have arisen through force from these calamities, and now resting in compara- tive prosperity. Why not come forth and demonstrate to the world and tour brother" our power of pen and innate love of high literature2
 We have had evidence from the lives of our great soldiers, statesman and writ CTS that they are the peers of any in the world. and now in the Gulf States His torical magazine are contributions of many of our brainiest writers. Why could not the south support this first magazine as solidly as a "Stonewalr' of old gave service to our country? Have we a man or woman who breaths from a soul, not dead, who would be callous to this call?
 After we are called to another sphere or labor, our children would rise up to call us blessed" because of this stim- ulous to know, to act, to love, to live the life of calm heights and breath of vision.

JAPAN SENDS VESSEL.
Minister Buck Informs Department of
 Marcus Island Confiscation.

Washington, July 2S.--A cablegram re- ceived at the state department today from United States Minister Buck at Tol1io, says that the Japanese minister of foreign affairs informed him that a Japanese naval vessel would leave Iyester- day for Marcus Island. The purpose of her going is not to make trouble. but to prevent it. An official of the foreign of fee was to go on the vessel, and would carry letter to Captain Rosehill. cabed from the state. department here to Min ister Buck, advising the captain not to make any disturbance or to resort to vio- lence to obtain possession of the island, with possible loss of life or involving international complications
 If the captain would observe this ad- vice, the department said, for its part it would endeavor to settle the claim to Marcus Island automatically. Captain Rosehill Is reported to have sailed from Honolulu for Marcus Island in schoon- CT July II, and it is, therefore, probable that he already is at Marcus Island or very near there. The letter may come into his hands too late to avert trouble, but the repartment officials are hoping for the best

 der Sentence, Disappear.

 Searching parties sent out in every di- rection have secured the woods and rav- ines but have failed to secure a clew
 Whether the guard has deserted with his prisoners or whether the sentry was overpowered by his charges and lies in some deserted part, gagged and bound, or perhaps murdered, is a matter of con- lecture, although the trustworthiness of the soldier is ground for belief that an encounter occurred.

His letter of withdrawal, made public
yesterday, is as follows:
LINDEN, MD, Oct. 9, 1902.
To the Voters of the Sixth COngresSiOf-
al District of Maryland:
Some weeks ago several cOlOred men
OF Washington came to me and requested
that l allow the use of my name as an
independent candidate for Congress in
the Sixth District They stated to me
that party had been formed in Wash
lngtOn which had for its object the bet
terment of the colored people, and that
| should run on that platform While l
had always been a loyal Republican, I
was and am anxious to do anything [
can to better my race, and with that d.
sire | listened 30 the statements of these
men. After several weeks of travelling
around and canvaSsing the sentiment of
the colored voters of the Sixth District.
and particularly of Montgomery County,
| have become convinced that it would
be a great wrong to the cOlOred people
to run an Independent COlOred candidat :
for Congress from this district [ have
found that the colored people are, almost
to man, in favor of the reelection of
Mr.. George A. Pearre. the nominee of
the Republican party. They believe him
to be their friend, as his father was be-
fore him, and they will not support any
movement which might imperil his
chances of success.
81 therefore feel it my duty to an
nOunCe that | am not candidate and
will not be a candidate AGAINST Colonel
Pearre in the Sixth District, but that
shall do all I can to secure his election
by an increased majority.
very respectfully,
HENRY NEWMAN.
