oect to continue In business. They also
expect to eliminate certain features of
their business quietly and in business
like way. without publicity. dropping
these features at such intervals as shall
from time to time suit their purpose for
do;ng so. They expect to continue to deal
in large measure with their customers in
Virginia and the Carolinas and other sec
tions. and to retain the patronage Of the
trade on such lines as they are handling.
and which they will in future make spe-
cial features of their business
The report that the firm would probably
retire from business seems to have had
its origin in misunderstanding of some
of the employees Of the company. who were
told to look for other positions.

MARCUS ISLAND TITLE
Japanese Naval Vessel Will Sail to Pre-
vent Trouble There.
nv Associated PresS)

WASHINGTON, July 2s.-A cablegTans
received at the State Department from
United States Minister Buck, at Toxic.
states that the japanese Minister OF
Foreign Affairs has informed him that
japanese naval vessel would leave yester-
day for Marcus Island. The purpose
Of her going. is not to make trouble put
to prevent it.
An official of the Foreign Office was to
go on the vessel and he would carry
a letter to Captain Rosehill, cabled from
the State Department here, to Minister
Buck. advising the captain not to make
any disturbance, or TO resort to violence
to obtain possession of the island. with
possible loss Of life. and involving inter-
national complications. If the captain
would observe this advice the department
for its part would endeavor to see settled
the deficient claim to Marcus Island di-
ploma tically.
Captain Roshill is. reported to have sail
ed from Honolulu for Marcus Island in a
schooner July 18th. and it is therefore
probable that he already is al Marcus
Island, or very near there. In that
case it may be the letter will come into
his hands too late to avoid trouble, but
the department officials are hoping for the
best.
