COUNTY COURT
Important Land Case
Decided.

J. II. Stuart, OF the County Court Of
Tazewell county, designated to sit in the
recent term Of the County Court OF

having adjourned court. Judge Stuart
over ruled the motion of G. w. Teabault
and others for tax deed covering about

timber land In Buchanan, known as
"The Pearson Survey" This land,
which now belongs to the heirs of the
late Gen Benjamin F. Butler, OF Massa
chusetts. has been returned DELINQUENT
for taxes for a great many years and
the amount due Is now over sec. 600.
90. The applicants sometime since
filed an application under what is
known as the LAND Grabbers Act" to
purchase same, but Judge Beavers, Of
the County Court Of Buchanan being
an interested party could not sit in the
case, and hence another Judge was
designated by the Governor of Virginia.
Judge Stuart overruled the motion on
the ground that the applicants had not
fully complied with the statutes. The
applicants have applied to the Judge
OF the Circuit Court OF Buchanan coun-
ty for writ OF mandamus to compel the
Clerk Of the Circuit Court Of Buchanan
county to make tax deed 1t is gener-
ally believed, although the lower courts
have refused a tax deed that Mr..
Teabault will finally win the case ON
the ground that they have complied
with the law.

Concessions.
AGREEMENT PROBABLE
Report Current That Dis
pute May Be Referred to
Hague Tribunal.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE Russo-Jap-
anese situation is taking on a more
peaceful aspect this morning. Neither
country Is anxious to begin hostilities
Both are now showing more complai-
sance. and a satisfactory arrangement
may follow.
1t is now thought possible that the
outcome of the negotiations at Tokyo
will be the recognition by Japan that
Russia has paramount rights in Man
churia. in exchange for the Cars ac-
acknowledgement that Korea should be
considered within the japanese sphere
OF influence.
England and France Active.
If such an agreement is formed IT
would blot out the Japanese-Russian
war cloud and put both countries on
q friendly footing. There is little doubt
that England and France are bringing
influences to bear on their respective
allies TO prevent war.
The most satisfactory sign of peace
ss the changed attitude Of the japanese
and Russian press. which is preaching
concord. The talk in diplomatic circles
is decidedly more optimistic than 1t has
been for some days past.
The Hague May Decide
An interesting report was current in
diplomatic circles today, which received
general credence. II was that n sug-
gestion had been mace taht the dispute
be referred to The Hague arbitration
tribunal. II was said that the Car
had readily agreed, but that ne was
overruled by the military party in st.

held the idea of joining Manchuria 20
her possessions. The paper adds:
THE handing over of these territories

plished, and II the Chinese government
does not yet control the whole ground
in Manchuria, with the exception Of
that covered by the Chinese eastern
railway, that is doubtless due TO the
fact that the necessity has arisen for
