DANGER IN THE FAR EAST
JAPAN,s UNEASINESs CONFIRM ED BY BRITISH GOVERNMENT.
EugIand wiiIing to Como to an Agree. ment but Russia Has Given No Inti- nation of what She Expects-Csrtain Element Out of Which an Agreement Should be Reached. ..
should be Reached.

London, July 23.-Lord cranborne, under secretary for foreign affairs, during debate in the house of com mons to-day said that the Russian gov ernment knew perfectly we'll that Eng land would be delighted to come to an agreement regarding Manchuria but there were difficulties. He doubted whether the Russian government was so homogeneous despotism as might be supposed from her past history. There seemed to be at least two par ties in the government with whom he was obliged to deal and England had never received an intimation of what Russia expected.
 Our ally, Japan" he said, lis be- coming uneasy at the prolongation of the occupation of Manchuria and we are equally anxious for some kind of a settlement. There are certain ele- ments out of which an agreement ought to be possible and if Russia is prepared to give due weight to our treaty rights and commercial interests she will not find us irreconcilable to compromise. 7 IilG CIlIlElSlllf VI AtiAC SONSIlllllGllt lOl eign policy continued at the evening session. Joseph Walton, a liberal, who strongly favors an extension of British trade by means of colonial develop- ment, accused the government of a suc- cession Of humiliating surrenders in. China. He said the time had arrived for facing the situation in Manchuria and New Chwaflg. The under foreign secretary, Lord Cranorne, in reply, said that British trade in China was still increasing at a satisfactory rate and he was confident of securing a full share of railway and other valuable concessions. The government, he said, was fully aware of the position of Man churia. The great difficulty up to the present time in negotiating with Russia was that Great Britain had never yet been able to ascertain exactly what the Russian government wanted and the fact remained that Manchuria was still occupied. Russia's failure to fulfill her undertaking. he said, was satisfactory neither to Great Britain, Japan or the United States.
 Besides aIluding to the czar as despot, Lord Cranborne made an indis-s erect reference to France and John Redmond tried to make it appear that the British government had suffered q rebuff in it's representations to France in behalf of the expelled monks. In replying, Lord Cranborne said that he was not surprised at MT. Redmond's remarks and that he must agree with him in deploring what had occurred, Such measure as the Associations < law, law, he said, could never have been passed in England and we cannot but. be surprised. if one may say so of a great neighboring nation, that France should think it necessary to introduce such a law
 Lord Cranborne's remarks were the subject of special comment because of the presence in London of the French arbitrationists.

PROMOTES WORLDS PEACE.
Visit of French Lsgtslators to Great
 Britain.

London, July 23.--It is understood that the probable result of the visit of the French legislators to London will be the formation of Franco British arbl- tration agreement independent of The Hague court. It is believed the ueca- sion is ripe for such a step. Baron |d'Estournelles de Constant said to-day that the suggestion would receive the hearty support Of the French parlia- ment.
 The idea has been discussed and we'll received at Westminster
 Lord Cranbourne in the house of lords this afternoon, incidentally referred to the presence of the French delegation in London as. an important event which argued well for the peace of the world.

 It would be unsafe, however, to infer from to-day's performance that the old

 Detroit, July 2S.--John Taylor. the gray gelding that ran away after an accident in the third heat of the Mer- chants and Manufacturers s1O,00o stake yesterday at Crosse Pointe and then won the fourth in impressive fashion this afternoon won the fifth heat and the race from Wainscott. the heavily played favorite. They were the only two horses in the heat. Taylor brought s100 and Wainscott S80 before the heat this afternoon, which was the first on to-day's card, The horses were away on the third score to a perfect start. Taylor had the pole and at the first turn was a half length in the lead. The gray steadily increased the dis tance until at the half mile he was more than a length to the good. At the turn into the stretch Wainscott made great effort but did not have the speed and the race was John Tay- lor's by length. The winner was greeted with great enthusiasm and decorated with a floral saddle. John Taylor is owned by John Merrill of Lockhaven, Pa. It is said that MT. Merrill was offered s1o,0Oo for the horse this afternoon and refused it. Tn the unfinished 2:10 trot Dan T. won the deciding heat this afternoon and gave Monte Carlo a decided beat- ing.
 Billy Buck was favorite at $50 with the field ss5 for the 2:l2 tfot and he justified his choice by winning both heats without trouble. Hawthorne broke in the stretch in both heats while challenging Billy Buck
 Dr. Madara at $50 with the field at S20 won the 2:17 pace in straight heats, having all the speed of the race. Joe Pointer opened favorite for the 2:09 race, bringing s25 with the field s20. In the first heat McClary made furious drive down the stretch with him but failed to catch Winfield Stratton, who won by head. Tn the second heat Stratton won as he pleased Sadie Baron was never in danger in either heat of the 2:19 pace, which was the last on the card.

industrial pursuits, it is too well known
and too keenly felt when realized.
Another strong reason for organization
is that we produce in a small area of
country a certain kind of tobacco that no
other section can produce, it has been
tested and has failed everywhere. An all
wise providence gave us this as our herit.
age and it is but just to share in its bless.
ings and leave no barrier to our coming
generations to enjoy its great benefits.
At the same time l would not reach out to
wreck the plug and smoking tobacco ma.
chimes that has cultivated this taste for
our product.
I believe those who say that the farmers
can manufacture and make the output OF
their goods are in great error Some are
advocating joining hands with the labor
organizations of the world and seeking an
outlet for the product through these chan
nels. OF all the rocky roads you could
travel that would be the worst. I have
talked with many of the most intelligent
leaf men in the tobacco world today, and
they say a plan on this line have sug-
gested is practicable and fair to all sides.
The only thing l have ever heard is
that the farmer can not be organized. 1t
does seem to me that in this day, of ad-
vancement when. in a few months time
every market in the territory could be
put in touch by telephone, there should be
no reason why they should not be or
gained.
have stood between the farmer and
manufacturer for twenty-seven years as a
mutual servant and have endeavored to
preserve peace and harmony between them
and have tried to serve each intelligently
and justly and as an humble servant of
these elements. l would, to both, arrange
a settlement of your differences on plan
that is fair to all.
Yours truly,

WILL. HEAR COMPLAINT

The County Commissioners will meet to-
day to give a hearing to those who COM
plain that the assessors have rated then
property in Raleigh too high. We do not
believe any public officials in Raleigh have
ever performed their duty more conscien
tiously than the board of tax assessors III
this township. This does not mean that
they have made no mistakes. The board
will hear the compliments and pass upon
each case separately, according to Its
merits. Every piece of property should
be assessed at its true value in money
The board will follow the law. If any
property has been assessed too high, it
should be reduced; if any assessment Is
too low, it should be raised.
