UNCLE SAM IN THE ORIENT.
He is Pressing for Trade Advantages
With China and Korea.
(By the Associated Press. }

Washington, Dec. 26.-The situation n
the East has caused the officials OF the
State Department to renew their efforts
TO secure for the United States from China
and Korea certain necessary trade adj
vantages as embodied in the Chinese com
mercial treaty and in Minister Aliens
demands upon the Korean &C. ernment, be-
fore the crisis becomes more acute. 1t
is realized that should nostilitIes break
out between Russia and Japan, the re-
sulting peace treaty probably would leave
the United States and other neutral ma
tions entirely outside of the pale of ad
vantage in Korea and Manchuria, no mat
ter which way the tide OF victory turned.
Therefore the State Department is bring
ing pressure to bear upon the Chinese
court to insure the speedy ratification
of the tade treaty and, as other nations
have indirectly been given to understand
in this negotion, it is hoped that final
Publications of the treaty may be ex-
changed in Washington within three
months, at the outside. This will result
in the opening to the United States the
trade of the ports of Antung, and Mouk-
den in Manchuria Across the river from
Antung in Korean territory, lies Wiju
and the State Department has prompted
Mr.. Allen at Seoul to renew his pressure
upon the Korean government to secure
the opening of that port to trade.

SHERIFF OF NERVE
He Defies and Threatens
Mob and Saves His
Prisoner.
(By the Associated Press.l

Barlow, Fla. Dec. 26.-Night before
last, shortly after dark, about twenty
or thirty men, armed to the teeth,
marched into this city and for time it
was thought that the crowd would make
a determined effort to get Berry Henry,
the negro who is in Jail, supposed to be
the one wanted for shooting Colonel and
Mrs. John Beatty Thursday morning. But
for the logged determination of Sheriff
lilly, it is more than likely that they
would have made raid on the jail With
guns pointed at the officers they told him
to get out of the way and let them have
the negro; but he very coolly told them
that II they advanced closer they would
do so at their own peril
The mob finally dispersed, being as
sured that the negro would be taken be-
fore Colonel Beatty for Identification at
the earliest possible moment. Henry was
spirited to Tampa last night, the sheriff
fearing another attempt to lynch him.
Officers drove to Pridgen with the negro,
where they boarded train for Tampa
Mrs. Beatty is not considered out of
danger. The attending physician reports
that her skull was fractured in one place
1t is not at all certain that she will re-
cover. Colonel Beatty's wound was
slight.

STRUCK BY PROV
THE K|OWA SANK
Rammed by the Steamer
Admiral Dewey.
ALL HANDS ARE SAVED
Through the Clouds of Mist and Snow
the Two Vessels Suddenly
Loomed on Each Other,
Too Late to Change
Their Course.
(By the Associated Press.)

Boston, Mass, Dec. 26.-In a binding
storm, which swept Boston harbor this
afternoon the new Clyde Line steamer
Kiowa, inward bound from Jacksonville,
Fla, and Charleston, S. c., was rammed
and sunk by the steamer Admiral Dewey,
of the United Fruit Company, outward
bound, for Port Antonio, Jamaica and
Port Limon, Costa RIGA
Captain Chichester and the entire crew
of the Kiowa, numbering thirty men,
were rescued by tug. The Admiral Dewey
sustained practically no damage and after
laying-to for the purpose of rendering
possible assistance, she proceeded on her
voyage.
With several passengers and a big gen.
eral freight cargo, the Admiral Dewey
sailed from this city shortly after IL
O'Clock. Owing to the driving snow storm.
the Admiral Dewey was making her way
out at slow speed A few miles beyond
Boston Light, the Kiowa appeared
through the clouds of mist and snow, di-
rectly ahead. Before the course could
be shifted the steamers collided. The Adj
miral Dewey struck the Kiowa powerful
blow on the port side just abaft the main
rigging, the sharp prov of the fruiterer
cutting in for a considerable distance
The damaged craft Immediately began
to fill. The city of Boston's tug Cormor-
ant, which was passing, ran alongside the
Kiowa and took off her captain and crew
This was most difficult task, owing to
the heavy sea, and in attempting to jump
from their vessel to the tug, some OF the
Kiowa's men fell into the water. They
were rescued by the Cormorant's men and
all hands were brought to this city. The
Kiowa sank shortly after the accident.
She had a big cargo of lumber, cotton,
naval stores, iron and general merchan-
disc
The Kiowa was the latest addition to
the Clyde Line fleet, having been built at
Philadelphia early in the present year.
She was a steel two masted, three decked
vessel, 800 feet long with twenty-five feet
depth of hold, net tonnage 1884 tons and
gross tonnage 2,949.

Greensboro, N. c.. Dec. 26.-Game
Warden Weatherly returned last night
from Winston, where he had been to
prosecute a warrant sworn out against
Henry d. Shut, junk dealer there, for
violating the game laws by shipping
cartridges out of the State. The trial re-
suited in the binding over to court of the
defendant in a bond of a hundred dollars
Packages of birds, in barrels mixed with
rabbits have been confiscated here several
times, sent from Winston to a Richmond
firm, without the name of the shipper
Weatheriy, who is also a good detective,
even without that setter dog, traced the
tahsmanic initials on the packages to the
junk dealer at Winston. He finally hit
upon a barrel at his place of business just
ready for shipment. He made an ex-
animation and found seventy-one part

only seventy-one in the lot. Shuts negro

Especial to News and Observer.)


Suffolk, Va, Dee 26.-As the outcome
of a family vendetta, Robert Lolly, q
years old, is dying at his home, near Wig
gins Cross Roads, N. c., of gun shot
wounds inflicted by his wife's brother, Len
Wright, aged % years, who sent the death
charge through a window as his victim
slept in the bed chamber The family
feeling was revived Christmas eve, when
the men met and had Slight difficulty
but parted seemingly good friends.
Early yesterday morning, Wright stole
I'D to Lolly's home and fired twice
through the window. The charges took
effect in the upper thigh, which was torn
into shreds Besides the shot wounds
there are imbedded in the flesh many
pieces OF shattered glass. News from the
scene this evening says Lolly must die.
The identity of the assassin was learned,
because Wright, after firing, went to the
bedside, thinking Lolly was dead.
When word of the crime spread through
the neighborhood, Justice Reverdy John
son. Constable George FOLSOM and Zeb
Cross, went to arrest Wright.
To save their brother from prison. four
of Wright's sisters set upon the officers,
who were BADLY scratched and bruised.
Much of Cross's clothing was torn off.
Only one officer was armed, and he fired
twice. Wright escaped during the melee
and the officers retired much worsted.
Tonight posse is organizing to invade
the Wright home. The father of the ac-
cused will be arrested as an accomplice.
The. older Wright confesses to have ac-
companied his son on the murderous expe-
dition, but says his mission was to deter
rather than abet his purpose.

London, Dec. 26.-Japan is negotiating
for the purchase of two Chilean warships
the armored cruiser Esmeralda and an
other, probably the battleship Captain
Pratt, which are for sale. 1t is now only
a matter of price. Negotiations with
other South American governments for
the purchase Of warships are also in
progress.
Baon Hayashi, the japanese minister
to Great Britain, said to representa-
tive of the Associated Press today, rela-
tive to these negotiations:
I'VE want more ships. OF course this
is only a precautionary measure and il
may be lot of expense all for nothing.
II have no indication of the nature of
the Russia reply. Personally, / scarcely
expect 1t will be delivered for some lit
tie time.
There is no truth whatsoever in the
report that Japan's last note stipulated
a time limit"

OF December "a, saying the British gov
eminent had represented to the Car
that Great Britain deemed Japan's de-
mands Just and earnestly expected that
Russia would grant them" Baron Hayashi
while he was not aware of the precise
action taken by Great Britain at ST.
Petersburg, said:
"The British government is we'll aware
that Japan will be obliged to go to war
unless Russia modif1es the position she
has taken up in her last note"

quiet. There is not man in the lookup
this morning, and yesterday morning there
were only six, who had been placed there
for protection only from themselves and
were turned out at sunrise to seek more
egg-nog if they needed it. There was not
saloon open in all the city yesterday or
last night The saloon keepers agreed
among themselves, just as they did
Thanksgiving day, to close, and the agree
ment was kept to the letter. Christmas
eve night the city was one long loud
continuous bedlam of sound. made by the
young men dragging cow bells, ETC., but
there was no bad behavior from any
source Last night, the COW bell crowd
took a little the advantage of the per-
mission to shoot fire crackers, and some
got to firing toy pistols or something of
that nature, in front of Vests candy en-
porium, the latter leading in the fun. The
policemen gave the members of the party
personal warning to desist, but it had no
effect, and resulted in Mr.. West and ten
others being arrested; they gave bond for
their appearance before the mayor.
