Toxic. October 26.-Baron De Rosen,
the Russian minister and Foreign Minis
ter Komura resumed their conferences to-
day. The Japanese cabinet also held
another session.
Premier Katsura, in an interview today,
said he deeply regretted the sensational
reports circulated in Europe, which, he ad'
ded, were unfounded.
Referring to the diplomatic situation the
Premier remarked:
"The japanese government pursues Its
negotiations in strict accordance with the
spirit of the Angil-Japanese alliance,
which aims at the preservation of peace
and the status quo. 1t is only fair to pre-
sumo that Russia is actuated by the same
peaceful spirit in which the dual alliance
is extended in the Far East. l, therefore,
fail to see why the present negotiations
should not lead to mutually satisfactory
results. In any case, nothing in the pre-
sent situation warrants any alarm"
TO PRESS FOR CONCLUSION.
Yokohama, Japan, October 26.-lt is
reported that the result of the elderstates'
mems conference on Saturday last was to
confn intention to press Russia for
definite conclusion of the negotiations.
The Corean government has protested
against the Russian fortifcation OF Yon'
campo on the Yalu river.
NO NECESSITY FOR INSURANCE.
London, October 26.-In connection
with the insurances against war risks on
shipments of Welsh coal to Port Arthur
for Russia, telegram was received In
London today from St. Petersburg, saying
there is no further necessity to insure
against war.
This is construed as forecastng a favor
able outcome of the negotiations between
Russia and Japan.

HEARST BOOM CAUSES UNEAsINESs
Feeling of Apprehension Among Demo
Gratis in Congress Who Don't Want
New Yorker Nominated

Washington, oct. GA feeling of un-
certainty bordering on apprehension, is
developing among certain Dem ocrats in
congress regarding tie activity Of William
K Hearst, the New York congressman, in
bis campaign for the next Democratic
presidential nomination,
This sentiment exists among members
of the senate and house who may be
classed as the conservatives and who here
tofore have come out in statements that
they favor the nomination of man like
Senator Arthur p. German, of Maryland,
or Judge Alton B. Parker, Of New York,
or Richard Olney, of Massachusetts.
1t was learned from prominent Demo
cratic member of the house that recently
Mr.. Hearst placed himself in commune
cation with practically every Democratic
party worker in the United States. In
one instance he has written to every mem-
ber of the state and county Democratic
committees and has even consulted with
many precinct leaders. Mr.. Hearst has
also written to every Democratic eleciiye
officer of che several states. In each COM
munication Mr.. Hearst gives hs ideas OF
Democratic doctrine, and asks the receipt
ents of the letter just what ne may expect
IN the way of support for the nominaton.
For almost year Mr.. Hearst has man
tanned press bureau here. His ageu~
produce Washington correspondence ( r
publication, which, it is said, goes weekly
to the public through the channel of q.
least 900 daily and weekly newspapers
The letter is furnished these newspape'a
without cost and ostensibly is a proIu5t
conveying the news Of the week from the
national capital, but in reality it Hearst
boomer, and each letter contains some
thing complimentary to the New York
representative aid urging his cause.
Mr., Hearst has also organized "Hearst
clubs" in many cities.

THE SEARCH
FOR WENTZ
Continues and is now Being Carried to
biz Cities.
WEIRD OFFER Is MADE
Fortune Teller is Offered AS Means TO Solve
the Mysterious Disappearance of the
Young man.

Philadelphia, Oct. 26.-Sdil searching
the mountains of Virginia for some trace
of Edward L. Wentz the hunt is now be-
ing broadened out into the big cities.
The case developed a local end when a
representative of the Virginia Coal and
Iron Company came to Phiad lphia from
Big Stone Gap to investigate several clu' e.
For week man who spoke Englisl.
imperfectly has been calling uD the North
/ American Information Bureau to ask it
there had been any news from the PhlIa'
delpha millionaire's missing son.
Saturday he varied the inquiry by say
ing that be could give some information.
lie met a representative Of the Wenlz
family by appointment, giving his name
as Salim f. Mohaoyig, and his business
address as 1882 Market street.
He is a Syrian, dealer in runs and
long resident of America
Mahaoylg's story was to the effect that,
although he personally knew nothing
about Wentz, he knew a Syrian fortune
teller in this city, who he says, can tell
where the young man is if the Wen'z
family will give lin the name of father
and mother and photograph.
Weird as the offer is, it will be sifted
carefully,
81 believe firmly that Wentz has been
abducted, and is being held for ransom,
said the agent from Big Stone Gap, "lf
our theory is correct, it is more than like
lv that the abductors would make over
lures to US in some such round about way
as this.
"If they had killed young Wentz, they
would have gotten away and never retur-
ned for the body. That is not the way
they do things in the mountains. They
are afraid of corpse, and would never
have KEEP. company with it loIg.
81 believe firmly that Wenlz was kid
mapped. There was more motive for alb
ducton than there was for murder, and
each days developments strengthen my
theory. The hunt will not be abandoned
until something sdefnite is learned"

GOLD STANDARD GOOD FOR CHINA
Commission on international Exchange
Rfports the Success of It's Mission
With the Various European
Powers

Washington, D. c., Oct, 25.-The Com
mission on lternational Exchange, APP
tinted at the request of China and Mexico
t, secure the cooperation of Europe In
maintaining fixed relationship between
the MONEYS of god.standard countries
and those of the silver-using ones, has
made its re port to the State Department.
The work of the commission has been
successful and the result of its consulate n
with the European Powers is thus summed
up:
The representatives If all the Powers
consulted accepted in a general way as
desirable and practicable the suggestion
made by the Commission of the United
States. The plan proposed is similar to
the one recently adopted for the Philip
pines and which has been in use in the
Dutch East Indies for twenty.eight years.
Upon the subject of the introduction OF
a uniform gold standard system into China
there was unanimous agreement that such
a system would be desirable. Upon the
question, however, whether the gold
standard should be established at the be-
ginning or should come after the intro
duction of uniform national currency
upon the silver basis there was some
difference of cpion.
Upon the subject of adopting the re
atively uniform ratio of about 80 to l in
the currency systems to be established IN
the Orient by those countries and de-
Tendencies which are consideringa change
in their existing systems there was agree
ment in all countries except Russia.

The effort to advertise" j. Powell

How many of the good, Christian people
of Tazewell will vote against Powell

have always claimed that they wanted to

The attempt to advertise j. Powell Roy

now regret it, as there was no foundation
for the charges which were made,
We believe the Republican candidates
will sweep Tazewell county. Why
shouldn't they do so? They have a ma

New York, Oct. 26-EIections will be
held in twelve States Tuesday, Nov. 3.
Full State tickets are to be voted for in
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maryland
Ohio, Kentucky, Iowa, and Mississippi,
while in New York, Pennsylvania, Ne
braska, and Colorado justice of the
upper courts, regents of the State Uni
versity, or minor State officers are to be
chosen. Virginia will elect Legislature.
Municipal officials are to be selected in
Greater New York, San Francisco and
Salt Lake.
The Prohibitionists have a ticket in all
the States except Colorado, the Socialists
in all except Nebraska and Colorado, the
Populists IN two States-Iowa and Colo
lado and the Socialist Labor party in
three, New York, Massachusetts and Ohio
Fusion was effected in only one State,
Nebraska, though the Republicans of New
Yolk endorsed the Democratic nominee
for judge of the Court of Appeals.
IN THE EAST.
The most interesting contests in the
East are the State elections in Maryland
and Rhode Island, and the municipal and
county contests in New York city.
In Maryland the offices of Governor,
Comptroller and Attorney General will be
filed. Edwin Warfed, the Democratic
candidate, is fighting the issue with
Stevenson A. Williams the Republican
nominee.
Court of Appeals judge is the only State
office to be voted for in New York. Judge
Dennis O'Brien, Democrat, will have the
race to himself, having been endorsed by
the Republicans, The interest in New
York will center in the municipal and
county contests in Manhattan and Kings
boroughs. Seth Low, the present Mayor,
is the Fusion candidate, and George B.
Mcclellan the Democratic nominee. Ex'
Deputy Police Commissioner Devery is all
independent candidate, and the Pro-
hibitonists and Socialists have also made
nominations. The result will be watched
with interest, owing to the split between
Tammany and Hugh Mclaughlin.
The Brooklyn organization endorsed
Mcclellan but at first refused to include
Grout for Comptroller and fornes for
president of the Board of Aldermen in its
resolutions ratifying the ticket. Subse-
quently, committee appointed by tue
Kings County Committee adopted reso.
luton pledglDg support to Grout and
Fornes. At first it was believed that dugh
Mclaughlin, the veteran leader Of the
Kings Democracy, had approved the
action of the committee of fifteen, but the
following day he made a long statement
in which he declared his continued oppo-
siton to Tammany Hall. The places of
Grout and Fornes on the Fusion ticket
were taken by Hlnrich's and Mcclure,
respectively.

Walter L. Mains unsurpassed three
ring circus, superb menagerie and Roman
hippodrome will be in Tazewell on 31st
October. 1t comes three times as large as
when last seen and with every department
30 strengthened that it leaves no opening
to contradict the fact that it is the largest,
most meritorlous show in the world.
One of the strong features with this show
is the street parade and this should be
seen by all whether they intend to attend
the performance or not. Mr.. Main right
ly believes that circus can be best judged
by its circus paraphenalia and horses ann
that is why he throws himself open to
criticism in the early hours of the day OF
exhibition. This grand street pageant is
over a mile in length and in its many con-
slant changes is decidedly kaleldescopc.
Eight bands of music, steam organs,
chimes, bag.pipers, jubilee singers and
drum corps furnish the music for the long
line of new parade features. Over five
hundred thoroughbred horses, hundreds
of lady and gentlemen riders, scores of
open cages, allegorcal and historical floats
and tableau wagons, soldiers of the world
wild west contingent, congress OF all
nations, funny clowns and large herds Of
elephants, cAmeis, zebras, ostriChes and
buffalo pass 10 rapid review. It's certain
ly sight of life time. Another pleasing
departure is the grand free display of day
light fireworks which is given on the
grounds Immediately after the return OF
the parade. This is something new and
novel and very interesting exhibition.

fact that Mr.. J. Powell Royal, Mr.. Payne''

Republican candidate for the House o
Delegates, recently pleaded guilty to and
was fined upon two charges of assault and

Communicated
TO The News
Referring to the publication in your
issue of last week, Mr.. Royal denies that
he pleaded guilty to or was fined fol
assault.
1t seems that your informant was mis-
informed as to this. y.
Oct. Goth, 1903.
The above communication (No. y from
TX" appeared in the Clinch Valley News
last week. AS soon as it was published
Mr.. Royal went to the publisher of the
News and denounced the statement made
about him in the communication as utter
ly untrue, and asked for the author. He
was given the name of the writer and i'm.
mediately went to see X" who informed
him that Judge j. II. Stuart had given
him the information on which the com.
munication was based. Mr.. Royal told
tx" that he had been msinformed, aud
tx" promised to do Mr.. Royal justice by
making public correction, which is done
by communication No. 2, published above
On Monday morning Mr.. Royal called
on Judge Stuart and he promised to see
*" and have him correct tine statement
which had been published on information
given by Stuart. Whether this was
done we do not know,
In reply to the intimation made by *"
that We were partial or unfair because we
did not "adverlse the fact that Mr.. j.
Powell Royal had recently pleaded guilty
and was fined upon two charges of assault
and battery" we wish to say that we
could not advertise such a "fact," be-
cause such "fact" did not exist. 1t
strikes us that if "X" had been as careful
and impartial as he would lave us to be,
he would not have so readily published as
a "fact" things that were not a matter Of
record. 1t may be that there is some ex-
cuse for the reckless carelessness of IN"
as the information Oh which he based his
communication was furnished by the trial
Judge who empaneled the grand jury that
indicted Payne. This conduct of the trial
Judge strikes us as a little peculiar, in view
of the fact that "X" says, indictments
are easily made, but they are not alwal g
sustained" From what we have heard
the indictments In question we're not easily
made. They may be as difficult to sustain
as they were to be made, but that is a
matter with which we hsye no concern.
