VICTORY FOR PEACE PARTY
Daily Mail So Considers the Appoint
ment of Viceroy Alexief.

London, Aug. 14.-The Daily Mail de-
clares this morning that the appointment
of Vice Admiral Alexieff as viceroy Of the
Anour district and Kwan Tung province is
most important. as 1t indicates the tri-
umph Of M. de White, the Russian finance
minister, and the policy Of peace, over
General Kuropatkin the minister Of war,
and that it Is significant step toward the
settlement Of the existing differences both
with China and Japan.
The Daily Mail says that there has ex-
listed for years a sharp division in the cab
met over the far eastern policy, and tina t
General Kuropatkin and a majority of the
ministers insisted that the actual annexa-
ton Of Manchuria should be secured i'm
mediately at any cost Of money or credit.
On the other hand, M. de Witte steadily
opposed, taking any step to precipitate
hostilties between Russia and any other
power In the east. He Is confident that
time only Is needed to bring about all
that Russia desires in Manchuria and,
as chancellor Of the exchequer, Is anxious
to secure the benefits of annexation at the
least possible cost.

that body say, that unless the superior
court officers were put on salaries
which could not be done, to pay the
city court officers salaries would IN
a large measure defeat the purpose Tor
which the court was established by
lessening its business and largely In
creasing the business and expenses OF
the superior court. Instead OF acOlog
fayorably upon this recommendation
the board adopted a resolution request
ing the county's representative In the
legislature to have passed bill au-
thorizing the commissioners to take
the misdemeanor convicts from both
the superior and city courts ana pay
the officers a reasonable sum for them.
The proposed law is practically the
same as that now in operation In
Spalding county, where convicts have
been worked on public roads for sew
eral wears. 1t authorizes the commits
sinners to pay the officers of the supe-
rior and city courts reasonable COM
pensation, to be fixed by the board,
for the misdemeanor convicts OF the
county.
Under a law of this kind the commits
sioners will have authority to take
the convicts at whatever price they
may see fit to pay the officers, and they
claim that the result will in the end
be more beneficial to the county as
whole than putting the officials on sal
aries.
1t was developed during the discus
sion of this matter before the board
that none of the court officers objected
to being placed upon reasonable SAL
airy, but the board thought they should
take no action which might impair the
usefulness of the court, which is keep
ing the Jail clear and has materially
lessened the court expenses OF the
county.
1t was decided to sell the county
farm at public outcrv on the first
Tuesday in October next, one half to
be paid cash, one fourth in twelve
months and one fourth in two years,
with legal interest.
It was also decided to sell the four
vacant lots on the old court house
square as soon as it is found that there
is demand for them.

MUST CLOSE AT SHUTDOWN.
Veteran Can't Run Pool Table
After Daylight.

When the shades OF evening draw
nigh Mr.. Thomas McCutcheon, an old
confederate veteran, must basket the
ivory balls, rack the cues and close the
doors of his pool room at the corner OF
Main street and Fourth avenue. The
council objects to night hours for the
business.
McCutcheon recently opened pool
room in the building opposite the hotel
and avoided the payment of license for
conducting such business, which is
800 for each table, by reason of the
fact that he is a confederate veteran.
The council decided that the city could
not collect the license, but there is
city ordinance which prohibits pool
rooms opening at night, and McCutch-
con was brought before Mayor Mercer
Monday morning for violating this law.
He was fined 500, but this was RENTED
with the understanding that the pool
room would keep dispensary hours in
the future.

DISTRICT PARSONAGE.
Inn portant Session of Local Meth
odist Held Friday Night.

Tha quarterly conference of the
Dawson Methodist church occurred
Friday night and aside from the rou-
tine affairs which occupied the atten-
ton of the body several important
matters were acted upon.
Among these was the question OF
building district parsonage in Daw-
son for the occupancy of the presiding
elder. 1t was argued that Dawson Is
undeniably the logical place for the
home of this official, being in the CEN
ter of the district and possessing other
adya ntages. A committee was ap
pointed to look into the matter and
determine upon the best way OF pre-
senting the question to the district
conference, which meets in Smithvllle
tomorrow. There is strong probaoll-
ity that the proposition will take def
inite shape soon and that handsome
residence will be erected in Dawson
for the presiding elder.
The following delegates were elected
