The whites Are Charged with the
Murder of Sheriff..
Charlotte. N. c.. Sept. 12.-The TAX
ing of testimony in the case of Thomas
and Chal White, charged with the mur-
der Of Russell Sheriff., was completed
in the Superior Court at Salisbury to-
day and argument begun
The case, owing to the prominence of
the parties concerned and the some
what unusual circumstances involved,
has attracted considerable attention
The testimony developed was to the
effect that, hearing that young Sheriff.
was responsible for the ruin OF their
niece, whose father was dead, the
White brothers, who lived at Concord,
went to Sherrill's house in Rowan
county, shortly after daybreak and
called him out on the front piazza
His mother was present, but went in-
side when they said they wanted to
see her son privately.
A short time afterward Sheriff. was
shot twice, each of the Whites dis
charging his postol Sheriff. was un-
armed. The state contends that Sher-.
rill denied the charge and declined to
keep an alleged promise to marry the
Whites niece, and as result the men
put him to death.
The defense is that Sheriff. became
enraged and was advancing upon one
of the brothers in a threatening attitude
when both opened fire. one in self
defense and the other to save his
brother
A number of leading lawyers are en-
gagged on both sides, among them
United States Senator Overman and
Congressman Kluttz for the defense,
and Capt. r.. b. Glenn, Democratic
candidate for Governor, who is of coun-
sci for the prosecution.
The case will likely go to the Jury
tomorrow.

New York GOvernorship.
Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 12.-The many
conferences here to-day among politi-
cal leaders caused numberless rumors
and increased the general interest in
the political situation, but tonight the
question of the Republican nomination
for the governorship remains unsettled
and until that is settled there can be
no decision upon the nominations for
lieutenant governor and attorney gem
eral by the state convention, which
meets Wednesday.
At a late hour both Gov. Odell and
Senator Platt said that nothing would
be settled tonight. They had a num-
Der Of conferences during the day and
said that comparatively early to-mor-
row they would meet again and COM
pare notes, with the expectation of a
complete understanding and agree
ment.
One of the interesting features of the
day has, been the fact that the final
arblters between the divided interests
involved in the nomination for gov
ernor were Gov. Odell and Senator
Platt.
In the general discussion former
Lieut. Gov. Woodruff and Lieut. Gov
Higgins were most talked of and in the
afternoon Superintendent of Insurance
Francis Hendricks of Syracuse, began
to be mentioned as a compromise can
didate, though, Mr.. Hendricks himself
declares that he is not a candidate.
There has been some mention also Of
the name OF Collector of the Port
Stranahan OF New York, but Mr..
Stranahan refused TO take IL seriously.
The programme for tomorrow includes
a large general conference. whose real
purpose will be TO ratify the agreement
which is expected to be arrived at be-
tween Gov. Odell and Senator Platt-

Washington, Sept. 12.-The expected
protest of Japan against allowing the
Russian auxiliary cruiser Lena, which
arrived at San Francisco yesterday, to
remain longer than twenty-four hours
came to-day when the Japanese con-
sui in that city, through the collector
of customs, made formal demand that
the vessel be required to leave at the
end of that time.
The collectors telegram officially no.
tifying the authorities of the arrival Of
the Lena and of Japan's protest was
addressed to the Secretary of the
Treasury, who at once sent copies to
acting Secretary of State Adee, and
acting Secretary Murray, of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor, who
has direct jurisdiction in the matter.
The telegram reads as follows:

sui and the commander of the Lena.

COURT TAXES TIME 10 DECIDE

In the supreme court, last week, three
days Were given 10 arguing technical
points in the republican fractional dis
turbance. The boilers, or Cook ticket
adherents, asked the court to restrain
the secretary of state from placing She
names of the regular republican ticket
headed by Governor La Toilette under
the republican designation on the Ans
tralian ballot. When simmered down
to fine point their contention il that
the court shall declare the late national
committee (stulfed and prejudiced by
Babcock, Spooner and other bolters)
the superior authority, and its dictation
shall override a specific state law di-
recting the secretary of state how and
when he shall make up the ticket
The jumpers have nothing to stand up-
on except this contention. What a rid
iculous proposition A political COM
mittee that has no Jurisdiction in the
state asks Wisconsin republicans to per-
NIT it to make its nominationsl If il
can do that it certainly can extend the
rule and make our county and city nom
nations, and political conventions ana
primary election laws would be of no
avail. No sane man believes that the
supreme court will entertain any such
nonsense. The court will present it's
findings next Tuesday, the 9th.
