Orphans Day.

Especial to News and Observer.)
Oxford, n. c., Nov. 11.-Thanksgiv-
ing day is a special donation day to
the orphans homes Of our State and
this is most fitting.
A people greatly blessed of God
desire to make some expression of
their gratitude to Him. They find
no cause more worthy than that Of
the destitute, homeless orphan child
They realize that our orphanages are
performing a necessary, an important
work for childhood and for the world.
These institutions are being greatly
used in the salvation of the children,
in their preparation for useful lives.
Without care and training the lives
of these boys and girls would likely
be given over to evil.
Surely an offering, lovingly made,
to a we'll conducted orphans home
is accepted by God as true thank
offering to Him.
We would that all of our people
and especially our children in the
homes of the State might enter more
and more earnestly and actively into
work for homeless children. The boys
and girls of today will be the ones
who viii, in a few years, carry for
ward this noble work of love.

LOST IN THE DEEP
The Captain, His Wife
asd Two Seamen Kill
ed in Collision.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Nov. 11.-Captain Rob
ert Walton, his wife and two seamen,
lost their lives Wednesday night off

States supply ship Culgoa cut down
the Norfolk lumber schooner Wilson
and Hunting. Four members of the
crew, the mate, whose name is Peter

We're rescued by the Culgoa and were
brought here today.
The accident occurred according to
the survivors, about seven O'Clock in
the evening. The schooner was ten
miles west of lSapnegat tacking off
shore when she was struck by the
Culgoa, which was making for New
York. The steel bow of the supply
ship struck the schooner nearly amid
ship and cut half away, throwing the
smaller vessel on her beam ends.
The Culgoa kept on at full speed
with the intention of keeping the
schooner fastened to it's bow until the
crew could be rescued. The gaping
hole in the side Of the sailing vessel
was so large, however, that it slid Oft
to one side.
A boat from the Culgoa rescued four
men. No others were seen, and it is
thought Captain Walton went below

coats, but the sailors were unable to

(By the Associated Press.)


Mukden, Nov. 10.-Via Tien Tsin,
Nov. 11.-An artillery fire from both
sides is continued at intervals. 1t is
heavier on the Russian right wing,
where all day on November 9th and
also during the night, the Russians
shelled the Japanese positions with
their heavy guns. Neither side on
that date gained any advantage.
As a result of the heavy lombard
ment by the Russians, the Japanese
have withdrawn some of their batter
les from the advanced positions. III
is believed that, not being ready 10
attack, they are moving back to the
hills.
The Russians gained great ad-
vantage when, towards the end OF the
battle on the Shakhe river, they recap
tured Lone Hill, which has since Deen
renamed Poutiloff Hill, in honor OF
the colonel who led the last success
full attack This hill commands q
large part of the plain over when
the Japanese must advance.
The operations are about the same

most of the time, and the frequent
clashes of infantry at night. As has
been the case in most wars, but en-
tirely unexpected in this one, the SOL
diers of the opposing outposts IN close

cigarettes and other luxuries.

Auburn, Cal, Nov. lit is now

their 19-year-old daughter, Bertha,
and their son, Paul, aged IA years
were murdered last night by an un-
known assassin, who set fire to the
home in an effort to cover his crime.
Before the fire had made any great
headway, the bodies of the murdered
woman and her two children were
rescued from the burning house. Mrs.
Weber and her boy were still alive
but died almost as soon as they
reached the air.
An examination of the bodies
showed that Mrs. Weber and the chill
dren had been murdered before the
fire had been started. Mrs. Weber
and her daughter had been killed
by pistol wounds. On the boys head
were several deep cuts. He had also
been shot.
All efforts to reach julius Weber.
the father who was not thought to
be in the burning house, were aban-
doned until today when a search was
made in the burning timbers and the
body was found in the bath room of

The body of Mr.. Weber was so badly
burned that it has been Impossible
to ascertain how often he was shot.
It has been ascertained beyond a
i
one room and their clothing set on
fire, and that they were then dragged
into the apartment where their bodies
were discovered.
One very peculiar circumstance of
the tragedy is that which the bodies
of the mother and daughter were
burned to some extent, the apartment
in which they were lying was not on
fire when the firemen broke in which
showed that they had been killed in
some other portion of the house par

The robbery theory is about eX-

family alive, talks but little but to
the coroner and sheriff he says he
did not think the motive was either
robbery or revenge When asked if

trousers which We're in a bundle in

has good reputation. Two 22-cali-

WORK OF THE NAVY YARDS.
Capps Thinks That Repairing and
Overhauling VIII Give Them
Enough to DO.
lBy the Associated Press. }

Washington, Nov. 11.-Although
recognizing the desirability of having
some of the government yards equip
ped for building naval vessels of the
largest size, Rear Admiral w. l..
CappS, chief constructor of the navy,
in his annual report says that 1.-The
repairing and overhaulding of the fleet
must at all times remain the import
ant wor of the navy yards and in
time of war their resources will be
taxed to the utmost in performing
such wor.'
The navy, he says is increasing so
rapidly that ample work will be pro-
vided for the navy yards by repair
hand refits" alone.
OF the work on the battleship Con-
necticut, building at the New York
despite every effort to reduce the cost
of this, the first battleshiD to be con-
structed in navy yard to the most
economical basis sit can hardly be
hoped that the work will be done as
cheaply as when performed in private
shipbuilding yards, whose rates of pay
for nine hours work are in many cases
less than those being paid for eight
hours work at the navy yard at New
York. 1t may also be noted that
private shipyards do not pay their
per diem employees for holidays or
when on leave whereas very large
proportion of per diem employees on
the Connecticut receive pay for fifteen
days leave and seven public holidays
during the calendar year without any
work being done IN return therefor.

TERMS SUGGESTED
Evacuation of ManChuria
Would Satisfy Japan,
Thinks Hayashi.

London, Now. 1.-THE dispatches
of the Associated Press from Wash
ington confirming the statement made
in these dispatches that Japan had
indicated her willingness to entertain
peace suggestions from President
Roosevelt or King Edward created
much interest here. Baron Hayashi,
the Japanese minister said today;
after the fall of Port Arthur Ja-
pan would, believe, be ready to treat
for peace on no higher essential basis
than that Russia should evacuate
Manchuria. Japan also agreeing to a
similar evacuation. The two great
difficulties in the way of any sugges-
ton of peace are: first, the apparent
opposition of Emperor Nicholas pres
ent advisers to a settlement of any
kind; second, the preservation of Rus
sian prestige When q nations pres
tige is not gone but IS severely inn
paired it is a difficult matter even
with the best ofintentiOns to preserve
it."
The Associated Press learns that
Queen Alexandria has been in con-
wager Empress of Russia and EN-
peror Nicholas himself during the
last few days. 1t is interpreted here
as a hopeful sign and a possibility
likely to lead, though not in the i'm
mediate future, to the establishment
of some modus viveh0i whereby steps
looking to arbitration might be ini-
tiated without offence 10 Russia.
The reiteration of the American
State DEPARTMENT. determination not
to intervene except on requests from
both Of the belligerents tallies with
the official attitude of the British
government, but it is thought that
before long some method may private
ly be devised whereby this diplomatic
barrier to action will be overcome.
