Henry Williams Made a Full Con-

Him to the Scene of His Crime.
Where There IL strong Feeling.
Roanoke, Va, Feb. 12.-Henry Will
liams, colored, who was arrested at
North Fork, Va. Wednesday on sus-
picion of having committed a murder
GUS and outrageous assault on Mrs.
George L. Shields and her 3-year-old
daughter in their home here on Jan.
30, made full confession of the crime
to William F. Baldwin, president of
the Railway Special Agents Associa-
ton Of the United States and Canada,
in the Blueheld, w. Va. Jail to-day.
Williams gave up two watches and
some clothing stolen from the Shields
home. He was placed on a special
train and rushed through to Rich
mond under heavy guard The train
passed Roanoke at o'clock this after
noon, travelling at a speed of forty
miles an hour and Williams will be
placed in the state penitentiary for
safe keeping, the feeling being such
that the authorities are satisfied it
would be unwise to bring him here at
this time.
Williams entered the Shields resi-

POWERS JOIN IN
HAYS DEMANDS
ON BELLIGERENTS

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ito Russia
and Japan, the Washington govern
ment suggests the propriety of limit
ing hostilities within as small an area
as possible and of respecting the neu-
trality and administrative entity of
China, that China may. be free from
disturbances and foreign interests
there from menace"
This is the substance of the note
addressed by Secretary Hay on Feb.
10 to ST. Petersburg and Toxic gov
ernments. On Feb. S, in a note to
Germany. Great Britain and France,
Mr. Hay invited these powers concur
rently to address Russia and Japan
with the same suggestion, and on Feb.
II this invitation was extended to
Italy, Austria Hungary. the Neither
lands, Denmark. Spain and Belgium.
Germany was the first to respond,
with prompt acceptance of the invi-
tation and the promise that she inn
mediately would address the two COM
batants.
Great Britain was heard from next
expressing adherence to the principle
laid down in the note but Withholding
formal acceptance, pending an answer
to an inquiry whether the admins
trative entity" of China involved Man
churia. Japan was heard from quick
iy with the answer that she would act
readily on the suggestions of the
United States if similar promise
could be obtained from Russia.

WOMAN IN TEARS
STOPS MARRIAGE
DRAMATIC SCENE ENACTED.
"THOsE WEDDING BELLS SHALL

Woman Appeared Just as the Mar
riaEe Ceremony of Lawrence S.

OhIsOn of Sweden Was Almost
ConcIuded-It Was Held Up for a
Few Hours-Bride, Deserted, Was
Herself Left i'm Tears.
New Orleans, 81" Feb. IA well
dressed young woman, in tears, dra-
matically stopped the marriage of a
man here, supposed to be Lawrence S.
Sanborn, and said to be a member of
a wealthy family in Boston, to Miss
Geida Gibson of Sweden.
The couple, possessed of a marriage
certificate made out in these names,
went before Judge Downing to be
married. accompanied by witnesses.
The ceremony was performed. and all
the signatures but that of the judge
had been attached to the record, when
a handsome woman, who said she was
Sanborns wife, burst into the office.
She declared she had a marriage GER
tifcate and If given time would prove
TO the court the force of her objec-
tions.
Judge Downing said he would wait
six hours, and the bride, the alleged
wife. and the groom, or husband, went
away together
All were well dressed.
Late in the evening Miss Ohsen, ac-
companied by friend. reappeared in
Judge Downing's court. Miss Ohlsen
was in tears. She said that sanborn

JAPANESE ADVANCING
TOWARDS YALU RIVER.
PLAN Seems to BE to Take the Road
to NIuIkden.

London, Feb. 12.-The Associated
Press understands that the Jap
anese troops are advancing rap
idly towards Yalu river. There, it
is expected they will meet and en-
gage the Russian forces. The Japanese
declare that the numbers of the Rus
sian troops are greatly exaggerated.
The plan of the Japanese appears to
be to take the road which leads al
most straight to Mukden. They profess
to have no doubt that they will be able
to drive back the Russian forces to-
wards Hardin.
Baron Hayashi points out that the
Mukden road though nominally under
Russian military control, will be sub
ject to constant raids from Chinese
bands, who will swoop down from the
hills. Proceeding diagonally, the Jap
anese intend to cut the line of com
munication between Port Arthur, and
the mainland of Manchuria, not only
preventing reinforcements from reach
ing the Port Arthur garrison, but in
flicting damage on the Manchurian
Railroad.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-02-13

Italy, Austro-Hungary and the
Netherlands expressed sympathy with
the idea and promised an answer after
consultation with other Powers. There
Is reason to believe that Spain and
Belgium also will accept the invitation.
Russia thus far has been silent, and
the attitude of France is one of hest
tation.
This is the situation tonight Mean
addressing the combatants with note.
in substance the same as that of Sec
rotary Hay.
Regarding the attitude of Great
Britain, it has been matter of some
regret to the officials here that as the
principle is one for which the British
government has stood in the past so
stalwartly, it should hold up formal
acceptance of the invitation until IL
has learned further details. On the
highest authority it can be stated that
there are no details to the Secretary's
note, as it would be manifestly impos-
sible to hope for concurrent action by
so many Powers upon any but the
most general lines.
That the officials of the Washing
ton government could have had in
mind the neutrality of Manchuria is
declared on the face of it to be alb
surd. Manchuria is recognized by the
| government, with Corea. to be the nat
ural theater of the war, and for this
