Toxic, March S.-The Marquis Ito is
gong to Korea on a special mission for
the Emperor, but the purpose of the trip
is not understood here by those outside
of high official circles. The Marquis Ito
will carry an autograph letter from the
M;kado to the Emperor of Korea. He
will depart on the 18th instant and will
be absent about three weeks. Count
Tsusuko, Secretary of the Privy Council,
Lieutenant General Hasgawa, Admiral
Sakamoto and Viscount Higashizo will ae-
company the Marquis.
Toxic, March S.-The Forthcoming visit
of Marquis Ito as special ambassador from
the Emperor of Japan to the Emperor of
Korea claims general attention. IL was
originally planned to send prominent
Japanese to Seoul as a permanent resi-
dent adviser to the Korean government
and various names were suggested. The
announcement that Marquis Ito is going
IS a surprise. In official circles it Is in
sisted that the object of Marquis lto's

IN charge of the Impeachment proceedings
against Judge Charles Swayne, of Flor
ida, today heard the Judge in his own be-
half. He specifically denied the charge
that he was not resident of the district
in which he held court and stated that
the charges against him were caused by
the personal animosity of the persons
making the same.
After considering the matter the COM
mittee decided to hear the argument
against Judge Swayne today and listen to
the defendants s argument next Tuesday.
Judge b. S. Liddon, representing the
prosecution, summed up his conclusions
based on the testimony taken by the com
mittee on its recent trip to Florida, and
found Judge Swayne guilty, in his opin-
ion, of all the charges made. He declared
that Judge Swayne had only acquired a
residence in Florida since the charges
were filed.

Japan Denies Charges by Russia.

Washington, March S.--The japanese
Minister today gave out the text of his
governments S reply to the recent Russian
note alleging Japanese violation of inter
national law and of Korean neutrality.
Regarding the landing of troops in Korea
the Japanese note says the government
admits that Japanese troops landed in
Korea before declaration of war was
issued, but not before state of war ac-
tually existed between Japan and Russia
The maintenance of the independence and
integrity of Korea is one of the objects
cf the war and the dispatch which had
the distinct consent Of the Korean gov
ernment.'
The note denies that the Japanese stop
ped the delivery of cables to Korea prior
to the naval battle at at'Chemulpo, and de-
clares that Korea having given her con-
sent to the landing of troops at Chemulpo,
the harbor thereby ceased to be neutral.
Japan denies that the japanese notified
the Emperor of Korea that Korea would
hereafter be under japanese administra-
ton

Japan May Seek a War Loan.
(By the Associated Press.) }

Toxic, March S.-The Japanese govern
ment, it is said, is considering the advisa-
bility of seeking to secure an immediate
loan in America and Europe. Although
it is estimated that enough bonds can be
sold at Rome to provide sufficient money
to prosecute the war for at least one
year and half, and although many Japa-
nese statesmen and f1nanciers believe that
Japan is capable of waging war to a con-
clusion without borrowing single cent
abroad, and have, in a spirit of national
pride, counselled that no foreign loan be
sought, yet it is felt that there may arise
III year or two contingency when mon
ey may be seriously needed.
1t is thought that it would be better
to place loan now if possible rather
than attempt to do so in a future crisis
when money NAL be badly needed.

With pitchfork in hand, negro is re-

miles of Raleigh, who met the attack
with bullet, that crashed into the ne

1t was Mr.. Marcus Edwards. about
twenty years old, son Of Mr.. ]. It. Ed
wards, one of the best and most apromi-
rent farmers of this county, who feeling
that his life was in danger, fired the shot
into the brain of Solomon Smith, advanc-

The shot from the pistol in young Ed

wound, which was the lsize Of a little
finger. The negro fell to the ground, his
p:tchfork falling beside him. His wound
is serious and he was not expected TO live
through last night.
There was but one witness to the af-
fair and this was Mr.. D. M. Edwards,
an older brother of Marcus Edwards. He
called to the negro advancing on his
brother and cautioned him to stop, but
was not needed and the shot came.
The affair took place about three miles
from Raleigh on the Durham road, at the
place known as the Davis place, beyond
ttthe country place of DR.. R. H. Lewis. The
negro Smith was tenant on the place
which was in charge of young Edwards
and the encounter is reported to have sub
stantlally occurred as follows:
Marcus Edwards had started to the
barn TO get his horse, and the negro adj
vanced to the >barn door, pitchfork in
hand. Some previous conduct of Smith s
had been noticed by Edwards who when
he saw the negro called to him not to
advance. The negro came on and was
again warned. When he was in about

his pistol and fired The negro fell, Sc
