naturally. When Mr.. Stephenson came the
man gave him note from a citizen OF
, Raleigh, stating that he had given the
man lodging for the night, and requested
Mr.. Stephenson to help him in any way
he could. Then the man again demanded
money, declaring that Mr. Stephenson was
not Christian; the Associated Charities
was not a Christian institution, and that
the money was the Lords, and he had
right to have it. He refused to go when
told opened Bible, said he was q soldier
of the cross. and denounced Mr.. Stephen
son and the association. Finally Mr..
Stephenson 'phoned for the police, and
Knight left at once Chief of Police Null
Inns responded to the call and gave chase.
He found Knight in front of the Park
Hotel and discovered that he was man

A THOUSAND HEARD.
Rev. R. ]. Bateman and
Splendid Song Service
at Tabernacle.

Between nine hundred and a thousand
people heard the eloquent address of Rev
r. J. Bateman to the Baptist Young Peo-
| pies Union at the Tabernacle Baptist
church on Sunday afternoon.
His subject was, what If Christ Came
| to Raleigh?' and it was sermon that
| was heard with the greatest interest Be-
sides this the music was extraordinarily
good. A solo, Beyond the Stars There is
Rest" was beautifully rendered by Mrs.
Horace R. Dowell, who also effectively
rendered lone Sweetly Solemn Thought"
AS the accompaniment to these the music
was from the Italian Harp, by Mr.. W.
Furman Belts, and the mandolins of the
Messrs. Dowell.
After stating that the idea of Christ
coming again" was not speculative, but
founded on the word. Mr.. Bateman said
that if Christ came to Raleigh he would
come Just as he lived for the Angel had
said "Tn like manner shall He return a
promise that brings cheer to the heart
The preacher declared that the thought
of his future coming should net let us

Toxic Jan. 25.-Takashma, the Japa-
nese interpreter for the Russian attache,
was arrested on Saturday last on the sus-
picion of acting as a spy in the Yokosu-
ka fortified zone. He has been taken to
Yokohama for trial It is alleged that
conclusive evidence has been obtained re-
garding other suspects, which is causing
a very strong feeling against such treach-
cry, which is a capital offense in Japan.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 25.-The exchange
of communications between the Foreign
Office, the members of the committee of
the Far East, Viceroy Alexieff and Baron
De Rosen, the Russian Minister at Toxic
is still going on. There is no official in
dication of when conclusion will be
reached but diplomat who is close to
such negotiations, expresses the opinion
that the Russian reply possibly will be
ready this week.
An authoritative denial is given of the
report that Russia ever contemplated re-
questing the United States to explain the
attitude attributed to the United States
Paris, Jan. 25-Considerable tension is
again observable in governmental quar-
tiers concerning the Russo-Japanese sit
uation. This is due principally to the
fact that the efforts toward a pacific ad-
justment have not made the progress
which the officials hoped and expected.
The general view of those highest in au-
thority is summed up in the statement
that the negotiations have reached a
| point where practically no progress is oc-
curing in any direction. 1t appears that
one OF the most difficult features is the
mutual distrust and hatred which have
grown UP between the parties. 1t is said
that every stage of the present exchanges
develops Japan's suspicion OF Russia s
good faith and RUssia's antipathy to ia
pan. Owing to this bitterness diplomatic
efforts to secure a middle ground are
proving unusually difficult. 1t is under
stood that Russia is now seeking to Sc
cure the naturalization of the strait Of
Korea The strait of Korea Is claimed
to be vital outlet for the commerce of
Northeast China, and it is therefore as
serted that it would be in the interestC
Of Europe and America to secure the
naturalization of the strait.
The attitude of Korea in the event of
cSNiA
the subject of much comment among the
diplomats here, and it is believed Korea
giving aid to Japan might constitute two
powers attacking Russia, thus bringing in
France under the terms of the Franco
Russian agreement One OF the ambas-
sailors therefore asked Foreign Minister
Delcasse what the result would be II
Korea joined Japan and the minister an
swered in substance that Korea is not
considered to be that kind of sover-
eign. independent power, whose assistance
of Japan against Russia would bring
about the contingency contemplated by
the Franco Russian agreement. Although
the answer was confined to Korea, 1T Is
understood that a similar view prevails
that Chinas joining Japan would not
constitute two powers attacking Rus
