CANINE WAS LOADED
Dog Frlghtens Master by Pick
ing Up Dynamite Cartridge.

RALEIGH, N. c., June 1T. M.
Pearsall, private secretary to Gov. Ay-
cock, who has just returned from the
northwestern part of the state, where
he was sent to inspect the Wilkesboro-
Jefferson turnpike, one of the finest
highways in the United States, tells
renee during his trip.
Mr.. Robertson, editor of the Wilkes
boro Hustler, owned half grown set
ter dog, which he, WAS training to re-
trieve. The dog was very fond of
bringing objects from the water. His
owner was on the bank at a deep pool
when some men came up, and one OF
them threw dynamite cartridge into
the pool in order to kill the fish.
As the cartridge was thrown the dog
dashed after it, and to the horror of the
editor, it came out with the cartridge
in his mouth, the fuse being tolerably
long. The men fed and so did the
owner of the dog, the dog following the
latter. et
Frightened almost to death, the
editor rushed toward a deep ditch,
fortunately quite wide, and leaped
across this, continuing to run for fully
half a mile.
At the moment the dog reached the
bank of the ditch the cartridge ex-

MEDIATION REPORT RUBBISH"

LONDON, June 1.-RumorS of medI-
alton in the Russo-Japanese war
caused a rise of u per cent in consols
and a general upward tendency on the
London market this afternoon, but the
rumors have found no confirmation in
diplomatic quarters. The foreign Of
flee characterizes the report that me-
diation is pending in the immediate fu-
ture as rubbish" Baron Hayashi,
who as Japans senior minister and far
most powerful representative abroad,
would be the first to hear of any such
move, says:
Not a whisper of mediation has
reached me. For US to stay our hands
at this moment would be senseless fol-
Iy. Russia appears to be in a serious
the field to cope with our various
points of attack If she sends in the
achievements that Gen. Kuropatkin
so much needs she cannot feed them.
II do not credit the rumOr in Rome
of Gen. Kuropatkin's defeat, although
during the next few days news of a
battle may come at any moment. 1t
seems evident that Kuropatkin intends
to fight at Lao Yang. I believe he
has decided to do this not SO much
from a military point of view as be-
cause of the pressure from the court
and political circles at St. Petersburg.
About a month is likely to elapSe be-
fore any determined assault can be
made on Port Arthur"
