BRITISH BARK GOES ASHORE.
BY a Shift in the Wind She is Blown
Off the Shore.
(By the Associated Press.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 11.--In the heavy
fog which hung over the Virginia and
Carolina coast this morning the big Brit
ish bark Glenclova, with a crew of TWEEN
ty-seven men, loaded with nitrate from
Tatal to Baltimore, ran upon Pebble
Sboal. two miles east of the False Cape
Life Saving Station. The dense weather
made it difficult to distinguish the rig of
the vessel and for some time it was
thought to be schooner. The False
Cape Life Savers went to the rescue but
the crew of the ship, which was not in
apparent danger refused to leave their
vessel. Assistance from Norfolk was tele-
graphed for at once, as an increase IN
the wind would have jeopardized the craft.
Suddenly the wind shifted and the result
was that the stranded bark was off the
sboal and into deep water. She proceeds
to her destination without apparent dam
age.

Would Back Her in Her
ManChurian Claims.
ANGRY WITH JAPAN
France Holds That the Mongo!ians are
Not Willing to Give and Take.
London Hears That Russia
Has Yielded Practically
Nothing to Japan.
(By the Associated Press.)

Paris, Jan. ia strong current of Off
cial sentiment was set in motion today
favorable to strengthening the hand of
Russia in her claims to exercise para
mount influence in Manchuria. 1t is
pointed out that Russia, having conceded
Japan's paramount influence In Korea,
Japan appears to be unwilling to make
reciprocal concession by recognizing Rus
sia's paramount influence in Manchuria.
There is reason to believe that the late
Russian note makes clear Russias attl-
tude and intentions concerning Manchuria,
and how far she is disposed to recognize
japanese ambitions in Manchuria. The
general purport of the Russian position is
that Japanese merchants and individuals
shall have the right of free access to
Manchuria for purposes Of travel and
commerce, but that Russia does not wish
this to be extended to the colonization of
japanese in large communities in Man
churia.
Strong sympathy is expressed here IN
behalf of the Russian view., as it IS said
that the general admss of japanese
colonization in Manchuria would create
questions of political and racial domina-
ton.
1t is asserted to be in the interest of
the commerce of Europe and America
that Russia should replace China's au-
thority within Manchuria 1t is maintain
ed in governmental quarters that it is to
the general interest of Europe and
America to give moral support to set
tlement fthe pending conflict on the
basis of Japan's authority in Korea and
Russia's authority in Manchuria. Those
who are in the best position to know
Russia's intentions, say her determination
to exercise her sphere of influence in
Manchuria is irrevocable.
Owing to Russa's latest attitude in
Manchuria it is the view Of official cir
cles here that the main issue of the ne
gotiations now centers on Manchurla in
stead of Korea.

FOR SELLING WHISKEY.
Bound Over Under Act Making Place
of Delivery Place of Sale.


Durham, ~ c., Jan. 11.-Criminal court
was to have convened here this morning,
but Judge Charles NJ. Cooke, of Louis
burg, who is to hold the court, suffering
from rheumatism, could not get here to-
day. He will reach here, however, in
time for court tomorrow.
There are even fifty cases on docket up
to this time. The most important of these
is the case against John Parker, charged
with criminally assaulting small negro
girl, twice convicted and sentenced to die,
and twice sent back for new trial by the
Supreme court There is a sentiment
among a great many people to accept a
plea of assault with intent to commit
rape and sentence him to the pententiary
for some fifteen or twenty years.
In the mayors court ais morning
John G. Patterson, a prominent saloon
man of RoXboro, who was formerly in
business here, was bound over to court
in two cases for selling whiskey here.
He was arrested under the new anti-jug
law, CHAPTER 349 of the late laws, which
makes the place of delivery the place of
sale In addition to this he is charged
with taking the orders and money in per
son and then shipping whiskey here, this,
the officers claim being sale of whiskey
under the Watts Law
BY Messrs Winston and Bryant,
defendants counsel. contention was
set uD that that mere decla-
ration OF the Legislature, that the place
of delivery is the place of sale does not
make a sale. Again the attorneys for
the defense contended that chapter $40 of
the new laws applies only to the counties
named in the caption, Cleveland, Cabar-
rus, Mitchell and CASTOR. The interests
Of the State were looked after by City
Attorney H. A. Foushee, who contended
that the law was clear and that taking
either phase of the case Mr.. Patterson
was guilty.
After hearing the evidence Mayor Free
land sent Mr.. Patterson up to court under
800 bond in each case, there being two
against him. The matter will be tested
the Supreme court.
L. j. Kirkland, dealer in dry goods and
notions, made an assignment this morn
ing, naming w. W. Mason as assignee.
The assets and liabilities are not known
at this time. 1t is said that dull times
and his inability TO collect what is due
him forced him to the wall. This makes
four small failures here during the past
few months.
The Norfolk and Western railroad filed
a large mortgage here this morning, it
being one Of the series of MORTGAGES made
for the purpose of securing rolling stock.
The paper has some twelve or fifteen
thousand words ard is for the purpose of
securing twenty-six freight engines.

Joint. Mr. Capers was to have preachd
the first of a series of sermons on "The
Creed yesterday morning, and even after
the hand had been dressed insisted that
he was able to enter the pulpit. but the
physician thought that owing to the
severe shock caused by the accident. it
would not be safe for Mr.. Capers to de-
liver his sermon and told the patient that
he must not attempt 1t.

Russia to Respect Their Rights.
(By the Associated Press.)

Berlin, Jan. 1.-THE Russian govern
ment has informed the powers that it will
respect the rights any nation has in Man
churia under treaty. with China. This
declaration is made without reservation.
Russia gives formal expression to this
policy now in consequence of the con-
troversy with Japan, one of whose per
sistent contentious has been for defini-
tion of Russia's policy in Manchuria and
an acknowledgment of Japan's trade
privileges. Russa's reply has been, IN
substance, as follows:
eve cannot discuss Manchuria with
any more than we could Australia or the
Philippines. Manchuria belongs neither
neither to US. nor to you. It does not
lie within the jurisdiction of either of us
to dispose OF the future of Manchuria"
Russia however is willing to observe
the treaty rights of all the powers in
Manchuria and now engages TO do so.
Russia, it is added thus removes from
the negotiations one of the points upon
which Japan counted for the moral sup
port Of other powers and whereon she
especially had the sympathy of the United
States and Great Britain.
