New York, March 21.-Under the title
"The War and After" Henry Norman,
M. p. discusses the probable after effect
of the Russian-Japanese war in the forth
coming number of Worlds Work. He
says that it is most important one of the

Korea and Manchuria are subordinate

predominant influence in Pekin, bringing
with it the ultimate domination of the far
east and the headship of all the Asiatic
races
He points out the possibility of general
war in the far east and England's peril

These were Judge Pickering of New
Hampshire, who was impeached for CIV

out taking proper bond after the bark

drunk and using profane language on the
bench.
Judge Chase OF Pennsylvania, was i'm

Judge Peck of Missouri. who was the

Flames of Hostility Visible.

Already the flames of hostility to Eng
land are visible almost everywhere In
Europe. a manifestation which Is not at
all surprising in view of the language
Of so much of the London press. From
the highest to the lowest moderation of
language, respect for the feeling of other
nations, and sense of responsibility ap-
pear to have vanished from many news
paper offices. Denunciation of Russia Is
as extravagant as adulation of Japan
is exaggerated, and both are making
England a host of fresh enemies every
week.
For all this. a day of reckoning will
surely come for the passion reused
against England will have reached its
climax when-if this happens-Russia has
practically evacuated Manchuria and Ja-
pan unable to continue a runous struggle
of indefinite duration requests the powers
to recognize the retrocession of Manchu-
ria to China and to decree the end Of the
war. Then England Is likely to learn the
result of her Asiatic alliance. for 1t Is
the universal conviction that 1t was the
Anglo-J panese treaty which rendered
war in the far east both possible and
probable.

viii Be a Blessing.

I'm conclusion, I will venture upon one
prophecy namely, that the result of this
war will be for Russia a blessing in dis
guise The policy of expansion every
where at any cost and by any method,
whether of arms or of diplomacy to-
gether with it's authors and upholders,
will be discredited. The canker at the
heart of Russia, the corruption of her
bureaucracy, will break out. The states
men who desire to curtail military ex-
penditure and to encourage Russian pro-
duction and commerce will come back to
power. The czar will brush aside oppo-
siton to the ideals of humanity and peace
that he cherishes.'

Special Jury for Williams.

\ special grand jury has been
summoned at Charles Town for
August ,, for the trial of George
W. Williams, the negro who is
charged with making felonius as
Sault on Miss Laura Knoade near
Harper's Ferry some weeks ago.
The reason for summoning the
special grand jury is not known.
Williams is now in the West
Virginia State Prison ut Mounds

keeping after his recent sensational
capture near Big Pool, Md, follow
ing his escape from the officers.
His Identification is now complete.
Feeling against the negro has
subsidized somewhat, and it is not
thought that the course of the law
will be interfered with. The peo-
pie, however, think he should suf-
fer the death penalty, and will be
satisfied with nothing less.

Insanity Experts Attending Court.

Amongst the widely-known and
important attendants upon the
Copenhaver trial here are Doctors
Biackford and DeJarnette. Super
intendent and Assistant Superin-
tendent, respectively, of the Wes-
tern State Hospital for the Insane.
at Staunton, Va.
DIR. Blackford is an elderly man
of mature experience in his pro-
fesSiOn, having been for many
years a practising physician,
which, coupled with an experience
of twelve years as superintendent
of the insane asylum at Staunton,
makes his opinion i'm all cases in
volving insanity very important.
DR. DeJarnette IS younger man
than DR.. Blackford. In his testi-
mony and during his crOsS-exam-
ination last night he impressed all
as a very intelligent and learned
expert. He has been with the
StauntOn Asylum about fifteen
years.
These gentlemen will be impor-
tant witnesses in the Thurman case
which will be tried in Staunton.
This case was touched upon in the
cross-eXamination of DR.. DeJar-
nette by Mr.. Byrd.

stated and described. Mr.. Eugene
Glover, the notary, stated that
when he took Copenhaver's ac-
acknowledgement to the deed and
asked him if he understood it. the
reply was in the affirmative.
The object of this testimony was
evidently to prove that Copen-
haver's own attorneys considered
him sane, else they would not have
secured their fees by the deed of
trust, as the paper would be worth
less if COpenhaver is proven TO be
insane.

Sad Death Of Mr.. John P. Mcdonald.

During the severe wind storm
which passed over this section last
Thursday afternoon, Mr.. John y.
Mcdonald was killed by an i'm
mense barn door falling upon him.
on the COlstOn farm near Summit
Point.
Mr. Mcdonald had been working
in the field with a number of other
employees, but had gone to the
barn to close up on account of the
approaching storm.
After the storm had passed his
body was found lying on a pile Of
rocks with a terrible wound in his
head and his back badly torn. He
only lived about half an hour after
being found, and never regained
consciousness.
1t Is supposed that in trying to
close the heavy doors of the barn
it was lifted from its rollers by the
high wind and that in trying to get
from under the falling door he was
struck in the back and knocked
over the embankment on to the
rocks.
Mr.. Mcdonald is survived by a
widow and nine children. and a
large number of relatives in this
county. of which he was a native.
Last year he had been employed
by Col. j. j. Riley, and was well
liked by all, and was an energetic
and trustworthy man.
The funeral was held Friday
afternoon and interment was i'm
