SENATOR HANNA DEAD.

Senator Mark Hanna, of Ohio, died
in Washington Monday evaning at
6 40 after two weeks illness with
typhoid fever. He was the vital power
of the Republican party in this corn-
try. Although he was not known in
the political world ten years ago, he
was recognized at the time of his death
as the king of political organizers. He
came into prominence as the friend Ct
William Mckinley. Through his in
fluence Mr.. Mckinley was nominated
and elected president, and Mr.. Hanna's
political star had been steadily rising
ever since. Had he lived and kept his
health, there is a strong probability
that he would have been nominated
for president by the Republican party
He was a man OF great power and bis
partyis loss In his death Is we'll nigh
lrreparable.

WHY JAPAN WENT TO WAR.

Following is statement mad~ by
the Japanese minister in Washington
why Japan went to war:
cit being indispensable to the vel
fare and safety of Japan to maintain
the independence and integrity OF Ko-
rea and to safeguard her paramount In
terests therein, the japanese govern
ment finds it impossible to view: with
indifference any action endangering
the position of Korea. Russia, not
withstanding her solemn treaty with
China and her repeated assurances to
the powers, continues in occupation OF
Manchuria and has even taken aggres-
sive measures on Korean territory.
Should Manchuria be annexed to Rus
Ella the Independence OF Korea would
naturally be imposeible."
Here follow the provisions OF the
agreement which japan proposed which
led to negotiations between the two Ma
lions. They are:
! l. A mutual engagement to respect
the independence and territorial integ-
rlty OF China end Korea.
2. A mutual engagement to main
tain the principle of equal opportunity
for the commerce and industry OF all
nations in those countries.
8. Reciprocal recognition of Japan 9
preponderating interests in Korea and
of Russia's special interests In railway
enterprise in Manchuria and mutual
recognition of the right OF Japan and
Russia, respectively, to take measures
for the protection of the above men
toned interests in so far as such meas
ures did not violate the principle enun.
ciated in article l.
4. Recognition by Russia OF the ex
elusive right of Japan to give advice
and assistance to Korea in the Interest
of reform and good government.
5. An or gagement on the part OF
Russia not to impede the eventual ex'
tension of the: Korean railway to south
ern Manchuria so as to connect east
hina with Shanhaikwan New
Chwang.
Ruesia's reply requested Japan t.
declare Manchuria out of its sphere
and proposed to restrict Japan's Iiber
ty of action in Korea in many ways
Japan refused to yield the Manchurial
concessions, and feeling that it hat
Exercised the utmost degree OF pa
thence, reluctantly abandoned all hop
of reconciliation and was forced t.
break off negotiations.

The first number OF "THE TwEK11-

tions out. 1t is designed to demon
strate what true twentieth century
home can and ought to be. It is to be
an Instructor in household affairs, and
the initial number we'll illustrates this

sizes in this number of Edward Everett

AN OIL MILL.

There ought to be cotton seed oil
mill for every thousand bales Of cotton.
DR.. r. II. Speight.
Such was the opinion expressed by
DR.. r. II. Speight in Farmers Insti-
tute in Tarboro a few days ago.
DR.. Speight Is one of the foremost
and best informed citizens of Edge.
comte county, and what he says on a
subject on which he is so we'll posted
ought to have much weig 1t with those
who do not know so we'll.
The COMMONWEALTH has from time
to time urged the people of Scotland
Neck to establish cotton seed OF
mill. DR.. Speight has had experience
and observation in Edgecombe county
where there are several oil mills, and
he is correct in urging the farmers tc
manufacture their products as far al
they can.
There is no better opening for a cot
ton seed oil mill than Scotland Neck
and 1t Is strange, indeed, that some en-
terprislng men do not put one into op
Grafton. Let us have one in time t.
utilize the cotton seed OF this year,

Cotton is the chief money croI
here now at prices from to Is cents fol

here some years ago at prices from j t.
7 cents, and 1t will continue to be tn,

REPRESENTATIVES, AND THEIR
TERMS.

Charlotte Observer.
It feems that our North Carolina
people are learning something OF the
importance of keeping in congress rep
resentatives who show themselves cap
able of doing something for their con-
stituents. 1t has been too much the
custom to pass these positions around
as rewards of alleged "party service" or
for geographical reasons. It has
been said, "a has had his share and
B has made lot of speeches-now B
ought to be paid :" or, "the Cherokee
eend OF the deestrict has had the con-
gresham long enough; it ought to
come to the Currituck eend." The
theory is thoroughly perniclous. A
congressman should be chosen with
reference to his capabllity, his ability
to accomplish practical results and his
representative views. II he fail, he
should be bowed out; if he measure
up. he should be retained-not for his
own sake but tor that of the public,
just as hired servant ia discharged OF
kept according to his merit.
| The subject is suggested by the state
ment of The Gazette Messenger, oil
Washington, Beaufort county, that
Hon. John III. Small, who is serving
bis third term as the representative oil
the first district of this State, will be
re-nomlnated this year without opposi-
ton. This is because he is answering
the purposes for which he was first
sent to congress. Within the past
three weeks Hon. Theodore F. Klnttz
the representative of the eighth dis
trict, has given out that he will not b(
a candidate for reelection. He hal
made so excellent representative ant
} has so commended himself to his peo
pie that, if he had kept silent, he woult
have been 70 nominated without oppo
sition and reelected easily. He vii
retire tor reasons of his own, and tina
ls his business, though his district viii
be sorry, and with good reason, to par
with him. His case and that of MI
Small illustrate the point we are driv
ing at-our people are learning some
thing about the true relation between
their congressman and themselves.

THE VAR.

Russia and Japan are in active war
but it is hard to keep any connected
story Of the conflict. Several Russian
war vessels have been disabled, and
one report said that 1900 Japs had
been killed.
Korea will probably be the seat of
war. The aciiye engagements thus
far have been around Port Arthur.
The Russian fleet is said to be bottled
up there ike the Spanish fleet was at
Santiago during our late war with
Spain.
The latest news says that 600 Rus
sian soldiers were frozen to death while
marching across lake Baikal in Eastern
Siberia, end that perhaps part OF an
other detachment of troops were lost in
a snow storm.
The Korean government has given
Japan the right to traverse the coun-
try. There Is rumor that the Japanese
warships have trapped trhee Russian
vessels at Yapgampo. There is con.
firmed report that the Russian cruise,
Boyarln was blown up last Saturday
and that all officers and the crew con
slsting of 1877 were lost.
The charges against the Russians o.
cruelty toward the japanese are revolt
ing. An associated press dispatch from
Toxic dated February 10th, says tha
thirteen women residing at Harbi1
started south on February 9th with 3O'
companions. They we're ordered b,
Russian soldiers to leave the train an,
were cruelty abused by the soldiers
and were detained, while the men wer
allowed to proceed to Port Arthur
The women were sent to Shan-Hai
Kwan where they were protected b,
