1t is learned on trustworthy author

Der of the International Commission
of Inquiry into the North Sea Affair,
and that Count Cassini, the Russian
Ambassador, will call on Secretary
Hay tomorrow to make the request in

Their asserted that, while the Russian
Government cannot officially request
the designation of Admiral George
Dewey, it will intimate that he would
be very acceptable.
The designation of the member of
the commission will be left TO the
President, and there is no doubt that
he will appoint Admiral Dewey.
The action of Russia inviting the
United States to appoint commission
er is highly gratifying to this govern
ment, and an evidence that the rigidly
neutral attitude maintained by the
United States in the Russo japanese
war is appreciated by the Russian
Government. The State Department

YOUNG MEMS CAREER.
The Success of Two Annapolis
Boys Who Are Away
From Home.

In the Huntington CIV. Va Dis
patch of last week there is much OF
interest TO AnnapoIitans. 1t has 60
do TO a considerable degree. with hthe
success of two we'll known Annapolis
young men who are rapidly making a
name for themselves.
The Dispatch issued an Industrial
edition which sets forth the great
growth of the town of Williamson in
Mingo county, w. Va. This is typi-
cal mining and numbering town on
the famous Tug river and here it Is
that J. Randall Strange, son of Mr..
John +. Strange, and George Parlett.
son of Mr.. David o. Parlett, have
come to be we'll identified with the
civic and business life. Mr.. Strange
is the chief clerk of Mr.. Henry Mace
Payne. civil and consulting engineer,
with whom he has been associated for
the past year and half.
Mr. Strange is the right hand man
of Mr.. Payne, who has the name OF
being the most expert engineer in
Mingo county. Mr.. Parlett is also
connected with Mr.. Payne, being
identified with the engineering
corps, which is locating and survey
ing large tracts of coal and timber
land. As stated in the industrial edi-
tion of the Dispatch, Mingo is a
young mans town by reason of the
fact that so many young men are
identified with its most important
works. There are many splendid
openings for young blood, and push
and energy is appreciated. The por-
traits of both young men are shown
to very good advantage in the Dis
patch.
