has reported that the church is in a

The Humpnrey-GibsOn@ Company
of this city have recently negotiated
the transfer of real estate which
amounts in the aggregate to the
handsome sum of 50, 300. The par
ties to the contract were Mr.. John F.
Switzerland and MIR. l.. w. Hum

legal fraternity of Charlotte. He
sold his desirable farm property in
Fork township to Mr.. Switzerland
for the sum mentioned and took in
exchange city property. There was
four hundred and sixty-fve acres of
the land, which sold for $50 an acre,
and he took in exchange fourteen
houses and lots in this city which are
valued at the full amount of the
land.

RUSSIAN BAEBARITIES,
Japs Charge Inhumanity and AIege
Eleven Counts.

Toxic, July 1.-THE war office has
published a statement from Gen. Oku's
army arraigning Russian conduct in
the field on IL counts. Two for abuse
of the white flag. one for persistent fir
ing on a field hospital conspicuously
flying the Red Cross flag, whereby the
japanese We're compelled to remove the
hospital amid great danger; two for
firing on men of the hospital corps.
though they We're clearly distinguished
by badges: three for stabbing. shooting
and slashing wounded men; two for
shockingly mutlating the dead; one
for stealing cattle, horses and viollt-
ing women. Besides the above, numer-
Gus instances are given in which
wounded Russians fired on Japanese
scouting parties. These charges are
preferred with full details. They re-
late to Oku's army only and are inde-
pendent of the experience of Gen.
Nuroki's army, which have been not
less shocking.
1t was understood that japanese did
rot desire to publish such accusations
because it would tend to embitter fe"l-
ing, but have been compelled to do so
on account Of the Franco Russian story
of japanese OutrageS at Wafangtien.
which are Indignantly denied. The hy
pothesis that the mutilatiOn of the dead
was the work Of Chinese is conclusive
ly dsproved by the fact that cases oc-
CURED when no Chinese We're within
miles. Moreover, all evidence shows the
Chinese treated the Japanese wounded
and dead with the great kindness and
respect.

IN THE RED SEA.
Russian Newspapers Rejoicing Over
Volunteer Steamers Exploits.

st. Petersburg, July 19.-Without dis
cussing in any way the international
questions involved, the newspapers
here are all rejoicing over the exploits
Of the volunteer fleet steamers in the
Red sea. The NOvoe Vremya says the
work they are doing vindicates the wis
dom Of establishing the fleet which was
begun by national subscription when
the country was too impoverished to
build the vessels after the Turko- Rus
sian war. 1t was the pioneer subsidized
line of auxiliary cruisers which most
countries have since initiated.
The Novoe Vremya adds that there
is plenty Of scope for the fleet in Europ-
can, Atlantic and Pacific waters. BY
threatening to deprive the Japanese of
arms and munitions. it can compel the
detachment of part of the Japanese
fleet. This is why the appearance of the
volunteer fleet in the Red sea is hailed
with so much satisfaction.
Besides the Smolensk, ST. Petersburg
and Orel-the latter now being fitted
out as hospital ship-only the Kher-
son, Saratoff and Moskva have speed
of IL to 20 knots. The other II vessels
of the fleet register about 13 knots.
Some Of the recently purchased trans
Atlantic liners might. however, be out
fitted as commerce destroyers and six
weeks ago The Associated Press was
informed that such was the purpose of
the admiralty.

THE BALTIC FLEET.
Japanese Believe Port Arthur Will Fall
Before Arrival.

Toxic, July ia leading japanese
journal declares the advent of the Bal
tic fleet will be welcomed by Japan, as
Port Arthur will certainly fall before it's
arrival, and the fleet, therefore, will
have no base except the icebound port
of Vladivostok. But this journal thinks
it is difficult to see how the fleet can
accomplish the voyage without French
assistance. Japan, while trusting
France, fears the struggle between her
duties as a neutral and her loyalty to
her alliance, may produce complications
involving the extension of the area of
war which would be most regrettable.
A Japanese syndicate having applied
for large privileges of timber telling
reclaiming of land in Corea, there is
much agitation at Seoul, fomented by
ignorant people, who imagine there is
some design against the country's in
tegrity. The household department. in
fluenced by the clamor, has given a re-
buff to Japan by granting a monopoly
of such privileges to a native company
suddenly organized under Lii Pa Chai,
former minister of foreign affairs.
1t grows daily evident that Corea will
be permanently helpless and undevel-
1t is totally denied by military au-
thorities at Toxic that any enga cement

has occurred at Port Arthur, July 10 or
IL. Gen. kuropatkin's plans continue
|perplexing. Indications accumulate
that he intended to make a strong stand
at kaiping, whittier large reinforce
ments were marching, when the pres
sure of the Takushan army toward
Tangichi compelled him to change his
program.
Some accounts now indicate general
Russian withdrawal from Lao Yang.
Others suggest concentration at a point
between kaiping and Tatchekiao.
Meanwhile the headquarters staff at
Toxic maintains an absolute silence.
The rumor that the japanese occupied
Yinguan is premature.
With regard to Gen. Sakharoff's re-
port of the repulse of the Japanese in
an attempt to capture defile near
Saimatse. the Japanese accounts indi-
cate precisely the converse. They state
that on July IA, small force of Rus
slams attacked the Japanese detach-
ment at Hsimatang. which lies on by
road between Tia pass and Henshank-
wan, where a skirmish took place. July
l, and the Russians We're repulsed and
left 10 killed and wounded on the field.
Their apparent purpose was to pene-
trate the Japanese line at a point be-
tween the two Lao Yang roads. This
telegram emanates from Sanhokan,
which a war correspondent evidently
reached. This indicates in Gen. Kuro-
ki's opinion that the Japanese advanced
position are thoroughly secure.

CANNOT BE TAKEN.
One Writer So Affirms Regarding Port
Arthur.

Mukden, July ia letter received
here from Port Arthur shows that the
besieged have implicit confidence in the
ability of Lieut.. Gen. Stoessel to keep
out the Japanese. The writer says:
Lieut.. Gen. Stoessers certainty of
victory has impaired equal confidence
to all the troops and inhabitants. Maj.
Gen. Fock is now engaged in resisting
the pressure of the Japanese at our ad-
vance positions and the siege will drag
on for long time. Gen. Kondratcff is
adding to the Notifications of Port Ar
thur, making them stronger daily. On
hills previously considered impossible
to fortify batteries and entertainments
have now been constructed and guns of
both large and small calibre have been
mounted. The cooperation of the gen
erals has made Port Arthur an mac
cessable fortress"

will probably be considerably. in ex-
cess of Gen. KurOpatkn's figures given
out last night is greatly deplored. But
evidently the engagement at least
served the purpose of demonstrating
that Gen. Kuroki has been heavily re-

inclined to believe that the japanese
