The Bone of Contention.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. 2.-The Associated
Press learns from a high official source
that japan in her last note to the RUS
sian government, announced that the
minimum proposition which she can ac-
cept from Russia must include rights in
Korea equal to those claimed bv Russ
in Manchuria. In return. it is said. japan
agrees to recognize the supremacy of
Russia in Manchuria.
To this proposition the Associated Press
is informed the Russian government will
not give its approval. feeling that Japan
should content herself with notifications
in the form of concessions in Korea tor
her commerce. Count Cassini, the Russ an
Ambassador, thinks the Far Eastern SIT
uation gloomy, but not without some
hope Of salvation.
AT the japanese Legation tonight it was
irtimated that if the Russian reply does
not give definite assurance that in gen
eral the concessions asked for by japan in
Korea will be granted the Toxic govern
ment will be imrelled to abandon diplo-
macy for force.

Supreme Court Disests
(Reported by Jos. L. Seawell)

(Reported by Jos. l.. Seawell)
STATE, appellant VS.. TAYLOR, from
Edgecome. Error.
To sustain plea of former conviction it
is necessary that the two prosecutions be
for the same offense and not merely that
thew arose out of the same transaction.
1t is therefore held that a conviction of
violating town ordinance by fighting and
disturbing the peace does not sustain
plea of former conviction to an indict-
ment, by reason of the same transaction,
for assault with deadly weapon.
STATE VS.. REGISTER, appellant. From
Columbus. No error.
The power of the Governor to order a
special term of court is not restricted to
instances where there is an accumulation
of business.
The Judge appointed to hold such court
has power to try indictments found at that
term. as we'll as at previous term, not

of business is recited in his commission as
a reason for ordering the special term.

The exception to the trial of the pris-
