Chief of Police Makes Arrests md
 Then Accuses Himself.
 Newport News, Va, May 13.-Mayor Allen A. Moss, who Is a candidate for reelection; William T. Moss, a promi- nent attorney and brother of the Nay or, and Robert W. Perkins, one of the managers of the campaign for Samuel R. Buxton. the Mayors opponent, were arrested this afternoon by Chief of Po- lice Thomas M Johnson and Sergeant Bryan OHara for lighting in the street.
 They were baiIed to appear in police court tomorrow. Chief Johnson also preferred against himself the charge of cursing and abusing the combatants, having lost his temper while trying to prevent the men from renewing the fis- ticuffs after he had stepped in between them.
 The fight grew out of the Mayor call ing Perkins to account for alleged ma licious slander which lne Mayor charges was being industriously circu- lated by Perkins for political purposes Hot words were exchanged and Perkins struck at W. T. Moss. The Mayor then struck Perkins in the face. and the po- lice interfered before further damage could be done.

 Suelichen was held by troop of Cos sacks acting as a screen. while the Chan sialan defle was occupied by two sot- nias.
 Two companies of Japanese marched on Chahsialin and another company ad- vanced on Suelichin, turning our right flank.
 The Cossacks then retired, still keeping the enemy back with their fire, first upon the Rangtlen defile and finally towards the defle in the nelgbhorhood of the vil- lage of Ehumynzo where they took up position.
 The captain of the sotnia, De Wahl, was wounded and two Cossacks were killed.

WILL OF F. L. WENTz
EXECUTED ONLY A FEW DAYS BE- t FORE HIS DEATH.
Lends Theory of Suicide Now Firmly Held By Many COnvereant wIfh Facts--Beheficiary ss Wife
 of His Brother.

Bristol, Tenn. May 13.---It appears to- night that the late F. L. wentz left a will executed only few days previous to his death. in which he leaves his entire fortune to Mrs. D. B. wentz. wife of the brother with whom he was so closely associated through the years of their residence at Big Stone Gap.
 The report that the will had been found and that it bears date only a few days prior to his tragic death, lends color to the theory of suicide, now firmly believed by many of those most conversant with the facts
 The fact that the will had been dis covered was first made public today, but there Is reliable information to the effect that it was found by his family some time ago. Naturally 1t was not published until his death was estab- lished.
 Mrs, D. B. wentz. his brothers wife, Is said to be the chief, if not the sole, beneficiary under the will. A short time previously MT. Wentz had receiv- ed a fortune of between $200,OO0 and $500, 900 by bequest from an uncle, for whom he was named. and it Is this which passes by the will.

BAPIIsIS OF SOUTH
LARGE ATTENDANCE AT THE
 NASHVILLE CONVENTION.
President EaGIe, Secretaries BurrOw and Gregory, Treasurer Norton and Auditor Harvey are Honor ed With Reelection to
 Their Offices.

Nashville, Tenn. May 13.--When the Southern Baptist convention was call ed to order at the Tabernacle this morning by President James E. Eagle. 1,042 delegates were In their seats.
 The first business was the effecting of a permanent organization and Pres ident Eagle was reelected. The same honor was conferred on Secretaries Lansing Burrows and o. F. Gregory. and on c. W. Norton, treasurer. and w. P. Harvey, auditor.
 The vote on vice president was an- nounced at the afternoon session the following being chosen:
 John W. Thomas, Nashville, Tenn c. B. Willingham, Macon. Ga; c. w. Stephens, Columbia, Mo; Robert c. Buckner, Dallas, Texas.
 A petition introduced at the morning session by Virginia delegates may cause a breeze in the convention. The ulterior object of the paper seems to bring Southern and Northern white Baptists together in work in behalf of the negro. as well as to bring the North and South branches of the church closer together. It Is said, however, that there Is a strong sentiment in the con- ventiOn opposed to the purpose of the Virginia delegation to refer the negro question to a commission to be appoint ed at this session and to report at the next.
 The plans of the opposition to the Virginia idea seem to be to aid the ne- gro Baptists independently of the Northern church and allow the negroes to look after their own affairs. The preliminary skirmish to-day resulted in gains for neither side. the petition being referred to committee on work among the negroes.
 The afternoon session of the conven- ton was devoted. to hearing of reports, The Sunday school board report shows the largest annual receipts in It's his- tory, the Sl0O,O00 mark being passed.
 The home mission boards report shows receipts of st27S5O for the year. The report deals extensively with the negro question, taking more advanced ground than conventions have hereto fore taken. Cooperative work with the National Baptist Association (col- ored) is advocated. Work among mountaineers and factory and mill hands is another feature.
 The foreign mission board reported contributions of $247,512.62.
 The annual convention sermon was delivered tonight by Dr. w, w. Lam drum of Atlanta, routine business oc- cupying the remainder of the night session.

No Friction Whatever Between Rome
 and American Hierarchy

No Friction Whatsoever Between Rome
 and American Hierarchy
 Washington, May 13.--Monsignor Falconio, the papai representative at Washington to-day made the following statement regarding the reported pro- posed visit of Cardinal SatolIi to America:
 We are authoritatively informed that there is no truth whatever in the current report regarding the object of Cardinal satolli's proposed visit to America. namely to settle disputes which have arisen in ecclesiastical cir cles on account of the alleged Ameri- can spirit of liberty and the absolutism of Rome. There is no friction what ever between the apostolic delegate and the American hierarchy. The Ameri- can bishops are united and in perfect accord with the views of the Holy Fa- ther, and Rome is not apprehensive that they ever will be otherwise."

ERECTING COMPLICATIONS

Liao Yang. May 13.-The advance guard Of the first Japanese army has appeared six miles below Lien CheDg Kuan, on the road to Liao Yang. It is not making any further advance. but Is erecting strong Notifications. The Japanese movements were made with the greatest care.
 A persistent report is current here that a Russian squadron of cavalry succeeded in getting behind the Japanese who were several squadrons strong and is occupying Kuan Dian San. The unexpected appear ance of the Russians caused the Japa- nese immediately to evacuate the town and retire toward the Yalu. The report is believed to be correct.
 Professor Karavieff, who has arrived here on a train from Port Arthur, as- serts that he saw near Polandien station the body of a Russian soldier, one of the railroad patrol, cut into quarters
 IE a skirmish near Polandien, one of the patrol was wounded. On the Iapa- nese approaching the soldier feigned death, and 1t is said a Japanese officer shot him in the mouth.

 London, May -1A-fhe Morning Posts Shanghai correspondent says:
 The Japanese first army has occupied Ali Yang.
 'tVieeroy Alexieff has sent a note to the Tartar general of Manchuria, com plaining that the Chinese villagers re- fused to sell supplies to Russian troops and demanding that the general issue a proclamation ordering the natives to sup ply foodstuffs.
 Some of the Chinese viceroys are anxious for war with Russia"
 It is impossible to identify many of the Russianized Chinese names given in the Russian. staff accounts of the advance in Manehuria. ss-..--- ss.,.54 General kurokis boldness in pushing on is commented on here as showing that he believes General Kuropatkin's forces are much weaker than they are represented. The partial destruction of Dalny Is re- Earded as showing that the Russians an- ticipate the Japanese will make deter mined attempt to capture Port Arthur while, owing to the moral effect the fall Of the stronghold would have on Russian prestige, an equally determined resistance will be made.
