From j. w. Thomas, who re-
turned Monday afternoon from a
several weeks visit to Elgin THE
HERALD learns that since leaving
here the gentleman made a special
trip through the Indian territory
Kansas and Missouri, cor the pur-
pose of making arrangements for
purchasing all the tomatoes and
cucumbers that may be grown in
this section in carload lots, and
Mr.. Thomas thinks he has every
thing IN working order whereby he
can promise to buy all Of these
commodities mentioned and pay
the highest market price, f. o. b.
Brownsville. Mr.. Thomas thinks
this is the only way the business
can be properly handled here. and
he will find many to agree with
him. When the cash is paid over
the counter, so to speak, there will
be no long suspense in waiting for
returns, which so very often prove
unsatisfactory when they do come
in. OF curse THE HERALD is
neither truck farmer nor comission
man, and therefore does not pre-
sumo to offer advice on the subject,
preferring to let every man pur-
sue his own course, but we think
the arrangement upon which Mr..
Thomas is working is a very good
one. The gentleman left this
morning for Elgin, where he will
engage in cotton buying.

JAPANESE ENJOYS
Declare Their Powers Ample and Gre.
dentials All Right.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 1.-THE
Japanese ENJOYS tonight, through A.
Sato, their official spokesman, denied
with emphasis the report that their
powers were abridged and that their
credentials were still in question.
81 need only point" he said, ito a
portion of the official statement is
sued by direction of the Russian en-
voys yesterday. 1t says:
cat the meeting of August 10 the
question of free power has been regu-
lated so that there is no more difficulty
on that subject
81 need not remark ne continued,
that that is a correct statement and
that the Russian envoys would not
have issued it were it not accurate"
''Is the meeting arranged for tomor-
row for the purpose of giving the Rus
sian ENJOYS an opportunity to present
their governments answer to the Jap
anese demands?" he was asked.
81 could not say" he replied. There
may be other questions arise. The un-
derstanding, however, was that the
next meeting of the ENJOYS would be
for the purpose of receiving Russia's
answer"

FOR WAR OR PEACE
Japan Is Equally Ready, Says Col.
Tachibana.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. Il.-Col.
Tachibana, military attache at Wash
ington, formerly member of the staff
OF Field Marshal Oyama, today gave
out the following interview for Japa-
nese consumption:
when Beaconsfield said that Eng
land was ready for war or peace, Eng
land may not have been as ready as
he desired to be understood. But when
japan says today that she is equally
ready for war or peace, she means ex-
actly what she says. The readiness of
Field Marshal Oyama for continue
tion Of the active conflict is greater
than the world dreams. BY his posi-
tion and his forces he is prepared to
administer to Gen. Linevitch defeat
besides which the battles at Mukden
or Lao Yang would be small indeed.
If peace negotiations fail, an immedi-
ate battle will result in another victory
for the Japanese"

again, and was shot through the hand.
The negro was then strung up to q
tree, his feet only an inch from the
ground. His clothing was saturated
with oil and set afre. The negro never
uttered an outcry as the flames cooked
his flesh, strangulation keeping him
from making a noise. After allowing
him to burn for 30 minutes the body
was cut down and more oil applied. 1t
was again strung up and was kept
burning until it was practically con-
sumed.
Williams was about 80 years old. He
was known as ginger cake" type of
negro, and had been around here for
the past two years doing odd jobs.
1t is estimated that 5000 people wit
messed the execution and the town was
keenly excited for time. 1t was
feared that a race war would break
out and all the unruly negroes would
be harshly dealt with. Everything,
however, is quiet tonight. J.

CATHEDRAL FILLED
At THE OBSEQU|ES
LAST RITES OVER THE DEAD
ARCHBISHOP.
People Refused to Leave the Church
at the Command Of Health
Officers.

New Orleans, La, Aug. 11.-Escort-
ed by officers of the United States
marine hospital service, headed by
Surgeon j. II. White the officer in
charge of the local yellow fever situa,
ton, the remains of the late Arch
bishop Louis Chappelle, archbishop of
the diocese of Louisiana and apostolic
delegate to Cuba and Porto Rico were
inferred In a crypt beneath the altar
in the historic st. Louis cathedral to-
day. Comparatively few psople attend.
ed the funeral as Surgeon White has
issued manifesto prohibiting an un-
necessary assembly of people where
yellow fever has been raging for the
past month.
The body was inferred alongside the
prelate's predecessors. The sepulcher
was then sealed and all that was NOR
tai of the beloved bishop was shut out
of view from sight for all time.
The funeral services were sad and
simple yet impressive in their sim
plicity. They opened with the cele.
bration of a solemn requiem high
mass, winch lasted Tor more than an
hour and was interspersed with chants
and hymns by the choir.
The edifice during the mass was
crowded with people of all colors,
creeds, and sexes, who refused t.
leave the church at the command of
the health officers. All eyes wsre cen
tered on the front of the altar where
the corpse of the great man lay en-
cased in coffin, while tears ran from
the eyes of the multitude and sobs of
lamentations were heard in many
quarters.
So soon as the danger of yello'
fever is passed solemn requiem cere-
mony will be held in the old cathedral
at which it is expected all the bishops
end archbishops in the United Stateg
will attend.

PEACE is CERTAIN ITO RESULT
From Presidents Efforts TO Bring Warning Nations
Together -Russia's Answer Expected Today.
An Agreement Is Expected Soon

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 11.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's efforts to put q stop
to the war in the Far East and bring
about lasting peace between Russia
and Japan bids fair to be- successful.
The indications now are that the ne
gotiations in progress here will result
In the signing of q treaty of peace.
The Russian answer to the Japanese
conditions of peace will be mace at
the meeting tomorrow and some of
the terms will be accepted while 9th
ers will be rejected. Those which
Russia will refuse to comply with will,
however, become the subject Of discus
sion and negotiation and it is believed
that ultimately satisfactory agree.
ment will be reached on all points
While this may be an optimistic
view, the opinion is generally shared
here tonight that present conditions
warrant this assumptin. Japan's insis-
tence upon the terms contested by
Russia will delay an agreement and
possibly may result In the breaking
off of negotiations. But this regret
table possibility, it is hoped, may be
avoided NJ Whites action tonight in
authorizing his secretary, M. Kar-
astoviez to give out an interview on
the situation is indicative of Russia's
willingness to meet Japan's demands
as nearly as possible. M. Karastoviez
gave Count Whites official sanction to
the following statement:
There will be meeting of the
conference at the navy yard at about
10 o'clock tomorrow morning at which
M. Witte will present the Russian an.
swer to the Japanese proposals. That
answer will say that some OF the
conditions of peace are satisfactory
; and that some are rejected | cannot
specify just which are, and which are
not satisfactory. All | can say on
that point Is that those conditions
which are compatible with the honor
and dignity of Russia will be accept
cd, with certain restrictions, and that
those which are incompatible with our
honor will be rejected"
as the inference to be drawn that
the Russian answer will be in the form
of counter-proposition?
mot at all 1t is an answer and
not proposition" responded NJ. Kar-
astoviez.
"Do you expect this answer to lead
TO satisfactory negotiations?"
az hope So" was the reply.
"Is it true that Russia has asked
for an armistice and that the request
has been denied by Japan?" he was
asked
There is no truth in that report"
replied NJ Karastoviez Russia has
not asked for an armistice and have
no knowledge of any intention on her
part to do So"
