Soon after he left for Tokyo to conduct the first colony across the Pa cifc to their new home in the United States.
 There will be S00 families in the par ty. aud AIr. Akioki has bought for them a solid tract of 10000 acres in Bee county. He showed the deeds to the officials at the department of sgri. culture and described the tract as pos sexSing alI the natural advantages de- sired for tea farming and silk raising.

Conditions More serious.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 10--The situa-
ton here is still uneasy and trade IS par
alyzed BY the feeling ofuncertsinty which
prevails everywhere. 1t is estimated that
80, 600 additional workers went out on
strike yesterday. The men are bitter
because they have not received the prom
ised reforms promptly. Thore is a re-
port current here which, however, has
not been confirmed, that a number of
men again went on strike at the Putloi
works and killed an obnoxious foreman.
A strike il again on at the Putloff aad
Franco-Russian works. This morning a
number of the employees of these firms,
after a conference with the directors,
went out owing to the refusal of the man
ufacturers to grant an eight hour day.
TIE strikers marched in small groups
through the city. Their demeauor is
quiet. The movement is entirely an
economic one and no disorders are feared.
Berlin, Feb. 10.-Ths Lokal Anzeiger
reports that the casualties at Sosnoyice,
Poland, at the clash last night between

WAR IN THE EAST.

The Russian grand ducal party il
reported to have reached the conclusion
that the war with Japan should be
terminated on the best terms obtainable.
The Russian court is said to be divided
between partissns of Kuropatkin and
Grippenberg, and the former general
is reported to be suffering from mslady
showing lack of will power
Vladivostok is practically blockaded
by ice on one side and the japanese navy
watching the other route.
The immpression prevails in Toxic
that the impending battle between the
armies of Field Marshal Oyama and
General Kuropatkin will occur before
any material thaw takes place, which
would convert the country into a slushy
bog and render the movement OF guns,
ammunition and stores impossible until
the roads harden.
That the Car is not satisfied with
General Kurepstkin's policy OF con-
Quoting the campaign in Manchuria is
apparent from the consideration of pro-
posed changes. The latest report is that
Grand Duke Nicholsiavitch will be sent
to Manchuria, either to relieve Kuro-
patkin srassume the position of vicsroy.
If the latter. Kuropatkin will then haze
to report to him.
The Russian army organ estimates the
strength of the japanese army in Man
churia at 266, 900 cavalry and infantry
and $50 guns, which, it is claimed, is
80, 900 less men than the Russian force.
The Russians have continued their
bonbardmsnt in the direction of the
Shake river since the night of Febru-
airy 7. They also continue intrenching
in front of Liuchenpao and in the
vicinity OF Heikoutai.
The Japanese believe that their block
ade Of Viadiyostok lie effective.

FRIDAY EVENING, FEB. 10, 1905.

TuF CURTAIN fell at an early hour
this morning upon the last act in the
tragic history of J. Samuel McCue, who
on the 4th of last September murdered
his wife in Charlottesville. He is now
before a Judge from whose decision there
can be no appeal and to whom all things
are open and bare. This case forms one
of the most interesting in the calendar
Of crime. and has been studied by thou
sands throughout the land during tie
nast four months; hence the facts are
fresh in the minds Of all newspaper
readers. They corroborate the oft
repeated observation, that 'there is a
skeleton in every household" The
McCues had doubtless been supposed by
many who passed and repassed :heir
pslatial home in the beautiful Albemarls
city to be among the happiest, surround
ed as they we're by everything that could
tend toward domestic comfort. But
every heart knoweth its own sorrow.
The McCues' wealth kept the wolf far
away from their domicile, but phsntoms
more CHASTITY grinned and danced amid
their scenes of worldly luxury. The
husband and wife were not of one ac-
cord-they had jars and estrauge'
ments-the trail of the serpent was over
everything domestic atmosphere
was vitiated. The absence of sympathy
between the ill-starred couple forced
them to pass lives of deceit, and while
Iningling with the world, apparently in
good humor with one another, fierce
spirits doubtless struggled in each, until
the climax was reached last September,
when man and wife returned home from
church through different streets. They
had listened to the Gospel Of Peace while
other thoughts we're occupying their
minds, and, failing to profit by what
they had heard, irritated wounds they
had made but feeble attempts to heal,
and the end was tragedy. All hus-
bands and wives who quarrel do not end
their yariances by murder. Occasion
ally some do, and the terrible scenes
in Charlottesville on the 4th Of last
September and the last sad act in that
place early this morning afford serious
lessons to all. Sympathy, naturally
has gone out TO the ill-used wife, who
doubtless trod many paths that will
never be known to the world. Patient
and long-suf'ering, she struggled on until
relieved of her burdens by the man who
had taken her for better or worse and
who had promised in the presence OF
God and man to cherish and honor her.

Garman Sfrikera

Berlin, Feb. l0.--A portion OF the
strikers in the mining regions refused to
accept the decision Of the Essen con-
ference yesterday, and did not return to
work this morning. A party efextremists
attacked strike leaders Sachse and Pue,
who bad recommended the termination
of the strike and attempted to lynch
them. Pue was seriously injured. The
extremists are venting their indignation
by various excuses. Among ether
things, they destroyed portion of the
railway near Essen, where the authorities
are preparing to suppress formidable
riots. Meetings were held at Steels,
Rauxel, and Habinghurst at which reso-
lutions have been passed in favor of q
continuance of the strike. The colliers
at Frintroh, Heisingen, Schalke, Oster-
field, Gelsen- Kirschen, Herten, Herne.
Brucknausen, and Dortmund, are OPP
posing these actions Of tie extremists,
and have decided to accept the arrange
ments for the resumption of work.

the decree of the courts, then viewed
the body and signed their report.
The body was taken down after the
announcement of the doctors and i'm
nediately prepared for burial.
The autopsy showed that the neck was
not broken by the tall and that death
resulted from strangulation. The dis
coloration was very slight. The body
was taken on an early train to Brook
Vile, Aldermarle county, where it will
be buried beside the father and mother
of MoCue on the old McCue homestead.
The confession satisfies the public
mind and completely vindicates the ju-
dietary and executive departments. The
Governors refusal to further interfere is
being widely commended today.
Mrs. Fannie NJ. McCue, wife of j.
Samuel McCue, former Mayor of Char
lottesville, was murdered in their home
in that city on Sunday evening, Septen-
Der 4, 1904.
McCue claimed that an intruder had
entered their bedroom just after their re.
turn from church, and while they were
preparing to retire.
Later, the wife was found beaten and
shot to death in the bath tub. McCue
offered liberal reward.
A coronsr's jury Immediately began an
inquisition. Before it concluded its
work McCue was arrested, charged with
the murder of his wife. The accused
retained brilliant counsel. He was in
dicted at the September term of court
was arraigned and pleaded not guilty.
The case was set for trial at the October
term.
Great difficulty was experienced in
getting a jury. Just 1853 veniremen
were summoned before twelve jurors
were accepted. The cost for jurors and
mileage was 81, 5000.
Hearing OF testimony was begun Octo-
Der 25th. Instructions we're offered and
argued, the case deliberately argued and
given to the jury before noon November
9th. In less than thirty minutes the
jury reported verdict of guilty. Mo-
ten to set aside the verdict was refused.
An appeal was allowed the petition and
record prepared and forwarded to the
appellate court January 8, 1905. The
court refused the writ of error.
Subsequently counsel for McCue filed
supplementary petition, urging the
importance of the issue presented. The
court, after due consideration, handed
down an exhaustive written opinion,
denying the writ and erlphstically de-
claring the verdict just and justi6-
able one.
Since that time no further step had
been taken until the announcement yes.

As SOON as the public land fraud
cases are cleared up in Oregon, where
several more indictments Of considerable
importance are expected to be returned
shortly, it is said that the government
will devote attention to cases growing
out of alleged land frauds of consider
able extent in Washington, Montana and
Wyoming. Many developmentsin these
States bear some similarity to the trans
actions on which the efforts of the gov
eminent have been concentrated for q
long period in Oregon, and the present
expectation is that another set of grRftera
will be brought to light. The public
lands department of the government
seems to lie permeated with rascality.
