Proceedings were filed today in the
United States Circuit Court, at Charles
ton, S. c., in the name of a stakeholder
of the Southern Railway to have the
lease of the South Carolina and Georgia
Railroad declared null.
1t is thought at Montpelier, VT, that
the decision Of Judge Peckham declin-
ing writ OF error for Mary Rogers,
murderer of her husband, exhausts the
last hope of saving The condemned wo-
mans life, as it is not believed that Gov
ernor Bell will take further action in the
case.

for new trial. Unless Governor Hig-
gins should interfere, Patrick will have

Attempted Assassination.

Rome, June 9.-An attempt was made
to assassinate Canon Boniface today while
he was standing in window of bis resi-
dence, in the town of Fanni. a suburb of
Foggia. The would-be murderer was
another priest who was jealous of Boni-
face because the latter had been promot-
ed to be archpriest of the cathedral. He
fred revolver at Boniface, but missed
his aim. The would-be assassin was ar.
rested and taken to prison. The parish
toner's who take the side of the assaiant,
attempted to rescue him from the prison,
and it was necessary for carbiniers Ia
charge upon the crowds to drive them
awav from the prison.

The War in Manchuria.

st Petersburg, June 9.-General
Linevitch reports that the japanese
yesterday attacked the Russian van
guard. Tue Russians occupied SAINT
ziamoi and Tanngen, and drove the
japanese from Nanshaniahenza.
A report cabled from here by a news
agency that, pending the peace move,
an armistice has been practically de-
clared, is ridiculed here. General
Linevitch's report is pointed to as
showing that active operations are still
going on. It is not believed here that
there will be any cessation of hOstilities
until peace is certain.
Another statement cabled from here
that the government. is plainly prepar-
ing the public for the announcement
that the Emperor has decided to con-
clude peace is also bad guess. There
is no need to prepare the public for
such an announcement. They want
peace and have wanted it for some time.

Norwegians Want a Republic

1t is reported that the Norwegian
government, in view of King Oscars ap'
parent definite refusal to consider the
Stortbing to place prince of the house
of Bernadotte on the throne, has private
" approached the Danish royal family
to ascertain if an offer OF the throne
would be received by member of it,
preferably Prince Charles, son Of Crown
Prince Frederick. The general opinion
expressed in Copenhagen is that such
an offer would be refused. According
to reports from Stockholm, King Oscar
may be induced to reverse his decision
and favorably regard the offer of the
throne for a member of his house.
Leading Swedish politicians are much
divided over the question, which, it is
understood, vii! not be definitely decided
prior to the extraordinary session Of the
Riksdag.
Authoritative information received
from Norwegian circles represents the
majority of Norwegians as opposed to
giving the throne to a prince of the
house of Bernadotte. 1t is stated that if
King Oscar should definitely refuse the
throne for member of his family, and
that if the Danish royal family should
likewise refuse to place one of its princes
on it, Norway will become a republic,
and that this is favored by the mass of
the population.

Movements Toward Peace.

1t is stated .hat although he indicates
desire to learn Japan's peace terms,
the answer of Emperor Nicholas to Presi-
dent Roosevets message of inquiry is ir
some respects unsatisfactory and shows
no present desire to conclude hostiities.
President Roosevelt had among his
callers yesterday Ambassador Jusserand,
of France, Russias ally; Ambassador
Durand, of England, and Minister Taxa
hira, of Japan, all of whom declined to
to give even an intimation of the result
of their conferences.
Il is defnely undertood that Japan
does not propose to tolerate any inter
ference, although she Is not averse to the
steps taken by neutrals in the direction
of peace.
All interest in st. Petersburg centers
upon President R0osevelt's maneuvers.
10 his course the President is fully
sustained by Emperor William Of Ger

ROYAL Arcanum Affairs.

New York, June 9. -Discontent
among the 307, 600 members ofthe Royal
Arcanum over the increased insurance
rates of the organization has grown until
within the last week or so several coun-
ellis have adopted resolutions condemning
the action of the governing board at its
recent meeting 10 Atlantic City. That
board which is known as the Supreme
Council, authorizes new schedule that
will result in driving out many old
members. The heaviest burdens, after
the schedule becomes effective, on October
next will be borne by men more than
so years old. and after the age Of 81, the
monthly payment for SO. 900 insurance
is fixed at Sl6.08. la general, the new
rates are so much more attractive to
young men, than to the old that the re-
suit, il is believe will be wedding out
ofthe aged and possibly large increase
in the ranks of the new 'joiners. " The
latter outcome though is not expected by
all the members, for there are many who
say that young men are not going to en-
ter an insurance arrangements which
they may have to desert when they grow

Movement Toward Peace.

81. Petersburg, June 9, $3.50 p. m.-
One of the highest Russian officials, who
speaks with full authority, said to the
correspondent of the Publishers Press
this afternoon that the movement for
peace had begun. ave have not yet
received Japan's TERMS" he said, land
until we do, it is impossible to say
whether the war is drawing to an end.
can not say definitely, however, that
an embryonic peace state has begun.
We hope it will develop normally. The
danger is in exaggerating such incidents
as the interview of Ambassador Meyer
of the United States with the Car. The
situation is so delicate that the slightest
false move will disarrange the whole
peace machinery"
Officials here are awaiting the out
come of the conferences being held by
the Car to consider the subject of peace
and of the effort made by President
ROos welt toward accomplishing the much
desired end.
A significant change is noticeable in the
attitude of government officials toward
America, indicating that the government
is alive to the importance of the position
which President Roosevelt has assumed
in the peace question. The correspon-
dent of the Publishers Press hears
friendly expressions of opinion as to the
good faith of Washington in many quar-
lers where a few days ago America was
called Japan's ally. One official in an
interview with your CORE pondent to-
day said: president Roosevelt is now
almost the most important factor of the
peace negotiations, as the Car and the
President are performing one of the most
difficult fea's of diplomacy ever attempt
ed. President Roosevelt is conducting
informal mediation negotiations with
almost as much force as if he were an
official mediator. There is no doubt
that the President has broken the ice,
out the question is whether a sudden

chance of Mr.. Roosevelt succeeding, for
know the Gar has faith in him, which
is in itself good augury. The status
of the negotiations is being kept secret
even from the highest officials at St.
Petersburg. Only the Car and few of
bis mOstintimate advisers know definitely
what is happening. Among those who
know what is being done is Count
Lamsdorff, the Foreign Minister. whose
name just now is synonymous with
peace"
London, June "a special meeting
of the Cabinet is being held this morn
ing This is the third time the Cabinet
has been called together since Monday,
and there is no doubt that the peace
question is under discussion,
Following the Cabinet meeting, this
morning, the French Ambassador, NJ.
Cambon, went t. Downing street, and
called at the Foreign Office, where he
was closeted with Lord Lansdown, the
Foreign Minister, for some time. NJ.
Cambon, upon his departure, declined
t. say whether peace had been discussed.

The Quebec Legislature recently
passed law providing for a tax OF $500
on all travellers coming into the Prov
ince of Quebec to sell goods for per-
sons, firms or corporations having a resi-
dence or place of business in Canada.
This law became operative on the first
Ct June. A traveller paying this tax can
represent as many firms as be chooses.
The measure as applied to resident manu-
features agents was successfully opposed,
but the opposition to the tax on COM
mercia travellers from other countries
was overcome with the result that that
measure becomes law as above stated.

SENATOR MARTIN.

Congressman Lamb, of the Richmond
district, who was in Washington We'd
nosday, during a conversation with the
correspondent of the Richmond News
Leader said
"The political situation is in some
respects a very complex one, and there
is, of course, much speculation as to the
outcome. As to the senatorial race |
think that while the attack of Mr. Royal
has injured Senator Martin, possibly in
some instances, on the whole it has done
his cause good. AS 4 rule, there is
nothing that will really Felp a man 5
cause like good advertising, and this is
what Senator Martin is getting now. No,
don't think the attacks that are now
being made on him will do any harm,
and, on the contrary, in my opinion,
ought to help him. OF course. you
can tell what the city vote Of Richmond
will do, but there is, 10 my mind, no
doubt that Senator Martin will be largely
in the lead in the country. His c'm-
paign is thoroughly organized and work
ing tremendously all over the State, and
that counts for a great deal. In my
mind the Senator will win out"
Congressman II. ID. Flood, of the
Tenth district, who is in Richmond, ex-
pressed the conviction yesterday that
Senator Martin will be overwhelmingly
reelected to the United States Senate.
Mr.. Flood has been around in the valley
considerably and says that the sentiment
there is for Martin and that the Tenth
district will almost certainly be for him.
