China Sea It will be considered al- most a miracle if 1t ever does.

It is believed here that the terms upon which Japan will insist as the price of peace will include the fol- lowing:
 First---A pledge from Russia and the other European powers that the ter- rItoriAl integrity of China shall be observed, with an open door for com msrce of all nations on equal terms.
 Second--A pledge that Russia will never interfere in Korean affairs or attempt to recover her prestige there.
 Thlrd--The evacuation of the prov ince of Manchuria by Russian troops.
 Fourth.-The rebuilding of the Man churian branch nf the Siberian Rail- road, with a pledge that 1t shall never be employed for military purposes.
 Fifth--Japan to retain possession of Port Arthur as long as Germany oc- cupies Kiao-ChAu and Britain is at Wei-Hai-Wei.
 sixth--The restoration to Japan of the Island of saghalien. taken from her by Russia many years ago.
 seventh-A limit to the number of war ships maintained by Russia in Asi- atic waters.
 Eighth-An indemnity to cover the cost of the war may possibly be de- manded, but the Japanese here do not think 1t will be, because Japan is not lighting for money, but for principle, and will place no money value upon the sacrifices 1t has made in the de- fense and enforcement of that princi- pie. It is believed that Russia in the negotiations will insist upon having a port upon the coast of China, because Germany, England and France enjoy that advantage, and 1t is also believed that she will demand the harbor of San Nun Wan (Three Entrance Bay), near the City of Ning-Po, just south of Shanghai, and the mouth of the Yang-Tse River. That port was de- manded by Italy after the Boxer troubles, but China refused to make the cession and the other powers sus- tained her.
 It Is expected also that before Rus sia makes overturss for peace she will attempt to create an international sit- uation and involve the European pow CTS In Complications so as to secure their aid and protection. No one is so rash as to predict how this is to be done, but everybody who pays much attention to such matters seems to ex- pect that something will happen before the peace negotiations actually begin.
 The order for 100000 tons of rails, $50 locomotives and 1000 railway cars placed by Russia with the steel trust has been declined by that corporation. The negotiations were conducted by Colonel Hunsiker, the resident agent of the United States Steel Corporation in London. but the officers of that company in New York were not satis- lied with the terms of payment and declined to ratify the contract.

The chief met hiH visitors genially and talked interest," ingly on the events of the day. polt- tics he touched on but lightly and showed no inclination to discuss the points of interest in the coming ms1s nicipal campaign.
 The old roam horse waited patiently at the curb in front of the door and seemed glad that things were once more the same" Chief Gerald looks improved and the rest and recupeFAs tion after his illness has undoubtedly had a good effect on his health.
 What do you think of the city cam paign?" Chief Gerald was asked.

ACCUSED OF EMBEzzLEMENT.
Morgan D. sweatt, Jr., Brought Back
 to Montgomery.

t8 M0MNBUMAENSs
 vaIdosta, Ga, Feb. s.--Morgan Sweatt, Jr., a lad 15 years old, was ar- rested here today as he stepped from a train from Montgomery, Ala, on warrant charging him with embexzle- ment. The lad was well-dressed and appeared very intelligent.
 During the day Chief of Police Dam pier had a conversation over the tele- phone with the Chief of Police of Mont gomery, and was informed that young Sweatt had embezsled $500 and skipped out from there. The chief then went to the jail and searched the young man and found ss71 on him.
 The boy stated that he slept In the waiting room at Dothan one night and the balance of the money was stolen from him while he slept, it being car ried in another pocket.
 A message from Montgomery stated that the Chief of Police and the young mans father were to come here toe night. It is not known from whom the money was taken. The boys fa- ther is said to be prominent insurance agent of Montgomery.
 Morgan sweatt, IT,. is a son of Mor- gan D. Sweatt, a collector for the in- surance firm of Sweatt G Westcott, and
  Avenue. He was employed as clerk by Virgin & Faunce. stock brokers. and was highly regarded by his employers.
 The young man was sent to the bank several days ago to make a deposit of some checks and money and did not re- turn. An investigation showed that he had left Montgomery and that his des- tination was probably Valdosta, Ga. The checks he had in his possession, he mailed to his employer after getting on the train, but he kept the money
 It was believed that Sweat had gone to the Georgia town to sec a young girl friend, and his father and MT. Faunce went after him and brought him back to Montgomery.
 Sweatts father made up the deficit in his accounts. and the firm declined to prosecute him. The boys mother was almost prostrated by the news of her sons action, and the news was re- ceived as a shock by all who knew him. because he was regarded as an excel- Aerlt and straightforward young man.
 It is said that an effort will be made to place the unfortunate boy in a re- formatory.

 The resolution was adopted without dissention and was inserted in the orig inal resolutions as an amendment that will not be in conflict with the pro- visions of Section of the Acts of 1903. The date for the primary was set for March IS which, in accordance of law. gives time for proper notice to be giv- en. At the first meeting the commit. tee named February 27 as the day to hold the primary but being less than thirty days in advance the date was afterwards found to be illegal.
 On tne subcommittee were appoint. ed Chairman Robert D. Walker, Sec- retary Franeieh and Mir. Baker.
 The committee after passing the resolution discussed shortly the ways and means of holding the elections. Mfr. Franelich called the body's atten- tion to the matter of a polling booth in the third ward and after consulta. ton with Chief of Police Walters is was concluded that the fire station near the city hall could be used. A number of amendments were made in the clause exacting fees from the va: rious candidates.
 The committee has completed It's work until after the primary when 1t will meet to consider protests. The subcommittee will announce the names of the clerks and inspectors about February 27.

F
 Doc Jones, a well known negro. was shot yesterday afternoon late bS another negro unknown to the police. and Is lying at the point of death. It is believed that Jones's assailant was Ed Morgan, who tried to kill Deputy Sheriff suttIes and Policeman Smith and escaped yesterday morning when the former was taking him to the county jail. A number of the negroes are wrought up and are said to be aid. ing the police in their efforts to ap- prehend Morgan. They say that ho will fight desperately if located.
 Jones was shot down. 1t is said. without the least provocation. He had accused two negroes with whom he was in conversation, of stealing some of his chickens when one of them shot him in the shoulder and ran. Al- though Jones has not made q stats- ment the police think that Morgan did the shooting and duplicate e negro named Mcintosh who. it iB said. was with Morgan. No arrests have been made so far.
 Today Jones's condition is improved but it Is doubtful if he will live.

In Police Court.


 There were charges and counter charges in the police court this morn ing between two negroes and neither came out the better. Horace Sharp preferred @ charge of disorderly con- duct against Willie Wilson and Will lie Wilson in turn charged Horace Sharp with assault with a knife. Both were fined for disorderly conduct iil the sum of $10.
 The trouble between the two ne- groes occurred in the poolfoom con- ductsd by Frank Weaver and it led to a warning from Mayor Atkins to the latter that If in two weeks he hadn't established order in his place his li- censs would be re0cinded.
 Not day has passed recently that one or more negroes haven't been tried in Police Court for disorderly conduct in Viewers poolroom and the Mayor is determined to rid the place of de- testable characters or rid the city of the place. A number of minor ne- groes have been in trouble in the poolroom.
