from excessive pressure, did fail to re-
lieve this pressure which should have
been done at once; that E. B. Fergu-
son, chief machinist's mate on watch
in charge of the engine and fire rooms,
did fail to inspect boiler 'B' under his
charge while steam was being raised,
and did fail to cause this steam gauge
to be connected with the boiler. The
said D. N. Holland, fireman, Frank De
Courtenai, oiler, and E. B. Ferguson,
chief machinist's mate, are now all deac
and no proceedings can be taken against
them.
"The court is of the further opinion
that further proceedings should be hac
in the case of Ensign Chas. T. Wade
in that he did fail in his own person tC
see that the safety valve on the boiler
81 was overhauled at the proper time
and kept in good working order, but
did accept the verbal statement of his
subordinate or subordinates that it haC
been overhauled in March, 1905; anC
further, that he did fail to keep the
sentinel valves on the boilers in gooC
working order; and to cause the safety
and sentinel valves ON all boilers to be
tested, in all of which he was negligent
in the performance of his duty, and the
court recommends that he brought tt
trial before a general court-martial,"

Another Infer nal Machine.

New York, Aug. 21.-Gun cotton
enough to kill man, arranged in an in
fernal machine and disguised as gift
cigar box, was received today by Pre-
cinct Police Captain Miles O'Reilly.
This is the third deadly explosive in
strument of similar construction sent
through New York mails in the last
four days, the other two hoving been
received last Friday by Jacob H. Schiff,
the banker, and M. Guggenbeim's Sons.
O'Reilly received cigar box which
in weight and every other detail caused
him to take it for a genuine present.
Unusually heavy and the cautious fast
ened down of the cover, however,
caused suspicion. When the box had
been carefully opened at the ends,
matches were found glued to its inner
surface in such a manner that they
world be ignited on emery paper by the
friction necessary to raise the lid, The
police found that the flare Of one Of the
half dozen matches would have caused
the death of Capt. O'Reilly,

The Chinese Boycott.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Protests
against the Chinese boycott of Ameri-
can goods continue to be received at the
state department, but very few make
any suggestions that losses have been
incurred, although in one or two in
stances transportation companies have
said that there has been a falling off in
the shipment of American goods to
China. No further reports indicating
the progress of the boycott have been
received at the department and it is not
believed that there is any progress OF
the boycott outside of Shanghi. One
instance of an attempt to Insult the
American flag was reported from
Annoy. This happened a month ago,
but the governor of the province
promptly made amends and ordered all
attempts at a demonstration directed
toward Americans to cease. The
Washington government has no COM
plant to make of the local authorities
in China, as the reports indicate that
they have been prompt and efficient in
the protection of American interests.

JUDGE SHeFFEY DIED SUNDAY.
Was Circuit Judge for Nine Years-WaS
SO Years Old.

his home in Marion, Va, on Sunday
morning, August goth.

and served successively as Second and

pacity almost nine years.
Judge Sheffey was married on the

vived by the following children:
Mrs. B. F. Buchanan, Mrs. E. M.
Copenhaver, Mr.. James White Sheffey,
Mr.. John Preston Sheffey, Miss jose
phine Sheffey and Miss Miriam Sheffey
Of Marion, and Mrs. P. G. March, of

Judge Sheffey was widely known
throughout Southwest Virginia, and
his death will be deeply regretted by
all who kew him.

he was an elder in the Royal Oak Pres
byterian church at Marion, Va.
The funeral services were conducted
at Marion at o'clock this afternoon
and the remains inferred with masonic

Burned Ballots In Norfolk County.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 22.-The election
in Eastern Virginia has been highly ex-
citing at some points with everything
quiet at others. The voting is heavy in
all the counties and cities. In Norfolk
county the old feud between the Fusion
and Straightout Democrats has crop
ped out, and in a number of the pre-
cincts of the county there are two sets
of election officials, with two elections
in progress. At Deep Creek precinct
there was some question when Straight
out Democratic Chairman Bilisoly Of
fered to put the judges under oath.
Two judges refused to take the oath
offered by Mr.. Bilisoly. The latter
seized and burned all the ballots. The
Fusion faction, with other tickets set
up a new voting place. The election in
Norfolk is quiet, but the Martin and
Swanson people have no representation
inside Of the polls. 1t looks, however,
as though Martin and Swanson will
carry Norfolk, Portsmouth and Norfolk
county, with all the surrounding coun-
ties, except Princess Anne, which may
go to Montague and Willard.

RUSSIA WILL NOT PAY INDEMNITY
Peace Conference Set for Yesterday
Adjourned Till Today.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug, 22.-Mem-
bers of the Russian party proceeded
early this morning to the conference
chamber in the navy yard, for the pur-
pose of concluding their preparations
for this afternoons session of the peace
conference, but it soon developed that
it would be impossible to get the pro-
tocols ready, and the result was an ad-
journment of the conference until to-
morrow morning at 9: 50 o'clock.
Another reason for the postponement
of the conference lies in the fact that
M. Witte had not received final word
from st. Petersburg, which was expect
ed this morning. 1t did not come, and
therefore M. Plancon, who was hard at
work on the protocol went to Baron
Sato and suggested postponement of
of the conference. Baron Komura ap-
proved this suggestion and announce
ment to that effect was made.
In an interview today M. Witte
said that Japan's demands for the sur
, render of the interned warships and the
limitation of Russia naval strength in
the Pacific were not made with the sin
cerast motive.
M. Witte declined to conjecture as to
the outcome of the negotiations, but
said that whatever the result, the
meeting Of the ENJOYS had not been in
vain.
"For," said he, sin the midst of this
struggle, when war is still going on, a
new force, the force of President
Roosevelt, comes to the front, and is
powerful enough to call halt, and to
lead both sides to meet at the confer
ence table and discuss the questions in
dispute. If nothing comes out of this
conference, and about that | say moth
ing, it will make it easier when we
meet again. We have gained great
DEAL"
In regard to the demand for indem-
nifty, M. Witte said:
"We cannot pay Japan indemnity; it
is impossible. If Japan would use the
money to buy diamonds, clothes, or
other good things for her people, it
would be one thing, but Japan will use
the money to buy"
M. Witte hesitated, and added:
"Ships and other things. If she gets
indemnity from US she will use it as she
used the indemnity from China 25 years
since. She will make war with some
other country. l cannot put that de-
claration in any stronger terms. But
hope of settlement of the dispute is not
absolutely extinguished."
M. Witte, in order to make his own
attitude perfectly clear, explained:
II will not pay indemnity until l am
ordered to do so by my imperial master
the car. My own views are not con-
trolling. l am an envoy of his majesty,
and it is the will Of the czar that is
controlling"
M. Witte then added:
"Russia is able to continue the war.
having ample resources.

Violated PeOnage Law.

Valdosta, ga, Aug. 22.-United
States Marshal Goodwin has returned
from Baconton, where he arrested a
negro, William Strickland, on the
charge of violating the peonage law. 1t
is claimed that Strickland has been hold
ing negro boy named Henry Sterling,
in involuntary servitude. !" Strickland
got the boy in South Carolina and kept
him at work. He whipped the boy and
the boy ran away, whereupon Strick-
land is said to have had him arrested
under the labor contract law. He then
had the boy released on his promise to
work out the matter, and has since
held the boyi his service, according to
the report. The boy complained to
some other negroes and they took the
matter up against Strickland.
Strickland's bond was fixed at $500
and the boy was placed in Jail to await
the hearing, being held as witness at
81 day.

New Orleans, Aug. 19. 9.-Summing up
results of the campaign to date, DR..
Beverly Warner said today that it was
the opinion of the health authorities
that while the fever is not said to be
under control, it is being controlled,
and that the chances are that there is
no longer danger of a serious epidemic.
DR.. Warner added that it was DR..
Whites opinion that if it had not been
for the splendid volunteer work which
had been done by the citizens in screen
ing and oiling and in taking other pre-
cautions recommended by the Local
health authorities, New Orleans today
would probably be in the throes of an
epidemic as devastating as were some
of those of previous years.
A party of forty-seven Italians has
reached the city over the Mississippi
Valley road. When they reached the
union station they were detained and a
report of their presence there tele-
phoned to central headquarters. The
Italians said that they had been chased
out of the towns east of Baton Rouge,
many of them with shotguns. They
tried to leave the train at different
points on the way down, but were pre-
vented from doing so. AS there was no
sickness among them they were permit
ted to scatter over the city.
DR.. Victor Keene, health officer Of
Indianapolis, who came south to look
over the situation because there is an
element in his city which believes quar-
antine should be put on, left here today.
DR.. Keene said the people of New Or
leans were the sanest and calmest peo-
pie found anywhere between here and
Chicago.
Beyond the statement that the daily
figures continue to present evidence
that the modern scientific campaign ir
progress is controlling yellow fever,
the officers in charge of the work had
no comment to make today.
