is found to be entitled an the result Of
their examination. Messrs. Fox and
Mcfarland have been instructed to put

Whether the proposal regarding the

that the negotiations were conducted

Washington, June 20. At the re-
quest Of the president Baron Speck
Won NJ. Sternberg, the German ambas-
sador, called at the White house Sun
day night at lime o'clock and remained
with the president for more than an
hour. He came to Washington to see
the president and will return to Deer
Park Monday. His visit was the only
outward sign of activity In the peace
negotiations. It is understood that
Sunday brought no progress In the
negotiations. Russia has not yet an
nounced her plenipotent!aries. Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador, Sun
cay received several cablegrams signed
by Count Lansdorff, from which II is
inferred here that the foreign minis
ter's indisposition' Is disappearing.
So far as Japan's plenipotentiaries
are concerned the president will be
able to announce them as soon as he
receives the names Of the Russian en-
oys. That Mr.. Takahira, the Japa-

President Is Informed of Their APP
pOintment by Russia.
KOMURA and TAEAHIRA TO Be NAMED
announcements Are Not OhiclaI, But
Believed to BE Authenticate
ArmiAtic Likely at
Present.

Washington, June 27.-Russia has
given reinsurance Of ifs intention in
the peace negotiations by placing the
president In possession Of the tentative
selection Of her plenipotentiaries, as
follows: M Nelidoff, the Russian am
bassador at Paris, and Baron Rosen,
the newly appointed Russian ambassa-
dor at Washington. Russia thus hay-
ing taken the initiative it is believed
Mr.. Takahira, the Japanese minister
during his call at the White house
Monday informally told the president
that Japan's selections, also tentative,
were Baron Komura, the Japanese min
lister for foreign affairs, and Kogoro
Takahira, the Japanese minister at
Washington.
Oficial announcement Of the names
Of the plenipotentiaries is withheld for
several reasons. M. Nelidoff's health
may not permit him to make the trip
and pressure of Official work may ne
cessitate the presence In Toxic Of
Baron Komura. Mr.. Takahira and
Baron Rosen are regarded as the GER
families and the belief is that unless
something unforeseen should occur,
both Russia and Japan will consent to
the official announcement of the per-
sonnet Of the Washington conferece
within a few days. In any event both
missions will consist Of many advis-
ers, including army and possibly naval
officers and officials from the foreign
Offices in Toxic and st. Petersburg. 1t
is expected that altogether each mis-
sion may number ten or twelve. Should
six plenipotentiaries be chosen, both
Russia and Japan have names under
consideration which will enable them
to announce their plenipotentiaries
without delay.
In recognition Of his services during
the preliminary negotiations and In
view Of the high official rank Of the
Russian plenipotentiaries 1t is believed
that the official announcement Of Mr..
Takahiras appointment will be follow
ed by his elevation to the rank Of am
bassador. In view of the fact that
Japan intends when the war is over
to elevate her legations at Washing
ton. London, Berlin, Paris, Vienna,
st. Petersburg and Rome to embassies,
It Is believed Mr.. Takahira's elevation
would be permanent. While 1t is not
certain that he will be given ambas-
rank nor is 1t necessary to
his appointment as a plenipotenuary.
officials Of the American government
point out that this would be the reg
uIar and expected course for the jap
anese government to follow.

James Harper Cut John Haywood,
Who Later Died.

Who Later Died.
At log-rolling near Insmoce on
April Sth, James Harper cut John
Haywood, both colored, with an AK,
and Haywood died last Thursday
from the effects of the wound.
Wlliskey flowed freely at the log
rolling, and the two men engaged
in a quarrel over a trivial matter.
Harper struck Haywood, who in
turn seized an ak and attacked his
antagonist. Harper turned and
fed and Haywood followed him
some distance before the AK was
taken from him. Thinking the
trouble was over those who in
terfered laid the AK on the ground
and returned to work. Suddenly
Harper picked up the AK and, rush
ing upon Haywood, cut him
through the upper portion of the
hip.
Harper was given preliminary
trial and released OIL a $1,000 bond,
thinking Haywood would recover.
But last Thursday Haywood died,
and Harper, hearing of his death,
ran away, and is now at large.

Dunbar Rowland, the state his

Cured in this section of the coun-
try until the days of secession.
This material is entirely new, and
there are some exceedingly inter
esting reports made by state Off

While, unfortunately, none of

contains positive evidence of Burr's
suilt, they throw much light upon
lis character and relate circumstan-
es which would not have occurred
