LUCAS-MILLIKEN
CASE is ARGUED.
Arguments We're Made at Asheville
Before Judge Pritchard Who
Reserved His Decision.

Asheville, N. c., Sept. 16. -Argu-
ment was concluded before Judge
Pritchard this afternoon in the United
States Circuit Court on the rule to show
cause why w. e. Lucas, president and
treasurer of the Laurens, S. c., Cotton
Mills, should not be enjoined from fur
ther proceedings in the State Courts of
South Carolina against Deering Milliken
q Co, of New York, and also why the
present board of directors of the cotton
mill should not be removed.
Although Judge Pritchard did not
formally deliver his decision, he plainly
stated that he was of the opinion that
the compliments are in no danger of
suffering irreparable injury at the
hands of the present management, and
that if injured they should seek relief
upon legal and not equitable grounds
A decision along these lines, refusing to
remove the present board of directors,
will probably be delivered ina few days.

JOHN EVANS GUILTY.
The Case of the State Against Powell
Baldwin and Others May be
Called Tomorrow.

The fall term of General Sessions
Court was convened at 10 O'Clock Mon
day morning with Judge w. r. Mem
minger of Charleston presiding. Solici-
tor Cooper, Stenographer Aull, Clerk
NSolt and Sheriff Duckett were at their
respective places and the machinery of
the Court was promptly put in motion.
This is Judge Memminger's first ap-
pearance at the Laurens Court since
his election to the bench last January.
He has made fine impression upon all
connected with the Court and his decis-
ions and rulings are prompt and always
clearly presented.
Monday several appeal cases from
Magistrates Court were disposed of
and in the afternoon John Evans was
tried and found guilty of manslaughter
with recommendation to mercy. Ev-
ans killed another negro, Geo. Gilliland
a few weeks ago in Dials township.
Self defense was his plea.
Yesterday three or four minor cases
were tried 1t was the expectation of
the Solicitor to call the case of the
State against Powell H. Baldwin and
others accused of the murder of Abe
Mcdaniel last April, in the afternoon,
but he had to leave at noon. 1t is
understood that the case will probably
come up Thursday.
Mr.. w. r. Richey is representing
the State in MIR. Cooper's absence.

things. He has insight and sees into
the heart of things. He is patient

ure to the interests Of the st.
Petersburg government to con-
clude peace at once.
Having received no word from
his government since the annihi-
la,ion of Rojestvensky's fleet
save the brief official dispatches
telling Of the engagement, Count
Cassini was unable to do more
than to give the president his
own personal opinions on the sit.
uation. The am basSador was
deeply tousbed by the sincere
cordiality of his reception and
the frank and friendly manner in
which the president spoke. He
could not see, however, that
there was anything in the pres
ent situation. unfortunate as it
undoubtedly was for his govern
ment, which necessitated Rus
STA S suing for peace.
AS to territory, he pointed out
that China and not Russia had
been the loser, Jor even Port
Arther was held only under lease.
On the sea, Russia had nothing
more to lose, he said. It was the
am bassador's firm opinion that
this was not the psychological
moment" ia which to discuss
peace with Japan. Whatever
might be the ultimate decision of
his government, he took the
ground that Russia could lose
nothing either by waiting or con-
tinuing the war on land.
The am bassador pointed out
that there was not the slightest
officialintimation from any source
as to Japan's probable terms and
that the demands as stated I'M
officially were "a!together impos-
sible." If Japan's terms should
prove anything like as severe as
they have been reported it was
the ambas sador's opinion that
Russia cou'd a~'ageously con-
tinue the >rr nIefiuitely and
eventually WIN d victory on land.
That his government would so
decide he did not wish to predict,
but at last accounts the emperor
was for a continuation Of the war.

With Count Cassini Concerning Over
whelrning Disaster to Russian Navy
and Urges on Behalf Of United
States That an Immediate
Termination Be Put
to Hostilities.
Cassini Speaks Unfavorably of the Proposal,
But Forthwith Transmits to the Gar the
Result of the Conference.

Washington, June 2.-Th@ PRES
ident today struck a blow fol
peace in the far east. In a con
ference at the White House this
afternoon with Connt Cassini, the
Russian am hassadtr, the presi
dent expressed the earnest hope
that Russia would forthwith con.
clude peace with japan. Pro.
long ation of the war, he believes.
will not result in victory for the
Russian arms and can only serve
to increase Japan's demands and
render more difficult the drafting
of treaty of peace which the
car as we'll as the mikado car
sign.
The president spoke, he said,
as the friend of Russia no less
than of Japan and on behalf not
only of the Washington govern
ment, but in the interest of hui
manity.
The president informed the
am bassador that in expressing
hope for an early peace, he voiced
not only his strong personal SEN
timents and those of hrs govern
ment, but be believed these were
held by all of the powers. His
opinion was that it would be a
mistake for Russia to continue
the war. In addition 10 the suf-
feling entailed by the naval con-
f1ict, be did not believe that Rus
Ella has anything to win in pro-
longing hostilitjes. The presi-
dent did not enter details, but the
personal character of the CONVEX
sation and his long acquaintance
with Count Cas>ini enabled him
to talk plainly regarding the de-
cisive character of the Japanese
victories.
What Japan's proba bic peace
terms will be the president was
wholly unable to say, but he did
not hesitate to express the opln-
ion that difficult as these condi-
tons might prove in the light OF
such a victory as that gained in
the Korean straits, they would
increase in severity with every
day that state of was continued.
Unless Russia has substantial
hope of administering decisive
defeat to Japan in this war, the
president believed it would in
