Witte Was Urged.

St. Petersburg. July 1O-The Asso- ciated Press has high warrant for the statement that M. Witte, President of the Committee of Ministers, has been strongly urged upon the Emperor for the head of the peace mission. Even Foreign Minister Lamsdorff Is under stood to have joined in recommending his selection. The Emperor, however, datly declined to appoint him and af ter M. Nelidoff, Ambassador at Paris pleaded illness. his majesty personal ly chose M. Muravieff, the Ambassa dor at Rome Two of the five counsel lors to the plenipotentiaries, M Poko- tiloff, Minister to China, and NJ. Ship of. director of the imperial treas ury and former president of the gem stvos, are distinctly witte men.
 NJ. Muravieff. while personally con- sidered a very able and shrewd man. has had little experience in diplomacy and none :n Far Eastern affairs and therefore he probably will be com pelled to largely rely on Baron Rosen, the Ambassador at Washington, the other pIenipotentiary, and M. Pokoti- loff. both of whom have the situation at their finger-tips.
 The Emperor has received from General Linevitch another very optim- istic dispatch on the military situation and the section of the court party still favorable to a continuation of the war is making much of 1t. According to the Rossips of the imperial entourage. the Empress is opposing the conclu- sion of peace.

willingness to conclude m armistice pending the result of the Washington conference. Japan. % far as known to the Russian government, has not de- signed to reply to the President's noti- hcation.
 when the question of an armistice was first broached by the President. it Is understood that Japan indica- ted that she would decline to agree to a suspension of hostilities when the plenipotentiaries met Russia agreed in principle 70 this as a basis for the negotiations. Since then the Russian government feels that 1t has given ample proof of its desire to con- clude peace and 1t is possible that 1t may go step farther. but the im- pression here is that now that the Japanese have made a .descsnt on the island of sakhaltn they are determined to get the island firmly in their grasp before. the negotiations begin.
 This is an easy task. as the small Russian force on the island Is in no position to contest it's occupation. In addition to marines and Infantry. the Japanese landed artillery and cavalry. The latter are moving rapidly north. The presumption here is that the Rus sian troops will clear out without fighting, crossing to Alexandrovosk. on the mainland.

The PIaee PIcturevsue.

Portsmouth, N. H., July 10.--Rear Ad- miral Mead, who Is in command of tho navy yard. said that having had no in timation that the peace conferences would be held at the navy yard he could not at this time tell what arrangements would be made for their accomodatf0n.
 The new general store building, just completed, is the largest and most im-. posing of any in the yard. being four stories in height and of ample dimen- sions. It Is of brick and brown stone and at present Is unoccupied. Rear Admiral Mead said that it could readily be furnished for the needs of the con- ferees. The location of the navy yard is one offering all the advantages of northern summer resort It occupies an island in the Piscataqua River almost In the ocean. Its view com- mands the wide mouth of the river. which Is the boundary between Maine and New Hampshire and forms Ports mouth harbor. The shores are dotted here and there with cottages and farm houses. while nurnf Der of hotels on either the Maine or the New Hampshire shore are easily accessible.
 As the sessions are to be held within the navy yard the envoys may have as much sec1usion as they desire. as none can gain admission to the yard without permission.

May Be Prosecution.

Oyster Bay. N. Y., July 10.-It is re- garded here as not unlikely that crim- inal prosecution may result from the investigation of the cotton report leak in the Department of Agriculture. The subject has not yet been presented to the President In formal way, although he Is familiar with most of the details of the inquiry. United States District Attorney Beach of Washington, was of the opinion after a cursory examina- ton of a part of the evidence adduced in the investigation. that a criminal proceeding would not lie against As distant Statistician Holmes. who is ad- judged to have profited by giving ad- vance information of the condition of the cotton crop to certain brokers. The Department of Justice Is not inclined to accept this view of the case. While no decision to institute criminal pro- ceedings has been reached, the subject Is being considered by Attorney Moody, who later will take the matter up with the President.
 No visitors of importance had en- agreements to see the President today. After the President had taken his usual morning exercise and plunge in the bay, he took up with Secretary Loeb an accumulation of official business. devot- nR several hours to 1t.

Miller,s Request ReHfused.

Washington, July 1o.---Seeretnry Wilson will adhere to the practice now in vogue at the Department of Agri- culture in having only tha statisti~ cians,e himself or the assistast Secre- tary present when the monthly cotton reports are being prepared for pubii- ca tion. He made this plain today in a dispatch to President Miller of the American Cotton Manufacturers As sociation now at Charlotte. N. C., who telegraphed the Secretary that If the representative of any organization in- terested in cotton was to appear be- fore the Department when the August cotton report was being prepared. his organization also desired representa- tfon.
 The Secretary promptly talegraphed MT. Miller that no one except the sta tisticians, himself or the assistant Sec retary would be present when the re- port was being prepared. Secretary Wilson says he can see no reason why this practice should be changed. Mir Hays, the assistant Secretary, will be present tomorrow when the July re- port Is being prepared. taking the place of Secretary Wilson. who has other business on hand. The same will be the case at the preparation of the August report, when Secretary Wilson will be in the West.
 Secretary Wilson said tonight that there have been but few exceptions to the rule now followed and these oc- cured only when the Secretary was anxious that some representative in Congress should observe the method adopted by the Department in the preparation of the reports.

Washington. July l0.--ThAt Secretary Wilson intends to take no step back ward in his report on the cotton leak investigation was evidenced today by his statement that he was not afraid of any libel suit which might be filed against him by Mir. Price or others mem tioned in the report. In fact he said he would welcome such action because it might be the means of developing such facts not already uncovered. and which 1t was desirable to know.
 This IS a quarrel among gamblers" he said, brought about bys the dissat- isfaction of some of them inSnot getting what they thought was their due. have nothing to take back. As the head of an executive department of tho Government 1t was my duty and right to give to the public the result of the Investigation by secret service agents into the charges which had been filed leading up to the dismtssal of Mr. Holmes"
 The Secretary added that he had given consideration to MT. Prices re- quest as presented through his attor- ney, William m M. Ivans of New York, ito withdraw the unjust. offensive and un- sustained charges and implications" and had reached the determination to take no further action in the matter. He said he would not communicate with Mir. Price or his attorney in any way.
 In view of the opinion by the United States District Attorney that criminal prosecution against Holmes would not lie, Secretary Wilson intimated that he would suggest to President Roosevelt in recommendation to Congress that leg islation be enacted to cover cases of similar character involving a breach of trust

Married Under Difficulties

The Riverside correspondent of the
Rockbridge News says: Mr.. Lewis
Tyree and Miss A manda Robson OF
near Corn wall, we're married in Buena
Vista Thursday by Rev. E. NJ. Powell.
The girls father, Jdlnss Robson, OBJ
jected to the marriage and to fOrestall
it locked up her clothes; but she being
of age left home on Wednesday, and
after borrowing some clothes and the
groom buying her some they went to
the homo of Rev. E. M. Powell. To
their dismay he was not at home but
was in Buena Vista cutting stone for
an abutment of a bridge on the Nor
folk & Western railroad. Thursday
they went to Buena Vista and were
married in the stonemason's camp cars
The bride said that climbing up into
the car scared her more than getting
married. Both bride and groom wer'
raised on Irish creek. Friday they
went to the magistrate to get warran
to regain the brides clothes and ther'
they met her father who was wanting
a warrant for them.

FAREWELL TO THE FLAG.

Last week the SPECTATOR told OF an
effort about to be made to remove the
Confederate flag of the 1st Maryland
cavalry from the Soldiers Home to the
State House at Annapolis. The Bal.
timore Sun of the 22d has the follow
ing to say.
The editorial was shown to Gen. A.
G. Trippe yesterday. The General
said the question of removing the bat
tie flags Ut the First Maryland cavalry
from the Confederate Home IN Pixies.
vile to the State House at Annapolis
had never been formally presented to
the Confederate veterans.
There is little probability that any
of the flags there will be removed
while the home stands" added Gen.
Trippe. when there ceases to be q
use for the home the question of the
disposal of the flags will arise, and
can imagine no better place for them
then than the room which has been
dedicated for the preservation of rel
les in the State House, where repro
duction of the Mount Royal avenue
monument has been placed in one Of
the windows.
"As far as the latter part of the edi
torial Is concerned, no Virginia vete
ran who fought ID the ranks OF the
gray would think of saying that th'
memory of the days when those flag
were used, or the flags themselves, il
less dear than they ever were. Mary
land has built too many monument
and SHOWN the fond regard in which
she holds the Confederate soldier too
often for anyone to question the 10y
atty of her one time Confederates t.
those memories
1t will be noted that Gen. Trip
says the question has never been fol
mally presented to the Confederat
veterans" But we have learned fror
very reliable sources that the sizes Q
the flags had been asked for so tina
cases could be made for them by th
State. Possibly the Confederate vel
Grams would never be formally aske
about it, a few "since the war" officer
taking hold of the subject and arranl
ing it for them.

An incident occurred in Congress
last week which seems likely to cause
trouble in Democratic ranks. A rider
was placed on the army appropriation
bill which John Sharp Williams claim
ed was placed there for the sole pur
pose of cutting down the salary of Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, who as retired
army officer has accepted position
under Gov. Douglas of Massachusetts,
rs commander of the State militia.
This position is paying one. After
the charge had been made and when ii
was shown that Gen. Miles was about
the only retired officer who could suffer
from the bill, il was made a party
question. On q vote, however, thu
Democrats deserted Mr.. Williams il
rather an ignomiDious fashion. 1t ii
now claimed that he will resign al
minority leader, and he cannot b.
blamed if this is to be taken as sam
pie Of what is to follow hereafter.

which crimsoned the snow in the
streets of st. Petersburg does not so
much conc ern the world, as the fact
that blood was spilled under such clr'
cumstances. The idea has gone ABROAD
some how that Russians are humane
people, that In their battle with the
Japanese the fight is the fight OF the
Christian against the Pagan. civiliza-
ton against barbarity or half civiliza

today in Russia is impossible in Japan.
1t ought to be impossible in any coun

one thing remains for Russia. Either
she must liberalize her government or
her country will sooner or later be torn
by Revolution, the head Of her Gear DC

family, grand dukes and arlstocracy
be driven from her domain. The day
