WASHINGTON WATCHING DEVEL
oPMENTS IN FAR EAST.
NOT FOR BEST INTEREST
Domination of Any one Influence Over
China Disadvantaeeous to This
! Country.

Chicago, April 12.-Walter Well
nnn, in Washington special to the
| Re,ord-Herald says:
President Roosevelt and the Amer
1canl government are carefully watch
Ing the development of Japanese pow
q id the far east. Since the presi
dnt left Washington on his western
ttur, and since his recent efforts to
make peace between Japan and Rus
sk. were made known, members o1
tip diplomatic corps have been engag
ed in a most animated discussion as
to the motives which led the presl
delt to seek to hasten peace.
FIt was Vat first generally supposed
MI Roosevelt had been actuated Who'll
lylby motives of humanity, that he
waA Mortified at the slaughter in the
far east, and that he deemed it hope
less for Russia to continue offering
sucl dread sacrifices ION the altar Of d
stubborn pride. 1t now appears that,
whih this was one of the reasons for
the presidents efforts to promote
peace negotiations, it was not the only
one. The interest of the United
States in the far eastern situation
was q powerful factor.
Japan's Rise AWakens ANXIETY,
"The administration has not viewed
with sTenity the rise OF Japan as the
predominant power in the orient, and
it does not regard it for the best inter-
ests of the United States, either polit-
ically O. commercially, that the exist
ing equilibrium should be violently
disturbed. Under the leadership OF
Secretary Hay the administration op-
posed the Russian eastern policy dur
ing the lsst few years, because it was
believed the domination of Russia
over China threatened to place seri-
GUS obstacles in the way of American
trade in China and throughout Asia
generally. A fair equilibrium with no
single power absolutely predominant
seemed to the Washington govern
ment the best for all concerned, and
best more particularly for the devel-
opment of American trade in that re-
gion and the protection of American
interests in the Pacific and it's west
ern littoral
Sympathy Is Shifting. I
"The sympathies of the American
people as we'll as of nearly all the Of
fcials of the federal government have
been notoriously with Japan up to the
present time But now a change is
noticeable here at the national capd-
tai, at least.
"There is a growing feeling that
Japan is acquiring altogether too
much power and the future of our
commerce in the far east and of our
political relations to that region is a
problem in which new and most po-
tent factors are appearing.
"The amazing success of Japan in
her struggle with Russia promises ul-
timately to substitute Japan for Rus
sia as the predominant far eastern
power, and the administration regards
one as disadvantageous to our inter
ests as the other

ASSASSINATION.
Prof. Emmett Roach Shot Down
BY an Unknown Assassin,

Fulton, KY, Oct. 5.--Prof. En-
nett Roach, one of the most promi
n ent educators and citizens in Fulton
county, was assassinated by two I'M
known white men at his house near
here last night about eleven o'clock.
Mr.. Roach had been to the meet
ing Of the Baptist Association at Lii
berty church, near his home and was
putting up his horse and buggy when
two men jumped from the stable and
opened FIRE. Several shots took eff
e ct which caused his death few mi
nutes later.
The family was attracted to the
stable by the shots and picked up the
wounded man and took him into the
house, where he lived forty-fve min
utes. During the time he regained
consciousness long enough to tell the
family..that he thought the men we're
white, as he saw them long enough
to determine whether or not they
werelwhite or black.
Bloodhounds were FASTENED to the
scene Of the crime from Milan, Tenn.
and Immediately put on the track and
the chase began, and 1t is thought
that the men will be captured.
The murder is thought to be pure
ly from enmity and not for purposes
of robbery, as no effort was made to.
ward robbing Roach.
The theory is advanced that the
murder is the result of relatives OF
two boys whom Roach reproved al
church few nights ago for misbeha.
vior.
The murder has aroused the whole
country surrounding the home of MI
Roach, and every effort will be made
to capture the guilty men.
Roach is about forty years Of age
and is survived by young wife. He
was prominent in democratic politics
in Fulton county and made the race
for county school superintendent n
few years ago and was defeated by a
woman by,a few votes.

Called Back.

San Francisco, Oct Wireless
telegraphy proved serviceable to the
Navy Department yesterday. The
cruiser Boston had left Mare Island
for Panama, to be gone eight months
and on board were twelve blue jack
cts who had three months to serve to
complete the time for which they
had enlisted. Down the river came
the cruiser and into the bay. She was
just heading for the Golden Gate
when the wireless telegraphy sounder
on board began a message to the cap
tain ordering him to transfer the
short term men to a, navy tug about
to be dispatched from Mare Island
with dozen long termers on board
to take their places. The Boston i'm
mediately came to anchor off Angel,
Island, transferring the men when
the tug came alongside, and then re-
suned her voyage.

A CANNERY.
Notice to the Farmers and Truck
Gardeners.

Mr.. X. w. Wilson has purchased
the old Dewey mill, including the lot
and boiler and engine, and will con-
vert it into a cannery. He will buy
the latest and most approved machin-
cry and will put it in first class shape
for canning tomatoes, corn, pump
kins, Okra, old fashioned lye hominy
aud other farm products. This is an
enterprise much needed in Marion,
ope the numerical club has been en-
deavoring to interest foreign capital
ip for some time. We have home
talent and home capital to manage
such an enterprise, and the city is to
be congratulated in having il on foot.
Hundreds Of boys and girls will be
given employment, thousands paid
out in wages and for vegetables TO
farmers all of whom should at once
patti themselves in line to raise the
things needed. Nothing pays SO we'll.
a man without assistance can cult |
vate more tomatoes than he can corn,
wheat or tobacco. He gets more
money out of it per acre, and gets it
sooner. Tomatoes are harvested in
july and August and cash received
for them, whereas tobacco is on hand
until late in the winter and spring.
These things should be considered by
our farmers.

was democratic. Nor did any one
else know that, Mr.. Henderson; but
you charged that it was democratic,
and when we showed the record and
proof that there were seven republi-
cans upon the grand jury and only
five democrats, it is not to be wond-
cred at that you declare that you did
not know that tho grand jury was
democratic. Why did you say it was
democratic? Why did you not go to
the records, which are kept in the
Office adjoining yours, and you could
have ascertained that the grand jury
was not democratic, rs you charged,
but was republican, as the records

FISCAL COURT
Called Back to Make Levy Tax
Rate for Next Year Csc.

At the fiscal court, which adjourn
ed last Wednesday, the question
came up as TO whether or not W,
should reduce the tax rate for the
coming year. Our county attorney
being present suggested to the mem
bers of the fiscal court that they had
no right to make the levy until after
the supervisors had supervised the
accounts, which does not meet until
January, 1906. Therefore the fiscal
court adjourned without making any
levy at all, Notwithstanding they
had made appropriations amounting
to several thousand dollars; among
the rest 900 was appropriated to
build a new bridge over the Hurri-
cane creek at the Bill Barnes place,
and 1850 was appropriated to build a
new bridge on Meadow creek, near
Sumner Woodson's, and appointed a
committee to draw the money and
have same built. When the fact was
made known to some parties who have
been accustomed to furnish money
on such occasions, they readily in
formed said commissioners that they
could not furnish the money until
the fiscal court made the levy out of
which it was to be paid Therefore
the county judge very wisely called |
the members of the said court to meet
in Marion Oct. 9, 1905, for the pur-
pose of fixing the county levy for the
year 1906. In obedience to said call |
the fiscal court met in the county |
judges office, all Of the members be-
ing present and the county attorney
also being present. After the court
had stated the object Of the call, the
county attorney again insisted that
the court had no right to make the
county levy until January but the
question was submitted to a vote and |
FIVE members voted for making the
county levy now and three against
it, Then Mr.. Tom Hard, member
for Dycusburg district, offered a mo-
ton to keep the tax rate at 40c on
one hundred dollars worth of proper
ty; the vote was taken as follows:
For the motion: I. NJ. LaRue, p.
G. Moore, G.. f. Williams and Tom
Hard.
Against the motion: T. VI. Dean,
George Hughes, L. B. Phillips, j.
r. Postlethwait.
Resulting in a tie. Then it was
up to the county judge, who voted
against the motion; after which l..
b Phillips moved to fix the county
levy at 25cts. ON the one hundred
dollars worth of property. Those
voting for this motion were Dean,
Hughes, Phillips and Postlethwaite,
the other four voting against it re-
sulting in tie, when Judge Towery
readily gave his vote for the motion.
After fixing the railroad tax for
Marion precinct at 20 cts. on the
one hundred dollars worth of proper
ty the court adjourned.
