Taft Leaves For lone.

Yokohama, By Cable-Secretary OF
War Taft and party sailed at 500
O'Clock Sunday afternoon for San
Francisco on the steamer Korea, amid
Japanese enthusiasm. A reception
was given at the American consulate
by Japanese merchants. Before sail
ing Secretary Taft said he thought
the reports of the Japanese anti-peace
demonstrations had been greatly ex-
aggerated in America. He and his
party had travelled all through Japan
and had found no trace Of any anti
foreign feeling. While prominent Am
ericans had been involved in a Toxic
mob, he thought it was because the
American party was caught in the
mob, and not because they were Amer
leans. Other churches besides Amer
ican churches had been burned.
There was several special reasons in
each case, but no general anti-foreign
feeling was responsible.
Secretary Taft said that he had eX-
amined the Chinese boycott closely.
The Chinese, he said, wanted Ameri-
can goods, and having already lost S15,-
100000 by the boycott, were finding
out that they were cutting off their
noses to spite their faces.
Miss Alice Roosevelt will return
home on the steamer Siberia.
The local situation continues quiet.

VESSELS SHOT into
Am.riean Fishermen Trespassing ia
Canadian Territory
DIT THIRTEEN 1iMtS IN FLEEING
American Fishing Steamer Has tx
citing Experience With Canadian
Cruiser Vigilant.

Erie. Pa. Special.-The fourth OF
the fish tug incidents of the past week
took place in mid-Lake Erie when the
Canadian cruiser Vigilant riddled the
big steam ting Harry G. Barnhart with
small shells from the rife on the pa
troll boat. Captain Nick Fassel, of the
tug, admitted after he escaped that the
Vigilant could have sent her to the bot
tom If Captain Dunn had so desired.
They ran more than eight miles un-
der full head before they crossed the
boundary line and escaped from the
Canadis.s. More than thirty shots
struck the vessel, and of those 15 of
the small shells landed with telling ef-
feet on the upper parts, SO that the
boat careened to one side with the
mass of wreckage when she came into
port. Having been used formerly for
a pleasure steamer, the Barnhurst is
of a large size and we'll fitted with
steam equipment. The fireman, Mag
nus Johnson, faited in the hold from
over-exertion is keeping the steamer
going ahead. He was reported killed,
but revived after reaching shore. The
fishermen were cut in the fact by
splinters shot away by the bullets.
The Barnhurst, according to Captain
Fassel, was about five miles over the
line drawing nets when the Vigilant
appeared. The other Erie tugs, the
Alma, Valiant and the Boyd, were
closer to the line and ran away when
the chase started. Captain Dunn Or
dered the Barnhurst to stop, but in
stead of doing so, Captain Fassei put
on full steam and started for the line.
He took a southwesterly direction and
could not be headed off by the Vigi-
liant.
1t has 1>ecome quite the custom for
the Erie fishermen to cross the line re-
gardless of strict orders from the COM
panies employing them, and having ex-
citing brushes with the Vigilance. They
never think of surrender when there
is a chance to run away. The Barn
hurst lost a large quantity OF nets.

IN A new BUSINESS
The WarIike Car of Russia Again
Sponsor For Universal Peace
THE ONLY ORIGINAL PEACEMAKER
Said to be a Perfect Understanding
Between the Gar and President
Roosevelt About Calling of the Ha-
guc Tribunal.

ST Petersburg, By Cable.-Emperor
Nicholas again appears before the
world as promoter of universal
peace. No sooner is the Russo-Japan-
csc war is over, and even before the
peace treaty has been ratified, than
his ma lnsty issues invitations to
second peace conference at The
Hague.
That he Emperor has done so was
learned from a source which leaves no
shadow Of doubt as to it's authenticity.
II IS officially announced that the
Russian government proposes to ad-
dress the foreign powers with a view
to the holding Of a second peace con-
ference at The Hague" but it Is
known that negotiations preceding
this announcement proposed to ad-
dre,5 the powers" were entered into
especially with the United States and
were conducted with the greatest Sc
crecy. there being not the slightest
thing of the kind.
The announcement created the
greatest surprise here, and that Rus
sia should plan a second conference
despite the steps already taken by
President Roosevelt, was also held
with amazement. 1t is clear that the
step could not be taken by Russia
without first reaching a complete un.
derstanding with President Roosevelt.
The fact that President Roosevelt
is reported us being entirely in SYM
pathy with the proposed conference,
TO the initiatOr of the first Hague con-
ference should belong the honor of
ccnvoking the second, and readily and
even gladly acceded to the Russian
proposal, is clear proof that the con-
ference has already been called and
that President Roosevelt relinquished
MS part in 1t to the Emperor.
There is strong reason to believe
that the news of the intention of the
Russian government would not be Civ
en- out unless invitations had already
been sent to the power, and possibly
that their answers had been received.
1t is impossible to learn the pro-
posed date of the second conference,
or TO gain even an approximate idea
regarding it; but it probably will not
De greatly delayed. Russia, as the
power cOnvoking the conference, will
probably submit an official program,
the other powers submitting sugges-
tiOns.

Christiana, BY Cable.-Peace be-
tween Sweden and Norway being as

News from Karlstadt, however, is
still awaited with the keenest interest,
and there is anxiety to learn the de-
tails of the compromise. The press
is unanimous in hoping for speedy
settlement of the questions There is
some misgivlngs entertained that
peace may have been bought too ear
ly, but all the newspapers express
relief that peace has been secured,
providing it is on an enduring basis.

NORTH CAROLINA CROP BULLETIN
"ea'ner conditions Given Out by the
Department Observer.

The North Caroline section Of the
climate and crop service Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture issues the
following official bulletin Of weather
and crop conditions for the past
week:
The weather for the past week was
characterized by warm DAYS and cool
nights; but the mean temperature
for the week has been about normal.
The only rain of any consequence fell
on the 18th and 18th and was very
beneficial to all crops. The weather
In general has been very favorable
for picking cotton, saving fodder,
meadow and pea vine hay. Farmers
IN all parts of the State have been
ready to plow land for fall planting
hut the ground has been too drv in
most places; i'll some few places, how
ever, some wheat, rye and oats have
been sown.
There has been no improvement in
the cotton crop during the past week.
The warIn, dry weather caused it to
open rapidly, and in some places pre-
maturely. The crop will nowhere be
more than fair, and in places it will
be very light. 1t is generally re-
ported that there will be no top crop
owing to shedding; many correspon-
dents state that the bolls are small
and the lint short; in south-central
counties and in the extreme north
eastern portion the bolls are opening
nrematurely, owing 40 rust; army
worms are doing considerable damage
to late cotton IN Beaufort, Craven,
Jones and Duplin counties.
Tobacco curing is completed in the
eastern portion of the State. In the
central district the crop is reported
improved and in good condition, ex-
cept in Rockingham county where
some tobacco is badly burnt and
spected; cutting and curing is in
progress Lnd the tobacco is curing
well; the color and texture are good,
but the leaf light weight. In the
western portion some slight damage
by worms is reported
Corn improved during the past
week, but late corn in some places
suffered from drought. and some cor
respondents report that it will not ma
ture; q poor crop is expected in the
eastern, while the prospects are for
good crops in the western and central
portions. Fodder has been about all
secured III the eastern and central dis
gress. The saving Of pea vine hay
is under way and good yields are be-
ing secured. Glover was benefited
by the rains and is looking good
White potatoes have improved and
digging is in progress in the west;
sweet potatoes are doing well and A
good crop is promised. Peanuts, turn
ips and beans are generally reported
good; cabbages are poor; the sorg-
ham crop is i'll goood condition and in
places molasses making is under way.
The buckwheat crop will be good.
Apples are reported good in some
of the western counties, but there is
complaint of dropping and of dry rot.
Pastures are fair
The following rains have been re-
ported: Raleigh, O.10; Goldsboro,
