tol and commenced shooting at Viii
liams, Being unarmed William ran
some distance to the store of A. l.

shots took effect. When William
reached the store he ran in and grabb-
ed up a shot gun and as Barnes en-
tered, reloading his pistol, Williams
fired upon him, through a screen door
The first shot took effect in the breast
and as Barnes turned Williams fired
again, the load entering the back
Barnes died instantly.
Williams claims that he acted il
self defense and made no effort to es
cape, notifying the sheriff's Office here
of his intention to give himeslf up anG
his desire for a speedy preliminary
hearing.

frank and friendly manner in vhicl
the president spoke. He could ndf ser
however, that there was anything ir
the present situation, unfortunatems il
undoubtedly is for his governnAent
which riecessitated Russia's suing fol
peace. As to territory he pointed out
that China and not Russia had peer
the loser, for even Port Arthur was
held only under lease. On the sea
Russia had nothing more to lose he
said. Ii was the ambassadors firm
opinion that this was not the pyseho-
logical moment in which to discuss
peace with Japan. Whatever might be
the ultimate decision of his govern
ment, he took the ground that Russia
could lose nothing either by waiting
or by continuing the war on land
Hope of Victory.
There was hope yet for a victory Of
the Russian arms, and in any event
Russia had not yet lost one foot OF
territory nor was the Russian frontier
endangered.
The ambassador pointed out tAat
there was not the slightest official sn-
timation from any source as to Ja-
pans probable terms, and that these
demands as stated unofiicially were
altogether impossible" If Japan 's
terms should prove anything like as
severe as they have been reported, it
was the ambassador opinion that
Russia could advantageously continle
the war Indefinitely and eventually win
victory on land. That his govern
ment would so decide he did not wish
to predict, but at last accounts the
Emperor was.for a continuation of the
war. Thus the conversation contiued
for more than half an hour, being
characterized throughout by frank
ness and friendliness.
When Count Cassini leaves Wash
ington for st. Petersburg, early in

sonal message from the president to
