The Attack on Japanese.

Washington, May 28.-Seeretary
Root today received the following tele-
gram-from the governor of California,
in reply to an inquiry relative to an at
tack on Japanese in San Francisco last
Tuesday:
San Francisco, CAL, May 27.-Your
telegram of March 25th, concerning as
sault made upon Japanese, received.
Will call attention of chief of police of
San Francisco at once to your telegram
and request him to use every effort to
protect these people. Think the assaults
were largely due to uncertain conditions
existing in San Francisco by reason of
the labor trouble.
81. N. GILLETT."
The State Department has taken no
further action in the matter as yet, but
will undoubtedly communicate Governor
Gillett's telegram to the japanese en-
bassy, and the belief is expressed that
1t will satisfactorily meet their COM
plant.
At the cabinet meeting today Attor-
torney General Bonaparte laid before
the President and Secretary Root the
report of District Attorney Devlin, of
San Francisco, on the alleged assault on
Japanese residents of that city. The re-
port, Mr.. Bonaparte says, shows that
the first stories of the alleged assault
were exaggerated and that the difficulty
appeared to be lack of police protec-
tion on account Of the street car trou-
bles. Secretary Root took the report
with him, and if any further action is
taken, it will be by the state depart
ment.

Japanese Look to Roosevelt.

Toxic, May 2s.-The Japanese press
is still generally calm and reserved over
the apparently unprovoked attack upon
Japanese in San Francisco, but it is only
out of Difference to President Roosevelt
and his government and the confidence
reposed in them that public expression
of resentment is withheld. Even the
most conservative and hopeful fear that
repetition of the occurrence may have
serious results on the relations Of both
countries, However, at present, the
frmest friendliness is still expressed. 1t
is confidently hoped that the Washing
ton government has decided TO take
measures that will prevent repetitions
of assaults and attacks on Japanese.

MEREDITH LOSES JOB
Friend of Ke nnedY Succeeded by Anti
Kennedy Man.

Richmond, Va, May 2s.-The state
board Of education met tonight in the
rooms of the department of agriculture,
for the purpose of selecting a successor
to Charles v. Meredith, of this city,
whose term of Office has expired. Ed
mund Pendleton was elected to the po-
sition over Egbert G. Leigh, Jr., Leigh
r. Page, and the incumbent, whose
name was aiso advanced for reelection.
There was opposition to Meredith on
account of his position in the library
matter and his support of Librarian
John P. Kennedy, who has attained un-
popularity with the people and with his
assistants and employees.
Meredith was a member of the ma
jority of the board who stood with Ken
nedy and refused to accept his resigna-
tion when it was offered some weeks
ago.
The legislative committee which made
an investigation into the dealings of
Kennedy in manuscript and supply
books, has not yet made its report.
The new member of the board is
known to oppose Kennedy. He will now
stand with the old minority members,
who will thus become majority, and
there is little doubt but that the librar-
ian will lose his official head.
Pendleton is editor of the Evening
Journal, a daily afternoon publication
which has openly opposed Kennedy
throughout.

A Terrible Tragedy

On last Friday afternoon, at about 2
O'Clock, James C. Gabriel was stabbed
to death by Robt Golf. The tragedy
occurred in Plum Greek Gap, about half
way between the residence of Mr.. VIM.
A. Leece and the old mill. Both men
were employees of the Quigley Furniture
Company at it's operation in the head
of Poor Valley. Gabriel was an expert
mechanic and held the position of head
mechanic for the company. He had
been to Bluefield and was on his way
back to the lumber mills in Poor Valley.
He and Jas. Mutter had come to Taze-
well from Bluefield on the morning
train. Gof had driven a team of the
company to the station to take load of
machinery to Poor Valley. Gabriel and
Mutter fell in with him at the station
and were travelling in and with Golf
back to the saw mills.
AT the time of the stabbing Golf was
driving the wagon and Gabriel was sit
ting by him on bail of hay. Mutter
was walking Immediately behind the
wagon, with his hand resting on the
coupling pole. A. B. Williams, of Lit
tie Valley, was riding Immediately in
the rear of the wagon. He and Mutter
were the only witnesses to the tragedy.
1t has not yet been told what passed
between Gabriel and Goff before the
latter made the assault. He sprang
upon Gabriel with knife and cut him
in three places. The fatal wound was
3 or inches long Just over the lung
and heart, and penetrated both of those
organs. There was another shallow
wound about the center of the breast,
and one on the left leg near the knee.
Gabriel died in few moments after the
fatal stab was given.
The news of the killing was conveyed
to Commonwealth Attorney T. c.
Bowen, and he sent Sheriff Harman and
Deputy Sheriff Peery promptly to the
scene. But Golf had fled and concealed
himself as soon as he realized what he
had done. AS there were witnesses to
the crime no inquest was necessary. and
the remains We're brought to town that
evening and taken to the undertaking
establishment of Peery G. st. Clair.
Mr.. Gabriel was a widower with three
children, one daughter and two sons.
They were living in Poor Valley, were
promptly notified of their fathers death
and came over to Tazewell that night.
On Saturday afternoon the body was
buried in the new cemetery here.

WHOLE NATION MOURNS
AN IRREPARABLE LOSS
Mrs. Ada SaxtOn Mckinley, Wife of
Mariyred President, Suceumbs to
Grim Reaper-End Came at
l:O5 O'clock on Sunday
Afternoon.

Mrs. William Mckinley, wife of the
martyred president, died at her home at
Canton, Ohio, at los O'Clock Sunday
afternoon. Mrs. Mckinley had been an
invalid for several years, but for the
past few days it was known that her
life was hanging on a mere thread, and
at the hour named above the gentle
spirit took it's fight to see and adore
that God whom her soul loved.
Mrs. Mckinley was the daughter of
James A. and Catherine DeWalt Sax
ton, and was married Jar uary 25, 1871,
to William Mckinley. Her father was
a banker of large means, who, after
giving Ada, his youngest daughter,
many advantages in education and
travel, began her business training as
cashier in his bank. At this time Mr..
Mckinley was superintendent of the
Methodist Sunday school and his bride
was teacher in the Presbyterian. Two
daughters were born to them-Katie.
on Christmas, 1871, and Ida in 1873
but both were lost in early childhood.
Mrs. McKinley's health, not robust at
any time, never has rallied from the
terrible blow of these two deaths in
quick succession. Her comfort, her
wish, her happiness, under every con-
ceivable circumstance, was her hus-
bands first thought and constant con-
Germ. At home no hour passed that he
did not see her; and she rewarded this
homage with all the intensity of a
proud, ardent, unselflsh affection.

AN INDICTMENT
AGAINST LOVING
Nelson County Grand Jury Returns True
Bill in the Estes Murder Case.
JUDGE BARKSDALE is
ASKED TO MOVE TRIAL
Change Of Venue-DeeisiOn TOday-De-
fendant Released on $4,000 Bail-Miss
Loving the Object Of Special Sympathy.

Lovingston, Va, May pa true bill
was today returned against Judge Will
liam Loving for the murder of Theodore
Estes, by the grand jury. 1t was the
same jury that was dismissed yesterday
that reconvened this morning. 1t was
in session less than an hour and heard
but three witnesses. The two negro
1aborers who saw the shooting and DIR.
Tunstall, who examined young Estes
body.
After some brief argument the de-
fendant was arraignsd,
The indictment was in the usual form
and Judge Loving, while it was being
read, seemed perfectly collected and
cool, looking steadfastly into the face
of the clerk.
After some brief argument on the
question of bail, the matter was post
poned and the reading OF affidavits on
the motion of a change of venue was
begun. The first of these was by Judge
Loving himself and deals with the high
standing and wide popularity of Sheriff
Issues, Jlc ldIucf VI tflc SIAM LleAL1, anu
Mr.. Kidd, clerk of court, his uncle.
Miss Loving seems to be the object of
special sympathy because of the fearful
predicament in which she will be placed
on the witness stand.
The case is turning strongly on what
she told her father and mother that led
to the shooting.
Judge Loving was this afternoon re-
leased on bail, the bail being fixed at
ten thousand dollars, which is double
the amount fixed at the previous trial.
In the argument this afternoon it was
very strongly brought out that because
OF the intense feeling in the case it
would be impossible for Judge Loving
ito obtain fair trial in Nelson county.
Judge Barksdale took the matter of a
change of venue under consideration.
He will render his decision tomorrow.
