TIE SPLIT IN TIE FIFTH.

The reelection Of Representative
Saunders in the Fifth is practically
assured. Though the reports from
that district have foreshadowed a
Democratic triumph. the news that the
Republican Insurgents of the Firth
will hold conference at Martinsville
on September 90 to organize the pro-
gressive wing of their party justifies
the conclusion that Saunders will Sc
cure his seat by larger majority
than he has hitherto received The di-
vision in the Republican ranks can
mean nothing but good to the Demo-
cratic candidate.
Trouble for Parsons, the Republican
nominee. has been brewing for some
time. The Henry Bulletin, stationed
on the firing line, reports that there
are at least five hundred independent
Republicans voters in the Fifth who
are ready TO repudiate "Cannonsm and
Aldrichism and the misgovernment OF
the existing Republican regime" They
are anti-Pars5ns. msn. At last the In
surgent spirit has cropped out among
them. and they are making ready for
battle. John B. Anglin. a Republican
leader, spent last week in Patrick
County comforting with the Insurgents
there, and he declares that there is
a widespread revolt throughout Pat
rick against the standpatters and Fed
eral ofiice-holders.
The call for this conference of lin
surgent and progressive Republicans of
the Fifth District states that the OBJ

TANGIEf, July 2.-(Special Dispatch TO

Benaissa, the governor OF Fec, who was
arrested by the sultans orders a few weeks
ago his womankind were all seized. AS the
sultan's agents failed to discover the
governors hidden treasure, his wife was
tortured in order to make her disclose its
whereabouts which as II did not exist,
she was unable to do. Her hands were sewn
up in damp rawhide. which contracts and

Letters from Fec state that her son Is

himself is at the point of death from cruel
ties perpetrated upon him.
II is about a month since the European
representatives at Tangier received a volun-
tary and explicit undertaking from the

Russia and Japan
Have Old Scores
Fourteen Points of Dispute Are Yet
to Be Adjusted, but Only
One is Serious.

ST PETERSBURG, July 2--(Special
Dispatch to The Bee.)-The question Of
Russo-J apanese relations, which has lately
given rise to sensational reports in the
foreign and In the Russion press may be
briefly stated as follows Both countries
have realized the expediency of closer
understanding. This view has been die
tated by political and economic consdera-
tons. The attitude OF the other powers
in some cases friendly, but in others adj
verse-to the respective interests Of Russia
and Japan has only strengthened the ten
doncy on the part of st. Petersburg and
Toxic to come together
The road to a final understanding, how
ever, must be cleared OF disputes arising
out of the late war. Altogether fourteen
controversial matters are pending All of
these, with one exception. are trifllng. The
exception relates to the capture OF Russian
hospital ships. which the Japanese Justify
on the ground that they carried war stores.
Russia contests this assertion, and raises
the question OF principle The case is one
which seems to pertain to the jurisdiction
of The Hague tribunal
M Isvolsky and Baron Motono will prob
ably resume in the immediate future con-
versations which will tend towards a settle
ment of the outstanding disputes. The de-
sire on both sides to pass to the more
important negotiate for a general agree
ment is coupled with a hearty readiness on
the part OF the allies of Russia and Japan
to cooperate. so that there is substantial
ground for the hope that that desire may
be gratlfIed without loss Of time. The
statements that Japan contemplates the
immediate annexation OF Korea are mis-
leading. When that event occurs It may
be presumed that Japan's allies and friends
