THERE is NO URGENT DEMAND
FOR ITS DIPANELING JUST
AT PRESENT.

The matter of calling the grand
jury came up in the district court
at the calling of the calendar this
morning, and aroused some discus
sion. The district attorney was
present and stated that in the abb
sence of any urgent demand for its
immediate impaneling he would
recommend the matter go over for
time.
There we're but two prisoners in
the jail awaiting their action, and
it was his understanding that neith-
er of them were making any fuss
about their detention.
Horatio Alling, representing the
two prisoners-who are the couple
of youths charged with holding up
a gambling game of Rhyolite--
stated that postponement would
be agreeable to him II its calling
later would serve the interests of
the county better He realized that
it would saddle needless expense on
the county to call the jury now,
when it might be necessary a few
weeks later to call 1t together again.
thus entailing lot of needless
expense.
Since all parties were agreeable
to postponement, the matter was
allowed to go over for future con-
sideration.

Vote Sellers May Escape.


Bristol, Va, Dec. 28-That through
a legal technicality the persons in
Lee county, Va, who have been in
dicted for having sold their votes
may escape conviction and copse-
uuent fine and disfranchisement is
the latest phase of the sensational
investigation into the wholesale de-
bauchery of the electorate in that
county.
1t is stated by one of the promi-
nent lawyers in Lee county that it is
his opinion, as well as the opinion
of the best lawyers of the Jonesville
bar, that the vote buyers who have
confessed before the grand jury un-
der Judge Skeen's promise of immun-
ity may be compelled to refuse to
testify at the trial of the vote sellers
on the ground that it would incrim
mate them beyond the power of the
court to grant the immunity. If this
proves true, no convictions can be
made, as there is only one witness
against each vote seller.

PRESIDENT
OF CHINESE REPUBLIC DELEGATES

AT NANKING
DECEMBER 18TH

Pelzin, Dec. 28.-The throne has
formally accepted the plan of Yuan
Shi Kai for a republic.
Shanghai, Dec. 28.-Eight thousand
rebel soldiers left here for Hawking
as necleus for the standing army
that will uphold the new republic.
Marking is likely to be the capital
of the republic.
Shanghai, Dec. 2S.-1t is reported
that the delegates Of the eighteen
provinces OF China proper intend to
meet at Marking on December 28th
to elect DR.. Sun Vat Sen as presi-
dent of the provisional government
of the United Provinces.
The arrival of DR.. Sun Vat Sen
has injected an entirely new and
forceful element into the ranks and
councils of the revolutionaries. DR.
Sens residence is crowded from
morning till evening with represen
tatives of all the provinces, generals
and governors, with whom he holds
consultations.
There is reason to believe that
they will meet on December 28th and
elect DR.. Sen president of the provis
| ional government by an unanimous
vote. After that has been done the
| revolutionaries plan the formation OF
a cabinet by the president who will
issue a proclamation setting forth
the terms and plans of the new gov
ernment.
DIR. Sen evidently does not regard
the peace conference here seriously
and will proceed with his plants with
out regard to Peking.
| No decision has yet been reached a:
to whether the armistice is to bt
continued.
