Appeals to England to Form An Alliance With Russia. Describes Japan as ''America's Sharp Shooters." St. Petersburg, March 30. The Novoe Vremya to-day executed a face-about, strongly supporting the idea of a RussoBritish understand ing, in an editorial entitled "The Blindness or England," in which the paper argues that the success ot Ja pan would be more injurious to Great Britain than to any other Eu ropean nation and points to the United States as the common rival of both. It describes Japan as "America's sharpshooter" and says: "Remember what nation, in the person of the commauder of one of its men-of-war at Chemulpo, refused to join in the collective protest of the other foreign commanders before the Japanese destroyed the Variag and the Korietz. Remember who alone among all did not take on board the crews of our perishing ships. To the honor of England, the ally of Japan, it was not her representative, but the commander of an American ship. "The Americans wi-h to convert the Pacific into an American Medi teranian. "Would that be to the ad vantage of England? Does England not understand in her blind policy and hatred toward Russia that she is turning this ocean into an American Mediterranean ? Sooner or later the European countries will recognize that America is their mutual enemy. Why should not Russia and England, in view of their possessions outside Europe, combine?" Washinaton, D. C., March 30. In formation has been received here from Tokio, under date of March 30, to the effect that "the Japanese fleet have been successful in attempting partially to close the channel of Port Arthur. Fovir Japanese merchant vessels, escorted by twelve destroy ers and six first-class torpedo boats arrived at 3 a. m., March 27. The merchant vessels successfully entered the channel inside the light house. Two were destroyed, sunk by Rus sian destroyers, two of them by their own explosives. Loss in killed, two officers and two men. Loss in wound ed, one officer and eight men. No casualties to Japanese torpedo ves sels. Very small gap in channel." It is believed here that it will be difficult for the Russian ships to pass the channel, should the cablegram from Tokio prove to be accurate. St. Petersburg, March 30 An of ficial dispatch reports that the Jap anese lost forty men killed, one hun dred men wounded and a number of horses during the fighting at Chong- Ju, Korea, on Monday. A dispatch dated at Tokio claims that the Russian losses in the en gagement reported above were at least as great as those of the Japanese forces. London, April 1. A dispatch to the Central News from Tokio says Vice-Admiral Togo made another attack on Port Arthur during the night of March 30-31.

The fol lowinsr terni-official dispatch has o . been received from Liao-Yang: "In the first encounter with the Japanese in northern Corea, which was crowned with victory for the Russian arms, the enemy's losses were ten times those of the Russians. According to Corean reports the Jap anese buried fifty wen. while 120 GOLDSBORO, N. C THURSDAY, APRIL 7. 1904. wounded were removed with the help of 500 Coreans to the headquart ers of the Japanese main force.

C, wanted 5,000 gallons of paint, and bought by price; paid 5 cents less than ours; got a "lead-and-zinc" paint; but the lead was sulphate cf lead, not carbonate. Sulphate costs about half; and covers about half. That paint was adulterated about six times as much as the 5 cents paid for. lie "saved" 5 cents; and it cost him 30. Oh, no; it cost him more than that; we forgot the labor. Can't work it out exactly; don't know how long it'll wear. Short-measure besides; that alone was twice as much as his "saving" 5 cents. It was thin, too; some loss there; don't know how much. There was too much dryer in it. The maker made something on that; he didn't. Taking it altogether, he didn't make much by that 5 cents. Go by the name: and the name is Devoe lead-and-zinc. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co. New York. P. S. Smith & Yelverton sell our paint. m m LAWYERS BOYCOTT JUDGE.

Lawyers here are unwilling to ap pear before him in any capacity. It is likely that the May term will also be continued unless an exchange of judges is ordered. IN THE PROPER SPIRIT.

Thus after the report shall have been made no one can complain of not having had an opportunity to make public any facts he may pos- sess, or to have any grievance he may complain of investigated."
