Policy-Holders to be Protected.
New York. June 10. Paul Morton,
The newly elected chairman of the
Loard of directors of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society, said today
tn in his plans for reorganization
of the Society, he intends to consider
5:?; of all the interests of policy hold
ers. Mr. Morton was asked whether for
mer President Cleveland had agreed
to act as trustee.
"I really don't know as to that,"
lie said, "in fact, I don't believe any
nee knows what decision Mr. Clever
'.and has reached. I hope he will ac
cept." George Westinghouse announced
that he had accepted trusteeship of the
Equitable stock offered him by Thom
as F. Ryan.
Justice Obrien was also asked to
at: as trustee.
tl is probable that some of the for
mer directors who recently withdrew

utiens. These will include Cornelius

.'ev; York men whose resignation has

tors. Effect on Stock Market.
New York.. June 10. The stock mar
ket was revived bv the renort of a set
tlement effected in the long standing
Equitable life dispute. Long drawn out
discussion of this topic weighed heavily
a tiie market and great relief was felt
,ver the prospect of getting it out of
tie say. The result was the accumula
tion of large buiying orders in the
ca.ket. which were pretty well dis
tributed all through the list. There
'as a momentary check to the rise on
amount of inviting profits offered on
over-night advance, but the prices then
wgaa to go forward again. Except for
accumulated orders at the opening,
tentss was small and the market
to be still largely in the hands

ooast une, Norfolk and Westera, Ches-
apeaKe ana onio, Louisville and Nash

against the South and shippers in that
territory. The attorney general took

SOUTH'S. INFLUENCE STROriG.
Cotton Mill Men of This Section Are
Making Their Desires Known With
Reference to the Proposed Chinese
Boycott.
Special to The .News.
Columbia. S. C June 10. That the
cotton mill men of the South are be
ginnig to make their influence felt is
shown by the deference with which the
wishes of those in South Carolina are
received. Just now there is a great deal
of talk over the threatened boycott of
the cotton goods by China and the mill
men of this State are making tnem
selves heard in the matter.
Tt is believed bv the cotton mill neo-
ple of Columbia, which city ships more
cotton goods to China tnan any otner
Southern city, that the boycott will ad
just itself but just the same no chances
are heine taken and a committee has
gone on to Washington to interview the
President.
Tt was feared at first that no atten
tion would be paid to the South Caro
lina mill men but a letter received yes
terday showed that the importance of
the Southern cotton mill industry is
realized in Washington, une letter
stated that there was no grave import
ance attached to the threatened Chin
ese retaliation and that the state de
partment would look after Southern in-

THE DOVE OF PEACE
IS HOW HOVERING
OVER THE FAR EAST
Both the Japanese and Russian
Governments Have Accepted
President Roosevelt's Sugges
tion and a Meeting of Repre
sentatives Assured,
England is Following With Keen
Interest Every Step Which
the President is Taking and
Heartily Ap proves of the Course
Which is Being Followed.
By Associated Press.
Washington, June 10. From an au
thoritative official source it is learned
that it. has been practically determ
ined ..that the plenipotentiaries of Ja
pan and Russia, for the determination
of peace terms, will hold their ses
sions in Washington.
Struck Like a Bombshell.
St. Petersburg, June 10. The text
of President Roosevelt's personal ap
peal to the sovereigns of the warring
countries to arrange a meeting of plen
ipotentiaries for the purpose of agree
ing on terms of peace, which arrived
this morning, rent the veil and, for!
the sceptics at St. Petersburg who re-'
fused to believe that the President's
efforts to bring the belligerents to
gether could succeed, it came like a
bombshell. The President's "sole pur
pose to bring about a meeting" has
been achieved and now it is merely
a question of whether the results will
be the peace for "which the whole
civilized world will pray."
The formal replies of' Japan and Rus
sia are expected to be transmitted
through Count Cassini and M. Taka
hira, at Washington, but the situation
is such as to leave no doubt of accept
ance of both and that the question of
selection of plenipotentiaries and place
of meeting will follow.
The President's urgent expression in
favor of direct negotiations, exclusively
between the belligerants, points
straight to the battlefield in Manchuria
as the scene of negotiations and diplo
mats generally entertain the view that
Russia and Japan had best settled their
quarrel there beyond the. range-of-poti-sible
outside influence. To the policy of
non-interference practically all the
powers are committed. Great Britain, it
is felt here in diplomatic circles, will
now complete a realization of what the
President has begun by restraining her
ally and inducing Japan to proffer mod
erate terms which Russia can accept
Roosevelt a Great Diplomat.
London, June 10. Keenest interest
is manifested in Roosevelt's note en
deavoring to bring Japan and Russia
to an understanding. While the Brit
ish government is not taking any part
in the negotiations, it is giving most
cordial support to the President, of
whose actions in the matter it has
been kept fully informed. Diplomatic
and official circles speak in highest
terms of .. the diplomatic manner in
which the President handled the mat
ter, and are fully in accord with
what they considered to be the only
way in wrhich the difficulty could be
overcome.
Financial circles in London are of
the opinion that the Japanese will de
mand indemnity amounting to about
one billion dollars,., that being their
estimate of the cost to Japanese of
sixteen month's fighting. This is con-

The Next Move Armistice.
Washington, June 10. Oifficials who
have been closely following the negoti
ations conducted b ythe President to
bring about peace between Japan and
Russia, except the nevt move to be a
request for armistice, and it is not
thought probable that hostilities will
continue after plenipotentiaries are
named to arrange peace terms. Belief is
expressed that both Japan and Russia
had already desisted from further ag
gressive momtfats even before the sug
gestion of the President was accepted.
It is thought here that the United
States will be the medium of communi
cation until some diplamatic channel
is established between the belligerent
nations.
London Speculates on the Terms.
London, June 10. Diplomatic circles
are of the opinion that the plenipoten
tiaries will meet in Washington, Baron
Rosen, as the Russian ambassador,
probably representing Russia. It is also
understood that Russia now admits in
urinciple that the demand for indem
nity is justified. It is suggested that
the terms of Japan will probably also
include acknowledgement of Japanese
protectorate over Korea, the total Rus
sian evacuation of Manchuria, the
handing over of Russian interests on
Liactung peninula and at Port Arthur
to Japan and the cession of the railroad
from Forth Arthur to Harbin. The
question of the Island of Sakhalin will
also be raised. It is thought the amount
of indemnity which will be demanded
by Japanese will depend in some meas
ure on the toher conditions. If these are
considered to be such as will ensure
durable peace the indemnity will be
less than it otherwise would.
Both Nations Accept.
New York, June 10. The Associated
Press has definite knowledge that
both the Russian and Japanese govern
ments have accepted President Roose
velt's suggestion and that a meeting
of representatives of the two contend
ing powers is assured. j
Russia is Ready.
St. Petersburg, June 10. It is stated
at the foreign office this afternoon that
Russia is ready to appoint represen
tatives to hear Japanese proposals, on
being informed that Japan is nominat
ing representatives for tMs , purpose.
ARMISTICE NOW EXISTS.
Suspension of Hostilities Will Be
Formally Declared When Plenipo
tentiaries Are Named.
St. Petersburg, June 10. Practically
an armistice can now be said to exist.
Russia awaits the Japanese notifica
tion, the name of he plenipotentiary
and the place of meeting, as upon the
place will depend the appointment of
Russia's representatives. With the
naming of plenipotentiaries a limited
suspension of hostilities will be formal
ly declared.

Ask Pardon For Utley.
Governor Glenn gave a . special hear
ing yesterday to advocates of a pardon
for Ed Utley who is serving twenty
3rears in the penitentiary for killing
Hollingsworth, night clerk in hotel La
Fayette, Fayetteville four years ago.
A. S. Hall and Geo. M. Rose of Fay
etteville appeared as attorneys in the
interest of Utley and there were with
them Herbert Lutterlow, Utley's un
cle, Mrs. Lutterlow, Mrs. Jno. D. Mac-
Rae an others. The pardon is being
urged-on the ground that at "the time
of the shooting Utley was so intoxicat
ed that he did not know what he was
doing. Furthermore, that his mind
was never strong and that there is
newly discovered evidence tending to
show that at the time Utley fired the
fatal shot Hollingsworth was point
ing a revolver at him, this weapon hav
ing been' found under the dead man
after the shooting. The governor has
the case under advisement.

MR. McCORKLE MAY LIVE.
Chester Man Thrown From His Buggy
and Kicked in the Face By the
Horse.
Special to The xses.
Chester, June 10. Mr. P. G. Mc
Corkle, who, with his wife and child,
was thrown from his buggy Thursday
afternoon and kicked in the face by
his horse, was at a late hour this morn
ing resting easy and with no new de
velopments. It is now expected that
he will live, though last night his re
covery seemed doubtful. His face was
disfigured almost beyond recognition.
Mrs. McCorkle, who was badly but not
seriously hurt, is improving. The
child escaped injury.
The facts concerning the McCorkle
accident are as follows: Thursday af
ternoon Mr. and Mrs. McCorkle and
their little son went out for an even
ing's drive. The horse suddenly be
came frightened and ran away. With
in a short distance the buggy was .over
turned and all the occupants were
thrown out. Mr. McCorkle held on to
the reins and fell under the feet of the
horse, which kicked him twice in the
face.
From such information as can be
gathered it appears that both blows
landed under Mr. "McGorkle's eye,
breaking his cheek and nose bones and
mangling his face most horribly. He
was picked up in an unconscious con
dition. Mrs. McCorkle was more or less
bruised by her fall but was not serious
ly injured. The little boy, William H.
McCorkle, escaped unhurt.
Mr. McCorkle is a son of the late
Col. W. H. McCorkle, of Yorkville. Sev
eral years ago he was in the cotton
business in Charlotte and while here
made many friends who deplore the
sad accident.-

$7,000 in Chicago.
Chicago, June 10. M. Cohen, a
wealthy junk dealer of St. Louis, Mo.,
has reported to the Chicago police the

swindle. Cohen met five men in St.
Louis who unfolded to him an elaborate
plan to beat the races at the Latonia
track. He came to Chicago with the
men and they took him to a room in a
building near Sixteenth street and
Michigan avenue. There were intricate
electrical machines there, and he
thought the scheme was a good one.
For three days he remained there with
the party.
During that time he advanced large
sums of money aggregating $7,000 and
then the five men disappeared. There,
is no trace of the swindlers.

Tokio, June 10. General Linevitch
is reported to be with his headquarters

inspection and direction of troops for
the purpose of strengthening his line
of defense along the Chancun-Kirin
line, evidently expecting a Japanese
onset.
.The Russian methods of making re
conisances in force are said to have
remarkably improved. They have
ceased to be disorderly, but owing to
the Russians' over-faithfulness to text
book , orders they are still placed at
a disadvantage. Their movements are
being anticipated by the Japanese,
who prevent them from, realizing that
the results are commensurate with
the amount of sacrifice.
