By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, JUNE 15. (3 P. M.)
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT HAS
BEEN MADE THAT WASHINGTON
HAS BEEN SELECTED AS THE LO
CATION OF THE PEACE CON
FERENCE.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT CAME IN
THE FORM OF AN INFORMAL
STATEMENT ISSUED BY SECRE
TARY LOEB BY THE DIRECTION OF
THE PRESIDENT. THE STATE
MENT FOLLOWS:
"WHEN THE TWO GOVERN
MENTS WERE UNABLE TO AGREE
UPON EITHER CHEFOO OR PARIS,
THE PRESIDENT SUGGESTED THE.
HAGUE, BUT BOTH GOVERNMENTS
HAVE NOW REQUESTED WASHING
TON BE CHOSEN AS THE PLACE OF
MEETING AND THE PRESIDENT
ACCORDINGLY FORMALLY NOTI-
i FIED BOTH GOVERNMENTS THAT
WASHINGTON WAS SO SELECTED.
IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED AT
THE WHITE HOUSE THAT AFTER

THE PLENIPOTENTIARIES, IF IT
SHOULD BE FOUND UNCOMFORT-

MIGHT ADJOURN TO SOME SUM

TABLE. First Press Account.
Washington, June 15. Pressure is
being brought to bear upon Japan to
induce her to fix the sum which she
will demand as indemnity at as low
a figure in cash as is possible in the
circumstances. This pressure is be
ing exerted especially by the Euro
pean governments, but President
Roosevelt, it is intimated, also has ad
vised the Japanese government that
a moderation in her demand - for a
cash indemnity not only would facili
tate the negotiation of peace terms,
but would be regarded by the powers
with particular favor.
' No decision has yet been reached
as to the place of holding the peace
conference. The impression is grow
ing that, Washington will likely be the
city finally selected, although both
The Hague and Geneva are under con
sideration. Objections have been
made by the Japanese to The Hague,
but it is not believed that those ob
jections are fundamental or unalter
able. However, as the situation nciw
is, Washington appears to be the city
most likely to be selected. It can be
said, on authority,' that if the confer
ence is held in the United States, it
will be in Washington. No other place
in this country has ben considered
seriously.
After the selection ff the place "of
meeting of the plenipotentiaries, the
two governments will name those who
are to represent them at the confer
ence, men an armistice oetween tne

lie on their arms awaiting the final
signal from their governments.
It is quite unlikely that the confer
ence will assemble formally before the
middle of August or first of Septem
ber. Takahira at White House.
Washington, June 15. Minister
Takahira called at the White House
this morning and remained nearly an
hour and, a half. When asked if a de
c ision had been reached as to the loca
tion of the peace conference, he re
plied: "Oh, no. It is a long journey,"
meaning, probably, that it might take
a considerable time to determine the
matter.

Ex-Judge Winston Spoke for Two
Hours in Favor of the Motion
Made in the Gattis-Kilgo Case,
On the Ground of Insufficiency
iTjf Evidence.'
Special to The News.
Raleigh, June 15. After the exami
nation of a number of character wit
nesses, counsel for the plaintiff rested
their case in the damage suit of Gattis
vs. Kilgo and the defendant's counsel
lodged a motion for a non suit on the
grounds that there was no evidence of
malice sufficient to go to the jury. Ex
Judge R. T. Winston, Dui-ham, spoke
for two hours in support of this mo
tion, followed by C. B. Watson, contra.
The Judge still has the issue under con
sideration. If the motion is overruled
the defense will proceed" with the in
troduction of their witnesses.
J. B. Powell, of Norfolk, completed
his testimony in his own defense in
his trial in the Federal court for the
fraudulent use of the mails, represent
ing himself to be the firm of Jones &
Powell, of Raleigh, and securing large
orders for goods on the commercial rat
ing of the old firm of that name that
did business here at that time (three
years ago). He was on the stand alto
gether six hours and was subjected to a
rigid cross examination. He claimed
that he was employed by J. C. Jones
to carry on the business at $25 per
week and that he had not seen Jones
since the trouble started. He insisted
that his business was perfectly legiti
mate and wojild have, panned out all
right if the federal officers had not in
terfered. The cross examination drew
out the fact that Powell had rented the
post office box in Raleigh be for the
date he claims that J. C. Jones em
ployed him to conduct the Jones &
Powell business and that the box was
rented in the name of Jones & Powell.
That he carried on similar fraudulent
business in South Norfolk, Smithfield
and other places in Virginia and North
Carolina. That he was declared a bank
rupt in Norfolk in 1893, and has not
in Kentucky, was arrested for criminal
assault on a woman in Virginia and
had run away with a girl from Smith
field and been lodged in jail in Lou
denbttrg, Va., in connection with the
same offense.
It is expected that the case will go to
the jury sometime tomorrow morning
and the general impression is that they
will not be long in arriving at a ver
dict of guilty.

nounce that the Seaboard Air Line has
agreed to erect a handsome new pas
