Silas Wil liams and wife, colored, of Hinds county. Miss., went to a church fes tival, locking up their four children, as Is customary-with negroes. The cabin caught fire7 and the children were all burned to ; death. Although several hundred persons -witnessed the fire it was impossible to break into the build ing. There are usually over a hundred children burned in this way during the cotton picking season. The loss will be much greater this year because of the drought "and the large number of fires that hve occurred. All efforts bn the fait of the whites to prevent this pr&ccice of the negroes locklngv their , cnildren up at home when they go' out has proven - a failure. PEACE ARGUMENT Russia Simply Is Not i? e ady to Fight Japan Tokio," Nov. 30. The Asashi, one of the more reliable Japanese papers, prints a dispatch from Port Arthur stating that Admiral Alexieff, Russian commander in the far east, in address- ing his staff, said that if Russia had three docks at 1 Port Arthur and ; two at .Dalny she would not hesitate to fight Japan, but under existing circum stances it would be impossible to an nihilate the Japanese fleet 5 in the first engagement, while a second encounter would certainly Involve the defeat or annihilation of the Russian fleet.

PEIfB Washington, Nov. 30. Special. The supreme court of the United States has been unable to reach a decision in the J journed for the summer vacation led to the.belief ' that .the justices were hopelessly divided, as was stated in this correspondence at the time. Only eight members of the court heard the original argument, " which gives color to the belief that the; justices are equally divided as to the merits of the contentions advanced by attorneys for the two state?. If this surmise Is correct then Justice Wm. R. Day will be. to all purposes, the sole arbiter when the case is heard again. Justice Day was ill when the case was heard last" April, having been stricken with !a violent attack of pneumonia, and he !only served a few days after being sworn in ast February. His restora- tion to health makes it possible , for a full court to sit on the case when It is reached for reargument next January, : Chief Justice Fuller, in announcing the fact today that there must be another hearing, made ho comment to indicate the causa that prompted the court to take this course. Briefs arid arguments submitted by counsel were most elaborate, and It Is not for a moment thought that further informa tion Is desired for the enlightenment of the justices. Had this been tho case -a rehearing would have been requested monihs ago. Besides it wa3 generally understood .'i when 1 the court adjourned last June without -renderings a -decision ;that lhi justices -were badly divided in their views as to this case, which ! was only one of eleven argued that worse divided than T have indicated.

The same attorneys who appeared In the case last spring will probably sub mit argument again. For North Caro lina George Rountree. ex-Judge Shep herd and ex-Judge James 21. Merri mon, specially employed by the gov ernor, submitted argument. Attorney General R. Dl Gilmer also appears in the case. Ex-Governor Russell and ex-Senator Butler appear for the state of South Dakota, while Wheeler IL, Peckham appears for the other bond holders. The suit was considered a novePone, as It wat regarded as evad ing the disability of a private citizen suing a state by the gift of bonds to another state in order to make it the principal. . Schaff er Brothers of New York, the holders of $250,000 of second mortgage bonds of the Western North Carolina Railroad Company, guaranteed by the state of North Carolina, donated J10, 000 of these securities to the state of South Dakota for the use of Its uni versity, and the suit was brought as an original action in the supreme court. The bonds were Issued in 1867 and pay able in 1897, the principal 'and interest being guaranteed by the stato of North Carolina. , With Interest due since ISM. the to tal claim foots up about half a million dollars. About four million of the bonds were issued, but under the read justment in 1879, the state comprom ised at 25 per cent, with the holders of all ''except those now owned by the Schaff ers. South Dakota asks the su preme court to order an accounting of the first and second mortgage bonds, that payment of principal and Inter est on the $10,000 be made the state of North Dakota, and that the 30,000 shares of North Carolina railroad stock owned by. the state be sold to satisfy the claim, and for an injunc tion restraining the state from collect ing the dividends on the stock while the emit is pending. President Roosevelt and the Repub lican party do not desire a further in vestigation of the post office scandals, Their position is that Gen. Brlstow has uncovered all crookedness and graft in the department, and they maintain that a congressional Investigation is unnecessary. If it is In their power to prevent an independent investigation by congress, there will be none. Such Is the opinion expressed today by those who know what is going bn Inside the Republican organization. That the Carmack resolution 'calling for a con gressional, investigation of .Ahs 7 posta frauds is to be pigeonholed by the Re publican majority, there seems to be Httle doubt. The Democrats wish to go "on further up" and that is what the party in power does not want. That Postmaster General Payne wa deserving of censure because of his ef forts to hush up and smother the uncoveringof the postal frauds is well known to every one, yet' President Roosevelt, who knows this as well. as everybody in Washington, has nothing but praise for this official. The stren uous and self righteous executive has not one word in behalf of First As sistant Postmaster General Wynne, the man who received Payne's disapproba tion because of his activity fh -ferreting out the rascals. . Wynne's activity and the-fearlessness of the great press of the fourth district of North Carolina, were as follows: Seized and destroyed, 176; fifth district, 112; arrests, fourth hdlstrict, 16; fifth ' district, 28.

The president's attempt to shield him, therefore, emphasizes thi importance of ah Investigation not ab solutely controlled by the adminlstra. tion.
