Pacific Result No Longer

A NEW POLITICAL FORCE
Host Attention is Now Being Paid
to Internal Affairs A Political
Revolution Coming-The Autocracy
Is Doomed-The Czar Has Become
a War Enthusiast ' '
St. Petersburg:, Aug. 12. Although
.Unsians are a bit puzzled by the allu
sions in telegrams from the United
States to the possibility of peace, de
spite the unequivocal rejection of thu
Japanese terms, the whole question is
vapidly disapearing from public dls
ti:?5ion as an episode which has al
ready been-considered and closed, and
V' .ce is regarded as outside the prac
tical features of the situation for a
considerable time to come.
Attention is turned mo-re immediate
ly to the interesting: situation of in
ternal affairs. It may now be said that
1 ublic opinion has come into being
as a definite political force in Russia.
Its birth dates buck only a few months
and while its outward manifestations
;:re few it is already regenerating the
r.urslan people. The world must not
ixpect rapid manifestations of its
f ewer, bu a force has been created
which will hereafter dominate the des
tini 03 of this empire.
Already it has so impressed itself
upon the constituted 'authorities that
from the throne downward they
ir.urt yield to it however unwillingly
with whatever subterfuges.
The leaders of this- new olitical
force are patient. -They will attempt
r,o miracles and will use force only as
a last resort. They insist now on the
creation of a national assembly andj
it wi;; be' granted in name at legist.
They are fully aware that the powera
would be practically nil, but they will,
gain the essential rights of freedom,
an assembly" and the freedom of de
lute. They will make it scarcely more
or less than a Jason Club and an
or !j an of a national propaganda. When
this is made a final success then real
demands for a constitution and a par
1 if. "merit with full authority, are cer
tain 'as the sunrise. It is for these
reasons that the loaders of the autoc
racy, like PobidonofFonff, vehemently
opposed any concessions whatever.
They are quite right from their own
Lcint of view.
The autocracy is doomed from the
moment a representative assembly
with any real political functions, or
even when none at all is permitted
to meet. That a duma of some sort
will be created is settled by the czar's
brief, ambigious manifesto, which was
issued today. The scheme in its pres
ent shape is to be still further
whittled down by a star chamber
council over which it Is said Pobeid
onostoff is to preside. He would make
it a mere churchy congress, but this
would not be accepted. A . genuine
representative assembly must and will
tie granted. The czar knows that It
is true, as Count Ignatioff told him
last week that this must be consld
el or the Romanoff dynasty must pay
the penalty. The new czar sentiment
which regards the war as necessary
evil which the national honor requires
to be continued, will not be allowed to
tflvort the popular will from its pur
poses in regard to internal affaire.
The czar himself, according to the
best Information, has become a war
tnthualast. This Is ascribed largely to
h influence of the kaiser. There is
reason to believe that the Emperor
"William entirely changed the czar's at
titude between the date of President
Roosevelt's invitation to a peace con
ference and his meeting with Nicholas.
Thh move on the part of the kaiser
"was due to strong foreign influence
"Mch has been brought upon the czar
to Induce him to make peace and seek
compensations in the near east. This
a the plan, as cabled The Morning
Post or the highest authority which
meant even British approval.
There areth0se, even among high
J'UHsian authority, with whom the
La f fan Press correspondent has con
Versed within the past two days who

The emperor still shows remarkable
buoyant spirits since he decided to
'prosecute the war,' but the situation
' today, "even compared with that of a
year ago, must. vause him bitter re
jections, as it does his subjects.
It was learned for the first time this

thentic, although perhaps they are in
complete. It is aid in certain quar
ters that the demands - Included the

payment of an indemnity.
London, Aug. 12. The latest public
news here in regard to the peace, con
ference says that according to Mr,
?ato, the spokesman for the Japanese
commission, there are indications that
Russia's reply to the Japanese terms
will be of such a nature that negotia
tions can continue. Nevertheless in
no circles here can there be found any
expectation pf Veace resulting from
the conference'. Thare is . one item
in Japan's demands as reported, which
in diplomatic circles here is considered
even more fatal to the prospects of
Russia accepting Japan's terms than
the Inclusion cf an indemnity or the
cession of Saghalien. This is the pro
vision limiting Russia's naval power in
the far east.
Russian Opinion
St. Petersburg, Aug. 32. The Bours-3
Gazette thinks that Japan undoubtedly
will refuse to renounce its claim to an
indemnity and territorial concessions.
The question of peace must be settled
on the battle-field,' not at Portsmouth.
The Russi says that the cession of

Wants Supreme Court to Give Him

Vacation Back From Yellow
. Fever Country
, Durham, N. C, August- 12.-Speelal.
Knapp " Horner, the slayer of Deputy
Sheriff Nichols, : of Orange "county, is
back in the Durham county Jail. He
was brought down here this morning
after- his conviction and ; sentence to
(twelve years in the penitentiary. He
has appealed to the Supreme court.
This crime was committed a year or
more ago, and Officer Nichols was kill
ed while trying to arrest Horner on a
warrant that charged him with as
sault .and battery. In his charge to
the jury Judge "Ward intimated that
under no aspect of the evidence should
the verdict be less than manslaughter,
and instructed them as to murder in
the first and second degrees and man
slaughter. This was late in the after
noon yesterday. The jury brought in
4 a' verdict for murder in the second de
gree early last- evening and sentence
was passed this morning.
In' passing sentence Judge Ward
said that in view of the fact that the
defendant is now sixty years of age
that he thought twelve years would
about consume most of the time he
had left on this earth, and consequent
ly gave him a sentence of twelve years
at hard labor.
Judge Ward and the prisoner both
came to Durham - on thj same train
this morning. Judge Ward left this
afternoon for Roxboro, where he will
hold court next ' week, and tihe pris
oner will remajn , in Durham county
Jail until his case is finally disposed
of by the courts'. .
The defense set up . by Horner in
this case was . that he shot the officer
in self defense. He claimed that he
was hunting , squirrels when Officer
Nichols came to arrest him. He want
ed to go to the house and change
clothing.. The officer wanted him to
go on with him at once. He said that
when he had walked away the officer
fired at him and that he then shot in
self defense. He proved by two or
three witnesses that the first repor,
was that .of a. pistol, followed by the
report of the gun. " .The State proved,
T,tr,ftxroT. a number of witnesses
lii.-i ,v. .ao true that the

"The Japanese plenipotentiaries have

The Russians this morning presented
their . answer td the Japanese terms,
admitting a willingness to accept some
of them and rejecting others.
M. Witte requested that the Japar

possible. Komura, one of the Japanese
envoys, said it would be ready at 3.
o'clock this afternoon and when.- the
envoys met at that hour It was sub-,

Thisy has been a dull day about the

The debate has raged hot and heavy
between the Japanese and Russian cor
respondents on the front stoop. They
have held an unofficial imitation conV
ference all day. The Japanese - and
Russian correspondents have mixed
from the first with genuine good feel

their debate to the prospect of peace
cutting the war and its causes.
"We will not be here next Satur
day. We will be gone by Wednesday"
said a Russian. " ' ' t
"What was Witte sent for If not to

to make peace after a conference .was

Dr. I. H. White again gave notice
tpday that doctors must report all
cases of yellow fever, no matter how
mild the type, as there are no restric- j
tions placed on the families of persons!
sick with yellow, fever. There was, j
he said, no excuse for not reporting!
them. Formerly when a case occurred,
in a house the family was kept isola-
ted there, and a great panic resulted.!
Now there is perfect latitude allowed. '
This warning is repsonsible for thaj
increase in the number of cases re-
sorted, rather than any real sDreadf

going through the formalities of asking j
the legislature, has borrowed $10,000 for
Dr Tabor, the Texas health officer, and
turned it over to him. The Louisiana
state board of engineers calls attention :
