THE TREATY ENDORSED
Action of Japanese Privy
Council Yesterday
ron Rosen and Mr..Takahira Met
t State Department and Discussed
Forms of Ratification of Respect
re Countries
Toitio, Oct. 4. The privy council met
"rVi afternoon and after a long dis
cussion endorsed the treaty of peace
ich was signed at .Portsmouth.
Marquis Ito presided. The meeting
!k place in the presence of , the em
"uror and was attended by the min
Jtter" of state.
It is expected that after the emperor
formally ratifies the treaty he will
command Admiral Togo to bring, the
ombined Japanese fleets to the- Tokio
ay, where it is planned to hold an
imperial review, some 200 warships to
tke part. Togo will make this an op
portunity for a triumphal return to
the capital.
A British . squadron is expected at
Yokohama October 12th.
Washington, Oct. 4'. -The Japanese le
gation here has been informed that the
prlvey council of Japan has unanl-
mously recommended the ratification
i'lof the treaty of Portsmouth. The treaty,
which arrited in? Tokio from Ports
mouth several" days ago, was referred
to the privy council, according to cus
tom, by the mikado. Now the council
has recommended its ratification and
within a few days the -mikado will
probably formally ratify the treaty.
Diplomatic relations between Russia
and Japan were resumed at the state
department for a short time today.,
while Baron Rosen, the Russian am
bassador, andMr. Takahlra, the Jap
". anese minister, discussed the 'forms of
', ratification of their respective coun
tries. The call was made by appoint
ment at the request of Mr. Takahlra,
who desired to see the Russian form
Df ratification. Accordingly Secretary
Root sent Mr. Smith, chief of the diplo matic'
bureau of the state department',
who brought to the diplomatic room a
topy of a Russian extradition treaty,
tt-hich gave Mr. Takahlra the informa
tion , he desired. The envoys remained
for a few minutes in conversation with
Secretary Root and then left the de
rnent without further exchanges.
They bowed, pleasantly as they parted
outside the diplomatic room.
It would seem certain from this that
ratifications of the peace treaty-are to
be exchanged at Washington. "
f The exact form which these papers
shall take was discussed at today's
'conference, both envoys being anxious
that there should be no difficulty on
that point. The form of the papers
necessarily will be indentical.

LADY'S GIFT TO STUART
Handed Evangelist a Check for $500
in Durham
Durham, N. C, Oct. 3. Special.
Evangelist George Stuart left this
morning for his home at Cleveland,
Tennessee, where he will spend a day
or - so with his family : and w-ill then
go to Lynchburg to. hold a series of
meetings.
His meeting of last night the last of
the series was the best. The crowd
was the largest of any previous meet
ing, there being all of five thousand
people within hearing of his voice, and
many were turned away. Under the
various propositions probably two thou
sand people went forward and gave the
preacher their hands.
Mr. Stuart announced last night that
he had preached at a large number of
places, naming many of them, but that
Durham 'had given him the largest
personal donation, and that the crowds
had been larger and the interest shown
greater-. In speaking of 'the donations
made him here he said that the largest
Individual donation ever made him was
given by a Durham person, and that
person a lady. He said that the lady
called at his hotel yesterday afternoon
and presented him with the check. He
did rot tell the name of the lady nor
the amount. It is learned today that
the check was for five hundred dollars.
It is said that the amount given Mr.
Stuart for his work here was between
fifteen hundred and eighteen hundred
dollars. This, however, is not known
to be a correct statement of the amount
he was given by the Durham people.
In addition to this amount the inci
dental expenses of the meeting, pro
viding seats, lights and other expense
account, amounted to more than four
hundred dollars.
THE INDICTED REVENUERS
May Not be Tried Before Next Week.
Williams Case in the Way
Greensboro, N. C, Oct. 4. Special.
Public interest in this term of United
States court is still unabated and cen
ters still in the pending indictments
against the ex-office-holders, who are
all here with an imposing array of at
torneys. Both the government and the
defendants in these cases are busy in
preparation, and show no sign of the
white feather. All appearances indi
cate that some of these cases will be
reached for trial.
It had been settled that none of them
would be called Defore Thursday be
cause of the absence of C. B. Watson
and ex-Governor Aycock, who are now
here.
One obstacle looms up at this time in
the shape of one branch of the famous
Williams case, which late this after
noon was set peremptorily for tomor
row morning. This case Is against the
old Nick Williams Company and D. E.
Kennedy, and if tried will likely carry
the other cases over to next week.
Court, so far, has been occupied in
the disposition of smaller fry. The jail
cases, with one exception, are out of
the way. Collectors Duncan and Har
klns, with their forces, are still here.
The number of visiting attorneys has
increased. There is no diminution in
the size of the crowd. The depart
ments at Washington appear to be
leaving the whole fight in the hands
of District Attorney Holtoh and his
assistant, A. H. Price, who arrived to
day.

oft in the number of children in the ;

the number of children of school ag.
Here are ,the figures: Inside the
country there w-ere 3.C01 white children
in 1904 and 3,4.36 this year, a decrease
of 145. In the city last year there vera
3,127 last year and 3,107 this year, a
decrease of 20. This shows a total de
crease of 165 white children in the
county. As to the colored children there
is an increase when the . county i3
taken as a whole,, the city showing a
decrease of 55 children and the coun
try an increase of 108, a total increase
of 53 in the entire county. The figures
for the colored school population are
as follows: In the country L899 chil
dren last year and 2,007 this year, an
increase of 103. In the city 1,966 last
year and 1,911 this year. A decrease of
55. This gives the negro children a
total increase of 53 and the whites a
decrease of 165, a total decrease for both
races in the entire county of 112.

FATAL SALOON FIGHT
John Fisher, Engineer of Raleigh,
Kills One and Wounds Two
Mdbile, Ala., Oct. 4. During a fight
in a saloon here today John Fisher,
an engineer of Raleigh, Kf. C, in this
city on a visit, shot and killed Price
Baker, son of prominent parents, and
seriously wounded H. McLean and J. J
Harte, prominent men about the city.
Fisher believed that the men were
going to attack him, and backed into
a doorway and fired three times, each
shot telling.
Baker was shot through the heart
and died almost instantly. The other
men are in a hospital and their condi
tion is not considered favorable.
Fisher, after the shooting, lit a cigar
ette and delivered the gun to a police
officer and told him that he did the
shooting.
At Caledonia Farm
Tillery, N. C, Oct. 3. Special. As it
has been the usual custom of your cor
respondent to visit the Caledonia state
farm semi-annually, and having just
returned from a very pleasant ride
through those lands with that fine man
who ever holds a keen watchful eye
over the state's most guarded Interests
at No. 2 camp and farm, we beg a
short space in your columns. While
we give a few items of the conditions
of these premises, we find in actual
cultivation at this farm . 1,550 acres,
divided In different cropa as follows:
Six hundred and fifty in cotton, 300 in
peanuts and 600 in corn. This vast
crop has been cultivated with but sixty
mules and about 15 per cent less labor
than last year.
Compared with that year the esti
mated yield will be cotton 70 per cent,
peanuts 80 per cent and corn very much
better, notwithstanding it "has been one
of the most disastrous wet seasons
this section has known for fifteen years,
and also with the surrounding country
barely giving 50 per cent of all crops.
Capt. Rhem and Capt. Christian,
who are at the head of this work, are
natural born agriculturists, and with
their past experience; it is doubtful if
any two could be found in the state
(all things being equal) to approach
this handling of these farms. There
Is plenty old corn now on hand, with
enough long forage to last until after
January, 1906. There has been raised,
housed and stocked, by long odds, the
largest cr6p of fodder and hay pea
vines than at any previous year. It
is highly pleasing to all parties to note
the masterly manner in which these
farms are being managed.
The hospitals ,at each of these camps
were never in so good a shape, and
the attending physician. Dr. Register,
is highly popular and in close touch
with every detail; in his line of work.
The state has never had a more effi
cient board of directors than it now
enjoys and it is most, gratifying to the
writer to state these facts.
