the Crimean peninsula, without the tor-

her while on the way to Theodosia.
The torpedo boat destroyer Smetilvy,
which went In pursuit ‘of the Knfaz

her, as she has not been reported. All
idea of trying y s/k the Knlas Po-

there are dissensions among the muti-
neers, a portion of the crew favoring

“If Japan declines an armistice it
may prove to be a misfortune for the
world. The position of RusMt is oviti-

the inevitable. He wants peaoe and
Japan has the proofs in her posaesston.
Japan has indicMed her power before
the world and has won the Admiration
of the world. Nothing becomes a vio-
tory so much as a broad spirit of mag-
nanimity. If Japan still insists on jug-
&ling the emperor’s head into the ust

result in the loss of tens of thousands
of lives, she may produce a cataclysm
of anarchy greater than that of the

Russia with no government to nego-

dents for the conclusion of war are
reversed in this case. An armistice
generally precedes an agreement on
the time and place for the meeting of
the negotiators. Now that the steps
which usually follow a suspension of
hostilities have been arranged, why
should Japan, simply because she en-
joys the advantage of the military sit-
uation, inflict another defeat, with its
accompanying slaughter. Nothing
would be gained by it and much might

Memphis, Tenn., July —A Commercial Appeal special from
Tunica, MN a, says that Mark and Robert Harris, the De Soto
county negroes who killed Bob Mas ton near Tunica, June 21, and
who have since eluded their captors, today at their home near
Wallis, shot and killed their own father and dangerously wounded
Aubrey Gardner of Tunica, a young man who was in a posse that
had gone to arrest the Harri s negroes. The negroes were concealed
in the corn field and as Sheriff Owens of Tunica county and his
posse passed down the road, having tn their keeping the father of
the Harris negroes and their younger brother, whom they had ar-
rested as accomplices in the Maaton murdes they stepped to the edge
of the field and opened fire on the buggy in which Aubrey Gardner
and their aged father were rid ing. One shot dispatched the old man
and the other hit Gardner in the ±.bdomen, wounding him so
seriously that his life is des paired of. Sheriff Owens and his posse
returned the fire and then rushed into the field after the men. The
negroes, however, escaped. Several posses are now!searching for
them, and it is believed that they will soon be overtaken.
