A huge audience, with great ex-
pectations, greeted the little Repu-
diator Senator from Virginia, Mon
day of last week, when he spoke in
the U. S. Senate. On the floor, says
the correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, were several members of the
cabinet, most of the members of the
House of Representatives then in
the city, several justices eff the Su-
preme Court, and many others of
prominence. The diplomatic gallery
was actually crowded, a circumstance
which scarcely occurs once a year.
The cabinet ladies and others of so
cial prominence were we'll represent
ed, and among those who attracted
the most attention was Mrs. Kate
Chase Sprague, who sat in one of
the front seats of the Senators gal
lery, which had been carefully guard
ed for her from an early hour by
one of the colOred messengers by di-
rection of the Vice President. Gen.
Malone did not attract more atten-
ton than she did during the entire

THE MINERAL WEALTH OF EAST
HIRMALZCC EE

A correspondent of the Knoxville
Dispatch, travelling through this
section, writes thus enthusiastically
of our propects FEI met few days
ago gentleman from the North who
had been to Leadvale on the rail
road running south from Morristown
in Hamblen county, to look at the
lead mine located there. He had
with him some splendid specimens
of almost pure galena, and expressed
himself as very much surprised at
the richness ofthe mine. / inferred
from his conversation that he was
negotiating for the property. These
are the old lead mines of which We
have heard ever since we were boys.
I have never attached much impOr-
tance' to them, because nothing
much had ever been done there.
Ny curiosity was stimulated and
having a leisure day and being at
Morristown, l concluded torun down
and see them. / found one of the
proprietors, a Mr.. Moulon, in the
mines, with, perhaps, a dozen Of
men hard at work under his super
intendence. A number of others
are engaged at the furnace a few
hundred yards away.
"In the past few weeks he has
uncovered what appears to be a
regular fissure vein of solid galena
about eight inches thick, fianked by
two other veins about four inches
thick, only separated from the larger
vein by a. few inches of clay, which
is full of carbonate of lead Verify,
it looks like a bonanza. 1t is said
that in the immediste neighbOrhOod
are large deposits Of zinc ore.
"By the way, [ understand the
old zinc works at Messy Creek, in
Jefferson county, bid fair to be
revived. | hope it is true am sure
that all that is needed there is a
proper development. / recently
met a Mr. Barrett, from Virginia,
who has leased or purchaaed large
bodies of zinc ores at or near Messy
Creek. He had with him some
specimens of his ores, that were re-
markably fine. He has mined and
shipped ever 600 tons of these ores,
with very profitable results. l have
myself been astonished at the i'm
mense wealth ofupper East Tennes-
see in mineral ores. [ am told that
a line from Cumberland Gap to
n. c., will cross over
every known variety of iron ore, and
that these ores are of superior quail
ity and unlimited in quantity. If
this be so, what a future is before
that country The railroad from
to Asheville, it is said,
will be completed by midsummer.
The people at Morristown are talk
ing of building a narrow gauge |
to Cumberland Gap. If |
they do, all these iron ores will be |
together. The coal lies at |
Cumberland Gap, and limestone is
found in great abundance along the
whole line Claiborne county is
said to contain immense beds Of
zinc ores. This line will cross the
great beds of variegated marbles"

/ KNOXVILLE ROOT SWLNDLKR.

From the New York Times we
learn of a recent swindle perpetra-
ted on the heather Chinese, no doubt
by an unacclimated foreignborn
carpet Dagger, unearthed by the
New York Produce Exchange The
digging of ginseng is an industry
peculiar to the mountainous sections
of East Tennessee, Western North
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and
Southwestern Virginia. 1t is said
the annual gathering amounts to
about 100000 pounds. 1t is ship
ped to China, where it is used and
highly priced for its medical prop
critics 1t is of the same species as
a root indigenous to certain parts of
Asia. Before the discovery of the
American ginseng the Asiatic pro-
duet was made a monopoly by the
Chinese Government, and was re-
tailed to the people Of China, where
it is held in the greatest esteem for
medicinal properties which it does
not possess, at the enormous rate Of
$500 an ounce in gold. 1t sells
readily in New York at from 81 rs
to 50 so per pound. Recently mer-
chants in that city received three or
four complaints from San Francisco
that the root was being largely |
adulterated, and these were quickly |
followed by a number of similar
complaints from Hong Kong. The
matter was consequently brought to
the attention ofthe Arbitration Com
mittee. 1t appeared in the evidence
that the adulteration complained Of
of two sorts. In the one
case the root of another plant re
sembling ginseng in its outward ap
which grows all over the
Southern States, had been mixed
with the real article, in instances to
he extent of so per cent. In the
,ther, !holes had been bored through
he root, and these had been filled
With lead to add to its weight. 1t ::
$ testified that there are no experts I
n this city capable of detecting the !
Furious from the genuine root, :
which can only be done by tasting,
nd that New York merchants de :
line to sell it with a guarantee on
hat account. All the authorizations
yere traced to Knoxville, Tenn, as
he original shipping point, and it },
ras found that they came through =
ne hands of a single receiver in !
lew York, who was adjudged to :
spay such a considerable sum to =
le deceived merchants that it is l
elieved the adulteration will be
Opped. =,

The Nashville Herald of S

The Nashville Herald of Satur-
day evening says the defeat of the
1908 bill brought about a meeting
of the Democratic leaders at the
Maxwell House, Friday night, and,
after consultation until 3 o'clock
Saturday morning, the meeting
came to the conclusion to telegraph
the syndicate of bondholders at New
York city if they would propose 60
4, 5, 6, with coupons for taxes. Up
to Saturday evening no answer had
been. received. The Herald thinks
if the syndicate propose this prop
osition, Governor Hawkins will re-
commend its acceptance, unless the
Democratic leaders can have it pre-
scented, through Senator Daniels, as
an original proposition, making it a
Democratic measure.

We have been negligent and in
this instance failed to award merit
where it was due. The young men
who for months past have constitut-
ed the delightful string band of our
town, organized under the name Of
ThOmpson's Quartette Band, have
deserved a special notice before this
time. The sweet mellifuous harmony
of their instruments, under the well
trained munipulations oftheir hands,
has delighted private and public as
semblages in our town until it is re-
cOgnised almost as an indispensable
adjunct to the public content. We
had intended to compliment and
thank them for the delightful or
chestral music they furnished at the
various entertainments given by the
Dramatic Club. The pleasure of
those entertainment were much en-
HANGED by the Quartette Bands par
ticipation, and to the proficiency and
careful instruction of their leader,
Mr. J. B. Mcmillan, are we now in
debted for having a band equal in
every respect for any emergency.
The Quartette is composed of the
following young gentlemen J. b.
Mcmillan, LIST violinist; J. c.. Wheel
err, I'd vIOlinist; c. NJ. Thompson,
cornet; John A. Stubblefeld, double
bass.

In the United States Senate on
March % Mr.. Dawes offered a res
Olution for the election of Secre-
tary, Sergeant-at-Arms, Doorkeeper.
Chief Clerk, Executive Clerk and
Chaplain, and also one nominating
the candidates chosen at the Repub-
lican caucus on Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Pendleton objected and the res
olution was laid over until the oath,
when the resolution for the election
of officers was called up. Mr., Pend
Teton opposed the pressing of the
resolution at present, and Messrs.
Beck and other Democrats twitted
the Republicans with their accep-
lance of Hancock Electors and Con-
federate brigadiers who had never
repented. and Mr.. Brown, of Georgia,
declared that the Democrats were
willing to fight the resolution until
June, or even December next. Mr..
Hoar asserted that this declaration
contained the very essence ofrevolu-
ton and treason. After the failure
os several motions to adjourn and go
into Executive session, the Senate
finally, on motion of Mr.. Pendleton,
leaving the matter unde-
cided. Similar tilibustering on the
part ofthe Democrats was continued
On the 25th and Goth. On Monday,
The 18th, Mr., Malone, of Virginia,
spoke at length in explanation and
Of his position. When
he had finished, he was congratulate |
ID by Senators Conkling, Sherman,
Dawes and others on the Repubi- |
an side. After some filibustering
he Senate adjourned.

A dispatch from Iowa City, Iowa,
of March 20, says that Miss Hattie
DUEL, maiden lady of fifty-five,
who processes to consider it her re-
ligious duty to keep silent and fast,
is now in her thirtieth day without
taking a morsel Of food and has not
spoken an audible word since No
vember, 1879. Her organs of speech
are said to remain perfect. Her de-
sires are made known to her broth
er-in-law, DR.. Aylworth, with whom
she resides, by writing on a slate
She wrote yesterday: ado you
think it would prolong my life if /
were to drink freely Of cold water?"
His reply was that probably it would
not, but if she abstained from water
she would probably sink into low
typhoid fever with delirium. She
then began to drink water freely.
She sits up in bed, and it is thought
may live some days yet.

The authorities of the W. n. G..
r. r. have completed the road to
the French Broad bridge, four miles
from the Swannanoa depot. They
are arranging to push iorn-laying
on down the river at once and rapid
ly, iron having been purchased and
enrote The frame work for the
bridge across the French Broad is
being rapidly prepared, so by sum-
mer the road will be completed far
down toward Paint Rock. We have
also been assured threatened litiga-
ton between Mr.. Best and other
owners of the property will in no
wise effect the progress Of the work.
We are pleased to learn that under
the excellent management of its
present officers, the business of the
road has so increased as to justify
special freight trains independent of
the passenger train, and to greatly
the speed of the passenger
train. We hope the business may
cotinue to increase, so that its owners
may be gratifed in making at an
early day other much needned i'm
provements. We are sure Col. An

lose no opportunity to improve the
road in every way.

James Currie, the murderer of
Porter, the actor, was shot and killed
at Los Vegas, New Mexico, on March
oath. Currie, it appears, was on
drunken spree, and threatened to
kill several people. Among the per-
sons threatened was the bartender

the Texas murderer. The ball en-
tered his forehead and come out at
the back of his head. A party of
