A shocking accident occurred on
the East Tennessee Railroad, near

night. Will Jarvis, half-witted fel.
low who lives on Cherokee, was run
down and killed by No. 50. The en-
tire train passed over him at full speed
and mangled him in such horrible
manner that he was an unrecogniza.

were scattered four or five hundred
feet, if it had not been for the clothing
and some papers in the pockets
No one knows just how it happened,
but it is supposed that he sat down
and fell asleep. He was seen leaving
Telfords short while before he met
his death, going in the direction Of
where his mangled body was found
Jarvis was about thirty years old and
unmarried.

Secretary GEEsHAWs Corean dispatch
aud TO discredit the Secretary, pre-
sent a rather shsepish aspect In the
light OF the actual contents Of the note
Il appears that the alleged dispatch TO
the japanese Government consisted Of
a note TO the American Minister az
Tokyo to use his good Offices TO secure
peace in Corea. There is nothing in
this TO give ofTense TO Japan or Russia,
nor to any other party. II Secretary
GRESHAM committed diplomatic
"blunder" ia this note, so did Great
Britain, France and Germany, who
united in suggesting both TO China and
Japan an informed .stion for settle
ment OF the troubles 10 Corea.
10 is pointed out that the question is
whether there is the least necessity for
this Government TO give itself any con-
Germ about the complications 10 the
Corean peninsula. In the nature OF
things the little Hermit Kingdom will
fall sooner or later into the hands
OF China, Japan or Russia or may be
England. While Japan and China
dispute, Russia, which has been
stretching her giant arm in the di-
rection OF Corea. is likely to gobols up
the prize. To the American people it
will make small difference which OF the
nations may win. AS to the ua-
happy Coreaus, they will not fall into
the hands OF one without wishing them
selves subject 20 tho tender mercies Of
the others.

DIscus.ing the Situation.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Immediately
after the adjournment Of the Senate to-
day there was q conference OF the Dem
ocratic leaders of that body in the room
of the Committee on Appropriations,
Among those present were Senators
German, Brice, COckerell, Harris, Ran
som, and Black burn, comprising most
OF the Democratic steering committee.
The Senators had a long talk, and
when they departed no conclusion
had been reached as to the
best way out of the present del
icate position in which the majority
find themselves. The proposition for a
caucus was discussed and some Of the
Senators thought it would be wise
TO have general conference Of Demo-
cratic Senators before any step was
taken or a vote was had on any OF
the pending propositions. The matter
Of calling a caucus was left for further
consideration and will no doubt be dis
cussed among other Senators and their
views ascertained as to the advisaoility
OF taking such action.
Secretaries Gresham, Lamont and
Smith aud Postmaster General Bissell
we're i'm conference with the President
at the White House this evening. The
tariff situation was reviewed, but so far
As can be learned no conclusion was
reached. Secretary Carlisle was at the
White House late in the afternoon.
