the Senatorial spurs in Kentucky.

States may have to fight Japan in

nation and Russia, because of
Japan's obstinate contention that

vessels and take therefrom any
enemy they might find, even though
a simple passenger. A hitch would
probably haye occurred during the
Japanese-C Chinese war, but for the
early conclusion of hostilities.
The Raleigh correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer says: when a
Republican can be induced to talk
about the last Legislature in a frank
way, condemnation is hearty Hon.

all the legislative sessions for 40
years, and that in the last body
