Japan With Us.

1t is believed that the destruction
of the Maine in Havana harbor
may lead directly to the realization
of Japan's desire to possess the
Philippine Islands. The State
Department, at the instance of
Japan, has deretmined that there
were seven Japanese subjects on
board the battleship when she was
lost.
If it is proven that the Maine
was blown up from the outside, it
is stated that the Japanese govern
ment does not propose to excuse
Spain from the responsibility for
the destruction of these men, and
will demand a heavy indemnity
from Spain, reinforcing it with a
naval demonstration at Manila.
The circumstance gives the
American government an uneX-
pected but invaluable ally in case
of rupture with Spain. 1t is stat
ed that the Japanese minister has
given this Government assurance
of Japan's support in any emergen-
cy and that while is has not been
accepted or declined, it is recogniz-
ed that the friendship of Japan
would release America from the
necessity of keeping some of her
finest vessels in Asiatic waters
and these, added to a naval force
in the Atlantic, would insure the
of the home fleet against
any threatened Spanished raid on
cur coast.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

During the week in Congress
there has been but little interest in
anything excepting the all-absorb-
ing question of the loss of the
Maine, and the grim determination
to see that Spain shall be duly pun
ished for that act of perfidy. The
President of course can do nothing
until the commission reports as to
the cause of the disaster, but it is
well-known fact that the Maine
was destroyed by the external ex-
plosiOn of either submarine mine
or a torpedo. Our Government,
however, is not sleeping. Every
possible energy that can be exerted
in all of the shipyards is being
shown in the placing of our navy
upon a thorough war footing. The
monitors are being manned, equip
ped, and provisioned and squadrons
of torpedo boats have all been plac-
ed in commission for active service
and our feet of 10 warships-co COM
merce Misrepresentation includes
the New York, City Of Paris, and
those ocean greyhound passenger
ships are being fitted with guns and
their necessary supplies for
active hostilities. When war is
declared if it should be, in two
weeks the Spanish flag will not be
seen in the navigabIe waters of the
earth's suface, and they will do
very well if they succeed in pre-
venting squadron of our fast sail
ing cruisers bombardiDg the port
of the mother country.
Our people must not judge the
President harshly because he is
taking sufficient time to place the
country upon thorough war foot
ing, because any other course is
not wisdom, and as we said in our
letter last week, we have per-
feet confidence in the patriotism
and ability of President Mckinley
to meet the situation, and believe
he will meet it to the entire salts.
faction of every lover of his
country.
Senator'S Thurston, Proctor, Gray
and some others have gone to Cuba
to investigate upon their own &C
count, and thoroughly ascertain
the facts from personal knowledge.
Prayers are not always answered.
On Friday the House chaplain ask
ed lervently for peace in his invo-
cation, and shortly after Messrs.
Cannon and Grosvenor were engag-
ed in exposing the appropriations

Secretary Alger was asked if he
had not run great risk in con-
tracing for 1000 600 projectiles in
advance of an appropriation by
Congress. He replied: "If an
American Congress will not appro-
pirate money for such a purpose in
this emergency, 1 will myself pay
the obligation"

COMMENDS MCKINLEY.

London, March THE Times,
editorially, this morning says:
If Spain is placed In an awkward
position respecting the Lee incidet
she must thank the indiscretion of
her foreign office. She cannot
blame President Mckinley. Mr..
Cannon's bill can hardly be explain
ed by the Lee incident. 1t is pro-
badly due to the rumors that Spain
is purchasing war vessels.
"We do not believe that Spain
desires war, but if she does, this
evidence Of American alertness
offers Il most otfectual check. Presi-
dent Mckinley is adhering legally
to the policy of firmness which he
has hitherto pursued No doubt he
has the support of the sober and
conscientious mass of the Ameri-
can people, but he has had to face
outbursts of popular clamor that a
weaker man have mistaken for the
voice of the untry
"The completely of the Spanish
government in the Maine disaster
is hypothesis too monstrous TO be
entertained, and except that, there
is nothing impossible of arrange
ment between Spain and America,
while the intractible nature of Gu
ba's disorders cannot but inspire
thoughtful Americans with a SER
ious doubt as to the wisdom of an
neXatiOn"

Our Correspondent proposes c
Grand Rattling Of the
Dry Bones.

Dry Bones.
We noticed in your last issue the
statement that the last r. r. bond
had been paid for, and the sugges-
ton in reference to celebrating the
event in some way. "Lets" do it.
We suggest that we all take a free
ride on our r.. r.. We should turn
out, from the oldest to the youngest
male and female and have a grand
day of it, if need be make a two
days affair of it and have a barbe-
cue in the end.
We would suggest also-well sew
eral things: First, that the process
ion shall be headed by the old faith
ers that voted to issue the bonds at
first, let them be tendNrly cared for,
placed in carriages and easy vehic-
les of various sorts, as they have
grown old since that day when they
were in the full vigor of manhood,
and were overly sanguine and had
so much confidence in a corporation
with unscrupulous men at its head
they know better now.
Second in order of procession we
would have the next generation
fall in line that they may be bene.
flied by the object lesson before
them; object lessons are very i'm
pressive sometimes.
We would have the ladies and
children take the street cars for
which right of way was granted
some years back, and let them be
followed by procession made up
of a representation of the various
industries that have never material
lied in Maryville; the Stock Com
pany who control the Water Works
might lead off, followed by the
North Maryville Real Estate Co.
accompanied by the party that
(never) built the $4,000 Hotel over
there on the hill. We would sug-
gest that they wear wells to protect
them from the idle stare of the on
lockers. After this company the
wooden hollow-ware Co. might fall
in, followed by the Maryville I'M
provement Co. and Iron ore men:
Then the Company that didn't open
up that large pork-packing estab.
lishment, accompanied by the
Stockholders in the various outside
companies wo reside in Maryville;
such as the Elizabethton Coopera-
tive Town Co., The Jellico and Bird
Eye Coal Co., that cheap Fire ms,
Co. on the mutual plan and others.
We suggest that if we can per-
suade the City Marshall and his
numerous small deputies, to stop
chasing some poor old COW or old
lear, slabsided hog that are only
doing a legitimate business in our
streets, like the rest of us, /. e. pick
ing up living, l say if we can get
them to take command of the COM
pany, it would be bound to be a
grand success.
We might, after taking the free
ride on our r. R.. change cars at the
junction and take the Black Dia-
mond double track road for the
Mountain where we could kill the
fatted OK, have free lunch and wash
it down with--not mountain dew or
monnshine, neither that legalized
soul destroyer gotten up by the man
that has the long beard and walks

Gen. Owings is a Candle ate for
Congress.

O''6' @S'o'
On Thursday last, Gen. L. d.
Owings, of this place, while in the
city Of Knoxville, announced him
self as candidate for congress.
This is the first man from Roane
county that ever had the nerve to
enter the field for congressional
honors Gen. Owings was born and
raised in old Roane, has lived here
all his life. He has represented the
county in the Legislature, he has
served twelve years as Attorney
General, in both positions he has
made good record. 1t is true also
that during the twelve years as
prosecuting attorney he has made
some enemies.
Gen. Owings belongs to one of the
old families of the county and is
related to hundreds of the very best
people in the county, and being a
Roane county boy, besides a man
of great ability, a good stumper,
and an able lawyer, it seems to us
that his chances for good majority
in his native county is beyond dis
pute. From what we can gather
he will be a very strong candidate
in the counties of Scott, Morgan,
Roane, Anderson, Knox, Blount,
Loudon and Sewer.
| The only trouble we see IS that
there are three other splendid men
in the field besides Judge Gibson,
the present incumbent is an able
man and he will certainly make a
very strong fight for a renomina-
ton. We believe that the oppo-
sition to Judge Gibson is in the ma
jority in this district and the uues-
ton is, can it be concentrated on
one man? If it can then tie Judge
is certainly defeated, bot if the OPP
position is divided, then Gibson will
no doubt be returned To Congress as
his own successor. The strongest
opposition to Gibson comes from the
old soldier element. They claim
that they have been ignored as to
appointments, how this is, time will
develop.
1t seems now as though Gen.
Owings is in the lead and if the op-
position can be concentrated on him
his nomination Qet it be a primary
or delegate convention) is assured.
One thing is sure he is in tune
and the race will now grow inter-
esting. For both he and Gibson
have tongues like a edged sword
and we presume they will spare
not. Our candid opinion is that with
a clear field, Owings will be our
next congressman. ROane county
is one of the best counties in the
state, and she is offering splendid
man to represent this district in
congress, and we see no reason why
man from an out side county can
not go TO congress as well as a man
from Knox. We are not in favor of
a fight on Knox county, but there
is no need of manipulating every
thing in reach. There are thous-
ands of fair people there that be-
lieve change of base would be a
good thing.-Rockwood Times.

House last week.

The New York Herald correspon-
dent at Havana now writes to his
paper that he is thoroughly con-
vinced tnat the Maine was blown
up by a SUBJ marine mine. The
Herald has been the persistent
friend OF Spain up to this time, but
apparently has now abandoned
that position.

UNLOADING COAL.
Two Ways of DischsrG;ng Coal From Ca
naNJGsts Into Carts.

Scoops like those that are used IL
taking up mud from under water, IL
deepening slips, that shut together il
the mud, biting out u great moGthful OF
it to be lifted up and dropped into Il
scow, are also used in unloading coal
in taking coal out of boats The ordinary
way Of unloading coal from boats into
carts on the wharf alongside is with
big scoops holding quarter Of ton
each, which are hung Oh pivots so thai
when they are cast loose they can easily
be upset and cr'ptied. These scoops aro
filled in the boat by ren who tip the
SCOOP Oh it's side toward the coal and
scrape the coal down into it until it is
almost full and then right it mp and
finish filling it witt slIovels. The scoop
Is hooked on to rope and bOizted up
by horse or steam power to the driver
waiting with his cart Oh the wharf,
who omptics the SCOOP into his cart.
Meanwhile the men below are filling
another scoop. The shovelers who do
this work earn good wages, bat they
must be men Of strength and endurance,
and they may have to work long hours.
The steam scoop is used in ouly the
smaller sizes of coal, but the work that
1t does is done much cheaper than ii
could be done by hand shoveling. The
scoop is dropped open upon TIE coal in
the hold Of canalboat and then closed
by power operated by the engineer who
runs it. The separated lower edges OF
the two parts Of the scoop are drawn to-
gether down through the coal until they
meet, thus holding the coal inclOsed.
The scoop is then hoisted up and
swung in by power, not over the cart
but over en- elevated pocket or biz
which has a spout on each side so tba
two carts can load at once. When il
has been swung in, the scoop is opened
to discharge its contents into the pocket
and then it is swung out again and onc'
more dropped open upon the coal IN TIT
boat below.-New York Sun.
