Athenian Ouartette.

The members of the Athenran Quar-
tette returned last Friday after sue
cessful trip to Upper East Tennessee.
Space will not permit us to give a
lengthy account of the concerts at
White Pine, Greenville, Jonesboro,
Johnson City, Elizabethton and New
Market. The Knoxville Journal gives
the following account of the quar-
tette's visit to cambridge:
cambridge, July S.-The reception
given by the Y. P. S. C E. at the
residence of DR.. ]. A. Harris on last
Saturday evening in honor of the
members of the Athenian quartette,
of Maryville College, was one Of the
most enjoyable social events Of the
season. The young society people of
the community were present to meet
the distinguished young gentlemen
composing the quartette and extend
to them in unstinted measure that hos
pitality for which cambridge is noted.
One of the pleasant features of the
evening was the singing by the visit
ors, supplemented by local talent.
Dainty refreshments were served, and
every one present voted the affair an
unqualified success. On Monday
evening in the public hall of the court
house concert was given by the
quartette mentioned above. The hall
was filled by the people of the vicin-
age, eager to hear the vocal numbers
of the young men, whose appearance
had been pleasureably anticipated fol
weeks. A cambridge audience is
rather critical on the matter of music.
There are a number of local people
possessing rare musical talents, anc
the people are not strangers to good
singing, SO that the quartette may
congratulate themselves on the word.
of praise of which they were the re.
ciplents. They captured their audi.
ence completely, and may we'll fee

society Of which they are members
and the college of which they are stu

the best wishes of the community

The members will meet to practic,
for new program which they intent
to give early in the fall. n
The quartette will give a concert a

TOW N TALK.
DICKSON AND KIRKBY.

FinanCier And president OF blaok
Diamond Railroad in Knoxville.
Col. T. G. Dickson, fnancier Of
the proposed Black Diamond railway,
arrived in Knoxville several mornings
ago in company with Gen. VIM.
Kirkby, president OF the road.
Col. Dickson was seen at the I'm
perial;hotel. He was very willing to
be interviewed, concerning the road
he represents. He prefaced his re-
marks with the statement that Col.
Albert E. Boone had circulated some
statements about the road which were
premature and incorrect in some in
stances. The reports he said coming
to the notice of the people IN London
had put him in a ridiculous light.
He declined to specify the nature of
these statements.
When asked concerning the status
of the proposed road Col. Dickson
said:
"Just as soon as the surveys are
completed and certain franchises Sc
cured the money will be put up to
build the road. | was informed at
the outset that the surveys had been
completed for the entire llAe of the
road. If 1 had known they were not
l would not have taken hold of the
matter until they had been. found
on placing the surveys and estimates
before my people, that we had no
survey in South Carolina, We were
furnished some data from an old sur
vey made half century ago, before
people knew anything about railroads.
This was worthless. We now have
three surveying corps running lines
through South Carolina as fast as they
can work. If will require about six
weeks to complete the survey and the
estimates.
"The people who are to invest in this
enterprise are not going into it blind
ly. They have a right to demand
surveys so that they can judge as to
how much money is to be spent"
"Will the money be forthcoming
when the survey is completed was
asked.
eyes, as soon as that survey is
completed and some amendments to
the charters are made. Each board
has been submitted proposition in
volvlng a slight change in the chart
ers. anticipate there will be no
trouble in securing these concessions.
Twill take but little time to adjust
all these details"
els Sir Thomas Tancred still asso
ciated with you in financiefing the
road?' the reporter asked.
"Sir Thomas Tancredis not only
deeply interested in the matter, but is
receiving a monthly salary in payment
for his services. He is now in the
Skaguay mountains of Alaska, looking
over a railroad route. AS soon as he
completes his work there, we will re-
turn to London together. Sir Thomas
Tancred's inspection Of the Black Dia-
mond route was secured for less mon
ey than he has done such work for in
many years"
Asked if English capitol was dis
posed to turn to the south for invest
ment, Col. Dickson said:
s'There is no doubt that the indus.

turning southwark. English capital
recognizes this fully"

GREAT BASE BALL GAMES
Maryville VS.. Rome. Ca, at the lat
ter place.

Maryvlle VS.. Rome. Ca, at the lat
ter place.
The Maryvllle Base Ball team went
to Rome, Ca, for a series Of games
with the team at that place last week.
Maryville won the first game and
Rome the second. The third was
ten inning game in which the score
was tied, IL to ~. A fourth game
was played and Rome won on ac-
count of the fact that ''Hookey" Ev-
erett, who pitched three of the games
had already been up before the Rome
batters twice and he did not receive
the good support he had in the two
previous games.
The first game was wen by Mary
vile the score being 10 to a. The
Rome Tribune has the following to
say:
"Everett's twirling for Maryville,
Lewis dashing work in center and
Bells stop of a torrid grounder were
the good things in the Tennesseans'
play. Everett has slow, deceptive
delivery that you expect to see 'em
killed the next minute, but five stingy
hits is all the sluggers could snatch
off, and no two came in the same in
ming.
He showed magnificent head work
/ in several tight places. -Four times
Rome filled the sacks and nobody out,
but Everett would strike the next
man out or make them pop up weak
flies.
The Rome Commercial-Argus has
the following to about the ten inning
game:
Hot Josie! She was a warm num-
Der yesterday.
A regular nerve strainer if you had
the stuff that makes Nellie 60 on the
game.
1t was one of the fercest contested
games ever played on a Rome dia-
mond.
That's just what that game between
Rome and Maryville was yesterday.
1t was from the time the first ball
was pitched until the last one in the
tenth inning Just anybody's old game.
First Maryville, then Rome; it was
first one and then the other all the
way through.
Ten dollars for home.run! That
was one of the many propositions that
came from the grand stand in the
ninth and tenth inning, and it was Of
fered two both sides, but no home run
came.
The game was called at 4 and at
least 500 people were on the grounds,
and they just kept filing in until S
O'Clock at least 500 people were there
to witness the last game with Mary
vile.
The game yesterday ended in tie
after ten innings were played. and it
will be played off this evening.
During the ninth inning when
Maryville tied the score and had two
men on bases with only one out, the
crowd went wild and intense excite
ment prevailed, and not until the
lgame was called did it cease.
Green and Nichols were on the
slab fer the. locals, and Everett, the
visitors star pitcher, opposed them.
Each one was hit lively, but display
fine head work at critical times.
Manager James M. Gates was suf-
fering so with poisoned hand that
he had to return home while the team
went on to Admission, Ala, to play a
series of games. Mr.. Gates speaks
very highly Of the manner in which
they were entertained by the Rome
boys. He especially praises manager
Graham, who was untiring in his ef-
forts to give the boys of this place a
pleasant time. The Rome team is
composed of gentlemanly and clean
set Of b: = players.

POLICY or AGGRESSION.
How the VaterInnd Views KnutE's
Action ut Samoa.

London, April 22.-The Vienna oorre-
spondent of the Times, dwelling upon ting
"displeasure and jealousy which America =
naval and military prowess, coupled with
her rapprochement to Great Britain. has
produced throughout Austria-Iiungaiy in
tensifying the apprehensions long held
here regarding her astounding industrial
and commercial progress" quotes an edi-
torial from the Vaterand, the clerical or
gan, on the Samoan question.
The Naterland describes the Samoan ar
fair as zone of the most important sub
iects to European state policy and inter-
national diplomacy that can arise for
long time TO come"
The editorial continues in the following
vein:
THE first shot Admiral kautz fired at
Samoa was the initiation of policy of
aggression against Europe, the commence
ment of struggle fornaval supremacy"
The Naterland attributes most of the
difficulties confronting not only the Ger
mans, but all the continental Powers, TO
the "shylock policy of Great Britain, "
and to American commercial competition.
l regards the Anglo-Ameriean combina-
tion as superior in naval and economic
strength to either the dual or the triple
alliance, and advocates united action by
all European Powers against 1t.

REBEL FORCES WE'RE ROUTED.
Insurgents Are Most Active Just

Manila, April 21.--A force of about 200
rebels yesterday afternoon attacked the
outposts of the Washington regiment near
Taguig, south of Pas.g and Pateros. Two
companies Immediately engaged the ene-

ton with three companies of the Mime

cave, encountered a revel force number
ing fully 500 men. when two miles out.
The enemy retired three miles in fairly
good order, in spite OF the fact that they
suffered heavy losses. The Americans
having exhausted their ammunition, were
compelled to return to their camps
The heat is intense. At noon the ther-
momeier registered 95 degrees and the
