Has Been Reported.

LONDON. March 9.-In introducing na-
val estimates In the house OF commons
today. the first lord Of the admiralty.
Right Honorable George J. Goschen. said
that never mad estimates been submitted
under such unique circumstances.
Ahead was the conference for ihterna-
tlonal disarmament. while behind were
the incidents Of last November and while
the comparison Of the naval strength Of
the various countries was in every mouth,
the utmost confidence was shown In Brit
ish preparedness 10 meet all emergeuc!es.
The continental powers. he further said,
were disturbed bv the allegation that
Great Britain was preparing, with par
ticular purpose. for an aggressive action,
but. the minister asserted. the idea never
entered the mind Of the government
Mr. GOschen said her majesty's gov
ernment proposed TO make Wel-Hai-Wel
Che war port on the northern coast Of
shan Tung peninsula) a secondary naval
base.
VI. Gosehen informed the house that the
personnel Of the navy for the coming
year would be increased by $50 men,
making a total OF llO.siO, at a cost OF
e44740O0
Referring TO shipbuilding, he said the
coming program had been framed after
consideration Of the programs OF other
powers. A study OF these programs. he
pointed out. was not reassuring The
United States, Russia, France. Japan,
Italy and Germany had under consider
alton 6S5.OOO tons OF warships, or Z25,0O0
tons more than was contemplated in the
present estimates. This had forced the
government to draw up new program.
Excluding last years supplemental pro-
gram, 1t provided for two ironclads. two
armored cruisers and three smaller
cruisers OF especially high speed.
Mr.. Goschsn announced in behalf OF
her majeciy's government that, II the
other great naval powers were prepared
TO diminish their programs, Great Brit
ain was prepared to modify hers; but
II the cars desires were not realized. the
program would have to stand.

TO cEDE FORT
wRANGEL TO CANADA.
The Citizens Calm American Laws Have
Been Neglected and Desire Can
adian Protection.

SEATTLE. March s.-The citizens OF
Fort Wrangel. Alaska. are said by late
arrivals from the north to be drawing
up a petition asking the joint high COM
mission to cede their town to Canada.
They desire to be the center Of Canadian
travel 10 the Interior and think change
Of flags would help their business
chances. The only excuse they offer for
their desire to get from under the Amer
lean flag is that the principles and laws
for which that flag stands are not in
effect in Alaska. They claim that me
territory has been abused and neglected
ana that the present laws are unnt to
live under.
Wrangel is the starting point into the
Stickeen or all Canadian trail. 1t proved
a dismal failure last year, and the gov
ernment has about given up all hopes OF
getting to the interior that way. 1t Is.
doubtful II Canada would accept Wrangel
as the British entrance. wrangel is one
of the oldest settlements in Alaska, and
has about 800 population.

TO BUILD RAILROADS
IN THE PHILIPPINES.
New York for the Purpose OF Form
Ing a Stock Company

NEW YORK. March s-Edouard c.
Andre the Belgian consul at Manila. is
at the Hotel Marlborough. He win be
in New York a month trying to form
stock company with a capital Of $1,000
O0 for investment In the Philippine
islanls.
Mr. Andre is confident there is a great
field for American capital in the Philip
pines. and the company which he pro-
poses to form will put the money into the
development OF a railroad system for the
islands.
Mr.. Andre thinks that more than 1900
miles OF railroad can be run very profit
ably In various parts OF this country's
new acquisition. and of hand puts the
cost OF building such railroad at about
$4,000 a mile.
According TO Mr.. Andre. only one-tenth
OF the territory is In a state Of cultiva-
ton. the land uncultlvated being quite as
good as that which is being worked.
This land he assumes, colonizers from
the country can receive free OF coast
island grants from the United States
He says 1900 or 1000 acres would not
be large grant for a single individual.
one thousand dollars. he says, would
clear 9Oo acres OF land for cultivation.
Mr. Andre has many specimens Of Phil
ippine products including coal, iron, cop
per and gold.
The consul says only 5000 Insurgents
are in arms, or about half the number
arrayed against Spain. He thinks armed
opposition will cease when this country
announces It's intention as to the form
Of government decided upon.
Andre is negotiating for the services
Of Frederick f. Foster OF St. Paul an
on Philippine matters, to take
executive charge Of the new syndicate.
Mr.. Foster represented the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company at Manila for 20
Years.
'"The Philippines are no place said |
Mr. Andre, "for men of little or no cap
tal, but for big syndicate there is
much money to be made We propose !

KILLED IN A RAID
Three men attempt to rob the Bank
of Sevierville.

Three men attempt to rob the Bank
of Sevierville.
On last Thursday, our little neigh
boring town of Sevierville was the
scene of a deed which would rival
Jesse James in his balmiest days.
Three men, Will and Cal Derricks,
and Pearl Thurman made a desperate
attempt to rob the bank.
The two Derricks are from Knox
vile, and Thurman is a resident of
Sewer County. Will Derrick runs a
livery stable in the above named city
and it was at this barn the plan was
conceived to rob the bank. The men
had been drinking freely OF that stuff
which ruins the body and destroys the
soul, and it was while under the In
fuence of whisky they committed the
deed.
The plans of the would-be-robbers
became known, by the timely as
sistance of friends, and a warm re-
ception awaited them when they ar
rived at the bank about 9 o'clock
Thursday morning. They rode down
Main Street at break-neck speed
with black caps over their faces, and
halted in front of the bank. Will
Derrick Immediately fired into the
bank, and then the men who were
in the Masonic building began firing
upon the robbers. They were all
wounded at the first fire, and two OF
their horses were killed. Will Derrick
Immediately jumped on his horse and
started to run-and did get about a
mile away, when his horse dropped
dead. He was persued by posse and
he took refuge in barn, and when
called upon to surrender placed re-
volver to his head, and killed himself
rather than be taken. He was wouded
in several places and would have died.
HIS brother Cal Derrick, was
wounded twice, and took refuge in a
hotel, where he was captured, and
has since been bound over to court,
and is now in jail.
Pearl Thurman, who was thought
to be dead-is still alive, but it is
thought he will die as he was wound
ed fatally.
All of the men are young, their
ages being respectively Will Derrick
a6, Cal Derrick "a, and Pearl Thur
man IS.
They had evidently planned to
make the raid at prepltious time, for
there is usually but one man in the
bank at 9 o'clock in the morning.
The telephone wires had been cut be-
tween Knox ,ille and Sevierville.

Shall We Have 1t or Not? Think
Twice Before Acting.
For some time past, several men
have been in our midst trying to Sc
cure right of way for a branch road
from Maryville to CANDLES Store this
county. AS yet they have been un-
able to secure a right of way for the
road and for hume which runs sew
eral miles up the river.
What are we going to do about it1
Are we going to let this opportunity
for improvement 60 by? 1t is need
less for us to say that this road would
be of great benefit to our county. 1t
would enhance the value of the land
through which it would pass, open up
way for the valuable timber which
covers our mountains to be shipped to
market.
The company would be obliged to
spend thousands of dollars, of which
we would be the recipients. What if
a few moss backs do kick. They
have been kicking ever since they
came into existence. By all means
let us have the road. Let us act
quickly. Do not let this opportunity
pass.

raid into Tuckaleechee Cove, on last
Tuesday and captured two moon
sinners, and conscripted seventy.fve
gallons of Mountain "booze" The
whiskey was slowed in the K. & A..

The men were not molested when
they destroyed the still, and had an
easy time catching the men, for they
were at home under the bed, and
showed no fight. The whisky was
slowed about in barrels.
The distillery was located near the
place where one was operated by

This is "big catch" and the officers
deserve great credit for their work.
