low, Russian consul general in this city.
in discussing the tariff dispute between
this country and Russia, today said:
1.-The whole trouble, if there be any
trouble, is due to a misunderstanding on
the part of the United States. Russia

terests that are mutual for either one
to be able to oppose the other.
siberia is large country, and when
it is opened, which will be in about two
years, America will have it for a market
almost exclusively. From the physical

The following story is told by an eye
witness of the flood:
keystone Is the metropolis of the
coal mining country. 1t has but one
narrow street, and because of limited
space many houses We're built on piles
or walls over the Elkhorn or close up
against the mountains. The town fol-

Houses, barns, bridges, fills, live stock
ana human bodies were swept away by
the mighty current or dashed on the
trees below.
Il was stopping at a hotel. At the first
warning many of the inhabitants took
refuge on the mountain sides overlooking
the town and river. More than a hun
dred people, however, remained in the
town to look after the women and child
ren who did not escape early.
The bridge leading to the depot was
soon swept away; then the angry waters
rushed through the only street in the
town. and we found hundreds of persons
cut off from the mountain retreat. The
hotel was made fast to telephone poles
by means of line.
Hundreds Of lives were saved, but in
mo tn ho
waters which swept like an avalanche
down this street many lost their hold
and in plain sight of friends We're car
ried on into the river and drowned.
Houses plunged and danced in the
mighty stream, with screaming women
and children on the roofs. Horses, cat
tie and other animals We're drowned
about us.

Gadsden, Dec. l.-(Special Correspon- dence .)-Gadsden is already growing and prosperous city and yet it's people all ambitious and want to see it expand and grow still larger. If you meet one or the leading and most public spirited cid- zens and ask him what he regards as the most important thing just now to bring that progress and prosperity so much desired to Gadsden and this section. ne will answer without hesitation, the opening of the Coosa River" AS one or them said to me ''say all the good you can about Gadsden, her industries and her splendid advantages, so freely and layishly extended by nature, but above all say a great deal about opening the Coosa and help us all you can to accom- plish that much desired result"
 The opening of the Coosa will open this country to the markets of the world and with the river competition do wonders for 1t in every way Every citizen in this section of the State fully appreciates the value of this great work and is en- listed in its accomplishments, heart and soul. and every Congressman elected ir recent years is pledged first to use his utmost endeavors to that end The value of the great work it is not possible to overestimate and 1t Is said that the moment navigation Is made possible through to the gulf that 20 per cent oi the great mass of commerce would be transferred to the Coosa River. which would make 1,15S,457 tons of freight valued at $21, ,126, 900 to he handled an. nually on the Coosa River.

Among these are coal. iron, lime. marble, granite, the states. kaolin, mica. asbestos, and many cognate minerals, with soils, clays. sandstone and other use- full materials of great variety.
 Such geological areas are found elsc- where in the United States in perfection, and each of them is indispensable in. the grand aggregate of our material re- sources, but they. are widely separated in other localities, and their transportation from one field to the other Is so expensive that their value is much diminished
 Along the banks of the Coosa River, these several formations meet. and that river is a natural conduit for their Inter- change. The forests. and the productions of these several systems. are indigenous to such formations, and are very rich and varied
 The, use of the Coosa River as the com mercial outlet to the ocean for this in- mense field of industry, in agriculture, forests, quarries and mines, is a great national duty that Is devolved on Con- gress. The United States, being the para mount power entitled to improve this river. the States. of Georgia and Alabama cannot do this necessary work.
 Congress has continuously prosecuted this national duty, and the only question is whether it shall now be abandoned, or prosecuted to a success that Is commen' surate with it's vast importance.
