The British iron masters are becoming
alarmed about losing the iron
trade of the world. So many orders that
went to England are now being
sent to the United States, it is rot strange
that British iron men are getting alarmed.
The mean tlings that Senator'S Tillman
and Teller are saying about the treatment
our government is giving the Filipinos
may be permissible in Senators, but. such
utterances are likely to make all loyal
Americans have a profound contempt for
the miserable demagogs who take such a
course for partisan ends.
News comes from China that il is the
purpose of the powers in that country to
thoroughly recognize its navy and army.
1t is also proposed to employ American
and British naval officers in efecting the
reorganization of the Chinese navy. If the
plan could be carried far enough for Amer
leans and British to man the guns, China
would then have sure enough navy. ~
The Richmond daily papers are giving
the Constitutional Convention good deal
of taffy these days; and at the same time
they are pleading with the convention not
to create a Corporation Commission with
authority for controlling the railroads and
other corporations in the State. This
looks little suspicious. So much so that
many persons begin to think that the
Richmond papers are largely controlled by
the corporations.

RichIands Coming to the Front

Richlands is again coming to the front,
the Town Hill Coal Company, who are
mining very valuable S-foot vein OF coal,
about one mile West of Richlands, are
working and shipping coal, and we are
told by its efficient manager, Mr.. A. M.
Stinson, that in a very short time he Will
be shipping cars per day.
The Big Creek Coal Company, who have
a valuable lease of about 5000 acres of coal
land, which they have leased from the
Clinch Valley Coal & Iron Company, just
Immediately North of Richlands, are min
ing right along, having found a valuable
vein of coal on the leased premises, and
they claim that just as soon as their engine
arrives they will be in shape to ship five
cars of coal per day in very short space
of time. They have recently had their
coal analyzed, and it showed the following
analasys: Volatile matter, 27.4l; fixed
carbon, 6S. 40; ash, 1.62. This shows this
coal to be equal to the Pocahontas coal for
steam purposes, and parties that have
tried it pronounce it of the very best
quality for steam purposes, and the low
percentage of ash in it proves it to be
very superior quality of coal.
The Fugate Company's business adds
considerably to the town. They brinG
over about two standard box cars of lum
ber each day, and their business helps ou
the merchants of the town wonderfully.
The TriState Mining and Manufacturing
Company, who have purchased the Glas
Factory, will before long have IN opera
ton plant that will grind 100 tons o
Baryta per day, and employ 50 men.

ton to all matters entrusted to it, and to
SO use its ample capital and surplus so as tc

charged with homicide. William Barclay
Parsons, chief engineer of the Rapid Tran
sit Company, tonight said that Shaler was
one of the most competent and careful en-
gineers that he ever knew.
The damage may exceed 100000. The
first estimate on the Murray Hill Hotel
placed the loss at 100000, but later the
hotel was abandoned as unsafe. If the
building is condemned, the loss on it alone
will approach 81 100000. The damage to
the Grand Hotel was estimated at $40,-

No estimate was made of the loss to the

witnesses for the defendants was begun.
After dinner several witnesses, prominent
gentlemen from North Tazewell, were In

law-abiding citizens. Counsel for the de-
PENDANTS then put on The witness stand
George, John, and ]. w. Jones, in the

SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS.
They VIII Insist Upon Enforcement of
State Election Laws.

Washington, Jan. 27.-At a caucus to-
night of Southern Republicans in Congress
steps were taken looking to the prepara'
ton of measure to be introduced in both
houses comprising an amalgamation of the
bills already presented in the House by
Messrs. Bartholdt, of Missouri, and Glib
son, of Tennessee, for the enforcement of
the election laws. Senator Pritchard, of
North Carolina, presided, and after the
matter had been thoroughly discussed he
designated Mr.. Gibson to prepare the pro-
posed measure, whose features were ten
tatively agreed upon. These Senator
Pritchard says provide for the honest en-
forcement of the State election laws, give
the right of minority representation and
means by which the aggrieved party con-
testing an election case may be heard by
the State canvassing board. If he is dis
appointed with the result he is to have
the right of appeal to the district judge,
who is clothed with power to hear and try
questions of law and fact de novo raised
before the canvassing board and to issue
the certificate of election to the person
having tie highest number ofvotes. This
is to constitute prima facie evidence of bis
election upon which he may be sworn in
by the House.
There was some discussion of the Crum-
packer bill which reduces the Congression
al representation in the South on the
basis of the vote cast at election, but the
sentiment of nearly all the members pre-
sent was against it. In its stead they will
offer the measure agreed upon tonight.
There were present at the meeting in addi- |
ton to Senator Elkins and Representatives
Bartholdt, Gibson, of Tennessee, Boering,
of Kentucky, Moody, of North Carolina,
Gains, of West Virginia, DoEener, of West
Virginia and Ball of Delaware.

The smallpox scare is about over at
Tazewell. Ted Kits, who had slight

and there has been no new cases from ex-

any.

Louisville, KY, January 2S.-Admlral
Schley, who under the chaperonage of the
board of trade and the Knights Templar,
who will be Louisvilles guest until Friday
next, arrived here over the Monon road
at 7:l5 o'clock this evening. He was
greeted by an admira's salute and a
shouting crowd of many hundreds at the
depot. He was escorted to his carriage by
the full committee representing his hosts,
and was taken to the residence of Marion
E. Taylor, president of the board of trade.
Here the admiral and Mrs. Schley spent a
quiet evening.
The trip from Chicago was one long ova-
ton, and so vigorous were some of the
handcasps which the distinguished sea-
man received enroute that his right hand
was nearly "out of business" as the admi-
raj explained.
The admiral made no speeches on the
trip, although at some Of the stops he
spoke few words of greeting. He ap-
peared on the platform at every station
and bowed.
