GADSDEN.
Sensation Brewing in Military Circles.
 Company May Disband.
Draining.

Gadsden August S.-(special.) )-There Is a sensation brewing in military cir eles in Gadsden which will doubtless end in the disbandment of the Etowah Rifles for the want of efficient organization and proper membership. At a meeting of the company held a few nights, since the privates asked for the resignation of every officer from captain down to fifth corporal Captain Will A. Echols Iieutenants Charles Echols and R. K. Foster at once handed in their resigna- tions, but it is not known what Lieuten- ants Will R. Gwin will do The nature of the trouble has not leaked out except that the boys became dissatisfied while at the recent eneampment and came home and demanded the resignation of the officers One private says that 1t is their intention to change the command from one end to the other. while an- other says that the company showed up bad in every respect and that the mem- bership should be changed and not the officers Captain Echols has been in wretched health for a number of years and it has been next to impossible for him to devote much attention to the com pany. He Is popular with the boys and 1t Is known that their kick is not thrust at him.
 The Rifles as a company has not been very efficient since the SpanishAmer iean war and few people believed that the company would pass muster under the recent inspection by the United States officer and when they were com plmented it was a great surprise to the people What will be the final outcome Is not known and it is looked for with interest.
 A call has been issued for good roads convention to be held at Centre, Chero- kee county, on Saturday, August b, at 10 o'clock. The Hon. John l.. Burnett and Judge J. H, Lovejoy, of Etowah county, have been invited to be pres ent and make talks.
 meeting was held at Dixon's shop, beat 9. in Cherokee county one night this week and a socialist club was or ganzed with ten members with one of the young men of that section as the leader. The meeting was quickly broken up by the ineensed residents in that sec ton by the liberal throwing of rotten eggs. The movement is confined to one beat in Cherokee cOunty

TIE write-up fiend is again in
the land, as we note from some of
our exchanges. This is a sleek in
dividual that swoops down upon
the business men of a town and in
veigles them into paying him any
old sum that they can be worked
for to secure a special write-up in a
special edition of the local paper,
the local paper as rule a accepting
scant remuneration for its services
while the sleek stranger walks off
with the Doodle, and is swallowed
up by the earth. The production
as a rule is worth no more than
the regular edition to advertise the
country, while the personal and
business write-ups have cost more
than good, judicious local adver-
Using of far more value to those
paying for same. The newspaper
has received but slight benefit from
the scheme, Its patrons have sim
ply impoverished their advertising
purse to the extent they contribute
to the travelling takir, and will cut
out a part of the sum set aside for
legitimate local advertising. The

nothing to do with the persistent

Spokane & Kootenai Surveyors Arrive

SPOKANE q Nootenai Surveyors Arrive
The engineers of the Spokane &
Kootenai railway. surveying south
from Crows Nest line of the Ca
madam road, reached the Koutenai
river during the week and passed
through Bonners Ferry on Wed
nesday on their way to camp on
the south side of the river. They
went into camp at the Desmond
ranch, about three miles east of
town. The present purpose will
be to survey line from the mouth
of the Moyie up through Paradise
valley, crossing over the Great
Northern near CIossport with an
overhead bridge. The grade from
the river to the summit in Para
disc valley is heavy, and was re-
jected by the Great Northern when
that line was located, and again
when the new grade was establish
ed between Bonners Ferry and
Naples, 1t would look as though
the S. & K. people were inclined
to make the climb, however.
1t will be sometime before the
intentions of the engineers are
known, as there seems to be no
doubt but that in addition to the
Paradise valley route, surveys will
be made through town via. Moyie
Springs, by Spread creek, and per
haps another line farther west
going up Deep creek.

DESTITUTION IN CHINA.
Over a Million Natives Reported to Be
Starving.

Further news of the distressing situation
in China reached the Secretary of State
this morning in the following cable from
Mr.. McWade, our consul general at Canton:
Gov. Wong telegraphs me that over a
million natives in Kwang ST are starving,
and earnestly appeals for help from Ameri-
can charity. All relief distribution through
the hands of American and British mission
aries"
Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, the Chinese
minister here, called at the State Depart
ment today and was placed in possession
of such advices as the officials had respect
ing the terrible distress in Kwang 81. The
minister was unable to suggest any measure
of relief for his suffering countrymen. So
the State Department, although not anxious
to embark in wholesale charitable enter
prises, will undertake to do what 1t can In
forwarding relief measures, and will trans
NIT directly to Mr.. McWade, the consul gen.
eral at Canton, any funds which the char
ftably inclined people of America may care
to contribute for the benefit of the famine
sufferers Mr.. McWade has already stated
that he can avail of the numerous Ameri-
can and British missions in China to dis
tribute the money to the best advantage.

The North China Daily News tells of the
adoption of the Russian tactics by Japan
which power is gathering forces in Corea

On the general situation in Manchuria
the North China Daily News says:
Reliable news has been received by local
mandarins of the great increase Of Russian
soldiers in Manchuria. Port Arthur is one
succession of large camps. In answer to
Chinese questions the men say they expect
war with Japan, whose troops would most
likely try to enter Manchuria through the
western coast of Liaotung.
Advised to Return.
Russian officers, friendly with Chinese,
have earnestly advised them to return with
their families to China and not come back
until after the war, on the ground that the
whole of I.iaotung and southern Manchuria
will soon be a great battlefield"

Ambassador Mccormick Repudiates
Statement Attributed to Him.


Statement Attributed to Him.
Mr. Robert S. Mccormick. United States
ambassador to Russia, called at the State
Department this morning and paid his re-
spects to Secretary Hay. He afterwards
took luncheon with Maj. Gen. and Mrs.
Corbin. He is on his way to Cleveland to
attend the marriage of his son to Senator
Hanna's daughter on the 10th of the month.
The ambassador made brief oral report
to the secretary of conditions in Russia
when he left st. Petersburg and incidental
ly took occasion to point out that he had
been wrongly quoted in a newspaper as de-
claring that Russia intended to remain
permanently in Manchuria. The substance
of his statement was that Russia had
large interests in Manchuria, and that she
would probably remain in possession as
long as the railroad needed protection.
Mr.. Mccormick declines to discuss the
Kishineff troubles, saying that they occurred
since. his departure from Russia. He ex-
poets to attend the commencement exer-
c:ses of the University of Virginia, of
which institution he is a graduate.

Secretary Root has decided that buildings
may be erected upon land on Cushings Is
land, Maine. before title is actually vested
in the United States. The law prior to 1898
provided that no buildings for any purpose
should be erected by the United States until
the title to the ground was complete. but a
joint resolution passed that year provided
that buildings for emergencies could be
erected before the title was complete. 1t
appears that buildings for range finders and
other purposes in connection with the COM
ing military maneuvers are needed, and
that is recognized as an emergency. and
the permit is granted. 1t is the intention
of the government to complete the purcha Sc
