Leading Russian journals are now
proudly drawing attention to the fact
that there has been for some time in
the hospital at Tomsk man who has
lived for more than 200 years, Know
ing well that the public would be 10th to
believe such story unless ample ev-
idence of its truth were forthcoming
they further point out that they have
carefully examined his birth and mar
riage certificates and can testify that
his married life lasted 47 years and that
he has been a widower 1875 years This
wonderful man has been bedridden for
some time, but his brain Is as clear as
ever it was. and nothing pleases him
more than to tell visitors how he once

SHOOTING IN FLORENCE.

Florence, May 14.-Mr. Robert j.
Whirton, popular young Coast Line
engineer of this city, was shot and
probably fatally wounded by Mr.: K.
A. Hatlay, young sewing machine
agent of Lee County, at a house in the
northern part of the city, about IL
O'Clock last night. The story Of the
tragedy is almost unobtainable, owing
to the fact that all present refrain
from giving an account Of what nap
peped. From what could be gathered,
however, it seems as if a dispute was
going on and young Whitton tried to
act as peacemaker, and was attempt
ing to keep Hatley and another young
man from getting into personal
encounter, when Hatley drew pistol
and fired. The ball entered below the
second rib, near the collar bone srang-
ing downward and pierced the lung.
Wilton was carried home, and Drs.
Mcleod and Gregg were soon at his
side. He has been in an unconscious
condition most Of the time and the
physicians fear that he cannot recover.
Hatley was arrested this mornbing at
his boarding house and is now in jail
awaiting the result Of his pistol shot.
Whitton is e clever young man and is
highly respected. and the terrible
tragedy that will probably cost him
his life is deeply deplored by our peo-
pie. Hatley has not been in Florence
long, and is not generally known. It
is stated that Hatley is married man.

The REDUCTION OF AAVIEs.
British Government Does Not
Think the Proposition Feasible
at This Time.

London, Nay 1.-THE question Of
the reduction of naval armaments came
ND today in the House of Commons
in the course of the discussion Of the
navy estimates. The speakers suggest
ed that the Government take the first
step in proposing a reduction to other
Powers. Sir Charles Dixie. Adanced
Radical. said he thought this might
be possible.
IN view of the improved relations
betewen Great Britain and France
those two nations might talk the
matter over and subsequently approach
Russia. Even if Germany did not
agree to a reduction the three Powers
might effect something. It was not
necessary for Great Britain to build
against the United States. It would
be as great a mistake to count upon
the United States as an enemy as to
count upon her as an active ally, for
the United States had, always been
the great defender of Ghe rights of
neutrals.
Mr.. Arnold Forster, the admiralty
secretary, after having pointed out
that it was the duty of the admiralty
to deal with facts as they were, and
not as they might be, said that all the
great Powers were increasing their
maritime preparations, notably Rus
sia. According to the available
figures France and Russia together
were now building three more battle
ships than Great Britain.
Whether European Powers and the
Power across the Atlantic might come
to some agreement in regard to the
cessation of armaments was not the
question he had to deal with now.
The admiralty's present duty was to
give the nation a guarantee against
attack, and more important still,
against defeat by any combination OF
Powers.

The KENTUCKY MOUHTAlNEERS.
Senator Blackburn on the Char
acter of the Men Who Shot
Attorney Marcum.

Senator Blackburn. of Kentucky,
talked freely today regarding the
situation in Breathitt county, where
Attorney J. B. Marcum was assassinat-
ed several days ago. He said that
Kentucky lawlessness was confined to
the mountains of the State, where the
most imcomprehensible people in the
world live.
"Tbey are nearly all illiterate, half
starved and almost Naked" said the
Senator, ''yet they are the most
hospitable people to be found any,
where. They are dirteaters and quar-
relsome. Many of their feuds are of a
hundred years. standing, and do not
believe it possible to stop their fight
ing so long as the people continue to
live. They have a peculiar code Of
honor. They never molest a woman,
nor will they shoot an enemy accom-
panied by a woman or a child.
"I knew Marcum very well.
He was fine fellow and for several
days he was able to protect himself by
simply being accompanied by a woman
or child. But they were determined
to get him and waited their chance.
These mountaineers never shoot you
except in the back. They always
shoot from the bushes and never give
man a chance for his life. In their
way they are honest. A stranger may
stop with them in the meanest hovel
and never have any fear of being rob-
bed. The mountaineer will lie on the
dirt floor and give MS bed to the
stranger. He will divide his food with
him and will be insulted if offered
any money for his hospitality, yet for
s25 he would not hesitate to seize his
rife and hide in the bushes and shoot
the first man who came along.
sThere have been various theories
advanced to account for the peculiar
nature of these people, and one is that
many years ago all the escaped convicts
from the adjoining States fed into
the mountains of Kentucky for refuge,
and their descendants are now raising
the devil. It is born in them and
nothing can eradicate it. | doubt
whether the man who killed Marcum
will ever be arrested and tried. No
one would appear against him, but he
is marked man, and sooner or later
he will be shot in the same way that
Marcum was.
ssI knew that Goebel was going to be
killed and I warned him several times,
but I made one mistake. When the
capital met in body I thought th at
it would occur then, and when they
went back to their homes I thought
the danger was passed, but should
have paid more attention to the char.
acter of the mountaineer and would
then have seen through the plans OF
| the assassin. I admit that it is a de-
plorable situation, but l cannot see
any remedy except time. Washing

Standard Oil Wants Cemetery.

Citizens of Whiting, Ind, have had
their Indignation aroused at the
Standard Oil Company, which is en-
larging its holdings at that city. The
company has bought UP what is known
as Oklahoma, tract of real estate
housing 800 people. They have been
ordered to move by May 1.
The company is also trying to pur-
chase the Whiting cemetery, which,
though unused at present, contains
hundreds of graves. The ground is

force him to sell the acreage, so that
it may build new refneries over the

GEN. MILEs's GbRBLED REPORT.
Pressure Brought to Bear on the
Secretary of War TO Force Him
to Publish the Whole Report.

Washington, D. c., May 1.-Secre-
tary Root and number of other off,
cials in the war department today re-
ceived circular letter from Herbert
Welsh, of Philadelphia, which has also
been mailed to number Of private
individuals, in reference to the report
Of Lieut.. Gen. Miles The letter de-
sires that letters be addressed to the
President, Secretary Root and others,
asking them to publish, for the in
formation and guidance of the country
the full report of Gen. Miles regard
ing affairs in the Philippine Islands.
He suggests that they especially re-
quest that the report of Major
Hunter, into the facts of the whip
ping of Filipino prisoners of war, for
the purpose of extracting information
from them,'' be included in the pub
lication. He says he has not seen
Gen. Miles's report, having been
unable to secure a copy of it from the
war department, but believes that
it contains facts that enlightened
citizens should have. He says that
e00,oO0 souls have perished in those
islands from war, famine and pestll-
ence, under our flag.
Secretary Root referred the circular
letter, he received to Judge Advocate
General Davis.
The war department today made
public the letter Of Adjt. Gen. Corbin
to Gen. Miles, answering one sent to
the Secretary of War yesterday. re-
garding the publication of Gen.
Miles's report.
The adiutant general states to whom
the report was given and s..enclosed
copies of the reports which were
furnished the press.
In Gen. Miles's reports on the
alleged cruelties, was, also criticism
of the rice transaction in the recon
centrado camps in Batangas Province,
and, discussing the MATTER, he re-
fers to a report he had received from
the commanding general in the Philip
pines, to which he refers, by saying
(copy herewith enclosed. This copy
was not furnished with the report OF
Gen. Miles, and it has been charged
that it was suppressed. The war de-
partment today made the copy refer
red to public. It is report Of Major
Gen. Davis addressed to Gen. Miles
and contains all the correspondence,
telegrams and all documents that refer
to the purchase, distribution and
sale of rice to the. people in the con-
centration camps. It is a very volum-
inous document, but the main features
we're covered in summaries which have
heretofore been published.
