MUST LEAVE COREA ALONE
JAPAN QUITE DETERMINED ON
 THIS ONE POINT.
VIII Not Tolerate Any Russian Move EndangerIng That country's Inde- pendence Doubt as to chIna's Atti- Iude in Case of war-The Situation Uncertain. =.


 London, Oct. 15.-A despatch from Kobe to the Daily Mall dated October IA says: @
 "The Russian minister and the Japan ese foreign minister conferred to-day. It is reported that a council of the s'elder' statesmen Veterans outside the cabinet) adopted a resolution yesterday to the effect that Japan cannot tolerate any Russian move endangering the in- dependence of Corea. Russian military activity at Yongampho and beyond the Yalu river continues" E...t. 2.
 The St. Petersburg correspondent of the same paper says that Russia claims under treaty with China the right to retain troops in Manchuria as the robber bands constitute a danger to the Russian railway.
 The correspondent learns that Gen. eral Kouropatkin, the Russian war minister, will shortly retire.
 2 q le .t 5s
 The Morning Post claims to have ex- cellent authority for the statement that Japan has no intention of issuing an ul- tinatum but has asked Russia for an assurance that she is not seeking to in clude Corea in her sphere of influence. The negotiations have been extended over long period. Russia at one point offered to give satisfactory undertak- ing in regard to Corea on the condition that Japan would undertake not to sup port any demand for the evacuation of Manchuria. Japan declined to give such an undertaking, being determined to keep the two questions separate.
 Japan's view is, says the Morning Post, that while Corea is of vital inter- est to her, Manchuria is not and she is disinclined to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for Great Britain and the United States by issuing an ultimatum or taking any action with regard to Manchuria except in cooperation with the other powers whose interests are equally involved.
 It is believed that neither power de- sires war, not only on account of finan- cial difficulties, but because of the doubt as to what course China would take in such "a war.
 The correspondent or the Morning Post at Chefoo, telegraphing under date Of October 15, says that the rumors of an impending war continue. but it is impossible to Obtain authentic informa- ton. In thf event of an outbreak the opinion in tthefoo is favorable to the success of the Japanese navy. It is be- 1ieved that the newsly equipped Chi nese troops would ally themselves with Japan in any campaign against Russia, which she might undertake in Manchu- ria.
 The Russian torpedo fotilla far ex- ceeds in actual number any official ad- mission. Many of them have been completed and fitted at Port Arthur. A dispatch from Shanghai to the Daily Telegraph says the Russo-Japanese sit- uation is uncertain and the outcome de- pefds entirely on Russia's willingness to make concessions.

IN THE HANDS OF THE JURY
TILLMAN CASE HANDED OYER
 YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
senator Tillman Present at the Closing Arguments-So Verdict Reached Up to Late Last Night-Judge Holds Him.. self in Reaaines. to Hear at Any Mo. ment the Finding of tho Jury.

Lexington, s. C., Oct. 14 The closing arguments in the case of J. IT. Tillman were made to-day. and at 1:42 this af- ternoon Judge Gary gave the case to the jury.
 The arguments consumed two and a half days. Senator Tillman, uncle of the defendant, was present to-day. Colonel Croft made the closing address for the defendant and final appeal for his acquittal. In summing up the de- fendants's case he dwelt upon the tes- timony of witnesses for the defense relative to the position of Gonzales' hands as he approached Tillman. He also pressed the point that the defend- ant was to be judged in the light of circumstances as they appeared to him..
 Colonel Croft was followed by Gen. eral G. B. Bellinger, who closed for the state and made the final argument of the trial. General Bellinger made a general summing up of the states case, analysing and comparing it with the testimony of witnesses for the defense and calling especial attention to the witnesses whose veracity had been at tackled by the state. Counsel having concluded, Judg Gary charged the jury.
 The jury had not reached a verdict at 11:15 p. m, having been out over nine hours Judge Gary went to his hotel, but stated that he would be ready at any moment to hear the verdict.

A vacation pays as much from the

working and planning, or trying to do 80,
with a tagged, weary brain. The brutal
qualities In mans nature come to the
surface when he has drained his vitality
to the dregs. He loses his seIf-contrtl
and his passions get the better Of him.
he does things which In his soul he con-
dennis, and says things for which he
afterwards hates himself, and an because
he lacks physical stamina. The long
strain OF the year has made him 40 irri

npsets him. He goes all to pieces over
little things which he would not even

An English officer who some years
ago was wounded in battle in India
and left lying all night among the ma
tive dead and wounded tells this story:
Next morning we spied a man and
an old woman, who came to us with
a basket and pot of water, and to
every wounded man she gave piece
of joaree bread from the basket and
a drink from her water pot. To us she
gave the same, and | thanked heaven
and her. But the Soobahdar was
high caste Rajpoot, and, as this woman
was a Chumar or of the lowest caste,
he would receive neither water nor
bread from her | tried to persuade
him to take it that he might live. but
he said that in our state, with but
few hours more TO linger, what was II
little more or less suffering to us-why
should he give up his fate for such an
object? No; he preferred to die I'M
polluted"

Modern Athletic Training.

The trainer of generation ago
would simply have stood aghast at the
sweets and other savory food stuffs
eaten by your modern rowing or run
ming collegians. Yet it may be doubted
if the physique either of the individual
athlete or of the nation ever stood at
a higher general standard of fitness"
One pertinent fact with regard to train
ing is that both past tradition and pres
ent practice condemn with emphatic
voice the use of tobacco and alcohol
and other indulgences to which healthy
man-wonderful animal that he isis
unhappily prone. So long as the main
principles of temperance, plain living
and abundant exercise are carefully APP
piled to the man in training SO long
will the results be likely to succeed.
Every human being living under rea-
sonably good conditions of environ
ment ought to be, like the healthy
schoolboy, always in a state of train
