Since the war some of the privates
have told with great relish of the old
farmer near AppomattoX who decided
to give employment after the surrender
of any of Lees veterans who might
wish to work a few days for food and
small wages. He divided the Confeder-
ate employees into squads according to
the southern cause. A neighbor in
quired of him as to the different squads.
Who are those men working there?''
Them is privates, sir. of Lees
army"
We'll, how do they work."
Very well sir; first rate workers.
Them is lieutenants and captains,
and they works fairly well. but not as
good workers as the privates.
Il see you have hired a third squad
who are they?"
Them is colonels.'

do they work?"

KISCHINEfF MASSACRE.
Investigation of the Judges Said to
Be Very Thorough.

st. Petersburg. Dec. 9.-The first trial
of persons alleged to be involved in
the massacre of Jews at Kischineff
will be concluded this week, it is ex-
pected. The court has already taken
the evidence of $50 witnesses. One of
the leading counsel, NJ. Shmakoff,
handed his brief to colleague because
he was compelled to go to Moscow on
official business. This gave rise to a
report that the counsel for the defense
had thrown up their briefs and that
the prosecuting counsel were expected
to do likewise because of the alleged
refusal of the court to interrupt the
trial and undertake a fresh preliminary
investigation in order to discover the
real culprits.
Reports from Kischineff say that the
investigation is a very thorough one,
the judges visiting the scenes of the
outrages in the company of counsel for
both sides. The other trials in connec-
ton with the massacre have been
postponed until January.

NEWS NOT CONFIRMED.
London Foreign Office Is Somewhat
Apprehensive.

London, Dec. 9.-The Toxic dispatch
announcing the arrival of a Russian
fleet off Chemulpo was communicated
to the foreign office here by the Asso-
ciated Press and was received with APP
prehenSion though it was not con-
firmed by any foreign Office dispatches
from the far east. 1t was said that if
the information from Toxic is correct,
would almost certainly nullify any ne
gotiations, however pacific now pro-
ceeding between Russia and Japan.
The Japanese legation had no con-
filmation of the Toxic report, and
Baron Hayshi, the Japanese minister,
said to the Associated Press that he
was inclined TO discredit the report.
