CINCINNATI TO PROTECT.
United States Cruiser to Remove Wo-
men and Children From
Chinampo.

Seoul, Friday, March 1.-THE U. S. 5
Cincinnati will leave Chemulpo tomorrow
for Chinampo to bring away the women
and children from the American Com
pany's mines at Unssn. The families OF
American missionaries, south of the Yalu,
are not considered to be in any danger,
but every precaution is being taken for
their safety. A messenger from the mines
to Unsan, who left Chinampo on Wednes
day last, says that everything is quiet in
that vicinity. Only few reconnoitering
parties of Cossacks are seen north OF that
point, and there are probably only few
hundred Russians in all south of the Yalu.
There is little prospect for any serious con-
flict in this quarter within the next six
weeks. Thus far there has been no
trouble at the mines and there is little
likelihood they will be interfered with,
both sides having been given every aseur-
ance in that respect The only possible
danger is from struggling parties Of pill
layers, but from these the miners are in a
position to protect themselves, having on
hand three Colt guns and an ample sup
ply of rifles.

LARGE CROWD TO SEE EXECUTED
Women Will View Execution from Win
dows of Court House at
Roanoke.

Roanoke, Va, March l4.-Sherif Tilett
was busy this morning issuing passes to
those who are to attend the hanging of
Henry Williams next Friday. There will
be a large crowd to see the brute pay the
penalty of his terrible crime, and not a
few ladies will see it. Woman-like, they
have found a way to witness the execu-
ton, and will be seen in the windows of
the courthouse.
Sheriff TilIett will leave for Lynchburg
some time Thursday and return with the
negro on Friday morning. The negro will
be placed in a cell and the minister who
will attend him on the scaffold will have q
few words with him. The negro will be
given a good breakfast and prepared for
the execution. Sheriff Tillett will read the
death warrant in the cell, and the march
to the sca6fold will be made. On the scaf-
fold the negro will be offered an oppor-
tunity to speak If he SO desires, there will
be prayer, the rope and black cap adjusted
and Sheriff TiIlett will spring the trap.
1t is understood that Williams mother
has written that she does not want the
body and it will be sent to some medical
college.
The rope has been purchased. 1t is a
Manila rope, {, and 80 feet long. Mr..
Clark, machInist, will tie the knot.

Desperate Criminal in Jail Here.
JAS. A. HENRITZE,
Acting Secretary.

Something over week ago man was
arrested at Pocahontas for disturbing the
peace. After he was taken to the calaboose
be was recognized as j. B. V. Shrader,
known as Vince Shrader, and who has
quite a criminal record. About four years
ago he broke open the store Of j. B. Hon
aker at Rocky Gap, Va, and stole goods
therefrom. The postofice at that place
was in Honaker's store and Shrader also
robbed the postofice. He fled to West
Virginia and was arrested in Mercer
county, where he was tried upon charge
of selling stolen goods and sentenced to
confinement for one year in the jail at
Princeton.
1t was the purpose of the Federal au-
thorties to arrest Shrader, as soon as he
was turned out of Jail, for robbing the
postoffice at Rocky Gap. He found it out
in some way and made his escape from
the iail at Princeton the night before the
day on which his term was to expire.
He had not been heard of until his arrest
at Pocahontas. A warrant was sworn out
and be has been brought here for a hear
ing before u. s. Commissioner I. A. Gil
lespie. AS soon as witnesses can be gotten
here that hearing will be held.

Ten Japs, who were wounded, and the

The survivors give unstinted praise to the
Russians heroism.
So close did the opposing vessels fight,
that japanese sailors boarded the Russian
destroyer Steregushtchi, which later sunk.
One sailor encountered the Commander Of
the Russian vessel, who was just leaving
bis cabin. The two sprang at each other,
and an exciting fight followed. Finally
the Jap got his arm free and felled the
Commander with bis cutlass. The Russian
was stunned for moment, and when he
attempted to rise and continue the fight
the Jap kicked him overheard and he was
drowned.
The Japanese say there were 20 sailors
lying dead on the two Russian destroyers,
which stood the brunt of the fight.

DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT
This Alone, 1t Is Said, Can Solve the
Condition

London, March 12.-The continued ex-
stence of the present government after
the past eventful week in parliament
creates surprise even amongst lts most
faithful supporters. Premier Balfour kept
the cabinet ia power by a majority OF
forty six gained at the expense Of what Is
universally admitted to be personal de-
feat for the premier.
For the first time since the fiscal qnes-
ton became live Issue in British politics,
Joseph Chamberlain's followers showed
their strength and intentions. No less
than 10 members of the house of COM
mons put themselves on record this week
as willing to turn out Mr.. Balfour rather
than sacrifice their adherence to Mr..
Chamberlain out and out protectionist
principles. As result, Mr.. Balfour has
foregone bis personal policy of retaliation
and retains office effectively by the sup
port of those members of parliament who
openly uphold preferential and protective
duties.
On all sides it is admitted that dssolu-
ton of parliament alone can solve the ex-
isting complex and muddled condition Of
the parties in the house of commons.

Manchuria in Confusion.

Peking, March 13.-Private Chinese re-
ports that are being received here state
that the whole of Mauchuria is in a state
of utter confusion, owing to the Russians
having seized all food supplies and other
commissariat necessities. The natives are
streaming south toward the ports and are
suffering great hardsbips.
The late Military Governor of Kirin las
committed suicide, owing to his inability
to relieve the peoples distress or stop the
Russian depredatlons.
The reports that have been circulated
regarding a Russian force occupying Kali
gan are absolutely untrue; moreover, the
Russian garrison at Urga has been re-
duced to thirty men.

AGED MINISTER SLAIN IN PERSIA.
Or. Belamin Labaree, Presbyterian Mis-
sIonary, Reported Murdered
at Khol.

New York, March 12.-Though cable
inquiries were made today, the Presby'
terian Board of Foreign Missions has re-
ceived no word from Persia regarding DR..
Benjamin Labaree, the missionary, who
has been reported murdered in Khoi,
Persia. Doubt is felt as to whether the
missionary reported slain was Rev. Benja-
min Labaree, D. D., the father, or Rev.
Benjamin W. Labaree, the son. The AS
sociated Press dispatch stated that it is
DR.. Labaree who has been killed, but the
advanced years Of the elder Labaree have
made it impracticable for him to be out
much among the villages, whereas the son
is frequently engaged in such work and
the last letter received from him, dated
February LIST, stated that he was about to
leave for visit among the villages to the
south of Urumia.

that railroad does an interstate business,
is in itself interstate commerce, declared
the Justice, in reply to that objection
which contended that Congress can not
forbid an individual from disposing of his
stock in corporations or from investing his
money as he may see it,
"If the contentious of the Northern Sc.
curities were sound, why could not all the
railroads in the United States enter into a
combination and by the device of hol-
ing corporation control rates all over the
United States against the will of Congress?
Congress may protect the freedom of inter
state rates by lawful means.
"No State corporation can stand In the
way of the enforcement of popular will
lawfully expressed.
"The power OF Congress over interstate
commerce extends to all the instrumental
tiles of such commerce, aud may remove
everything that tends to interfere with
it,"

On Monday night at 7:I5 o'clock Capt.
r. A. Miller died at the home of bis SON.
in.law, Judge J. H. Stuart. He had been

the cause of his death was general giving

ADMIRAL MAKAROFF TO FIGHT HARD
Determined TO Weaken Enemy at Any
Cost.

Yin Kow, March 15.-Local Russian au'

ifestly much annoyed at the solicitous in
uuiries of the comman Jers of foreign gun
boats regarding the projected blockading
of the Lao river before the arrival of the
japanese, which latter event is regarded
as foregone conclusion. Although the
blocking of the Lao and also the defense
of the settlement and native town are re-
garded as unattainable, it is certain that a
disposition of guns has been made and a
defense plan bas already been arranged.

IMPROVEMENT
FOR TAZEWELL
An Electric Car Line is Contemplated
From Here 10 North TaZ0WNll.
SEVERAL PROPERTIES TO COMBINE
A New Company to be Known as Tazewell
Light and Power Company Will
Be Chartered.

One of the most valuable and useful en-
terprises that has ever been projected at
Tazewell, so far as the business interests OF
the place are concerned, is now being or
ganized. 1t is to be chartered as The
T.Eewell Light and Power Company, with
q capital stock OF $40, 600.
The new company will embrace and ab-
sorb all the existing properties, rights and
franchises of the Tazewell Street Railway,
the Tazewell Electric plant and the Gray
beal Mill property, the latter valuable
water power situated SIX miles west Of the
town.
1t is intended 60 convert the present
line of the street railway into an electric
line, perhaps extend it, and equip the
same with up.to.date track, cars etc. The
power for operating the Car line and also
for furnishing lights to the town and
North Tazewell will be supplied from the
Graybeal Mill water power. The steam
power house of the Tazewell Electric Co.
will be moved to North Tazewell and will
be used as a supplemental and emergency
power when needed.
From careful estimate of the capacl y
of the Graybeal water power, which Is one
of the best on Ciinch River, it Is believed
that it will furnish more than enough force
to do the work contemplated, certainly at
all times except when severe drouths make
the supply of water inadequate. Tx
perience has demonstrated that electric
plants run by water power are invariably
paying investments, while those opeia rated
by steam alone sometimes fail to pay.
Tazewell is pronounced already one Of
the most progressive and substantial
towns in the South, and if this improve
ment is perfected it will place the town far
ahead of any of It's size in the country.
There is and will then be no other town
of eleven hundred inhabitants with an ex'
elusive electric railway. Not only will 1t
be splendid advertisement for the place,
but it will be of incalculabe advantage to
the general business interests. Real es-
tate values will be considerably enhanced,
the volume of banking and mercantile
business greatly enlarged, and the popula'
ton of the town largely increased. The
shrewd property owners and business
men of Tazewell will quickly observe these
facts, and we may safely predict that the
proposed enterprise will be speedily accom-
plished. Considerably more than half the
stock has already been subscribed, and We
expect to announce in the next issue o
the Republican that it has all been taken
