London, Feb. 22.-Baron Hayashi, the
Japanese minister to Great Britain, de-
cares that Russia is as unprepared for war
as China was. The miksdo's troops will
content themselves for the present with
establishing thorough organization and
advancing slowly towards the Yalu river,
as the construction of the railroad pro-
crosses.
This utterance of tue baron Is not taken
seriously by the Russian sympathizers, as
it is not like Japan to wait until Russia is
prepared before striking blow.
Kebachiro Okahura, millionaire of To.
kio, has offered bis famous museum for
sale for 81 100000, the proceeds to be
given the japanese war fund.

Of life attached to the casualty. The Rus

ouiry into his mental condition. RelRar
evidently is of unbalanced mind. He has
written many letters to the president sug'
gestipg that people be named in accord
ance with their occupations. Thus be
maintains that a dealer in wood should be
named Wood, q carpenter should be nam
ed Carpenter, aud so on throughout the
list of names.
He says that the present scheme OF
naming people has caused war among
the flies, which may be ended only by the
adoption of his suggestion. For many
weeks the secret service officers have been
on the outlook for him, and when he ap'
peared today he was promptly placed in
custody. Relgar desired to see the presl'
dent to ascertain why his letters had not
been answered. When he was searched a
loaded revolver and box of cartridges
were found in his pockets.
The officers bad no difficulty In getting
him away from the white house. He was
taken to police headquarters where be was
turned over to the authorities. Relgaf

London, Feb. 23.-There is little doubt
in the minds of those in close touch with
the position of the troops of the opposing
Powers in the far East that a clash be-
tween the land troops of Russia and japan

Reliable dispatches at hand today,
however, show that Russians have forces
of scouts at An.Ju, about 75 miles south OF
VIII, IN Korea, and that forces Of Jap
ese scouts have been arriving at Ping
Yang. An.Ju and Ping Yang are close to-
gether, and skirmishes between these out
posts may have already occurred. Behind
the outposts the Russians and Japs are
marching for position.

Poultry Raising.

All persons who gave any attention to
poultry raising in Tazewell county last
year found the business very profitable.
Fowls and eggs we're in great demand
throughout the entire year, and prices
ruled higher than they had ever been
known before. This should encourage
those who experimental last year to give
more attention to the BUSINESS and to
others to enter it. Before great many
years the money value of the eggs and
fowls that will be sent from the county
will be greater than the value OF the cattle
that Will be shipped from Tazewell.

TO UNITE JAMES
And THE OHIO
4 Great Canal is Proposed Therefor
4 Hundred HilliOn Dollar
Company.
TO RUN STEAMERS ON SUCH A
WATERWAY.
Northern Man Named Taylor Protector Of
This Great COrpOratiOn-Member Of
Legislature Says He Has Been
Shown Plans Of Such an Un-
dertaking, and Was Told
That Charter Would
Be Asked.
Be Asked.

An effort is being made to form cor
poration capitalized at one hundred mil
lion dollars, for the purpose of carrying
into effect g gigantic project, which has
been suggested frequently during the pact
century. 1t is nothing more nor less than
a scheme to build great canal to connect
the navigable waters Of the Ohio and
James Rivers.
1t is said that George Washington in his
day dreamed Of the consumatlon OF such a
project as connecting the Ohio and
james Rivers by means Of a great canal,
alfording direct and uninterrupted trans
portation from the Gulf and the Missis'
sippi River to Hampton Roads, the Ches-
apeake Bay and the Atlantic seaboard
The idea iu these practical days Of swift
steam rail communication seems like the
idle fancy of dreamer. Yet when the
James River and Kanawha canal was
projected and built, it is said that this
was step in the direction Of the consum-
nation of just this dream. 1t would be a
project presenting stupendous nstur'l
difficulties and as to the success of which
there is reason for the gravest doubt. The
Blue Ridge and Aleghang mountains
would have to be tunnelled or crossed,
and the sinuous rivers shallow bed would
have to be followed, making the distance
and the cost very great.
PROTECTOR HAS BEEN HERE.
A well known member of the General
Assembly from Tidewater Virginia yester'
day stated to reporter for The Times
Dispatch that promoter named Taylor,
from one of the Northern States, has
spo en- to him on the subject, and had
showed him statements and maps and
plans prepared by engineers, who con-
tended that the scheme is entirely feasi-
bic. The gentleman stated that it was his
purpose soon to apply to the Corporation
Commission for a charter for the COM
pany, proposing to build this inland wa
terway, and that he proposed to capital
ize the company at one hundred millions.
The legislator stated that he was told by
the promoter that considerable work had
already been done on the Ohio River end
of the scheme. The plans called for a
canal connecting the two rivers Of uni
form depth of ten feet and cf such width
as to accommodate small steamboats,

London, Feb. pa direct threat Of
war is said to have been conveyed to Chi
ma by Russia, if China insists that the
Russian gunboat Mandjur leave Shanghai
as demanded by Japan.
The Tokyo correspondent Of Reuters
agency learns from reliable source, he
cables, that Japan, in turn, is taking steps
on the ground that China has committed
a breach of neutrality in allowing the
Mandjur to remain as long as it has. The
Japanese claim is that Paul Lessar, Rus
sian Minister to China, bribed the Of
icials.
Thus China is in a dilemma, with pain
full consequences threatening either step.
1t is said, however, that China will send
cruisers, if necessary, to enforce the neu-
trAlity laws and expel the Mandjur.
