London, March 8. - Answering a
question in the commons Premier Bal
four said the government considered
that Russia's declaration that she pro-
posed to treat coal as contraband of
war was of the greatest Importance.
The premier added that he was
aware that the Russian plenipotentiary
at West African conference, held at
Berlin in December 1884, in relation
to the naturalization of the Congo, de-
clared Russia never would accept an
Interpretation that coal should be con-
sidered by international law as contra
band of war and that his government
would categorically refuse to cconsent
to recognize coal as contraband of war,
either in relation to the Congo or any
other district whatever. In view of
this, Mr.. Balfour concluded, the Brit.
ish government was taking steps to OBJ
tain more precise information i'll regard
to the Interpretation of the Russian de-
claration respecting contraband Of war.

HANLEY WON.

Kennedy J. Hanley won his Skookum
case in the supreme court Of the United
States when Chief Justice Fuller an
nuonced that the court had refused to
grant the writ of centiorari asked for
by the Empire State-Idaho Mining g.
Developing company.
The decision upbolds the judgement
which MIR. Hanley had secured in the
appellate court at San Francisco on ac-
count of wrongfully taken from his
eighth interest in the Skokum mine at
Wardner by the Empire State-1daho
company, which, with Charles Sweeny
and f. Lewis Clark of Spokane. has
been defending the suit. The court
has given MIR. Rahley S259,62 as his
share of the ore, but there are other
factors. including interest, whic make
the award about 100000. In addi-
ton the court maintains his title to an
eighth interest in the SkooKkum, which
has proven one of the richest mines in
the Occur 'Alene district.
1t has yielded about 100000 in
silver and lead.
Mr.. Hanley has been represented in
the case by Judge John K. Mcbride
and Myron A. Folsom of Spokane. Mr..
Folsom appeared alone on his behalf
before the supreme court on February

CALEB POWERS
To Have Gov. Blacks Aid in
New Trial.

Information was received here
last Friday that former Governor
Frank S. Black, Of New York,
will assist In the defense of Hon.
Caleb Powers, now under SEN
tence of death for alleged com
plicity in a conspiracy to kill
William Goebel. Gov. Black
volunteered his services in the
case, believing Powers Innocent,
but exactly what part he will
take in the case is not known.
The cause is now pending be-
fore the Court of Appeals of this
State, having been submitted
on briefs last May. If the Court
of Appeals reverses the decision
of the lower court the case will
go back for a new trial. If the
death sentence is affirmed, effort
will be made to appeal the case
to the Supreme Court Of the
United States on the Federal
question involved.
Gov. Black has expressed him
self to his friends in New York,
it is said, as being convinced
from the evidence he has read in
the case that Caleb Powers is
not guilty of the charge against
him. His offer of services to the
leaders of the counsel for the de-
defense followed.

MORE EVIDENCE
Showing the Need of Wafer
Works in Our Town.

Last Monday the little town of
Corinth, in the northern part of
this State, was almost entirely
blotted oil the map by a great
conllagration, twenty-one houses
being burned before the fire
was burned out. The cause was
that the town had no fire pro-
lection, and when the blaze
started there was no water to
fight the fire.
The same thing will occur here
some day. and the' city of Bar
bourville will be entirely blotted
off the map if some protection is
not given to the property. Just
now when all the wells and els
terms of the town are dry andno
water is at hand, what would we
do? What could we do but stand
by and see property melt away
before the fiery flames should
such a calamity befall us?
Awake, citizens, let's be up
and doing. A few dollars spent
now in the erection of a water
works may save thousands of dol
lars in property, and at the same
time save us a great amount in
the way of fire insurance.
Let's not allow the season to
go by and not see a water-works
plant installed in our town.
The many natural advantages
we have enumerated over and
over until they have become
by-words upon the streets, and
yet the citizens will sit idly by
and make no effort to get the
plant established.

bridge, but we have nsver forgotten

Mr.. Wyatt in a previous bridge in
which he made claim for $500 Just
to satisfy his own selfish wants.
The voters of Knox county are going
to stand by our hero of economy, +.

and the bishop pronounced the
benediction, and we babe each
other farewell.
But the writer, with four of
the Louisville preachers, being
still hungry for more of the
mountain scenery, boarded the
4 90 p. m. train for the city of
Middlesboro, near Cumberland
Gap, reaching the city and go
ing to the Epworth hospital Of
the Menthodist church, which is
one Of beauty and modern i'm
provements. We were cordially
received and highly entertained
by Mr.. Harvey Wintuska and
wife, formerly of Bowling Green,
KY, who are now in charge Of
the hospital.
After a good nights rest, we
were furnished next morning)
with mountain horses, and with
Bro. Wintuska as our guide, we
galloped away on horse eback to
Cumberland Gap to view, with
pleasure, the place where Daniel
Boone (the first white settler in
Kentucky )crossed the great chain
of the Cumberland mountains;
and also where Bishop Ashbury
made his first adventure into the
beautiful State of Kentucky.
Turning from this we ascended
mountains until we came to the
top of the pinnacle, towering
above Powell Valley, and looking
into the face of several States, we
could see the smoky mountains,
the Blue Ridge, and also Look
out Mountain, towering above
the beautiful city Of Chattanoo-
ga, Tenn.
The great steam cars in the
valley were seemingly no larger
than a toy train. And feeling so
grateful to our Heavenly Father
for his great blessings to us, we
joined in singing the grand old
national hymn, "America.' At
the close Rev. j. NJ. Ackman
read short scripture lesson,
after which DR.. Ogden led in a
very beautiful prayer. Again
singing that beautiful hymn,
"Rock of Ages" closing with
the doxology and benedicticn.
1t seemed that we were almost
in the presence of Jehovah.
After securing a few relics,
we started down the mountain
slope, stopping at the beautiful
bubbling spring to get drink,
which proceeded from the side
of that great Aountain, we were
made TO eXclaim, Praise God
from whom all blessings flow"
On our return to the city we were
permitted to view the beautiful
lake, lying between the great
mountains, which is about three
miles long; this lake furnishes
the city water.
The Middlesboro Hotel is a
very beautiful structure, built
at a cost of $2,000,000. In the
evening, after bidding farewell
to friends, we boarded the 4:45
p. IN. train and started on our
journey for home, sweet home;
and we can truly say, in the lam
guage of the poet, BE it ever
so humble, there's no place like
