Knoxville, Tenn. Sept. 26.-No ad-
ditional deaths OF injured have oc-
Cured to-day and the death list of the
Southern wreck near New Market, on
Saturday last. still stands at siXty-tWo.
All OF the injured az the Knoxville
general hospital are reported doing
well and only four or five are so des-
perately wounded that death may re-
suit from their injuries.
A body which was identified early
Sunday morning as that of d. S. Fox,
of Birmingham Ala, and sent to that
city was returned here to-day, ac-
companied by two brothers of Mr..
Fox. The body supposed to have
been that of d. S. Fox turned out to
Mich. who travelled in Tennessee and
Kentucky for ID. NJ. Ferry & Com
pany. The brothers of Mr.. Fox went
to the morgue and identified a body
there as that of their brother. The
mistake must have been made by
searchers at the wreck who put Mr..
FoX's papers in the pocket of the
Daily body. Mr. Fox S remains were
shipped to Birmingham tonight.
Twelve Funerals Held.
No less than twelve funerals of the
victims of the wreck We're held in this

GREAT DIFFICULTY
IN TRANSPORTATION
OF RUSSIAN TROOPS

BERLIN, Feb. 22.-The Militar Woch-
enblatt. the organ of the German gen
eral staff, has published an article dis
cUssing Russia's prospects of reinforc-
ing her army in East Asia. The paper
takes a pessimistic view Of the capacity
Of the Trans Siberian Railroad. and
especially Of the section crossing Lake
Baikal, where, IT says, the difficulties
to be overcome are enormous. The linn
tied capacity of the line is said to be
a much more serious matter than the
threatened damage to it by natives
The paper estimates the present troop
moving capacity of the railroad from
Russia's experience Of last summer in
moving two brigades to Tschita, east
Of Lake Baikal, which was accom-
plished at the rate of only eight and a
hslf miles an hour. At this rate It
would take thirty-six days to convey
$4,000 men from the Ural Mountains to
Mukden or Vladivostok
The paper assumes the present
strength Of the Russian army in East
ern Asia to be 15S, 761 men, and upon
the foregoing estimate of time required
TO move troops it declares it will take
until April 20 for Russia to raise the
strength Of her East Asiatic army to
233, 900 men.
The paper is Of the opinion that the
easiest thing for Japan to do to COM
pei Russia to abandon Manchuria is
70 strike at the center of the country;
in other words. to concentrate her
forces against Harbin.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 22.-Prince
Khilkoff, Minister of Railroad Com
munication, has proceeded for Man
churia from Irkutsk, after having seen
that the railroad on the ice across Lake
Baikal was laid. He was personally en-
trusted with $3.50, 900 to effect the expe-
ditious termination Of this work. Prince
Khilkoff reports that the Siberian
railroad is able to move 10000 men a
day to their destination, but that the
transit from western points to the Far
East will require six weeks.
Hearty manifestations Of patriotism
are reported from Helsingfors, Finland.
1t is said that several hundred persons
carrying Russian flags paraded there
on Sunday night and sang Russian ma
tional hymns before the residences ot

been notified that she has been cap
tured by the Russians at Vladivostok.
The latest advices of Baron Hayashi,
the Japanese Minister to Great Britain,
lead him to believe that the japanese
troops may now wait possibly two Or
three months before undertaking ag-
gressive operations in Manchuria. He
said:
ave have found that Russia is so
Unexpectedly unprepared that l should
not be surprised if the Japanese land
forces contented themselves with es-
tablishing a thorough organization and
advancing as the construction of the
railroad toward the Yafu River pro-
crosses. Russia appears to be less
prepared than was China in 1885, l
believe that only three trains a day can
be run through Manchuria. Supposing
these are equally divided between
troops and supplies, as would be neces-
sary, Russia could not perceptibly
strengthen her land forces before April.
Japans naval coup has been so unex-
pectedly successful that 1 rather think
our. troops will take their time. The
shallow inlets are now frozen over, re-
tarding the Decentralization of our
forces. This is especially true at Port
Arthur, where another landing of
troops is impossible, owing to the ice"
Baron Hayashi does not credit the
report that $500 Russian soldiers have
been killed in an outpost engagement
at the Yalu River. He says there is
no Japanese force in that vicinity large
enough to inflict such a loss.
The only naval development Baron
Hayashi expects in the near future is
an attack on the Japanese fleet by the
powerful Russian torpedo hotilla at
Port Arthur. hitherto unused. On the
Japanese side, except possible actions
against the Russian Vladivostok
squadron. the Japanese Minister does
not look for developments at present,
believing Admiral Togo VIII be satisfied
to keep the disabled Russian squadron
prisoners at Port Arthur.
The Minister credits the Russians
with having barely 100000 troops in
Manchuria.

RUSSIA DENOUNCES
CONDUCT OF JAPAN
IN NOTE TO POWERS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Russia is
addressing to the powers, either
through their representatives in st.
Petersburg, the Emperor's ENJOYS, or
probably through both, vigorous com
munication charging Japan with re-
peated violation of the laws of nations,
first, as the note alleges, in threatening
to attack a neutral port, Chemulpo, un-
less the Russian ships within come out
to face an overwhelming force. and
second, it states, in attacking Port Ar
thur before war had been declared and
while the japanese Minister at st.
Petersburg was still enjoying the pro-
lection and the courtesies of the Rus
sian Government, to which, it is
claimed, he had just previously ad-
dressed a communication expressing
his belief that the interruption of dip
lomatic relations between the two coun-
tries would be brief.
In the diplomatic corps the news Of
Russia's intended address to the powers
has caused great interest. A diplomat
whose Government is inclined to sym
pathize with Russia said that the Rus
SIAN GONeIuuleIll OlQ HOl expect OIler
nations to pass upon the attack at Port
Arthur, but as to the threatened attack
on Chemulpo this diplomat said the
Russian Government expected that the
powers, in the interest of international
law, would give this subject their
earnest consideration. Several foreign
naval commanders at Chemulpo, he
said, were reported to have protested
against the action of the japanese
commander at the time, and il it were
true that the American commander re-
fused to join with the other foreign
commanders in protesting to the Japa-
nese commander against his action in
threatening the town, he thought it
likely the action Of the commander of
the Vicksburg would be the subject of
an exchange of views between the st.
Petersburg and Washington govern
ments.

Witnesses Could Not Do It, and Court
 Travelled to Scene.

From the Philadelphia Press.
 Can noise be described?
 It can't, either by word of mouth, by rumblings or hissing of the voice. or by any other method of the human lips and diaphragm, according to a sort of inror- nal decision rendered in Common Pleas court yesterday by Judges Audenried and Carr. It has to be heard And so in order to make decision upon a particu- iarly baffling noise, the judge adjourned court and went to hear 1t.
 The case concerned a certain pneumatic stone-dressing tool which Michael Herbst installed in his stone yard at Second street and Wyoming avenue recently, and which has been driving the neigh bors almost crazy. they say.
 Well. what did it sound likeY' the judge inquired of one witness.
 Br-rzzz-z-zm pzzumpi' came from the contorted lips of the man on the stand. That's the best can do.s
 That's not bad. but you're excused from any more of it. The next witness, please. How did the noise sound to you?''
 "Ooo6o-oo-wow-ii-br-r said this one.
 When the criers got through rapping Tor order after an outburst of merriment, Judge Audenreid said: .The court is ad- Journed. The court intends to visit this wonderful noise and hear for itself"
 The judge took one trolley car, the wit nesses and spectators another and they all Journeyed up to Herbsts place. where. to the great joy of the crowd the machine was started going over slab of stone. It sounded to unjudicial ears like the mix ture or Tall Of a catarac, the roll of trap drum and the banging of a fin nan with tack hammer.
 The judges preserved their Judicial se crecy, but may render a decision today.
