Mr.. J. T. Rushing brought 10 Cairo
yesterday from Wetaug two speci-
mems of Alexander county corn which
beats anything so far exhibited here.
From one part Of stalk of corn less
than six inches long are twenty-one
ears each OF which was covered with
what promised to be perfect little
grains of corn but which were broken
from the main stalk before maturity
The other specimen did not contain
such great number of ears. but the
silk which hung from il was about
two feet in length. Mr.. Rushing got
the specimens from Mr.. Gleason at
Wetaug and they were found in that
vicinity.

before noon Sunday and informed him
Of the dispatch received from the
head of the Russian foreign office
which was in effect the same as that
published in the Official Messenger at
st. petersburg.
Count Cassini said that his govern.
ment .deplored this untoward turn to
negotiations which his majesty, the
emperor, had sincerely hoped might
conclude with a peaceful settlement.
The ambassador called attention to the
fact that in her last note Russia a
made generous concessions to Japan
in Korea and had furnished the basis
for a continuance Of the negotiations
to the advantage OF Japan. 1t was
added that the Russian government
regarded the action Of Japan as pre-.
cipitate and remarkable. OF the final
result the ambassador could express
his opinion that the worst seemed
probable. 1t was stated that MI.
Kurino has received his passports and
would leave the Russian capitpal
Monday. Baron de Rosen may have
already left Toxic.
Later in the day cables from Am
| bassador Mccormick at st. Peters
burg and Minister Griscom at Toxic
were received by the state depart
ment confirming the news Of the
severance of diplomatic relations.
These cablegrams and the commune
cation OF. the Russian ambassador
were promptly transmitted to the
president.
On high authority the statement is
made that the Japanese government
has not yet received the Russian re
ply. Doubt is expressed here whether
it ever will be delivered. Mr.. Taxa
hira, the Japanese minister, stated
that he was not inclined to attach
great Importance to the charge sale
to have been made, that the japanese
government had been guilty of ba6
faith in ~instructing it's minister tt
withdraw from st. Petersburg before
Russia's reply to Japan's last note hat
been received.

QUICK ACTION PROBABLE.
Withdrawal Of Ministers to Be Follow
ed by War.

Toxic, Feb. 8.-The severance of
diplomatic relations between Russia
and Japan appears to be only a step
towards war, although when the min
listers of Russia and Japan withdraw
from their respective posts quick and
decisive action is expected. When
Minister Of Foreign Affairs Komura
on Saturday notified Baron de Rosen,
the Russian minister, Of Japan's de-
termination to sever diplomatic rela-
tions, he is reported to have declared
to him that Japan is tired OF Russia's
! delays, evasions and insincerity and
has decided to take Independent action
for the conservation of Japan's Orient
al interests.
Japan's repeated requests for an I'M
mediate answer were treated In a
most unsatisfactory manner. Japan
waited until convinced that it was use
less to wait longer and ended the dis
cussion. ~
The indications are that there will
be no formal declaration OF war.
Japan will publicly define it's position
and purpose and the foreign office has
prepared news statement which prob
ably will be issued today.
Japan will unquestionably seize
Korea at once anu dlIuOuSA ASuSS1o

and attaches of the Russian legation
and a number Of priests OF the Russian
church. !,
The Austro-Hungarian minister, H

NO RADICAL CHANGE.
But Senator tanna Appears to Be
Growing Weaker.


Washington, Feb. 8.-Senator Han
ma passed Sunday without any radical
change in his condition. His extreme
weakness was more marked than here
tofore and his temperature was a lit
tie higher. The attending physicians,
however. insist that there is nothing
significant III his condition and there
are ne developments on which to
change their expressed belief that the
outlook is hopeful for the senator's
recovery. There was a consultation
of DR.. Rixey and two out-of-tOwn ply
sicians during the day, but the only
important development that trans
pired as to the consultation was that
it had been decided to omit the even
ing call of the attending physicians
so as to give the patient more rest.
The consultation vas held about 4
o'clock in the afternoon and the fol
lowing bulletin was issued.
Senator Hanna is doing well. His
morning temperature was a little
higher. but the hearts action is good
and there are no complications"
The senator was very restless Sat
urday night and gained little sleep
This. together with the general course
of the fever, it is stated, accounts To-
his weaker condition and increased
nervousness. The physicians explain
that it is to be expected that the feve
will increase until the crisis is passed
but they do not name any definite dat
when that crucial point will b
reached.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 8.-Count
Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign minis
ter. has officially informed the Russian
representatives abroad that Japan has
decided to break off negotiations with
Russia and to withdraw the minister
and the whole Japanese legation stan
from st. Petersburg.
The Russian foreign minister there
upon ordered the Russian minister.
Baron de Rosen, and his staff to leave
Toxic.
The Official Messenger publishes
the following circular telegram dated
Feb. 6, which has been sent out by
the Russian foreign minister to the
representatives of the Russian gov
eminent abroad:
Acting under the instructions from
his government, the Japanese minis
ter at the imperial court has present,
ed a note which informs the imperial
government of the decision of Japan
to break off further negotiations and
recall her minister and the entire
staff at the Japanese legation.
"In consequence of this his i'm
perial majesty has been pleased te
order that the Russian minister a
Toxic with the whole staff of the i'm
perial mission shall leave the capita
of Japan without delay. Such an at
titude on the part of the Toxic gov
eminent, which has not even awaited
the arrival of the answer of the i'm
perial government, which was sent OF
during the past few days, throws tn
whole responsibility for the conse
quences which may arise from a rul
ture of diplomatic negotiations be
tween the two empires on Japan"

FOUR MEN KILLED.
Three Others Wounded in a Fight in
Tennessee.

Tennessee.
Knoxville, Tenn, Feb. 8.-A bloody
tragedy was enacted in the little min
ing town of Coal Creek, forty miles
west of Knoxville, as the result OF
which four lives were snuffed out and
three persons wounded, one perhaps
fatally. The clash was the culmlna-
ton Of the trouble between union n
nonunion labor.
Three Of the dead men were killed
by guards employed by the Coal
Creek company, while the fourth nc
tim, a deputy sheriff, was killed by q
Guard whom he had gone to arrest.
The dead are: Monroe Black, w. w.
TAYLOR, Jacob Sharp, section hand, and
Deputy Sheriff Robert s: Harmon.
It is thought the trouble started by
oilers of the depot crowding up n
yelling "scahs" at imported nonunion
men as they were being taken from
the train to agons by the coal
guards. two of the latter drawing
their pistols sna shooting into Inc
crowd. They then climbed into tneir
wagon and drove back to the mines.
