 The fight is shrouded in mystery The three men, perfectly conscious that they are about to die, refuse to talk of the affair. and no one will admit having seen. the light. The men were all perfectly sober when they went out into open to fight to the death. The men appear t0 be trying to shield each other and will not duplicate any outsiders.
 Kennedy, unable ot walk, cTawied four miles to Tunnelton to inform the autbori- ties of the fight and get medical aid. He told of the two other men who were wounded and probably dying at Austin.
 At the hospital he said he could not make any statement without duplicating others. and this he refused to do. The other. men were brought here and all three are anxious about each other. and ask to be placed in the same ward. ls is not known for certain if any other meB participated in the fight.

of some ships cargoes for the East have been cancelled because the water route was considered too slow.
 The authorities now feel that the si.u- ation is secure should Japan reject Rus sia's proposition.
 The draft of Russla's reply will be sub mitted to the Cxar tomorrow. The Az sociated Press is assured that 1t will be pacific and should lead to a settlement. The ssociated Presss informant reiterated what he said q few days ago:
 We have conceded much already and we are ready to concede more. but some things we cannot grant From our stand point the Manchurian question was set tied by Russia's circular pote to the Pow CTS recognizing all the Chinese treaties. Why should Japan demand more than the other powcrs?,
 The Russian papers to-day agree that treaty guarantees covering Manchurfa and permission for Japan to fortify Southern Corea making . closed sea of the sea of Japan, are impossible.

Editor and Publisher of the Memphis
 Scimitar.


 Memphis, Tenn. Feb. LA. B. Pickett, editor and publisher of The Evening Scfmitar, died this morning at Cincinnati and his remains will be brought to tnis city for interment.
 Mir. Pickett was the proprietor of The Scimitar and was one of the most widely known and influential newspaper mon of the South. He was 46 years of age. hav- ing been born in Memphis. He had been in bad health for several years, and for the past few days had been able to give little personal attention to his business. Two weeks ago he was taken to Cincfn- nati, where it was hoped that the treat ment of eminent specialists would prove beneficial. His malady was rheumatic complicated with an affection or the heart He leaves a large family and a comfortable estate in satisfactory con- dition.
 Mir. Pickett began his newspaper ca- reer as a reporter on The Memphis Even. ing Herald at the age of 20 years. When it suspended publication he took sim lar place on The Public Ledger. In 1883 he was made city editor of The Appeal, and three years later became editor-in-chef of The Memphis Avalanche.

HOPE FOR PEACE FELT
Manchuria Rock on Which
 Split May Come.
St. Petersburg Government Does Not Want to Discuss That Province While Japan Insists on
 Chinese Sovereignty.

St. Petersburg. Feb. 1.--Ih spite of tho expressed hope of the Russian authori- ties that the present crisis will be passed and that a pacific solution of the Russo Japanese negotiations will be reached, 1t is no longer concealed that Russia is practically prepared for eventualities. To- day the mobilization of the Manchurian reserves was announced.
 It has been well known for some months that Russia has been steadily strengthen Ing her army and navy in the Far EaS;, to meet the preparations which Japan was openly making. The available war ships were dispatched to the Far East and the last division which left the Meo- iterranean a month ago is now nearing It's destination quietly but surely.
 It was necessary that Russia's prepGr- ations should keep pace with those of her diplomatic adversary. The feverish activity of Japan during the last few weeks naturally increased the distrust of her ultimate intentions and the Rus sian authorities have been pushing their precautionary measure with more vigor.
 Troops Rushed Eastward.
 It is understood that six or seven mil- itary trains daily have been going east over the Siberian Road, and the charters

MANcHURIA THE cRux.
Japan Will Insist Upon China Re- taining Sovereignty.

INlu4uk SUVSfSfSupys
 London, Feb. 1.--one of the highest Jap anesse officials in London who has been intimately acquainted with every possi- ble detail of the Russo-Japanese negotia- tions up to the present, made tho follow ing statement to the Associated Press this evening:
 'T am convinced that the delay in sending lsussias reply Is not for the pur- pose of enabling the Russian government to make further preparations for war. but that Count Lamsdorff is honestly trying to bring the matter in dispute to an. amicable settlement. The delay clear ly means that final struggle is going on between the peace and war parties in Russia. I hope and think, I may add. that believe the peace party will triumph.
 The crux of the whole matter is Rus sia's assurances regarding Chinese SOW ereignty over Manchuria. On other points Japan may agree to certain notifications but unless Russia gives an assurance binding and in writing. regarding Man. churia, Japan will break off the nego- tiations and adopt measures to safeguard her interests. Japan is sincerely anxious for peace, notwithstanding reports to the contrary and if Russia gives the very reasonable assurance asked for. there will be no war. Otherwise peace cannot be maintained"
