WASHINGTON ALARMED.
Chefoo Incident May Cause Compli-
cations.

Washington. The report of the
destroyers of the Russian destroyer
Ryshitleni, in TIE harbor Of Chefoo as
conveyed at Washington by the con-
sui generals S cablegram was received
with the deepest interest and also con-
cern for it was realized that there
We're in this incident the germs of Sc
rious international trouble.
Mr. Fowler spoke of the affair as a
cutting out" expedition, thereby
differing in an important point from
the press dispatch which at first read
! ing appeared to indicate that the seiz-
ure of the Russian boat was in at
least some degree caused by the action
of the captain of the craft in attack
ing the japanese boarding lieutenant.
It may be that upon this point will
turn the decision as to whether or not
there has been a violation of Chinese
neutrality by the Japanese.
If the expedition was a genuine cut
ting out one, then there is no question
in the minds Of the officials here that
the Japanese have committed an Of
fense against international law by
violating Chinese neutrality and in
addition have broken the agreement
they entered into at the beginning of
the war, at the instance of the United
States government to limit the field Of
warlike operations to Manchuria and
Corea and their waters. Should this
prove to be the case, the results prob
ably will be grave and vexations. I'm
der the tenets Of international law
the captured vessel must be returned
for the offense against Chinese neu-
trality But if Russian lives have
been lost, as reported in the press dis
patches, a greater complication will
follow for Russia may in turn hold
China responsible for the punishment
of the japanese who caused the death
of her sailors, when under the shelter
of the Chinese port authorities. Alto
gether the situation is full of dan
ger anG the main apprehension of the
officials here is that it may be the in
cident that will break down the agree
ment of the powers and plunge China
into the war as full fledged belliger-
ent and ally of Japan.

Snakes in Cabbage.

Nashville. Several cases of poi
soning over the state due to eating
cabbage in which snakes have been
boiled have attracted wide attention
and the latest case is in the Morilton
family at Tullahoma, where several
people are quite i'll. The trouble has
led to everybody looking for snakes
and from a dozen counties in Middle
Tennessee reports come of the discov-
cry of reptiles. Many people have cut
out cabbage and the result is that with
the biggest crop ever produced in the
state, they are selling at 20 cents a
barrel in Nashville, while in the small
towns one cannot give them away and
they are being fed to live stock,

that their fleet escaped and has passed
that place which is $50 miles south
east of Port Arthur.
Russia has no idea of making any
alterations in her list of contraband,
Notwithstanding the attitude of Eng
LAND
Russian opinion is divided, but gen.
orally inclines to the idea that General
Kuropatkin will not risk battle at
Liao-Yapg.
Admiral Without is reported killed.
The cruiser Novik escaped from
Tsung-C Chau harbor without any ap-
parent fight at sea.
The act of the japanese in attack
ing and carrying off the Russian tor
pedo boat destroyer in Chee-Foo har-
Dor is considered a violation of neu-
trality, and may cause international
complications.
1t is reported that the Kasaga was
sunk by the Russians in the sea fight,
but Admiral Togo does not say so
in his report
The captain of the Ryeshitelni tells
of thrilling story of thhe fight of un-
armed Russians with the japanese
boarding party.
Four of the Russian cruisers are
near Shanghai, and are expected to
arrive there.
Reports Of refugees show that Port
Arthur is nearly smashed up by Jap
anese shells.
The japanese carried off four Rus
slams on the the torpedo boat Ryesh-
itelni.
France and Germany are backing
Russia in her protest at Pekin against
the Chee-Foo affair."
The torpedo boat Rossovoy is at

One japanese shell struck the cor
ner of a building in Port Arthur and
killed or wounded 200 people. Fifteen
six-inch shells fell at one spot on the
water front in one day, but no one
was hurt. 1t is roughly estimated
that the japanese are from five to
eight miles from Port Arthur.

Commenting upon the independence
of the people of Mississippi of the
great trusts and combines, a former
citizen has this to say: In the good
old county of Tippah in northeast
Mississippi, where the hills are red
and the gullies are many, and where
the people are said to be poor in the
worlds goods, there is more inde-
pendence than in almost any section
of the country. The meat trust and
the packers strike worry them not,
they raise and butcher their own cat
tie and hogs, raise at home their own
chickens and eggs, have their own
corn ground into meal at the little wa
.er and steam mills, and live, and live
well, it matters not what the condi-
ton of the balance of the country
may be. There is more real indepen-
denee and good living on a. well man
aged eighty acre farm in Tippah and
similarly situated counties in Missis-
sippi, than in any other section of
the universe.

Jones claims to be the pioneer coun.
ty in the piney woods to make con-
serted move for better roads and that
the experiment has proven a complete
success. There was lot of kicking
over the expense attached to building
them, but now the sentiment through.
out the county is universal that good
roads are the thing. Steel bridges
have been built across the more i'm
portant streams and they are proving
economical in the end. With counties
as well as individuals, it will always
pay to get the best. While expen,
sive to begin with, it is economical in
the end.

New Albany has organized stock
company for the purpose of manufac-
ing brick and tile and work of con-
;truction will soon begin. An election
on the issuance of bonds for water
works and electric lights was carried
by a vote of 65 to /. From this it
would seem that the people up there
were awake to the benfits to accrue
from the possession of these neces-
sites. That little city has undergone
a great change during the past two
years. When this writer left there
three years since an election on this
;ubject would have about carried in
the same proportion, but with the
figures reversed. The good citizens
are pushing now and success will
crown their efforts.

The department of agriculture at
Washington in making a report on the
manufacture of cotton, gives figures
that should be great source of graf
ification to the south. These figures
prove that we are beginning to manu-
facture the cotton that we raise. A
portion of this report is as follows
During the past twenty years the
consumption of cotton in the north
has increased 100000 bales or so per
cent; in the south 1,607, 900 bales or
500 per cent. - These as well as other
statistics, go to prove that the south
is. making great progress along the
line of cotton manufacturing and that
ere long we will manufacture all that
we raise. When this is done, then
this great section of the United States
will be doing what it should have
done all along.

AN UNLUCKY DEAL.
Illustrating the Mistake of q MAI Who Tries to Help Around
 the House.

When a married man gets out of his orbit, or off his half of the domestic carpet, so to speak, the consequences are always more or less disastrous tN him, says the Detroit Free Press.
 We've just moved" said an unhap- py-looking man in little neighbor- hood crowd of men who were buying their evening cigars at corner to- bacco shop. "Or, rather, we are hat moved. Half our household truck has gone over to the new place, and hak Is still with ua Then sold 8 lot, too and got myself in awful hot watsr. You know how 1t is when man starts out in his own house to do thinEa without asking his wife"
 "Oh, yes: we know" echoed all the others.
 'Tn our stable attic," the man con- tinued, i've had lot of old stun stored. I've heard my wife say dozen times that we must look 1t over and sell good deal of it the neat time we moved To-day she was over to the other house, and as was kind of stand- Ing round, not knowing where to take hold next, along came a junk man through the alley. I hailed him and took him up in the stable attic; there I sold him an old table, an old high chair, a battered old crib and a car pet. He gave me six dollars for the lot found box of old battered brass trays. plaques and picture frames after he was gone, and peddled those of at nickel apiece to some neighborhood children who were tagging me around all day.
 "Of course, a man never really knows what he has sold until his wife tells him; and tomorrow I'm to chase all day after that junk man. I've sold our best parlor carpet, taken up when sum- mer came in, thy wife's own highly treasured infants high chair and 8 crib which was also her mothers, and . real mahogany table she had stored away to have done over. She herself had paid nine dollars for the old table, and was glad to get 1t at that. Old ta-. bles are getting scarce, she says"
 "How about the brass objects?" some one asked.
 "Oh, I've got to go around and buy those back, too," the man replied, sad ly. "They were high-art beaten brass nondescripts which my wife made her self at the age of IS. and she says her mother wouldn't part with them for anything"
