Toxic, June 1S.-The Japanese gov

formal protest thru France against the
alleged violation OF the Japanese flag a,

Its uselessness. 1t is believed Russia
will deny, whatever tbs facts may be

desires to wage war in the most hu-
name way. it is improbable it can re-
strain its men from violations in re-
venge for atrocities perpetrated by the

st. Petersburg, June lS.-It tram
spires that the simultaneous raid of the
Viadivostok squadron and General
Stlkelberg's march southwark were the
direct outcome of plan agreed upon
by Viceroy Alexieff and General kuro-
patkin at Mukden Immediately after
the battle of Kin Chou to relieve the
tension at Port Arthur. The authori-
ties, apparently, are satisfied with the
results of Stakelberg's mission, he hav-
Ing compelled the dispatch north of de-
tachments of the third Japanese army,
commanded by General Nodzu, delaying
the siege to that extent, while the sea
raid of the Russian squadron has rem
dered further transport of troops from
the Japanese mainland Impossible. The
admiralty has no direct news from the
V1adivostok squadron and has not init
mated what its further mission is. The
war Office has received important news
regarding General Kuroki and the rea-
son why he Is at Stu Yen with three
divisions of about 10000 men and with
out reserves, but the dispatches dated
yesterday do not mention his advance.
1t is believed Kuroki really contemplate
ed combined operations to cut off and
pocket Stackelberg, but that he delayed
too long. 1t is understood kuropatkin
sent q strong Russian rorce south to
Liao Yang to meet kuroki.s move. 1t is
possible that general engagement
may be precipitated in the neighbor-
hood OF Hal Cheng.

FIRE CHIEFS IN TOWN
TYSON OF LOUISVILLE AND
 MULLIN OF BIRMINGHAM. .
They Spent Day in Montgomery with Chief Browder and Talked of .-
 Department-Went to Pensacola.

If all the fires that were talked about yesterday in Montgomery had been the real thing. Montgomery would have been about as hot as the prov erbial Hades. for Chief Thad Mullen of the Birmingham Fire Department, and Chief Nj. Fillmore Tyson of the Louisville. Ky, department, spent the day with Fire Chief John F. Browder
 of Montgomery.
 The two visiting fire fighters are roy al good fellows. They are making a , tour of the South in quest of a good time. They aver that they found 1t in
 Montgomery.
 Chief Tyson, who served from the ranks to the head of the department
 in Louisville. and whose years as a fire fighter number twenty-five, went to Birmingham to visit Chief Mullen.
 He was urged by that official to visit Chief Browder and so charmed, were the two chiefs with the hospitality of
 Chief Browder that they decided to compare 1t with the hospitality of sev- eral other cities. They left last night for Pensacola, Fla, and before their return home will visit Atlanta. You've got a great little town" said the Louisville veteran last night, and you've got a great fire department if there was enough of 1t. How in the WOH Ill SiiASl 6IOWuCT neTe, manages 10 do the work he does with four compa- nies, is beyond my comprehension, and I know a little about fire fighting. It ought at least to be doubled knew Chief Browder through the Fire Chiefs Association, and I can tell you,
 the fire chiefs think a lot of him and
 his ability. I was shown a building
 in the business district here where
 about six months ago, there was a
 fire and the building was saved. How 1t was done with four companies I can't imagine. I would have had ff-
 teen companies there, and I don't know
 that it would have been controlled quickly then"
 Chief Tyson wears a diamond badge. presented to him by the citizens of Louisville, when he was appointed chief. He has a wholesome respect
 and love for the newspaper boys" and speaks of the Louisville reporters with | the same pride that he would speak of
 intimacy with the young Governor of Kentucky.
 Chief Mullen was profuse in his praises of Montgomery and its fire de pertinent but he. too. said that the | only fault with it was its lack of pro- portions

The Civil War.

In 1860 a majority of the Southern statesmen were determined to demand all their rights in accordance with the Con stitution; and to listen to no further com promise.
 The Presidential election at this time divided the whole country into parties and there were four candidates for Pres ident.
 The announcement of the election of Lincoln in 1860 filled the entire South with alarm; it meant the success of the party which had always made slavery the chief issue in national politics
 So, regardless of the loyalty and affec- tion Of the South had always shown for the Union, the people realized they had better form a government of their own and enjoy tranquility and peace out of the Union. rather than discord and polit- ical disturbance within it.
 Jefferson Davis was opposed to seces- sion. but declared he would abide by the | decision of his State When he received the official announcement of Mississippl's action. he bade farewell to the United ! States Senate in a speech loyal to his | State, yet full of expressions of kindly l feeling to the Senate
 As We all know General R. E. Lee on- posed secession. yet when Virginia se- | ceded he immediately rendered his resio- nation 10 The united States army and gave his services and devotion to his | State.
 Peaceable secession was hoped for by the Southern people, and the ground foi this hope was their implicit belief in the right of State to secede. In the NortI different opinions prevailed at this time some preferred to let the Southern State, so in peace rather than have war oth CTS denied their right to secede. and a the same time denied the right of tn, | United States government to prevent 1t while the majority insisted the Uniol must he preserved at all costs.
 South Carolina took the initiative. Al soon as the election of Lincoln wa, known. call was issued for her peopl, to assemble in convention; and. on De cember 20, 1880. an ordinance of secession was passed, whereby South Carolina re pealed the act by which she had ratified the Constitution of the United States, anC declared the Union dissolved, which ha existed between herself and the othe States. and announced herself once nor, to be a sovereign and independent State

 Another curious thing about it Is that there is other stone in the county which is just like 1t. Rockwell county has some fine building stone. but 1t is of an entirely different kind. It resembles more nearly than anything else the bricks which are manufactured from the clay found in this section.
 Many believe that this wall was built by prehistoric men as a fortificatiou for a settlement which once stood on this very spot. Asked to explain why it is that the wall is now underground. they call atten- tiOn to the belief of geologists that once the Red river found it's way to the sea down through this valley and that 1t was miles in width.

posed of stones which are three or four inches in width, two or three inches thick and from six to eighteen inches in length. They are piled on top of one another. just like brick, and with the same regulari- ty.
 All of 1t Is underground. At some places 1t comes to within ten feet of the surface of the earth. In others one will have to dig down twice that depth be- fore it's top Is touched. In the localities where 1t is nearest the surface plowshares have turned over many of the stones and some of the fields are pientifully besprink- led with them. Wells have been dug down by the side of the wall for q distance O. fully fifty feet but it extends down beyond that depth.
 The stones are of a light yellow color. and evidently have mica in them. There are some streaks, too, which closely re- semble white marble. The substance Is very hard, and when exposed to the els-
