Private" John Allen of Missis-
sippi says that two lawyers in his
district had a difficulty, and COM
mon friends decided that nothing
but blood letting could settle the
matter. Consequently a challenge
was sent, duly acknowledged and
the hour set for duel. One OF the
principals was sufferer with st.
Vitus' dance, and when they faced
each other the afflicted man trem-
bled from head foot, and his pistol
arm described more intricatecurves
than ever mathematician plotted.
His adversary was perfectly cool
and immovable. But before the
signal to fire was given the man OF
self-possession laid his pistol down
on the grass, walked into the woods,
cut stick with fork at one end OF
it, then stuck it in front Of the vo-
tary of st. Vitus, and said TO his
second: II must request that you
asa your principal TO rest his pistol
in that fork.
What forT" asked the second.
II have no objection to running
the risk of being shot once" he
answered, but decline to have one
bullet make honey comb OF me. II
that man ever hits me his bullet
will fill me full Of holes.'
That was too much for the sec
onds. They began laughing, q
truce was patched up and no shots
were exchanged.-Erening Post

Il may be very delightful to be in

in its early stages at least, has a

whims and fancies, cold breezes and
feverish furies of pair OF undeclar-

walks of life to whom the news of her
death has come as a personal grief.
DIR. Dripps accepted the call to a
church in Germantown several years
ago, and they had since resided in that
city, which was Mrs. Dripps' former
home. After leaving Savannah she
had conducted a school for girls,
known as the Stevens School, in Ger
mantown, and was it's principal at the
time of her death.
Mrs. Dripps leaves. besides her hus-
band. one son, Mr.. Robert Dripps, and
two sisters, Mrs. Carpenter and Miss
Dunning, who reside abroad. The in
terment will take place in German

REVIEWS THE ISSUES

Nomination for Vice President

ment that We should let its open enc
mics or negative friends know that we
aoate nothing of our determination to

The Philippines.
The administration in the Philippines
has been dictated by a broad sense of
duty. 1t has not been subversive of
our national ideals. but has been in
conformity with the best traditions of
the republic.
The archipelago came to the United
states as the result of a war. and il
became the duty of the administration
10 enforce the laws there as elsewhere.
TO maintain the national sovereignty
ana to inaugurate civil government.
Before the insurrrection had ceased
President Mckinley admirably ex-
pressed our purpose Said he:
No effort will be spared to build up
the waste places desolated by war and
Dy long years of misgovernment We
Shall not walt for the end of strife to

continue as we have begun, to open
the schools and the churches. to set
the courts in operation, to foster in
dustry and trade and commerce, and
IN every way in our power to make
these people whom Providence has
ulousH 1T WIlnn our jurisdiction feel
that it is their liberty and not our
power; their welfare, and not our gain,
we are seeking to enhance. Our flag
has never waved over any community
but in blessing. 1 believe the Filipinos
will soon recognize the fact that it
has not lost its gift of benediction in
its worldwide journey to their
Shores"
In concluding his letter. Senator
Fairbanks says: I'VE are inspired with

our countrymen and to increase to the
utmost the strength and honor of the

TOXIC is EXPECTING
ABATTLE VERY SOON.
Looks for the Hostile Armies Il
Clash at NulSden.

Looks for the Hostile Armies to
Clash at Mukden.
Toxic, Sept. 81. Noon.-An impress
sion is growing generally that an en-
lgagement will soon take place at
Mukden. Gen. Kuropatkin is evident
ly preparing to make a determined
resistance to any attempt to dis
constructing defenses. He has an
immense force available. but the opin-
ion is expressed that Tie Pass would
be a more favorable location for de-
Tense. The Russians, however, are UNI
willing to suffer the loss of prestige
which would be involved by the aban-
Comment of Mukden.
Both armies are now rested and have
recovered from the effects of the fight
at Lao Yang. They are in condition
to fight and the weather is favorable
for military operations. The roads
are drying and the Japanese are
speedily restoring the railway.
A party of military attaches who
recently came to Lao Yang from Toxic
were dragged for one hundred miles
in open trucks by coolies. The army
is now forwarding rolling stock. with
captured cars and engines, and the
service will soon be thoroughly or
gained.
With the Lao river open the task of
transporting men and supplies to the
advanced base of operations at Lao
Yang is simple.
There is much speculation now as to
the extent of the fall and winter cam
paign. 1t is generally thought that
Field Marshal Oyama will continue
pressing Kuropatkin back until the
winter falls and will then strongly
guard his advance line until spring.
The Japanese carried on an aggressive
campaign against the Chinese during
the winter, but conditions are different
in this war.
A renewal of the attack upon Port
Arthur on newer and more aggressive
lines is expected this week, and it is
predicted in well-informed quarters
that the reduction of that fortress will
be accomplished within ten days or a
fortnight.
The authorities continue silent con-
corning operations there. The publica-
ton of a small list of casualties in the
naval brigade operating on land Is the
only recent official utterance in refer
ence to the siege.
The spoils taken at Lao Yang con-
tinue to grow. Gen. Kuroki reports
the capture of four miles OF railway
rails and 200 tons Of coal.

WOMAN WHO ESCAPED
FROM PORT ARTHUR
Tells Her Experiences and Describes the Condi.
tons There.

Chez Foo. Sept. 21. 1880 p. m-Mrs.
Anna Kravtchenko. the English wife
of a Russian army officer, who arrived
here the night of Sept. II with Lieut..
Prince Radzivil, from Port Arthur. is
the first woman to run the blockade
from the Russian stronghold since the
Japanese increased their vigilance to
prevent egress from the port. Her
trip was rendered extremely perilous
because she came out with the Prince
and his companion, Lieut.. Christofo-
rolf, who carried messages from Lieut..
Kuropatkin. Both these officers were
disguised and had they been cap
tured by the Japanese, would certain
ly have been executed.
Mrs. Kravtchenko was so worn out
and exhausted by her adventure that
she was unable to see the correspond
ent of the Associated Press until to-
day. In an interview she spoke to
him as follows:
I'VE left Port Arthur at o'clock on
wind and the moon was bright. We
were successful in avoiding the danger
of the first Japanese blockading line.
We came up to the second line when
the moon was under a cloud. Search
lights were flashed on all sides, but
our junk was not discovered.
1--WE suddenly discovered ourselves
close to another junk with a Japanese
crew on board. They presumably were
pirates, but we outsailed them and
drew away.
At o'clock the next morning we
saw a steamer coming in our direc-
ton. She had the appearance of a
cruiser and 1 was terribly frightened.
"When we saw the cruiser, Prince
Radzivil and Lieut. Christoforoff went
below. / stretched myself out on deck
The Savannah morning news., 1904-09-22

and covered myself with dirty blankets.
Chinese were lying at my feet and at
my sides and for nearly one hour, al
though nearly smothered. l kept my
position. 1 never uttered a more
thankful prayer than when 1 was in
formed that the steamer we had seen
was a Red Cross vessel and that her
captain had no intention of overhaul
ing US.
There are no contagious diseases
at Port Arthur, but many deaths are
resulting from the bite of a large red
headed fly which feeds on the decom-
posing corpses scattered over the bat
tlefelds. A doctor who was bitten
on the thumb by one of these flies, in
stantly severed that member. He then
had his arm amputated, but not before
the poison had reached his heart. The
result of the bite was fatal.
THE old town of Port Arthur is
almost entirely wrecked. The streets
are filled with holes made by explod
ing shells. The loss of life in Port
Arthur from the commandments has
been remarkably small. once l count
ed fifty-seven Japanese shells fired at
Russian battery, not one of which
reached its mark.
The Russian garrison is cheerful.
1t would be impossible to imagine a
drawer or finer set of men. They re-
turn from their days duty in the
trenches with songs on their lips. AL
though many places in the ranks are
vacant. all the men have unlimited
confidence in their power to hold the
fortress against the enemy.
II assure you" Mrs. Kravtchenko
said in conclusion. to the correspond
ent, that 1 believe Port Arthur will
stand against the Japanese. 1 do not
think the stronghold will fall"
