NOTES.
The johnson City band furnished
music for the occasion.
The engine outsparked the young
couples, and that was sparkling some.
J. A. Cargille made several views of
of the mountain tops from the highest
point accessible.
Uncle Jack Crumley was present and
could hardly be kept from wading in
the ripping river.

with several Hotel Carnegie boarders
and all the food available.
Aunt Judy Blackwell and Mrs. W. j.
Miller were there with the goods when
dinner time arrived.
A number of strangers from the low
lands Of Louisiana were present and
almost broke their necks admiring the
rugged grandeur of the section.
Mrs. Bertha Range was present and
felt so near heaven that she chewed
the snuff stick of peace with bitter
enemy.
Mrs. Bird Weller boarded the train
at Unaka going up. She was suffering
with sprained thumb but would not
complain. There are two stories as to
how the accident occurred, one is that
she fell through 12-foot opening in a
bridge and thought it was a cattle
guard. The other version, more east
ly believed by her friends. is that while
swimming the Nolachucky at Unaka
she struck it against Davy Jones' lock
or. The fact that she occasionally
takes a swim in the Nolachucky per-
haps accounts for the river changing
its course so often.
Every time we 60 up that road we
lose Panama. This trip we tried to
fool it by wearing cap but it took it
anyhow but we had sense enough to
not jump after it,
Joe Lyle was aboard looking for
plack to locate on an upland farm and

There were many vacant cottages en-
route where lovers had begun life ON
love but they we're away hustling for
grub.

HAVE NO PEACE PLANS.
czar viii Continue the War to the
Bitter End


The conference which Emperor
Nicholas has been holding with mem
bers Of the council of the empire, M
Witte and other members and advis
ers on the internal and external sit
nations, have been concluded, but
nothing has occurred which would in
dicate that the government is pre-
pared to depart from its present pro-
gramme Of continuing the war to the
bitter end.
Nevertheless. talk of peace was
heard Sunday in many quarters, the
foundation for it being ascribed to
Foreign Minister Lamsdorff's alleged
position in favor of such a course on
the ground that, aside from the hu-
initiation to military prestige involved,
It. would mean the REIMBURSEMENT of
Manchuria. to which Russia already is
pledged.
There is no confirmation of this
statement OF Count Lamsdorff's posi-
ion. beyond the general knowledge
hat he always has belonged to the
peace party.

SURPRISE FOR sToEssEL.
Thought kuropatkin Was on His Way
to Help Port Arthur.

A Japanese stan officer, who was
sent to Port Arthur to inform General
Stoessel Of the contents OF. the mes
sage OF the emperor Of Japan saying
that the garrison should be treated
with the greatest consideration, says:
General Stoessel's first inquiry was
about the whereabouts of General Ku-
ropatkin. | said did not know ex-
actly. but understood he was some
where about Mukden.
General Stoessel was plainly In
credulous at my statement that Gen
eral Kuropatkin had been defeated
md driven back toward Mukden, so |
produced maps. showing him the po-
siton OF the two armies near the
Shake river and gave him details of
Kuropatkin's defeat, with the loss of
$4,000 or 10000 men, at which the
Russian general expressed amazement
and quickly remarked that he had
been misled."

The night of Janaury the Japan

The foragers left their carts, drove

Japanese Try to Stir Up MonsolIans

Advices from Urga, North Mon

of Japanese officers and emissaries to
stir up Mongolia with the view to
raiding and destroying the Baikal and
Siberian roads. While the Japanese
plans are reported to have been re-
ceived with favor by the princelings
and Llamas, the people do not show
the slightest inclination to take an
active part against their Russian
neighbors, with whom they enjoy
profitable business relations.

CRUEL WAR is OVEN.
Contests In Colorado Settled Without
BIoodshed. 4.

A special from Denver. Colo, says:
With the exception OF the contest for
the governorship, which will be filed
by Governor Peabody, and the hear
ing Of which will continue through sew
eral weeks, the political troubles Of
Colorado that are Of particular inter-
est to the outside world have been
settled. and Alva Adams is governor
Despite al the incendiary talk that
has been made from time to time the
difficulties have been adjusted amic-
ably. Nobody has been killed, and.
so far as. known, nobody has even
landed or received as much as one, lit
tie punch. There is no sign of
troubles now. and unless a violent
counter current strikes in from some
unexpected direction there will be no
trouble In the future.

Combine Bushes. With Pleasure.

The Japanese Celebrated the incom-
ing Of the new year on Jan. 2, and the
sounds Of music could be plainly heard
inside the Russian lines wherever the
positions Of the two armies were
close, says Mukden dispatch. Ac-
cording to the japanese custom, many
kites and paper balloons were sent up.
Some Of the balloons. several feet in
diameter. which fell inside the Rus
sian lines, bore the inscription in Rus
sian: Happy New eYar."
The Japanese tried to combine bust
ness with pleasure, and while the fes-
tivities were in progress an attack
was made upon the village of Vito in
front Of one Of their positions. The
Russians replied with artillery on the
right and the center, and prevented
the Japanese from occupying the vii
lage.

PORT CLOSED BY JAPANESE
FOREIGN VESSELS ARE NOT AL
LOWED AT PORT ARTHUR.
British Vessel With Hospital Stores
and Surgeons is Turned Back, az
Japanese Expect to Care for Rus
sian Wounded Themselves.

The British cruiser Andromeda,
which sailed from Weihatwei on
Wednesday for Port Arthur with hos
pital stores and surgeons to assist the
sick and wounded, returned Thursday,
not having been allowed to make q
landing at Port Arthur. The cruiser
| proceeded to small bay ten miles
north OF Port Arthur, where she met
with some Japanese. The latter re-
fused all assistance or stores Of any
kind and declined to allow the ships
officers to approach closer. the reason
given being the presence of INDICATED
mines.
A Chefoo dispatch says:
Sympathy for the sick and wounded
Russians at Port Arthur is wide
spread, but an idea to care for them
at Chefoo. Tie Tsiu, Shanghai. Weihai-
wei and Tsingtau has led to an inquiry
which developed the fact that the COM
btnsd facilities OF the places named are
equal to harboring only a very small
percentage of them.
Some time ago Russian residents Of
Chefoo collected fund in anticipation
of this emergency, but at a meeting
today of the British and Japanese con-
suls and the local health of1cer the
fact was developed that the present
of Chefoo are equal to car
Ing for only sixty. The conditions at
Shanghai and Tien Tsin are proper
tionately inadequate.
The general opinion here is that the
great mass OF the sick and wounded
will be compelled to remain at Port
Arthur until they. are sufficiently con-
'alescent to return to Russia.
The refusal of the Japanese to ac-
ept the aid rendered by the British
ruiser Andromeda was an error born
( their desire to show to the world
hat Japanese humanitarianism was
lilly equal to the occasion

atches from correspondents with

At Underwood. W. Va. an attempt
was made to wreck the fast New York
and Chicago express on the B. & o.
road. A heavy iron bar was driven in
the switch with such force that 1t
required twenty minutes work to re-
move. Had the train crashed through
at the regular rate it would have
rolled over the mountain side. There
were more than 200 people on the
train. The condition OF the switch
was discovered by a trackman.
