PEACE RUMORS
FLY FAST.
But RuSSia'S Attitude Is Said
To Be Unchanged.

st. Petersburg, Feb. %, 1880 p. M
Although the party which IS advocat
ing peace as the only egress from the
present situation continues to gain
strength, nothing has actually been
decided and no move has yet been
made. 1t is officially maintained that
Russla's attitude is unchanged. AT
the Foreign Office not the slightest
announcement is given to the pence
talk. On the contrary. it IS affirmed
as strongly as ever that Japan must
propose terms. while at the same time
II is admitted that it is uncomfortable
that Japan can offer conditions ac-
equitable to Russia, and that therefore
the war must 60 on to conclusion.
The idea of complete Russian victory
is not harbored, but 1t IS insisted that
Russia Is not beaten and Will not be
beaten until Gen Kuropatkln is de.
cIsively worsted by Gen. Oyama and
the fate of Admiral Rojestvensky' 8
souad,on is determined. The main
consideration entering into the calcu-
lations of the uncomprcmising advo'
Gates of a prosecution ct the war Is
that Japan s financial resources must
become exhausted long before Russia ..

A SABRE SLAP.
The Greeting To A Workman
Who Wished to Shake
RooseN elt's Hand.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The return
tin of the President was made from
Philadelphia In a private car attached
to the regular train and crowd was
gathered ut the PennsylvanIa depot to
greet him. The President was accom-.
panied by the German Ambassador and
Baroness SteInbeIg and le Others VINO
went from here, and Senator Knox
came back with the party. Much OF
the time was spent in the observation
portion of the CAL, where the Plesl-
dent chatted with his guests
The President apparently was not
annoyed by an incident which occurred
In Philadelphia while he was driving
from the Academy of Music 10 the
aImOry, where he was the guest OF the
City Troop at luncheon Before the
Presidential party reached the City
Troops aImOIy an unknown man
dashed into the street and got within
eight or ten feet of the President 8
carriage. There he was struck with
the fiat of a sabre by one of the four
troopers who surrounded the PTesi-
dent s carriage, and checked by the
force of the blow he staggered and was
lost sight of In the crowd The man
appeared to be a laboreI about As years
OF age. Those who witnessed the in
cident believe that he merely sought
to shake hands with the President.
He had run parallel with the carriage
for over q block and Secret Service
Agent ryree, who rode with the Presi.
dent, had ordered him TO get out OF
the way. Tyree finally called to
trooper, who quickly drew his sHDIe,
and as the man refused to stop,
struck him a sound blow on the back.

A WORLD WAR
SAYS HOBSON
The Desire For China With Its
4SO,OOO,OOO The Cause.
EUROPE AGAINST ENGLAND AND JAPAN.

Louisville KY. February 21.-In-
yolving all the nations of the earth,
world war is Predicted by Capt.
Richmond Pearson Hohson, who
charges that the Powers of Europe are
united solidly against England, and
that every effort is being made to pro-
woke Great Britain TO an open act of
-aIfaIe so that France can take the
field openly against Japan and Eng
land He further says that the people
of Europe, alarmed at the threat of the
yellow Peril, have become sympa-
thizers with Russia and are united
against the japanese he says all
Russla's reteats have been pTearranged
and that the next movement by Rus
STA will be an invasion of Mongolia.
Can't. HobIon intimates. although he
does not directly charge. that the
Russian navy fired on the Hull fishing
fleet in pursu 1nce of plan to involve
England in the war now being wAged
an the Far East.
The cause for this world war, Capt.
HobsOn SAID, is the effort OF Europe
to get possession of the 48O, 600, 600
people of China, to use them as Ia
boTers to compete with America and
TO use them as soldiers to fight the
world. 1t is to be war of mllitaIlsm
against commeIcialism he said, and
with the people of China organized
and trained there will be no doubt of
the result. He said the yellow Peril"
is greatly exaggerated. but it has been
used to change the sentiment of the
people of Europe in favor of the Rus-
slams. He said the real peril OF the
yellow race was that they might be
made slaves of the Europeans and used
an that way to conquer the earth,
sweeping aside the Americans in
commercial way. The Chlnaman,
Capt. Hobson said, is the superior OF
the Japanese IN every way, as fight
ing man and industIIally, but he lacks
training. In China are 48O, OOO. 600 OF
the best factory hands In the world,
he SAID. The only solution he saw in
the situation was for the United States
to prevent the seizure of China. and in
this he said the occupation of the Phil
fppines was an important factor that
might determine the whole question
favOIably.
Capt. Hobson urged that every man
take close personal interest in the
welfare of his city, in the do1ngs OF
she State and in the active operations
of the entire country. as well as watch :
ing closely the actions in the big
world. He advised following closely
the operations of the armies in China,
a etudy of political conditions and an
honest effort to better the conditions OF
the state and country, and through
them of the world.

.SEWANEE SQEEzEO BY
CUMBERLAND COMPANY
Telephone Corporation Makes
Demand In Violation OF
Agreements.

Sewanee, Tenn. Feb. 20 The Cum
berland Telephone Company de-
llveled all ultimatum to the university
authorities yesterday tnat will result
In taking. out the exchange at this
place. The company put In an ex-
change here some four years ago, at
first with the agreement that SUD
scrlbers should pay fo' their service
only when the phones were in use,
which IS about nine months each year,
and that the twelve or more phones
used by the university should have a
reduced rate. 1t was also understood
that the university should have re-
duced rate for long distance service,
probably to reciprocate the courtesy OF
giving free right of way for the lines
across their III 600 acre domain, and
the Office for exchange furnished free.
The company spon issued orders that
the instr uments should be paid for at
full annual rate whether In use or not.
This was submitted to by the com
unity. Now they notify the university
that full rates must be paid or
the exchange will be cut off. he reply
they got was to proceed.
The Vice Chancellor has already taxi
steps to organize local exchange and
has negotiations 10 progress to secure
equipment for the exchange. Sewaneo
is so situated that it can be wholly indie
pendent of the telephone monopoly.
The Vice Chancellor is not at all uneasy
and desires to see the telephone COM
pany carry out their demands.

SAD DEATH
IN CALIFORNIA
End Comes To Mrs. Milo n.
Smith at Pasadena
Monday.

Sad news, indeed, reached here Tues
day in a telegram to Mr.. FRANK u
Smith, bearing tidmgs OF the death at
Pasadena, California Of his sister. Mrs
Emma Davis Smith. The paI ting was
at 3 o clock Monday afternoon, when 10
this flower city of the g lden west. one
of the sweetest characters Columbia
has ever known said farewell to husband,
father and adopted sister, and dropped
peacefully into that sleep which knows
no waking.
Toe funeral and interment we're in
Pasadena.
Emma Davis Smith was born at
the Columbia Athenaeum, Decem-
Der 26 1872. She was highly
educated and brilliant in her attain
ments, yet simple, lovable and natural
in her character. Her home life was
beautiful; and she was the idol of the
family. Her influence on the hundreds
of girls who came from every state 10
the South to attend her fathers school,
bears fruit in nobler womanhood 10
hundreds of homes, and her memory will
be cherished by the many who came to
know and learned to love her.
On June IL. 1900, she married her
cousin. Mr.. Milo II. Smith, and left
Columbia to make Milwaukee her home.
The northern climate proved too severe
to a naturally delicate constitution
and her devoted husband closed out hls
large business at Milwaukee, and last
October moved to Pasadena, only few
miles out from Los Angeles, with the
hope that the climate Of this land OF
sunshine would prove beneficial. They
we're there joiAed by Capt. Robert D
Smith and Miss Helen Smith. Neither
money, or pains, nor loving care we're
spared to bring health again to this
loved member of the household, and
happiness to the hearts of the family.
For time it seemed that the change
would bring about the greatly desired
results, but there was decided reacton
about January lst, and for the past few
weeks the family have been sppre-
hensive that the end was fast approach
ing.

what his taxes viii be next year, the
Clarksburg Telegram must be draw
ing largely on its imagination, or is
trying to manufacture sentiment in
advance. Fairmont Times.
Why should the Times undertake
TO misIead its readers in this way :
For instance, under the old laws the
state rate of levy was IS cents on
the hundred dollars. Under the
new laws it is but 90 cents on the
hundred dollars. The Times GER
tainIy will not undertake to say this
is untrue. Should it not believe the
truth of this, it need only recall the
fact that 35 cents was the rate last
year, when the old laws were in
force, and this year it is only 20
cents. What made the change !!
The answer is: The new tax laws.
tits not necessary to go further to
show the error made by the Times.
though there are several other feat
ures of the tax laws now in vogue
which commend themselves and show
conclusively the erroneous impress
sion the Times tries to make.
