STRATEGIC POINT OCCU-
PIED BY THE SOUTHERN
Secret of Quiet Move Around Embree.
vile.

Secret of Quiet Move Around Embree.
vile.
The secret is out as to the quiet move
OF the Southern Railway in placing a
graders outfit between Embreeville
and Erwin few days ago. That Sec
ton is considered a strategic point,
from a railroad point of view, and the
Southern will, therefore, proceed to
build six miles of road between the two
points, or will at least do sufficient
amount of work to forestall any other
road over the six miles Immediately
east of Embreeville and along the
south side of the Nolachucky river.
The South & Western Railway Com
pany, it is said ON good authority, will
likely build from Limestone to Erwin,
and johnson City will in all proba-
billty not secure the new line.
The South & Western Railway Com
pany, which it is said, is backed by the
Zimmerman interests and the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad, has
plans, which, if carried out, will be
extensive. The South & Western pro-
poses to build from Ironton, o., on the
Ohio river to the Atlantic coast at
Charleston, S. @. These plans must
be slowly developed on account of the
greatness of the project. George L..
Garter, supposed by many to be the
promoter Of the South & Western, is
said to be in reality the construS BON
agent of the real promoters. He has
organized the Carolina Construction
Company, which it is stated will build
the line when the plans of the roads
hackers will have matured.
The Seaboard Air Line and the Gin.
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton railroads
are figuring to get into the Goa
fields of southwest Virginia. A through
trunk line from the Great Lakes
to the seacoast at Charleston, s. c..
will be the result of the plans.
, The Ohio river is being bridged be
tween Ironton, o., and Ashland, Ky
From Ashland the proposed line will
follow the forks of the Sandy rive
through the mountains of eastern
\ Kentucky, the only possible route fo
: a railroad line. 1t will be built pas
; Wise, Norton and Big Stone Gap, Va.
through the breaks of the Cumberlan
mountains. At Big Stone Gap tn

NOT MAX GORKY'S WAY
The Death of a Liberal RefOrmer no
 Loss to Freedom.

Moscow, Oct. 13.-Voicing the sen timents of the extreme wing of the Russian reformers, Maxim Gorky to- day expressed sincere sorrow at the death of Prince TroubetskOy as Q. man and a Russian, but declared that Rus sia had nothing to hope from the re- ported activities of such men as Prince Troubetskoy.
 He added: q regret Prince Trou- betskoy as a frank, just and honest man, not as a representative of the liberal party which can never effect reforms in Russia. The ancestors of TroubetskOy. Gaditzin and GolOvin. went hand in hand with imperialism. The taint is still in the blood They are incapable of realizing their splen- did opportunities to know and further the needs of the people The revolu- ton will come soon, like an avalanche when least expected. The disorders at Moscow will perhaps cease temporarily, but will be resumed in a month or two with renewed force"
 The case against Gorky has not been heard. but the Russian writer reiter- ated his determination not to permit the proceedings to be dropped. He said he would force the government to bring him to trial

pressive. He began by saying that
 what Arizona needs is not congress-
 men to talk to them but congressman
 to talk for them. He jibed his fellow
 tourists by saying that he had tried
 in forming the party to select the poor
 est takers and the honliest men in
 congress but that he had made a mis-
 take and had brought bunch of hand some orators who were doing most of
 the talking. Then he referred as did
 MT. Murphy to the disappointment of last summer when he had arranged a tour of Arizona but the present trip
 had been a delightful one ever since they passed Raton. Leaving his per sOnal expressions of qualification he said the energy, enterprise and indus try that had built up so many thriving prosperous cities could not be check ed in its onward march until the goal sought for had been attained. He point ed to a reversal of the policy of con- gress in later years. That instead of admitting territories to grow into states it was demanding that states be made first when public sentiment would demand their admission but he predicted that it would not be long un- til Arizona would be a state in name as well as in fact. He claimed some credit in the statehood movement of the last fourteen years for he had vot ed three times for single statehood for Arizona though he confessed to having voted once for joint statehood as did all the other gentlemen present except MT. Maynard, who was on the other side of the house. The greatest draw back to Arizona's ambition he said is the ignorance of senators and repre-
 sentatives concerning Arizona, a sit nation that is rapidly changing. He could defend his own opinions but 1t is a poor policy to waste the ammunition six months before the battle but he be- lieved that when the message of the was finally delivered at the next session, no AriZonian would have cause to be dissatisfied
