cheWed nearly a plug of Virginia
tobacco every day since hewas about
twenty years old and that he drank

may be carried farther. Virginia
plugs of the tobacco described are
known as 'sthrees,o that is they run
three to the pound. Therefore this
man consumed $3.50 pounds of to-

Admiral Togo's Victory.

No more striking evidence ofjust

that offered by Admiral Togo'sreply
to the imperial rescript commencing
the valor of the admiral and his
sailors. For an instant the curtain is
drawn aside and we see the "Yan-
KEGS of the East" revealed as mys-
tics and ancestor wofshippers. In

pect from man who has shOW.i him
self one of the greatest admirels in
history and fighter who has taken
advantage of every modern device
to assure his success, we find him
saying that victory was due to the
ssbrilliant virtues of the Mikado and
the protection afforded by his ''im-
perial ancestors and was not due to
the "action of any human being"
It is hard for western mind to see
how the Mikado's ssbrilliant virtue''
and the power of his defunet pro-
genitors had anything to do with the
result.

Time FOR PEACE.
ASKS COUNT
CASSINI THE QUESTION.
Mr.. Roosevelt Makes it Plain in
a Friendly Way That Russia
is Playing a Losing Game
Cassini Doesn't A gree
With Him in
Words.

Washington June 2.-The Presi-
dent today struck a blow for peace
in the Far East. In conference at
the White House this afternoon
with Count Cassini, the Russian am
bassador, the president expressed
the earnest hope that Russia would
forthwith conclude peace with Ja-
pan. Prolongation of the war, he
believes, will not result in victory
for the Russian arms and can only
serve to increase Japan's demands
and rel der more difficult drafting
of treaty of peace, which the Gar
as we'll as the Mikado can sign. The
President spoke, he said, as the
friend of Russ a no less than of Ja-
pan and on behalf, not only of the
Washington gov, IN nent, but IN tbs
interest of hu u.tnity. The Pr 81
dent inform 9i The an ba5sador that
in expressing hope fer an early peace
he voiced not only his stlOng per-
sonal sentiments and those Cf his
government, bat ne believed these
were held by al of The po Ters. H s
opinion was tn 1t it u uid be a mis-
take for Russia to cJ.ltlnue the war.
In adIitiol to the 5uflt ring enta ieC
by the naval conflict, he did not be
Iieva that Russia ha, anything tt
win in prolonging ho7lllitias. The
President did not enter INTO details,
but the personal ch ,racter of til,
conversation, and his long acquain'-
ance with Count Cassini enabled
hi im to talk plainly regarding the
decisive character of the Japane5e
victories,
Having received no word from his
government since the annihilation of
Rojestvensky's feet, save the briei
official dispatches telling of the en-
gagement, Count Cassini was unable
to do more than give the President
his own personal opinions on the sit
uation. The ambassador was deeply
touched by the sincere cordiality OF
the reception and the frank and
friendly manner in which the Presi-
dent spoke. He coHld not see, how
ever, that there was anything in the
present situation, unfortunate as it
undoubtedly was for his government,
which necessitated Russia's suing
for peace.
Whatever might be the ultimate
decision of his government, he took
| the ground that Russia could lose
nothing either by waiting or by con-
tinuing the war on land.

A Horrible Tragedy.

A dep,o able tragedy occurred in
Yancay county Monday morning,
when Charles Doan, % years of age,
shot and killed his 13-year old brother
with @ paper wad which he placed IN
d gun aud fired at him. There are
two stories of the affair, ,one Of which
is that the boy was killed through
malice, and the other that the elder
Doan intended only to frighten his
younger brother. One story tells Of the
aeartieSsness of the brothers action
in that after infIicting the fatal wound /,
he left the hoy lying in his life blood
and quietly went hunting; another
story that when the fatal shot was
fired Charley Doan ran to his brothers
side; asked if he was hurt and seeing
the awful wound, and getting no re-
ply, tenderiy picked him up and car
ried hun home. The correct version
of the affair will probably not be
learned until the elder Doan is placed
on trial for his life at the criminal
term of Yancey Superior Court. Char,
ley Dean was arrested the evening o1
the tragedy, taken to Burnsville and
committed to Jail without bond by
the corOner'S Jury.

Swept From the Sea.

The battles with the Chinese end
at Santiago lose no little of their bril-
liancy ard historic interest when
brought into contrast with the tre-
mendc Us battle at the Tsu Islands.
While history is Wr item and read
that battle will be recalled. The
weight of the opposing fleets and the
completeness of the victory will rem
der it absolutely memorable and inn
posing. Out of fighting fleet made
UP of tweniy-six modern ships, only
one cruiser and one torpedo boat
were left TO limp into shelly under
the guns of the Go den Horn. Think
of 1t only one cruiser and one tor
pedO boat from a big fleet and a
once formidable navy, for the Rus
sian navy was two years ago account
ed as heavy IN tonnage and guns as
the navy of the United States.
The manner IN which the remark
able v ctOry was accomplished will
render it extrem ly historic. 1t was
oetond doubt the result of the skill
ful employment of mines, torpedo
crast and submarine boats, aided of
course by the heavy guns and skill
ful gunners Of the Japane Sc fleet. A
ISWarm of torpedo boats, mum bering
eighty, assailed in a chosen spot the
fated Russian ships. The japanese
do not admit as yet the use of sub
marines, but no doubt they had a
part in the mighty combat. It was a
battle between giants, fought with
modern appliances, with men beh nd
them notable alike for skill, valor
and discrimination.
Its effects will be PREACHING. Its
lessons will be conneI in all navies.
It's physical effects " ill revOlutionize
the Far East. The western nations
have lost their opportunities for con-
quest in that quarter of The globe, for
this victory means that the nations
of the Far East are competent to set
up a Monroe Doctrine of their own,
and that they will do it. China will
be reconstructed. Japan being the
reconstructo1 and leading the way.
China's integrity will be preserved,
and this means a great deal to the
trading nations, including the United
States.
