For ten years military governor of Formosa for two years chief or the war office, it was he who had per 1ected the transport service and tied the ends Of the army together so well that the phenomenal six months dash of the troops through Korea and beyond the 1alu startled the world as it has not been startled since Kitchener set out for Khar- toum kodama is the Japanese Kitch- ener' and he laid out the reduction of Port Arthur with the grand strategy of master mind His first plan failed, be- cause kodama underestimated the foe he had to face-a foe great in soldierly en- durance. and in this instance allied with nature. Then Kodama came down from the north one morning, spent two days in looking over the ground, and settled back in the great house of the Russian mayor at Dalny, leaned his elbows on the table, reached forth his clenched fists and. looking into it, said with his parted over set teeth: "I hold Port Arthur there.

WORKNRN AGAIN
 IN AN UGLY MOOD
EMPLoYEs IN ST. PETERSBURG DECIDE TO CLOSE DOWN FAC. TORIES, WHICH THROWS so,ooo MEN OUT OF EMPLOYMENT.

St. Petersburg, March 2s e:15 a. m.- The industrial problem in St. Peters burg has again entered on a difficult stage, the owners of many factories hay ing in consequence of continued back ing and filling by their employees, de- cided to close down their works entire ly locking out thirty thousand men. The idle workmen are in an ugly frame of mind. The machinery in one of the bis cotton mills was wrecked yesterday, and the spirit of disoraer is in the air.
 Trouble Is expected. and it is believed that the wilder spirits are now not with out bombs and other weapons of de- fense and reprisal Guard officers con tinue to receive warnings that they will sign their death warrants if they order ocratic propaganda of demonstration and disturbance is evident. The proprietors Of the cotton mills and woolen mills, which have been operating on the small est possible margin of profit. are gen eIally planning to pay off and discharge their employees, trying with the aid of the authorities, to send them back to the villages.
 It Is openly stated among the work men that the fighting wing of the social revolutionists has passed sentence of death on 30 high personages, the list being headed with the name of Grand Duke Alexleff, and ending with that of the Emperor, and bearing also the name of the Dowager Empress.

A DREAD DISEASE REPORTED.
Reported to Be Epidemic In the City
 of Birmingham.

According to a report from pr. U. G. Mason, the wel-known colored phys- clan of Birmingham, and at one time assistant city physician, this city has an epidemic of acute terebro-spinal minin- gets, a dread disease, that is just now baffllng the skill of some of the best physicians in the country. An epidemic of this disease is reported from the city of New York where the physicians are having considerable trouble in controlling it
 This disease is an acute affection of the cerebro-spinal region, usually re- sulting fatally within "A to AS hours from it's inception. It is of such nature as to be easily confounded with typhus fe- yer and is found only in adults.
 Dr. Mason has had four or five cases of this disease since the 12th of March and all have died in a short time after symptoms began with the exception of one. That one case seems to be con- valescent. He does not consider the dis ease as contagious, but rather sounds a note of warning that the disease may be checked if possible before 1t becomes more formidable.
 Dr. Mason held a post mortem in one case and the result pointed conclusive ly to cerebro-spinal miningetis.

OFFICERS DID NOT
 VIOLATE PAROLE
MEN AT PORT ARTHUR UNDER STOOD THAT JAPAN HAD NO O8- JECTloNS TO THEIR TRAVELLING OVERLAND VIA SINMlNTlN.

Harbin, March 26.-Sergius Poletik, the Russian officer who was captured on board the steamer Nigretia, en route from Shanghai to Vladivostok and released on parole, and who, with Captain Solensky, and Leutenants Parbash and Lepoi of the Port Arthur garrison, has arrived at Harbin on his way to Russia, declares in view of the arrest of a Russian officer at Snmintin for violating his parole by travelling overland, that he and his fel- low officers were informed by the Japan csc consul at Shanghai that Japan had no objection to their returning to Russia by way of Sinmntin. Captain Poletiks state ment is as follows:
 Tn view of the arrest of a Russian offi- oer at Sinmintin and Japanese statements regarding the arrest, I consider it my moral duty to declare that no conditions as to not having passed through Sinmin- tin which then did not enter into the zone of hostilities, were imposed upon us, and many officers returned by this route including myself and three others from Port Arthur, who arrived at Muk- den on February 24 The officer arrested at Sinmintin at the moment of its occu- pation could not have known at Shang- hai that tho road was in the hands of the Japanese. Further l was present at a conversation in the Astor House at Shanghai of officers with the Japanese consul, who then stated that there could be no objections on the part of Japan to our passage through Sinmintn. The Rus sian consul at Shanghai also would not have officers to attempt the trip if Sin mintln had not been regarded as neutral" '"

Cottingham for $2O00 cash. The two-story brick building of Otto Agricola, on Broad street, was sold by the North Alabama Real Estate company to Mrs. Charles L. Gum for $S000 cash. Both are splendid bargains, and were sold cheap. Other deals have been made Of some smaller amounts. but all goes to show that Gadsden property Is In demand. One gentleman was here this week look ing around, and stated that he would in- vest some $10O0O in property here in a few weeks.

JIMMY BRITT, POLITICIAN.
How the Crack Californian Helped to
 Defeat Anti-Fiehtine Bill.

From the New York Sun.
 California hght-goers are inclined to think that the preservation of the law which permits boxing in that state is due to the suave and magnetic powers of Jimmy Britt. Britt, as followers of the game are undoubtedly aware, is poish- ed young man. His father is something of a politician, and Jimmy inherits some of his dads qualities in this direction. When it looked as if the Ralston bill was going to pass the legislature Britt did lot of thinking. He approached his father and in a curt way said:
 Pop, think I have good scheme whereby l can make the gentlemen who make our laws at Sacramento think diff Ierently about stopping boxing In Cali fornia. l am going to see them personally any have heart to heart talk with. them. Maybe they will change their minds and shelve the bill altogether. TLere is no harm in trying, and 1 am go ing to take a chance.''
 Britt senior, could not see the matter in the same light and urged his son against such mission He said that Jimmy would only have failure for his peins and that he would be the laughing stock of the whole assembly. But the pugilist was obdurate and went on his way.
 He visited the assembly and made It his business to get an introduction to each member of the legislature. They no doubt expected to see a broken nosed. low browed tough, with cauli- flower ears and other unsight1y appen- dages. Instead they saw a good looking, well dressed youth, glib of speech pos session the self-confidence of a million aire. Britt made an instant impression and at once entered into q strong plea for the game of gloves. The lawmakers liked Britt's way. and his visit was such a success that the bill was killed Britt is hero in the eyes of his brother pro- fessions, and they predict greater things for him than the championship Britt thinks that he may become a lawmaker some day himself and that if he does he will try to keep up high standard of boxing in California

Swallowed a Mnuse

Danville Penn) Cor. New York Herald.
 The skeleton of a mouse, bandana handkerchief and other articles of curi- ous nature found in the stomach of a dead man have furnished puzzle for the resident physician and his assistants at the state hospital for the insane here. John Alexander. in whose stomach these evidences of queer diet were found, died in the hospital this week. and his body will be sent to Philadelphia, where, un- der the direction of the State Anatomical society it will be examined in the hope of learning more about the case
 Danvlle physicians say the case of Alexander stands alone in medical an nals. What renders it remarkable is. not that the man should have swallowed the things found in him. but that he coul1 have lived two years after the carcass of mouse lad disintegrated in his stomach, which is believed to be the case.
 Alexander was a foreigner and had been in the hospital. for two years He had no relatives in this country. He had com plained of abdominal pains. and the hos pital physicians were unable to diagnose his case. He was classed with the harm- less insane.
