TfME TO GIT SCARED 4 LITTLE.


 The Republicans seem to have such a 'cinch' this year that some of the wise men are getting scared. Especial ly is this the case in Washington, where they sometimes know the state of the country, and often they don't. Veterans" there are feeling and talk ing that the campaign plans which have eliminated national issues and have made the fight wholly on local lines are not sound. If the idea can be made to take root that in an "off year. party lines may be disregarded with impunity, the party in power, these veterans say, is the one which suffers from defections. Overconndence is the chief fault which Washington officials find with the methods of the new State campaign leaders. In addition there may be cited one or two others. Cam paigners who take for granted that the full dinner-pail' means a heavy vote for the party which claims the credit for prosperity producing it, have not considered what the old campaigners have found out by experience. Pros perity and the full dinner-pail do not spell success for the party in power in an off year." said one of these veter- ans. "They do foretell general apathy and the selfish conclusion of many peo- pie that so long as business is good they need not worry about the future. Tt is when everything has been going wrong and everybody is disgusted that the voters go to the polls,
 And so forth and so on. There does- mt really seem to be much in such talk, especially ias it applies to Connecticut, but 1t is well enough for even Connec- ticut Republicans to get scared enough to vote They are so confident now that they would be pretty sad if they should lose anything by apathy.

Wireless telegraphy played an impor- tant part in the great naval engage ment between the Russian and Japan ese ships in the late war. A Japanese writer says that at the time of the bat tie of the Sea of Japan the weather was foggy and hazy to such an extent that it was impossible to see for distance greater than five miles. A Japanese scout cruiser, while searching for the Russian fleet, suddenly found himself when the fog had lifted, unexpectedly for a moment, practically in the midst of the numerous vessels of the enemy A wireless message was at once trans mitted giving notice of the discovery and this message was simultaneously received by all the vessels of the Jap anese squadrons, notwithstanding that these were some one hundred and fifty miles distant.

At one of them, for instance, f1fty-tive sci- entif1c and thirty-one technical chem ists are engaged, at a second 145 scien- tiflc chemists and 175 technologists, at a third 14S scientific chemists for sev- enty-fve technicists. The research lab- oratories of these works are lavishly equipped. One of them possesses a library of 14,OOo volumes; a second spends 15OOOO francs year on glass ware.

The Sultan listen- ed attentively and for a moment, ap- peared lost in thought. LAt last he spoke: My dear ---, have gone care- fully into the case and see exactly how it stands. You are, of course, a gentle man, therefore you would never have committed such breach of good man. ners as you allege to have taken place. Therefore no attendant could possibly have struck you.

he said:

sufficiently understood by the general
public for it to be no longer necessary

pies of government have always adj
vocated without being a candidate for

In WEST TENNESSEE
Railroads Have Suffered the Greatest
Damage in Their History.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 19.-With
the exception of the loss of eight lives
reported last night as result of the
storm Saturday night and Sunday,
which swept the greater portion of
West Tennessee, North and Central
Mississippi, Northern Alabama and
Eastern Arkansas, there has been no
further loss of life. Telegraphic COM
munication is gradually being resum-
ed, but railroad traffic is greatly inn
peded and in many instances complete
ly demoralized. The rain continues to
fall, but the volume is greatly dimin-
ished. Reports from the Western Sec
tion of Tennessee show that the rail-
roads have suffered greater damage
than ever before in their history. The
Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis,
the Mobile e Ohio the Southern and
the Illinois Central are unable to oper-
ate trains at all through Jackson,
Tenn. Tracks have been washed out
for long stretches, bridges are down,
and in some places the water is stand
ing over the track for miles, making
1t an utter impossibility to operate
trains.
Farmers have suffered great loss
both In crops and live stock. It Is
impossible at present to estimate the
total damage done by the wind and
rain. but 1t will amount well into the
hundreds of thousands Of dollars.

SERIOUS CHARGE
Dan Callahan, Accused of Criminal As
sauIt, Jailed at Pulaski.

PULASKI, Tenn, Nov 15.-Dan
Callahan, of this place, was jailed be-
tween midnight and day by the officials
at Columbia, on a charge of attempt
ed criminal assault on Miss Nellie Nor
ton, girl of IA years, at his home here
about dark yesterday.
The girl, who is well connected here,
lives with her family of brothers and
sisters, her parents being dead. Last
evening she went to the Callahan
home, nearby, to get the evening sup
ply of milk. Tom Callahan and his
wife were absent and his son, Dan
Callahan, was there. He had been
hunting earlier in the day and had
been drinking heavily. When she en-
tered the house, it is said the door was
locked on her, and the assault made.
Her screams aroused a negro woman,
who did the milking for the family,
and she ran into the house, whereupon
the girl escaped and ran home much
excited, screaming and in tears, with
her clothing much disheveled and torn.
Ed Morton, an elder brother of the
girl, later procured a warrant for Cal
lahan, and Sheriff Holt having made
vain search here, notified the Column
bia officers, who kept watch on all
passing trains, with the result that
Callahan was taken from a freight
train about o'clock, and held to await
the orders of the Giles County Sher-
if.
Dan Callahan is the son of Tom Cal
lahan, who has been for long time in
the employment Of the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad Company. Young
Callahan is about 20 years old. His
trial has not yet been set.

BARRED FROM
FRANCE
AMERICAN HAM, BACON, CANNED
PORK AND THE LIKE.
Because of United States Inspection
Regulations Having Eliminated
the Microscopic Examination.

PARIS, Nov. 2O-The elimination
of the microscopic examination OF
pork from the new American inspec-
ton regulation have resulted in a
preliminary decision by the French
customs authorities barring American
ham, bacon, canned pork, etc.
After long diplomatic negotiations
several years ago France agreed to
admit American pork on a Government
certificate that it had been micro
scopically examined and found sound.
When, therefore, the new regula-
lions, instituted after the packing dis
closures, and under which the first
shipments are now on their way to
French ports, were submitted to the
authorities here, they ruled that they
did not comply with the old agree
ment, and prompt measures were in
stituted to secure their reversal and
if possible to avoid prolonged un-
pleasant diplomatic negotiations.
Ambassador Mccormick, under in
structions from Washington, made en-
ergetic representations to the Foreign
Office, pointing out that, while the mi
croscopic examination had been elimi-
mated, the new meat inspection was
more rigorous and more efficient.
Foreign Minister Pichon promised
to give the matter immediate atten-
ton, but the question must naturally
first be decided by the Finance and
Agricultural Departments.
Fortunately, a slight delay will not
cause great material loss, as the pork
importations to France are compare
lively small, the trade never having
recovered from the blow it received
when American pork was originally
excluded from France.

SPIRIT OF STUDENTS
Causes Closing of the Russian Military
Academy of Medicine.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 15.-At
a late hour tonight Gen. Rudiger, Min
lister of War; issued an order closing
the Military Academy of Medicine.
This step is taken on account of the
revolutionary agitation going on with
in the academy which is held to be
dangerous, and the independent spirit
which reigns among the students,
majority of whom protested to be So
cial Democrats or Social Revolution
lists. Conditions at the academy for
some time past have been the cause
of considerable concern to the military
authorities, who feared that the sur
geons in the army might become per-
meated with this revolutionary ten
dency.
