CALLS IT. NONSENSE
President Roosevelt So Character.
izes Third Term Talk.
THINKS HE HAS SAID ENOUGH

Not Likely That Any Formal State
ment VIII Be Issued Relterating His
Position on the Subject of His Re-
nomination In 1908.
Washington, May 4. -- President
Roosevelt charaSterizes as absolute
nonsense" the talk of nominating and
electing him for d third term.
Mr.. Roosevelt has talked freely with
several of the callers at the White
House on this subject. He made it
plain, however, that he will not come
out in any formal statement on the
subject of third term He considers
that what he said Immediately follow
ing the election in 1904 and ghat he
has said subsequently should suffice.
He thinks he should be taken at his
word and let 1t go at that.
In a way the agitation for third
term is Of considerable advantage to
him at the present time as political
asset and will aid him in keeping con-
troll of his campaign to force the adop-
tion of his policies ct the next conven-
tion 1t will also continue to keep him
as the dominating influence In the Re-
publican party and give him q strong
leverage in naming his successor and
debating the next party platform.
Those who we're present when ne
talked about the third term" senti-
ment and stated that from his stand
point it would be absolute nonsense"
for him to give it any encouragement
were convinced that he meant every
word ne said and that he would refuse
the nomination If 1t were rendered
him by the national convention.

MAGAZINE BLOWS Up
Great Destruction Of Life and
Property Ct Canton, China.
BODIES BADLY MUTiLATED

Many Corpses Taken From the Ruined
Buildings capitated-Number of
important Mercantile Concerns Com
pietey Demolished.
Hongkong, May 4.-Very great de-
struction Of life and property was
caused at Canton by the explosion Of
q gunpowder magazine. Twentyone
bodies already have been recovered
from the ruins. Hundreds Of persons
were injured Fifteen buildings were
razed to the ground and over 100 were
seriously wrecked. A section 200 feet
long from the massive city wall was
thrown down. The historical nine
story pagoda escaped with slight in
iuries. The officials and stats OF the
hospitals are doing their best to sue
cor the sufferers.
In the Shamien suburb. where thN
foreigners live, @ terrific shock was
caused by the explosion, but the resi-
dents were unharmed.
- Some idea of the force Of the explo-
sion may be gathered from the fact
that the roofs Of houses a mile distant
from the exploding magazine were
blown OF.
A number of important Chinese and
foreign mercantile establishments
were completely demolished.
The bodies recovered from the ruins
in the vicinity Of the magazine were
shockingly mutllated. Many corpses
of men and women were without
heads.
The officer in charge of the maga
zine was among those killed and when
his body was recovered a pipe was
found ciutched In his hand, which sug
gests the possible cause of the expio
sion. The financial losses are enor
nous.

REFUSE PAYMENT.
Pikeville Citizens Dissatisfied
With Work on Courthouse.

Pikeville citizens are verv much up
set over the building of their new
court house, which was to be built of
concrete at an expense of $14, 791.
Last week the county court refused
to pay the contractors, the Falls City
Construction company, of Louisville,
KY, seven thousand dollars, alleged to
be due them, claiming the work detic-
lent in construction. Criticism is
made of the quality of the cement
blocks, which compose the first story,
now built, and special committee,
composed of John Myers, J. r. Col
lier, r. B. Schoolfield and |. N.
Swofford, took some specimens Of the
sand, cement, brick and gravel in use
for making the cement blocks, to Chat
tanooga for inspection by experts, who
rendered adverse opinion as to theil
fitness for the purpose. Hence the bont
of contention is increased, and the cit
liens are now pursuaded that $14, 1871
is too much money to pay for the class
of building now being erected.
Some of the citizens there think thai
if Bledsoe county stone was goot
enough to be taken to Nashville tC
build mangnificent public buildings, i
is good enough to use in the construc
tion of a court house for them.
