Japan
WarshIps Sail for Seizure of
Vessel Not the Only Issue Be-
tween the Heathen.

Toxic, March 9.-This city is in a fe-
yer of excitement today over the report
that the cruiser Chiyoda hurriedly left
port last night for an unknown destina-
ton. 1t is known that Premier Saiongi
and Foreign Minister Hayashi are not
satisfied with China's apology for haul
ing down the flag on the Tatsu Maru
and her promise to punish the Chinese
officials responsible, and are insisting on
the immediate release of the vessel.
1t is also known that the Mikado's
Government is impatient at the dilatory
tactics of the Pekin authorities, and it
is not thought improbable that the
Chiyoda was joined outside the harbor
by number of vessels attached to the
first cruiser squadron and sailed directly
for Canton River. One serious phase of
the situation, which not even the restor-
alton of the Tatsu Maru will remedy, is
the assertion of Baron Hayashi that the
hauling down of the Japanese flag and
the raising of the Chinese flag by the
Chinese was not caused by misunder-
standing of orders. Other matters
which have caused strained relations
between Japan and China, a boundary
dispute, the Tsin Mintun Railway, the
North Manchurian customs and the tel
graph question, are by no means set
tied. Added to these is the aggressive
attitude of Japan in regard to the post
al privileges In China in Manchuria. In
her position in this Japan is backed by
Russia, as result of a secret compact
made within the past year.
Well informed persons say they would
not be surprised to learn that the Japa-
nese war vessels had suddenly appeared
In the Canton River and taken the Tatsu
Mura under their protection. China has
no large vessels of war in the river, and
the small river gunboats would be utter
ly helpless should the Japanese decide
on energetic measures to release the
Tatsu Maru.

til after Thaw was sent to Matteawar
that he was told of his wife's alleged
conduct while he waited in prison be-
tween his first and second trials.
1t was feared that revelation of such
character would excite him to further
outoursts Of madness. But after the
trial was over hints, and innuendoes
that had worried Thaw began to take
shape IN alleged statements of fact. He
heard stories of midnight suppers. of

cry and Chinatown, of Summing adven-
lures, yachting trips and a Journey

mer.
BY degrees his mother laid such state

On the occasion of Evelyn's last visit to

madness leaped to him again, and, it is

ped her throat. Dan O'Reilly is a big
man, but it required all his strength and
the added strength of keeper to prv

The circuit court was engaged last

This was damage suit brought by VIM.

and the defendant was represented by
Henry & Graham and S. D. May. A
verdict for IS, 900 was given the plant
III by the jury. Counsel for defendant
made a motion to set aside the verdict,

evidence; but the court has not vet dis
posed of the motion.

Our High School.

The question of having a new High
school building and of making the towr
OF Tazewell separate school district is
now being actively agitated.
We have long been of the opinion that
the town should be a separate scboo'
district and that the High School ought
to be public free school in fact and
not in name.
Upon the question of erecting a new
building our opinion Is now similarly
positive. The present buildings are en-
tirely inadequate for the proper conduct
OF school such as Tazewell is able tn
and should have. But if this were not
SO, the opinion is now general that the
main building is not only unsafe but
absolutely dangerous. This conclusion
has been reached after the building has
been examined by capable and honest
builders. Most of the patrons are now
In constant apprehension of danger to
their children while they are attending
school,
The town council should take imme-
date steps to have the town made a
separate school district; and to have a
handsome, safe and comfortable. new
building built,

MISSIONARY INSTITUTE.

The Missionary Institute of the Taze-
well District of the Methodist church
began on last Tuesday evening with an
address by Rev. p. l.. Cobb on the Re-
public of Mexico. The speaker gave a
brief review of the history of the coun-
try with view of present political.
social and religious conditions.
The session was called to order on
Wednesday morning by the presiding
elder, Rev. C. w. Kelly. w. L. Sor-
reil was elected secretary. The follow
ing ministers were present: L. M.
Cartright, E. L. Arlington, N. Raw
Cartright, J. R. King, ]. M. Maiden. ].
b. Ely, H. B. Johnson, ]. w. Stuart
b. c. Wise, w. M. Patty and C. C.
Rector. The following visitors were
present: Revs. J. w. RAIDER. P. L.
Cobb, J. E. Wolfe and Octavius Neyros.
The last named is an Italian missionary
in the Bluefeld District.
The Wednesday morning session was
devoted to consideration of the for
elgn fields occupied by the Southern
Methodist Church and the cultivation of
the missionary spirit in the Sunday
School.
In the afternoon the necessity of dis
seminating missionary information was
stressed and the need of larger contrib
utions and more trained workers for the
helds was emphasized. Mr.. Neyros
made very impressive address at 8
O'Clock, giving an account of his CONVEX
sion IN Rome and his evangelistic eff
forts in his home land and in this coun-
try. He is man of broad scholarship
and unusual Christian zeal, and his la
oors in the coal fields will doubtless
bring large results.

One of the most attractive features
oil the Missionary Institute now being
held in the Methodist church at this
place was the address of Rev. ]. B. Ely.
which was delivered last night. He
chose for his subject, ''The Gospel. -
Notwithstanding the very inclement
weather large audience was present
and most heartily enjoyed the address.
Rev. Ely is young man, but promises
TO become a very bright light in the
Church. He is a finished and logical
speaker, and though suffering from de-
fectlve vision, has become a splendid
scholar, his attainments exciting the
wonder of all who hear him.
