St. Petersburg, Juno 29.—1:30 p. m.
—The whole city is awaiting w
breathless interest news from the op
posing armies in southern Manchuria,
grappled in the decisive battle of tie |
campaign. But those fully appreci
ating the almost impassable country
through which the Japanese columns
are advancing and the difficulty of
moving large bodies of troops into
position, hardly expect the battle to
begin in earnest inside of several
days, although admitting that heavy
fighting between the advance forces
may now be in progress. The papers,
with the exception of the army or
gan and the Novoe Vremya, are unan
imously of the opinion that a pitched
battle is certain. The former is si
lent on the subject, especially as Gen
eral Kuropatkin’s movements are
snrouded in mystery. The Novoe |
Vremya says:
"The time for strategy is passed.!
We are now on the eve of tactics.
Not knowing tho exact position of our
forces, we cannot state what Kuro-
patkin intends to do. It is possible
ne may consider it untimely and un
profitable to enter upon a decisive
engagement of ail his forces, in wh
event, while engaging the enemy who
is pouring troops down upon him, he
may retire northward to meet his re
inforcements.”
The tone in both public and official
circles has greatly improved. The
report that Port Arthur squadron ha«
successfully put to sea and that
ship has actually been sunk seems to
have removed the despondency, and
| developments on land and sea are
looked forward to with increase-
cheerfulness.
General Kuropatkin has issued an
army order insisting on the kindest
and most humane treatment of Japa
nese prisoners and wounded notwith
standing the tales of atrocities com
j mitted by the a.Jpanese.

Kirkland Lived Long.
Homerville, Ga., June 29.—J. C
Kirkland, the oldest resident of Ho-
mervillo died Tuesday. He was just
£0 years old, dying on the anniver
sary of his birth.
‘Tncle Jack” as he was familiarly
called was a person unique in his
habits in many ways.
He never ate any chicken in his
life. He never took a dose of medi
cine. He never drank coffee, neither
did he smoke or chew tobacco. He,
however, would take a drink of li
quor when it suited his purpose.
Clinch county was organized from
Ware and Lowndes in 1850 and tin'
first court ever held in tho county was
held in the woods near the residence
of C. H. North, about 1 mile from
DuPont. Uncle Jack was clerk an<
Judge Hansell, who is yet living, was
judge. . After serving awhile as clerk
of the superior court he was after
wards made county treasurer. Af
ter the war he was justice of the
peace for Homer district for 4^ years
and was bailiff of the grand jury near
ly the same length of time.
Before the war in politics he was a
whig, after the war, a Democrat.
