St. Petersburg, By Cable.?While Emperor Nicholas, whose word is final, still declines to abandon the prosecution of the war, and the government maintains its ability to continue the conflict. It can be authoritatively stated that powerful influences, including several of the Emperor's own ministers, are now strongly urging that the time has come to indicate to Japan Russia's desire for peace upon a reasonable basis. Should Japan then attempt to impose too onerous conditions, these influences argue that In view of the universal wish to see the bloody conflict ended, Russia's position will be strengthened abroad by the alienation of sympathy from Japan, and the situation improved at yhome when the n?.tion is mat.. ' to understand that the Emperor's pacific proposals have been met with impossible terms. The Minister of War v ?*ys: t "Russia has a hard task, fighting L the war against such adversaries, f 6,000 miles from home, and I contend that she can make a dignified peace. ^ without glory, but not without honor. ;?* As the victor on land and sea. Japan i can afford to remember, as Bismarck f did at the conclusion of the AustroB Prussian war, that two countries which must live through the long future as neighbors may need each other's friendship. Japan may consider the time propitious, on account ? of *the sftuation in European Russia, to try and crush us. Suppose, for the f sake of argument, she succeeded in finally forcing a humiliating peace, it would not be more than an armed truce. Russia is too big and powerfui to retire permanently frcm the HB^-fiebJ. The clouds at home eventually I^^HkriQ^roll away.

Tokio, By Cable.?Beyond the general retirement of the Russian along the railway northward, little is known here of the details of the past three days' events in Manchuria. Various reports of the number of additional Russian prisoners captured are in circulation. One estimate is 20,000. It is impossible to confirm the reports. There is much speculation over the extent of the Russian retirement. Harbi? is regarded as a logical base, but it is suggested that they may attempt to hold that Kirin line. The country between Kia.vaun and Sungari is inhospitable. Formerly the conservaf ve element in high councils of Japan favored setting a limit to the Manchurian advance. It opopsed advancing to Harbin, but the results of the victory at Mukden are removing opposite and the bulk of opposition and conservative judgment now favors pressing advantages and carrying the war to tne utmost limits possible. Tokio Celebrates Victory. Tokio, By Cable.?Thirty thousand persons went to Mibiya Pass to attend exercises commemorative of the Japanese victory at Mukden.

W& \ KEBUILDING OIPHANAJI Three New Buildings Now ir> Course of Construction. Clinton. Special.?When the Thornwell Orphanage lost two of its very best buildings by fire last November, it looked as if the crown oL^lory of tne institution nau aepariea* out uie generous aid of the good petj^'e of this and adjoining States entirely relieved the immediate pressure in the way of bedding, provisions and other property lost, and the treasurer of the building fund was promptly provided with funds wherewith to begin work. And on the day following the first rebuilding work was begun. Three buildings will take the place of the two that were burned. The first to be completed will be the Eldridge Fowler cottage and kitchen. This is a large brick building, its outside measures being 70 by 96 feet, costing a little above $3,000. It will be used for the dwelling for the young girls in their monthly turns at cooking; it will be presided over by the matron, and several children will be permanent residents in it. It contains also the store room, the dairy, the kitchen and the distributing room. As there will be 12 cottages, widely separated from each other there arose immediately the problem as to the best way , of provisioning the children. The former plan was the assembling of all in one dining room. The institution has now outgrown the old hall. It was, therefore, thought best to have a seperate kitchen, but to arrange for dining rooms in each cottage, distributing the provision at each meal. The plan is working well so far and will be given several years' trial. The Eldrige Fowler cottage will be in use in a few weeks. The second building taken hold of was the Memorial Hall. This building was of granite. After careful examination, it was found that a large part of the walls could be used. Much of it had to be taken down, but all has been rebuilt on the old lines and in the course of six weeks it will be again in use, not as heretofore for the kitchen and dining room, but rather as a place to feed the mind, for the higher classes of the school will be taught in it. To Develop Cherokee Shoals. Anderson, Special.?It is probable that a company will be formdlly organized during the spring for the development of the fine water power at Cherokee shoals on Savannah rivtr. The preliminary arrangements have been made, and it is not thought that there will be any great difficulty Id carrying the plans of the promoters through. Cherokee shoals are situated about three miles from Calhoun Falls on the Seaboard railway, and form but one of the many undeveloped water powers along the whole course of Savannah river almost down to Augusta. The purpose of the promoters is to develop the water power for the use of manufacturing plants in both States. They do not Intend to engage in manufacturing themselves, but simply to furnish power to others. It is estimated by the engineers that the shoals will furnish between 6,000 aud 8,000 horse power. Notifies Delinquents. The office of the comptroller general is busy making up lists of delinquents who have not complied with the law in reference to the filing of reports in the franchise tax matter. There are many delinquents, and the lists when prepared will be sent to the auditors of the respective counties. The names of these corporations were secured from the books in the office of the secretary of state and from the acts of the legislature for the last 15 years. In Charleston county the names of delinquent corporations will fill 10 typewritten pages. In other counties there are many companies which may be held for the penalty of $500 for failure to comply with the law. Comptroller General Jones deposited $25,000 received from this franchise tax law. This does not include the checks from railroads and from a number of smaller corporations. Indeed there will be about three times this amount yet to be paid, as the final date for payment is April 1. Thanks Miss Hubbard. Anderson.

The rail were twisted and the cross-ties whip ped from their beds in the ballest an sent scorched and charred many yard away. The big fan that furnished ai in the mine was so damaged that 1 was several hours before it could h started again. After considerable time, the grea fan was repaired and the power turne on, and it began drawing 100,000 cubl feet of air through the charnel hous each minute. A rescue party was form ed and about 20 men entered the min in search of the bodies of those wh had perished at the first explosion, th men explored the mines for tbre hours, putting up brattices so tha pure air should follow them where ever they went. Finally some of ther came out and reported that the other were too careless in going forwar faster than the good air was bein supplied and carrying at the same tim a "naked" light.
