The 8outh Threatened.
“The attitude of the Republican par
ty and Itu candidate for president
threatens tho peace end tranquility of
a great section of the nation, the sec
tion known as the South. Thla sec
tion was already confronted with a se
rious problem, the presence of eight
million negroes, the large majority of
whom need direction lt> their dnlly
walks of life from their whtto neigh

count of tho superior qualities of the

as well ns disorganise the relations un
der which the agricultural and com
mercial growth of the South must take

CHEFOO, Oct. 3. 2:$0 p. m.—An offi
cial report from Gen. Htoeasol, dated
September 28, reached Chefoo today,
confirming a previous report of the re
pulse of the Japanese attack on Port
Arthur which began September 19 and
ended September 22. The fighting was
of on extremely severe character.
Japanese having retired. Gen. Stoessol
Issued tho following proclamation:
“Glory! Thanks to God! Glory to
our heroic garrison! Glory to Illmann.
Sychaff and Foggoraky—heroes all.
Thanks to our valiant volunteers who
routed tho enemy from tho tranche*,
destroying them. God ha* permitted
us to repulse tho enemy. Praise -to
God.”
Tho volunteers referred to by Gen.
Btoesser In tho proclamation were
mndo of regular* called upon to tnke
high hill which had been captured by
the Japanese.
From seinl-offlclnl sources
learned that the nttnek began
19th along tho whole line nnd lnated
four days, various position* changing
hundn many times.
The high hill mentioned was n very
Important position to the Russlnns.
The Japanese attacked repeatedly, day
and night, finally occupying the post
tlon on the night of Heptomber 22 after
(differing very severe losses. Tho c.t
tempt to retako this hill being ex
tremely hazardous, Gen. Rtoossel re
fused to Issue tho order, but called for
volunteers. Everybody called upon re
nponded. whereupon a requisite hum
ber of men were selected. Lieut. Pog-
gorsky and Cnpt. Sychaff leading them.
Soldiers and officers alike curried gren
ades (explosive shells weighing from
two to six pounds, which are thrown
by hand), and with these they ut
talked the Jupnnese temporary fortt
flcuttons and drove the latter from all
of their positions. Several mines w.*re
exploded during tho general battle,
causing severe losses. The Russians
calculate that the total Japanese losses
for the four days' fighting reach 20,000
men.
Armies Aro Resting.
ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 3.t-5:55 p.
m.—Emperor Nicholas returned to St.
Petersburg today from the south and
the Associated Press hears on very
high authority that the appointment of
a comm&nder-fn-chlef will be an
nounced within forty-eight hours.
While General Kuropatkin’B friends
still Insist that he will be appointed,
members of the emperor’s entourage
express no doubt that Grand Duke
Nicholas Nicholatevltch will be chosen.
The official advices from the front
today report that nil Is quiet along
the whole line of the opposing armies.
A slight Japanese movement has been
observed at Fengtalpu Pass, about six
teen miles southeast of Mukden, but
there has been no collision. The war
office apparently does not anticipate
fighting on a large scale in the Im
mediate future. The principal cauno
of alarm nt the war office is occa
sioned by the lack of definite Infor
mation regarding the exact where
abouts of Field Marshal Oyama's right.
The Russian scouts have lost touch
with General Kurokl’s main army
which may give Increasing Importance
to the Hanking movement west under
General Oku, which hitherto has been
regarded ns a feint for the real turn
ing movement to strike at General
Kuropatkln’s line of communications
from the east. It also may contain
the potentialities of a big surprise.
Ten days ago Kuropatkln nnd the wai
office were convinced that the Japa
nese were concentrating at Slanschan,
nnd that an iminedlute advance was
Imminent in force.
Accordingly the Russlnns fell back
from the posse* of the Da mountain
range without offering resistance. But
after several days they suddenly dis
covered that the Japanese were not
pressing forward and thereupon the
Russian scouts pushed out to ascertain
the cause. They penetrated an far i s
Slanschan and Slaodyr, bringing back
the startling intelligence that not more
thnn a brigade of troops was there.
This forthwith was followed up by Im
portant cavalry movement* and the re-
occupatlon of the Da range passes, but
Kuropatkln’s main body was not lo
cated. There were no indications, how
ever, that he had succeeded In reaching
a position further eastward whence he
could make a pivotal movement against
the railroad, and consequently It was
concluded that his main force must
still be between the Yentni mines and
Benschu, five miles east of Yentai sta
tion. In a word, the present ndvie**
Indicate that the Japanese preparation*
are being mode more slowly thnn sup
posed. Kuropatkln’s plnn* nre care
fully guarded. While he Is disposing
his forces to take advantage of any
situation thnt may offer, the bent
opinion Is that he will not accept a
general engagement but will wiUidraw
to Tie Pass, where the bulk of the
army is massed.

Hakharoff announcing thnt the Jap

poets at Kengtlapu, sixteen miles
southeast of Mukden. Elsewhere, he
adds, there are no developments.
BOSTON, Maas., Oct 3.—Secretary
of State John Hay, representing the
United States of America, spoke the
word of welcome this afternoon to the
delegates to the international peace
congress, who assembled here for the
first formal meeting of the thirteenth
annual convention.
Secretary Hay promised the admin
istration’s support, so far ak practica
ble, to the principle of the arbitration
of such questions as may not be settled
through diplomatic negotiations, and
expressed confidence that at no distant
day the attention of the nations might
be brought to a project looking toward
the return of peace in the far Eust.
Mayor Collins said that no word of
his was necessary to welcome peace
delegates to Boston for Boston was the
home of peace. He said If he were to
paraphrase a Bible text to suit the oc
casion It would be this: “Blessed are
the peacemakers, for they shall see
God; damned be the warmakers, for
they shall see tho devil.”

Weavers Are Defiant.
FALL RIVER, Mass., Oct. $.—Efforts
to bring about peace between the cot
ton manufacturers and their employes
were given a slight setback today
when 1,200 striking Weavers held a
mass meeting and by a unanimous vote
decided not to return to work even
If the notices ordering a 12% reduc
tion in wages, the cause of the strike,
were taken down, unless assurances
were given that no more than ellght
looms would be operated by one weav
er. The weavers maintain that If
they are obliged to attend to more
than that number of looms their pay
Is materially reduced.

CHEFOO, Oct. t, 3:10 p. m.-A pri
vate letter received here today from
Port Arthur, dated September 21. give*
further details of the fighting from
September 1ft to September 2t. The
attack begun with a heavy bombard
ment directed against nearly all tho
Russian outposts and many of the
main forts. The shelling of the re
doubts protecting the water supply of
Port Arthur was tremendous. Night
fell September 1ft found the water
works redoubts reduced to mere heaps
of debris. The garrisons of the re
doubts thereupon retreated safely to
the main fortifications under ths pover
of darkness. k
At 4 o’clock the same afternoon the
Japanese assault on “High Hill” began.
The Japanese plan of attack never va
ried. First, a bombardment and then
an assault, and when repulsed a bom
bardment again, nnd then another as
sault. The desperate determination of
the Japanese to capture this position
amounted to fanaticism, their efforts
never ceasing during four days. One

At the meeting of the .MadOn Cham
ber of Commerce this afternoon there
will be some action taken in regard to
an Invitation for the purpose of secur
ing the meeting of the International
Cotton Spinners for Macon In the event
of their coming to tho South as hns
been proposed by the Manufacturer’s
Record.
Many letters favoring the coming of
the foreign spinners to the South have
been written nnd the request has been
made urgent. No city will be more anx
ious to secure this convention than
Macon and no city In the South' will be
more capable of taking care of such’ a
convention.
It is generally known that Macon
handles 250,000 bales of the fleecy sta
ple annually and a very large portion
of the ninety millions of dollors earned
for Georgia cotton is handled by the
business establishment* of Macon.
The matter will be taken up In Ma
con nnd all possible effort will be made
to get tho convention of International
Spinners. There Is now little doubt
thnt such a meeting will be held at
some .point In the cotton belt ahd
Georgia. It Is thought, will have very
good opportunity to secure the conven
tion. It has been repeatedly shown
that Macon Is the most Important In
land cotton market in the state. It Is
centrally located nnd Is at the head of
the fertile plateau region which ex
tends to the Gulf of Mexico nnd the
Atlantic ocean. It 1* a great railroad
center and can be Justly termed an
agricultural metropolis. •
The Macon Chamber of Commerce
will take some Action at the meeting to
be held this afternoon and It will be
shown In the communications to be
forwarded that Macon Is 'directly In
the center of the cotton belt of this
state nnd Immediate section. Fully as
much Interest will be taken In the ef
fort to bring the foreign spinners to
Mscon n* Is being taken in Savannah
and New Orleans. Mnny Southern cit
ies will he especially anxious to have
the proposed meeting of the Interna
tional 8plnner*.
Mr. L. P. Hlllyer. cashier of the
American National Bank of this city,
Introduced a resolution Inviting the
foreign cotton spinners to the South at
the New York gathering of Southern
Bankers some time ago and Hon. Har-
vle Jordan has also written and extend
ed a cordial Invitation to the British
spinners to visit the South.
Mr. Hlllyer write* to the Manufac
turers’ Record as follows:
“I wish to congratulate you on the
splendid efforts you have made nnd are
making to get the English spinners to
visit the South. The work which you
are about to accomplish will. In my
opinion, put the whole South under
lasting obligations to you.”
Hon. Harvie Jordan writes to this
paper:
I would be pleased to have you add
my cordial Invitation to the British
spinners to visit this country. It they
should accept the invitation extended
ery much trust I shall have the
pleasure of meeting with them during
their visit South. I would regard their
visit to us a matter of very great Im
portance to the future cotton interests
of the South.”

has the following to say concerning

"Professor Patterson stated that
everything possible had been done to

but that they refused all offers of set

a proposition but that the Thanksgiv
