Now that President Roosevelt has
j received from the mikado of Jriiati

JAPS PREPARE
FOR A BATTLE.
Japanese Troops Dissatisfied
With the Peace
Agreement.
Lidziupndze, Manchuria, Sept.
4, 3 p. m. The Japanese are con¬
tinuing preparations for a battle,
This has caused astonishment.,
coming at the moment when the
peace treaty is on the eve of being
signed at Portsmouth.
The Russian advance posts re¬
port that the Japanese troops are
very much dissatisfied with the
peace agreement.
The terms of peace are the sub¬
ject of discussion everywhere, In
the Russian army the prevailing
spirit is one of satisfaction, and
even- of lively rejoicing, though
general confidence is expressed
that the Russian troops would be
victorious if they had to fight
another battle. The feeling of
many of the officers may be sum¬
med up in the words of an eminent
commander:
“As a soldier, 1 am greatly
chagrilined, but as a citizen, I
rejoice at the conclusion of pence.’.'
Three thousand Japanese, who
on Aug. 27 descended on Port
Dckastries (.opposite the Island of
Sakhalin and sixty miles north-
we of the Sakhalin town of
Ah - androvskj set fire ton grass
covered steppe. The conflagration
took on serious proportion ■-.
JOE Ifl. HALL SPEAKS
ON GOVERNORSHIP.
Columbus. Ga., Sept. 4. Ho;..
Joseph H. Hall, of Bibb, was
among the speakers at the Labor
Day exercises here today. He
was heard bv w a large ’ audience,
which apfilauded frequently. ,
Mr. Hull said a friend who
\jantcd him to run for governor
said it would not do for him to
run and be defeated, that it would
be too severe a blow to lit.s politi¬
cal prospects.
“The possibility of defeat and
any effect that it might have upon
my future political career would
be the Very last thing l would
consider in deciding the. matter,”
Mr. Hall said, adding that he was
often accused of being extreme,
but that he was the enemy of
neither labor nor capital.
Turning and pointing to G.
Gunby Jordan, president of the
Eagle and Phenix mills, a land
company and two banks, who oc¬
cupied a seat on the stage, lie said:
“There sits a man who if I had it
in my power 1 would make gov¬
ernor of Georgia because he
couldn’t do injustice to any man
with the heart that 1 know lie has.”
In his speech Mr. Hall said: “1
have heard a great man so called,
who is a candidate for governor,
appeal to the prejudice of the
whites against the negro and con¬
gratulate the legislature upon dis¬
banding the negro military com¬
panies. 1 would never vote for .t
man for governor who would con¬
gratulate a legislature upon a thing
like this.”
Mr. Hall was asked by
correspondent if he would be a
candidate for governor. He said
that ho could not say. He
that he had the matter under
sideration, but did not know
he would come to a definite
clusion in regard to entering
race.
