ALL ARE FOR TEDDY
Such Was the Outlook
at Greensboro.
To-day the Republican Executive Com
mittee Sets the Date and Place
OF the State Convention. Some
Favor Raleigh.
Especial to News and Observer.

Greensboro, N. C, Feb. 4-The meeting
of the Republican State Executive Com
mittee here tomorrow promises to be very
largely attended. Tonight every member
OF the committee from the East is present
and nearly every one from the West. B..
F. Mebane, Of Spray, and ]. T. Wilson, Of
Charlotte, alone being absent. Chairman
Thomas S. Rollins arrived from Washing
ton at midnight. Among prominent mem
hers present are: D. w. Patrick, E. c..
Duncan, II. s. Harkins, Claudius Dockery,
w. T. O'Bnen, w. A Bailey, e. S. Black
burn, W. P. Bynum, Jr., w. A, Bailey,
c. G. Bailey, treasurer, and r. H. Mcneil,
secretary of the committee.
While there is no apparent heat over
the matter there is evident divergence be-
tween the individual expression OF opinion
tonight as to the time of the convention.
By a strange coincidence. almost all the
Eastern members seem to favor as late a
convention as possible. the latest that
could be held under the rules, being May
21st. thirty days prior to the national
convention. Western members appear to
be decided in the opinion that one con.
vention should be held and all State can
didates be nominated then as we'll as Sc
lecting the delegates to the national con-
vention. These advocates of early con-
vention mentioned April 9Th as not bit
too early. Eastern members say they IA
vor that date only with the understand
ing that a convention will be held late
in the summer to nominate State candi-
dates. They think it best. however, to
have only one convention, and this as late
as possible before the national convention.
! When Chairman Rollins arrives it is
presumed the matter will be settled with
out further parley, and it is generally
understood that he favors one convention,
and that just as early in April as it can
| be pulled or Ex-Congressman Black
burn Will introduce resolution tomorrow
endorsing Roosevelt and pledging the State
! to his nomination and indications are fa-
vorable to its unanimous adoption. 1t also
develops tonight that Eastern members
favor Raleigh as the place for holding the
convention. Western members favor
Greensboro. The strong backing for Raj
eigh is surprise to those who had under
stood that a majority had favored Greens,
boro a week ago before Raleigh had been
seriously considered
Among visiting statesmen are: United

ex-Judge Timberlake, John Underwood, OF
Fayetteville; j. Wiley Shook, of North
Carolina; ex-senator Marion Butler, Henry

Other skirmishes occurred between
Cossacks and the rear guard of Gen.
Oku's army at vangenfuchu, about
forty miles north Of Kinchou on the
railroad. Casualties slight and honors
easy.
Later news of the storming of Kin
chou and Nanshan hill shows that the
japanese lost 1890 men in that sue
cess. To lose 1900 men In the taking
Of an outpost may seem at first to be
magnificent, though not war. How
ever, the taking Of the hill seems to
have given the japanese a clear road
to the gates Of Port Arthur, and to
have enabled them to take Dalny end
its fine harbor without a struggle. In
view of these later events, the taking
Of Nanshan hill may turn out, after oil,
to have been as wise as it was cour-
ageous.
The two questions which are most
thoroughly agitating the prophets at
present concern the Russian feet In
Port Arthur and K~uropatkin's report
ed attempt to raise a siege Of that
town.
II the Japs seem about to storm the
line to Port Arthur will the Russian
feet make a run for it? The result Of
this run would be the destruction Of
the Russians, but also the severe Grip
ping Of the Japanese feet, which
would open the way for the Baltic
squadron's appearance in oriental wat
erc. If the Russian ships staid in the

full in trying to devise a plan whereby

the users of automobiles and the people

to obtain a livelihood. The friction.
which is the outgrowth Of recklessness
on the one side and violence On the 9TH
er, has become a serious matter. Espe-
cially in the parts of the city where the
foreign element pr~edominates does the
automobiles find life unsafe.
Some of these people have become SO
embittered against the chauffeurs and
owners of the horseless carriages, who
dash through the streets at ordinance
breaking and lif-e-endangering speed, that
they throw bricks and stones at them
whenever they appear. Mrs. William G.
Gcttschall, wife of the president of the
Port Chester Railroad, had a narrow
escape from death and is still confined
to the hospital, because Of the attack
made upon her husbands machine, in
which she was riding in the East Side
recently. The assailants were Italians.
A few days ago Albert Hilton, son OF
the late Judge Hilton, was struck on the
head with a stone while speeding down
Washington avenue. These are but two
OF many instances showing the dangers

Japanese Sure TO Pay q Tremendoul
Price for Cty's Fall.


Price for Cty's Fall.
The earlier reports OF the battle Of
Kinchau and the storming of the de-
lenses Of Port Arthur were to the effect
that the Japanese had sustained the
appalling loss Of 1900 men killed. The
Russian loss was not known, but was
supposed to be nearly as heavy.
The totals are Still large. but Ii ap-
pears that the japanese loss Is only
about one-fourth that originally report
ed, 1900 killed arc wounded, while the
Russians left 400 dead on the field. The
Russian losses are doubtless not so heavy
as those of the Japanese because they
were fighting behind trenches, while the
japanese were the assaulting party.
The loss is heavy enough, however,
to suggest the desperate nature Of the
contest and establish the reputation Of
the Japanese soldier for cooiness and
courage under fire. In fact, the supe-
riority of the japanese over the Russian
soldier appears to be well demonstrated
He not only overmatches the Russian in
courage, but he fights with greater intel
ligence, greater enthusiasm, and with
a reckless disregard OF the value Of his
own life which makes him a most dan
