BEFORE DAY CLUBS ARE
SUBJECT OF A SERMON.
An Atlanta Negro Minister On the
StrtesbOrO Affair.

Atlanta, Sept. 11.-Rev. H. H. Proc
tor. prominent negro minister of this
city. discussed mob violence and Be
fore Day" clubs in his sermon tonight
Referring to the Statesboro affair, he
said:
with regard to the Statesboro
tragedy we feel a sense of shame
over the crime that led up to it, and
sense of injustice over the treat
ment the condemned men received. We
pray that the outcome of the investiga-
ton may preserve the honor of the
state and that punishment shall be so
shaped that the recurrence of these
things shall be prevented"
Appealing to the members of his race
to maintain law and order, he said:
Never despair. Our race is under
going persecution, but right here in
the South we have many friends who
have never bowed the knee to Baal.
We must maintain law and order. To
break the righteous law of the state
is to break the law of God. No mat
ter how sorely we may be tempted, we
should never resort to mob violence.
Mob violence is anarchy. l cannot be-
lieve there is any extended movement
amongst this race in what has been
called Before Day clubs, movements
organized for lawlessness; if there be,
we urged those uniting in such move
ments to abstain from that and every
other form of violence"
Il know of no better proof that can
come of this Christening than the
knowledge that we must work out our
own salvation. The gospel of the
progress of our own race lies in these
things: First, is never to despair;
second, is to maintain law and order
Every one of you who puts an honest
dollar in the bank contributes so much
to the solution of the race problem. If
we follow the gospel of race progress
we shall turn prejudice away from us
by making it unreasonable"

EVENTS IN THE EAST.

What little news was received
Sunday from the Manchurian thea
ter of war indicates the almost en-
tire suspension of active operations
bv both Russians and japanese.
The last dispatch from Mukden
was filed by correspondent of the
Associated Press Sunday evening.
1t said that all was quiet in that
region. and the understanding was
that the main force of the Japa-
nese has retired to Yentai, on the
railroad, about ten miles northeast
of Lao Yang.
Kuropatkin briefly reports that
there was no fighting Saturday, ex-
cept small patrol encounters.

HIGGINS OR WOODRUFF
May BE Nominated for Governor of
New York.

Saratoga. N. Y, Sept. 11.-This has
been a day of informal conferences
among the Republican leaders gather
ed here in advance of the State Con-
vention called for Wednesday, noon.
At a late hour tonight there seems to
be a general impression that there will
be no contest in the convention over
the nomination for Governor; that the
matter will be practically settled i'll
conference, not later than Tuesday
night.
Gov. Odell and Senator elatt had a
long talk this morning, went driving
together this afternoon and %1re to-
gether at a dinner at Saratoga Lake
tonight. After the morning con-
ference, Gov. Odell said:
senator Platt and / have had an
extended talk over the general situation
and are agreed that the business of
this convention is to nominate for
Governor the strongest possible candi-
date. At this hour it appears that
the question of nominee has practical
ly narrowed down to Mr.. Woodruff
and Lieut.. Gov. Higgins as the two
men having behind them the most SEN
timent. However, we need to have
conference with men from all parts Of
the state before we can know how the
sentiment of the Republicans OF the
state really stands in the matter. Pos
sbly we may find man stronger than
either of these two"
The Governor refused to express
any preference between Messrs. Hig-
gins and Woodruff
Il am for the nomination of Wood
ruff" said Senator Plat, land as Gov.
Odell tells me he has no candidate, 1
should think there was a good chance
of Mr. Woodruff's nomination by the
convention"

DEMOCRATS OF MAINE
HAVE BUT ONE HOPE.
That Is That the Republican PIur-
aIity May he Less Than in 1900.


aIity May He Less Than in 1900.
Portland, Me-, Sept. lit is con
ceded by all parties that Maine in to-
morrow's biennial election will elect
publican candidate for governor; re-
turn the present Republican delega-
ton to Congress; choose a large ma
jority of the Republican candidates
for the Legislature, and select Repub-
lican sheriffs in all sixteen counties.
AS in Vermont last week, the only
difference Of opinion regarding the out
come, is the size of the plurality for
governor. The Republicans claim from
$4,000 to 10000 plurality for Cobb. The
than 1885, the plurality of 1900, will
be a victory for them.
The campaign has been brief brisk
and broad. 1t did not begin until the
last day of August. Both parties had
the benefit of speakers of national
prominence, while rallies were held in
every county. all the cities and a large
number of the towns.
Although these rallies, as a rule.
were poorly attended, the party man
ayers confidently believe that the vot-
ers have kept well informed of the is
sues raised, and with good weather a
large vote is anticipated.
The candidates opposed to Mr.. Cobb
for governor are:
Cyrus w. Davis of Waterville, Dem
ocrat.
Nathan F. Woodbury. of Auburn.
Prohibition.
Wilbur G. Hapgood of Scowhegan,
Socialist.
The Republican pluralities for gov
ernor in the past six elections were as
follows: 1892. 12,5OS; 1894, 3S,917; 1896.

THE FIGHTING GOES ON
ABOUT PORT ARTHUR.
Russians Shelled and Destroyed
Japanese Trenches.

here from Port Arthur, the Russians
On Sept. 4, shelled the japanese COW
cred trenches in front of Pail Chuang
and destroyed them.
Everything was quiet along the en-
tire line during the night of Sept 4,
but in the morning it was seen that
the japanese Outposts had crept closer
to the Russian lines.
One incident of the recent lombard
ing of Port Arthur was the striking of
the roof of a hospital by a Japanese
shell. The Japanese fire was drawn
to the hospital by the placing near it
by the Russians, of beacon signals.
One small Russian scouting party
succeeded in creeping close to the Jap
anese entertainments on Corner noun
tain, but the barking of dogs gave the
alarm and prevented a further ad-
vance. japanese reserves poured into

sian battery landed in the trench and
killed many of the Japanese soldiers
and the remainder retired This en-
abled the Russians to occupy the
trench until dawn. The trench evil
GENTLY was unimportant, for the Jap
anese made no attempt to retake it,
and the Russian scouts withdrew
shortly after daybreak.
On Sept. g. a small body Of Japanese
troops captured some outpost trenches
on High Hill, which is not far from
Corner mountain, but upon the ap-
proach of a Russian detachment they
evacuated this position without fight
ing.
The Port Arthur Novikrai. in "a re-
cent issue, declares that Japanese
colonel has been executed because he
failed to occupy a certain position on
Corner Hill within a specified time.
In it's issue of Sept. 2, the same pa
per says that a Japanese torpedo boat
struck a mine IA miles southeast of the
harfbor and sank, and that on the day
after this occurrence, the Japanese
cruiser Itsukushima also was damaged
