tious Literature.

New York Sept. S.--Russiau officials are
alarmed by the spread of the revolution
airy propaganda among the soldiers, and
have taken drastic measures to stop It,.
The Osvobozhdenie brings the text of
three secret circulars sent to military COM
manders admitting that official docu-
ments had found their way into foreign
papers and that revolutionary literature
was being circulated among the troops
and warning them to take greater precau-
lions to prevent such occurrences.
The urgent nature of these new instruc-
tons may be inferred from the following
extracts:
in order to guard against the diffusion
| of political infection in the ranks an unre-
Taxing watch must be kept upon all letters
received by privates. particularly by those
of them who are Jews. The latter, more
over, shall be forbidden to receive letters
written in Hebrew and if any written in
this language. come to hand they are not
to be passed on to the addresses. but 10

the authorities Of the military corps for
preservation until such time as they may
be required. Any privates In whose pos
session letters in the Hebrew language
may be discovered shall be visited with Sc
verc penalties. A similar course shall be
observed in regard to letters i'll the IAN
guages Of the other non-Russlan peoples.

ABLE TO PAY FOR THE WAR,
And as They Rather Like It, Japs Are
Willing to Go on Fighting.


Toxic, Sept. SIN an interview with
a high official VINO is an expert on the
nations revenues, the assurance was
given that Japan could supply funds
for the war for an indefinite period. It's
annual expenditures on account Of war
will be from 500,000000 to 600, O000 900 yen
($250, 600, 900 to $780, 600, O0O) About half
will be betrayed by increased taxation
and economics, half by domestic and
foreign loans. The Japanese are able
to bear an issue of bonds of from $780,
100000 to $l50000.000, according to the
harvest. The nation is blessed this
year with an extraordinary good har-
vest, about 100000 koku (24.SOOOOO
busheis) of rice above the average of
estimate he based on the fine weather
now prevailing and because September
l. the critical date for the rice crop, had
passed without damage to it.
Continuing, the official said that it
was the policy of the government to
avoid the export of gold and to pur-
chase supplies at home. In pursuance
Of this policy, it was completing a great
iron foundry at Wakomatsu for manu-
| facture of railway iron and similar ma
terials. The government was keeping
in London the gold secured by the
American and British loan Of $50, 0OO 900
for the purpose of preventing any ex-
lCft:On by BRITISH and American flnan-
cierS. He also asserted that Japanese
transportation in this war vas as easy
and cheap as that Of Russia was diff
fcult and expensive. Japan, he said,
could better bear further increased tax
alton that burden the country with a
heavy debt for future payment.
The recent unexpected discovery of
gold mine in Iwate prefecture was
declared by the oftit ial to be extraor-
dinarily fortunate. A mining engineer
expert, who had examined only $50
acres of the gold bearing section, or
about a quarter of the whole. estimated
it's annual gold output at $50, 100000

Huntsville, Ala, Sept. 9.-After set
ting fire to the Jail ana smoking out
the prisoner. while the fire department
was held at bay, the sheriff and his
deputies outwitted, mob estimated at
over 1000 persons lynched Horace
Naples, a negro accused of numbering
John Waldrop. The negro was hanged
on tree in the court house lawn.
This action of the mob was taken
made by Solicitor Earl Pettus and H.
]. Wallace in stirring speeches, in
which law and order were eloquently
pleaded for.
Details of the crime spread throughout
the country in which Waldrop had a
militia which was ordered from Birm-
ingham by Governor Cunningham ar
rived. the mob bad swelled to enormous
proportions. Sle sheriff and his depu-
ties pluckily stood their ground, but
they We're powerless before the mob
pany was called out, but 1t was out
witted by the men who conceived the
idea of smoking out the prisoner
At 1925 o'clock the jail was set on
fire in the rear. A dense smoke spread
through the upper stories and cells of
the building. The fire department was
not allowed to approach within a block
q
with bullets. The crowd on the outside
would allow nobody to enter or
come out until the person of Horace
Naples was surrendered
The sheriff and his guards would not
give in, but in some Manner the negro
got through window and jumped out
Of the building into the crowd He was
caught, a rope thrown around his neck
and taken to the county court house.
While Maple was confessing his crime
and duplicating a white man and two
more negroes, John H. Wallace, jr.. and
Solicitor Earl Pettus made speeches
trying to dissuade the mob. They We're
| hooted down in turn, but finally, While
Solicitor Pettus called on all who were
in favor of the law taking its course to
hold up their hands, about half the big
crowd of several thousand did so.
There was cheering for a moment, but
the men with the rope pulled the negro
away, threw the end OF the rope over
a limb and drew him up. The negro
| was dead IN few minutes.
| A crowd will make an effort to cap

more disorder is feared tonight

PREPARING FOR A LONG WAR.
Japan Said to be Raising an Army for
Next Year.


Toki Sept. THAT Japan is preparing
for long war is evidenced by informa-
ton which comes from a reliable source
that the government is now busily en-
gagged in preparing the territorial army
for active service. The territorial army
may be likencd to the old time general
levy in the United States, and while it
naturally VIII not be as effective as the
army now in the field, it means that next
year Japan will be able to repeat it's feat
of this year and put in the field more men
than Russia is maintaining, II not in
creasing the preponderancs it now has.
Many Of the territorial army are men
who have served with the colors, and
these VIII be Invaluable in drilling and
preparing for active duty those who have
not. The questions relating to the army
and mobilizing of these men have already
been worked out by the general staff, and
should the necessity arise for sending an
other half million men to Manchuria, the
men and their equipment will be ready.
Opinion is divided here as to the outlook
for peace In some quarters it is believed
Russia will ask for terms when Port Ar
thur falls and General kuropatkin is
crushed, Others, and it must be said the
latter are those better equipped to form
trustworthy opinion, believe at least an
other campaign will have to be fought be-
fore the car will be willing to acknowl-
edge himself beaten.

Retreat NAV Be Cut OFF.

London, Sept. 8.-The Daily Mail this
morning prints a dispatch from Sinmin-
ton. September 5. giving report that
General Kuroratkin has been cut off.
The dispatch goes on to say that the
Russian troops had advanced in strong
force to the southeast of Mukden as far
as Japaning hill to oppose any possible
attack in the direction of their advance.
A Chinese official who arrived from
Mukden Sunday says that the Russian
troops are leaving for the north; that
there are $4,000 men ten miles to the
east of the city; that the officers and
men have become dispirited, and that
much sickness prevails.

WOE FOR PORT ARTHUR.
Twenty Thousand Fresh Troops Leavo

the transports bearing the first Of them

forcements sent from the north as soon
as General Kuropatkin has been defln-

will be brought up to 100000 men, then,
