 ''The south is not sectional in It's feel ings or present attitude and we will promptly condemn with our votes Pres ident Roosevelt or his administration when he does, or seeks to do. that which means the stirring up of strife or section al feeling in the south or any other sec tion. We recognize that President Roose- velts administration has been over whelmingly endorsed and our duty as up- right and fair Americans, is that we should not prompted by partisanship, seek to obstruct and unfairly embarrasi the administration I believe such is tn, predominatlng sentiment of the peopl, of the south"

May Talk Measure Down.

The poor condition of the treasury leads many member to fear that another Tom Carter may rise in his place in the sem ate with the secret encouragement of the administration and talk to death the forthcoming rivers and harbors bill.
 At least they all admit that there is a good deal more excuse for such a per- formance now than there was four years ago.
 The republican leaders themselves are sending out reports warning the rivers and harbors and public buildings and grounds committees to be very careful not to load down their bills; little ones reas- onable appropriations, will be passed, they say, but don't carry 1t too far"
 Men who talked with Speaker Cannon did not come away with optimism writ ten large upon their features. The speaker did not say to them nay in so many words when they hinted around about urgent public works, but he dropped in a remark here and there 1t Is said which kind of dampened the ardor of the pro- motors of the public good, to say the least.
 The speaker. they say. pointed out that there is already, as he termed 1t in his homely fashion. "a gap of about s30, o00. 900 between the vest and the pants" Then he went on to say that this deficit created a situation which could be met In one of three ways-by economical expenditures. by borrowing money or by raising more revenue
 He could see one way that thls session of congress could deal with the situation. to be economical. Now boys" he would add. so they say, "Just chew on Chat for awhile"

Movements Are Puzzllnu.

St. Petersburg, December 3.-2:30 a. m.- The situation of the armies below Mukden is again attracting attention, but the movements are very puzzling The war office is Inclined to reticence.
 General Rennenkampff has hotly pursu- ed a Japanese detachment below Sin sintin as far as the Taitse river, and on the right the Russian scouts have ex- plored the Hun river below Liao Yang. All passes fell into Rennenkampff s hands The Japanese apparently failed to show their old time form, and official as well as unofficial dispatches, indicate that the edge has been taken off the Japanese fighting capabilities by the cold weather The same reports say the Jap anese threw away their rifles, many of which were captured. Other reports say the Japanese officers shot five soldiers who refused to face the foe.
 There was heavy bombardment today along the Russian center and right. which might indicate that General Kuropatkin is preparing to assume the offensive.
 It is the general opinion in military circles that the present situation can not continue much longer, but 1t is arr Rued that a frontal attack against for t!fied positions along the Shakhe river is bound to be disastrous to whoever s side attempts it. Any serious advance to be successful 1t is believed at the war office. must be accomplished by wide strategic turning movement as the ar mics are too close for tactical fianking operations.
 Some of the best informed officials say that suspicious exist that Field Mar shal Oyoma is trying to work Kuroki around east of Sinsintin, with a view to striking the Russians above Tie Pass. with the object of again trying decis- i've coup; but no positive evidence of such move has yet appeared.
 Reports the last few days indicate that General Rennenkampff Is hotly follow
