CAPITALISTS HOLDING OFF.
Until the Result Of Gubernatorial
Primaries Is Announced.

Fort Smith, Ark March 1O.-Some
months ago Senator George Sengel of
this city went East and made arrange
ments with capitalists there tc. invest
100000 in a cotton mill here, con-
ditioned upon Fort Smith parties in
vesting 100000. He secured pledges
for the required amount and week
ago notified the Eastern capitalists
to that effect Today he received a
letter from one of them calling every
thing Off until after the state primar-
les, the writer stating that those who
had been interested in the project
would not make any investments in
Arkansas for the next two years if
Davis was renominated for governor.
1t is predicted that the receipt of this
letter will prevent Sebastian county
from declaring for Davis, something
which, up to this date, has been more
than probable.

INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT

President S. c. Alexander has cali
ed a meeting Of the directors OF the
Board of Trade this afternoon at 1880
b,clock at the Valhalla club rooms,
Fer the purpose of appointing the var
&ous committees to start Immediate
fly into the active work Of the organ
ization. The finance committee,
membership committee and other
Icommittees will be appointed to take
| |up the work at once.
"My idea ST the purpose of the
beard of trade says Mr.. Alexander.
f"is to look after the commercial in
|terests of Pine Bluff. For many
years this city has been discriminate
ed against, and has missed many op-
portunities for advancement. We are
located in the cotton center of the
state and should be the leading mar
ket of the state A board of trade
will help wonderfully in advertising
the city to the outside world and
induce Northern capital to invest
here.
"The meeting this afternoon will
be for the purposeI of getting the
various committees to work. The
matter of incorporation will be dis
cussed later, but the general opinion
is that the organization will be in
corporated. never saw the business
men take hold of a proposition more
readily. All are pulling together and
the organization is bound to succeed.
CAS- to the matter of taking up
scme of the propositions which have
from time to time been submitted to
the city, We will move cautiously.
The propositions will be Investigate
ed and the board may see fit to &C.
eept some of them.
The employment of a secretary
Will be another matter for later con-
slderatlcn. In my judgment, this is
the most important office in the Or
ganization, and the secretary should
be selected with care. By no means
DO We want a cheap man for the po-
sltion. We will pay a good salary
and we will want man of exper-
1ece and judgment.
The location OF the rccms will
not be definitely determined for
some time, probably not before sec.
retary is selected. With everybody
pulling together, and a live set of
committees, the new organization will
mean much to Pine Bluff"

FONG WANG CHANG
CAPTURED BY JAPANESE, AND
ARE IN FORCE EAST OF
NEW CHWANG.
Collision at Hai Ju Results in Anctn-
ec Victory for the Fighting
Little Japs.
RUSSIAN HARD LUCK CONTINUES

London. March 10.-News from
Washington Of the appearance of the
japanese forces at Fung Wang
Chang, about forty miles northwest
of Antung i'll Manchuria and Tashan.
a few miles inland from the mouth
cf the Yalu river, is regarded as nest
important.
According to the Tien Tsin CORE
spondent of the Daily Telegraph, the
japanese advaced from the Yalu river,
captured Fung Wang Chang and
drove out the Russians in the vicin-
ity to the Tau Ling eastern pass, and
are in force seventy miles east of
New Chwang
The Russians, with $4,000 men. are
entrenched strongly at Liao Yang and
Hal Cheng, where fighting is immi-
nent Some small engagements have
already been fought, the Russians re-
treating with lcsses. This correspcn-
dent says, further, that the Japanese
are using the same tactics and advanc-
ing along the same route they fol-
lowed during the Chinese war.
The Yin Kow correspondent of the
Paris edition of the Herald also
vaguely reports the Japanese to be
fifty miles northwest of Antung and
we'll to the westward of the Yalu
river.
This is the only news en- the subject
yet received at London, and to some
OF the military critics it is inc0nceiv-
able that Japan can really have exc
cNted such sudden, unexpected and
signal turning of the Russian position
on the Yalu river. which is thought
would have necessitated the employ
memt Of larger force than it is
though japan can possibly have at
tbs point.

TO RANK SECOND
FIGURES WHICH SHOW THAT
UNCLE SAM is CROWDlNG
UP TO FRONT.
Building Program Puts America Ahead
of France Among Sea
Powers.
NEW PLACE i YEARS HENCE.

Washington March 1o.-Within
four years tie United States navy
will be the second most powerful navy
in the world. or al least 50 near it that
even the experts VIII not be able to
determine waieh navy has the greater
actual effectiveness = that of the
United States or France. Paper esti-
mates e naval strength are not an
exact or mathematical science, and
expert opinions often differ. But it is
apparent that at the end of 1908, when
the building programs now under way
by the great powers are finished, it
will be wholly a matter of guesswork
as to whether the United States or
France is entitled to the honor of
standing second in actual prowess up
on the seas in fighting tonnage and
effectiveness.
Thus it is seen that the American
policy, publicly declared the other
day in senate debates, to make the
United States navy rank next to that
of Great Britain, is much nearer
realization than most people had sup
posed In fact, the rise of the Ameri-
can navy in the scale of relative
strength, its passing first one navy
and then another in the race until
| new it is lively bidder for second
place, is one of the most marvellous
ceVelopments CT the generation.
Twenty years ago the American navy
was almost zero; it was a subject of
glbe and jest. Only six years ago,
when the Spanish-American war came
Oh. 1t stood on paper sixth or seventh

eshAoAAso, a4il loul years uGuCS 1t Will
be a competitor for second place. No
wonder cur foreign friends are amaz-
ed at the rapid growth of the sea
power of the United States.
Measured by battle ships alone. the
United States will be an easy second
four years hence. Great Britain will
then have (deducting III, 900 tons for
Old ships of the Benbow, Camperdown,
devastation, Thunderer class) just
100000 tons of effective battle ships.
Or twice the tonnage of the United
States. 1t is amazing how the Unit
ed States navy has grown and is
growing.
