London, Feb. 9-Baron Hayashi
says the Japanese fleet is not likely
to blockade Port Arthur. His knowl-
edge of the Japanese naval plans, as
tentatively prepared, leads him and
others here to believe that the Japan
ese fleet is now lying between Chez
Foo and the Ialu river screening the
landing OF troops-one army corps at
Fusan and two at Pen Yang, Korea.
Night torpedo attacks on the part of
the Japanese fleet will, it is believed,
be kept up SO long as the Russian feet
maintains it's necessarily open position
outside of Port Arthur. This will be
done in the hope Of breaking up the
Russian nerve.
The troops landing at Pen Yang
will be pushed towards the Manchuri-
an frontier Those at Fusan will pro.
ceed to Seoul
Unless Vicerop Alexieff assumes the
aggressive, no serious navy battle is
expected until the Decentralization OF
the Japanese troops Is completed.

ROOSEVELT AND THE SOUTH,

In many of the popular journals
of the day | see spirit of sulleness
yes, soreness, resulting from the
late election. Mr.. Roosevelt re-
ceived the greatest plurality of votes
given any presidential candidate,
and now seems extending the hand
of friendship to the South, which all
possessing have power will gladly
accept. The republican party Of
the North is made up Of, and is GER
ltainly controlled by the most edu-
Gated and intelligent class. Doubt
less they have chosen we'll for the
entire country. The South is en-
veloped in a boom such as we never
eXperie need before. Cotton is
high, SO is land-both cleared and
in timber. Manufactures are going
up, and railroads being built in all
directions. The country is full of
money Now letevery man busy
himself in honestly gathering up as
much as he can for himself and his
family. 2
The government is conducted so
far from us we need not be disturbed
now we have so small a voice in it.
| must say that among private in
dividuals hear but little political
talk, and especially here in the
quaint old town of Brandon. The
men seem to take more interest in
the sale of plantations to the i'm
mense'concourse of northerners now
flocking here seeking investments,
than in grumbling about who is
president.
The sore head seem to be the
news paper men and professional
politicians. Let us be happy-our
country never was so prosperous.
Read Mr.. Roosevelt's letter to
our Col. Mosby, which append.
In my long experience of life, /
never saw,;so kind father and so
devoted husband aught but
good man.
The letter is as follows:
"Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 10, 1904
Personal)
"My Dear Col. Mosby-That is
fine letter of Roulhac's, and ap-
preciate it. have always been
saddened rather than angered by
the attacks upon me in the South.
! am half Southerner myself, and
can say with all possible sincerity
that the interests of the South are
exactly as dear to me as the inter-
ests of the North.
Sincerely yours.
