ENJOYS ARE STALLED.
Stumbling Blocks Are Reached and
the Peace Negotiations Slow Up
In Consequence.

The crisis in the peace conference
At Portsmouth was reached Thursday,
AMI pessinism is again the note.
But the darkest hour is just before
the dawn, and there is still hope. Pre-
Gictions CT final rupture certainly
will not be justified unless Baron
Kc-aura Eguratively picks up his ha'
and announces that it is useless -
proceed further. lir. Witte, at least,
will not be precipitate.
The pessim:sm Thursday night was
based upon the fact that no progress
was made during The day.
The exchange of views at the morn
ing session upon Article lA (renun-
GRAFTON for the "cost of the wary
showed at once that the plenipoten-
tiaries were as far apart as the poles.
and il was passed over. Article K
ithe surrender of the interned Rus
sian warships) was also passed.
Article XI Oimitation of sea power)
is also adjustable after modification,
and Article XII will present no dlH-
culties. So that Thursday night the
situation was practically what it was
when Mr.. W:tte last Saturday pre-
sented the Russian reply with its non
possimus to Articles w and V (ln-
demnity and Sakhalin).
The only chance is now compromise
Russia TO yield Sakhalin and Japan
indemnity. Neither will yield both,
and, perhaps, japan, at the final Snow
90 hands, will yield neither. Mr..
Witte, under the imperial indications
contained in the instructions given
him before he left St. Petersburg, can
agree neither to pay war tribute nor
cede a foot of Russian soil. St. Pc
,ersburg, therefore, on the last resort,
remains to be heard from. Baron ko-
mura probably will welcome an ad-
iour1ment Of two days in order that
he also may lay the situation before
his government for lis final decision.
No worry great hope was vouchsated
in the japanese camp.
I'VE are not buffers" said Mr..
Sato, and from an authoritative source
the Associated Press correspondent
received a distinctly bad impression
regarding the outlook. 1t was coupled,
however, with an expression OF the
hore that if it developed that the con-
ference was going to pieces, President
Roosevelt might again step in.

DEATH CLAIMS CAPTAIN HALL.
President Of Georgia School Of Tech
noIouy Succumbs to Breakdown.


noIogy suceumbs to Breakdown.
Captain Lyman Hall, president Of
the Georgia School of Technology, and
one of the most prominent educators
in the country, died wednesday even
ing. at 11:20 o'clock in the Jackson
health resort at Canville, N. Y.
Captain Hall had been at the point
Of death for more than a week and his
death was not unexpected. His health
had been broken by overwork, and ne
had sought change of climate in the
hope of regaining MS strength.
Captain Halls death has caused un:-
versal sorrow throughout the south,
and particularly in Georgia, where ne
was 50 we'll known and greatly be-
loved. He stood foremost among the
educators of the country and his work
at the Georgia School Of Technology
had attracted wide attention. 1t was
his devotion to this work that result
ed in his untimely death. Ambitious
for the institution of which he was the
executive head he worked early and
late for it's success. The rapid strides
it made during the past five years are
attributed to his zeal and untiring en-
ergy and the great institution STANDS
as a silent testimony to his memory.
Numerous as Captain Halls duties
we're, as president of the Teen, and
hard as he labored at the presidents
desk ant in the class room, he found
time to contribute to the schools anu
colleges of the country some excel!en!
text books.
1t is doubtful if the country has lost
a mere able educator within the past
decade than Lyman Hall. His fame
as both educator and scholar had
spread throughout the United States;
and he was known as well, and re-
spected as much among the great col-
lege professors of the north as among
those of the south. His opinion on ed
ucational questions was often sought
for by leading northern educators. His
address before many of the eastern
colleges, especially those of Yale and
Princeton, have been counted among
the best essays on educational ques-
tions of the period.
Besides his mother, wife and chill
dren, Captain Hall Is survived by
two brothers, Stovall Hall of Atlanta,
and R. B. Hall of Raleigh, N. c.

TURN 70 ARSENIC TREATMENT.
Affrighted Citizens Of New Orleans Are
Crazy to Take New Remedy.

Affrighted Citizens Of New Orleans Are
Crazy to Take New Rsmsdy.
A New Orleans dispatch says
Spurned by the health authorities, DR..
Reginald B. Leach, the St. Paul ply
sician, who has come protesting that
arsenic is an invariable preventive OF
yellow fever, has become the lion OF
the city. His Office is besieged daily
by thousands anxious to place them
selves under his treatment.
The turning of the public to Leach
has shown the widespread terror that
prevails. Manifestly citizens in all the
walks Of life are moved by the same
spirit of alright against the lurking
fever, and, like a drowning man, are
willing to catch at whatever may hap
pen along. Belief is growing in the doc
tors preventive, and Leach holds to
his statement that more than one hum
dred thousand persons throughout the
city are now taking his treatment.
Beyond the statement that the daily
figures present solid evidence THAT
the modern scientific campaign in
progress is controlling the fever, the
authorities in charge of the Work
had little comment to make Saturday.
They find justification for their optl.
mism in the fact that the number OF
deaths remains low, far below what
they had reason to expect.
Following Is the official record tor
Saturday up to p. M: New cases.
So; total cases, 1,34o; deaths, Satur-
day, 4; total deaths to date, 1872; cases
under treatment, 401.
Sundays report was as follows {:

After Strenuous Session.
IMPORTANT WORK DONE
At the Wind up Bills Dssandng COL
ored Troops and Making Drunk
enness Crime Were
Rushed Through.

The general assembly of Georgia
was adjourned at Atlanta sine die At
exactly $40 o'clock Friday night.
During the evening session, the last
discord in the house on the general
tax act gave way to harmony by the
recession of tie house from its 20
sition on liquor taxes as regards Sd
cial clubs and dining cars. Several
other bills were passed, but most o.
the evening was given over to fellcl-
ties of one sort or another, including
the presentation Of handsome gold
headed cane to Mr.. Hall of Bibb by the
new county committee.

, farewell, while large group gathered
in the center aisle and sang "God Be

sion waded into senate bills in busi'
nesslike manner and many measures
of importance which originated in the
upper house were enacted into laws.
Between senate bills now and, then,
there was a report Of conference
committee on some subject or other,
the liquor tax, the reformatory bill
or appropriations, but the house stuck
to it's work and senate bills were dis
posed Of in prompt order. Only few
senate measures, to which there was
some objection, or which were too
long and complex for proper consid-
, Grafton in the closing hours, were put
on the table.
The house passed bills to make
drunkenness and disorder on publ:
highways a misdemeanor; to increase
the salary of the attorney general; to
provide more superior court judges;
to make it a felony to shoot or throw
rocks into passenger train; to re-
auire sheriffs to keep bloodhounds; to
make city and county bonds accepta'
Bile as deposits by insurance compa-
nies; to revise the military laws OF
the state, and various other measures
Of wide general importance.
It is also reached an agreement
with the senate on the general appro-
priations bill, the state reformatory
hill and the general tax act, the latter
delaying the adjournment until the
night session.
After some discussion in the senate
Friday afternoon the bill by Repre-
sentative Wright of Richmond, making
i. a misdemealor to buy or attempt
to buy vote at primary election,
was passed by vote of 26 to /.

Mills Discharged.
The mule spinners of the Savannah
Ca, cotton mills have walked out be-
cause they claim the carding in the
mills is an inferior quality OF Work.
Several weeks ago the one hundred
white women and girls employed in
the carding department were discharg'
ed and their places were filled by
colored women. 1t is to the work done
bv the new hands that the mule spin
ners object. They complained, but
without result, so they determined TO
stop work.
The superintendent of the mills says
he does not know why the white, Ia
bor was supplanted. He says it was
done by N. H. Triton of Vermont the
