Complaint of Wong Ching Foo.
New YORK, June s.-Wong Ching
Foo, editor of the Chinese american,
published in this city, to-day had
Chin Pom Tip arrested on the charge
OF an attempt to assassinate him.
The affair grows out of publication

der him in Chicago, and that they
were to receive 81 900 if they sue
ceeded, and $500 ii they seriously in
Jured him. FOO's absence from home
on the night set for his assassination.

his life. When the plot was discov-
cred the conspirators were obliged to
desamp.

was employed AZ clerk in large dry
goods house in Cincinnati, which he
robbed of silks valued at So, 900, and

CHICAGO, June 9.-An Inter Ocean
Washington special says: The animus
Of Van Wyck's indirect attack on the
postofice department in connection
with the letting of the Fort Niobrara
and Deadwood mail route is his per-
s0nal and political feud against
Valentine. The special further says,
Gresham was displeased when he
found that Van Wyck's letter had
been published before it was received
at the: postofficel department. When
he was asked, "Will you reply to the
letter." he said, II don't know that
that is necessary. Senator Van Wyck
came to me the other day and said
that he thought the service was un-
necessary. He asked me to have the
matter looked up, and l said that it
would be. / don't think that any
further statement on my part would
be needed. The matter is in the
hands of General Elmer, and he is
competent to attend to it. No one
doubts Elmer's integrity or efficiency,
or would suspect him Of doing an i'm
proper act, and Chief Clerk Lyman's
honesty is not questioned"

Cotton Outlook.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-The De
partment of Agriculture reports the
increase in cotton area slightly ex.
ceeding 8 per cent. Florida and
Tennessee fail by one per cent. to
maintain their area, and there is q
decrease of about 10 per cent. in the
cotton districts OF Virginia and Mis-
souri,. The increase is per cent. in
Texas and Z in Arkansas; 5 in Louis
lana, 3 in Alabama, respectively in
South Carolina and Mississippl and
one in Georgia. The department
records the area in 'S2 was 6,276, 600
acres. Returns now indicate the
breadth to be 16, 900 acres, an in
crease of $4,000 acres. Area by
States is in thousands of acres: Vir-
ginia, SIS; North Carolina, 1,O5O;
South Carolina, 1919; Georgia, 2.S73;
Florida, $50; Alabama, 2,61O;
Mississippi, 2,27s; Louisiana, 937;
Texas, 3,O35; Arkansas, 1,18S:
Tennessee, 8O7. Missouri, Indian
Territory and other States contribute
the remainder. Planting has been
late, and replanting to fill defective
stands more general than usual. A
cold and wet April followed by cold
and very dry May with frosts from
May Goth to the Oath extended at
tempts to fill gaps up to the date of
the report, ana in the Gulf States
plants had not appeared on the first
of June. A persistent effort was
made to protect the stands through
out the cotton belt. The low tenn
perature and rains of April de-
layed planting, and retarded
growth all returns make the season
late, the range being from one to three
weeks. More favorable weather in
the lower regions has already began
to brighten the outlook. There were
counties in North Carolina in which
from one-sixth to one-third of the
cotton was not up. Frost on the 23d
of May which extended nearly or
quite through the area planted, was
specially Injurious on the northern
border. In South Carolina the cold
nights and drying winds during May
greatly reduced vitality and the
weather during the first week of
June was scarcely warm enough for
cotton. Similar causes produced like
effect in Georgia, somewhat modi-
fed by milder temperature, yet one
correspondent claims from personal
record, the worst season for cotton in
q years. In the remaining states the
temperature has been lower than
usual. The frequent report of the
presence of aphis wherever planted
is in the worst possible condition.

in Butler county, Alabama, two
days earlier than was ever known be-

Tabor's Attempt the Break Red
Tape.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-There is
considerable sport at the Treasury
Department over a draft on the Sec
retary for $65, Geo, drawn by ex-Sena-
tor Tabor. 1t was protested, of course.
The draft was deposited in the Colo
RADIO Bank by Tabor, who expected
in this way to receive the money for
land recently sold by him to the Gov
ernment for a new postofice and
court house at Denver. Before Tabor
can get his money the Attorney Cen
eral must notify the district attorney
to examine and report to him upon
the Senator's title to the property. If
correct. the district attorney sends
certified abstract of title, and when
received the Attorney General pre-
pares a voucher. This document
is given to the First Audi
tor, who examines and passes
upon it to :see if the law has been
complied with. Then he sends it to
the first comptroller, who passes upon
it. Next it goes to the Register Of the
Treasury who registers it, keeps the
original and sends copy to the war
rant room. Here warrant for the
amount is drawn and this is sent to
the Treasurer of the kUnited States.
The latter makes a draft for the
amount upon the nearest sub-treasury
in favor OF Tabor, and it is mailed to
his post0ffice address, after being sent
to Register Bruce for registry. Tabor
should not be in such a hurry nor so
direct in his methods.
