He Blames Education for Socialism, Nj
hilism, Etc.
A correspondent of The Daily Tele-
graph has been accorded an interview
win Prince Bismarck The prince de-
clared that no concession to the Nihilists
was possible. Overeducation had led to
much dissatisfaction and disappoint-
ment in Germany, but in Russia It had
led to disaffection and conspiracy. There
were ten times as many people educated
for the higher walks as there were
places to fill. Further, education was
making pedantic theorists and visiona-
eies, unfit for constitutional government.
1t would be madness to put such men
in authority. Russians do not yet know
what they want; they must, therefore,
be ruled with rod of iron.
Referring to the labor question, the
prince ridiculed the idea that worlemen
would ever be. contented, because, he
said, the rich are never contented. He
spoke strongly against any dictation as
to hours of labor, and against the usurp-
ing of the rightful authority of parents
over their children.
Prince Bismarck said that Chancellor
Won Caprivi was a perfect gentleman.
He praised Emperor William, and said
he was hopeful for the future.

COTTON.
An Increase In the Acreage In
Almost Every State.
Average Condition Throughout
Is 8S.S Per Cent.

Statistical Returns for june to the Agri-
cultural Department-Cause of the In-
creased Acreage--FIoods Delayed Plant
ing In Louisiana and Arkansas The
Crop as a Rule Late.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE stats.
tical returns for June to the department
of agriculture show an increase Of
acreage in cotton in nearly every state.
The area as compared with acreage Of
1880, is reported in this preliminary in
vestigation as follows: Virginia, 98;
North Carolina, 1902; South Carolina,
1903; Georgia, 102; Florida, 1O3 Alabama,
102; Mississippi, 1902; Louisiana, 80; Texas,
105; Arkansas, 90; Tennessee, 100. Aver
age, 102; average condition, 1873.
The percentage of Virginia is 90; Car
olina, %; South Carolina, 81; Georgia,
94; Florida, 92; Alabama, 93; Mississip-
pi, 30; Louisiana, "a; Texas, "a; Arkan-
sas, So; Tennessee, 81.
The fair price prevailing with low
prices for other products stimulates the
extension of planting The overhows in
Arkansas and Louisiana delayed plant
ing in these states and prevented in
crease, which would otherwise have
been made There are locations where
replanting.t to perfect stands injured by
cold nights is still continued and will
be in extreme cases to the 10Th of June.
Stands are generally very good in the
Carolinas, with exceptions in the low
areas where frosts or cool nights have
destroyed plants In the Mississippi
valley and in Texas, heavy rains, local
floods and foundations have caused an
unusual amount of planting, and on the
Mississippi and other great rivers delay
Of planting until the waters recede. In
such cases the seed has been dropped in
mud and the plants have appeared
promptly sometimes in four days from
planting.
Except ON the Atlantic coast the ex-
cess of rain has retarded cultivation,
leaving the crop somewhat grassy,
though recent fine weather has done
much to secure clSan cultivation. In
more southern latitudes the plants are
beginning to bloom, while the entire
breadth is, as a rule, late, the plants are
healthy and growing rapidly.

SUICIDES IN RUSSIA
Ascribed to the Recent Arrest of Nihilists
in Paris,

Ascribed to the Recent Arrest of Nihilists
in Paris.
Within the past fortnight an appall-
ing number of suicides have occurred
i'll st. Petersburg and other Russian
cities, the victims of self-destruction
having been mainly of the better class.
Tuesday another student in the Russian
school of mines shot himself dead and
the motive for the deed is regarded as
very mysterious by his associates.
The st. Petersburg police, however,
connect all these self-murders with the
recent arrest Of Nihilists in Paris, and
ascribe them to the revelations contained
in the corresponding capture at the lodg-
ings Of the conspirators by the Paris
police.
The Russian police authorities are
now more than ever convinced that the
Paris Nihilists were connected with a
conspiracy in ST. Petersburg, of wide
ramiiications and influential member
ship, against the life of the czar and the
attempt of the minister of the interior
to obtain, through the French ambassa-
dor, the names of those in correspond
ence with the Paris plotters will, If sue
cessful, unquestionably keep up the aver
age of suicides for weeks to come, unless
it Is reduced by the fight Of the incrimi-
mated persons.

lNElAal WHITE CAPS

INDUCED BY the state Authorities in
Spite of Popular Protest.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 1.-THE White
Caps have broken out with more vio-
lence than ever in Orange and Harrison
counties, but the state officials do not
appear to have heard anything of it. 1t
has been many years since the state
authorities were as careless of its good
name as at present.
Under Morton, Baker and Hendricks
the reign of the White Caps would have
reached sudden ending but now there
seems to be none to molest or make
them afraid The recent outrage in
Orange county was of such nature as
to appeal to every sentiment
of justice and honor of the authorities,
but from the state house not murmur
of disapprobation even has been heard.
The press has condemed the outrages in
the strongest terms, and the people have
demanded time and again that vigorous
repressive measures be resorted to, but
it has all been Of no avail.
