RUSSIAN DIPLOMACY
has Crept Into the Alaskan Dispute Re
tween America and England.

tween America and England.
London Upon authority of I'M
doubted reliability reporter Of the
Associated Press has ascertained that
In the Alaskan dispute there has crept
the craftiness of Russian diplomacy.
Russia, 1t can be stated, will do
everything, With every possible energy,
to prevent the practical cohesion OF the
two great English speaking nations
In all her embassies, instructions have
been received to thwart the Anglo
American understanding
A prominent diplomat who is init
mately acquainted with the details of
the negotiations of the past few years
said to the reporter of the Associated
Press
In any arrangement looking to q
working agreement between England
and the United States, Russia sees the
defeat of her dearest project l believe
her intense activity in China is to no
small extent due to her fear that Anglo
Saxon power, once centralized, will
sweep everything before it in the far
east. Dreading the rapid realization
of this nightmare, she is making hay
while the sun shines, in the meanwhile
intriguing to the utmost to tie the
hands of those who are working to ma
terialize Anglo American sentiment.
The latest evidence of this is in the
Alaskan affairs. Though, strictly
speaking, it is a matter of internal pol
itics and would have been settled long
ago if left solely to Great Britain and
the United States, Russia has managed
to suggest motives never dreamed of
by America by distorting facts 1t is
impossible for me to divulge exactly or
to what extent Russia got her paws
into the dispute But the attitude Of
her press, official to the core, is quite
sufficient to show her motives.

Bad State of Affairs Reported in Texas
Drouth and Flood the Losses.
Houston. Textile Post presents
the last crop report for the current
growing season. The reports from the
correspondents show a very bad state
of affairs In the cotton fields Of Texns,
caused by the heavy rnins in the spring
and early summer followed by the long
drought Of July and August Insects
have also done much damage toward
cutting down the yield. The Texas
crop for 1S38-99 was about 8, 400, 900
bales, leaving the Indian Territory out
Of the account. The loss by food will
reduce this by 900, 600 bales or I 8 per
cent, according to the reports given be-
low, shedding, prematurity and insects
and the reduction in acreage noted in
former reports will further reduce it
probably so per cent, in round Figures,
2,7OO, 600 bales. This is based on the
conditions as they now exist. A top
crop is a possibility not probability.
1t might aid $50, 600 bales to the
above estimate.
