Washington, September 4.-The navy
department has just received by mail
the official report Of Captain Wilde,

attributable to fault on h part of
Captain Wilde or any officer of the

exercised extraordinary precautions to
guard against the accident.
The Oregon has now been completely
repaired and arrived yesterday at Woo

SOUTHERN COTTON SPINNERS
Proposal to Reduce Production and
Concentrate Sales In Hands of Few
Commission Houses.

Charlotte, N. c., September AT a
called meeting of the board of gov
ernors of the Southern Cotton Spinners'
Association tonight a report was re-
ceived from the special committee
which visited Philadelphia asst week
to confer with the yarn commission
men. The report, which was adopted.
recommended a curtailmcnt in the
present production Of yarn for a period
of sixty days.
The report is in the form Of a joint
letter from b representatives Of the
Southern Cotton SpinnerS' Association
and the var commission men and has
been approved by both organizations.
A report waS also received from the
special committee which has visited
h various southern mills to secure
their cooperation in a direct selling
movement. This report recommends
the concentration of all the business in
not more than ten different houses.
This report which was also adopted,
says in part:
After a careful analysis both the
plans of direct selling and concentra-
ton of business into the hands Of a
limited number of commission houses.
we should recommend. as an improve
ment on existing conditions, that the
business be concentrated into the
hands Of not exceeding ten commits

Der of leading commission merchants.

Washington, September "a dis
patch from Minister Conger was re-
ceived by the state department today.
It was chiefly interesting from being
the first word from him since his dis
patch of about the 9th ultimo, refer
ring to the proposed parade of troops
through the imperial palace in Pekin.
Lik that dispatch, this is without
date as to Pekin. The contents were
not made public, but it was stated "a
it contained nothing materially chang
ing the situation. The lack of date
led to a determination to take energetic
steps by which all dispatches hereafter
coming to the state department from
China will have the date clearly stated.
Two other dispatches received today
from China referred to the state Of
health of the troops, which is general
y satisfactory.
1t canIot he learned that there has
been any marked advancement of the
negotiations between the powers touch
ing the withdrawal of the a
forces from Pekin.
The plain indication is that the DOW
ers are acting upon the hint conveyed
III the last note OF the state department
and are ringing all their influence to
bear upon Russia to induce her to
change her mind as to Withdrawing her
troops. For some reason the tho
ties here appear to feel a growing con-
hdence that this effort will be success
full.
1t is noted as a fact of great signif-
canoe that the proposition is being ad-
yanced TO have Prince Ching return
TO PekIp as the acting head of the Chi
nese government. The suggestion is
made that the progress of this wave of
reorganization, while the International
troops are still in Pekin, promising as
1t e speedily to provide an actual
de factO Chinese government with
which the nations may treat without
further doubt as to its strength, may
solve the present problem and put the
Chinese question in a fair way to final
and satisfactory settlement.
Much may depend upon the attitude
OF Russia in this matter. and the man.
ner in which she treats this appeal
from the Chinese otables may prove
to be a test of the sincerity of her ex-
pressed desire to deal with the Chine
as soon as possible.
