Washington. Aug. I3-The secretary
of state today made public this govern.
ment's reply to the notification by China
of the appointment of Prince Ii Hung
Chang to negotiate peace. This govern
ment replies that it regards the appoint

store am,cable relations, but it points
out that it will be impossible for it to ask
other powers to join in negotiations Tor
peace so long as the ministers of those
powers and our own minister are in
positions of grave danger and restraint
In diplomatic terms the message, which
is transmitted through Mr. WI, tells
China that she must give us Conger and
all our people unharmed before we will
negotiate anything. and that meantime
the little trip to Peking by our troops is
not to be postponed.

Tbe Farmers are in the saddle.


For the first time in years the
cotton farmer within reach of a
Roundlap bale plant finds himself
independent of congresses and
bagging and tie men, who have
grown rich out of the monopoly
they have enjoyed Of covering and
COMPRISING his cotton. Besides
enabling him 10 sell his cotton in
Roundlap bales at a premium
which, after paying the baling
charge leaves him a handsome
profit, the competition aroused by
the presence Of a round bale plant
compels square bale buyers to ad-
vance their limits. How much Of
the higher prices paid last fall
was due to this competition pat
rons Of Roundlap plants know.
