ports Early Agreement Likely.

London, June 1S.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Globe, tele-
graphing under Mondays date, says
he learns in Chinese quarters that
the dowager empress proposes, when
the court reaches Kai-Fong-Fu, in
lIonan, TO announce that the EN-
peror has been killed by brigands
and that Prince Tuan's son has sue
ceeded to the throne. The dowager
empress will then establish a new
capital at Kai-Fong-Fu, which will be
connected by railway with Marking
The contract for this railway will be
given to John {. FERGUSON, of Bos-
ton, who, the spondent under
stands, will sell the conce ssion to the
Russians.
The correspondent adds that Fer
gusson is acting on behalf of Ii Hung
Chang and Iaotai Shang, who hope
to escape censure by throwing the
blame for the transaction upon Fer
gusson.
An Early Agreement Expected.
Washington, June 1S.-A cable
gram has been received at the state
department from Special Commits
sioncr Rockhill, fully confirming the
press report from Picking to the eff
feet that an early and complete
agreement on the indemnity question
is expected and that, too, on the
basis of the proposition variously
known as the American, British and
the British-American The officials
here are hopeful that the present
week will witness the close of the
negotiations on the subject of in
demnity, though it is possible that a
further slight delay may occur
through a yielding to the desire of
one of the ministers to be allowed
another opportunity TO consult with
his home government.
Once the subject of indemnity is
out of the way, the withdrawal of the
foreign troops from China will
progress with rapidity. But there
are still several other matters of the
first order of Importance to be final
" adjusted by the ministers, and one
that is expected to give the most
trouble is that of the arrangement of
new trade treaties between the pow
ers and China.

cultural conditions somewhat similar to

ably he cotton. To the average nortlern-
ers the cultivation of cotton is II new

neighbors in planting, cultivatins and
corn can be raised, as we'll us oats and

crops. AS Il consequence Il great many
