quantity of cotton ginned up to
certain dates. In undertaking the
frequent and hurried reports now
sought, it is OF vital Importance
that the returns be made with abso-
Lutte uniformity, and that all be
received at Washington at one
time. This result could not be ex-
pected from individual requests
made by mail of 10000 ginners,
at a time when they are engross-
ed in their ginning work. Fur
thermore, the Census Office must
be kept advised.of all changes in
the management and operation of
these establishments, and secure
returns from all new and revived
plants. To accomplish such re-
suits, it becomes necessary for
the Office to have local representa-
tives who shall be charged with
the duty of keeping in close touch
with the ginning industry in each
county, and of promptly report
ing the quantity of cotton ginned.
The statistics for the October
report will be collected during the
week beginning with Monday,
October 20, and ginners should
keep such records as will enable
them to furnish promptly the re-
puired information. These re-
turns will be tabulated, and the
result published within one week
from their receipt at Washington.
Cotton statistics collected
through the commercial system,
however accurately complied, fall
short of the demand of both pro-
ducer and manufacturer-first,
in that as they cover the quantity
of cotton marked between Septem-

Mr.. CORNELIUS w. Troy, of
Tupelo, has been appointed a local
special agent of the Census Office
to collect cotton-ginning statistics
for this county, and we join the
Government in urging the ginners
to give Mr.. Troy their hearty sup
port and cooperation, thus enabl-
ing him to make prompt and
accurate returns. We would i'm
press upon the ginners the fact
that this agent is sworn officer
of the Government, aud that their
reports, are forwarded as given
to him directly to the Census
Office, at Washington, without
passing through the hands of any
middlemen. The information CIV
en- is held as strictly confidential,
and the operations Of individual
ginners are not dlvulged. Upon
the joint cooperation of the cotton
growers, ginners. and local agents
must depend the success of the
Census Office in this inqui-
ry, and it's ability to render this
great service to the Southern
people and to all interested in the
cotton stsple.
The Census Office has demon
strated in three annual reports,
the fact that the ginners are the
only reliable source Of informa-
| tion as to the volume Of the annual
cotton crop. This is very compli-
menJary to the ginners, who, no
doubt, will feel pride in sustain
ing the reputation earned.
In recognition of this interest
shown by the glnner, and OF d
general demand for more frequent
reports through this source, Con,
gress, in the act creating perma
nent Census Office, provided fol
the collection and publication o
these statistics at intervals during
the ginning season. For the crol
Of 1902 the Office will tissue thre,

Caracas. Venezuela. Dec. 10.--At four
O'Clock yesterday afternoon the combined
British and German fleets seized and
towed outside the harbor Of La Guaira all
the vessels which were then there.
These were the warships General Cres-
pc, Totumo. Ossun and Margarita.
The ships were manned by 800 men.
The news of the capture of the war
ships is not yet generally known in the
capital. Great excitement will undoubt-
eddy prevail when it is announced.
The British UItImatum.
It Is said OH. good authority that the
captain of tho British cruiser Retributicn
yesterday afternoon sent a special courier
from La Guaira to Caracas with an uti
matum for compliance with the note lie
posted yesterday by the British and Ger
man ministers at the home of the foreign
minister before their departure from
Caracas. 1t is said the ultfmatum gives
a maximum OF forty eight hours in which
Venezuela is to accede. The note. it is
said, requests the immediate cash pay.
ment Of $34 900 each to Great Britain and
Germany ard for the settlement Of claims
arising from past revolutions by mixed
made with France.
1t is also said that the British minister
at the last moment failed to present claims
except for $40. 900 but his claim is not
duly supported by legal documents and
facts and is considered absurd.
1t is understood here that United States
Minister Bowen has assumed charge OF
British and German interests.

him that he was acting within his rights,
and President Castro consented with re-
luctance to release the principal prisoners.
Mr.. Bowen will insist upon. the release
of. the remainder. Nothing in his reports
indicates the reason for tho arrests
Mr.. Bowen wishes to be a peacemaker,
and the department has decided that he
may do this only upon application from
Venezuela for his good offices, and IT the
same shall be acceptable to the British
and German representatives.
Seizure OF the Ships.
The latest report from Mr.. Bowen con-
firmed the press dispatches relative to the
seizure of the Venezuelan navy yester-
day. 1t is expected that the next step
will be a formal blockade. 1t is believed
here that this will not stop the entry into
the port Of American ships, but that If
they land their cargoes the British and
Germans will insist upon collecting the
regular Venezuelan customs dues. This
will involve the seizure Of the custom
house and in turn it is expected that Cas-
tro will issue adecree closing the port to
entries and will insist upon collecting
duties anew upon the same goods if they

would not be safe for any warship to lie off

set in shore, and there is no anchorage
until almost on the beach. The blockad-
ing fleet must either go alongside the slip
or stand far off shore.
