TRYING TO JAPAN
Deadly. Developments in the" Insur-
rectiOn in Formosa.

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 20.-Adyices by
steamship state that the Instruction
movement in Formosa is much more seri-
Gus than at first supposed. About $500
natives in Southern Formosa have taken
up arms against the Japan authorities.
The prevailing conditions are, similar to
those in the Philippines, making it almost
impossible for japanese troops to follow
the insurgents into the swamps and
jungles, where the latter are able to live.
In the last battle the Japanese lost TWEEN
ty-one killed and twenty wounded. Twelve
insurgent leaders and 1876 of their ene-
mics were killed OF captured. Neither
party gained any advantage by this bat
tie. The insurgents are carrying forward
so vigorous campaign that the Japan
ese have sent seventeen companies Of mil-
itis against them. IS ;.S @

REPORT ON COTTON
Final Figures by the Depart
ments StatiStician.
Explanation Of the Excess Of the Commercial
Crop of 1902 Over the Crop Actually
Grown.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. 29.-The final report
of the Statistician of the Department of
Agriculture shows the actual growth of
cotton in the United States in the year
1901-'02 to have been 9,966,47S commercial
bales, of which 1855 bales were market
ed before September /, 1901, and 1886, ,936
bales being carried forward to the year
| 1902'03 The commercial crop of the
year amounted to 10,663 ,224 bales, thus
exceeding the amount actually grown by
69e,746 bales. This excess was due in
the main to the very extensive market
ing of cotton held over from previous
yeas. The difference between the statis-
| ticians preliminary estimate of the
amount grown, issued December 8. 1901.
and the amount of cotton that has come
into commercial channels during the year
having been used to discredit the statis-
tician's reports on the crop of the pres
cnt year, most exhaustive investigation
of the commercial crop and its compost
tion has been made by the department,
large force of special agents having
pcsonally visited every important point
in the South. The results of their in
vestgations are summarized in the fol-
lowing statement:
The amount of cotton brought for
ward on September /, 1901, was $4,000
bales. and 19S,190 bales of the crop OF
1902 '03 were marketed prior to the first
of September. There also entered into
the commercial crop 172,226 bales of lint
ers and 67,572 bales made up Of sample
and waste cotton, known to the trade as
the city crop. This latter, as will readily
be understood, is counted twice, being
taken from bales already counted in the
commercial movement. With regard to
lnters, the report says that the enor-
nous growth of the seed crushing indus
try has resulted in an important addi-
tion to the crop, the perfect delinting of
the seed which results from the use OF
improved machinery, contributing to the
annual commercial crop an item that can
no longer be ignored. An equally exhaus-
tive investigation shows that the total
purchase of cotton by Southern mills dur
ing the year ending August 81, 1902,
amounted to 1881, ,532 bales

RUSSIA MUST PAY
For the Seizure of our Seal
ing Vessels.
Prof. Asser, the Dutch Jurist, Designated as
Arbitrator, Renders Decision in our
favor.
(By the Associated Press.)

The Hague, Nov. 29.-Prof. Asser, the
the claims of American sealers for the
seizure of their vessels by the Russian
livered his award in favor of the United
States. He appraises the damages IN
the case of the American schooner G.
H. White at $32444 in the case of the
James Hamilton Lewis at $2S,5SS; the
Kate and Anna at 81 ,4SS, and the Cape
Horn Pigeon at $3S, 750
Pro. Asser delivered his judgment in
the arbitration court, in the presence
of the representatives of the United
States and of Russia and others, in
cluding the Foreign Minister of Neither
lands, DR.. Van Lyndena.
In giving his reasons for the award,
Professor Asser held that the schooner
c. II. White was seized outside Russian
territorial waters and that the Russian
contention that a warship of one nation
was entitled to pursue beyond the boun-
daries of its territorial seas, a ship OF
another nation guilty of illegal action
arbitrator declared that the jurisdiction
of the State could not extend beyond its
territorial waters except by special
treaty.
The dispute was the subject of pro-
tracted negotiations, resulting in an
agreement in 1900 between Count Lams-
dorff, acting Minister of Foreign Affairs
of Russia, and Herbert H. d. Peirce,
United States Charge d'Affaires at st.
Petersburg, designing Prof. Asser, a
member of the Council of State of the
Netherlands, as arbitrator.
Prof. Asser decided June 80, 1902 that
the average annual catch should form
the basis on which damages should be
awarded, which was exactly the conteH-
tion advanced by Mr.. Peirce, who was
the advocate for the United States gov
ernment. The decision carried with it
the opinion of the court that Russia
must pay damages, and only left for
further argument the sum due in each
case.

Mr.. Millikan is a native of Randolph

Gratis. OF course there is a good band
here composed of colored men, the old
Third Regiment band but Mr.. Millikan

with the band in the gallery and gave
orders when to play and what to play
1t is not charged that Mr.. Millikan was
selected as 'bouncer," or that he had
anything to do with selecting these
gentry, but it comes straight that when
the caucus decided to throw the negro
delegates overheard, Mr.. Millikan was
much elated and turning to his band he
said, boy, play Coon, Coon, Coon, " the
