glnned from the growth OF l9O2.
Realizing that the collection of
the data for these reports is made
at the season when the ginners'
time is greatly taxed, and appre
ciating the necessity for prompt
returns, the Census Office has
located. in each parish contain
ing ten or more ginneries, an
agent, who will visit each ginnery
in the parish and secure a report
of the quantity of cotton ginned
up to certain dates. In undertake
ing the frequent and hurried re-
ports now sought, it is of vital i'm
portance that the returns be
made with absolute uniformity,
and that all be received at Wash
ington at one time. This result
could not be expected from indi-
vidual requests made by mail of
80, 900 ginnerS, at time when
they are engrossed in their gin
ming work. Furthermore, the
Census Office must be kept ad-
vised of all changes in the man.
agement and operation of these
esta adjustments, and secure re-
turns from all new and revived
plants. To accomplish such re-
suits, it becomes necessary for
the Office to have local represent
tatives who shall be charged with
the duty ofkeeping in close touch
with the ginning industry in each
county, and of promptly report
ing the quantity ofcotton ginned.
The statistics for the October
report will be collected during
the week beginning with Mon
day, October 20, and ginners
should keep such records as will
enable them to furnish prom pity
the required information. These
retu rms will be tabulated, and the
result published within one week
from their receipt at Washing
ton.
Cotton statistics collected
through the com mercial system,
however accurately compiled, fall
short of the demand of both pro-
Queer and manufacturer-first,
in that as they cover the quanti-
ty of cotton marketed between
September 1 of one year and
August 81 of the following, they
are not statistics of a crop grown
in any one year; and second, in
the liability to error involved in
statistics so compiled. Nothing
short of official reports, made
sufficiently early to form a basis
of prices, will entirely satisfy the
cotton grower or manufacturer.
It is gratifying to know that the
South has the assistance and CO.
operation of the Government in
bringing about the result they
undertaking the sue
cess of which now depends upon
the cotton growers and ginners
themselves.

REPORT ON COTTON.
A New Feature to Secure
Quickly Accurate Sta
tistics of the Cot
ton Crop.

Mr.. JOS. r.. Domengeaux, of
Lafayette. has been appointed a
local special agent of the Census
Office to collect cotton-ginning
statistics for this parish, and we
join the Government in urging
the ginners to give Mr.. Domen-
geaux their hearty support and
cooperation, thus enabling him to
make prompt and accurate re-
turns. We would impress upon
the ginners the fact that this
agent is q sworn officer of the
Government, and that their re-
ports, are forwarded as given to
him directly to the Census Office,
at Washington, without passing
through the hands of any middle
men. The information given is
held as strictly confidential, and
the operations of individual gin
ners are not divulged. Upon the
joint cooperation of the cotton
growers, ginners and local agents
must depend the success of the
Census Office in this inquiry, aud
it's ability to render this great
service to the Southern people
and to all interested in the cotton
staple.
The Census Office has demon
strated in three annual reports,
the fact that the ginners are the
only reliable source of infOrma-
ton as to the volume of the an
nual cotton crop. This is very
complimentary to the ginners,
who, no doubt, will feel a pride
in sustaining areputatione earned.
In recognition of this interest
shown by the ginners, and of a
general demand for more fire.

MEETINGS AT NEW YORK.
Operators Held Conferences, but No
Statement Was Made.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-This was a busy
day for the anthracite coal oper-
ators. Before noon all of them except
President Baer were in conference at the
office of the Erie road. Their talk lasted
for an hour, but no statement was made
for publication. Following the conference
Chairman Thomas, Of the Erie road. and
President Truesdale. of the Lackawanna,
were closeted with j. p. Morgan at the lat
ter's Office Mr.. Morgan would not talk
about the situation. nor wocld he say any
thing about Secretary Roots visit to him
last Saturday.
In spite OF the countless reports to the
contrary there is the best of authority for
stating that Mr.. Morgan has up to this
time taken no active part in the settle
ment negotiations. He believes the mat
ter rests with the coal presidents. and
is reported to have said as much to Presi-
dent Roosevelt through Secretary Root last
Saturday.
Rumors that the strike was ended were
heard In financial circles. and In the clos
ing hour the stock market rallied very
generally from Its early depression These
runaors were circulated for the most part

his keynote the open record of the Repub-

which was to be passed on by the voters
of the country in November. Mr.. Dalzell
reviewed the condition of the country un-
der Democratic and Republican administra-

closest attention and was frequently in
terrupted with applause which was most
pronounced when he declared that the time,
methods and necessity for tariff revision
would be determined by the Republicans.
the friends of the tariff and the protection
principle, and not by its enemies, the Dem
ocrats.
The trust question was splendidly
handled, and the utter failure Of the Dem
ocrats in Congress to offer any sort of
solution of the question was so graphically
described that he was cheered again and
again. The effect of the speech in this
center of labor interests of the gas belt
Is most wholesome, as there were hundreds
of laboring men present.

pressed keen interest in the situation and
oesire to bring about an adjustment If
possible. Following this talk with Secre-
tary Root there was a conference in New
York to-day, at which the proposition of
the coal operators was agreed to and Mr..
Morgan was delegated to bring It to the
PRESIDENT in the belief that such would be
the courteous course and the best way of
promulgating the offer of settlement.

probable that President Mitchell will be in

CITY's FIRST HORSE SHOW.
Indianapolis People Give Ii Their I'm
qualihed Approval.

quaIified Approval.
The Indianapolis Horse Show, the first
and the greatest. opened last night in a
blaze of glory This expression was literal
ly true. for the arena lights shone with a
brilIiancy that had not before been noted,
and the performances in all the clases were
remarkable for the numerical strength and
quality. Between two and three thousand
spectators clad for cold weather attended
the opening programme, and were reward
ed by an exhibition OF horses and vehicles
that revealed the full purposes Of the show
as well as all Of the niceties of the ap-
pointments of equipages- From Ashb-coke' S
Rags that rode in the seat with him TO
the stout little polo ponies the exhibition of
appointments and animals was complete
The attendance was marked by the most
enthusiastic and representative gathering
of indianapolis society that has ever par
ticipated In public function. and the fric-
tionless manner in which the programme
was dispatched was the occasion for the
most favorable comment.
The night was one Of triumph. The prin-
cipal triumph was that the Judgment of the
promoters Of the horse show was vindi-
Gated In public opinion. The display of
horses and of vehicles was astonishingly
large and varied. The provisions for the
comfort of the people were adequate. and
the only feature that initiated against
complete enjoyment was the unusual sever
ity of the night. an idiosyncrasy OF the
weather that was as unusual as II was un-
expected. But the spectators found the
provisions of the promenade so well pre-
pared that by constant moving about they
were enabled to witness all the fine per-
formances, exchange social courtesies with
due propriety and maintain comfortable
position during the entire programme The
expressions Of pleasure over the evenins
