months and he had to return to Korea

that the appointment had been given to
a man with greater political prestige, but
he was offered the berth of secretary of
legation and vice consul general, which

More Cotton to Be Planted.

FROM The san Antonio ENpress.
There is a general movement in Texas
for early planting of early varieties of cot
ton in order to circumvent the boil weevils
and the probabilities. therefore. are that
there will be a great deal more cotton mar
keted next August than during the same
month of any previous year. That the high
prices which have prevailed all this season
will stimulate production there can be no
doubt. and it viii not be surprising if tbs
acreage planted this year is very consider
ably Increased. The effect may be. as has
been heretofore. to lower prices for the
next crop as compared with the present
one but there need be no fear of any over
production. for the present at least. as the
consumptive demand will be fully equal to
the highest production that can be achieved
for some years.

stated that all forces at the mine and
plant have been suspended, only q

employed. Speaking of the trouble
between the Potters' and the com

satisfactory settlement was far from
being reached. H. D. Rankin, who
is now in Chicago, and who Is ex-
pected here shortly, sent out an
agreement, containing, what Is gen.
orally accepted, splendid terms but
which the Potters refused to sign.
It is now thought that nothing fur

arrives.
Owing to the fact that the COM

probably be considerably delayed.
