There seems to be movement On
IN administration circles 10 do away
with the Dawes commission and put
its affairs in the hands of the depart
ment of the interior. The administra-
ton seeks every opportunity possible
TO work the graft business. If the
change is made it won't be long till
there will be all kinds of graft and
rascality brought to the surface.

tween China and Japan, and Russia's as
srrances that China's commercial convon-
,ion will he respected. Japan, therefore,
ros+ricting her claims to Korea, asks for
q definite. written guarantee that Russia
will abstain from interference in the poll
tics Of that country, thus leaving Korea
exclusively to japanese influence. Japan,
reiectiug the proposed neutral zone, as
delinited biz Russia, proposes a neutral
zone. if Russia still thinks one desirable,
which shall consist Of equal territories of
Korea and Manchuria, including the Yalu
River, with all Russia's Notifications
thereon. Finally Japan fixes no limit Of
time but earnestly expresses the hope
that Russia will not delay definite and
favorable reply to Japans reasonable re-
quests. Japan alludes to her privilege Of
disseminating the negotiations should it
appear that Russia is unwilling TO accept
these minimum proposals.
The note. although not altogether pre-
Guiding further negotiations, has a certain
flnality in it's tone implying that the COR
respondence is closed on the side Of Japan
It is not believed here that Russia will
consider the proposed neutral zone as sug-
gested by Japan. No authoritative opin-
ion is obtainable as to Russia's probable
reply, and it is said that the situation is
likely TO be prolonged for a good many
days. and possibly for weeks.

If Mediation is Offered.
(By the Associated Press.)


Paris, Jan. 1.-THE intention on the
part of certain European powers to
find means to prevent the japanese
controversy drifting into actual war, as in
timated in these dispatches yesterday, has
begun to assume definite proportions
though until today these means were con-
fined to an exchange of views between the
cabinets as to what course was desirable,
and it can be asserted positively that no
tender of mediation or good offices has yet
been made to Japan or Russia since it is
the accepted view that grave moment
which would warrant representations from
the outside has not been reached On the
contrary the official view here continues
to expect peaceful solution, without
outside pressure.
In the meantime the cabinets of London
and Paris have arrived at quite clear
understanding as to what will
be done if war becomes imminent. The
form of the representations VIII be
that known in diplomatic usages as a
tender of good faith. 1t consists main
ly in giving friendly advice for the main
tainance OF peace. :. Throughout the ex-
changes has been a strong sentiment that
Inc unlleu 1uIiueHte OI ana I0e
United States should give at least moral
support to efforts to avert conflict The
official opinion todal continues to be that
the patries themselves will succeed in
averting a conflict. "a
London, Jan. lathe British Foreign
Office officials said tonight after reading
the japanese reply56to the Lass Russian
note, that it only takes the crisis a step
further in less hopeful direction. The
advices received bSa the Foreign Off2e
made them fear ~tiast Russia would not
accept Japan's reiterated demands. In
regard to the reports from Paris of the
possible intervention of Great Britain
and France the Foreign Office says no
such steps are on foot, so far as Great
Britain is concerned. No request has
- en- received from either Russia or
Japan for such action and the Foreign
Office says it fears the time has passed
for any intervention to be asked tor
or for unasked-for Intervention to be eff
cacious.

.CLOSEDFOR SEASON
The Academy of Music
Will Not be Reopened
for the Present.

The Academy of Music will not be tem
porarily repaired and used again this sea-
son.
That was a determination reached yes
terday by the Board of Directors of the
Auditorium Company.
The expectation had been that the
house would be at once provided with
fire escapes as required by the city or
dinances and would then be used as an
amusement house the rest of the season.
But it was decided yesterday by the
special committee having this in charge
that this would not be done. The COM
mittee concluded that it would be unwise
to invest money on any makeshift and
decided to put off any changes which will
be made until a complete plan is decided
upon.
There were a number of applications for
the leasing of the Academy of Music yes
terday before the committee. From Will
mington, Messrs. S. A. Schloss, manager
of the Academies at Wilmington and at
Charlotte, and Mr.. R. H. Cowan We're
prepared to make bids for the lease, as
were also some four or five local men.
The special committee composed Of
Messrs. w NJ Jones. w. j. Andrews and
| ]. S. Wynne reported their action to the
Board of Directors at meeting of that
body yesterday afternoon, and it was ap-
proved This Board consists of Messrs.
Carey j. Hunter, president; j. S. Wynne,
secretary; Joseph G. Brown, w. B.
Grimes, F. L. Ward, w. j. Andrews and
w. n. Jones'
| By instructions from these gentlemen
plans viii be at once made for the re-
modelling of the Academy Of Music.
Architect Bryant, of Charlotte, is In the
city and today he will go over the Acade-
my and prepare plans for its Improvement,
these plans to be submitted TO the Dlrec-
| tors.
The purpose is to put the Academy OF
Music in first-class condition before il
is used again, and this viii not be done
before next summer. IN the meantime
the Academy of Music will not be used
as a theatrical resort.

Cotton PIuckiIy Fights its
Way Back to That
High Figure.

war news or no war news, rumors OF
war or talk OF peace cotton again climbed
yesterday.
And best OF all for the cotton planter il
was not alone the future market that did
this but the spot market took on this
advance also.
For cotton once again sold for II cents
yesterday after having dropped off the
day before to small fraction less than
this. The farmers were strictly in it
yesterday, for number OF them brought
IL their cotton, and sold it.
The receipts here were 80 bales yester
day, and the prices paid ranged from
13 IS cents to II cents a pound, the ave.
age price for the ninety-two bales sold
being 12 "a conts a pound. a year ago
with cotton selling at from IS to "a
cents a pound fifty-four bales were sold
on this market
From the reports received from the
New York markets it is shown that Get
ton sold in Raleigh yesterday at a higher
figure than in New York. The market
there was reported as unchanged from
the previous day, middling upland being
quoted at 1850 and mddhng gulf at 14.C5
Ii the future market only July passed the
IA cent mark, the highest price quoted
for this being 14.05. the market closing
at 1884
Fourteen cents is recognized at this
tine as high figure for cotton, and any
advance over this is apt to come very
gradually. A iuctuating market about
this figure is to be expected for some
days, with only the best grade Of cotton
being the top figure.
The mill men who have stock on hand
are now averse to seeing any radical de-
cline in the market. In an interview yes
teTday with Mr.. A. A. Thompson, Of Raj
e'gh, the president of three cotton mills
here he explained this as follows:
with the present high price of cotton
and with stock on hand the mill mer
would be hurt by lowering in the price
Of cotton. Some of the goods on hand
have been manufactured from hgh-priccd
cotton and if the raw material should go
off in value to any material extent the
buyers would expect the manufactured
article to be decreased in price. With this
view you can see at once that mill men
who have a stock are averse to lower
market now Sales hav amountd to but
little in the last few months. and there is
a good supply of stock on hand

The expenses were larger than we antici-
pated and ewing to various causes the re-
ceipts were not so large as were expected.
AS might have been expected, the patrons
of the fair were chiefly confined to the
citizens of Raleigh, though our visiting
brethren who were in Raleigh during the
progress Of the fair manifested much in
terest and gave valuable assistance.
The committee have gone over the ac-
counts as carefully as possible, but owing
to the fact that from the very nature
of the enterprise an exact check upon re-
ceipts and disbursements was impossible,
the committee were unable to check each
item
"a large part of the receipts came from
selling books Of shares upon articles do
mated. Many of those items checked
more than the books showed and many
showed less The committee believes that
all the money received was honestly ac-
counted for.
THE total receipts were $6,509.42 The
total expenses, including amount paid
Colonel Martin, were $3,S4015. The ex-
penses included the amount paid Colonel
Martin under his contract, rent of the
buildings for two weeks, amounting to
$500, services CT clerks and stenographers,
and the purchase of certain articles, which
We're sold at higher price.
THE total net earnings are $2,67027.
There are, however some articles yet on
hand, among them a valuable road ma
chine, and we thing the total net receipts
will reach $4,000
while this amount has been raised al
most entirely by the exertions of the Ma
sons of Raleigh and their friends, the
committee are not unmindful of the as
sistance given by the Grand Lodge by its
endorsement of the plan. They, therefore,
trust they will receive approval of the
Grand Lodge as to the method of the dis
tribution of the proceeds which, after
some discussion, has received the unani-
nous endorsement OF the committee.
They suggest that the fund be divided
in half, and one-half to be turned over to
the Grand Lodge to be invested in the
purchase of second mortgage bonds or
stock of the Masonic Temple Association,
and applied to the erection of the temple
in Raleigh, and the other half shall be
turned over to the treasurer OF the Mason
ic Temple fund, and devoted to the pur-
chase of second mortgage bonds, to be
divided equally between the Raleigh lodges
above mentioned, the same to be in add
ton to their former subscriptions and not
payment of subscription already made

prevail of this grand body to this distribu-
ton.
