Many Of the most prominent resi-

Two well known society men count

a council of war, discussed many plans
to make a few scheckles and finally
hit upon a scheme they thought good.
Both owned horses so they hired a
big delivery wagon, put benches on It

OutIook bod the Color crop.

outlook for the Cotton Crop.
There is reason to believe that the
cotton crop this year will reach 70, 25O,-
900 bales, because Of increased acre.
age and favorable conditions thus far.
Such an increase will not be in excess
Of demand, but undoubtedly it will
tend to lower the price, and our plan
tiers may make up their minds to re-
ceiving a good deal less than present
prices. It lie impossible, however, to
predict, as calamities may accur TO re-
duce present estimates. The Flnan-
cial Chronicle has a deserved reputa-
tation for the substantial accuracy Of
Its reports relating to the cotton crop.
It presented last week the results Of
It's inquiries regarding the acreage
planted this spring and the condition
on the first Of June. It reports 80, 1853
100 acres, an increase of 11.6O per
cent over last year. The report Of the
Journal Of Commerce, published a few
days ago, put the increase %conserva-
lively at SO per cent. This result was
compiled strictly from the statements
Of tits correspondents, without making
any allowance for bias or a disposition
to understate, which probably goes
far towards explaining the difference
between the two estimates. The
Chronicle declares its aim to have
been to make an underestimate
rather than an overestimate. There
was ample reason in the unusually
high price of cotton all through the
past season for expecting q SUBJ
stantial increase Of acreage. Last
year the high price came late in the
season and presented no inducement
to the planter, but this year he has felt
the full effect, as he got much Of the
benefit in marketing the last crop.
The increased acreage runs through
all the Cotton States, ranging from
three per cent in Florida to fifty Eve
in Oklahoma. In Texas, which has
considerably over one ~one-fourth Of
the entire cotton area, 1t is twelve per
cent. The promise for an increased
crop is at present decidedly better
than is indicated by the enlarged area
planted, for he conditions during the
spring have been more favorable than
last year. The planting season has
been late and rather slow, but there
has been no such cold and rainy
weather as in the spring of 1908, and
no such %inundation Of the bottom lands
on the lower Mississippi.
According to the Chronicles reports
the condition on June / was "more
promising than on the same date
last year, and with fairly favoring
seasons" e says, ''the outlook is for
8 satisfactory yield on the area plant
ed" Besides the increased acreage,
the high price is said to have induced
more careful cultivation and fertiliza-
ton in many places, In the hope Of
getting 9 better yield from the same
area. On the whole, there is at the
present time the prospect Of 3 good
crop. With an average yield per acre
it would exceed -, $50. 900 bales, and
the II IA million crop Of 1889 was
raised on forty per cent less area; but
the late start, the bon NeeviI and the
vicissitudes Of the season are to be
reckoned With. Everything consider
ed there is good reason to expect .
recovery TO something like the normal
supply Of American cotton as the re-
suit Of this years crop.

QUIT OR GET OUT.
The Grozovoi Must Cease Repair
ing or Disarm at Once.

Shanghai. Aug. 20.-The Russian tor
pedo boat destroyer Grozovoi has been
ordered to stop repairing and either to
leave this harbor at once or 10 dIsarm.
The Russian cruiser Askold must leave
here Monday at noon. These orders
We're issued by the taotai of Shanghai.
II is believed In official circles that
both warships will disarm.
The taota notified the Russian con-
sui general here that II his orders for
the two vessels to leave port or dis
arm were not at once obeyed the Chi
nese government would effect the dis
armament OF the shipa and that their
crews would be held In custody until
the termination of the war. Permis-
sion TO repair the boilers of the Askold
was refused The taotal contends that
the Askold came into port with two
engines and two sets OF boilers In OPP
GRAFTON and that she must leave port
In the same condition.
The change In the date set for the
departure of the Russian ships on was
previously announced that the Askold
would be permitted to remain at
Shanghai until next Tuesday, Is due
to an ntimation from Japan that
China was siding with Russia and that
China's responsibility In the matter
was serious. China discaimed respon-
sibility II Russia failed 20 observe her
neutrality
The Japanese consul general here
declares that the GroZovoi and Askold
are seaw0rthy and that they have been
gaining time to repair TO their full
fighting capacity.

THE GOVERNORS CLAIMS.
Are Stated by Col. Meter. Who
SAYS Trades Alone Can Beat Him.

Gov. Wells was In a happy state OF
mind when he left on an early train for
| Ogden. At his headquarters, however,
following statement was issued by Col.
John Meter one OF the governors
campaign managers:
There are two systems OF forecast.
One IL to claim everything In sight and
then attempt TO make good. The other
is TO first make good and then claim IL.
"Of salt Lakes 1875 there are "a dele
gates who are absolutely pledged to
Gov. Wells. In addition TO these there
are nearly a score who have told us
they are for us after first ballot pledges
are redeemed.
"Our friends OF the opposition are
making some ridiculous claims. They
pretend to count among their support
ers one man who came to us Volrn-
tarily, was accepted by us for the race
in his district and whose tickets we
printed. He came in last evening after
his election and proclaimed himself a
straight-out Wells man In the hearing
of a room full OF witnesses But the
other side claims him, They even count
Hon. j. j. Thomas as theirs. What We
are claiming Is absolutely certain. Any
variation Will be 10 the good.
AS nearly as We can now get al 1t,
we have 1877 votes outside Salt Lake
county. Adding TO this the "a OF which
ave are positively assured In Salt Lake,
our total In the state Is 2il, or just 10
more than enough 20 nominate,
"The only thing that could possibly
prevent our winning on the first ballot
would be some III advised trade Oh 9TH
err offices. We know such dickers have
been attempted and win be again, but
We are not worrying. The friends OF
Gov. Wells are true to him and will not
allow themselves TO be swapped away
from him for candidates In whom they
are less interested.
I'VE know some OF Mr.. Cutters man.
ayers are endeavoring to create the Inn
preston that when they fail OF nomlna-
ton they will so TO Mr. Hammond.
The purpose Of this Is TO hold IN line
the Hammond delegates many OF whom
are for Gov Wells as second choice,
The cutler people know this and IN the
event we might fail to nominate Gov
Wells OF the first ballot they see that
our Hammond friends would land us on
the second ballot unless by some ruse
they could be held off
