cossACKs' CLASSIC RIDE.
Within a Day of Seoul Whose Capture
 Was Threatened.

St. Petersburg, May 30. (2:10 a. m.)- The correspondent of the Russy h. valid, the army organ, with General Mistchenlo's division of 5000 trans Baihal Cossacks sent to Korea to keep in touch with the enemy, has given a detailed account of a ride destined to become classic in cavalry annals. The command rode 400 miles in a fort night. They approached to within a days march of Seoul and were anxious to capture the town, which would have been an exploit, the correspondent says, to thrill Europe, but imperative orders reached them to retire and they rreluctantly rode back to Wiju.
 The Associated Press learns that Mistchenko's division is now eastward of -Feng Wang Cheng, threatening Kurokfs rear. It is believed here that the men who wanted to capture Seoul are capable of seriously hampering the Japanese movement. Mstchenkos di- vision is independent of Rennenkampr s which is now north of Feng Wang Cheng. The Cossack raiders into Korea are commanded by Madriton.
 IL is understood that the formation of the eighteenth army corps will shortly be announced. The war office says that many of the guns lost at Kin Chou were Chinese guns captured dur ing the Boxer uprising.

DISSIPATION OF DALNY.
Ths Doom of the Russian Cruiser
 Bayan.

Che Foo, May 29.-1O:3O D. m.-Chi- nese who arrived from Dalny today, having left there on Saturday say a Japanese scouting party was seen by villagers in the vicinity of Dalny and that a battle took place on Friday at Yin2 Chong Tse, point on the rail- road about ten miles north of Dalny.
 Dalny has practically been evacuat- ed. according to the statement of Rus sian refugees arriving here. All guCs and ammunition and most of the troops have been taken to Port Arthur. The only civilians remaining are el5c- trical engineers in charge of the mine laid in the harbor and those set to dss- troy the docks and piers. One large Russian warship, probably the armored cruiser Bayan and three torpedo boats rushed to Talienwan Bay on Tuesday last, the 24th inst, from Port Arthur and it was doubtless the vessel which attacked the Japanese left wing during the battle at Kin Chou on the 26th. Junks just arrived here, on the way down, passed fourteen Japanese war vessels nine miles outside of Dalny so that the Bayan will likely be. captured.

A LEGATION CABLE.
The Number of Japanese Casualties at
 Kin Chou $500.

Washington, May 29.-The following cable has been received at the Japan csc legation:
 "Tokio. May 29.-General Oku, com manding the army attacking Kin Chou reports that in the attack on Nan Shan Hill the fourth division formed the right wing, the fifth division the left wing and the first division the center. The enemy consisted of one division of the army and two batteries of field ar tillery, beside the fortress artillery and marines. The fourth division talk ing advantage of the enemy's left wing, which was weakened by the lombard ment from our fleet at Kin Chou Bay, finally succeeded in carrying the en- emy's position while the other divisions immediately followed it up, whereupon the enemy retreated. exploding the magazines at Tafangshan. Our cas- ualties are estimated at about $500 The enemy left on the battlefield over 500 dead bodies"

Figures of Cotton Business
 of This Country
NEARLY HALF A BILLION
An Industry to Which in all It's Branches hore Than Seventy Per Cent. in Volume Has Been Added in the Last Ten Years.

Washington. May 29.-cotton and It's products will bring mcse than 800 mil lion dollars into the United States from other parts of the world in the fiscal year which ends with next Bonth. Last year the total exports CfiC6tton and it's products amounted to f3-5 mil lion dollars, and a statement just issu- ed by the department of commerce and labor through it's bureau of ststistic3 shows that in raw cotton alone the tb- tai for the present year exceeds the figures of last year by nearly % million dollars. thus indicating that the grand total Of cotton and its products export ed will exceed 4OO million dollars lr value.
 The products of cotton other than the raw cotton fiber which go tO form this enormous total, far exceeding in value that of any other single crop ex- ported, are cotton-seed Cil, cOttOn-seed meal, cotton waste, cotton seed in the natural state, and cotton manufac- lures. In cotton-seed oil and cotton seed meal the growth m exports dur ing recent years has been very great and their exports now amount to more than $25, ,OOO, 900 annually. while but a
 
 ton seed from which they are manu- factured was considered value!ess. The value of cotton-seed oil exported from the United States last year was over $14.O00.OOO. In the present year the figure falls somewhat below that of last year, owing to the large home de- mand, and something of falling of. in the demand from abroad.
 The Value n p0ffn--caesf nfI avu1rra1 from the United States during the past | decade aggregates round $1O5. 900. OO0. In 1889 the total value of cotton-seed | oil exported amounted to only a little over S1,O00, coo. In 1899, however. ft was ever $5,0000OO; in 1895, $6.OO0. 900; by 1900 it had grown tc $14, ,OO0. 900. and iR 1 1903 it was S14,z50Oc0.
 Cotton-seed meal is another article of comparatively recent development | in our export trade. Prior to 1894 the amount exported was not considered of sufficient importance to justify it's | separate statement in the list of ar l ticles exported from the United States In 1895 the total was about S4.OO0. 900: | in 1898, it was $S, ,OOO GOO; in 1900. ST. GOO, coo, and by 1903 had grown to si2.- | 75OCOO.
 The European countries are the chief | consumers of both of these newly de- | veloped classes of products from cot ton seed. Of the S14. .OOO.0O0 worth Of cot | ton-seed oil exported in the fiscal year | 1903, over S2,5U0,OO0 worth went to | France. over s3, 900 to Netherlands | nearly S1.5OOOOO to Austria Hungary. more than s1.25O.OOO to Germany. and about s1,500.OOO worth to other Euro pean countries, principally the United l Kingdom.

THE BURNING OF PIERS
The New York Water Front Had a
 Million Dollar Fire.

New York, May 29.-Seven freight and coal piers of the Delaware, Lack awanna and Western railroad in Jer- sey City were destroyed by fire tonight that started on the barge Allen C. Churchill, which lay alongside pier No. F, on which a lot of barrels of oil were stored. The loss is estimated at $1,000,000. A number of canal boats and several tugs were burned, the loss of small boats being variously estimated at from 30 to 200.
 The number of freight cars burned is not known but on this class of roll ing stock the loss will be heavy.
 Piers Il and F were full of gener- al merchandise; piers :, s, and 10 were used for coal and pier 6 was a grain loading pier. No person was seriously injured.

the beleagured garrison directly except by accident until the fortress has beea relieved or surrendered or the war is ended
 One of the Associated Press Russian correspondents has just returned from Port Arthur. He has been over and is thoroughly familiar with the forts and defenses there. His opinion is that the fortress cannot be taken except by a systematic siege and that will require many months.
 Unless the Japanese are able to carry it in less than three months, the cor respondent says, they will be too late as General Kuropatkin will then have enough men to send an army to relieve the garrison. Fock is a great fighter. Stoessel has 10000 men, including the sailors on the warships. The garrison is prcvisioned for year.

 the Past Week.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 29-Cattle markets have been strong to higher every day for nearly two weeks.

The South's Race Problem.
An Open Letter From Ex-senator
John L. MGLaurin.

JONI l.. MGLduii!l.
Columbia State, September II.
MIR. VIM. R Luke, Nashville, Tenn:
Dear Sir-Yours of August 18th
to hand and contents noted. Your
inquiry is legitimate ard one to
which you have right to expect a
reply.
The nomination of DR.. Crum for
collector of port at Charleston was
not referred to me by the President,
nor do I recall that / made any rec
ommendation as to filing this cfice.
My recollection is that the Pfesi-
dent withdrew the appointment
when he found there was opposition,
and, az the matter at that time was
purely local iu it's character, / am
satisfied that had the contest been
limited to the fitness, etc, Of the
applicant Dr.. Crum would not have
received the appointment, in the
face of the almost unanimous OBJ
lection of the business interests of
the city of Charleston. The color
question, however, was squarly pre-
sented, and the President found
himself in the position where to de-
cline the appointment was to admit
that the color of the applicant con-
stituted an inseperable bar. What
a striking illustration of the ease
with which every trivial matter is
converted into race question. The
Office of DR.. Crum dwindled into
insigni6cance besides the other issue
involved.
It seems to me that before long a
crisis will be reached where the sub
terfuges and expeaients which have
served in the past will be Ineffective
and this race question will have to
be met and settled squarely on its
merits. The sooner the better; each
day only adds to the complications
and dangers. Patience, courage
and self control. are the cardinal
virtues of a Christian civilization,
and when these are cast aside the
social structure itself will fall. Yet
We all know that so long as one
crime is committed lynching will
occur, this to be followed, it eeeme,
by Before day Clubs, indiscrimipate
slaughter, the overturning of courts
and military. Lynching does not
lessen the crime nor does the crime
limit lyncbing. The great under
lying questions belong to the realm
of tie spiritual, where moral prin.
cipals have their birthplace and
home. Ex. Gov. Chamberlain in q
very able paper says in effect that
the first step is for the negro leaders
to begin stern crusade against this
crime and stamp it out and that
lynch lew will disappear; he may be
right, but there is work for both
races to do and there must be some
common starting point and concerted
action.
Gov. Chamberlain is O striking eI-
ample of how certainly every intelli-
gent and honorable northerner who
takes his residence south changes
his views and becomes more extreme,
ii possible, than those to the ''man-
ner born"
The danger is in just what [ refer
to in the Crum case; no matter what
happens the issue ia made one of
race. A division on race or religion
is the most cruel, deadly and dan
