IS CHINA OPENLY
AIDING THE JAPS?

ST. Petersburg, Sept. 13.-The re
ports that Chinese troops are con-
csAtrating G. in the valley CT the Lioa
river are causing considerable con-
cer1 here.
The Bourse Gazette thinks it is en-
tirely probable that the Chinese GOV
ernment will formally propose to un-
dertake to guard and administer the
territory actually occupied by the jap
anese, adding:
TO this Japan doubtless will read
ily acquicsce, as il will relieve Japan
q guarding her lines of communica-
tion
In other words, regular Chinese
troops will become auxilaries of the
Japanese and the Japanese army will
thus be relieved from the necessity OF
protecting its lines, stores and land
transnorts will SET free all the
strength of the Japanese forces to op.
cate AGAINST Russia. China would
TINS become actually the ally of ia
par.
III The reports are confirmed not
o11v Russia but other powers must
intervene TO show China what the
limits Of strict neutrality mean"

ATTRACTIVE LAMPS.

An agreeable change from the
heavy lamps, with bowls of metal or

bowl supported on delicate tripod OF
copper more than a foot high, il
which a ieweled effect is produced by
the turquoise matriy sparingly used
Lamps of Nancy glass are even new-

54ttt- COTTON, PROMISED FAIR
20 DAYS Aa0. LOSES OVER
&c PE7 CENT,
Prediction That Cotton Will sell at

January /.
January /.

The following letter has been mail
ea by $. c. Alexander and company

sIondents:
Pine flulf, Ark, September IA,
la04.-The weather continues very
hot and day, and the crop is deterio
rating every day. The hill country
thirty days ago promised a crop above
the average; today it shows a dete-
rloration of 40 10 30 PEI cent, and the
farmers are SO reporting it. It Ger
tainly looks bad and in some places
every boil is open, and the stalk has
brown parched appearance. Tho
conservative ones do not believe The
deterioration 50 great. They make it
25 per cent and say there will be no
more made IN this territory than last
year The river country tributary to
Pine Bluff will be very short, caused
first of July. We know OF several plan
tatiOns that will not grow a bale of
cotton this year 1t is customary at
this season of the year when the de
tcrioration Of the crop is on for those
Interested in growing cotton to com
plain, and the complaints are often
exaggerated but this year a large ma
jcrity of thcm arc based on facts This
crop has cost as much or more than
any one since the civil war. The
yield for Arkansas does not promise
any more than last year. The state
made a fraction ovcr z00,0 900 bales last
year, and We do not believe il will
exceed that this year
We predict the heavy movement
will keep the market steady around
present prices for some time. but we
believe you will see them much high
er after the first of January. Cannot
name the price, but it will be above
IL cents in New York. The crop
grown this year Will not be over eley-
er millions of bales.

LENA REALLY NEEDS REPAIRS
Six Weeks Necessary for the Boat to
Ee Put in Condition.

Washington, Sept 14.-Admiral
ton. is moving in the case Of The
Russian transport with an energy
which has earned him the praise OF
the navy department officials here.
He detailed one of his expert naval
officers to visit the vessel and ascer
tain for himself the exact condition as
tc boilers and machinery He has
reported the result of this investga
ton to the navy department.
The dispatch stated that the Lena
was unquestionably in need Of repairs:
that her boilers were not in condition
and that to make temporary repairs
would occupy a period Of six weeks
employing the foil force Of the San
Francisco machine shops
1t was also stated that if new boil
ers We're supplied. as Capt. Berlinsly,
Iof the Lena, desired, the work Of put
ting them in would occupy no less
than eight months
This message was laid before Sec
retary Morton. and BY his direction
was carried over to the state depart
ment.
1t was the opinion that the request
for permission to make temporary re-
pairs would be allowed But it was
decided that the final decision in this
matter rested with the department OF
commerce and labor.
