Talk of Mediation a Play to
Make Japanese War Loans
More AIIuring.

Washington. ID. c., Nov. 15.-"Russia
will pursue the war in the far east to
the bitter end. that is. until Russia
has conquered"
These are the opening words OF an
emphatic statement made at the Rus.
sian embassy by Count Cassini, the
Russian ambassador.
Several times recently the ambassa.
dor. in the name Of his government,
has categorically denied the possibil.
ity of any Intervention in the war.
but the recurrence of rumors that
the powers contemplated mediation
has caused the ambassador to reiter-
ate on behalf OF his government its po-
sition regarding Intervention or media
tion of any kind. The statement con-
tinues:
Sees n Bid for Loan.
Il deem il my duty to reiterate what
| have so often said. that Russia will
not suspend in any case her military
operations in the far east. All rumors
and reports regarding the possible sue
cess of the direct overtures for peace
which Japan is said to- have made to
Russia. and regarding the mediation of
the powers, in my opinion. are started
for the purpose of convincing the pub
lie that the end of the war is close at
hand. In this way it is hoped that the
public may be led to believe that Japa-
nese loans offer attractive investments.
VIII Not Tolerate Interference.

the Transvaal, or than could the Unit
ed States in her war with Spain.

FARMERS COOPERATIVE WORK.
DR.. S. A. Knapp Announces Plans for Successfully
Growing Good Cotton Crop.

This is especially disastrous where
crops are made largely upon ad-
vances, as in cotton.
1t is only by a general cooperative
effort that credit and confidence, once
destroyed, can be restored.
Men capable of organizing Will be
sent into every district and deter
mined effort will be made to secure
in the boil weevil sections good
crop of cotton the present year
We respectfully ask the co-opera-
ton of all agricultural associations,
farmers Institutes, the agricultural
colleges, the executive committee OF
the Texas Boil weevil convention, the
industrial agents of the railroads, the
press of Texas and Louisiana, and all
practical farmers or associations
that can aid in this work.
1t is not necessary to wait until our
such a cotton demonstration conduct
agent calls. Anyone is authorized to
send for papers containing full infor-
nation and organize for cooperation.
I'd The towns are vitality interest
ed in making a successful cotton crop,
and can essentially aid this co-opera-
tive movement by establishing spe-
cial cotton demonstration farm near
every town in the state. If a demon
stration is necessary to convince the
farmers that there must be change
in the methods of raising cotton, then
it should he made possible for every
farmer in the state to observe the
methods pursued and note the results.
The only practical way this can be &C
complished is to have such a demon
stration near every market town.
1t should be upon a tract large
enough to show field results, and no
larger. Ten to twenty acres adjacent
10 a market town, well located and
managed by an energetic, practical
farmer, would meet all requirements.
The Department of Agriculture will
| undertake the full direction of such
| farms
We invite the citizens of any town

Houston, Texas, Feb. AFTER full
canvass of NE United States Depart
ment of Agriculture of the various
lines of work which should be imme-
diateIy taken for the relief of the far
mers in the boH weeviI infected dis
tricts of Texas and adjoining terrific
ry, it was decided that it would not
be practical to establish enough gen
erai demonstration farms in Texas,
the present year to meet the require
m.ents of the people.
First. To reach all the people
there should be two or more farms in
every county. The department did
not have the force to give such extern
sive work the necessary supervision.
Second. The funds voted by con-
gress for the boil weevil work were
not sufficient to carry out such a
plan.
Third. Even if these general dem
onstration farms were to be estab-
Iished, it would be a simple invitation
to the farmers to wait for another
year and see the results; whereas, the
people need immediate relief.
1t was further evident that the ap-
preparation would not be sufficient
to furnish seed or fertilizer for gener-
al distribution in sufficient quantity
to give any wide relief.
Under the above conditions the only
practical and rational plan for general
relief that could be adopted was CO.
operation.
1st. Arrange to personally meet
the farmers and enroll as many as pos
sible in general cooperative demon
stration, in which each farmer agrees
to cultivate ten or twenty acres of
cotton under instructions given by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, which have been proven to be a
success.
If the progressive farmers of this
state will unite in this cooperative
movement, it will influence many hun.
dreds to line up in favor of letter
methods, who might otherwise at
tempt to make a crop upon the old
plan, and bring disaster to themselves
and others.
One of the most bansful results Of
the successive failure of crops is the
loss of public confidence, and the ruiz
of private credit.

THE MAVERICK CASE.
Denial in England That She Has Been
Pardoned and Set Free.

London: Mrs. Florence Maybrirk,
who Is serving life sentence TO- the
murder of her husband, has not Saen
released, but was removed from
Ayiesbury prison on Ian. IS presume
bly, for the purpose of recuperation.
She is still doing 3eu-elce under
guard, and though apparently not IN
inmate of any prison, she till remains
as much a prisoner N the eyes of the
law as when she was at Aylesbury.
On authority of the United States
embassy here the Associated Press is
authorized to definitely deny that
Mrs. Maybrick has been pardoned.
In spite of the mystery VIII which
the officials shroud the action in con-
nection with the reported release of
Mrs. Florence Maybrick, who is serv-
ing life sentence for poisoning her
husband, it can be denifiitely said that
she has been removed from Aylesbury
prison. At the United States ambas-
sy it was emphatica!fy declared that
she had not been pardoned, and that
she was still prisoner. Where she
has been taken remains a mystery,
but reports from Aylesbury are to the
effect that she has been removed to
some institution in Cornwall. The
home office and the gov ernor of Ayles-
Eury prison refused to make any kind
of statement on the subject. If the
ordinary course had been followed,
Mrs Maybrick would have been ta-
ken to Holloway if her immediate re-
lease was contemplated, but she is
not there and has probably been re-
moved to some other prison of less
rigorous discipline, where she can re-
cuperate prior to her release, or pos
sibly she has been conveyed to some
government home of detention or to
an asylum.
The details given in Lloyds Week
ly Newspaper regarding the visit of
Mrs. Maybrick's mother, Baroness de
Rogues, to Aylesbury prison. Jan. 25,
appear to be correct. She afterwards
declared that Mrs. Maybrick was very
busy with her work and in much bet
ter spirits and looking forward to her
release.
