THE NEWS AT WASHINGTON.

Washington. July Notable as a statesman and diplomat, whose official activities brought him conspicuously before the public for many years, the news of the death of Secretary Hay at his summer home on Lake Sunapee, N. H., was received here with evil dences of the most profound regret. Although aware of the delicate condi- ton of Mfr Hays health, there was a general expectation that he would again rally and that long stay in the New Hampshire mountains would in measure restore his health. The latest reports received here yesterday from Mrs Hay and from other sources were of a reassuring nature and for this reason the announcement of his death came as sudden and painful surprise to Washington.
 MT Hay never was of robust consti- tuition, but by scrupulous care he was able to keep in fairly good health. Every summer he sought partial relief from official duties by spending sev- eral months at his New Hampshire home, ''The Fells," on the shore of Lake Sunapee.
 While MT Hays official duties were congenial to him. yet because of his somewhat impaired physical condition he was reluctant to remain in the cab inet and did so only at the urgent so- licitation of President Roosevelt.

SIR DURAND's TRIBUTE.

Lenox, Mass, July 1.-Sir H. NJ. Durand, British ambassador to the United States, said of Secretary of State Hay today:
 Il am deeply shocked and grieyed to hear the news. Outside of America Mr Hay was regarded as one of the first of living statesmen. His death is loss to the world. Official rela- tions with him were pleasure, for he was as courteous and refined as he was straightforward and firm. He seemed to me to be the very type of what diplomatist should be. I feel as if I had lost a personal friend"

RUSSIAN OFFICER WAS

An Impudent Soldier Was the Cause of it All-The Officer Ordered His Arrest for Some nisdemeanor and When the Soldier Talked Back the Officer Cut Him Down-The Riot Followed

Kursk, European Russia, July l. An officer was burnt to death in a railway car here by mob last night after short, sharp conflict. The trou- ble arose through the officer on his arrival from Kieff ordering the arrest of soldier. The latter was impudent and the officer drew his sword and cut the man down. The surrounding crowd drove the officer into a railway car, from which he defended himself with his revolver. Ultimately the mob saturated the car with petroleum, set fire to it and the officer perished. The rioters were dispersed by dra- goons.

FARMERS TO REDUCE ACREAGE

Despite the short crop and I'M
precedented consumption, Harvie
Jordan, president of the Southern
Cotton Association, is confident
of the success of the movement to
hold three million bales OF the
staple for higher prices. It is
stated that more than 200, 900 bales
have been voluntarily pledged by
wire and scores of additional pied
ges are arriving by every mail.
Within the next few days the
association will begin pledging the
cotton growers of the south to a
reduced acreage for 1906, in order
that the planters may have full
opportunity of making their ar
engagements for another year. The
Southern Cotton Association is
growing stronger and more power
full each day and in it's work has
the hearty endorsement of the
farming and business interests of
the entire south.
In speaking of the situation
Tuesday morning President Jor-
dan said:
'"The proposition to tie up three
million bales of this crop and hold
it for higher prices in the face of
an already established short crop
and unprecedented consumption,
is well under way and will prove
successful. Already more than
200,000 bales have been voluntarily
pledged by wire, and the signed
pledges are now beginning to come
in by every mail.
"The whole south and every
cotton section is enthusiastic and
determined. In connection with
our holding movement the entire
machinery of the Southern Cotton
Association will get to work in the
next ten days pledging the cotton
growers Of the south to a reduced
acreage for 1906. The association
is a hundred times stronger now
than it was last spring and has
the full confidence and support of
several hundred thousand farmers.
We will begin thus early to hold
down the cotton acreage in order
to give the planters full Opportun-
ity to make their arrangements for
another year.

Threats by planting large areas in
cotton and playing into the hands
of bearish speculation. The de
mand for a reduced acreage in or
der to maintain good price for the
staple will have the unanimous en-
dorsement and cooperation of the
entire farming and business ele-
ment of the south"
