Washington, July 10.-China's re-
quest to be represented in the Wash
ington conference on the ground that
she Is vitality interested in its pro-
ceedings has been received by the
president and informally transmitted
TO the belligerents. Whether the
president has received the formal re-
plies can not be learned, but it can
be stated that, While Russia is n
clined to favor the suggestion, Japan
will not consent to 1t. Japan has al
ready made public her assurance that
Manchuria is to be restored to China.
That is one of the principles for
which she has been fighting. Japan
regards herself as fully capable of ex
ecuting this promise without the as
sistance of China. and in view of
China's inability before the war TIC
cope with Russia in Manchuria, the
Japan csc government is unable to see
what possible service a Chinese rep
Iesentative would be in the Washing
ton conference. Moreover, Japan has
all along taken the position that when
peace negotiations were begun they
would be conducted directly with Rus
STA. 1t is altogether unlikely that
the Washington government will press
the claim OF China, and the official
view here fails to sympathize with
the idea.

GROWERS
OF COTTON
WORRIED

Dallas, Tex, Dec. 2S.-Vice President
Peters OF the Southern Cotton associI-
tion last night Issued the following warn
Ing TO cotton growers in the shape 81
circular letter. which he gave out TO the
press representatives:
"A word OF caution TO tho farmers ot
the south. President Jordans appeal to
the farmers of the south TO hold cotton
for Is cents is not the recommendation
Of the Southern Cotton associa ton but
is made In the interest OF the cotton spec
ulators of New York. in which IL is said
he and Secretary Cheatham arc interest
ed IL would be a great mistake should the
few remaining bales left i'm the farmers
hands be forced 10 that price.
1T would be disastrous 10 tho south, =
It would stop all diversihcat ton OF crops
just now. which Is being done by all up
TO date farm crs. and would cause them 10
plant next year the largest cotton acre
age over planted and probably get from
100000 TO 100000 bales OF cotton.
which would bring price OF four TO six
cents per pound for the next two or three
years, which Is less than the cost of pro-
duction. Those that haye been through
such trying times know What it means.
ALREADY the stock of the Virginia
Carolina Chemical company, the largest
manufacturers OF fertilizers. has In
creased in value about 50 per cent in an
ticipation OF an enormous increase In de-
mand for these products.
There is no limit TO the cotton crop
that can be raised by the use OF double
the amount of fertilizers and ~ per cent
increase of acreage.
mo matter what the reason OF the New
orleans convention may be, should there
be n prospect OF 15-cent cotton every
man will return home as fast rs he can
and proceed to plant cotton to the limit
and buy fertilizers as long as they can
be bought for cash or credit
The Census Bureau report OF cotton
ginned to Dec. Is shows fwith what was
carried over from last years crop, some
thing over 100000 bales) that this years
commercial crop will be over 1880, 100
bales.
The mills will have ample supply 20
run them until the 1896 crop comes in.
allowing for a consumption of 12.5oGo0O
bales High price cotton will certainly
curtail consumption.
"In view of these facts / unhesitatingly
recommend TO farmers the selling OF cot
ton al the present level. which is a good
price, and by so doing they will save loss
and defeat the Wall street spectators.
Save yourself ard friends from n dis
astrous series of years OF low-p price cot
ton. Next year diversity your crop, as
usual, and get ten cents and over for all
cotton YOU raise.
Yours very truly,
"E. s PETERS.
