To a question put to him by the cor

Makes Charges in New York.

New York. June 6.-Richard Cheatham
OF Atlanta, secretary of the Southern
Cotton Growers association. who is in
this city, has declared his intention Of
calling President Roosevelts attention
to what he considers gross Irregularities
In both the preparation and the publica-
tion OF the government cotton report is
sued last Friday.
Mr.. Cheatham will make no charges
of bribery or any other crime. but his
intention is to ask for a rigid investiga-
ton that the resignation Of one of the
important employees in the statistical
bureau In the department of agriculture
be demanded. 1t is understood he charges
some one In the department with having
manipulated the figures and given them
In advance of publication to certain brok-
ers for use in depressing the cotton mar
ket.
The Southern Cotton Growers associa-
tion is an organization of planters and
southern brokers, whose object it is to
regulate so far as possible the acreage
OF cotton and to protect the planters
and other southern interests from manip-
ulation of the market tending to depress
the price of the staple. Officers of the
association declare they have as many
experts the department of agriculture
and take every effort to secure the most
trustworthy information regarding the
condition of the crop. For several
months the statistics gathered by the
association have been at variance with
those emanating from Washington. and
the officers of the association. together
with brokers and cotton merchants In
this city have conducted secret investi-
cation in the hope of ascertaining the
reason for the discrepancy.
Broker Gathers Evidence.
A prominent broker. II is now asserted.
has gathered the most important of docu-
mentary evidence in the case. From en-
ployes of the department of agriculture,
he says some of whom are in the habit
of making frequent visits to this city. he
learned that advance information in re-
gard to the reports could be secured. He
followed up this line by inquiring whether
or not the report would not be changed
and his agents were successful I'm this
endeavor also receiving letters that at
least one prominent firm of cotton brok-
ers In this city had such an understand
ing with Mt least one official.
Mr. Cheatham was notified of the dis
coveries by telegraph and made hurried
trip to this city. After many hours spent
in consultation he journeyed to Wash
ington. remained a few hours and re-
turned to New York, saying he desired
signatures TO a document in his possess
sion.
II Is said Mr.. Cheatham will charge
that the figures of the bureau of statistics
have been manipulated in the interests OF
n certain bearish element in the market
here and this charge viii include not only
the furnishing of advance information
pertaining to the government figures. but
also falslfcation of these figures.
In the case Of the report issued last
Friday he will charge that plans were
laid a month In advance.

definite announcement can be made at
this hour regarding the result of foreign
Minister Lamsdorffs audience with the
Emperor on the subject of Count Cas-
sini's dispatch communicating the Pres
ident's practical tender of good offices.
1t can, however, be stated in addition
that Grand Duke Alexander Michael
ovitch, the Emperor's brother-in-law, who
undoubtedly exercises a greater personal
influence with his majesty than any other
member of the imperial family, and who
until the disaster to the Russian feet was
the most uneompromising advocate of war
to the last ditch, has joined Grand Duke
Vladimir. uncle of the Emperor, in coun-
selling the conclusion of peace.
Vladimir for Peace.
Grand Duke Vladimir at recent family
council while urging the futility of con-
tinuing the struggle, strongly maintained
that the loss of Manchuria and evo-t of
a portion of eastern Siberia would not
mean the ruin of Russia's prestige. but
that she could continue to grow in infiu-
once and power just as Great Britain
did after the loss of her American colo
nies.
another important convert made by the
advocates of peace is Admiral Alexieff.

Due to Lack of Leadership.

The Associated Press correspondent Is
informed that reports have been received
at army headquarters from Viadivostok
that the naval defeat was due largely to
lack of leadership after Rojestvensky was
wounded, the engagement being carried
on principally without signals after the
first hour, and no attempt being made to
adapt the movements of the fleet to meet
the maneuvers of the Japanese.
Nobody on board any vessel in the fleet
was in the secret Of Rojestvensky's plans,
the ommander-in-chiefs only confident
being Rear Admiral Voelkersam, VINO
died early In the fight.
Up to the time of the battle, the re-
port says, fortune favored the Russians,
there being almost no sick in the hospitals
and all the ships being in good condi-
ton.
Were Not Confident.
No one In the fleet cherished any IL
lusions. At the most it was hoped that
enough vessels would reach Vladivostox
to threaten Japan's absolute control Of
the sea, and to make the Japanese pay
as dearly as possible for every ship lost
The hopes of the Russians went no fur
ther than this.
The Russian ships had enough coal to
reach v1adivostols, but there was an in
adequate supply of shells ana ammuni-
tion for a prolonged battle, whereas the
Japanese. operating near their base, were
not under the necessity of slowing away
numerous quantities of coal and could
carry a double quantity of shells or re-
plenish their ammunition from auxiliary
vessels
The Russian officers assert that the
ships surviving the first days battle
must have been practically out of am
munition. The Japanese guns. the re-
ports say, were of greater range than
those of the Russians, their neavy shells
flying over the battleship divisions and
striking the transports and unarmored
cruisers beyond.
