TO SAFE COTTON.
Plan to Prevent Further Burning oi
 the Product.

ssa
 New York. Jan. 1.-Representatives of local banking interests. railroads in the south and capitalists concerned in the condition of the cotton market at q meeting in this city have formulated a plan to avert decentralization in the cot ton market, prevent further burning of the crop by southern growers and to in- sure a steady price for the staple in the future.
 As a result of the conference mes- sages were sent to southern fnanciers interested in the cotton situation ask ing for cooperation, The proposed plan suggests that each cottongrowing section appoint certain trustees who will act in the interest of the cotton producers, and that the growers deliv- CT, or agree to deliver, ten per cent. of their holdings to these trustees on the condition that this cotton shall be with drawn from the market and shall not be sold for less than a stated price; that these trustees issue certificates to the cotton producers expressing these conditions and the stipulation that cot ton to the amount of, say, 100000 bales be received before the plan becomes ef- fective. This ten per cent, it is argued, could be marketed at any time at the price agreed upon. and the trustees could distribute the proceeds arising from the sale to the holders of the cer- tificates.
 Bankers and moneyed interests, it is also suggested, could organize a fund to be used in the purchase of cotton to be withdrawn from the market and held under similar conditions

 The news that the Russian forces at Port Arthur have been reduced to such a straight that at last the heroic com mander has been forced to propose sur- render follows upon month of re- verses. The siege began almost with the firing of the first gun in the war, now nearly eleven months ago, and when perhaps the greatest stronghold in the world was garrisoned by 10000 Russian soldiers supported by for- midable squadron of modern hattle- ships, cruisers and torpedo boats These warshfps have been destroyed or dispersed until but a few torpedo boats &remain in the harbor. The garrison, at latest accounts. had been reduced to s15, ,000.

The value of the goods cannot at present be es- timated even roughly.
 The articles include about everything from shoe lace to rolls of the finest silks.
 MT. Robinson told the police he had been married fifty years, and that dur | ing the last forty years his wife has had a mania Tor collecting parcels.
 T don't know what's in the house, he said. but she can tell you exactly what Is in each parcel She never told me where she got the goods, and I never made it my business to inquire. ." The only furniture of the apartment consisted of a plain wooden bed, a cheap table, two chairs, a stove, and a lamp. In each room was an aisle wide enough for each person to pass through and every other inch of space was oc' eupied by bundles.
