THE RENT OF COTTON FARMERS.
Solving the Problem of Rcduciog
Acreage and Paying This Debt
Especial to News and Observer. }

Especial to News and Observer
Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 21.--One OF the
greatest problems concerning the re-
duction of cotton acreage has been
that of large land owners who do not
actually farm themselves. To have a
large number of tenants and expect
of them so much rent in the fall, ana
then expect them to reduce the acre.
age and at the same time pay rent
and make q living for themselves was
question that was causing those in
favor of reducing the acreage much
concern, but Hon. Dudley NJ. Hughes,
president of the Georgia Agriculture
Society, has come forward with a
plan, which. if adopted, will be q
great help to the reduction of acre
age movement.
Mr.. Hughes, who owns several
thousand acres of land in middle
Georgia, and whose tenants operate
about two hundred Plows, has agreed
to accept corn, peas, oats, fodder, cane
or any other farm product at it's mar
ket value in lieu of cotton for rent,
provided each tenant will cut down
his cotton acreage to fifteen acres to
the plow.
Mr.. Hughes made this announce
ment several days ago. and rs it seems
q very feasible idea there is no doubt
that It will be carried out to a large
extent.
Iii speaking of the matter Mr..
Hughes said:
"All Of my tenants have agreed to
the plan. Last year they had on an
average about twenty-five acres to
the plow. This year they will have
only fifteen. The amount OF fertilizer
purchased has also been reduced one
half / hope that every land owner

Mr.. Webb Delivers /;
Strong Argument.
The Philippine Tariff Bill Was Under
Discussion. What Strenuous
Chairman May Do to Defeat
a Measure.
Especial to News and observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
Washington. ID. G.. Feb. 21.--Rep-
resentative WEBB, today offered two
important amendments to the Philip
pines tariff bill and spoke on them.
His first amendment was to admit
raw cotton TO the Philippines free of
duty, and the vote as first announced
was nincty-fiye for the amendment to
lightweight against, but the chair
man arbitrarily ordered the vote be
taken over when after much scurry-
ing around OH tho part of the Re-
publican leaders the amendment was
defeated eighty-four TO ninety-oue.
The second amendment was to admit
all manufachirs of cotton into the
Philippines free OF duty and this
amendment was defeated bv the mar
row vote Of ninety-3ve TO ninety-nine
Mr.. Webb III the beginning of his
speech pleaded for an open market in
the Philippines for Southern cotton
and the American cotton manufacture

In the position of turning the markets
of the Philippines, our own colonies

other countries paid one and one half

his amendments were adopted our

tn no f.,nC hot
had promised the committee OF
the New Orleans cotton con-
vention only yesterday that he would
do all in his power TO open foreign
markets to American cotton and it's
manufactured product. and Mr.. Webb
said the best way to begin to do that
was to adopt his amendments taking
the tariif off and give the American
cotton grower and manufacturer the
benefit of Philippine markets.
IN conclusion he showed that many
mills both in the North and the South
had been Idle most of the time for
the past four eyarS and that many OF
them had run at q loss or at least
without profit aud that much suffer-
ing has been visited upon the opcr-
dtiveS at Fall River and other places
by reason of the staGnation in cotton
goods; and argued conclusiyely that
the American Congress should open
up the markets under it's control. He
was listened to closely by Democrats
aud Republicans. and at the couclu~
sion OF his remarks there was II storm
of applause. on the Democratic side
Mr.. Payne. Of New York. a Rcpub-
lican leader of the IIousc. replied to
Mr.. Webb and took occasion to say
that Mr.. Webb represented interests
which doubtless We're very near to
him. Mr.. Webb asked him if he did
not know that this amendment owuld
aid the Fall River strikers as we'll as

of the South. Mr.. Payne refused TO
argue these amendments of Mr.. w ebb.

LET THIS Be DONE
AND PEACE ESM|LES
Terms On Which Russia
Would End the War.
THEY ARE AGREED ON
So 1t is Stated in a Telegram to Reut.
er's From st. Petersburg. This
Gives the Terms Which
Russia is Willing to
Accept.
fBv the Associated Press.l }

London, Feb. 21.--A dispatch to
Reuters Telegram Company from st.
Petersburg confirming the Associated
Press advices of February II and Feb
ruary IS from st. Petersburg to the
effect that peace was under consider
alton, adds:
THE question of peace has not only
been formally discussed, but the con-
ditions on which Russia is prepared
to make peace have practically been
agreed upon. These are as follows:
Korea to- be placed under Japa-
ncSc SuZerainty;
Port Arthur and the Liaotung PEN
insula to be cedcd to Japan;
''Vladivostock to he declared a ncu-
tl;al port with an open door;
.'Thc Eastern Chinese railroad to be
placed under neutral International adj
mimstratiOn;
"Manchuria as far north as HarbiH
to be restored as an integral part of
the Chinese empire.
THE difficulty lies in settling the
question of indemnity upon which 1t
thought that this difficulty is not in
superable.
The most trustworthy opinion at
st. Petersburg is that in view of the
internal situation and the enormous
difficulty in carrying on the war,
peace, on the terms outlined, will be
concluded within a comparatively
short time if the indemnity question
can be arranged but il is quite possi-
BILE that Russia will risk another bat
tie before q decision is reached

and at the same time not interfere
with the industry IN the islands. The
tobacco business iI15the Philippines. he
explained, was not,in so bad a way as
the sugar business.
Concerning the cotton schedule Mr.
Payne, answering q query of Mr.. Bart
lett (Ga) furnished the information
that the language of the former meas
ure had been changed in such a man
ner as to give the United States mills
a better chance in the market than
foreign mills through the classifica-
ton of the goods.
To Put on the Free List.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
by Messrs. Cooper (TeXas) and Webb
On. C.) to place in the free list raw
cotton and cotton waste imported into
the Philippines from the United States
and Spain, the latter country being in.
cIuded so as not to violate the terms
of the treaty Of Paris regarding dis
elimination.
Mr.. Webb supplemented his amend
ment by declaring it to be not right
for the House to coop up and confine
the American cotton grower to only
a few markets. The amendment, he
said, was about the only crumb that
could be thrown TO the Southern cot
ton growers.
In Offering an amendment to remove
the tax on yarns, Mr.. Webb called at
tention to the promise of the Presi-
dent. made yesterday to Southern mill
owners. to assist them in their efforts
to increase the market for American
cotton abroad, and said that an oppor-
tunity was presented by the bill to do
so.
Mr.. Payne maintained that if adopt
ed the amendment would make the
bill one sided. other products not be-
ing accorded the same privilege.
The An,cfaiDlent Defeated.
The amendment was defeated 95 to
99
The bill was about to be passed
when Mr.. Cooper (TeXas) moved to re-
commit it with instructions to place
cotton and cotton manufacturers, iron.
leather. etc, on the free list, which
was lost.
Immediately after the Philippine
tariff bill was disposed of the House
took up the River and Harbor Appro-
priation Bin. but it was soon laid
aside, and several measures We're pass
cd, the most important of which was
the, authorization given the Secretary
of War to return to the several States
Union and Confederate battle flags.
The House adjourned until tomor-
row.

Birmingham. Ala, Feb. 21.-Of the
tered the mines yesterday afternoon
when one-fourth of that towns popu
lation was decimated, so far only fifty
bodies have been recovered. AS time
grows. notwithstanding the heroic ef-
forts on the part of the rescuerS to
reach the entombed men, the recovery
already of fifty dead bodies precludes
any idea that life may still remain
among the unfCrtunates.
With the first ominous rumble of the
coming catastrophe by common inn
pulse. every one in the village rushed
TO the mouth of the main slope, fear
struggling against hope for the safety.
CT loved ones. The scenes at the mines
this afternoon were the most grue-
some and narrowing that have eyer
been witnessed in the mining section of
Alabama The corpses were frightful-
ly mangled and disfigured and identifi-
cation is almost impossible. Many OF
the bodies are SO bruised, twisted and
discolored that negroes cannot be told
from white men.
All day long at the mouth of the
mine were waiting and moaning wo-
men and children whose relatives were
among the unfortunates. One hum
dred children are left destitute and
without means of support by the ca
lamity.
AS the bodies of the victims, which
in many cases have been gathered to-
gether n piece at a time, are brought
to the surface thev are placed in rows
On a rough improvised platform.

Late this afternoon the anbulanceS
began the removal of those SO far re-
covered to Bessemer.
Since the list of dead will probab-
Is go to one hundred and sixty the
local undertakers have wired to adj
joining cities for collins, as 1t was
found there were not enough suitable
collins in the district to bury the VIC
Tins.
Out of the fifty bodies recovered ore
was found about 4 o'clock this after
noon which was barely alive. The
body was carefully taken from the
mine and heroic methods resorted to
to bring the man to consciousness. He
is still alive. but scant hope is held out
for his recovery.
President Flynn. of the United
Mine-w workers. said to the Associated
Press tonight:
II shall be surprised if n single per-
son escapes alive from that mine. Ven
t:lation is very difficult and if the men
wero not killed by the explosion they
have certainly suffocated by the gases.
The bodies so far reached were in the
main slope and it will be several days
before we can get to the rooms which
branch off from the main slope.
President Flynn worked all last
night with a pick and shovel at the
mine and other mine officials were
among the leaders in the rescue work.
Conspicuous among these was w. Il.
Farley. member of the National Exec
utive Board of the United Mine-work-
ers from Alabama.
