KAISER WATCHES RUSSIA.
Do Not Think Riots viii Amount to
Revolution.

Berlin, Jan. 23-Emperor William
and the members Of his encourage
stayed up late last night receiving
press and private kilograms from st.
Petersburg. The keenest interest pre-.
walls here whr Russia is probably bet.
ter understood than anywhere else be.
cause of the geographical nearness and
close business relationship.
While the outbreak is looked upon
as one which proceeded from the
hearts Of the people, the foreign of.
fee does not believe that it presages
revolution because it lacks sufi.
cient leadership, and is without ade.
quate support of the educationalists
throughout the empire.
The government control of the tel.
egraphs and railroads, make the co.
operation of the discontents impossi.
BILE. At the time of the French reVo.
luton man could walk from Bor.
deaux to Paris, but no one can walk
from Odessa to st. Petersburg and
partake in the events there. The of.
fetal view is that although any friend
of Russia must be sorroWful over the
internal situation, the Russian govern.
ment dare not drop the reins or the
horses will run away The govern.
ment to avoid anarchy must act strin.

DELEGATES ARRIVING
FOR BIG CONVENTION
Two Thousand Interested Peo.
pie Will Be Present.
TEXAS DELEGATION ENRoUTE
Many Plans Will Be Advanced for the
Betterment of the Cotton Growers.
General Plan of Organization viii
Be Mapped Out.

New Orleans, Jan. 23.-The num-
Der and character of todays arrivals
for the cotton convention tomorrow
indicate that the attendance will be
large and representative, but with so
many divergent elements of the same
interest on the ground it is too early
to forecast the probable results of
the work. Half dozen general
plans which have been widely exploit
ed are to be pressed upon the con-
vention, but the arrival of delegates
points to the submission also of many
individual plans. The nuAber of del
egates coming from each of the cot
ton states has probably been exagger-
ated, but the probability is that there
will be closed to 1000 delegates and
onlookers here, with more uniformity
of representation of the states than
was tn case at Shreveport.
President Harvie Jordan, of the
Southern Cotton Planters association
who called the convention was among
the arrivals today. He was accompa-
MED by President J. Pope Brown of
the Georgia Railway commission. Mr.
Jordan thought there would be a rep
resentation of 400 from his state Fol-
lowing the arrival of Mr. Jordan, there
was a conference to map out a general
plan of organization and work for the
convention in which President Jordan,
President E. S. Peters, of the Southern
Cotton Growers; Lieutenant Governor
Jester, of Texas; John M. Parker,
chairman of the local committee of
arrangements and others participated.
All interests seem at present to be
striving to secure a measure Of Har-
mony in the final action in the hope
that whatever plan is agreed on will
be abided by throughout the cotton
belt.

Fired on Storekeener

Columbus, Ca, Jan. 23.-W. D. Stur.
kie, a Fifth avenue storekeeper, had
quite an unusual experience. A white
man and negro walked him up at mid.

something. Being upstairs, he went
to window over them and heard them
making threats, whereupon he quiet
ly refused to come down or open the
store. When he announced that fact
one of the party fred a gun into the
window, which Sturkie had left only
q few seconds before. Sturkie was
unhurt but the window was shattered.
The police were notified but as yet
