SIONS CONCLUDED.
BY Associated Press.

Hot Springs Sept S.-The executive
committee of the Southern Cotton AS
ISOLATION concluded its sessions this
afternoon and adjourned subject to
the call of president Harvie Jordan.
The principal business transacted
today was the considering OF a reso
luton looking to the formation of q
corporation of one hundred million
dollars capital to take care of dis
tressed" cotton in the South. The
shares CT stock are placed at five dol
lars each and he resolution provided
for opening the books of subscription
il, each county of the cotton belt. The
resolution was passed over as 'unfln-
ished business" but committee was
named to prepare a charter and pro-
coed with the organization.
President Jordan, explaining the
plan, said the object was to buy cot
ton in the open markets when onered
below the price fixed as minimum
ty the association, store Il in ware
houses and hold 1t until the minimum
price was offered The corporation is
to take such cotton when forced On
the market by those unable to carry
it and meet maturing obligations.
BY this plan cotton forced on the
market would be kept out OF the hands
of the spinners and exporters and the
Legitimate law of 'suegly and demand
would regulate prices. It Is believed
it would protect the growers in main
tanning a fair and profitable price for
cotton.
president Jordan said the committee
had made no estimate on the proba-
BILE crop as it was too early. but from
reports received it was evident the
crop had greatly deteriorated within
the past two weeks.

Richard T. Greener United States consul
to Vladivostok. Russia. in an address last
night before literary society of the Met
ropolitan A. NJ. E. Church attacked Senator
Tillman of South Carolina for his anti
negro speeches. On every occasion of the
mention of Mr.. Tilimans name the au-
dience Kissed.
Mr.. Greener said: Imagine state like
South Carolina. after having her Calhoun
and her McDuffy. to be obliged to submit
to be represented in the great body Of the
Senate by a man of the character and base
ness of Tillman.
II say that ] myself scorn to smite him
in his weakness. The colored people of the
United States are giving his infiammable
speeches too much Importance"
He also denounced the efforts of the
southern states. in which he said: "a Rus
sian Jew, In all his poverty and ignorance,
can come TO this country and enjoy the
name of being an American citizen. Is this
the same case with the men who are ma
tive-born American citizens. and men who
have by their feats of arms defended this
nation. and are today willing to give their
lifes blood for its protection?"
He closed his address by denouncing the
action of the President In dismissing the
colored troops from the army.
