Sear~ia Cotton Growing Affected By
 Lack of Hands.
 Atlanta, Ga, June 24-The constitu- tion,g reports from the southeastern cotton belt shows that the cotton crop is in good condition and we'll advane- ed. in some cases blooms being reported.
 The recent heavy to excessive rains renorted from all sections have caused much growth of grass. There Is a general complaint of scarcity of labor and in many instances, women and chill dren are working in the fields.
 Tn Georgia the past week conditions have been favorable in spite of exces- sive rains earlier in the month, the crop is in good condition but farmers are having trouble In keeping the grass chopped out. Cotton has begun to bloom in the southern part of the State and aside from the fact that farmers fear q scarcity of labor. the outlook is en- couraging.
 In South Carolina recent heavy rains are reported to have damaged the crop As least 20 per cent, but with favorable weather from now on the balance oe the crop will not suffer. The greatest problem now confronting the farmer is that of labor Woman and children are mostly seen in the fields Continued wet weather has resulted in suspension of field work and consequently grass has gained much headway. Recent heavy rains In North Carolina have been very beneficial and the plant is now in fair condition.
 Blooms are reported In the southern and eastern portions of tae State. La- bor is scarce and more unreliable than ever before.
 Tn Florida the present aver age condition Is good and with the exception of a few localities where rains have been excessive, the crop is free from grass. Weather condi- tions are favorable but there is a scar city of labor.

Called Inmates Of Town Together For
 LOOtlnE Purposes. Mexico City.

JOINED IN CHORUS
CONSERVATIVE CENTRIsT PARTY DEMANDS G0REMYKIN's
 WITHDRAWAL.
Wise Men Laugh at Reports That Cxar will Dissolve SonrIIament-WOuId Be Fatal To The Em-
 piFe.

St Petersburg, June 24-The con- servative party in the council of the empire organized recently with the purpose of attempting to supplant the Goremykin ministry by cabinet chos- en from the Octoberists. the democratic reform and the constitutional demo- ocratic parties have joined in the chorus demanding the resignation of the Cabinet.
 M. Yermoloff, formerly Minister of Aerioulture. gave out an interview to- dav saving that the present situation Is imnossIble and it is evident that the present ministry can do nothing for the pacifcation of the country and should he replaced by a Cabinet in which the more moderate elements of Parliament are given places.
 M Yermoloff laughed at reports of the dispersal of Parliament which he says would be. not only fatuous, but fatal. to the court factions. He ex- pressed confidence that the Government would soon be striving to effect an un- derstanding with Parliament.
 should the sentiment of the Centrist Party be formally accepted by the Council of the Empire 1t would be i'm nossible for Emperor Nicholas to dis regard 1t. There are indications that Premier Goremykin Is wearying of his position, but the retirement of the Cab met is apparently not matter of the immediate future; and reports publish ed abroad that the ministers all wish 10 resign but that the Emperor cannot decide to accept their resignations are untrue.
 The reports of the Parliamentary Commission and Minister of the Interior Stolpyin's representative, M. Frisch, on the conditions in Bialystok have borne prompt fruit. General Bader. who as governor General and eommandant, was accused of laxity in restoring order, has been supplanted by General Boliaeffsky, the resignation of Governor Kister has not been accepted and the slated pro- motion of Prefect shermatleff is said to have been abandoned.
