D0UMA IS JUBILANT
COUNCIL OF EMPIRE AGREES WITH
 HOUSE.
Taken As Indication That Nobles Lack Confidence Tn the Goremykin MiniMtry--Cxar Only wait
 ing On Details.

St. Petersburg, July 15.--The Coun- ell of the Empires acceptance without amendment on Saturday of pariia- ments bill appropriating s7.5oo,ooo famine relief came as surprise but has occasioned the greatest jubilation in the camp of the lower house. and it Is regarded as q vote of lack of confidence in the Goremylsin ministry on the part of the upper chamber.
 While many of the speakers in the council of the empire really favored adoption of the cabinets recommerda- tons, they recognize that 1t would be a fatal mistake for the council to an- tagonixe the lower house in the pres ent crisis. Moreover, those on the in- side who were aware that the negotia- tions between the government and the constitutional Democrats were enter ing the final stage naturally were in- fluenced by coming events.
 According to tonight's reports all the questions of principle involved of change of a minority has resolved and now it is merely a matter of psr- sonafities, The emperor Is still ob, jecting to certain names proposed by the constitutional Democrats.
 Admiral skrydlon probably will sue ceed the late vice admiral Chounkin commander of the Black Sea fleet The agrarian commission of the lower house in deference to the firm protest of the group of toll has reJected the proposal of M Kutliarevsky of Saratov, to place in the agrarian bill provi- sion exempting from appropriation land and stock companies and lands like vineyards, fruit orchards, otc., under special cultivation.

COTTON CROP
 CONDITIONS Week Was WostFavor-
 ab!e, ,ne THE RAlE' WERE oPPoRTUNE Plae's Many Sections is Now Far
 Advanced. Sunshine Following Heavy showers Stimulated Growth and Supply of
 Labor Has Been Greatly In- creased in south. 
THE RAlE WERE 0PPoRTUNE

Memphis. Tenn. July 15.--The Com mercial-Appears weekly cotton crop summary for the central belt Is as fol- lows:
 "The prepondcrance of evidence de- noted that the week was favorable one to the cotton crop. Rains were quite general and. except in few To- calities. extremely beneficial In many sections they came most opportunely. namely. in West Tennessee and North ern and Western Alabama preventing a setback threatened there by reason of the absence of rain for consid- erable period.
 The only sections from which com plaint comes of excessive rainfall are some bottom lands in Mississippi and Arkansas, where the rainfall was in excess of that generally prevailing over any. considerable district. Corre- spondents state that sunshine follow ing what has been wet and cloudy week will impart great life and vigor to the growth. In most sections light showers in the early week followed by a heavy general rain at the weeks close, furnished the moisture.
 So far there is scarcely any com plaint regarding the lack of cultiva- ton and the generally clean state of the crop which has been one of the sea- sons leading characteristics, with a few local exceptions. Is notably well maintained.
 Complaints of scarcity of labor have disappeared now, as the cultivation is nearing completions In many sections another week will witness the final working out of the cotton. She pros pective yield is often spoke of, how ever, as threatening scarcity Of ia- bor in the picking season.
 Bolls are becoming numerous. and in some of the earlier fields have at tained good size. The cotton plant is fruiting well and the stalk has to date not made very rapid growth, being still a little undersfzed, but very healthy and free from Insect or rust damage. Correspondents note an excellent, and in many casesy an assufed outlook for the corn crop.

 Mrs E. W. Pettus, wife of Senator D. w Pettus of Alabama. died at the home of her distinguished husband, on Alabama street at 4:3o o'clock this morning.
 while it has been known for some days that Mrs Pettus was critically Ill 1t was not thought by her closest friends and relatives that the end was so near and when it became known today that during the early hours of the morning she had expired all Selma was affected.
 Mrs. Pettus was taken sick in Wash fngton about two months ago and as she did not improve in health she was accompanied to her home in Selma about three weeks ago by Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Lacy After reaching Selma. for q few days she improved. but again she began to get worse, and Senator Pettus. who had stopped on his way home from Washington at Tate Springs for a few days came on to Selma and since then has been constantly at the bedside of his wife.
 For the past week Mrs. Pettus has been growing gradually weaker and her relatives have been constantly at her bedside administering tenderly to her every want But medical sklll could not combat with the disease with which she was afflicted, and her age was also against her in the fight, When dissolution came this morning she was surrounded by her husband and reia- tives
 Before she was married Mrs. Pettus was Miss Mary L. Chapman, daugh- ter of Judge Samuel Chapman. we'll known jurist of this State. She came of e prominent family and one which has helped very materially in the mak- ing of the history of the State in which she resided. She was married to Senator Pettus about sixty-two years ago and was a loving and devo- ted wife. She Is survived by her hus- band and two children who are Mrs Mary N. Lacy of this city and Mrs. Lucy T. Roberts of Birmingham.
 The funeral services over her re- mains will take place from the family residence tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. To the devoted husband and grisf stricken relatives the sympathy of their many friends throughout the State and country will be extended in their hour of grief.

New Orleans. July 16.-A superaban- undance of rain, with the cotton crop fruiting at a surprising pace and most all corn laid by. is the tenor of reports made to The Picayune today by corres- pondents in Louisiana and Mississip- pi on weather and crop conditions in those States for the week ending Sat urday.
 In some cotton fields the stalks are over four feet high. well branched and containing from eighty-five to l25 we'll formed bolls. and quantities of buds and blossoms. There are a few sections, notably Lincoln, Lam dry and Rapldes parishes and in the bottom lands of ouachita parish where farmers complain of too much mois- ture and state that if a dry period does not come soon the cotton plant will shed and rust materially. However, this condition is the exception.
