Chicago, Dec "A dispatch to the Record-Herald from Fort Worth, Tex, says:
 At a conference yesterday be- tween Malcolm Graham, represent ing Galveston banking houses, and President D. J. Neill of the Farmers union, arrangements were made to finance the entire cotton crop or Texas on very liberal terms. Under the new arrangements the farmer can ship his cotton to Galveston and re- ceive an advance payment in New York exchange at once. If he wants the cotton held subject to his order the bankers will advance him $2O a bale, if left to be sold at their dis cretion he will receive $50 a bale, and if to be shipped to foreign mar kets he will receive an advance of S35 a bale. This arrangement IS only a detail in the fight for 15-cent cotton being carried on by the Farm CTS union. It is believed that the announcement Of this arrangement will start movement of the cotton crop all over Texas.

A Curt Reply,

A story is told of Professor Mason when editor of Macmillan's Magazine. It refers to the days when Kingsley and Newman were engaged in their famous pamphlet war. Conscious of the excellence, of an article on the sub. ject of the controversy which he had written in the magazine, Mason ven- tured to bring 1t under the notice of Newman, but he was not prepared for the reply he received, although he aft. erward spoke of it with philosophio humor. Newman's laconic message was in words such as these: q have not heard of your magazine, and your name conveys no impression to my mind. d."-Westminster Gazette.

nias delegation to the convention and would have left Senator Knox without his sixty-eight delegates from his own state.
 As soon as this possibility was dfs- covered the Pennsylvania men got busy with members of the national committee to make sure that the rules would be altered to allow the delega- tions from Pennsylvania and Wiscon- sin to take their seats.
 Earlier in the day it had practically been decided not to alter the rules and to allow the La Toilette men from Wisconsin to shift for themselves.
 Under the rules of the committee delegates to the national convention must be elected by congressional dis trict conventions and can be admit ted only on presentation of such ere dentials. Under the primary law of Wisconsin all delegates must be elect ed by the voters in primaries. This law was devised by La Toilette and expressly forbids election of delegates by district conventions.
 When the committee met Repre- sentative Cooper appeared to appeal for a change in the rules of the con- mittee which would allow delegates elected by direct vote of the people to take their seats. The committee re- fused to hear him. and the intention was to make no change in the rules.
 Those are La Toilette men any how" said one of the committeeman, "and it was up to him to consider our rules before putting such a law into effect. That's his affair. not ours."
 The Wisconsin representatives were unable to change this sentiment. After the programme was carefully prepared Representative Burke of Pittsburg, chief custodian of the Knox boom, sud denly remembered the new primary law in his state. He wasn't sure about its provisions. so some of his friends agreed to look it up.
 Burke was speeches. for few mo- ments when he discovered that 1t was identical in every respect with the Wisconsin law. Instantly there was change. The Knox men got together and began to work on a change in the rules which will admit delegates not elected by the machine.
 me assembling Of the committee at the White House is described as one of the most frigid. formal meetings the committee has held in years.
 The members assembled in the presi- dents office. and after waiting a few minutes Harry s. New. the new chair man. brought the president before them. They received him in absolute silence.
 The president made a brief speech thanking them for the work done in the last campaign Mir. New then un- dertook to introduce them to the presi- dent. but he waved New aside T know them all.- he said as he began to shake their hands
