In the South.

Washington, April 20.--After years
of unsuccessful effort to introduce
Egyptian cotton into the United States,
the bureau of plant industry of the de
partment of agriculture reports that
promising results have been secured in
New Mexico and Arizona Several
million dollars worth of Egyptian cot

the Department to develop its cultiva-

Of Cornell. experimental with the
Egyptian plant in South Carolina and
Northern Georgia, but the climate in
those sections proved too severe. Hy-
birds cultivated by DR.. Weber also
were unsuccessful. 1t Is still believed,
however, that the plant can be success
fully cultivated in Northern Florida
and Southern Georgia. The expert
ments of DR.. Carson. of the department
of agriculture, in the Colorado River,
basin within the past few years, have
proved successful as much as nine
hundred pounds of lint having been Sc
cured from one acre last year.

Assured That Pres. Roosevelt
Scents Troubles and
Needs Four Ships.

ASSERTED THE TRADE CoNDI.
TiONS ARE BAD THERE, DUE TO
JAPAN AND RUSSIA AND &C.
TON MUST BE TAKEN.

Washington, April 2O-That Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Root are
seriously disturbed because congress
will not provide four battleships at
The prevailing talk here is that the
trouble involves our relations in Man
churia. Persons usually well inform
Cd say that Russia and Japan practic-
ally have seized the entire territory for
trade purposes; that they have ignored
the rights of China: that China thus is
not permitted to shape an Open-dOOr
policy, and that. because of the secret
agreement between Russia and Japan
American manufacturers are being
crowded from the position which they
won in the markets of southern Man
churia.
There have been continuous negotia-
lions between the United States and
China, between this country and Rus
STA, and between the United States and
Japan in respect of the complaints re-
ceived China. it is understood has
said that the treaty rights have been
violated, that Russia is taking all the
trade north Of LiaO Yang and Japan
everything south of that point in the
richest rovince of the Chinese empire.
President ROOsevelt's policy is to
build four first-ca battleships now
and have two others provided for next
year, in order 10 meet the crisis which
he believes will come in the trade rela-
tons of this country with several of
the maritime provinces of China.
1t is understood that the republican
leaders in the senate and house agree
with the main policy of President
Roosevelt. calling for the enforcement
of a fair deal in Manchuria. but that
they do not agree on the necessity for
battleships to bring about a recognition
of our rights.
1t is the intent of congress to do as
little of the big stick business with
other nations as possible. and to win
Victories of peace rather than of war.

A Lost Bank Note.

A friend OF mine. writes n Scottish
correspondent, recently saw piece OF
paper lying on the street lie picked
It up. 1t was a one pound note. some
men might have pOcketed IT, with
smile OF satisfaction. My friend. how
ever. honestly handed 1t oyer to the
police. A short time after~ard he dis
covered that he himself had lost q
pound. lie thought over the matter
aud remembered that before finding
the note he had been standing ON the
.dge Of the pavement for some time.
1t slowly dawned upon him that the
mound he had found was his own and
that he had drawn 1t from his pocket
unconsciously. He went back prompt
" TO the police station and explained
the circumstance. The officer In charge
only shook his head and smiled In
credulousIy. Very clever" he said.
"but-eh-lt will scarcely do" II my
friend cared 10 call back at the end OF
six months, he was Informed, he would
get the pound II In the Interval 1t had
not been claimed. During this time
OF waiting he il inclined TO mediate
as to whether honesty is always the
best policy.-London y. T. D.
