Be Made on China.
NO AGREEMENT REACHED
As Far as the Officials Are Advised
the YUnlstera Have not Concluded
Their Labors—Settlement Believed
to Be a Long Way OIT.
Washinoton, Nov. 20.—Tho Cblnesa
situation was the main topic under con
sideration at today’s cabinet meetlu
The administration is not disposed
join with the other governments
making demands upon the Chinese .im-
perial authorities with which the Chi-
ncso government cannot comply.
So far os our government is advised,
tho foreign ministers at Peking bavi
not yet agreed npon all points undei
discussion.
Mr. Conger had reported from time U
time the various propositions under con
sideration, bat he has not yet indicated
that tho end is at hand or that anything
in tho nature of an agreement has been
reached npon which the various powers
might act and which is to serve as s
basis of negotiations with tho Chinese
authorities.
Having passed over the stage of pro
scription of tho Chinese leaders who
wore responsible for the Boxer outrages
the foreign ministers ore believed non
to bo engaged with the different sub
jects of indemnities and guarantees.
Tho last United States proposition wal
in line with that of Russia, to allow The
Hague commissioners to adjust the in
demnities. It is believed that this prop
osition has never commonded itself to
tho British or German governments.
This apparent difference in original
purposo between the United States gov
ernment and some other powers have
crated to prevent a settlement of the
ilnoso question on the lines laid down
by the state department.
It may be stated, however, rege_
of tho delays that follow, that the
United States government does not pro-
; cose to be driven out of tho concert at
this juncture.

States supremo court has rendered an
opinion in the case of William B. Ans-
tin versus the stato of Tennessee, in
volving the question ns to the recogni

tion tho validity of tho state law pro
hibiting the sale of cigarettes on the
gronnd that it was an infringement
the rights of congress to regnlate inter

HYBRIDIZATION OF COTTON
United States Official Slaking Experts
ments In South Carolina
Charleston, Nov. 21.—Herbert J.
Webber of tho United States depart
ment of agriculture, is in Charleston
making experiments in the hybridiza
tion of ootton. Experiment* ore being
conducted by Mr. Webber in different
parts of the stats and he is trying te
navo produced a cotton with long, firm
staples. He is also testing varieties ol
Egyptian cotton. The cotton growers
here, Mr. Webber rays, cannot compete
with the Egyptian cotton, bat if the ex-
pertinents of the department of agricult
ure prove successful the farmers will be
able to raise a hybrid cotton which will
bo equal to the staple from Egypt. The
department is of the opinion that this
new variety can be grown in all ports oi
tho state. A peculiar form about the
hybridization is that it develops in
creased vigor. The hybrid plant gives
a boll with more cotton in it and a boll
that can bo picked with more ease.
The agricultural department is also
investigating tho "wilt" of the sea
island plants and is trying to extermi
nate a disease which, if allowed to con
tinue, will eventnally exterminate the
cotton.
