Gen. Miles is quoted as saying
that he believes the conflicting in

The Chinese Complication.
Though the foreign ministers and
attaches in Pekin have been releas
ed, the end of the complications
concerning China is not in sight.
"The United States and Russia
have signified their willingness to
withdraw their troops from Pekin,
and from China, when satisfactory
assurances are given ' that the gov
ernment of China is able and willing
to protect foreign interests in the
empire. These two governments al
so declare that they have no desire
or intention to acquire any portion
of Chinese territory, and that they
are unwilling that any other power
should so profit by the troubles now
existing.
Of course the question of -indem
nity must be Settled, but that cannot
be done so long as the powers fail to
agree concerning the integrity of the
Chinese Empire.
The census office announces that
if the rate of increase as shown in
the results in the thirty largest cit
ies in the country is maintained in
the rural districts, the total popula
tion of the country will be some
80,000,000. This, the bureau points
out, will necessitate an increase of
representatives in congress of about
53, if the present basis of represen
tation is maintained, making the
House both unwieldly and crowded.
An increase in the basis would re
duce the number in the House; but
would cabse certain states, presum
ably northern ones—to lose con
gressmen, a thing most, unpleasant
for these states. The bureau there
fore naively suggests that perhaps a
solution may be found by cutting
down the representation of those
southern-States that- have disfran
chised the negroes—of course with
out disturbing,the., northern states
that have disfranchised the illiterate
whites.-Washihgton Correspondent,
Cotton mill men at Columbus were
in a quandary last week. Large or
ders were received for goods, the
price offered being based on 8 cents
for raw cotton. The cotton bought
of the 1899 crop cost them an aver
age of 8 cents, but the price is now
higher, and may still increase. The
cotton on hand will not make the
goods ordered, and to make them
with cotton at 8J or higher would
cause them to Iobo money on these
orders, one of them being for $30,-
000 worth of goods.
Senoe Cisneros, ex-president of
the Cuban revolutionary govern
ment, is in the United States, and
has protested against the form of
the call for a constitutional conven

bers for participation in the conven
tion. .

take effect whenever he again drank
whiskey. Council adjourned to Tues

licensed distillery. He gave bond
last Right. Mr. Berry says he left
the business in charge of - an em
ploye, and went away to attend to
some other business, and while he
was gone the affairs of the distillery
became entangled, which accounts
for his arrest.

The subject of roller versus rock
has been discussed here. All admit
that the roller process makes the
most beautiful flour, but there are
many who contend , that np process
preserves the nutriment and flavor
of wheat as' well as the old time
rock. One man goes so far as to say
that he can tell the difference by the
taste alone. It is said that fine
feathers make fine birds, but it is
true that a pretty feather may be
plucked from a buzzard.
We have had some showers here,
but there has been no improvement
in cotton; and I see no reason to
change my estimate of 30 per cent
off from last year.
