2 MANCHURIA PORTS OPEN TO AMERICA An Agreement Has Been Reached by the United States and Russia-The Settlement Means Much to South. Cotton Goods Trade Will Be Helped. Washington, July 10.—The Manchurian question has been settled satisfactorily to this government. Assurances have been received from the Chinese govern ment that it will, in the near future, open as treaty ports several ports now closed to the world's trade. The Russian gov ernment has conveyed formal assurance to the United States government that it will not, in any way, oppose such open ing. While the ports to be opened are not yet specified, it is gathered from the communications received that they are Moukden, the principal inland port of Manchuria, and Ta Tung Kao, at the mouth of the Yalu river. It is now known that the negotiations which have terminated so successfully today, so far as broad lines are con cerned, for only details remain to be ad justed. were practically brought to their present phase by Secretary liny and Count Cassini, at a meeting nt the Rus sian embassy on June 28, the day the secretary departed for Newport, for the ambassador then had in hand the neces sary authorization from his own govern ment to make the pledges which are now in process of redemption. These pledges were reduced to writing by Mr. Hansen, the Russian charge, during his call at the state department Tuesday. It remains for Mr. Conger to define, in the trade treaty which he is negotiat ing with China, the terms and condi tions under which the now ports arc to be opened. It may be stated that had the United States government cared to pursue a selfish policy in this matter, it might easily have secured promises of special privileges from Russia Although no time is mentioned in the promise to open the ports, it is believed that this will follow soon after the Rus sian evacuation next September.

St. Petersburg, July IS.—The foreign office states that the Manchurian question has not yet reached a stage justifying a formal statement at this time. It points out that pourparlars are continuing, that the ports to be. opened have not been selected nor the details arranged. Noth ing has yet appeared in any Russian paper on cither of these questions. At first glance, the above dispatch ap pears to contradict the official announce ment made at Washington of China's "promise' to open several ports in Man : chttrla to the world's trade and Russia's L "formal assurance” of her assent. This. I however, is not the ease. The Mnshing- I ton dispatch -lid not say that the negotia tions had been concluded, or that the i norts had been specified.

July 17.—President Re sevtlt was not surprised that th® i Russian go erninent should decline to r<- ceive the D'Nai Brith petition- or any other ropro'ontations regarding the Kish inof massacre. The policy of Russia had been forecasted officially. The tone of Russia's declination was received here last night in a long telegram from Sec retary Hay. Toward midnight the presi dent sent to Secretary Hay an extended reply. The contents of neither of the messages are disclosed, although it is known that the president requested the secretary to make public the action of this government respecting the incident. President Roosevelt has no statement to make at this time regarding the mat ter. Whatever information the adminis tration may care to make public concern ing It will be given out by the state I department at YVashington. It can be said to be absolutely unlikely that fur ther efforts will be mad? io induce the Russian government to receive the peti tion. It is certain that after so frank anl unequivocal a refusal to receive the petition Russia would regard the bring ing cf pressure to bear upon her to in duce her acceptance of tfie represeuta- I tion as an act of distinct unfriendliness. As the actual presentation of the petition involved no question of principle ::nd substantially the result hoped for by the. promotion of the movement concerning the Kishinef outrages had been achieved T>y calling Russia's attention the peti tion the probabilities are that the inci dent will be considered as closed.

Montgomery, Ala., July 18.—(Special.)— A boll worm, which is believe dto be the Mexican boll weevil or caterpillar, has ap peared on the cotton in large numbers in this section. J. C. Chestnutt, a large planter resid ing at McGehee's Switch, eleven miles south of Montgomery, was in the city this morning and showed The Constitution correspondent a well-grown and fully de veloped caterpillar, which he says are appearing in great numbers on his plan tation. "I found three or four caterpillars on ' one leaf of cotton," said Mr. Chestnutt to your correspondent. "There were three 1 on the leaf I brought with me, but two of them got out of the box and got away last night. As to the boll weevil.” said Mr. Chest nutt, "I have never seen any serious de- : struction of the crop from them, that :s the kind we have had in the past; but it is the caterpilla r 1 most dread. The present crop is fullj a month behind that : : of last season, and cotton is yet young I , and tender, and the worm coming so I soon threatens great destruction of the ! crop. i "The first crop of worms seldom do 1 much damage. It is the second and third I crop.-’, when they become so numerous i that thej clean the cotton of al! foliage i quickly. ' N ", 1 have little faith in the poison I theory of getting rid of the caterpillar. ; I have never seen poison do much good, I onlv when there are pretty good size | bolls on the cotton, and than the only 1 goixd that can be accomplished is sav- ■ 1 Ing the bolls by keeping the tt arms from I eating the leaf from around the When tne leaf arou id a . is eat< the worm that boll never grows more, and seldom matures NEGF.'O LYNCHED BY NEGROES He Had Criminally Assaulted a Ne gro Woman.
