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.

I of the principle of the open door In
China, and while expressing great sus
, plcion that R • sian diplomacy has left
some troublesome condition in reserve,
they are inclined to believe that Secretary
Hay is too asttte to be put off with a

The Daily Graphic says:
■’While the realization of the policy
which Mr. Hay has pursued with such
signal ability is perhaps still remote,
the concession obtained is valuable as

OPEN DOOR IN MANCHURIA.
■ Statement Is Made by the Russian
Foreign Office.
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. "It is gather

. munieations received at Washington that

on the same day Mr. Riddle was in
-1 formed by the Russian minister of for
eign affairs that, in view of the p:ib
lloations which had appeared in the
n-wspaiers the Russian government
wished to notify him that the proposed
petition would not be roe- :ved under
any circumstances and that this resolu
tion of the Russian government was
taken independent of any consideration
f the substance or the terms of the pe
tition. On the receipt of this informa
t. >n the secretary of state addressed the
f Hawing letter to Messrs. Strauss, Wolff
and Levy:
"Sirs: I am dire'ted ly the president
to acquaint you that this department is
informed by the American embassy in
St Petersburg that the imperial govern
ment of Russia has declined to receive
! or consider the petition in relation to
ondition ■ ' ■ Jews in :. . ■ .
which was addressed to his majesty, the
emperor, by a large number of citizens
of the United States, and which th *
department, by direction of the president
I and at your request, undertook to trans
mit to its high destination. I am. sirs,
vorv respectfully yours,
"JOHN HAY.”
Rooseveit Not Surprised.
Oyster Bay, L. I . 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.

COTTON FIELDS BEING RAIDED
801 l Weevil and Caterpillar Doing
Damage in Alabama.
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
