the control of the finances of that
publuic, with a view to setting aside
portion of the revenues of the Re-
public for the payment of its debts.

ffPEACE NO LONGER A THEORY.
St. Petersburg States That Question
* Has Assumed Practical Shape.
_ St. Petersburg, March 28.—Russia
•has outlined the conditions under
which sbe is prepared to negotiate
peace. It was stated last night, with
every semblance of authority, that,
thanks to the good offices of the
United States and France, the ques-
tion of peace has assumeu practical
shape.

America's Share.
^ Washington: Diligent inquiry last
night failed to develop what, if any,
assistance this government had been
in the way of bringing about pre-
liminary negotiations for peace be-
tween Russia and Japan, but inasmuch
aa heariy all the American officials
likely to have knowledge of such a mat-
ter were at social functions or were
otherwise inaccessible, the inquiry nec-
essarily was not complete. It is kuown
that this government for a long time
has stood prepared to use its good of-
fices in the interest of peace when-
ever the opportune moment arrived
for action by this government with-
out serious risk of'giving offe.se to
either of the combatants and thereby
lessening our power for good.
sent for nomination fcy too President
of the Dominican Republic men to act
in the positions. referred to, in both
tne northern amksouthern ports. The
utmost care will, of course, be taken
to choose men of capacity and abso-
lute integrity who, if possible, shaii
have some knowledge of Spanish. All
the moneys collected from both th-.
northern and southern ports not turn-
ed over to the Dominican Government
will be deposited in some New York
bank to be designated by the Secre-
tary of War, and will there be kept un-
til the Senate has acted. If the Sen-
ate’s action is adverse the money will
then be turned over to the Dominican
Government. If it is favorable it wn.
be distributed among the creditors in
proportion to their just claims under
the treaty.
“Meanwhile Mr. Hollander will
thoroughly investigate these claims,
including the claim of the American
improvement Company, and will re-
port in detail all the information he
is able to gather as to the amount ac-
tually needed by Santo Domingo, the
amount of its indebtedness nominally
incurred, the circumstances, so far as
they ^re known, under which the
various debts were incurred, and so
forth.*
“This action is rendered necessary
by the peculiar cirmustances of the
case.' The treaty now before the Sen
ate was concluded with Santo Domin-
go at Santo IDominga’s earnest re-
quest, repeatedly pressed upon us, and
was submitted to the Senate because
in my judgment it was our duty to our
less fortunate neighbor to respond to
her call for aid, inasmuch as we were
the only Power which could give this
aid, and inasmuch as her need for it
was very .great. The treaty is now
before the Senate and has been favor-
ably reported by the Committee on
Foreign Relations. It is hoped final
and favorable action will be taken
when Congress convenes next fall.
Meanwhile Santo Domingo has request-
el that the action above outlined be
taken; that is, she desires In this way
to maintain the status quo, so that
if the treaty ie ratified it can be exe-
cuted.
“With this purpose in view, I di-
rect that the proposed agreement be ;
approved. It will terminate as soon >
as the Senate has acted one way or
the other.

Battle Flags Received.
Gaton Rouge, La.: Louisiana battle-
flags held by the department of War
and the property of this state under
recent act of congress reached the
state capital today by express.
Governor Blanchard has suggested
to the Confederate organizations in
New Orleans to arrange appropriate
ceremonies for receiving the flags into
the state and make it a date in his-
tory.
Gen. Booth, in response to the Gov-
ernor’s suggestion, has called a special
meeting of his staff to arrange for

Mrs. Chadwick's trial began’March
8 and the jury returned a verdict of
guilty on March 11.
The first disclosure of Mrs. 'Chad-
wick's remarkable financial caieer
was made win n a suit was brought
by Herbert D. Tv >vton of Brookline,
Mass., last December to recover the
sum of $190,800 said to have been
loaned by Newton to Mrs. Chadwick.
Shortly after the beginning of the
suit Mrs. Chadwick went to New York
state penitentiary.
A sentence of ten years was im-
posed on her by Judge Robert L.
Taylor in the United States District
Court at 5 p. m. yestereday. The
sentence came at the close of a busy
day for the court, in hearing argu-
ments on a motion for a new trial
which lasted all day. The motion
was overruled.
Mrs. Chadwick was convicted on
seven counts and sentenced upon six
counts. For four of these counts a
sentence of two years each was im-
posed. Upon two counts a sentence of establishing herself in quick succession j ident of the Southern Cotton Associa-
Thc National Cotton Association,
which was organized at Shreveport,
La., Doc. 11, 1904, was dissolved on
March 20th at Fort Worth, and its
work merged into the Southern Cot-
ton Association, which was created by
the New Orleans convention January
2G, 1905. Col. E. S. Peters, of Calvert,
Texas, and Mr. Oswald Wilson, of
Fort Worth, wore the president and
secretary respectively of the National
Cotton Association.
The merger of the two associations,
which culminated March 20th at Fort
Worth, under an agreement which
was entered into by Col. E. S. Peters,
president of the National Cotton Asso-
with a retinue of servants, and after j elation, and Hon. Harvie Jordan, pres-
one year each was imposed, making a|
total sentence of ten years.
As soon as the sentence was pro-
nounced Attorney J. P. Dawley of the

New York was finally arrested there
on December 15 by Federal officials.

MOSCOW NOBILITY ACT.
They Say the Ruler and People Should
Be in Closer Touch.
Moscow, March 28.—A meeting of
the nobility of the government of Mos-
cow, in which there were participating
also representatives of the nobility
from various sections of Russia, has
pronounced against Constitutional Gov-
ernment of the kind enjoyed by the
nations of Western Europe, consider-
ing such conditions unsuitable to this
country on account of the geographical
and ethnological conditions of Russia
and the political developments of the
Russian people. The nobles are of
the opinion that some degree of pop-
ular representation should be present-
ed, but there should be no limitation
of autocracy but of administrative ar-
bitrariness and that the ruler of the
people should be brought into closer
touch.
The bar at Moscow at a meeting
adopted a resolution calling lor a
popular assembly to formulate a Con-
stitution defining and limiting the
governmental systems. The meeting
also advocated the formation of a civ-
ic militia for the protection of the
citizens and controlled by municipali-
ties of Zemsvos to which control of
the police should also he transferred.

state and territory in the South will
be thoroughly combined under its
splendid system of reorganization.
The merger Is very gratifying to the
officers of the Southern Cotton Asso-
ciation, in view of the fact that Col.
E. S. Peters, who was president of
the National Cotton Association, is
also vice president of the Southern
Cotton Association, and who will now
have have active charge of the work
of the latter association west of the
Mississippi river.
The consolidation of the two asso-
ciations will avoid any friction in the
the future and eliminate confusion
which has existed in the minds of the
business people with reference to the
two .associations, both, apparently,
working to the Same end. The JSouth-.
ern Cotton Association looks to the
combined organization of the entire
people of the South, including not only-
farmers. but every allied business in-
terest. The great object of the South-
ern Cotton Association is to protect
and safeguard the cotton crop of the
South from the devastating bear raids

pressed th§, price of the staple in the
past.
The South’s supremacy agricultur-
ally, commercially, industrially and
financially are the four great planks
in the platform of the Southern Cotton
Association, and in the success of its
work the association calls to its aid
and co-operation not only farmers, but
every merchant, banker and allied bus-
iness interest in the South.
The success of the Southern Cot-
ton Association has been very marked
in all of the old states east of the
Mississippi river and in Arkansas.
There can be no question that the en-
tire business and farming element in
the great state of Texas will quickly
take hold of this movement and in
the near future it is confidently pre-
dicted that the membership of the
association will exceed in Texas the
membership in any other_state or
territory throughout the cotton belt
The consolidation of the two associa-
tions guarantees perfect harmony for
the future, and indicates more than
all things else, that the officers of the
two associations are more deeply in*
terested in the success of the people
of the South than any advancement of
the personal interest of anj^ particu-
lar association. The president of the
Texas Association, Mr. R. F. Smith,
of Sherman, will be supplied with an
abundance of literature of all kinds
needed in the county and civil sub-
division organizations, and each coun-
ty can secure all the supplies needed
by writing to the state secretary, Mr.
W. C. Hutchinson, Dublin, Texas.
The department of publicity west of
the Mlssisippi river will be under the
direction of Col. E. S. Peters, vice pres-
ident of the Southern Cotton Associa-
tion, whose headquarters are at Cal-
vert, Texas.
The entire press of the state and of
the South is earnestly requested to
aid the movement in every way pos-
sible, and the officers of the Associa-
tion beg to convey their high appre-
ciation at this time for the splendid
interest manifested by the Southern
press and the great and valuable aid
which has rendered the movement
through that source up to the present
time.
Killed by a Fall.
Maxahachie, Texas: An accident oc-
