throughout the South during the week,
and this was in the main favorable to
cotton, which has suffered in the past
from lack of growing weather. Cool
nights in the central belt seemed about
the only drawback to most rapid
growth, though excesstve rains at some
polnts-m the eastern belt were re-
ported against the crop.
Rains at the end of the preceding
week or during the week under review
were beneficial, and only to southern
and western Texas is the crop suffering
for lack of moisture. There good rains
would be very beneficial, especially in
view of the high temperatures which
have prevailed. In other sections of
Texas some rain has fallen during the
week. The boll weevil is reported
more numerous and active throughout
the state

plant is old enough to fruit the act is
being well performed.

has been generally received with calm-
ness. though there is some surprise in
certain quarters well versed in diplo-
matic niceties. It is said that the sud-
den change of programme in the case
of the Japanese training squadron last
January, when it was first intended
that its voyage should include San
Francisco and other Pacific coast cities,
was evidently in deference to the
wishes of the Washington government,
made known to the Toklo authorities in
an indirect but unmistakable manner.
The change of route was decided upon
only a couple of days bofyo the squad-
ron sailed. 2" -
It was thought then that Japan acted
wisely to avoiding a course which
might have proved Injurlous when a
strong anti-Japanese feeling was pre-
vailing In San Francisco. Though of-
ficially stated that the dispatch of the
battleships to the Pacific ie not di-
rected toward Japan, it is felt here that
it is most inopportune when an attempt
is evidently going on to impair the tra-
ditional friendship between Japan and
the United State*. Though the slight-
est apprehension is not entertained
here, It is thought it would be better
to defer at this moment anything that
would be open to the slightest suspicion

New Orleans, July 7.—The Picayune

Uninterrupted drouth of the cotton
crop, with weather eonditions all that
could be desired, is indicated in reports
to ths Picayune from correspondents
throughout Louisiana and the southern
half of Mississippi for the ‘week ending
today. The plant is absolutely free
from grass and weeds and shows vior-
ous progress and healthy rrmatioh.
Locai showers tell in a number of sec-
tions, aiding field work by loosening
the soil and making it more adaptable
to tilling. The plant is rapidly recu-
perating the six or eight weeks tost
during the earile part of the season,
and all indications point to a normal
crop, providing the season continues
with the same favorable weather con-
ditions as shown, during the last two
weeks.

wished to study carefully.
That is the Gemerl Yiew Held by the

Ths Hague July 7.—The general sen-
timent of the delegates to the peace
conference regarding the question that
has arisen between the United States
and Japan is that the situation is un-
fortunate for both countries, as the
original incident causing tension be-
tween the two countries is dispropor-
tionate to the grave results which may
follow. The question, the delegatee
tink, is likely to create a hostile t-
mosph:re, endangering their reciprocal
commerce, to which former friendly re-
lattons has opened vast fields.
Although the sending'of a fleet by
the United States to the Pacific coast
cannot be interpreted as a threat. it is
generally admitted here that such ac-
tion may give rise to dangerous popular
exertement which ths administration at
washington might not be able to con-
trol.

Oyster Bay, N. Y,-July 7 —The sig-
hificance of Rear Admiral Brownson’s
addition to the somewhat meager in-
formation which has come from Presi-
dent Roosevelt regarding the contem-
plated two-ocean maneuver of the At-
lantic battleship fleet is regarded here
as havins"been overlooked in comment,
"expert and otherwise, which has been
indulged in on both continents. Ad-
miral Brownson came to Oyster Bay
Friday to take lunch with the Presi-
dent, professing entire ignorance of the
maneuver plana When he left Saga-
more Hill for, the train for Washington
the admiral had one thought which he
wished emphasised—that it was de-
sirable and important to demonstrate
to the world how quickly the Ameri-
can navy could transfer its fighting
strength from one ocean to the other.
This was distinctly an addition to the*
President’s previous statement issued
through Secretary Loeb, wherein the
object of the maneuver was said to
be an exercise movement for the bene-
fit of the navy to perfect its training in
fleet exercise on an extended scale, the
purpose and effect of the plan betog
for the benefit of the navy alone.
What came from President Roosevelt
through Admiral Brownson is decided-
ly a different and much broader de-
sign. President Roosevelt has been
consistent in advocating a large navy
as the surest guarantee of peace be-
tween the United States and all foreign
powers. Heretofore a large navy has
been reckoned solely from the point of
view of the number of ships, their ton-
nage, armor, guns and fighting capac-
ity. With this idea the American navy
has grown steadily.
Startling Demonstration.
To the somewhat uninteresting array
of ships and tonnage, President Roose-
velt proposes to give the world a some-
what startling demonstration of what
the American navy is capable of doing
to protect either or both extended
shores of the United States As Admi-
ral Brownson said: "There is no time
like thi present for such a demonstra-
tion. a time when the United States to
at perfect peace with every nation."
In everything that has come, from
the President regarding the movement,
it has been advocated that the fleet,
wherever It may go, is to be brought
back to the Atlantic, and that the re-
turn is to be as great a demonstration
of, speed as the outward journey.
While It is asserted that there is no
foundation for Apprehension of trouble
in the immediate future between the
United States and Japan, the proposed
demonstration with the fleet can be
looked upon in no other light than that.
President Roosevelt intends to ussedr
laden with passengers who were en:
joying an outing, an open trolley car
jumped ths track just outwide the eity
limits tonight and crashed over an
embankment, instantly killing two, fa-

European Dtplomatints Think 3 Uh
Too Heavily la Debt toFizh
London, July T.—The present 1 lion j
between the United States and J4 l is |
exciting the keenest interest ahong
all the European diplomatlots. None
of them, however, believe it will roach
the stage of warfare because the heavy
burden of debt Japan is carrying as a
result of her failure to obtaln ndemity
from Russia forbids her embarking on
a similar costly enterprse to the next
decade. It is recognised, nevertheless,
that the United States to arousing the
enmity of Japan as one of her natural
assets may have a handicap in the event
of trouble with any foreign power.
Great Britain finds herself in an em-
barrassing position also, because she
is obliged to stand between her col-
oniea and the matter of anti-Japanese
laws. The Transvaal has just put into
operation a law regulating the entry
of Asiatics, which applies to Indian sub-
jects as well as to the Japanese and
Chinese, and which compels them to
submit to aa examination and registry
with thumb prints, like eriminals,
which is exceedingly irritating to them.
Australia threatens examination on the
same lines. Alfred Deakin, the Austra-
lian premier, during his recent visit to
England, repeatedly said in his speehes
that the chief national question with
which Australia must deal was the
menace of the inflow of Japanese labor.
Ne Overtures Made «e Mexteo for Tarai

Washington, July ?.—Acting Secre-
tary of Etale Adee tonight denied that
the United tates govern me nt had malle
any overture* or contemplated any for
| the purchase from Mexico of a naval
| site on Magdalen bay in Lower Calitor-
nla The government has so idea of
distinguished naval officer today He
was referring to th* two great, 20,000
ton battleships, contracts for which
have just been provintonally awarded,
and which were mentioned to the con-
gresalonal debatee and newspapers ot
th* "Dreadnought cinsw. "The new
whips should be called ‘the Delaware
claws, for without knowing what th*
second rhip to to be called, the first
vessel of th* kind eually fixes ths
name of the einas, and Beeretary Met-
calf has chrietened nuumber two ‘the
Delaware," " said the officer The of-
fleer then pointed out the difference
between the Engifwh Dreadnought and
the American Delaware elasses, going
into some detail* a* to the plane for
the latter, which It to not deemed polite
by the navy department to make public
even at this late date Generally
eta tod, the salient points of dMference
were to be found to ths arrangements
of the armament The 12-inch guns
of the British vessels are carried in
two turrets on the contral Hnes from
the bow to stern and in two "waist"
or side turrets; while the guns of the
Delaware type'* are placed in tear
turrets in lne with the keel The ag-
•-sincerely wish to reach an under-
standing and will not be influenced by
jngoism.
Some of the Germans here are of the
pinion that the situation may lead to
an American-German entente, which,
while preventing the isolatton of Ger-
many, would be the strongest compact
