Tokio, Jan. I. The text of articles! For the benefit of the sick and
of capitulation of the Port Arthur gar ! wounded Russians, the sanitary corps
rison, signed by the commissioners1 and the accountants belonging to thu
representing General Htoessei and
General Nog!, has been made public.
All Russian soldiers, marines and civ

The following, offered by C. II. Jen
kins, of Hrownwood, Texas, was adopt
ed:
Whereas. We believe that the inter-
state meeting of the National Cot'on
Association, to be held in New Or
leans, January 24 to 20, will show a
material reduction of cotton acreage
and a constqucnt Increase in the price
of cotton now on hand; therefore, we j
recommend that all owners of cotton permitted to retain their swords and
who can do so, hold their cotton off of j such of their personal property as Is
thi market until after said meeting.
Fop Bargains
The following on statistics on tie
niand and consumption of cotton, by
Oswald Wilson, Secretary National
Cotton Association, Fort Worth, Tex-
as, was adopted:
Whereas, The collection, compila
tion and publication of statistics on
the cotton crop of the South by the
bureau of statistics of the United
States dc partment of agriculture and
the census bureau of the department
of commerce mid labor, showing the
amount of cotton produced, is one of
the essentials to the success of thu
cotton industry; and,
Whereas The collection, compila-
tion and publication of statistics from
the cotton manufacturers, showing the
consumption of raw cotton and the de-
mand for manufactured goods are just
as essential as the statistics of pro-
duction, and necessary to give the sta-
tistics of production their full value;
and,
Whereas. The absence of authentic
information on demand and consump-
tion creates a speculative interest in-
imical to the interest of the producer,
manufacturer and consumer, creating
as wide a difference of opinion as to
the demand and consumption of cotton
as there was before the government
perfected its system of collecting sta-
tistics on the production of the crop,
therefore, lie it
ing tIi* acreage planted by them last , Resolved, That we urge congress to
year and what they think should be I amend tin laws of these two bureaus
their fair per cent of decrease tor, S(, that they may be empowered to col-
1906, on the basis of a general av |,,(.| n,1(| publish, at the same time they
erage of 25 per cent decrease, and issue reports on the production, ru-
they may give lIndr reason therefor in j ports showing both the foreign and
writing, or they may state orally tn domestic stock of old cotton on hand;
directly necessary for the maintenance
of life, and with one servant each
may. on signing their parole not to
take up arms during the continuance
of the war, return to Russia. Non
commissioned officers and privates
will lie held as prisoners.
Russian army and navy will be re-
quired to serve under the Japanese
sanitary corps and accountants for
such period of time as may be deemed
n< cessary.
Tokio a Blaze of Splendor.
Tokio: It is expected that the diet
will now lake n recess and hold a
f.|x eial sessl'm for the purpose of pass
lug a vote of thanks to General Nogl
and the men of the Third army.
A great lantern procession in cele
bration of the surrender of Port Ar-
thur Is being held and the city it,
splendidly Illuminated. Thousands of
men carrying rtags and lanterns are
marching the streets visiting and
cheering the various departments of
the government.
Japan Suspicious
Rome: Japan, it is asserted here,
fearing that the powers may again
have In contemplation a solution of
the far Kastern problem which would
deprive her of the fruits of her vic-
tory, is endeavoring to ascertain the
tenor of any exchange or views which
may have taken place between the
powers regarding possible interveo
tlon.
