firms the reports of a severe naval

rtroyers are now outside this harbor

London Papers’ View.
By Associated Press.
London. August 11,—-The afternoon
papers generally interpret the connot-
ing reports of the naval engagement
to mean that the bulk of the Russian
squadron made a sortie in the hope of
escaping from Port Arthur and only
the torpedo boat destroyer Ryeshitelni
succeeded in reaching Chee Foo. It
is belleved^tbe bold dash is an indica-
tion that Port Arthur is about to fall.

the best that have ever been shown in

tinct and have not that tendency to
blur like the majority of such pis-

senger train is well worth the price
of admiaskm in itself, barring the oth-
er good pictures. One imagines he is

•lags In Paraguay. #

Paris, August 11.—The foreign of-

ATres that a state of slags has been
proclaimed In the republic of Para-
guay, owing to a revolutionary out-
break.
Southern Cotton Corporation Will* Rev-
olutionize the Cotton Industry.
New Orleans, August 8.—The plans
of the Southern Cotton corporation,
of which Col. S. F. B. Morse, formerly
passenger traffic manager of the
Southern Pacific railroad at Houston,
Is president, are beginning to attract
wide attention among cotton planters
and handlers generally.
For many years Colonel Morse has
been in the closest touch with the cot-
ton industry, his railroad connection
making this necessary. Thus he has
been advantageously placed for the
comprehensive study of the needs of
this greatest agricultural Industry in
the United States.
The wide fluctuations in cotton
prices Injure to the value of many
millions of dollars a year the interest
of both the planter and the spinner,
while the methods of ginning, baling,
compressing and handling is Bureiy in
need of improvement along economic
lines. Improvements along these lines,
authorities are agreed, should mean
additional profit of at least 1 cent a
pound on every pound of cotton raised.
Another phase of the Industry that
is a constantly recurring source of
trouble to the planter is the fact that
a very small surplus of 5 or 10 per
cent in production invariably drives
the price of cotton down, causing a de-
cline of 8100,000,000 to 8300,000,000 in
the price received by the planter.
Could this surplus stock be cared for,
removed from the market and held
until the next year or the year after,
and at the same tme be used as nego-
tiable security by the owner, the rela-
tion of demand and supply would be
so regulated that wide fluctuations
would be almost impossible.
Only a few weeks ago the Texas
Farmers’ Congress passed a resolution
saying that the development of a com-
prehensive bonded cotton warehouse
system and improvements in baling
and handling methods would save at
least 810 per bale, or 8100,000,000 a
year to Southern cotton growers, while
as long ago as 1851 a cotton planters’
convention held at Tallahassee, Fla.,
advocated Just such a plan as the
Southern Cotton corporation is now
arranging to carry into effect.
The corporation is to have a capital
of 820,000,000 and is planning the es-
tablishment of bonded, warehouses at
convenient locations throughout the
South. Warehouse receipts, negotia-
ble at any bank, wifi be used for all
cotton placed in storage, and in this
way the cotton may be held at small
expense Just as long as the owner
desires.
The corporation will also encourage
the ginning, baling and handling of
cotton by new and Improved methods,
including the compressing of the bale
at the gin bouse, and the baling of the
cotton In a covering that will com-
pletely protect it from damage.
A new baling process Is now being
gotten into shape, which Will be sold
outright to ginners at a low figure. In
this way the Southerti Cotton corpora
tlon hopes to secure the aid and co-
operation of all cotton ginners and cot-
ton planters In the South, and to carry
in Its warehouses Just as many hun-
dred thousand bales of cotton aa con-
ditions warrant.
Cotton men in New Orleans are
deeply interested in the hew company,
as its plans are revolutionary in char-
acter, and the successful carrying out
of them will mean some radical
changes In the cotton business.—

Novel Experience of W. H. White at
- Port Arthur Sunday.
H. H. White, in charge of the pub-
licity department of the Houston Ice
and Brewing company, and who was
here yesterday doing some effective
advertising for that company, tells a
pretty good fish story and illustrates
a new way of catching fish.
As announced o* the streets yester-
day, the advertising corps of the Rep-
utation beer makers daily send up a
huge Japanese kite, attached to the
controlling line of which are huge
banners advertising the Reputation
beer.' *
Incidentally the kite failed to go up
in Orange, yesterday through lack of
sufficient breeze to hoist It, much to
the disappointment of the large crowd
who gathered to witness the ascen-
sion. But, as Kipling says, that’s an-
other story.
Mr. White tells his fishjstory about
as follows:
“Last Sunday we were at Port Ar-
thur, and, having a splendid breeze,
we sent up the largest of our kites
and paid out the line until the kite was
2500 feet out over the lake, and per-
haps 300 feet above the water. Several
people were fishing, and occasionally
some one would book a big gar and
there would be a merry fight to land
him. Suddenly I conceived the idea of
using the line of my kite as a ‘trot
line’ and suopending short lines there-
to as hook lines. I secured some big
hooks and baited them with live mul-
■dt and dropped them at intervals into
the lake from the main line of my
kite. Suddenly the line sagged and
Jerked viciously, and I knew I had
hooked a fish. I began pulling in the
kite rapidly and had almost got with-
in reaching distance of my shorter
line on which the fish was hooked
when a lull In the wind caused the
kite line to sag and the wary fish un-
hooked himself and made his escape.
“While we caught no fish by the ex-
periment. we at least learned that It is
a decidedly novel and Interesting way
of fishing and I intend to try it again
it the earliest opportunity.”
Horse Fell On Him.
A malignant fate seems to be pursu-
ing George Delano. A couple of weeks
ago he was rtunned by lightning and
his horse knocked down by the shock.
Day before yesterday he was going
out to the residence of F. W. Robin-
son, in the northwest part of the city,
and was riding Mr. Robinson's horse
along at a slow gallop. Near Burt
Willey’s home on Park avenue he
started across a small bridge over a
culvert without checking his horse.
The animal slipped and fell, rolling
over onto its rider and severely bruis-
ing him about the abdomen. The
horse finally got onto Its feet, but De-
lano lay on the ground for several min-
utes before regaining sufficient
strength to remount his horse. He
was slightly bruised on one leg and
completely knocked out of breath by
the fall. He was out on the street
yesterday and, with the exception of
a Blight limp, showed but little ef-
fects of his fall.

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR BRYAN.
Succeeds in Getting Through Another
Fusion Scheme In Nebraska
By Associated Press. /
Lincoln, Neb., August 1L—After a
session lasting all night the democrats
and popullrta of Nebraska completed
the state ticket today. The division
of offices gives the populists five and
the democrats three. The populists
get the governor, treasurer and aud-
itor, and the democrats the lieutenant
governor, secretory of state and at-
torney general.
The completion of the fusion ia an-
other great victory for Bryan, who
was opposed by Watson, candidate for
president, and a large number of dele-
gates in the populist convention.
Wow! Jerusalem! Now will you
be good?
Did you ever get left? Feller told
the Contest Editor last night there
wouldn't be 20,000 votes polled in the
contest this week, and bless your
heart 15,000 and over were polled to-
day. What do you think of that?
Reckon you’ll say those railroad
boys can’t boost their candidate now,
won’t you? They’re a chivalrous lot
of sports, too, while 14,000 of their
15,000 votes were polled for M. J. L«e
in Class A, they scattered them to
three different young ladles In Class
B.
The contest is changed ail around
today, and the man who thought he
had It all figured out yesterday is
about as far off as the fellow who
thought Lou Dillon wouldn’t beat Ma-
jor Delmar’s time.
This old guessing at the next day’s
results in a contest Is like trying to
break even with West Texas weather
—you never know “where you are at”
As it stands today, M. J. Lee leads
in Class A, Miss Moena McClanahan,
the charming little general delivery
clerk at the postofflee, leads the
young ladles In Class B. Miss Malone
drops back to second place, and Miss-
es Baxter and Middleton each take a
good step forward toward the top.
Master Joe Malone still leads In
Class C.
