Col. Gouroko has arrived at Mukden from Port Arthur, safely crossing Japanese lines. Col. Gourouko is the bearer of important information regarding the fighting at Kinchou and the situation at Port Arthur. A long dispatch is now being .deciphered at the War Office, which probably con tains inetelligence brought by Colonel Gourouko and it is believed a portion of it will be given out tonight. Accord ing to information in possession of the general staff, the enemy has four divis and five reserve corps, eight thousand men, on Liao Tung Penisula and ? at least a hundred and twenty-five thous and men in southern Manchuria. Al though the1 impression prevails among the general staff that General Kuroki's purpose will be to make feints to pre vent General Kuropatkin from moving, but not to attack him until the result of the campaign against Port Arthur is decide, it is now apparently more an inclination to think he will try demon stration in force which might result in a. direct engagement. The Japanese comnlander is constantly shifting his shifting his forces pack and forth to conceal the real purpose, the latest re port being that he has again abandonea Saimatsza.

Secre tary Wilson of the Agricultural De partment, discussing the, progress of agriculture in the United States, as-1 serts that the South, which had been backward in its corn production for many years preceding 1890 finds itself since that time with its fraction of the national production of corn increasing taster than that of any other sectionj the same is true with regard to wheat, sweet potatoes, and cane and sorghum sirup; and to these may be added to bacco and farm made butter, and horses, mule and swine. The South oc cupies a second place in the rate of in crease of production in comparison with other sections, in buckwheat, hay, apple and peach trees, cattle other than milch cows, and farm-made cheese. In an article on the consumption of cotton in the cotton States,' J. I. Wat kins, cotton expert of the Bureau of Statistics, says that North Carolina, which now - ranks second among the cotton-consuming States of the South, was the third one to engage in the manufacture of cotton, its first mill having been erected at the Falls of Tar (or Pamlico) River, in Edgecombe county, in 1818. It began operating with 288 spindles, employed about 20 hands, and consumed 18,000 pounds of cotton, or, according to the weights of those nays about 64 bales. Two years after. th is mill began Operations anothej was built (1822) on the Catawba' River, near Lincolntoreln or about that $ate, a mill, run by steam power, was ereeted at Greensboro. It operated 3,000 spin dles and 75 looms, and made sheetings, shirtings, osnaburgs, and yarns. Little is known as to the consumption of cotton in North Carolina prior to 1840. According to the census returns for 1820, there were only 288 spindles in operation, which consumed 18,000 pounds of cotton. The next census (1830)" made no reports upon this in dustry. In 1840 there were about 25 mills in the State operating 47,934 spindles, which consumed, approxi mately, 20,450 bales. If the Wisconsin "political" situation does not improve soon Postmaster General Payne will have a case of ner vous prostration or gout or something of the sort. The President has given Mr. Payne warning that he expects him to see to it that the troubles of the two factions do not interfere with the na tional ticket in that State, but just how Mr. Payne will accomplish it does not appear, although while the La Follette people were here' he made an earnest plea for support of the national ticket rso matter what the outcome of the fac tional fight may be. It is certainly a fact that promi nent Republicans here have admitted that the Democrats have a good fight ing chance to carry Wisconsin this fall. They say that good J politics for the Democrats means concentration of campaign efforts in New York, Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana. These States, with "the Southern States would be all that would be needed to elect a Demo cratic President. There are also two Congressional dis tricts in Wisconsin mixed up in the La Follette and Spooner-Quarles fight and in these two the Democrats stand a show to win. ' Secretary Hay and Secretary Moody conferred Avith the President today and :'t is supposed that they went over the Perdicaris case, but neither officer would discuss the conference. Admiral Evans, "Fighting Bob." was another Visitor to see and talk with the President, but he was equally un communicative. These conferences gave rise to a belief that some strong naval Demonstration was contemplated at Tangier. Important plans in this direc tion would . not be; given out.

The second day of the arbitration ' confer ence opened with an address oy District Commissioner MacFarland, of Wash ington, on the subject of an" arbitra tion treaty with Great Britain - and other nations. Prof. John . Bassett Moore, of Columbia University, refer7 ring to the decision of the Hague Court, in the Venezuelan ease, said he was unable to see how other decision could have been rendered. The court was compelldd to recognize the fact that in present state of international relations, the use of force, and threat or war, are regular and legitimate, - as in the Venezuelan case. There was great need, he said for the creation of a system whereby force might be ap plied in such cases without resort to war. One might be provided by inter national agreement that certain penal ties be encurred by the nation per petrating wrong and injustice oh another. A better method would be the organization of a body akin to the In ternational Police, acting under di rection ' of a permanent International Council. ATTACK ON AMERICANS.
