I be gan a crusade on that line in l'JU), by organizing the Southern Cotton tirowera rroteclive Aasoeiatwin all the largest cotton producing Mate. I advm'ated the adoption ol the warehouse svateni and secured the co-operation of Southern Bankers Associations in the matter of ad vane ing 75 per cent, of the current value of cotton on warehouse receipts. Thin system has been gradually growing since that time, and thousands of far mer are now holding their cotton and selling it slowly who used to rush it on the market a fast as ginned I jst week at a meeting of the Texas rarmers Congress, at College Sta tion, Tex., a convention of 1,JU) cot ton producers endorsed the cotton warehouse plan and will begin to in augurate a system of moving the crop slowly in all parts of that State. Another big' meeting of Texas pro ducers, representing a union of KK),- IKX) cotton growers in that State, will be held at rort north on August Cth to adopt a plan of moving the croi slowly this fall. I was invited to Mississippi in April last to discus the same propo sition before several hundred farm ers, and will go to Montgomery, Ala., nil August 4th upon the same errand. In my own State, Oeorgia. the plan of warehousing cotton and using the receipts to liorrow money from the banks, so as to be able to hold back some of the cotton crop, is rapidly growing in popularity, and all those who have held their cotton until after the rush in the fall during the past few years, have made good money. OUUAM1XATIOX NKCKHCAHY. I'nited concert of action among the producers is necessary to the success f marketing cotton for gixnl prices. The holding back of a few thousand bale by a few thousand farmers will have but little effect Hut if the policy of selling onlv one-trnth of the crop each month is adopted and steadfastly adhered to then we should easily sell the pres ent maturing crop at 12 cents per pound. It no concerted action on the part of the farmers is entered into, meet maturing obligations can ware house a part of their crop and bor row what moner thev ne-nl from the banks on warehouse receipt. Oth er who are in better shae financi ally, can hold art of their crops on their farms, taking care to house it well from the weather. Those who are forced to sell will then tind a stronger, healthier market, than if all the cotton were dumped un the mar ket at once. USAM INU THK HITI ATIOX The bank have to furnish the money to move the cotton crop no matter w bether through the hands of the buvers or producers. It takes more money to handle the crop when thrown on the market quickly than if the crop were held luck and mar keted slow lr, because farmers would not borrow or need the full value of their cotton. Hence, the situation can be more easily financed if the cotton is largely held in the hands of the producer than if the cotton is bought up and held in storage for the spinners. When the crop is marketed rapid ly on the prices offered bv the buy ers, depression is caused bv heavy receipts. 1 lie price of cotton goes down, not because the staple is of less value for spinning purposes, but because heavy receipt indicate a dis- (sisition on the part of the fanners to sell at any price offered, and the buyer lake advantage of the situa tion. This question of marketing the crop slowly is a most serious one liecause uHn its speedy adoption depends the power and ability of the producers to maintain price. HT.

The Farmers' National Congress will meet at St. Imis on September I'dth, and tie in session live davs in the large auditorium of the big Ag ricultural building in the K.Mition grounds. Delegates from all the Southern States will attend this meeting, and I have deemed it ad visable also to call an Inter-State meeting of Southern cotton producer to meet at the same time, on a date during that week to be divided on hereafter, and discuss way and means for checking the determina tion of the spinners to depress prices tins tall. Kach Southern State should send a large delegation to this meeting at St. Louis the last week in September, and these delegation should come together, fullv discus the situation, and organize for the purpose of car rying out whatever plan inav lie adopted. We have tiie prospect of making a full crop, and unless the producers divide upon some definite action relative to a slow marketing of the crop, I very much fear the price of the staple may be depressed to 8 cents per pound, though it is worth fullv 12 cents.

The assassination is believed to be the outcome of a widespread plot, the existence of which has been sus pected for several day. Numerous arrests have been made, including that of the assassin, a young man who i believed to be a Finn named eglo, and who is now in a hospital, severely and jierhaps fatally injured by the explosion of hi own bomb. An accomplice of I-eglo, also aima- lently a rum, but whose name i un known, ha been arrested.

As goon as the police saw the bomb they scattered, but an em ploye of the hotel rushed up behind the accomplice and pinned his arms. 1 he explosive is believed to have been composed of pyroxylin, as it gave off little smoke. The force of the explosion was so terrific that it not only broke every window within radius of half a mile, but reduced the heavy paving stones b powder, heaved up the pavement and Hung a heavy piece of the iron work of the carriage across the canal, severing me ttiicK mast of a barge, which fell stunning the captain of the barge r.verybody 111 the street was knocked own and more or less bruised.

The priests and people, with charac teristic Russian piety, at once joined in a solemn requiem. The square in front of the station was tilled with a reverent crowd of peasant and la borers, and the busy hum of trafiic was silenced. A priest lifted up his voice and proclaimed, "1 he eternal memory of the departed servant Wen ceslas,' while all those in the congre gation dropped to their knee. THE EMI'KKDll INFuKMKD. Minister of Justice Muravieff went to the I'eterhoff lalace this afternoon to report the assassination of Minis ter Von I'lehve to Emperor Nicholas. Hi Majesty did not leave the palace during the entire day, although he had arranged to go to Oranienbauui (19 mile from St. Petersburg) to at tend the consecration of the new harbor. The Associated Press correspond ent wa at the scene of the tragedy within live minutes after it occurred M. Von I'lehve' shockingly mangled body wa lying in the middle of the road. It had been partially covered w ith a polios ofiicer's overcoat, with the left arm, the bone of which wa broken off, projecting. A uoliccman came up and raised the overcoat in order to rearrange it, revealing for an instant the strong features of the dead minister, whiwe head was bat tered almost beyond recognition. The roadway wa strewn for a hun dred yard w ith the wreckage of the carriage and pieces of the red lining of the Minister's official overcoat. A few yard from M. I'lehve' body lav a haielos heap of the coachman's remains. BOMB THROW WITH DEADLY AO- rVHAt'Y. The infernal machine was thrown with deadly accuracy, and the assas sin was favored by the fact that traf fic here is always of the heaves t, ow ing to the crossing of lines of surface cars and the continuous stream of heavy trucks. M. Von Plehre was always apprehensive of attempts upon bis life and used to drive as rapidly as possible. The coachman, riage. The horses tore off, dragging the axle ami the front wheels.

The F.incror almost broke down w hen he was informed of the Minister's murder.

It is supposed the bombs were manufactured there.

Itryan; strange, but unde niably true, that the press and peo ple of the country these last three weeks have given no less attention to Mr. ltrvu.11 than to the candidate of the convention, Judge Parker. The whole country has come to see that it was not merely an eloquent orator w ho swept the convention of IMI( oil its feet and won a presiden tial nomination, but a man of pro found convictions, strictest integrity, and almost fanatical faith in hi: principle. "The St. Iui delegates would hear Itryan, pledged against him as they were, when they would listen to no one else," a Kaleigh dele gate tells us. "The whole interest of the convention was centered not on Parker, the man who won the presidential nomination, but iiHin the struggling leader being dragged slowly, and yet with tragically irre sistible power, down to defeat," writes William Allen W'hite in Col lier Weekly. And Mr. II. K. C. Bryant writing to the Charlotte Ob server of his St. Louis trip, pays this tribute to the Nebraska leader whom he opposes: "Kven hi enemies are coniielled to hear him when lie speaks. He seems to be an earnest advwate, one whose disciples would follow to death. If Col. Itryan had been a preacher, this country would have a great revival like the one that swept from West to Kast about 1S(X)." It is an interesting pen picture which William Allen White, the Kan sas Republican, ha drawn of Bryan's memorable speech as the all night session ended and the gray dawn of Saturday morning broke ujion the convention: "It must be considered one of the memorable oration of this prosy 1111 oratorical day. It has been said that some word are so momentous that they liecome deeds. Bryan' were such. A he talked, the purple shad ow of the coming day were seen through the windows, and before he closed the dawn was gray about him. lie stood there surrendering his IKiwer, that had come to him in his youth so suddenly, lie had carried the banner of social democracy in America further than any other man had carried it. It is not for free sil ver that Bryan stand for, and he knew it. in the breaking day, when his paity told him to stand aside He believes that hi idea (whether he defines it clearly or not is immate rial) is inqvortant to the welfare of hi country. Probably he is wrong; but as he stood there sadly appeal ing to his party for his old cause, which he knew wa a lost cause, he seemed bidding farewell a long farewell to all the power and glory that has been the breath of his nos tril. He has lived cleanly, and has acted fairly anl squarely according to his light. He is the idol of that party, of his branch of his party, which stood for his ideas. These men live in the Middle West Thou sand of them came many hundred miles to see him surrender, and lie quit like a gonlleman, with his col ors Hying. mr. bryan'h fittre policy. Bryan, as Mr. W'hite says, is still the idol ot the Western Democrats, and for years to come he will be a power to be reckoned with. Since he is no longer the official leader of his party, he has taken an even more advanced position in defence of popular rights," as he would .say. Last week he issued an address to he sas. "for lk-im rats lo consider a plan for the government ow nership and oeration of railroads. The plan usually suggested is for the purchase of these nds by Uie Federal iv ernmeiit. This plan, it seems hi me, is more objectionable than a plan wnieli involves the ownership ami operation of these nails bv the sev eral States. . . . The U legr.11 lines do not reach as many eople as the railroads do, and w hile the abuses of private ownership have not lie so oien and notorious, vet there no reason why this uation should in do what other nations are doing in tin respect. The Denwcratic party has in twocanqiaigns stood for an income tax. 1 he plank was omitted this year because the men in control of the party thought it jeopardized success in the hasteni States. 1 his objection may have weight when the apeal is made to a xilitieal sectiou ami the wealthy men of that section but it cannot have weight when tin party goes forth, as it must ultimate ly do, to apiH-al bi the masses. hue at St. Louis some weeks aco. the writer met a Nebraska editor who knows Mr. Bryan well, and i may lie interesting to give here hi estimate of the defeated candidate Men in all ranks of life I have known," said this editor, "but among them all, ministers of the gosm-l not excepted, I have not known a purer than William J.
