Very important was the suggestion advanced today by the committee of roarra factum's that the agricultural ce partrr.ent i5sue a weekly in place of a j r',rhy report. The committee jg unanimous in the opinion that weekly j. Meanwhile there is widespread conn t 'ports ' would tend to prevent violent ; dence in the ability of United States lli.in'in. rfons in the price of cotton and result in a more steady market. It wns pointed out that cotton rose co- cent in five minutes on the s:r.--r.?th cf rhe last report, resulting in a iruati-n demoralizing to large pur-(i- isi-r? cf spot cotton. Just how Sec r -'ary Wilson and' Mr. Hays accepted t'::is suggestion for the abolition of the lri.T.thly rerxirts is not known. Chair va. in ' Miller declined to discuss what t' ok place at conference, and referred the rr.any newspaper men who called vpon him at his hotel to Assistant Sec retary Hays.":- , The. committee agreed before leaving t!-.3 department that Mr. Hays should r.'niie public what took place. Evident ly Mr. Hays was not impressed with his asi-rment as mouthpiece for the con ft rnce. Ha talked rather vaguely about the conference and only in generalities. Thero is good reason for believing that several matters of much importance xo growers and manufacturers of cotton vfre considered, and that a statement, i reciting in detail these subjects may be iMde public later. - All of the members of the committee had their lips sealed and would not even discuss this phase of the situa ting The members felt that the task cf making public such matters a3 fr.omd be given the public, having been ''it to Mr. Hays it would be discour-! 4 , It'OllS for thm trt Alcnuca rV,o nlr t I'larp, j Assistant Secretary.

A revision of the June cotton acreage from existing .data, it is contended, would be. anything , but satisfactory." An entirely new inspection is demand ed and it is.not generally believed that such a report as ""would satisfy the public can be prepared by Wednes, day. v 8 President Miller discussed the cotton situation generally before the confer ence with the scretary. "We want, the facts about this scan dal," declared Mr. Miller, "and pro pose to stand by the ritVita l-!he cotton manufacturers of this country. The position of the cotton manufac tured is plain and similar to that of the cotton growers. We. are "not mak iner a fljrht antagonistic to the cotton producers, but o nthe other hand are lined up with them on the question of clearing this department of its cor ruption. It is reasonable that we should not tolerate a fluctuation in the price of cotto ndue to leaks, and our position is to protect the concerns we represent from bkeing made vic tims of unreliable and dishonest re porting."

Tabor, Texas state health officer, re turned from New Orleans today. He denies emphatically that he stated while in that city that there was no danger to be apprehended from the yellow fever there and that he was satisfied with the situation. On the contrary he says he advised the New Orleans people that the situa tion was grave an dradical measures must be adopted to stamp out the dis ease. He states that the fever has already existed there for several weeks and he does not believe it can be eradi cated in a few days. Mobile. Ala. July 24.

Taking a different route from that which -he was expected to tike the German emperor, on board the imperial yacht Hohenzollern, ar rived today at Bioerkoe, northwest of Tornstadt. ' Paris, July 24. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Matin says After having been in fear of an Anglo- French alliance, the kaiser now dreads a possible alliance between Japan and Russia. It was for this reason that he proposed to the czar that they should meet. Friends of peace here fear that the czar may return to Russia encouraged to continue hostilities by the words of the emperor. The latter, on the other hand, is believed to be very anxious regarding the progress of the revolutionary ; movements In Russia. . , St Petersburg, July 24. The Laffan's correspondent is in a position to re port authoritatively that the meeting1 between the kaiser and the czar is due to the initiative of the czar. An inspired statement as to the meeting is made.4 It ays that the kaiser is willing to advise the czar upon any questions of - internal or ex ternal policy which the czar may put. but he will 'not take the initiative in the discussion. It is taken for granted that the kaiser will recommend reforms and peace as the basis for reorganization of t3ie country which is regarded as essential to the interests of Germany. There was a rise in Russian securi ties on the stock exchange today but the holders were not disposed to sell. St. Petersburg, July 24. From well informed quarters it if. learned that the kaiser, at his meeting with the czar, was willing to express his views on an absolute monarchy's proper re lations with the socialistic interest, ex pressing himself as a sovereign rul ing by divine right to the only other emperor whose authority is similarly darived. " In the matter of external policy the kaiser's purpose was to dissuade Rus sia from abandoning definitely her policy of expansion in the extreme orient, and especially to discourage her from turning towards Asia Minor and the Persian jrulf. Official Version of Meeting St. Petersburg, 'July 24. The official version of the meeting of the emperors is contained in the following telegram from Court Minister Fredernech, sent from BJoerkoe, at 10 o'clock Sunday evening, the German -imperial yacht Hohenzollern dropping anchor near the Polar Star. Emperor "William, accom panied by Prince Albert of Schleswigl Holstein, and attended by his suite was rowed to the Polar Star. His majesty was received at the head of the ladder by the czar and Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch. After cordial greetings had been exchanged the emperors reviewed the guard of honor and the yachts' crew. The two emperors' suites were then presented, after which their majosties retired to the deck saloon. At 11 p. m. -the czar and grand duke accompanied the kaiser aboard the Hohenzollern, whence the former returned to the Polar Star at 1:30 a., m. .... ' Public Curiosity Not Satisfied London, July 25. The keen curiosity which has been stimulated throughout Europe by the meeting of the em perors has not yet been satisfied. Not withstanding the speculations" and surmises, intelligent and "otherwise which flood the press of every ; coun try, no real light s shed on the mys tery. The St. Petersburg correspond ent of the Morning Post likens Rus sian society in ' its eagnerness to un ravel the - puzzle to a hen whose duckling has suddenly taken to the water. Nobody -understands " it ; and everybody has a different explantion. The pro-German court party, it is alleged, launched the coup' Immediate KAISER MEET ly after M. De Witte's departure in order to checkmate; his . suspected manoeuverlng for an -English, French, and -Russian - alliance.: Certain diplo matic circles, which are completely non-plussed by thr episode, share the view of a majortiy of St.- Petersburg politicians that the incident is another I exhibition of the kaisers impulsive- .ness. -. . " Aocording to the Paris correspondent . of . the the Standard, who, however. admits his inabllty ' to speak posi tively ,says there Is some evidence that while the French public is deeply puz zled over the meeting Prime Minister Rouvier knows very well what is hap pening, or at least, knows what may happen if the kaiser- falls in with statements , which are still either un shaped or which M. Rouvier has had in his head ever since " he took over the portfolio of the foreign ministry. The , correspondent intimated that these schemes tend to the establish ment of a reapproachment between France and Germany, leading to some such Russian, Germany, and French alliance, as existed briefly Mn the far east after the Chine-Japanese war. M. Rouvier has often been credited with Germany tendencies as it looks, says the correspondent, as though he has not been quite falsely credited with them. He cites in support of this .an article i nthe Temps which it is well known authority The gist of the arr tide is that no political consequences are necessarily to be deluded from the meeting. The kaiser always has been sympathetic with Russia and if the object of the cofnf erence of the conference of the eperors was to es tablish a reapproachment between Russia and Germany such a under standing would notv interfere with ex isting alliances. r St. Petersburg, July 24.

WILL BE INVESTIGATED Sec. of Navy Says Benning ton Inquiry Will Be Thorough Bonaparte Deprecates Publication of Conjectures as to Causes of Disas terSays His Department Can Be Trusted to Do Proper Thing ' Washington, July SlL Secretary Bon-, aparte today said in reference to the Bennington disaster: ' r "The public. may rest assured that this distressing affair will be most thoroughly investigated and that what ever action the result of this investi gation may show to be proper will be taken by the. department promptly and effectually " Beyond this I can say nothing at present because as yet the material facts are but very imperfectly understood. I deprecate the publica tion of conjectures or speculation as to possible causes. In head HneslinesrqfisO possible causes of the disaster. In head lines uggestions often become asser tions and possibilities certanties, and many persons read only head lines. But T think this department may reasonably ask of an intelligent public that it be trusted to do what is needed, under the circumstances hereafter shown to have existed, whether as a matter of . justice toward individuals or of precaution against similar misfortunes, in the fu ture." "Washington, July 24. Until the ar rival at San Diego of Rear Admiral Goodrich, commander of the Pacific station of the navy, it is not expected that there will be further developments in the Bennington disaster. Captain Drake, now commanding officer at San Diego, is making an Investigation, pri marily to ascertain the condition of the vessel and to determine the plans for floating the wreck, and also to look into the cause of the accident. When Admiral Goodrich arrives he will as sume entire control of the matter. The investigation will be a rigid one. , Commander George B. Ransom, chief engineer of the Mare Island navy yard, where the Bennington was last over hauled, repaired and Inspected, has been ordered to San Diego. He will get .there two or three days prior to Admiral Goodrich, and by the time of the arrival of the latter will probably have many facts in his possession that will be jnost valuable to the comma na- ing officer of the investigation. San Diego, Caf., July 24. Develop ments today resulted In ending all uncertainty in regard to the fate of the crew of the Bennington. Four un identified dead were recognized, on missing' man was found alive and well and one deserter was discovered to be a San Diego boy who left the ship the right before the explosion. The list now. stands fifty-eight dead, seven dangerously ; wounded, thirty-nine In jured and one deserter. Ensign Perry's funeral will be held Thursday after which the embalmed body will be shipped to Annapolis. ' A letter of Commander' Young writ ten July 18th to Admiral Goodrich Was printed today. In it Young says of the boilers: "Everything is now in excellent condition, with the ex ception of the boilers, which although tected for water pressure of 2251 pound3. I find will not be safe to be subjected to steam pressure of over 130 to 135 pounds, "but that will enable us to make from eleven to twelve knots full speed. In every other respect the ves vel is in a very tiigh state of efficiency land in excellent condition." 1 A SQUARE MILE OF BURNING And Hundreds of People Are Rendered Homeless A HOT TIME IN TEXAS Forty Mules and Five Negro Work men Enveloped in the Flames and : Burned to a Crisp as Tiiey Fled From the Burning Oil Tanks. Flames Visible 75 Miles Distant Humble, Tex., July 24. Covering an area of nearly a square mile, with a great canopy of smoke covering two square miles, the oil tanks of the Texas Company are" boiling and bubling under the great heat of the burning oil, the fire having ,buraed all last night and today. When it can be extinguished is prob lematical. Certainly not until it has burned all of the oil in the eleven big tanks, which held 2,500 barrels when lightning struck them Sunday after noon. It is known that five negro workmen perished. Theue are hundreds of homeless peo ple. They-were living in tents and shacks in the oil field and fled for their lives to the town. All their belongings have been destroyed by fire. During the whole of the night there was a heavy downpour of- rain, and this covered the ground with a sheet of water coated with a thick film of oil. Shortly after the big tank began to blaze 200 wrorkmen with seventy-five mules were hurried to the place to throw up earthen embankments to con fine the fire to the thanks where it originated. Suddenly the oil- gave an upheavel, bubbled and lifted a great mass of the burning fluid bodily from the tanks and the 'fire was communi cated to three other tanks. , ' The burning oil caught the men and mules and hemmed them in. There was a wild scramble forsafety, men dropping their scrapers and reins. Some of them mounted mules and got out, but at least forty of the mules, balked and were cremated. Five negroes were seen to go down, and it isnot believed possible for them to have escaped. The conflagration was visible in Houston, seventy miles away and in Galveston sixty-five miles distant, all during last night and today.

Carter Oyster Bay, July1 24. Gov. R. Carter of Hawaii came to Oyster Bay today with a grim, determined air. He had his resignation in his pocket and he drove straight to Sagamore Hill and presented it to President Roosevelt. But , the president would not hear of Governor -Carter resigning. The presi dent believes that Mr. Carter is a "brick" and the most valuable man for the' place, and insists that the youthful governor stay put. Anyhow the .governor stayed to luncheon, and when he returned from the hftl to the railway etatln at 4:20 he looked about ten years younger. j "I came to advise the president," said Governor Carter in response to a ques tion, "to accent my resignation, but the president not only would not take my advice bu pursuaded me to accept his f.nd continue in office "What was the trouble?" he was "Was," he said. ',it is, and I. don't see any imnjediate prospects of har mony. The trouble Is all local. With the president I have always been on the best of terms but in Hawaii there are many officials and factions who cause friction. ' But I suppose my op J ponents would tell you that about the most troublesome truble is standing OIL here TlPfnrA vmt In tVio nnrenn r flarxytra R. Carter." - Ever since Mr. Carter assumed the governorship succeeding Sanford B Dole, who was nominated as a district judye of HwaI, he has had more or ! less trouble with local officials - and with the legislature which at times is proned to sway by political adventures. The legislature is elected, whereas -the governor of Hawaii is appointed from another source of friction. Governor Carter has still nearly three years to serve before his term expires. He expects to stay in this country for a few weeks by way of vacation. He will visit some relatives in Lancaster, Mass.
