The police men fled precipitately. Order being restored, a number of speeches were delivered on the national , crisis,. Suddenly the police, re-enforced' to between 200 and. 300, again invaded the hall and rushed on the audience with drawn swords. The. people defends ed themselves with chairs and sticks, hut aftr tpn mfriutps vpr rtrivpn frnm the hall into the garden, where there was a battalion of soldiers; whb raise their rifles to their shoulders, prelim inary to an order to fire, causing a panic.' The public fled toward the ex- its, and finding them closed, smashed the doors and windows of the hall and 30 gained the street. Many persons were injured, some so seriously that they had to be taken to a hospital. M. Novikoff was arrested and the gardens were occupied by police and Cossacks.

' Governor Wright then said that ac cording to his construction of the neu trality laws, the Russian vessels, could remain long enough to make neces sary repairsand after these were fin ished, they must leave within twenty four hours or dismantle and interne. Rear Admiral Enquist requested per mission t& bring his hips behlng the breakwater for repairs." This -request was ' granted him, and the ships will move Tuesday morning. Narita Goro, Japanese, cunsul, called on Governor Wright just before Rear Admiral Enquist called and made iri quiry regarding the probable disposi tion of the Russian warships.

Klumpp & Co. issue Their Regular Report The following cotton crop Tetter is' furnished by Messrs. W. F. Klumpp & Co.: The weather conditions the past fortnight have continued unfavorable, and private advices with few excep tions report the crop to be very back ward, compared with last season, far mers being unable to work the fields on account of the protracted rains. In the eastern belt, the plant,, is making better progress than in the central and ; western belt, but as a ; rule over the entire region the crop is doing poorly, especially in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, where the plant is badly in the grass, and in Texas and Arkansas, where the outlook in many sections is very discouraging,, farmers haying been unable to finish planting, and some fields being abandoned on ac count of wet weather. The crop is about two weeks later than usual, and considering the reduc-, tion In acreage, of about 15., as per our crop letter of the thirteenth ult., the weather conditions of the next thirty days are of greatest importance, as they will throw .more light on the chances for a crbp in keeping with consumption. v Weather conditions will continue to govern 'prices for some time to come.

He could not see, however, that jthere was anything In the pres ent situation, ; unfortunate as it un doubtedly was for , his government, which necessitated Russia's suing for. peace. As .to territory, he pointed out that Chipa and not Russia had been, the loser, for even Port Arthur was helcl only under lease. , On. the sea Russia had nothing more to lose, he said.. It was the ambassa dor's' firm opinion that' this" was not "the ' psychological ; moment',' in which to discuss peace with Japan.
