Jap- I 1 an. i i i London, February 21. ? A dis-j patch to lteuters Telegram Com- i puny from St. Patersburg continuing the Asssoeiutod Prose udvices February 17 and February IS from Si Petersburg, to the effect that pence was under coneidoration, adds: ^ "The question of pence hue not only been formally discussed, but the conditions on which Russia is prepared to make poaco have praci tically been agreed upon. Those aro as follows: "Korea to bo placed under Japanoso suzerainty"Port Arthur and the Liaotung peninsula to bo coded to Japan. "Vladivostok to be declared a neutral port with an open door. "l'Qo eastern Chinose Railroad to bo placed under neutral international administration. 4'Manchuria, as far north as Harbin, to bo restofort as an in tegral part of tho Chinose Em- , piro. . "Tho dilliculty lies in sotlling the question of indemnity, upon which it is known *hat Japan in- . sists, but it is said that this dif- . ficnlty is not insuperable. "Tho most trustworthy opinion at St Petersburg is that in view of tho internal situation and tho enormous difficulty of carrying on tho war, pence on tho terms outlined will bo concluded within a comparatively short time if the indemnity question can bo nr- ^ ranged, but it is quite possible ^ that Russia will risk another bat* . tie before a decision is reached.

Extract f.'oro Jno L,, McLuirln'i Speech at Cotton Contention, Amcngbthef things bo sulcit "bellow cttifcens, the Noto Orleans convention calls upou you to or ganizo for self piesorvution. 1 havo heard the sneer, 4,0.i, you can't get farmers to unite, the thing Will fail." To these I roplv tho farmers of tho West are organized; they control the situation and the So 'thorn cotton planter, in patriotism, intelligence, patient endurance, so!f- control and courage, is tho peer of any man anywhere in this worl I. Follow citizens, will you seize tho opportunity or will you trample underfoot the advantages given you hy God and nature '( Let us begin, let ua organize for tho protection of the monopoly given us by God In the production of raw cotton. It is the first step toward that time when, within our own borders wo shall spin all the cotton made, and exporting nothing but the finished products, trako the South rich beyond our wildest dreams. There is a fierce battle going on for commercial supremacy This will not stop with the addition of a cent or two to the price of cotton, there are issues of great moment. It is a a tight for the supremacy of the South in the (great industrial wur now being waged in the world. "The watchfires are being lighted on the hilltops and the bugle has sounded the call to arms; tho tramp of the legions may be heard ' from the Cape Fear to the Rio Grande. ( The Convention at New Orleans threw down the gage of battle and the captain of the ((tons and hundreds1' are mustering Israels' hosts. I warn you that the tight will be long, hard and bitter,if we fail, f it means the world's contempt for , a people who could not uso Gods < given opportunities, if we sue- ; oeed, O, men, and the eons of ] men, who followed the starry i cross over the bills of Virginia j and amid the swamps of the Missis?ippi,|\vho rejoiced with Jackson ] at Bull Run, and wept with Leo * at Appomatox, it means, O, 1 Lord, God of battles, that thou hath reversed thy verdict at Gettysburg and Appomattox, it means victory, victory for the eonth, without the shedding of a widows toar, or the loss of a single drop of human blood. Fellow citizens, the issue was ( made at New Orleans, it is Dixie avenue against Wall street The ' man who falters and hesitates, the man who would make a few paltry | dollars by increasing his acreage at the expense of his partriotic neighbor, is a coward and a traitor to bis own section and poo- , pie." i { Winter coughs are apt to result i in consumption if neglected. * They can be soon broken up by c using Foley's Honey and Tm*.
