A Settlement Between Russia and j
Japan in Prospect
JAPAN AGRrtS TO WAIT LONGLR
?
Impossible to Embark in War With
Kufs a Sinzle-ltnnd^d?Support of
| England Mot Expected.
London, By Onblo.?Japan has dc- j
cided to observe the policy of waiting 1
i
and watching Rusgjn. advocated by j
Great Brltian. In the meantime she .
will urge China to carry out the as- ;
vurances given to the United States
respecting Manchuria and will endeavor
to obtain the opening of additional
ports. At the Japanese legatX>n
here the following statement was
made by an official to the Associated
Press:
"I can assure you that, the talk of
war betworn Russia and .7* pan is an
invention. Japan has not the least intention
of taking that course. She proposes
tc wait and maintain her attitude
of watchfulness. Japan and
America are acting on ti?.e_samo lines
and it would be difficult for any other
power tp> withstand the pressure they
and Great ilrftaiu oouH apply."
It is said that Japan intends t? do
nothict? till October, when the f nal
evacuation of Manchuria must occur.
The Aailure of Russia to withdraw
frora Manchuria won Id be followed by
a. serious niovo cm line part of Japan.
Tlie Russian cirtbassy here regrets
the-confusion which has. arisen in consequence
of the publication </f the report
that Prince Clilng. head of the
Chinese Foreign "Office. had written to
Minister Conger, refusing to open
ports in Manchuria. The Rv.ssinn officials
believe with Washington that

her assurances and they asserted positively
thut Russia intends to -carry out
to the letter the assurances she has
given and that she will not interpose
obstacles In the way of China observing
her plcdgo to Secretary Hay.
A dlspnvc'h to Renter's Telegram
Company Irom St. Petersburg, dated
July 20, savs: "The attitude of Japan
and the warlike tone of xbe majority
of the Japan se press have attracted
much attention in official 'circles hereIt
is declared by the htst informed
people that there is n.? likelihood of
war. certainly not upon Russia's initiative.
It is stated that Russia has
every motive for desiring peace, chiefly
for financial reasons with which
are wound up a desire tor extensive
domestic reforms which the government
considers to he the most otl'icarious
ma.nner of disarming interna!
discontent and nipping the revolutionary
propaganda in the bud.
"It is believed to he impossible
from the Htusslan view point for Japan
to embark in a conflict with Russia
single-bunded, and it is thought
she will seuure the material support of
Great Britain and of the United
States. Nevertheless, Russia is taking
every precaution to strengthen her
military and naval position in the
Orient, believing this to ho the surest
means of discouraging Japanese ag
gression.
"M. Lessor's Port Arthur conference
is said to have dealt -chiefly with
these measures, though they are declared
to be entirely precautionary,
war being the furthest thing from the
wishes of the government of.Russia."

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL
Price of Raw Cotton.
The Fall River Daily Herald wouM
not be astonished if it should be made
plain that chenp raw cotton and cheap
cotton apparel, as compared with values
which have long obtained, are
passing. It says:
If the day of six-cent cotton or eightcent
cotton has not gone by, we may
realize before many years have been
counted that it Is going by with a rush.
This may not mean that coarse cotton
cloth is a thing of the past, and it may
not mean that the most expensive cotton
fabrics will rival silk3 unci satins
1n price; it may mean, however, that
I cotton as a commodity will command
considerable more money than has been
asked for it heretofore.tnd that 15-rent
cotton will breed no curtailment or
i irlVtf) rie? fn < hn ol 1 <?K ? ' *
.-W ? .OX IV IUC nSlUUl^lIU'Ul.
The Herald elaborates its theory as
! follows:
Although considerably large quantities
of cotton may be grown and mar*
beted in the near future, it would not
be surprising if nil concerned, and pt.rI
ticulnrly spinners and Individual o??nj
suiners. were forced to place a much
I higher estimate upon the value o? cnt|
ton as a staple. At any rate, a number
of indications go to show that the drift
I is in the direction of higher prices for
i rotloa in the bah? and in the finished
product. The alvanee which has been
mailt' in weaving suggests thai the demand
for rotton fabrics is going to be
| heavier than it has ever been before
i it is lighter. What are known as the
i "fine-goods" ltills are in nit inlying, and
for countless purposes their output is
I to be preferred to silk or satin. They
a."e rapidly coming to take the place
of material which law Wing been lx*jyoud
the reach of the average purchaser.
and that ,r?>o. in the eyes of
jjh?> mnre extravagant members of society.
if this demand enhances the
value *af dress fabrics, ix is clear that the
value of the cotton of which they art
I composed will be increased. Furtheri
more apart from tire estimate pinrcd
. an the finished product by those who
spin a ad weave it and those who wear
' it. it is evident that the spinners and
i wttu-% ers, the great mass of operati ves
i in civilized countries, must he taken
jlnte account. If progress is made, niul
' the cotton industry advances as it must
! IT it prospers, it follows that the- cost
i uf production murrt be increased is the
matter of wares. Whatever the effec t
of improvements in machinery may
have upon this enrst, it will hardly nfI
ftid tlie additions which must ho made
to tlie* cost of laivir. In the long run.
lit is idle talk about paring down that
o.st or substituting a cheaper class of
! help.
The call will be lor skilled employes
i rather than for a class that is lacking
i in Intelligence and that is content with
j low standards of In ing. And so, apart
| from all considerations connected with
! the staple or the demand for the ont|
put from the looms, manufacturers will
f be forced to pay more for what they
produce than they arc now paying.

i local leaders. The latter have decided
to abide by the decision of the Public

government. Miller reported for duty
about 10 o'clock Saturday morning and
was assigned to duty. The union officials
announced that there would he no

The Charlotte Evening News gives
this summary of the affair:
A man by the name of W. A- Miller,
assistant foreman in the Government
Printing Office, was expelled from a
local organization of book-binders and
his name was subsequently dropped
fiom the mil of employes of the Government.
Recently he was restored
1c. his place in the Government <wnploy.
by a special order froat President
Kooae\? lt. which reads as follows:
Wm. A. Miller on May IK last was
icmoved by 1iu? public printer frxim his

Government printing offire. because lie
bad been expelled from the local union
of the National Brotherhood of Bookbinders.
Mr. Miller complained to the

t:ary to the civil rules.

"On the face of the papers presented |
Miller would appear to have been removed

objection to the employees of the Gov(innient

but no rules or resolutions of the

Danger of War.
Pel; in. Special.?According to diplomat.-.
tore the gieatest factor in the
Eastern situation is the Increasing
danger of war between Russia and
Japan. They believe it is becoming
plain that Russia is willing to light
.Tay.an if ensnvinocd that no other power
will assist her. The Russians are
confident of th< lr ability to easily defeat
Japan and are said to he anxious
te settle definitely" her position iu
Eastern polities and end her amliitiona
to oppose Russia's progress in
Manchuria. The belief is attributed to
th*- Japanese that the Russian policy
is to attempt to placate Or oat Britain
and America and provoke Japan
into beginning hostilities. They regard
Russia's consent to opening
ports in Manchuria, the Czar's prnnt
Isefl visit, to England and the oecupatic*T?
of tlie Corean border as parts of
that policy. Russia's activity on the
Yalu riv.r is more irritating to Japan
