Later in the evenir g j Capt Marchant, disregarding the M colonel's orders, left camp with 30 of his men and came to Bir* * mingham.

One view, inolud- J ing that of the United States, is ' that the credentials are accepta- t ble; another is that they have c never been shown to carry com pleto authority ; while a third 1 view is that the original creden- 1 fiala were valid at the time given, r but havo aince become invalid through the flight of the Emperor and Empress Dowager and the complete collapse of the fl OhincRe Government. Theques- t tion of credentials does not seem so diflicult to deal with, and it probably will be solved to the satisfaction of all concerned, but it is not clear thus far that the v Powers can be brought into com - u plete accord on a general policy ] v for the futuro of China.

C., SATL L1IE NEW CEIIEAL, COTTON SEED. Progress Aftora Hard and Constant Struggle Against Igno ranee and Prejudice. E. tt. Johnson, In tho September Forum.) Time was when the cotton leed was the least of all seeds n the public estimation. It itill holds a place far below its ntrinsic worth ; but it bids fair o become, in the future, by its nerit, the greatest of all. Its omantic history is now so well enow 11 that it is not necessary o dwell upon it, or to state low an agricultural product vliich farmers wore once glad A rl 11 Ai 11 infn " ** * ' v> uuiiij7 liuu <v nver, ii one lowed conveniently near, lias lecoine worth 30 cents a bushel ?$20 a ton?on the banks of he Mississippi itself. This remarkable progress has >nly been gained by a hard and constant struggle against ignoance and prejudice, and against he opposition of competing >roduct8 which were regarded is primary crops. The cotton eed was regarded as an imicrtinent by-product, interferng with the markets for the ereals. At the same time it van admitted that all coinletition between the cereals hould be free and unhampered. Jut now those who have been iccustomed to look upon the otton seed as a mere "by-proluct of the cotton field" must titer their noint of view. Let is comparo this so-called by>roduct with one of the cereals : Wheat, Protein, 11.87; Carjohydrates, 73 60 : Fat, 2 00 ; J nine, .$ 1 00. CottonSeed, Protein, 17.57; Carbohydrates, 10 82; Fat, 20 19; /alue, $1 30. The above table gives the lumber of pounds of food cojnlonents and the analytical value >f 100 pounds each of wheat tnd cotton seed, according to he methods in use by the agricultural experiment stations. It hows the surprising fact that, lound foi noiind. enfrtnn snorl las a greater intrinsic value ban wheat. Neither is the hulk if the cotton seed crop by any neans insignificant as cornwared with wheat.

A telegram was read from Mr. Henry O. Ilestor, of New Orleans, relative to the figures of the cotton crop, promising to send the figures next Saturdry. He said : "Southern milling industry was never so prosperous. My returns show more new mills than ever in our history. New spindles being erected number nearly one million four hundred thousand." The report of the committee on the guano question was then read. It recommended that the commissioners secure such guano legislation as will compel the manufacturers to place on tho sack the brand and trademark, the weight, the available phosphoric ascid, tho insoluable phosphoric, acid, the nitrogen, the phosphate contained in the sack and also the source of each of the available plant foods.

Washington, August 29.*-- A ' special meeting of th*- cabinet ' lasting all day, broken only by short recess for luncheon, mark* 1 ed the intense inieKsl the ad i ministration feels in ttie Chinese* problem, 'i'he diplomatic, and not the military, phase of th*> situation in China was under con?id eration.

Atuo nad long it?!kn with Mr. Wu and tlie Ger ' man charge, and the substanc? | of these conversations he la?'1. I I before the cabinet. It is under-1 stood that the cabinet compiorcn i the preparation of n plan for clearing away much of the un certainty now existing us to the future in China and outlined its 1 views in writing. The fact that the military situation is admitted to be oi secondury importance confirms the view, though no cab inej^ officer would vouch safe information on this point, that what is sought is an agreement among the powers for terminat ing the indefinite statin of affairs in China. It is believed that the point has been reached where it is proper that there should be a clear expression of the purpose on the part of the principal powers, in order that the United States government may know hftW for i t mott cm nnneiofrvnf )n * M V ?? I I* i IV V / UVUOIOIVIIIIJ 111 the execution of the common programme. Most of the objects had in view by the president, when ho made answer to the Chinese govorn nient's appeal, and began the campaign upon I'ekin, have been achieved. Two others remain to be secured, namely, the safeguarding of American interests for the f lit lire, and some proper guarantee for indemnification for the expenses of recent operations and losses of American citizens. Some plan by which these objects can be ob i tained by the United States in , common with similar objects by the other powers engaged in . China is thought feasible. I Incidental to this main purpose several phases of the problem are attracting special att n ' tii ii TtiiiK th*? h 11 Hi < i n r v nf I .i Hung Chang's credentials as a peace envoy, or rather of the 1 ability of the emperor of China to accredit anyone thus, is a mat ter of international consideration. The United States not only must satisfy itself with Li's competency, but it must convey solid assurance on that point to convince some of the other powers, the purposes of which, perhaps would not bo best served by a speedy termination of hostilities in China.

It is believed that this matter is very near a decision, our determination depending upon the responses made by European nations to our inquiries. The suggestion th ?t a conference be held of tlm nations represented in China is again revived as an accorr.paniment of I this purpose, and it i-? pointed out that with Special Commissioner Liockhill, just arriving on Chinese soil, with Von Alumni tfchwart.enstein, the (ieirnan sucI cesser to Baron Von Ketteler, alI run't i" 1 II In nn u' i t li I ^ > . v * v.ini", ?? i \ ii 111^7 ijiiiiir*ters resident at l'ekin, and with flu* high mi!il:try and naval officials in I he I'ei llo Valley, the material is already at hand for j tiio gathering of a conference lully equipped to deal with even I so c* mo 1 ex and difficult a problem as is presented in the settlement of China's future.
