Voodvillo Hock hill, special ommissioner of the United mites government to investi;ate anil report 011 conditions !) China, in an interview with representative of The Associated Press, emphasizing the importance of the harmonious ction of the powers as a measire of self-defense, said : "If the Chinese government s able to break the concert of mtions and to bring about a lisagreement on the part of any ;overnment, in such a way as 0 secure any relaxation of the oint demands, all the foreigners n China may as well pack up nd leave. "This is the very best opporunity to settle for all time the tatus of foreigners in China, f that matter is not settled iOW, the Chinese will be onouraged to persist in their policy, and the powers will ave the whole trouble to thresh gain every two or three years. believe that all the governments are impressed with this ruth, and I believe most of hem realize that a definite and ermanent settlement of the tatus of foreigners and the esnhlishment of freedom of tra<le re more important to them iow than the acquisition of prritory. "This has been a deliberately lanned movement on the part ENTE RRKLY. CSDAY, SEPTEMBER" of the Chinese government to expel all foreigners. The decree printed in the imperial gazette prove this. The movement has been practically successful,since (overy foreigner in the interior has been obliged to seek refuge in the treaty ports. The imperial movement merely utilized the Boxers as convenient accessories to its schemes. ' 'The relief of Pekin is already I an incident of the crisis. The ; really important work remains to be done. Marquis Ito, prob| ably the best informed man alive on eastern politics, said to me that the present was the greatest crisis in the history of China and that all preceding eastern questions sunk into insignifi ounce beside it Are civilized nations to yield to the Chinese conceit of their own superiority?" Mr. Rockhill said other ollicials in Shanghai, like the public, are utterly ignorant of the course of diplomatic and military events in Pekin. The consuls of various governments have sent frequent telegrams to their respective ministers, hut have been unable to get replies. It ia suspected that official messages are tampered with between Shanghai and Chefoo. The attitude of the southern viceroys in protecting foreigners commands confidence in their good faith; and negotiations will probably he conducted through them. There is a financial panic in Chinese business circles here. Probably an important factor is the money rate, which is now 3fi per cent, per month. The traders are trying to get the ear of the officials. Li Ilung Chang still remains in Shanghai. He is thoroughly discredited but is intriguing to get the foreigners to quarrel anionr themselves. Tnd.iv lie n ' " " " ""'V **v told American and English diplomats that tiie Rusamiis had promised to withdraw from Pekin regardless of the policy of other nations. His statement I is not believed. On the contrary it is thought probable that he is simultaneously assuring the Russians that the Americans and British have promised to withdraw.

Much as compressmen would like to have larniers believe , otherwise, the American Cotton I Company has no purpos further ' than to secure lor itself a fair ] share of these savings. Its inter est lies in enabling the presses which it builds to bale as much ' of the Southern cotton crop as possible. In order to insure this I result it is essential that cotton growers find profit in the use of these presses, or they would not patronize them. To this end, and 1 in order that the full savings of ' whieh rmitwllan l>nh>? 9rrf nana I ble might be realized, the Araer- 1 ican Cotton Company became a i buyer of roundiap bales, paying I for them a premium above the market value of square bales. Thus the rental which the com- I panv charges for the use of its presses by ginnors who prefer lense to purchase, is paid by | neither the farmer nor the gin ner, but by the cotton buyer (whether the American Cotton Company or some other) and it | is paid out of the savings.
