St. Petersburg, Special.?The news General Kuropatkin's successful repulse of the Japanese advance comes most opportunely.

Special.?What is firmly believed will be the solution of the cotton situation was reached here Wednesday, when the cotton conven- j tlon without a dissenting vote declared ( in favor of a 25 per cent reduction in acreage and an equal reduction in commercial fertilizer, and backed that 1 action up with the adoption of a com- i prchensive plan to secure the support j of every, farmer, big and little, in the cotton belt An overwhelming majority of the delegates were present when J the report was received and acted < upon. i At th opening afternoon session for- , mer Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina. spoke along the lines of national ' protection for the cotton growers, saying that heretofore the cotton planter had been sacrificed to the doctrine of free raw material. A reference to President Roosevelt's 1 Kindness to the South provoked a fa- < vorable demonstration on the part of ] the audience. Former LieutenantGovernor Jester, of Texas, from the committee on "holding and financing * the balance of the present crop," pre- f ented a report setting forth that each t 8tate and local faction stems amply 2 able to finance its present holdings. The committee OTlleved that the cot- 1 ton now in the hands of the producers < should remain on the farm or be t stored in local warehouses, protected x against weather and fire, and said that the banks and commission men 1 evidenced a willingness to aid in mar- K keting the balance of the crop so as 1 to bold in check any disposition to j, rush in cotton unduly and break the market. Belief was expressed that 1 25 per cent, reduction in acreage and r 25 per cent reduction in fertilizers 1 will solve the cotton problem.r ^ After the convention trad voted an invitation to Capt.

SPEAKS AT CHURCH DEDICATION Mr. Roosevelt Declare# That the Lutheran Church in the United States Is Already of Great Power and isDestined to be One of the Two or Three Greatest National Churches. Washington, Special. ? President. * Roosevelt delivered an address Sunday at the re^Jedication of the Luth r Place Memorial church, which was seriously damaged by fire just one year ago Sunday night while a sociable given in honor of the 78th. birthday , anniversary of the pastor, the Rev. Dr. J. G. Butler, was in progress. The :hurch has been entirely restored and was occupied for the first time since die fire Sunday. The President spoke in part as follows: "From the standpoint from which I un obliged so continually to look at natters, there is a peculiar function :o be played by the great Lutheran Thurch in the United States of Amer- ? ca. This is a Church which had its ise to power In, and until it emigrated to this* side of-the water,'Bad ilways had its fullest development in. he two great races in northern and xortherhv middle Eurppe-r-the German v ?... ind the Scandinavian. The prime duty >f those already in the land is to see hat their own progress and developnent are shared by newcomers from J icross the sea. It is a serious and * langerous thing for any man to tear oose from the soil, in which he and ill forhdiri hftVA tibpn rnnf tn h? ' ranslated into new land. He should eceive all possible aid in that new and; and the aid can be tendered iim most effectively by those who can ppeal to him on the ground of spiriual kinship. Therefore the Lutheran Ihurch can do most in helping uprards and onwards so many of the ewcomers to our shores; and it seems 0 me that it should be the duty of this !hurch to see that the immigrants, and specially the emigrants cf Lutheran alth from the old world, may be not uffered to drift off with no friendly and to him out of the Church comlunion. The Lutheran Church in this ountry is of very great power now, umerically and through the intellience and thrift of its members, but it h.. grow steadily to even greater ower. It is destined*to. J)e one of two , r three greatest and most important' ational Churches in the United itates; one of the two or three churcbs most distinctively American, most istlnctlvely among the forces that re to tell for making this great ountry even greater in the future, 'herefore a peculiar load of responsibly rests upon tne members of this Ihurch. "It is an important thing for the eople of this nation to remember their Ight, but it is an even more importnt thing for them to remember their uties. In the last analysis, the work f statesmen and soldiers, the work of he public man shall go for nothing ' it is not based upon the spirit of Ihristianity working in the millions of omes throughout this country, so hat there may be that social, that piritual, that moral foundation, withut which no country can ever rise to ermanent greatness. For material rell-being, material prosperity, success 1 arts, in letters, great industrial trt- - jy mphs, all of them and all cf the tructure raised thereon will be as taucaccui as a uimiu, 11 11 uun uui rat on the righteousness that exalteth nation. .. "Let me congratulate you, and conratulate all of us, that we live in a md and at a time when we accept : as natural that there should be an iter-denominational service of thanksivlng, such a ceremony as is to take lace this afternoon, in which the astors of other churches join to conratulate themselves and you upon the e-building of this church. The forces f evil are strong and mighty in this entury and in this country, as they re in other countries, as they have een in all the past centuries; and lie people who sincerely wish to do tie Lord's work will find ample oportunity for all their labor in flghtig the common enemy an 1 in assumlg toward their fellow-* cf a different onfeseion an attitude of generous ivalry in the effort to see how the lost good can be done to our people s a whole.
