The whole matter is still involved in great uncertainty, so that it is impossible to predict what form the final agreement will take." The correspondent of the Asso ciated Press today interviewed the Chinese minister here, wbo said : ' There cannot be a question of the execution of Prince Tuan or Gen j Tung Fuh Sian, who are still de facto in control of tbe court They both keep tbe emperor and empress virtually prisoners Tbe court is unable to go to Fekin even if inclined to do so Besides the long journey from S i an Fu to Pekin, now that the snow is on the gronnd, is almost impossible with the vehicles in those primitive districts Starving out the | court is not feasible The allies will I be unable to carry out such a meas ure However, even if it were pos 8tWe, the provinces would ri*6e in a body for the court's defense.

Mr Neill, secretary of the Now Orleans cotton exchange, whose cotton estimates are always received with respeot by the public, places the crop now being marketed at between 9,500, OOO and 9,750.000 bales. The New York Commercial, a very careful newspaper, considers Mr Neill's estimate too high The Commercial estimates the crop at 9.237.793. This conclusion is based upon information from correspondents in all parts of all the cotton skates aud if it is correct rbis year's crop is about 200.0U0 less than that ff last year Texas and Arkansas arc the only stare- in which lhere waa an increase of co'ton production this year.

Th* C oimerciii places Georgia's crop at. 91.?U0 bales less than ic was last year The Mississippi shortage is piaced at 200,000 bahs. Tbe Commer? cial's C'Mma'e is the most conservative one that we have seen, but it comes from a vsry intelligent souroe and is based on lar?o. information from trust? worthy sources. - Atlanta Journal. j Treaty With Nicaragua. mt ^ J I I Granting U.

I at once wired Capt Wheaton, with chain gaDg, to bring dog (we only have one), also to the eheriff of Florence couuty for their dogs, but did not get them I felt confident that we would get him that night or next ? day Thought be would, on account of his youth, surely return borne or ! to that neighborhood at least I kept up the search and a vigilant lookout for several days. I took Lesesne out of jail that night, about 8 o'clock, after putting a pair of handcuffs on him ; did not bind his legs, as I intended taking bim a roundabout way across fields, ditches, etc, to or near the depot and secret him there until the down train to Lane's I did not use or exercise the precautions I would have had he been a man He was a mere boy, sciie 14 or 15 yoars old, said he was 14, weighed about 90 or 100 pounds When I got him down to a little cnlvert on the railroad just above the jail be made his escape. I could, of course, have gotten help to tak* him to the depot, but did not wish to at? tract attention, if possible. After his escape I immediately went to the jail and gave the alarm and apprised others of the facts and immediately began the search, with results an 6tated. In conclusion will say that I bad LO desire for him to escape or the remotest idea that be would Neither did any lynching party take him from me Respectfully your obedient servant, J D.

How Mr Levy contracted the disease is not koowo Dr Redfearn deoided yesterday that Mr Levy had eoarlet fever. Dr Hardin, a prominent phy? sician of Washingtoo, D.

It was ?eot into the institatio? io the most unexpected manner. Ii seems that there are a Dumber of cases io Uoioo county, aod receotly several cases developed io the county jail. The couoty officials, despite this, teDt a negro lunatic to the jail whiie bis com? mitment papers were beiog prepared. &s soon ss the papers were made oat the fellow was brought OD here to the hospital.

The mighty nation has now a pop uiation of 76,250,000 In the short space of ten year? there has been an increase of Dearly 13 250.000. which is equivalent to almost 21 per cent for the decade, or rather more than 2 per cent per annum When we remember that 200 years agc the population of the States was under o!!0,C00-or rather more than the present population o? Bradford-and that 100 years sgo it was but little over 5,000.000, it will be seen with what amazing rapidity the young giaDt among the nations has built up his strength The growth of popu? lation is the infallible test of national prosperity and advancement Ne nation has ever yet risen to greatness with a dwindling population, and probably none ever will. Declining numbers have been the invariable concomitant of national stagnation and decadence The growth of the power of Great Britain, Germany and Russia beare witness to the truth of this sweeping generalization. Americans, therefore, may be weft content with the progress they have made in the last decade. These figures afford them ampie reason for pride and jubilation The only great power of the present day which can vie with them in numbers is Russia, and in wealth, in energy, in adapta? bility, in education and in that cunning industrial skill which is the foundation of material prosperity they far outstrip the subjects of the czar.
