It is the belief of the cotton-growers that the report published June 1, under the di rection of the deposed assistant statis tician. Edwin S. Holmes. Jr., was dis torted and inaccurate. Mr, Jordan said that Mr. Wilson re- What Liquid Sunshine Does Cures the Most Rebellious Diseases When All Other What Liquid Sunshine Is . Liquid Sunshine is the new and wonderful, successful, concentrated liglit treatment re cently, discovered, after years of experiment, experience and scientific laboratory study. It is practically crystallized Sunlight that positively destroys disease germs and focuses the invigorating effects and potent chemical power of the sun's rays on enfeebled por tions of the human system, no matter how deeply hidden, penetrating, as its name implies, through the entire body, reaching and curing the most rebellious, obstinate and long-standing maladies. t How Liquid Sunshine Acts The body is made up of vital cells that in a healthy person are continuall' wearing out and being renewed. Your health depends on these cells being kept in a normal and healthy condition. The almost magical action of Liquid Sunshine upon the cells of the hu man body is like the stimulating influence of sunlight on plants, renewing and invigorating every psirt AYlien the nerves improperly feed the life-giving cells, the all-powerful Liquid Sunshine treatment liberates and increases nerve energy and thus animates the tor pid cells, giving them the needed incentive for renewed and normal action and augment ing the power of absorption thus enabling them to accept the nutrition supplied by the blood. . Liquid Sunshine Cures Nature's Way Liquid Sunshine is the common-sense, natural method of building up injured and de stroyed organs, and is the only logical treatment of the day indorsed by clergymen of all denominations, approved by the best plrysieians in Europe and America, who are sending us their wives, patients and families to be cured, and this aproval is confirmed by unso licited testimonials of hundreds of the thankful, whose health has been restored by Liquid Sunshine Dr. William Walters, Bedford Square, West London, Eng land physician in. ordinary to her late Majesty, Queen Vic toria, under date June JL8, writes: LONDON, England, Jaac IS, 1865.

In 'which the .Emperor pledges himself-to do everything possible to lighten the heavy task of the army, and expresses confidence that all obstacles would finally be" overcome, and the war would end happily1 for the Rus sian army, as proof that' the Emperor has not Intention to make peace 'at any price. As further evidence, the Sviet draws at tention to the unusual note -attached to the official announcement of M. "Witte's appointment: "Being intimately acquainted with tho situation, M. "Witte Trill undoubtedly be equal to the high and" important mission with which the Emperor has- graciously charged .him, and know how to protect tbo Interests of Russia." The Slovo thinks that the desire of tho powers', especially Great Britain, in view of Emperor "Wllllam'-s attitude -toward Franc, to see Russia rehabilitated In order to preserve thcshalanpe jof power id Europe, should become a" strong diplo matic weapon In the hands cf trie Russian plenipotentiaries for the restoration prac tically of the status quo ante bclli.m.

PLEASED AT CRIXA'S PROTEST Russia Thinks It May Restrict De - mantis of Japan. ST. PETERSBURG. July 16.-l:23 A. il.) China's possible role in the Russo-Japanese peace negotiations is attracting more attention. The Foreign Offlcc Inti mates that China's notification that she would decline, unless assent was previ ously given to her. sending a representa tive to the peace conference, to consider the "Washington treaty binding if Its pro visions affecting Chinese territory, where regarded as prejudicial, was sent to all the powers in the form of a circular note. Russia, according to the Foreign Office, sent no reply to Pekin, but It may be significant that some papers which occa sionally have official Inspiration, like Prince Ouktomskya Vicdornostl. look with complaisance, if not satisfaction, on the prospect that China may try to have a voice in the terms of peace. Their argu ment is that any action on China's part will necessarily be la the direction of re stricting Japan's war spirit, and that the other powers, especially the United States, In support. of the principles of the Chi nese territorial integrity, will be com pelled to a greater or less extent to sup port the Chinese claims.

Carrying Ills Scheme for Reorganizing Indian Army Now Combine to Take General's Scalp. LQNDON, July 15. (Special.) The victory scored by Lord Kitchener, re markable as it was in its completeness and reformatory correctives of the In dian army, may yet prove the politi cal undoing of that great soldier and there is no effort on anybody's part to deny the fact that without political power no man in .Great Britain can maintain a position secured by sheer force of his talents and personal strength. True enougi), the great re organization scheme will be worked out just as Kitchener proposed it; and in later years may be termed the salva tion of the Indian empire, but the mau himself Is tottering on the throne that he built for himself with the work of his own hands. His most powerful enemy today is Lord Curzoo, India's Viceroy, who.e influence is perhaps second to it one, and who, were he to choose England in stead of India as the sphere of hU activity, could make and unmake min istries. That ho was defeated In his own camp, so to speak, by Lord Kitrin cner, was due to the very fact that the conflict took place and was decided very far away from home, many weeks before tho mother country had the slightest inkling of the comlnsr of the now famous report on "the rotten sys tem. It Is now known that all of Simla knew of the impending sensa tion, but Lord Curson was evidently too proud to seek aid In London, or have the members of his following speak for mm. Now, however, that the whole un savory scandal Is known to the pub lic, the loser in the fight believes him self at liberty to strike at the victor and has beep Joined In this attempt by Lord George Hamilton, ex-Secretary for India. Not that any denial Is made of the right of Kitchener's position. It Is conceded that the officials should have seen and remedied what the sol dlcrs saw and compelled them to rem edy. But their grievance Is that Lord Kitchener did not proceed by a method of mutual understanding, but simply gave officialdom a fair period within which to awaken to its duty and, this term having expired, acted independ cntly. Kitchener's programme includes the following main features: Nine army di visions for India In peace or war, and a year's supplies; an increase- of the field army from 80,000 to 140,000 men; the provision of mobilization, equip ment, transport and stores; the re grouping of troops so as to bring them nearer the northwestern frontier; the institution of manufacturing depart ments employing 150,000 to- 20,903 w.orkmen, including cordite, gun, rifle anu norseshoe and leather. factories.
