GREAT GEREUONY -FOR FREDERICK. Direct from ft Charlotte, N. Nov. 19. Theodore H.

Price, of New York, who arrived here today to look over the cotton situation, reiterated what he has said before, that nine cents is a high price for the product. Mr. Price said that he was swinging through the South on a little trip to investigate cotton crop conditions, and that, owing to his views, he felt that, to some extent, he was taking his life in his hands, but he was agreeably surprised to find that he was cordially received, and even some of the farmers agreed with him In his expectations of lower prices, although they admitted this indirectly. "Even the farmers," said Mr. Price, "admit, although reluctantly, that the crop this year is extraordinarily good." Continuing, Mr.

Price said: "I am making a short trip through the cotton belt, and from what I have seen In the section of the country around Charlotte, I am convinced that my expectations of a record-breaking crop will be more than fulfilled. I went out Into the country after arriving in Charlotte this morning and looked at a number of cotton fields, and I must i say that the crop is even better than 1 1 expected to find it. I am going to take pictures of the cotton fields, as they appear, to New York and Bhow the people up there just what I found." At this juncture it was suggested that a prominent cotton merchant of Charlotte had said that only 5 per cent, ot the crop remained unpicked. "If that Is the case," replied Mr. Price, "I shall have to revise my figures, for if 95 per cent, of the crop has been picked, the South will yield this year something In the neighborhood of bales." Mr.

Price persists in believing that the crop will be in the neighborhood of 12.000,000 bales and that 9 cents will be a big price. In support of his position he refers to the action of the English spinners, who are reported to have 80 per cent, of the cotton they will require this season on hand. They bought this cotton at low prices and are selling their manufactured products at a profit. TOM WATSON IS RAMPANT. Says Populists Will Sweep the country In 1008.

It is reported that a battle between the two armies below Mukden is in full swing. The war office does not confirm the rumor, though it admits that activity all along the line indicates that both armies are ready. The Russians, according to Gen. Kuropatkin's report, are pressing the Japanese left, while a very significant movement by the Japanese is reported at Sintisintin, 45 miles east of Mukden. A special correspondent, telegraphing under last night's date, says that the battle has begun and that the thunder of the guns Is Increasing.

Gen. Stoessel, In a dispatch dated November 21, says: "I am happy to report to your ma jesty that all assaults from October 25 to November 2 were repulsed. The most desperate assault occurred on October 13, but thanks to the bayonets of the reserves and the bravery of the volunteer sharpshooters, the enemy was repulsed at all points. The day following, the enemy twice assaulted but was each time repulsed at thr point of the bayonet and by hand gren. ades.

The spirit of the troops is excellent. I estimate the Japanese losses at ten thousand." Today may mark a red letter day In the Russian calendar. About one hundred representatives of the provincial Zemstovs assembled privately at 2 o'clock this afternoon with the avowed purpose of presenting to Emperor Nicholazs, through Interior Minister Sviatopolk Mirsky, a truthful picture of the Internal conditions of Russia, coupled with recommendations pointing out In plain terms the necessity for calling legally empowered constituents In assembly to have direct voice In the government. The word "constitution," however, will be carefully avoided. The meeting was to be held at Duma or city hall, but at the last moment official auspices were refused, the Emperor withdrawing his consent.

They however were permitted to meet privately, police protection being granted. At the meeting this afternoon seven of the ten articles composing the prepared memorandum were accepted. These sections declare that abominable conditions in Russia, the result of complete estrangement of the government and the people are due to the absence of essential mutual confidence; that the conditions necessitate freedom of conscience, press and the privilege of meeting In union. The last article which Is still unacted upon, declares that It Is Imperatively necessary that there be national representation based on the elective principle for the settlement of questions between the government and the people.

19. Yale earned a victory, which in every way was satisfactory to her friends, over her old time enemy, Harvard, in the presence of 32,000 spectators on Yale field this afternoon. The final score was 12 to 0. The game was one in which the men in blue proved the superiors of their brawnier set of opponents, both In the art of defense and of offense. Yale's team work was perfect, especially in charging the line.

Harvard's aim was to gain ground on the ends, but In nearly every instance these efforts failed. The precision with which Yale moved at all times, the united action of the backs with the linesmen, stamped Capt. Hogan's team as one of the most remarkable that ever went on a field to uphold the glory of the blue. Among the distinguished spectators were Vice President-elect Charles W. Fairbanks and Mrs.

Fairbanks, who have two sons at Yale; J. Pierpont Morgan, and August Belmont of New York. Miss Alice Roosevelt and a party of four sat In the Harvard section. The weather was almost ideat for the contest and the crowds that swarmed to the field shouted Joyfully over the Yale triumph.

Charleston defeated the South Carolina College football team this afternoon by the score of 8 to 0 after one of the most desperate and hard fought grid-Iron battles ever seen on the local grounds. Both elevens were In perfect condition and training and each Inch of ground was stubbornly contested. The ball was In Carolina territory most of the time and they were frequently forced to punt In order to make the required gain, though Charleston also resorted to kicking on several occasions.

The first and only score was made on an attempted goal from the field in the first half when Tutwiler, on the fifteen yard line, signalled for a kick. The ball was blocked at the goal line and one of the Carolina men started to run with It. He stumbled, fumbled the ball and a Charleston man carried it over, scoring the only touch down. It was one of hardest games seen here in years. LIVE SPORTING NEWS.
