Governor Guy Usee Force to Take Hh Seat
In the CAiokasaw Capital.

came up from Dausherty, Tex, that Gov
ernor Guy marched into Tishomingo, Chick
ssas's capital, yesterday with an armed
force to take his seat Governor Guy vas
legally elected governor but Was counted out
by the Byrd party. Byrd took his seat a.
governor, but a it was illegal he could not
expect to be recognized By the United
States government or by the Guy party.
Governor Guy quietly gathered some Of hia
party and took the capital and the Byrd
party by surprise. The legislature had not
adjourned. The administration had been
calling on the Guy officers for possession Of
all moneys, reports, etc, but Vas quietly
put on until Governor Guy was ready to
take possession again.
Mr.. Byrd was so dumbfounded when hs
recognized Governor Guy at the head of his
men marching to the capital that he was un-
able to speak for several moments. There
was no trouble. but it ia expected at any
time, and Governor Guy will do all in his.
power 10 prevent it. As soon as all the Byrd
men are aware Of the change Of governor
ship hot times are expected. Il was rumored
that the government troops will be held in
readiness to move On the calital at q min
ute's notice if trouble occurs betwesn the
Byrd-G Guy parties.

Excited New York Brokers.

New YORK, September r29.-Probably never
before in the history of the produce exchange
has such scene of wild excitement been
witnessed in the reightorhoOd of the build
ing as took place there after tho
markets closed to-day. During the day
the one subject of conversation was
the Hutchinson "Chicago wheat corner"
The New York market however vas scarcely
affected by the western squeeze, and closed
in conformity with the Saturday half holi-
day law, at noon at l to Is points higher
than Fridays close. Even this advance was
attributed to higher cables from Havre and
Hamburg rather than to "Old Hutch's"
operations. When the gong sounded for the
close of Change about 300 wheat brokers we're
congrsgated around the pit loudly selling
and buying wheat. Many transactions were
interrupted by the gong. A large number
of brokers were reported to be short of De-
cember option, and rather than be caught
determined to risk an infringement
of the exchange rules. No at
tention was paid to the signal and
bidding went on uninterrupted. When the
excitement was increased by a telegram
from Chicago stating that s'Old Hutch" had
