The cotton market opened at an
advance of to points. the best OF
the session. and from this there was
a reaction of from 2 to points. with
the market finally quiet at the lowest
prices of the day. Total sales, $500
bales The early iirmness was due to
the higher cables and the temporary
effect OF the Washington crop report.

understood here for several days that
the government figures would point
to about a crop of 100000 bales, al

crop have already shown up. AS soon
as the local traders had read the re-
port they commenced to sell out, and
the market sagged as indicated.

Cavalry to Be Used to Drive Men from
 Oklahoma Indian Aliottments.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l. - Secretary Smith will at once issue instructions to the Indian division of the interior department to prepare list of in- truders on Indian allotments in Okla homa. This will be forwarded at once to the war department and troops will be ordered to eject them. The Indian police, under the authority of the agent at the Sac and Fox agency, have Intellectually endeavored to eject the intruders, and it is feared that a con. tinuance of their efforts will result in bloodshed. A troop of cavalry will therefore be ordered out and as soon as the list shall be completed all the intruders will be run off the al- lotted lands.

STILL A PROBLEM.
The Big Fight May and May Not Be Pulled
 On In ArkauRna,

HOT STRINGS, Ark, Oct 2l.-In prize
 fight circles yesterday was the most quiet day that has been experienced here in a week. The Hobbies of the hotels were deserted, and the familiar faces of such pugilistic luminaries as Vendig, Stuart. Brady and Delaney were noticeable by their absence. Since the decision of Chancellor Leatherman.
 however, there appears to be feeling
 of more assurance engendered in the
 minds of the people of the ability
 of the Florida Athletic club to
 bring off the glove contests here as billed. All doubt has been
 removed as to the existence of any
 statutory provision prohibiting glove
 contests or prize fights by which there
 can be any legal interference brought
 to bear to stop Corbett and Fitzsim- mons from coming into the state with
 the determination to engage in their contest The day of the fight has not
 been fully determined upon by the officials of the club. It is thought that either the l4th or 18th will be selected for the Corbett- t-Fitzsimmons affair.
 The probable action of Gov. Clarke, in view of the decision of the chancel- Tor, is the subject of much comment and surmise. His declaration at the beginning that he would not call out the legislature if the men fought in the state house yard is remem bered. and tlie fear now is that he will not abide by it, but will call an extra session of the legislature at once. It is recognized fact that the governor has now no law to warrant him in calling upon the militia without first being called upon to do so by the civil authorities of Garland county. and the opinion is freely ex- pressed here that the sheriff meant every word in his letter to the gov. ernor, and which is supposed to have reached him yesterd ay morning.

Weather Bureau Information as to the
 Present Proiongued Dry Spell
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 2I.-Reports re- ceived at the weather bureau indicate that the present drought is one of the severest, most prolonged and general known in the United States since the bureaus organization. There are a few places which show an exception to the general condition, but in no large section of the country unless perhaps in the northwest and far west does there appear to have been a heavy rain for the past two months or more. Where there has been exceptional pre-. cipitation,it has been confined to small areas. In some parts of the country drought began in the latter part of July, but in most of the sections it did not become markedly pronounced un. in August.
