Cnrhett Arraicned.

Hot SPRINGS, Ark, Oct. l9.-Corbett
was brought into the. city yesterday
morning by the sheriff and arraigned
before a justice of the peace on the
charge of conspiring to commit assault
and battery upon the person of one
Bob Fitzsimmons.
Taking testimony began at 1:45, at
which time Joe Vendig was placed on
the stand for the purpose of proving
that the defendant had entered into
an agreement to meet Fitzsimmons
here on October 81 in a limited contest
with 1T gloves, and at any time the
referee thought the contest brutal he
had power to call it off. Before
the testimony Of Vendig had been
taken Attorney Mart n, for the de-
fense, asked that Corbett be excused,
as he had to take the o'clock train
for Little Ro.lz. The. judge consented
but had the sheriff send a deputy
along to see that Cor5ett got back in
time for the reconvening of court to-
day at 1:30 p N.

Joe Vendig Was the First to be
Examined.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct. 19.-If the
matter is left to the courts to settle, it
would seem to be a certainty that Cor
bett and Fitzsimmons will meet on Oc-
tober 81, provided Fitzsimmons will
agree to the new articles. Prepare
tions for the affair are being pushed
right along at the Springs. The rail-
roads have a force of men at work
building side tracks for the aecommo-
dation of special trains, and the hotels
are preparing for the influx of the
multitude
Newspaper men are coming in on
every tram from ali parts of the
United States, and some well-known
sporting editors are already on the
ground. 1t is expected that at least
200 will be here by the end of the
week. The telegraph companies are
making preparations TO afford proper

AN ACUTE STAGE.
tt Venezuela Question win Have to
Be Settled Soon.

New YORK, Oct l9.-That the Ven
ezuelan question is approaching an
accute stage. with possibilities of re-
sistance by the South American gov
eminent to British ag preston, was
signifed by disclosures made in
New York yesterday on the best au-
thority. The government of Ven
ezuela has provided itself with
modern armament, and, among
other supplies, has. ordered ten i'm
proved Maxim guns from the British
firm which manufactures them. The
order was not placed through
any firm and the English house,
it is supposed, does not know the
destination OF the goods. At the same
tine the syndicate of United States
capitalists which has secured conces-
sions on the Venezuelan gold lands
claimed by Great Britain is preparing
to sead large force of prospectors,
miners and workmcn into the field.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS.
Events of the week Were Promising in.
Their Nature

Their Nature
New YORK, Oct. l9-Dun's review
says: Failures for October thus far
cover liabilities of SO, 925. 500, of which
81, $50, POS We're of manufacturing, and
s., 1875, 534 of trading concerns. Fail
ures for the week have been 263 in the
United States against 253 last year.
and 40 in Canada against 43 last year.
The events of the week are pro1nis-
ing in nature, though the speculative
markets are not entirely encouraging.
The great advance in cotton so de-
ranged exports that shipments of gold
were for a time apprehended, but the
break in the market indicates that the
natural movement of the product may
soon be restored. The hating of de-
mand and moderate yielding of prices
in the great industrial market shows
that a season of reasonable attention
to natural conditions has arrived, and
gives hope that the future demand
will be more nearly proportional to
actual consumption. The week has
brought little further decline in iron
and steel products, in hides and
leather, and a more yielding tone in
boots and shoes.
Wheat does not go out freely, and
the attempt to advance prices on Mon
day was followed by an immediate de-
cline. The Atlantic exports, flour in
Guided, have been in the past three
weeks, 4,559, 455 bushels, against
S,347,l1 last year, and the big ship
ments from Russia and of late from
Argentine show that the world is not
, yet obliged to pay Atlantic prices
Tor American wheat. Western re-
ceipts for the week We're remarkably
large, {, 753,0O9 bushels, and for three
weeks 2l,638,977, against 14,o17, POI

ket and the largest output of -four ever
known at Minneapoli are not evil
dence of great shortage yield, but
abe price has changed o ly an eighth
for the week. Corn is stronger with
out clear reason, for while exports in
three weeks are {, 326;254 bushe Is,
against 236, 705 last year, they can at
best dispose of only an insignificant
fraction of the great yield. Some of
the railroads report large gains in
earnings, but on the whole returns are
still ST per cent smaller than in 1892,
/ though I. larger than last year
Textile manufacturers have strong
markets for materials to support them.
But scarcely any advance is seen this
week in cotton goods, though the rise
for the month has averaged f. per
cent. The price of some worsteds has
been advanced because advanced
abroad, but it is as questionable as
ever how far the market can be held
by domestic makers, and wooden man
ufacturers have TO face, not only for
eign competition, but an especial ten
dcncy of popular demand toward
worsted fabrics. Sale OF wool, 81. 200, :

against 13,701. 500 in 1898, greatly ex-
coed actual consumption.

in Chicago, where an efficient system
of inspection and testing and has been
developed. The bureau issues to in

value of the dissemination of such in

Dispersion OF Plant Dis .aSes,

1t is remarked in tao Kew Bnlletia
that the dispersion OF pian5 diseases
through the interchange of plants isa
peril requiring careful precautions.
The phylloxera was introduced from
England into Switzerland. The coffee.
leaf disease has been conveyed from
Ceylon on the one hanl to FIJI (witl
seeds, where it practically extin.
guished the promising coffee industry,
and to German East Africa on the
other. 1t has always been matter of
the deepest anxiety lest by any acci-
dent it should be introduced through
Kew to the New World, where it does
not at present exist. 1t has been no
less matter of anxiety lest the coffee
leaf miner should be introduced into

doubtedly, an involuntary hospitality

Little more of conquest seems left

skin and his fiery cayuse have been
subdued. Two Indians on horseback
were cutting up capers in Pendleton,
Oregon, and broke several city ordi-
nances in a few minutes. Marshal
Means started to arrest them, and the
Indians put spurs to their horses and
made for the prairie. The Marshal is
an expert bicyclist, and he mounted
his wheel, and, with one hand grasp.
ing the handle bar and the other
clutching his gun, he put after the
fleeing redskins. Before he had
reached the city limits he had winged
one, and a few hundred yards further
he caught up with tho other and
brought him back in triumph.

The Atlanta Journal observes Esti
mates by the Indian Bureau based
on the fullest and most reliable data
obtainable place our local Indian popu.
lation, exclusive of Alaska, at 2I3,- =
253. The New York Commercial Ad.
vertiser compares these figures with
previous estimates and concludes that
they indicate the probable disappear
ance of the Indian before the end of
another century. A continued de-
crease at the rate for the past twenty.
five years would verify this prediction.
just before the annexation of Texas
our Indian population was estimated
at 100000. The census Of 1870 put
the number at $50, 900. 4 decrease of
over 1000 since 1870 shows ter
rible rate OF decline, the most rapid
that has been known i'll any quarter
OF century. But there are hopeful
signs to relieve this dark picture. In
1871 the number of Indians on the
reservations was 237,47S, more than
twothirds of all. This year there are
on reservations only 1873, All Indians,
about one-third of the whole number.
This comparison shows how success.
fully the effort to settle Indians on
farms oftheir own has been prosecuted.
A majority of all our Indians are now
said to be self-supporting. The i'm.
provement among them has been
stea-y and there Is reason to expect
that it will continue even more salts.
factorily. Some Of the civilized tribes
are wealthy, and among nearly all OF
them there is n growing appreciation
of the virtues which strengthen n
people. The Indians generally appoar
to be coming to proper sense OF
their situation and the cultivation of
the peaceful arts is progressing in
nearly all the tribes. 1t is evident
that the rate of their decrease for the
past twenty. five years will not con.
tinue, andwe shall not be surprised to
see at the next census q substantial in.
crease of the number of Indians now
reported. There is no danger OF tho
extinction OF this interesting race.
