LITTLE Rock, Oct. l6.-Governor Clarke's
determination 20 stop the Corbett-Fitz-
simmons contest at any cost was empha-
size. by the presence In this city Of Gen.
e.al Taylor, of Forest City, brigadier gen.
eral of the Arkansas state Guard, who
was summoned to the capital by telegraph
to confer with the governor In regard 10
the strength of the state militia General
Taylor was In conference with Governor
Clarke for an hour, and when seen later
by a reporter was preparing to take the
afternoon train for Hot Springs. General
Taylor said positively that the fight
would not occur His purpose in going
20 hot Springs, he said, was to warn the
people there against the danger to which
they would subject themselves should any
attempt be made to bring the contest off.
Not Dependent ON the State Guard.
The State Guard, General Taylor said,
was in good condition and amply suf
ficicnt to cope with the case i'm hand. He
could he said, with few hours notice
land $50 wcll-drilled and fully equipped
men at Hot Springs. General Taylor will
return to this city today and advise Gov
ernor Clarke as to the situation at Hot
Springs and the result of his visit there.
Governor Clarke when questioned by an
Associated Press representative in refer
ence to his consultation with General
Taylor was not disposed to talk. Asked
If he had confidence in the ability of the
State Guard TO carry out his plans, he
said that the militia was a matter of
secondary consideration; that he could
get all the force necessary outside of the
military companies.
Won't Even Let EN- Shake Hands.
Suppose, Governor Clarke" suggested
the reporter "Corbett and Fitzsimmons
should desire to give an exhibition OF
physical culture in Hot Springs on Oct.
81 in which large, soft gloves were to be
used, would that also be stopped by mill
tary force?"
"Corbett and Fitzsimmons shall not
meet in Hot Springs in any kind Of a con-
test" said Governor Clarke, emphatically.
IF they ever meet they will fight, and
they shall not fight in Arkansas. They
shall not meet i'm Hot Springs, either in or
out of ring They shall not even shake
hands"
When asked IL Corbett would be ar
rested upon his arrival at Hot Springs
Governor Clarke said that "a good general
never disclosed his plans to the enemy.

~ Fnvmers' Congress ~ Atlanta Places
Itself On Record.
ATLANTA, Oct. 1b-Soon after the Farm
ers' National Congress, which met mere
last week and has been holding daily ses
sions since resumed Its session yesterday
morning, q sensation was sprung In the
form OF q fight on free silver which 10
suited In the complete defeat OF the 10 TO
forces BY vote II PSI el4 to loa DIS
the congress refused 20 insert the words
''at a ratio not to exceed 10 TO l. In q reso-
luton asking congress TO use both gold
and silver on parity, and calling for an
international conference on the monetary
question. The resolution was one which
had lust come from the committee on res
olutions and was reported favorahly. 1t
was offered by DIR. j. G. Odut, q promi-
nent delegate from Indiana.
In substance, 1t deprecated the present
condition of finance in this country and
called upon the president of the Units.
States to call an international congress q
all nations willing to unite in the equa
use of both gold and silver. Then the
free silver delegates wanted the paragraph
changed SO as to read willing to unite
in the equal use of both gold and silver at
a ratio not to exceed 10 to l." Numbers
of delegates jumped to their feet, and 1t
was soon evident that the congress was
opposed to the amendment. The ques-
tion was first put viva voce, and the noes
had it evidently. A vote by states was
called for and resulted in the rejection OF
the amendment by a vote Of Psi Ola to
1O45-14. Georgias delegation was divided.
The states known as the silver states
favored the amendment and the east, the
north and the south voted almost solidly
against 1t.
The fight was made squarely on the
merits of the question, and the issue was
in no way clouded with parliamentary
technicalities. Those delegates who IA
vored the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver at 10 to voted for the amendment,
and it was lost by a majority of 147. The
victory of the Sound money" element in
the congress was emphasized later in the
day when a resolution declaring opposi-
tion to the further issue of interest-bear-
ing treasury bonds or notes under any cir
cumstances was lost. A resolution favor
ing congressional enactment against the
beef trust WAS adopted

Though overwhelmed and shattered in

this about.

Although you are behind prison bars, de-
prived CT your liberty by a corrupt and

as they were in 1894 and honor you as the

Information comes from a private source
that the Florida Athletic club is consider
ing plan by which they hope to overcome
the obstacles placed before them by Gov
ernor Clarke. The scheme is to turn the
whole affair over to the Hot Springs
Athletic association. That association
was Incorporated by the state of Arkansas
on Sept. q. 1896, by William L. Babcock,
John c. Lonsdale. and Charles II Weaver,
all of Hot Springs. According to its char
ter the Hot Springs Athletic association
was organized for the purpose Of Garry
ing on the business of maintaining park
or place of recreation in or near the city
of Hot Springs where races, athletic exer-
cises and games may be practiced and ex-
hibited, and other amusements and means
of entertainment may be furnished either
to the public, or such persons, or assocla-
tions as may from time To time be admit
ted thereto"
Under this charter the people interested
believe they can conduct a boxing match
limited to a specified number of rounds
with soft gloves without violating any
state law. When informed of this scheme
Governor Clarke stated that the state
chartered corporations and associations
for legal purposes only, and thatpo viola
tion of the law would be tolerated under
the guise Of amusement. He was not pre-
pared, however, to state just what legal
effect the proposed change would have.

NEW YORK, Oct. l2.-Bradstreet's says:
Cooler weather has stimulated a season
able demand for staple dry goods, millin-
cry and clothing, and jobbers in these lines
in all parts of the country feel the i'm
provement. Relatively most gain has
been made at the SOUTH where an improve
ment is reported in almost all lines The
more unfavorable features are found in
disappointment at the moderation with
which wheat is exported from week to
week, the reported weakness in pig iron
and steel billets. and the competition suf-
fered by domestic woolen manufactures
from abroad.
But en- examination of these conditions
indicates that IL reports of the size of the

out, be accepted the average weekly ex-
ports from this country, If kept up to the
