Prairie Fire In Texss.

A terrific prairie fire passed through
several counties in Texas last week
doing great damage to the ranges.
The flames came leaping, making .
fire ten miles wide, and travelling at
lightning speed. At least 400 square
miles of territory were burned
over. Cattle suffered and many were
burned to death. 5000 sheep were
burned in one flock, and many farm
ers lost their winter feed, the fire burn
ing it in the stalks.

BosToS, Nov. 1.-THE ArkwriRht
Club, the membership Of which is al
most entirely coiaposed Of treasurers
and managers o. New England cot
ton mills, held . largely attended
meeting this afternoon. The topic
discussed Was the baiing Of cotton,
and the following WAS unanimously
adopted:
Cotton manufacturers have for q
long time suffered in their business
by reason of the poor condition in
which cotton has been delivered to
them. 1t is poorly ginned, poorly
handled, poorly baled, overlooked
md subject to robbery from the
time it leaves the planters hands
until it reaches the mills. Nearly
all Of these evils are encouraged and
fostered by the practice of dealing
In cotton at gross rate.
1.-THE advent into the market of
cotton put up in new forms of bales
in proper condition gives an oppor-
tupity to remove these evils and
their causes. The old forms of bal. Q
can be made entirely satisfactory il
put up in like manner to the EgyLt-
ian. AS q large amount of cotton
this season will be put up in the new
bales, the tina has arrived when
users are in q position to take a de-
cided stand on the question of baling
and weighing.
"We, therefore, insist on better
baling and handling of cotton and
upon system of dealing at a net
rate, and We pledge ourselves to give
all the preferences possible to cot
ton SO baled, handled and sold"
1t Vas stated in the course of dis
cussion that at least two new forms
of cylindrical bales have been in
vented, and are actively promoted.
as well As one new form Of the quare
bale, and are vastly superior to the
old bales. Foreign cotton reaches
the manufacturers in good shape.
and they are much more dissati sled
with the manner in which American
cotton is put up. The members
showed q firm resolution to insist on
better methods Of preparation. Their
idea is not so much in favor of the
adoption of any particular form of
bale, or even the abandonment OF
the old, but to secure such improved
methods of baling as will assure
them that they will receive at the
mills the cotton which they buy.

Since the Supreme Court of the state
has declared the fee bill invalid because
the journal of the legislature shows
that it was passed without conforming
with the law governing the passage of

bills enacted by the late intelligent
legislature, and the sporting fraternity
will probably soon make test of the
