UNITED STATES COTTON CROP.
Production Has QuadrupIed Since
1872 and the Price Has
Fallen OF,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The phenomenal
ly low price of cotton recently reported,
said to be the lowest point reached in many
years, lends special interest to a series OF
tables just compiled by the treasury bureau
of statistics, showing the remarkable in
crease in cotton production and concidental
falling prices. These tables show that the
United States. the chief cotton producer of
the world, has quadruped her cotton pro-
duction since 1872, and that the price of
cotton in the same period has fallen to
about one-half that which prevailed in that
year.

A Restaurant Fight

This morning difficulty occurred
in the Washington dining hall be-
tween a Mr.. Wells OF the Star stables
and VIM. j. Ash, one OF the walters in
the dining hall.
The facts as near as could be learned
(the waiter Ash didn 'tswant to tall, of
the affair, and Wells couldn't be found
az the stables wnen reporter went
there to see him) were: this morning
Wells went there for his breakfast and
there were two other customers in the
place when he went In: ne wasn't wait
ed on as soon as he thought he ought to
be and SO told Ash. AS one of the Gus
toners said, Wells was told that he
would be waited on when his time
came, but he didn't like it. Then Ash
told him that he could go somewhe ere
else if things in there weren't run to
suit him.
Wells stayed there until he finished
what he ordered. then called Ash to him
and told him that he would be up about
nine O'Clock and take him for ride
out in the country. Ash said he thought
the fellow was joking and paid no at
tention to him, but turned away and
went on about his work.
Sure enough at nine o'clock up drove
a carriage and in it was Wells. Ash
went out to see what he wanted and
Wells told him that he had come to
take him riding. Ash didn't have time
to go and asked what he wanted him
to go for and Wells said. $50 have
some fun with you Ash then left
him outside and came inside and began
to pick up q lot of dirty dishes. He
was going to the kitchen when Wells
came in and gave him a good stiff
punch in the face, at the same time
catching Ash by the throat. Ash
punched Wells in the face and then
there was scuffie, table was upset,
pouring molasses on the floor, and the
officer arrived. Wells gave himself up
to Policeman Dryer, who took him to
the police station and registered him
on the city hotel docket with the
charge of assault and battery.
Ash went to Justice Darwood and
swore out complaint against Wells
charging him with assault and battery.

The New Boundary Commissioner

Jacobo Blanco has receiv we'd his ap-
poin tment as com missioner for Mexico
on the international water boundary
commission betw cen the United States
and Mexico. Javier Osorno, the form
Ell commissioner, resigned to take his
seat in the Mexican congress. This
commission, at whose hs ad Mr.. Blanco
now finds himself, is that charged with
the location and fixing of the water
boundary between the two countries.
The commissioner on the American
side is General Arson Mills, of Wash
ington, D. G.
The water boundary between the two
countries is most difficult thing to es-
tablish. The Rio Grande, the separst-
ing limit, is said to be l 800 miles in
length from its entrance on Mexican
territory, just west of Ell Paso, to the
Gulf of Mexico. Since the treaty OF
peace of 1S47, this river has changed
its channel constantly back and
forth, and upset the surveys re-
peatedly made. 1t has been vexa-
tious subject with both governm ents,
until in 1898, both consented to d con-
vention fixing the matter. Under that
convention commissions were appoint
ed to locate and fix the boundary limits
due to the changeable character of the
river bed. Mr.. Osorno WAS appointed
Mexican commissioner and Gen eral
(then ColoneD Arson Mills the Amer
lean commissioner.
Mr.. Ble1co was ct the time at work
on the location of the boundary be
tween the.two countries west of ElPasO
and to the Pacific. He worked nearly
five years on that part OF the interna-
tional frontier and one year ago
he completed the last 2 .monu-
ment at the edge of the
Pacific. He goes to his new appoint
ment with wonderful fund of exper-
fence in that particular capacity. He
is considered one of the most com
Deteut engiU GERS in the city as well,
and the appointment could not have
fallen on a better person. He expects
to start north very shortly.

A Gifted Man.

Prof. S. Zinzebar is convincing
man: he has convinced hundreds of the
citizens OF Ell PssO that the science of
palmistry cannot be questioned. Re
demonstrates to the entire satisfaction
of'everyone that palmistry, as read
by him, knows no limit of
probability in matters pertaining to
the past, present and future. 1t is a
science in him perfected a science
which he brings from the heart of In
dia and places in our own midst. All
reading and well informed people,
those who kea abreast of the progress
of the age, have heard of palmistry a.
an exact science; Prof. ZinZebar de-
monstrates that it is such. He is be-
ing besieged daily by hundreds of peo-
pie and is making profound impress
sion in this community. All who
visit him pronounce him wonder
These are simple facts which will be
testified by dozens OF our citizens.

Our New Chemical Enqine.

About two months ago the city
bought chemical fire engine fro the
Fire Distinguishing company of Chi
cago and they were to deliver it at any
time when the city wanted it inside of
15O days. Owing to some trouble ia
securing ground for the fire depart
ment the city has been unable to have
the engine shipped .sThe Distinguishing
company now write the mayor that
they have been requested to have an
exhibit at the coming st. Louis
fair and they have consented. They
wish to exhibit this engine and ask the
mayor if they can sell the engine at
this fair on condition that they build
another one for the city about the same
as the first, if anything better equip
ped, and deliver it ninety days from
now.
The city will hardly be in position
to take care of an engine before ninety
DAYS and it is thought if the city will
gain anything by it the request of the
Fire Distinguishing company will be
considered favorably.
