Carlinville, H., Oct. 6.-The town of Virdin presentes a decidedly martial aspect, fully 2,50O armed miners having been organized into squads which pa- trol the railroad tracks and highways. Theme Il sleep in barns, empty store rooms, box cars and on the sidewalks, wherever room can be found. Mayor Noll has issued orders closing all sa- looms while the present trouble lasts. Commissary arrangements for feeding the miners have been perfected. The strikers are not molesting the compa- ny's plant. Manager Lukens, fearing an attempt to destroy the stockade, called on Sheriff Davenport for depu- ties. The leading merchants offered to go on the bonds of number of Virdin miners, who own their own homes, if they were sworn in as deputies by the sheriff, guaranteeing the companys S property would not be molested as long as the negroes were not in sight. The offer was refused by Lukens, who reaf- flrmed his purpose of bringing in Ala
 bama negroes and insisted that the sheriff be in readiness to invoke state aid. The sheriff says he will do his duty and only call on Governor Tanner as 8 last resort

 A More Vigorous War.

Pana, H., Oct. 6.-The militia here continue to patrol the streets, holding up and searching all classes of citizens and relieving them of any firearms.

Bacon Still Fighting.

Lothrup, Minn., Oct. 6-This after noon at 3:30 o'clock 1t was learned that General Bacon and his small band of seventy to seventy-two men were still fighting on Bear Island, but 1t cannot be learned what the outcome of their fighting has been up to this hour, p. m. An attempt was made to land on the island this afternoon and rescue the wounded soldiers and get the bodies of the blue-coats who were killed Four bodies were recovered and nine soldiers wounded, were rescued, but the citizens were then driven to the boat and the boat driven from the short by skullling Indians.
 A special train with 215 of the Third infantry from Fort Smelling under command of Lieutenant Colonel Har- bach of the department of Dakota ar- rived in Walker at 3 o'clock this after noon.
 Another special train will leave Brainard tonight with 200 or 250 more soldiers. Inspector Tinker expresses the opinion that with 800 soldiers the Indians will be subdued, but thinks that there will be bloodshed and maybe lots of it. It is said that the Indians from the Millelac reservation have started, 300 strong, to join the Leech Lake Indians, and if this is the case it will require 800 additional troops to uuell the disturbance. The Indians are reported to be we'll armed and going north at rapid rate. They will prob ably reach Leech Lake and Bear Island by tomorrow at daylight.
 Two hunters came in this afternoon from the woods and reported a band of fifteen or twenty Indians going north and 1t is supposed that they are an ad- vance guard of the Millelac Idians, or party of their scouts. The inhabitants at Walker, Lothrup and Hachensack Minn., are terrified beyond measure and are armed as far as arms and ammuni- tion are procurable. Little sleep is talk en by the majority of the citizens. Since the uprising of the Bear Island Indians the Indians at the Leech Lake agency have been quiet up until to-day, but word has arrived tonight from the agency that the Indians have broken out and the authorities have no control over them and fear there will be more bloodShed.

Meeting of \. & n. G. II. i. Directors
at Newbern Tonight.

The directors of the Atlantic aud
North Carolina Railroad meet IN New
Lern tonight But it VIII be a case OF
marching up the hill and down again.
In other words, they will do nothing.
Indeed there is nothing for them to do.
The Governor is not ready to name a
successor to Hancock, and he has not
yet filed the two vacancies OH the board
The truth of the matter is the Govern
or did not remember when the board
was TO meet and he was not reminded
of it until yesterday morning a short
while before he left for Wilmington.
Then it was too late to send out any
orders to the directors.
In the absence of any instructions they
will simply meet and adjourn till such
other date as the Governor may desire
Now that the howl of criticisms called
forth by the selection of Sutton, Of BIa-
den. for president has caused the Gov
crnor to abandon the idea Of appointing
him, the other candidates along the line
have started into the race again and
are keeping the trail warm.
Capt. w. ]. Pope, of KiEst0n, who is
candidate, arrived Sunday afternoon
to see the Governor. The Governor
went away yesterday morning though
and Capt. Pope, having missed him, will
go to-day.

HEsTER's COTTON STATEMENT

| New Orleans. Ia, March 7.-Secretary
Testers analysis of the cotton move
ment for TIC six months of the season
! from September l to February IS, inclu-
! siye, shows that compared with the
crop movement of 1886, the 1901 900
| crop year, including Indian Territory,
/ has brought into sight this season i'm
round figures 100000 bales less. while
| other Gulf States, which include Ar
kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi. TeHnes-
see, Missouri and Oklahoma, have mar
keted 111.OoO more, and the group of
Atlantic States which includes North
and South Carolina, Georgia. Florida,
Alabama and Virginia, shows an in
crease of 42S,000. In other words, all
Of the States outside of Texas and In
dian Territory have increased over the
big crop year 1.139,000 against a de.
crease for Texas and the territory of
100000, leaving Il net increase in the
total of crop marketed 933,000.
Mr. Hester shows the amount brought
into sight by groups of States for the
six months of this season as follows:
Texas and Indian Territory 2574, 252
bales; an increase over the same time
last year 75S,937. an increase over year
before last of 1.036.G14 and Il decrease
under 1895 of 206,44S
Other gulf States 3.1S4062 an in
crease over last year of ia, 1913. over
year before last of / ,25S, S26 and over
1893 of 711,OO6.
Atlantic States 1851 1874. an increase
over last year of 434, 031. over year be-
fore last of 1,14G,J64 and over 1895 OF
42S. 19S.
Total crop in sight close of February
$500, 2CS, an increase over last year
1.90S,171, over year before Of 3,442OO4
and over 1895 of 933,:35G. After Febru-
AIRY %, in 1895 the amount brought
into sight from Texas and Indian Ter
ritory was :;15.23S from other gulf
States 527 1877, and from Atlantic States
471,974.
The groups of States as above furn-
ished of the total cotton crops from Tex
as and Indian Territory last year -
24S. 900 bales and 1895 3.27G,0OO; other
gulf States 2S31 600 last year and 81
100000 in 1895: Atlantic States 3,679.-
600 last year and 3,62J,00O i'll 1895.
A notable feature concerning Mr.. Hes
tcr's analysis is that for the six months
of the current season the States other
than Texas and Indian Territory have
marketed 141 900 bales more than they
did for the entire twelve months Of
1S94-95. which has heretofore ranked rs
one of the seasons of largest production
for those sections combined. The total
contribution to the movement by the
groups of other gulf and Atlantic States
Tor the past six months has been $780,
wv against 6,G25,O0O for all of 1S94-9J.
