SHOWN THE CITY.

Another feature of the entertain
ment accorded the Territory Press
association by the citizens of Ard
more was a carriage drive about
the city this morning. The process
sion started at the opera house at
10 o'clock and wended its way to
Hargrove college where they were
given a hearty welcome by this
private institution. After being
conducted through the different de-
partments by President johnson,
they proceeded to Indianola Busi-
ness college. OF course the drive
would have been incomplete with
out visit to the pride of Ardmore,
her public schools. The Dunlap,
Carter avenue and Banks public
schools were visited. St. Agnes
Academy came in for its share of
the visit and every guest of the
city expressed delight at the educa-
tional facilities with which Ard
more has provided herself.
The business enterprises visited
included the oil mills, Touring
mills. cotton compress and ice

equally bright and happy strain.

was called for. but through skill
full maneuver OH the part of the
president the subject was switched
onto Mr.. Kuykendall, who affirmed
that the premium business, if not
of a fraudulent nature, was bene
fetal to the increase of circulation.
The discussion was entered into
with some vim. Several members
of the association responded, but
with the exception of Mr.. Kuyken-
dali. all opposed the idea, the uni

w. 7. Little, librarian of the
Oklahoma II st ,rical soti ty, spoke
for few minutes on the advan-
tages tie be derived by preserving
files of newspapers in every news
paper Office. In Oklahoma it is
under territorial supervision and
the files sent into this society are
the property of the territory. In
the Indian Territory there is no in
stitution of this nature, although
probably a dozen Territory papers
are sent regularly to this society
and ere cared for there. Mr.. Lit
tie suggested the Importance of
such files being kept and the de-
sire of official action by this body
to that end. He concluded by
saying that he would, for one
year, take the personal cognizance
of the Territory papers if sent to
his name and at the end of the
year hold the same subject to the
order of the Territory press for
their return, or file them away
with the Oklahoma papers.

GOV. TYLER AT HOT SPRINGS.
Senator Martin in HicbmOnd-The
Governor Discusses Primuries

Governor Tyler left last night for the
Hot Springs to attend the session of the
State Bar Association. He expects to be
In Stanton in a day or two. and on Sat-
urday will attend the Confederate re-
union at Strasburg, Shenandoah county.
He will put in the greater portion of his
time at Radford during the next month.
Senator Martin is in the city at his
headquarters. at Murphy's. He is very
busy all the time. receiving callers and
attending TO his correspondence, which is
very large. IL is said that every letter
receives his personal attention.
The Senator is not travelling a great
deal, but is in constant communication
with his friends in all sections of the
State. Among these. as is well known,
are some of the finest workers in Vir-
ginia. He and they profess every conf
dence Of the result.
Governor Tyler is also confident now
as ever He has not been successful in
securing primaries in the counties or an
expression from the people in but two
instances. but in each OF these he has
been almost unanimously endorsed.
The people are behind me i'm this
fight" said the Governor yesterday, land
though we fight against big odds, We
shall win. We are denied primaries
everywhere" he continued. The Rich
mond committee persistently refused 10
allow the people TO vote upon the names
Of Mr. Martin and myself. The primary
in Orange took me wholly unawares, and
my request that our names be placed on
the ticket was denied. In Norfolk county
only f0rty-eight hours notice OF the
nominating convention was given. In
Nottoway and Amelia the committee re-
fused to have a primary between Mr.
Martin and myself and gave six days
notice. In Alexandria and Alexandra
city the meetings were held on but few

were ordered on one weeks notice. In
Pittsylvania county district meetings
were ordered for the 18th and when my
friends asked for a few days delay so
that speakers could be heard on court
day. the 2lst. the request was refused.
''In other places the same methods are
being practiced, or being attempted,
concluded the Governor. "All these things

CALAMBA FIGHT A WARM ONE.
Our Loss Seven Men Killed and
Twenty wounded.

MANILA, August 1850 A. M.-Sun-
days fight at Calamba was a warm one.
The insurgents were unwilling to abandon
the place, which is the key TO the lake
road. General Hall, hearing that Gene
raj was preparing TO make an attack,
sent Major Weisenberger with three
companies of the Twenty-frst Infantry,
three troops of cavalry, and one of Ham
iltons guns, to attack the insurgents.
This detachment found a force OF 1900
rebels behind hastiy-made entrench-
ments. The rebels held their fire until
the contingent Of the Twenty-1rst Regi-
ment was within 800 yards, when they
fred a volley. The Americans dropped
in the high grass out OF sight, ana re-
turned the fire. Lieutenant Love, who
was walking erect along the front of the
men, was shot in the arm. An insurgent
officer equally brave. stood at the top of
the trenches directing the fire OF the in
surgents until he was killed, when the
Filipinos fed.
During the fighting on the north side
of the town, small body or insurgents
attempted 10 enter on the south side, but
a troop Of cavalry repulsed them.
The total American loss at Calamba
was seven killed and twenty wounded.
Sixteen dead insurgents have been found

YAQUIs ON THE wARPATH.
Reported Slaughter of Whites-Out-
break Surprise.


ST. LOUIS. MO, August IA special
to the Globe-Democrat from Ortiz, Mex,
says:
Any doubt that Yaquis are on the war
path in earnest was dispelled to-day,
when news reached here that several
Americans and MeXicans had been kill
ed in pueblos, or towns. in the Yaqui Riv-
er Valley, east and southeast of this sta
ton.
The courier who came in with the news
of the slaughter declares that he saw a
desperate fight at a point forty miles
southeast of Ortiz, and that he has posi-
tive evidence that j. f. Remley, "A mer-
chant of Hermosillo, and f.. Miller. a
photographer in his employ. were among
the killed Remley was one of the best
known Americans in Sonora.
The inhabitants of the towns in and
near the Yaqui river ere in a state of
terror General Torres, commander Of
the first military zone. which includes
Sonora, Naloa, and Lower California, who
was in the field with the Twelfth Regi-
ment is reported among the slain.
No information is obtainabe as yet of
the number of fighting Indians under
arms, but if the outbreak is OF the pro-
portions of war ended in 1897, the number
may be placed at between 5000 and 1900.
This outbreak is "a surprise TO the State
and army officials.
1t is impossible TO secure accurate fig
ures as TO the total number killed to
date. but the estimate of fifty on each
side is not considered excessive.

the Dakotas, where high temperature
and lack OF moisture are being seriously
felt.
CORN AND WHEAT.
While corn would be benefited by rains

for a number OF years. Early corn is now
maturing as far north as Missouri and
Southern Illinois.
AS in the previous week, hot winds.
with temperature exceeding 100 degrees,
