James ii. Lewis, Of Seattle. who went TO
England To look after the interests or the
Attn miners in the settlement OF the Alas

to his mission:
Il was present during the consideration
OF the Alaskan qustion in London. ia
not so there officially. however but simply
as q representative Of the owners OF dis
puted property within the boundary. |
Was informed by no less person than
Sir Louis Davies OF Canada, who was IN
Chamberlain, at the conclusion OF an in
tltl'vitw that On behalf OF his government
he had made an offer TO take the question
up and arbitrate it on the same terms
which the United States impressed upon
England In the Venezuelan matter
1T is understood that Mr.. Choate could
not accept this basis OF settlement. Mr..
Davis told me that ne assured Mr.. Choate

Pyramid harbor, the remainder OF the dis
pute 10 be settled on the basis OF the Ven
ezuelan arbitration. This proposition was
pending when the temporary modus was
agreed upon in Washington.

Had His Leg Cut Off.

esterday morning, the train
over the Cotton Belt railroad COM
ing in from the north, picked up a
man at or near Genoa, who bad one
of his ankles crushed and head
mashed and otherwise hurt The
man gave his name as D. B. James,
and said his home was at Jackson
Tenn, and that he was railroad
man. The Cotton Belt surgeon at
this place, cut the mangled member
off below the knee and dressed the
head and otherwise patched the in
dividual up and made him easy as
possible. The man was drinking,
we learn, and was passing through
the train of an on during the trip.
He said he remembers being on
the rear platform of the coach and
that the engine in pulling the slack
out of the train, jerked him off and
he remembered very little until he
was picked up and brought here.
1t is said he laid several hours in
the lonely place where he fell of
until he was found.

COTTON SEED UPISH.

Mr.. ] E. Morriss, who is travelling
purchasing agent for the National
Cotton Oil Company at this place,
spent the day with the city editor
yesterday, aud talking about cotton
seed and the prices paid, said that
within the past week the mills COM
ing in competition with each other
had put seed up from $Sa ton to
$11 within few days.
Mr.. Morriss then began to count
the mills within this territory, and
if we remember right, he counted
fifteen or twenty, within radius
of two hundred miles from this city
and they all had out buyers who Wis
tied the various gins and bid on the
seed in car load lots $50 much per
toni pretty much as they do for
cotton on the street here and else
where. We take the following from
a Dallas News special from Cosica-
ma, showing that the prices on seed
has become quite respectable and
will make the farmer quite a little
sum, as the difference in opening
prices and the prices that now pre-
vail:
AS stated ir The News from this
point yesterday as high as Sl1 per
ton was being paid for cotton seed
here. That price was on the quiet,
but The News correspondent got
onto it and so reported it. The quo
tation was correct. Today an open
price of Sll is made and that is 81
advance on the open price day be
fore yesterday The break was
made by McAfee & Terry buying for
the Houston oil mill.

The Yellow Fever Scare.

The recent yellow fever fright
raised widefelt interest in its treat
ment. 1t is treated in the simplest
way possible although it is terri
BILE disease. Perfect sanitary ar
rangements are insisted upon, the
supply of water must be pure, sim
pie medicines are administered and
the bowels kept regular, If this
last measure was observed by every
one we would be a magnificent race.
There is nothing better than Hos
letters Stomach Bitters for cleans
ing the system. A dose three times
day will bring new life and happi
ness, 1t will positively cure cousti-
patton and dyspepsia and for weak
liver or Kidneys there is nothing to
equal it. Every druggist keeps it,
and a private revenue stamp covers

Leg Broken,

Yesterday some boys living on

young Jack Coleman, son of MIR.
Dick Coleman When returning
they all got into a boyish frolic and
would throw each others hats out
of the wagon and when the owner
of the hat got out to recover his
head piece, the horses would be
whipped up in order to make the
boy run. When near home-in
fact it was while crossing the Col
lege Hill bridge over Nix creek,
someone sndtched young Colemdn's
nat and threw it out OF the wagon
and he jumped out to get it and
landed on his feet in such manner
as to break his leg just above tn
ankle. He Was lifted into 1.-THE wa
