 trocuted at Auburn.

Albany, N '. Oct. 26.-Lcon t. CZolgosz, the murderer of President Mckinley, will be electrocuted at I a. m on Tuesday, October 29, at Auburn prison.
 Warden Mead hs selected Tuesday so that final arrangements may be made Monday In doing this he is fol lowing the general custom in the state prisons relative to eleetrocutions. It does away With the necessity of mak Ing final arrangements on Sunday. The sentence of the court was that the eX- eeution of Czolgosz should talie place during the week commencing October 2S, leaving to the warden of the prls on full power to select the day of the week to carry out the mandates of the law. This latitude is given the war den to secure secrecy as to the tlmc of the execution and to guard against caused delay of an hour Ill an exc cution after the condemned man had been taken into the death house Tt Auburn penitentiary.
 The witness will assemble al the prison at 6:30 o'clock on Tuesday morning. There have been twenty six invitations issued and they are non-transferable. Each witness must present his invitation to the warden of the prison and If he is not identified to the satisfaction of the warden as being the man to whom it was issuee he will not be admitted.

THE COTTON CROP Of Arkansas as Reported by Secretary Hester of
 New Orleans. COTTON MEN OF THE STATE CLAIM THAT HIS REPORT
 ERRONEOUS.
But Mir. Hester Sticks to His Figures and Says That Both Sides
 Are Right.
WHERE THE DIFFERENCE ARISES

In the carly part Of September Geo. k. Brown, secretary of the Board of Trade Of Little Rock, wrote to II. I. Hester. of the New OrelanS Cotton Exchange, complaining that his report of the volume of the Arkansas crop was erroneous and damaging to the state, being much too small, and show ing too small an increase over the preceding year. The following letter from Secretary Hester was received: Many of them do not agree with him his report IS incorrect as to this state:
 Reply to your favor of the 7th of September. last, has been prevented by my almost continued absence from the city; ill fact, l have only just re. turned. The position you take i'll re gard to the Arkansas crop IS correct, but so are my figures. This may seem paradoxieai, but it is not.
 My figures by states, as shown ln my last annual report, are a division Of the commercial crop and not growth The commercial crop. or total dellv- cries. from the state of Aransas for the year ended August q, 1900. were 750 000 bales. but the growth was zoo, coo, the deliveries during that year ln eluding 50oGo old cotton. For the year ended August, 3l, l90l, 1 make the ap proXimate deliveries 762 900 bales m ciudins very little old cotton, While there were probably 40,000 more grown and not marketed. Your towr and Pine Bluff alone held on August 3l, 1901, more than 10000 in excess i the same time in 1900. Fms would make the growth ofArkansas. say. 500, GOO, in round figures. for lY00-U1 against 100000 for lS99 1900. You are right therefore. in believing that the actual crop of Aransas for l90O-ol was 900 more than the previous year, but not right in placing last years crop. either commercial CT growth, as high as 62,000.'
