Paul Plumbers.

Paul Plumbers.
st. Paul, July 3O.-Judge Kelly has
denied the injunction against the strik-
ing plumbers prayed for by the employ
ers.
The judge finds that there has been
no case made out that would warrant
an injunction.
He upholds the right of laborers to
form unions and to quit their employ
ment in a body for the purpose of
compelling their employers to grant
demands for higher wages and other
betterments in their condition.
Such strikers have not a right to
interfere with men that take their
places, nor to picket the employers
place of business. but the Judge does
not find THAI the striking plumbers
have done any of these things to an
extent that would warrant an injunc-
ton.

STATE NOW IN NEW DIVISION

Il Is probable that before the next
state encampment of the. Arkansas
state guard, there will be a general re-
organization Of troops and four regi
ments instead of three will constitute
the full quota. General Haynes says
that since the last encampment there
has been a revival of the military in
terest among all guardsmen and many
new companies will be formed. Pine
Bluff will be transferred to the third
regiment and made one of the ranking
companies Of that regiment. The local
company at present belongs to the
second regiment, but the transfer is
made because of the location of the
state, the companies that are close to.
gether being assigned to the same regi-
ments. This will make the regiments
easier to handle in time of need.
BY the revision of the military de-
partments Arkansas Is transferred
from the department of Missouri to the
department ct Texas, with Brigadier
General Lee as division commander.
The Southwestern division will be
composed of the departments Of Texas
and Colorado, the department OF Texas
being enlarged by the addition of this
state, Louisiana, Oklahoma and the
Indian Territory. The headquarters
of this division will be Oklahoma City.
At the last state eicampment cf Ar
ansas troops there were nineteen COM
panies, comprising three regiments.
The plan is to recruit the full state
strength up to thirty companies or
four regiments or about $500 men. :.

Turner, returned here last night from
the gulf Of Darien She discovered
december Is, detachment of Colon
blan troops, numbering usually about
500 men, but according to their state
ment totaling 1.500 to 1000 men at
Titumation, on the western side IF the
gulf, just north Of the mouth of the
AtratO river
The commander Of the Atlanta sent
ashore an officer, who conversed with
the Colombian commander. The latter
protested energetically against the
presence of American warships in Co.
lombian waters, insomuch as war be:
tween Colombia and the United States
had not been declared, and politely re-,
quested the Atlanta to leave the guilt
because it belonged to Colombia. Com
mander Turner ignored the request,
and the Atlanta returned to Colon to
report to- Rear Admiral Coghlan.
The Colombians are clearly busy
with protective and strengthening
measures. Although they treated the
Americans courteously they decidedly
resented the presence of the .Atlantas s
landing party. The colombian force
was composed partly of the men land.

SECRETARY aU5azLL's REPORT

Tho loeal movement in cotton has
been yFly good this Week and the
brokers have taken all the colt II hat
has eerae=to town. And still the cry is
for more c0ttou. The last of the crop
Is being rapidly picked, reducing the
amount i'll the field from the ) per cent
report of last week to about 9 per
cent this week. The prices remain
firm and the product brought to the
city is If an unusually good grade for
this time of the year. The steady bull.
ish movement in the Liverpool and
eastern markets has not had much ef-
feet of late on the local movement ex-
cept to steady the market The brok-
ers feel no uneasiness, having been pre-.
pared for the sudden rise and the
planters are satisfied with the prices
they get.
AS last week, most Of the cotton
brought to the city is hill or shcrt
staple cotton. and those who bring in
the fancy long staple are still getting
the fancy prices. The heavy move
ment this week is accounted for by the
fact that many farmers held their pro.
duct at the gins until the sudden
flight was steadied. The ginners are
eeping we'll up with the picking and
have no trouble in handling the crcp.
The pickers find work to do in harvest
