REALIZING BRINGS
 ABOUT A DECLINE August and September Have a
 Downward Tendency LATER MONTHS SUSTAINED
Cotton Market Opens Steady, With Little Demand From Any Source. Occasional Reactions During
 Afternoon-close Steady.

New York, Aug. 19.-The cotton market opened steady at decline of two points on August and September, while the later positions were one to two points higher. The declines in the near months were due to realizing while the later months were sustained by the steady ca- bles and continued talk of too much. rain in the belt and damage by boil wevil.
 At the start, however there was little demand from any source, weather re- ports aside from further rain in certain sections, were favorable and later cables from the English market showed a de- clining tendency abroad. This brought about realizing by recent buyers and at the end of the first few minutes Septem- Der showed a net loss of eight points, with the later positions one to three points lower. August was comparatively dull and neglected during the entire ses- sion selling as low as 1925 and as high 10.s7 for September, however, the clique became more aggressive and their sup port started covering by the room con tlngent which continued durnig the bal ance of the session and held values about steady.
 There were occasional reactions dur ing the afternoon and the close was little off. the best of the day. The mar ket was principally dull, net sixteen points higher to three points lower, with August September and November three points lower; October two points lower; December unchanged and the three last options one higher to one lower. Two thousand bales of cotton were received here from Liverpool today and by cu- rious coincidence twenty-two hundred bales were shipped from here to that market. New York spot sales were 926 bales, all to spinners. Sales futures es- timated 75,00O bales.

SENATOR LONG
AND C. HARVEY
They Visit the President and
Discuss Charges.
GIRL WHIPPING SERIOUS
That Seems to Be the Chief
Difficulty.
GIRL WHIPPING SERIOUS

Washington, D. c., Nov. 4.-Senator
Long today took Geo. l. Harvey, super
intendent and Agent at Pawnee, Q. T.,
who is under the charge of malconduct,
to the White house. The president was
much impressed with Harvey's side of
the case, particularly with the strong
stand harvey had taken in the discharge
of his duties when gIafters had threat
ened affairs at the Pawnee agency.
However in view of the charge made
that Harvey had whipped an Indian girl
in his school the president desired fur
ther information and referred Harvey and
Senator Long to Secretary Hitchcock.
The secretary and Commissioner Jones
Of the Indian Bureau have nothing but
highest praise for Harvey in the excel
lent administration and ability he has
shown in Office, and are predisposed in
his favor if the feature of whipping the
girl can be satisfactorily explained. y
s. NJ Brosius, representing the Indian
rights association generally regarded as
made up of eastern sentimentalists and
western land grabbers. preferred IS
charges against Harvey. The only one
considered by the authorities here is the
whipping of the girl, Virginia Weeks.
Harvey contends this was necessary to
quell an incipient school insurrection. If
he can prove this, he will likely be Per-
mitted to hold his place. as the depart
ment has no use for Brosius and the In
dian Rights association. Harvey has the
strong backing of Senator Long and
Representative Charles Curtis of Kansas.

CALLED A MEETING.
Noble County Teachers Will Gather at
Perry November H.

Perry, o. T., Nov 4-County Superin-
tendent Daniels has called a union teach
ers' association meeting to be held in
Perry on November Il at o'clock in the
afternoon, in the high school building,
says the Republican.
The object of this meeting will be to
discuss the new methods of teaching, to
preserve the teachers county organiza-
ton, to keep in touch with the sympa-
thies that should exist between the teach
ers of the county, and, best of all, to
arrange for a display of school work for
the Oklahoma exhibit at the world S
fair in ST Louis next year
On October "a the western division Of
the Noble County Teachers association
held a meeting in Billings, at which time
it was recommended that they all attend
the union meeting at this place, so far
as it is possible to do. This same senti-
ment exists among all the teachers of
the county and from the present outlook
the union meeting here on the 18th will
be a very interesting occasion.
At a meeting in Oklahoma City last
week, of the county superintendent Of
Oklahoma, it was very noticeable that
the different superintendent were en-
thusiastic over the matter Of making the
Oklahoma school exhibit the very lest
at the exposition, and Miss Daniels is
very earnest in her effort to make Noble
county the best in Oklahoma's exhibit
The county superintendent will soon send
out circulars which viii give definite
directions eoncernings the exhibit work.

INQUIRE Goes
TO WASHINGTON
Delegate Left Last Night Over

AT THE REGULAR SESSION
Statehood Bill VIII Be Present
ed by Him.
AT THE REGULAR SESSION

Guthrie, o. T., Nov. 4.--Delegate to
Congress Bird s. Mcclure lef. tonight
over the Frisco railroad for Washington,
D. C.. to attend the extraordinary session
OF congress, which convenes on the 9th
of this month. In an interview with the
Eagle correspondent. Delegate MCGUIRE
said:
This being an extraordinary session of
congress, no legislation will be attempted
except along lines laid down in the mes
sage of the president calling it. But at
the regular session, next month when
the house is thoroughly organized and
the committee appointed, L shall at once
introduce as tatehood bill, embodying the
features laid down in the platform Of the
last territorial Republican convention,
and shall use every effort TO have it
passed 1 consider the chances for state
hood very bright and think it will come
at this present session of congress.
ssrhere are many good reasons for this
boiler Ia the bill to be considered, Okla
homa's claims will be presented by them
selves andl the measure will not be ham,
pered by :the fitness or unfitness OF other
interests. The claims of the territory to
statehood are SO manifest that there
can be no. just opposition, and do not
apprehend .that there will be any. Then,
too, the VI dt of the congressman last
month will have a grand result. The
visiting stats smen are among the most
influential in congress, and while they
recognized IN hat Oklahoma should have
statehood tfEs recognition was more OF
a passive than an active belief Their
tour made eves yone an ardent immediate
statehood advo cate, as while they had
heard of the reat development of the
territory when they made a personal in
spection of the country, met her citizens
and beheld her progressive cities, they
remarked that the half had not been told
regarding the tern itory's greatness
II shall urge several othre measures
for the benefit OF the territory, such as
changes in the criminal code in the In
dian territory; alls s'wing Oklahoma to
have the use of the 81, 100000 irrigation
fund now due the territory, and shall
set the ball rolling TO secure free homes
for the settlers in the KiOwa and Co 4
rnanche reservation, now comprising the
counties of Comanche, Kiowa and Caddo

dorsement of President Roosevelt and

party in power usually gets the worst OF
it. ii is all the more gratifying. Okla
homa, in common with the other western
states and territories, is a great admir- er
of the president, and the general sen Ii
ment here is that he will have no oplIo-
sition in being renominated and elec ted
