COMPLETE EQUIPMENT
 FOR STATE TROOPS.
Governor Davis and General Haynes Well Received by War Depart ment-Latter Confident Ark ansas Guard Will Receive
 Allotment.

Washington, July S.-Gov. Jeff Davis of Arkansas, accompanied by Maj. Gen. W. H. Haynes, commander of the Arkansas state troops, arrived here yesterday morning and spent several hours at the war department conferring with Maj. Parker, who has charge of the militia division of the department, relative to the equip ment of the Arkansas troops.
 The governor and adjutant general were cordially received and expressed themselves as highly gratified with the result of their visit and their treat ment by the secretary of war and his officers. Gen. Haynes is satisfied that complete equipment will be obtained from the department for 2,000 Arkan- sas troops, the value of the allotment being about $40,O00.
 Gov.

Gov. Davis sad to a newspaper corres- pendent he had heard of the matter for the first time and did not know of any letter addressed to him by the secretary of war.

PICNIC PARTY
OF YOUNG LADIES.

Some twenty of Newport's most popular society girls and matrons of but few years formed a picnic party to White River bridge Tuesday. They went early and didn't return until evening, the entire day being spent so pleasantly the party was 10th to give up such an enjoyable manner of living.
 With cards, finch and other games, little trouble was experienced in se curing means and methods of enter tainment and crowding the occasion with merriment and pleasure, that will insure the day conspicuous place in the memory of each par ticipant.
 Every item that could be suggested for picnic spread had been prepared and the young ladies, evidently for getting that the men had been left out in this dressing sack affair, contributed such large baskets, that the many delicacies seemed to have been neg lected, for want of mems appetites.
 The members of the party who made the trip in hacks were Misses Bessie E. L. Watson, Hal and Hester Phillips, Noreene Kinman, Mary Bai- ley, Mabel Stayton, May Ward, Claire Johnson, Pearl Foushee, Dovie Erwin, Laura Nunnally, Louise Irby, Eleanor Neill, Margaret Beattie, Mesdames E.

 TO GULF PORTS.
Frisco Rock Island Policy Will Be In Favor of Galveston and New Or
 leans Against Atlantic Ports.

It is said that the Frisco Rock Isl and policy when the St. Louis, Mem- phis and New Orleans line is com pleted will be to divert large portion of the Mississippi valley export trade from the Atlantic ports to the gulf ports, Galveston and New Orleans. The Rock Island reaches Galveston through its purchase of one-half interest in the Houston and Texas Central, while the Frisco will soon reach New Orleans.
 The Chicago and Eastern Illinois and the St. Louis, Memphis and Southeastern, and the New Orleans liue will form pew through line from Chicago to the gulf, and water grade line from St. Louis to New Or leans. It will be strong competitor of the Illinois Central and Louisville & Nashville, and likewise the Gould new water grade line.
 The Frisco Rock Island, traversine the finest agricultural sections of the west and southwest, will be able tc control large portion of the output The Gould system and the Frisco R. l. system are seeking to accom-. plish great deal for the Texas and Louisiana ports, and much of the busi. ness in future will be diverted iron the Atlantic ports, especially in grair and cotton.
