BEARS HAVING THEIR DAY
Cotton Down Five Dollars a Bale
 During the Week
Receipts of the Week, However, Have been Heavy Despite the Decrease
 in the Price.

Cotton suffered a severe loss in value during the week, and was worth yesterday about five dollars a bale less than on "Wednesday of last week. The ginners' report. issued last Thursday was construed as bear!sh by the, spectators and a decline of about 40 points followed the publication of the report. Since that date the market has been weak, declining every day until yester- day, when a gain of about ten points was registered. The price paid here yesterday for middling cotton was 9 60.
 Despite the decrease in price, the receipts of the week were unusually large. Conway merchants bought during the week ending Tuesday night 1880 bales, as against 1855 the same week last year.
 The weather has been clear and cool throughout the cotton belt during the whole week. and cond,- tions for gathering were excellent. Thls fact has had much to do with the decline.

SALOON LICENSE REVOKED
Saloon of Geo. P. Baimst, Formerly of
 Conway, Closed at Little Rock.

County Judge Coffman of Pulas- Ri county made an order last Thursday revoking the liquor li- cense of Geo. P. Balmat, formerly of this city, who has been conduct ing saloon at Little Rock. The license of an Argenta saloon-keep- CT was also revoked at the same time.
 The original complaint against Balmat accused him of having kept the saloon open on Sunday, Aug ust 26 The police docket showed that Balmat was fined on Monday, August 20. the amount being $50. It also showed the case had been appealed. As the fact was estab- lished that an offense had been committed on Sunday, the date ot the particular Sunday was not con- sidered important.
 Although the law provides that licenses shall be revoked by the county judge when saloon-keeper i, convicted of permitting gambling or running a disorderly house, Judge Coffman exacts an agree ment whereby the licensee agree not to do any of these things, with tue written stipulation that in the event of such violation the judge may revoke their licenses. By this agreement it is not necessary to have conviction first. as the judge may decide for himself, after taking the evidence. The action of Judge Coffman m exacung agreements of this kind had been
 held valid by the supreme court ot Arkansas.

UNDERGROUND WATERS.
Investigations of U. s. Geological iSurvey
 in Southern Arkansas.

A comprehensive report ot the underground waters of southern Arkansas has recently been pub lished by the United States Geo logical Survey as professional pa per No. 46. The rapid economic development of this region and the consequent growth in popula- tion have caused great increase in the demand for good water for domestic and industrial purposes. Mills, congresses, cotton factories, ice plants, and other establish ments require large quantities of water, while the towns are looking to the underground supply for water for househOuld uses and tor protection from fire.
 The investigations made by the United States Geological Survey show that in southern Arkansas several beds of rock at different depths yield abundant supplies of water. In professional paper No. 46, which may be obtained on ap- plication to the Director of the United States Geological Survey, Washington. D. C., are discussed all the conditions that govern the occurrence of water in wells and the relation of the geology of the region to the supply of under ground water. The general dis cussion is followed by an account of the underground water condi' tions in each county and by de' tailed we'll and spring records The descriptive notes in regard tc the wells and springs are very complete, and all known informa ton regarding the wells in an area may be quickly found. There l: also a chapter on the methods anc cost of we'll drilling that will be O great value in the development O the underground water resources As the relative elevations of vari ous places are of great importance in the solution of problems relat ing 10 artesian waters, there ha' been included in the report a lis showing the attitudes of a grea many points in the area.

INCREASE OF PAY URGED.
Representatives Of Naval Gun Factory
Before House Committee.

c. c. Lancaster and number of employees
of the naval gun factory at the Washington
navy yard appeared today before the House
committee on naval affairs to discuss the
bill giving the gun factory employees higher
wages. Mr.. Lancaster urged not only a
higher scale of pay, but more annual leave
for the employees, calling the attention of
the committee to the fact that at present
they receive only fifteen days annual leave
and no sick leave. He also urged that the
employees of the factory be given extra pay
for night work. pointing out that employees
of the government printing office now re-
ceive 20 per cent additional for night labor.
Other members OF the delegation gave the
various reasons. which have heretofore been
published in The Star, why these employees
should be paid higher rates.
In letter TO Chairman Foss of the naval
affairs committee. written the other day,
Secretary OF the Navy Bonaparte re-
marked that:
The department does not approve legis-
lation favoring employees Of the navy yard
at the seat OF government over their fell
low-workmen at the other yards and sta
lions, and especially legislation for the ben
eft OF a particular class at the Washington
yard. The rates fixed in the manner pre-
scribed by the act for skilled mechanics
employed in the gun factory are. II is be-
lever fair. and to make them the subject
Of special legislation would. in my opinion,
be mistake. With reference to the pro-
vfso of the bill that not less than 90 per
cent OF mechanics employed shall be OF the
first class the department considers that
this Is matter which should be left TO its
discretion. to be determined according TO
the conditions existing at any particular
time. The measure. IL enacted, would. I'm
my judgment. be detrimental TO the bust
ness interests OF the department. and l rec
ommend that 1t be not favorably consid-
cred"
