AMERICAN FLEET
 TO BE WITHDRAWN
WARSHlPS TO LEAVE AS SOON AS THEY TAKE ON COAL,
 TT IS STATED.
Secretary Dickinson Denies That Second Division Army Will Be
 Mobilized on Border.

New York.--The Mexican ambassa dor here from Washington and the Mexican minister of finance have re ceived assurances from Washington which convinced them that there is sincere cooperation between the ad- ministration of President Taft and that of President DiaZ. It Is not professed that all tension has been slackened, and while American troops remain in force on the Mexican hof- der, it is admitted that some tension will continue, but the edge of appre- Eension was appreciably bluntcd by two capital pieces of news. First in importance was a long telegram to Ambassador De La Barra from the state department at Washington an- nouncing that tho United States war ships assigned to the Pacific an
 Gulf coasts of Mexico had been or Gered to call at Mexican ports only for coal and then to withdraw prompt ly. This action is deeply reassuring to Senor Limantour. In recent statement he said he could only con- sluer tue presence ol AHIeI'Cdn Hieh of-war in Mexican waters so far dis tant from their base at Galveston as part of an unnecessary effort to i'm press upon Mexico the power of the United States.
 The second development was the publication here of an authorized in terview with Jacob M. Dickinson, sec retary of war, in which he denied that this government contemplated intervention or that orders had been issued to mobilize a second army corps on the frontier.

PROPOSE TO REDUCE INTEREST
Bill Introduced by Senator J. T. Rob
 ertson Attracts Notice.

Little Rock.-The bill introduced by Senator J. T. Robertson, proposing to reduce the rate of interest in Ar kansas from 10 Lo 8 per cent, is at tracting considerable attention throughout the country. The bankers of Little Rock say they have no ob- jection to the measure and would like to see it enacted into law
 The bill proposes to amend several sections of Kirby's Digest relating to the subject, one of which, as written in the bill, provides that parties to any contract, whether whether the same be under seal or not, may agree in writing for the payment of interest not exceeding s per cent per annum on money due or to become due; pro vided all contracts for a greater rate of interest than per cent per an mum shall be void as to the interest and neither the maker nor his as signs shall be required to pay any part of the debt in excess of the prin cipal sum loaned, and any rule of law, equity or practice to the con trary is hereby abrogated.
 The bill provides that the same rule of action shall apply to all bonds, bills notes, assurances, conveyances and all other contracts or securities.

 Queen & Crescent.

Lexington, ky.-Ten men have been shot to death by the striking firemen of the Cincinnati-Ch Chattanooga divis- ion of the Queen < Crescent railway or their sympathiZers, and numerous others have been wounded o. assault ed since the strike began several days ago on account of the employ ment of negro firemen.
 The mountaineers in the district from Somerset, Ky, to considerable distance south of the Tennessee line have joined with the strikers. as the mountaineers in this section hate ne gToes intensely, and it is reported that for many miles the hillside thick cts are filled with sharpshooters, either firemen or sympathetic noun taineers. With their rifles these men pick off negroes, detectives and sher- ifs and then disappear It is hope less work trying to catch them in the mountain thickets. Squads of armed guards, scores of special detec- tives and armed strikebreakers are being used by the railway, but all freight on the road is tied up or is being shifted to other lines.
 Many pounds of dynamite are said to have been found by the track walkers, and threats have been made to dynamite bridges. Wire communi- cation has been cut off in the dis trict around Kings mountain and southward. and trains seldom come through.
 The engineers, brakemen and ma chinists are said ta be preparing to strike in sympathy with the fremen and some have already stopped work.

OPEN SWITCH IS
 CAUSE OF WRECK
ELEVEN PASSENGERS INJURED WHEN TRAIN CRASHES INTO
 SOLID LOAD OF STEEL.
Switch Lock Had Evidently Been
 Broken by Some Unknown Mlserea nt.

Helena, Ark.-Iron Mountain pas senger train No. 304, leaving here at 6:45 a. III. for St. Louis, ran into an open switch about five miles west of here and crashed into a solid train load of steel on the siding. demolish- ing the engine and iniuring Il per sons, but none seriously. All of the injured were railroad men and were brought here and placed in a hos pital, where they received medical attention.
 The accident was caused by an open switch, and an examination of it showed that the lock on the switch had been broken and the switch key turned, and it is believed that the wreck of the train was deliberately planned by unknown parties.
 It was impossible, it is stated, for the engineer to see that the switch was broken, as it was placed in such manner as prevented him from ob serving it.

$40,ooo for State Fair.

Senator Williams bill appropriating s40.o00 for the Arkansas State Fair was passed by the senate by vote of 2 to 5. without discussion except by Senator Williams, who explained the need of the appropriation if the fair would be kept up to the high standard aimed at. The promoters of the fair have as yet been unable to declare a dividend. but each year sees the fair larger and better, and 1t is believed that should the legisla- ture make the appropriation it will be only very short time until the ATkahsas State Fair will eclipse any similar enterprise in the South. It is customary in majority of the states for the general assembly to foster such enterprises, which are statewide in their scope, and the re- sultapt good to the states is incalcu- lable,
