Archbold before the senate investigating

He reiterated his declaration that he

clared that he did not "for one moment
believe that Mr. Archbold's testimony is
truthful; charged Mr.. Archbold with

ed that during many calls which Mr..
Archbold made upon him while he was
president, to urge him not to prosecute
the Standard Oil Company, Mr.. Archbold
never referred to any contributions to
his campaign fund, and concluded with
the suggestion that the senate commit.

FAVORABLE week
FOR COTTON CROP
MUCH LESS THAN THE USUAL AU.
GUST DETERIORATION.
THE COMPLAINTS MULTIPLY
Boil Weevils Much More Numerous in
Mississippi-Full Yield Promised
in the Mississippi Valley
States.
(CopUight)

The weather of the week was generally
favorable to the cotton crop, but com.
plants are somewhat more numerous
than during the preceding week and as
the crop approaches maturity irregular
tiles appear in condition.
Southern and Central Texas is suffer.
ing from drouth and deterioration is
noted in all districts south and west of
Waco. Boil weevils are much more nv
merous in Mississippi.
Speaking broadly, there was advance
ment east of the Mississippi river, how
ever, and also in states west with the
exception of Texas.
The plant is coming slowly to maturity
and there is much less than the usual
August deterioration. In the Mississippi
valley states the fruit set is unusually
heavy and the plant though not large
will make a very full yield if the au-
tumn 10 favorable and frost is suffi.
GENTLY delayed.
Cultivation is practically complete now
in all sections, having been prolonged
much beyond the usual time because Of
the lateness of the crop. Light rains
from time to time will best promote the
development of the crop for the next two
or three weeks, after which time rather
dry open weather is to be desired.
Cotton is opening very fast in Texas,
but slowly in other states. The move
ment will be delayed about ten days or
two weeks beyond the usual time before
it gains any volume.

MURDEROUS MEXICANS
Telegraph Poles Decorated With Dead
Men.

Waco, Tex.-"All around Torreon the
telephone poles are decorated with dead
men, murdered by the soldiers, and at
Rails last week twenty-three bodies were
hanging at one time" DR.. Walter Lee
Austin. now of Waco, is told in a letter
from a friend in Zacatecas, Mexico. DR..
Austin, for nearly four years, was a sur
geon for the Mexican national lines, with
headquarters at Torreon.
The Zacatecas friend sends photo
graphs of the gruesome views to be
seen. In these pictures men are seen
hanging from the poles. Their bodies
are suspended from ropes around their
necks. He writes:
"The country is in bad shape and get.
ting worse. The government soldiers
are numbering all the rebels they can
catch, and the rebels are doing the same
thing"

Senators Chamberlain, Martin, Swan.
son and Culberson, after fighting bitterly
for the payment of the state claims
embodied in the general deficiency bill,
yielded to the ~rgings of their col.
leages and permitted the senate to yield
to the demands Of the house and strike
these claims from the bill. In return for
this concession, however, they reaceived
the promise of support next winter, at
which time the claims again will be
pressed for payment.
With these old claims, amounting in
all to 100000, went to the extra
months" pay for congressional employees,
which the senate demanded and the house
refused to give.
The president signed the general def.
cheney bill at 4:10 o'clock, making Ger.

payments that hinged on the passage of
the bill.

senate, to use the words of one observer.
A comparative handful of members occu.

have forced a return of the embarrassing
situation of last week.
A wild outbudst of applause greeted
Speaker Clark's announcement of adj
