Organization of Congress the Final Touch of Huerta's Defiiance-No Anti-American Feeling Among
 Mexican Population.

Mexico City, Nov. l8.-Surprise was occasioned here this morning by Washington dispatches received indicating the United States does not contemplate active measures in support of the governments warn ings that the new congress must not convene.
 The completion of the preliminary organization of the congress is re- garded as putting the final touch to Huertas defiance of the United States and other world powers.
 The Mexican officials seem of the belief that the United States is bluff ing and declare they are satisfied there will be no armed interference.
 The foreigners in Mexico would welcome intervention as a great re- lief from the present tension under which they have been laboring for the past week especially.
 A singular fact. which has been much commented on, is the entire absence of anti-American feeling among the Mexican population. and the fact that all the newspaper eff forts to stir up such feeling have thus far proved unaVailing

PASSED 5000 MARK
Cotton Coming in Rapidly-Price Ranges From l01ac to 13c-Be-
 ceipts Will Equal Last Year.

In spite of the adverse season, it is claimed that the number of bales of cotton for this year will exceed the number marketed in Mena last season. This means that about $500 bales will pass through the hands of Mena buyers.
 One interesting feature of the To- cal market is the large number of bales brought from a distance. Not a day passes but what Oklahoma cotton is brought here, and from distances as great as thirty-tlve miles, It means that Mena buyers pay a better price and the farmers are able to do their trading more advantageously among the local merchants.
 The prices paid here are from i0bc to t3c, but the average brings around lie. Some of the cotton is of middling grade. but the majority is below that standard.
 Following is the number of bales bought by local buyers:

TWO FARMERS HELD UP
Masked Highwaymen Rob John IalkingtOn and John GOOdnpr Yes
 terday AfternOOn-NO Clue.

John Talkinslon and Tom Good her. prominent farmers of Ink. were held up and robbed about , o'clock Tuesday afternoon while driving along the new Cherry Hill road a mile west of the Ouachita bridge about four miles east of Mena.
 While driving down a hill Mr. Ialkington saw something move in d pine thicket. The mules drawing the wagon Shied and started tO run. By the time Mr.. GOOdner, who was driving, had quieted the animals, the gentlemen saw two men with hand kerchiefS tied over their faces ad- vance with drawn pistols. They gave the order of hands up" and then requested their victims to stand up in the wagon and hand over their pOcketbOOks. From NJ. Goodner one of the hold-ups 0b- lained two 8 bills. dollar in sil- yer and some small change, leaving two pennies in the purse. On de- mand of the other, Mr. Talkinston shelled out $40.
 As soon as the highwaymen had accomplished their purpose they told Mr. Goodner and Mr Talking ton to drive on. but not to look back until they got over the top of the hill.
 We willingly drove on" said Mr Goodner. in telling of the hOld-up but just as We got to the top of the hill both of us turned and looked back. and, like Lots wife. got into trouble. One of the robbers took a shot al us, but fortunately the bullet did not come near us. After this backward glance. and the shot, II yelled. Get up, Jude and Jude did her part
 Mr. GoOdner had come to Mena in the morning with cotton, and knowing that Mr. TalkingtOn would arrive on No. 3 from a visit in IlIi- nois, waited for him sO that he might ride home. He has no clue to the identity of the robbers but is of the opinion that the hold-up was committed by parties who knew he had marketed cotton and would probably have money on his person when he returned home.
