He proposes to use the entire power of the executive and he proclaims In a forcible way that no prize fight shall take place In Tennessee. conditions In some conditions the gain from the use of Scott’s Emulsion of cod-liver oil is^rapid.

He was at once driven to the Arlington hotel, where a confer ence was held at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Judge Duffle adjourned court to be pres ent at the conference. Among those present were also State Attorney Teague, the officers of the Florida Athletic club and General Taylor. The meeting was held in private; newspaper reporters and correspondents were excluded, but a member of the conference said the citi zens' committee would endeavor to handle Governor Clark as they did Gen eral Taylor.

Hot Springs, Ark., Oct. 16.—A confer ence regarding the proposed fight took place at the Arlington hotel this after noon, Governor Clark, Judge A. M. Duf fee. Sheriff Houpt, State's Attorney Teague, the citizen's committee and their legal representatives participating. Newspaper men were excluded. A member of the conference stated af ter adjournment at 5:30 that ihe govern ment had agreed to leave the whole mat ter to the local authorities; that the lat ter have given him positive assurances that there will be no prize fight, but a glove contest as indicated in the revised articles of the agreement as sent out yes terday. He stated that the governor gave him positive assurance that if there was no law to prevent glove contests, and if only a glove contest was contem plated, he would not Invade the city with an armed force to prevent It. Another member of the conference committee stated that he could only re port progress of a favorable nature at the time of adjournment. The governor's views had undergone somewhat of a change, caused by a more thorough un derstanding of the intentions of the prin cipals, and that a brutal exhibition of the manly art was comtemplated to be brought off here. The programme is now to make a test case by causing the arrest of Maher and O’Donnell, who are both in near proxim ity to the city, some time tomorrow. They will be placed under bonds to keep the peace, which they will refuse to give, and they will go to jail, when a writ of ha beas corpus will be issued and taken be fore Chancellor Leatherman for trial. Col. John J. Sumpter, a church member, and one of the most active opponents of the mill, said this evening that he, in company with Judge Hudgins, had ex amined the statutes of the state and found that there is no law against prize fighting, and that he would oppose -any attempt that might be made to place the county under martial law for the purpose of suppressing something that was not a violation of any law. In other words, he did not propose to violate a law him self or see it done if he could prevent it. He was assured by the governor that there would be no militia sent to Garland county, but the governor would insist that there should be nothing more than a glove contesf. The conference as called today at the request of the citizens' committee, whose chief desire is to convince the governor that no infraction of the law is contem plated by the revised articles of agree ment, and that a contest with five ounce gloves for a limited number of rounds could not be construed as a prize fight or result in bodily Injury to either con testant. The citizens’ committee was represented by W. H. Martin, C. N. Rix, R. L. Williams, L. Thay, J. D. Kimball, J. B. Varndere, W. J. Little, L. D. Cooper, W. F. Waters, W. L. Babcock, J. W. Johns and C. G. Conners. Sheriff Houpt, Prosecuting Attorney Teague and Judge Duffle represented the Judicial and exec utive branch of the county government. Judge Duffle,at the request of Governor Clark, adjourned the circuit court until tomorrow so as to be present at the con* ference. The state was represented by Governor Clark and General Taylor. The conference began at 2:30 o’clock and last ed three hours. The members continued in earnest discussion during all this time. Prior to the holding of the conference Governor Clark was given a hearty re ception by the citizens. He greeted them cordially and expressed a desire to do right, to assist them out of their financial embarrassments, but could not allow the law to be violated that they might pros per to the detriment of the rest of the state. At 5 o'clock Judge Duffle and Governor Clark emerged from the conference room alone and walked to the Milwaukee hotel, where they made Inquiry for Judge B. B. Hudgins of the Fourteenth Judicial cir cuit. who is here for his health. Judge Hudgins has made several speeches against allowing the proposed contest coming off here or at any other point In the state. At a mass meeting held last Monday at the Methodist church he said that it would disgrace Arkansas forever If the officials allowed it. Today it»ls stated that Judge Hudgins has given his opinion that there was no law to prevent it. The Fighters on Exhibition.

St. Louis, Oct. 16.—That the Iron Moun tain railway officials feel assured that the Corbett-FItzsimmons fight will take place at Hot Springs is evident from the conference of the passenger agents at the headquarters of that company for two days past.

White of Des Moines, la., was lit the city yesterday on his way home from the Atlanta exposition. Mr. White i»! on the staff of the .Iowa State Register of Des Moines and is In charge of that paper’s agriculture exhibit at the exposi tion. In conversation with a State Her ald reporter Mr. White expressed himself as well pleased with the exposition. He said it was a great thing and ventured the prediction that inestimable benfit to the whole south would accrue from the showing there made. He said thousands of people from Iowa and other northwest ern states would visit the exposition and from there go Into almost every southern state to investigate for themselves the wonderful resources reported to be here. Mr. White furnishes the State Herald with the following proceedings of the farmers’ congress, which adjourned in Atlanta to meet at Fruithurst Tuesday, under special invitation from the Fruit hurst Fruit Growers’ and Winery asso ciation: special coacnes ror tne party were secured from the Southern railway and 110 delegates of the congress, nany of whom had their wives with them, board led the train for a day’B outing and recre ation. This select delegation represent ed thirty-eight states and some of the ablest talent of the country. "We reached Fruithurst at 9 o'clock in the morning, when the congress was called to order by President Clayton in the piney woods, where a very profitable session of the continuance of the pro gramme was discussed while the good people were preparing a royal feast. The association having a saw and planing mill on their grounds, nice pine benches were soon provided for our comfort. Af ter a few hours spent on the programme dinner was announced. There being enough ladies to fill the tableB It was voted that the president take the ladles to dinner. The president being a mar ried man and we having in our party a batchelor, Colonel Powell, of Pennsyl vania, our president conferred this honor on Colonel Powell. While this gentle man and the ladles were at dinner the regular routine of the business was dis pensed with and a regular line of short speech making was indulged In by the delegates, and speeches were made by members from Massachusetts to Florida and from New York to California. “As soon as dinner was Berved the la dies were driven over the grounds of the association and for several miles out to see the country. After being served to a grand dinner we were turned loose to do as we pleased. Everyone seemed to en joy himself to the fullest extent. Judge William Lawrence of Ohio was made chief of ceremonies and many nice things the judge hadl to say. After spending the afternoon In seeing the fruit farm and adjacent country, loading ourselves w’ith relics, telling Jokes and singing songs, we were called to order by our president at the depot, when Judge Lawrence made another of his speeches and a vote of thanks was tendered our hosts, Captain Phillips and Mr. Spencer; also a vote of thanks to Mr. White for the part he had taken in securing so great a treat for the congress. “At 6 p. m. we were taken by special train over to Tallapoosa, Ga., to a grand hotel, where another banquet was given and Judge Lawrence of Ohio again brought out for a speech. We found a superb supper In waiting for us at the hotel, where we were served with food fit for kings, to say nothing of the fine wine made from the grapes grown by the colony on their Alabama farm. After supper Judge Lawrence was called upon (to make a parting speech, and as all hadi so fully enjoyed themselves the Judge was just In the right mood to do his best. In this parting speech the judge spoke of what an honor it was to be an American citizen; how the Atlanta exposition and the friendly shake of hands at these great national congresses were healing over all the bttternr f, between the sections of our country He spoke of the grand re ception which the people of Georgia and Alabama had given the people of the north; how in this day’s mingling to gether we had formed renewed friend ships, which would last as long as time should last. “After the judge closed his speech the party joined in singing “America,” un der! the lead of Colonel Abraham of Iowa, who Is renowned as a famous singer of national songs."

GLUCK, Jeweler, 2018 1st avenue. 10-17-thu-sun THE RACES. Robert J. Is Still King. Lexington, Ky., Oct. 16.—Robert .T. proved blmself the best of the four start ers in the free-for-all paee today, and vanquished the two star performers. John R. Gentry and Joe Patchen, quite handily. His strongest rival for first honors was the New England gelding, Frank Agan, who figured In the three heats a close second, but a break near the wire of the deciding heat caused him to be placed last and Gentry second. Robert J. and Joe Patohen sold for $50 eaoh, while Agan and Gentry brought $15 as a field. In the first heat Agan drew the pole, with Robert J. on the outside, and tt wa| a merry slip to the half In 1:0114, against a stiff wind. Patchen and Frank Agan went like a team, with Robert J two lengths back and Gentry not In the hunt. Swinging down the home stretch Geers moved up with Robert J. and outfooted Agan by a small margin. In the next two heats It was Robert J. all the route, and the four pacers were closely bunched. Geers reserved his speed for the last, whre Mr. Hamlin’s great pacer showed he was by odds the best horse. Lynne Bell proved himself a game and reliable race horse today In the 2:11 trot. Five' of the Transylvania starters were In today’s event, and Lynn Bel proved the best. Altao won the third heat In 2:11. In the next heat McDowell wept away with Altao at a killing clip, making the half In 1.04%, and was a length in front of Lynne Bel. At the seventh furlong Al tao made a stand-still break and dropped out of It. The 2:20 pace proved tiresome before a conclusion was reached. Madge D. won a heat last evening, and after one today appeared distressed, but revived In the seventh and distanced the two heat winners, Harry Victor and Rjtssle Clay, In very slow time. The pair of pony trotters. Winnie D., by Aaron Wilkes, and Algeria Queen, by Algeria Wilkes, lowered the world record of 2:46 to 2:32%, double, to a bike wagon, making a new record for a trotting team under 1214 hands high.
