h in ^condition, all that section of the
gtstt, embracing six or eight heavy
counties, being able to with-
itsnd the drought for some time to come.
The situation is critical, however, at many
Mints but with general rains in the next
fishidsys a lull average cotton crop may
retro made. On the line of the Transcon-
ins! railroad, and also the two branches
of the Missouri Pacific road the prospects
are fairly good, white in southern Texas
cotton is spotted, being fair in some sec
tions and bad in others. The central and

soon this region will soon be seriously in-
fared as far is the cotton cron is concern

promt writing.

Sjw Orleans, Aagnst 4.—The report of
the cotton crop of the United States for
the month of July by the National Cotton
Exchange is as follows: The month ot

ftTorable for the cotton crop, and has re

ceisive, particularly in South Carolina,
and the betterment is mainly in Georgia.

Caldwell, Kan., August 6. -Gen. Hatch
moved bis beadquarteis from this city into
the lield yesterday, his camn being twenty*
live miles southeast of Chichaskia river,
where six companies of the Ninth Cavalry
are concentrated. His future movements
have not been made public, but there is no
doubt that from this time forward the
blows will fall thick and fast until the lost
intruder has been expelled from Okalonia.
An impression prevails that the nest at
Hock Falls, a few miles biles below Iiunne-
well, will bo raided first, the printing press
and belongings confiscated, and the con*
tents of the notorious drug store destroyed,
and that l'ayne and his ring leaders will
be marched to Fort Smith to answer the
numerous indictments in the Federal
court. The valley settlement will proba
bly be cleared up next by a detachment
pf troops striking simultaneously from
numerous camps along the Cimmarren
and north fork of the Canadian river.

Washington, August C.—The President
has issued an order directing the Secretary
of War to employ the military forces for
the removal of the intruders in Indian
Territory. In obedience to this order the
lieutenant-general of the array bu direct
ed by telegraph the commandijg general
of the division of the Missouri to remove
from the Territory all persons who may be
within its limits in violation of law and of
the President’s proclamation of July 1.
General Augur, who in July bad been di
rected to make the removal at the request
of the Secretary of the Interior, expressed
unwillingness to actnnless an order should
come direct from the President, on the
ground that without such an order officers
making the removal might be held per
sonally responsible.
Fire In New York.
New York, August 6.—The dyeing and
cleaning establishment of Charles Franke.
at 018 North Fourth street, was wrecked
this morning by an explosion, resulting
in a fire. Tbc whole fire department of
the up-town district was called out to bat
tle with what threatened to assume the
proportions of a disastrous conflagration
in a very dangerous neighborhood. The
Hames were confined to the dye shop, but
wrecked that completely. Three men
were burned, but not fatally. The build
ing is five stories high and stands among
tenements which are thickly populated.
Ordinarily a number of girli are at work in
the place, but it had not been running
since Saturday. This morning a fire was
made under the boiler, when an explosion
occurred, caused, it Is thought, by gas.
Other explosions occurred, which burst up
the second floor, and the barrels of
benzine stored under it caught fire
from scattered fagots and blew up like so
many kegs of powder. At the last report
the entire front of the building was blown
with a crash against tho wall on the oppo
site tide.

Washinton, August 3.—The back part of
the United States Hotel building, situated
on Pennsylvania Avenue, a abort distance
nest ot the capitol, fell in without warning
this evening, and buried in the ruins a
number of the inmates. The building has
a frontage of 125 feet on the avenue and a
depth of 185 feet the rear end opening
upon the alley leading frorafThird to Four-
and-a-Haif street. A small portion of the
rear wall was the first to give way and a
geneggl collapse of the rear portion imme
diately fallowed, sending up a great clond
of dust. A general fire alarm was sounded,
which brought to the scene of the disaster
a number of engines and hook and ladder
companies and a force of police. There
were about forty-five persons in tho hotel
at the time the disaster occurred, includ
ing gnests and employes, and it was im
possible at first to ascertain how
many were bnried in the
mass of debrit, which occupied
the ground npon which the rear portion ol
the building nad stood. Cries and groans
could be heard from the ruins, showing
that all who were there Imprisoned were
not dead, A large force of men went to
work at once, and in the course of an hour
Ernest Snooks, a boy 11 years old, and
Annie Dickson, a colored chambermaid,
were taken out, both alive but badly in
jured. In the meantime it had been ascer
tained that the number of persons buried
in the ruins did not probably exceed seven,
viz: Mrs, Belden, wife of the
proprietor, Ernest Snooks, a boy
eleven years old, son of a .restaurant
keeper next door, and five colored servants.
It is feared that those who have not been
rescued are dead. The part of the build
ing which /ell in contained chiefly rooms
appropriated to the use ot the employes of
tlie hotel, and it is believed that none ot
the guests have been either killed or in*
jured. The United States Hotel is one of
the oldest structures in the city, and is
said to have been for a long time in an un
safe condition. The barkeeper is reported
to have made complaint to the inspector
of buildings some days ago with regard to
its condition,dangerons.cracks in the walls
having become visible on the outside The

Up to midnight but three persons bad
been taken out ot She mine—all ol them
alive. These were the lad Snooks, Anna
Dickson, chamber-maid, and Mrs. Belding,
wife of the proprietor ot the hotel. The
latter was rescued at 11:30 o'clock, stier
having been imprisoned four hours. .She
was on the first floor of the back of the
building, and was canght in a V-shaped
space formed by a part of tke second floor
resting in a slanting position against a side
wall. After the firemen and volunteeri
had worked two hours digging down into
the debris from the surface, the force of
