What threatened for a time to develop Into a battle between many hundreds of member of the American Society of Equity and their opponenta waa narrowly avoided to day. The members of the society have for nearly a year been waging a campaign in favor of co-operation In selling and hold ing their tobacco crop. The feeling en gendered between farmers who desired to "hold" and those who desired to sell, j especially those dealing with the so-called tobaoco trust, has already resulted In nu merous outrage. uch aa burning the to bacco barn, destroying young tobacco plant bed and In one or two Instance hooting Into the home of tobacco farmer. The anti-Equity farmers had called a big mas meeting, to be held In Court House square, to protest against the lawlessness which has been prevalent and to discuss means of protecting themselves In market ing their tobacco according to their desires. When the time for the meeting came a small army of Kqulty men was found to have taken liossesslon of the meeting place.v ine mayor immediately closed the sa loon and ordered a large force of special police sworn In.

OKLAHOMA NUT IN SENATE New State Will Not Be Represented in Upper House Early. VOTE BY PEOPLE IS NOT ENOUGH ieaiiatnre .Most Ratify Topnln Choice Before Sennte Will Recog nise Members-Elect Chosen by Direct ote. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-(Speclal.) When congress meets next month the new tte of Oklahoma will be represented In the, loyver branch by the admission of th members of the house from that state, bu there wi.l be no senator f r aon.e .line a er Messrs. Owen ami uie, the latti r tne firs blind man ever elected to a seat In Con gress, have been chosen by popular vote to represent the new state In the uppe house, but It will be necessary for the election to be ratified by the legislature be fore they can be seated. The time has no yet come when the senate Is willing to recognize the right of the people of a state to choose its senators by direct or popular vote and In consequence it Is necessary to select through the Joint ballots of the various legislatures. Were it not for the fact that Oklahoma Is a new state and h never yet been repreented In the senate the appointment by the governor of t-na tors would entitle such appointees to sea.p In the upper branch of congress, but as I Is, the legislature must first elect. There Is scarecely a doubt as to the ultimate rati ficatlon of the choice of the people of the new state, but Just when necessary acLlon will bo taken Is, of course, an open ques tion. Senators are divided Into three classes so that terms of one of three expire with tho outgoing of each congress; that is to say, of the ninety senators composing the present senute, the terms of thirty will ex pire on the 4th of March, 199, thirty more on the 4th of March, ion, and t-e rc-ia'nlei 4n 19U The two senator el ted fr m Okla homa will have to draw lots to d cide w'.ilch shall have the long term and which the short term. In this instance the lomj torm senator will serve until the 4th of March 1911, and he who Is so unfortunate as t draw the short term will end hfs offlc a career, unless re-elected, on tho 4th of March. OT. It 1 not poss'ble for the legls latnre, under the- rules of the senate, t designate which of the two senators sha'l have tha longer term, as that must be fixed by the method above descr'bed.

Upon the recommendation of Admiral Evans, four anchors will be carried by each vessel, so as to be ready for any emergency. The cost of provisioning the fleet is esti mated at about 375,000, contemplating the feeding of a force of 15.000 men for 100 days Only this week contract were awarded for head cheese, sausagea and veal. Advantage will be taken of the two-ocean cruise of the battleships to make test of the provision aboard their preservation, lacking and handling. It 1 dt-slred to find some suitable form of bagging in which to carry dried provisions, as it Is believed bags will afford the advantage of compact ness and greater facility in handling in difficult places thsn if their contents were carried In boxes or barrels. Incidental to the visit of the fleet to the Pacific coast, the Navy department ia mak lug arrangement to obtain a place for small arm tiring there, so a to give the men an opportunity for experience In that direction.

In Omaha the situation will remain un changed possibly for the coming wejit. ihln8 ure In the best of shape and no clearing house meetings have been nooei aary nor even contemplated, according to president Yates. Trobably there will be no set date for the annulmg of the cle.ir .ng house rule.

Nov. 10 The most event ful week In the financial history qf the present generation came to a close on Saturday, with conditions much clearer than a week before, but with some cloud still hanging over the financial horlson. The previous week had closed with tha disquieting announcement that the No '0rb""k ro""v" '" KM.000.000 cash despite the deposits by the government dur ing the week of nearly an equal sum, causing a net cash loss of $'A000,fiO. The bank statement of yesterday change thl situation. While It show a nominal decrease In required reserve of 1.1,liSi,8fO, more than two-thirds of thl decrease la due to the reserve requirements caused "by Increase in deposit because of the taking over of lonn from the trust rompanlea by the bank. Moreover, the actual cash los of 14,31.1000 1 due to tho j'tein of averaging account for tho entire week. In cluding aovetal belore the arrival of the new gold. Unless demands from the coun try are heavy next week the arrivals of additional gold will more than offset the loss of cash last ween and make a credit able showing for reserves on Baturuay next. Support for Truat Companies. The eca began on Monuay witn a feel ing of grave doubt a to the future of the two trust companies which had been sub jected to severe runs. The possibility that they might go down and ding with them much of tne financial structure which still stood erect, kept Mr. Moigan, the trust company pres,uents and 01 nor financial leaders In almost continuous session untU laie Sunday morning and again on Wednesday, until S o'clock In tho morning.

Indeed, the bank of England, In order to protect Its gold re- 8ervte' ralod its discount rato on Thurs day to 7 per cent, a rate wnk-h had not been before exceeded alnce lfc3. Tha Bank of France raised its rates lor discount to 4 per cent, The Bank ot Belgium to ( per cent, and the Bank of Germany, nt a spa tial meeting called on Friday, fixed tho unusual rate of 74 per cent. It Is not sur prising that 'these precautions Were taen to protect European bank reserves. In view of the fact that nearly $50.00,000 In gold wna engaged by American banking Institutions within less than two weeks. The first arrival of the yellow metal came at the critical moment when the trust company situation was uncertain on Tuesday. Then camu smaller consignment on Wednesday, and on Friday the delivery of 12,Sfil.reo by the Lusltanla. The demand for gold from E,,ronM came ,l 'vorble time In tomt respect, for tho outward movement of American product, of which the leading one are cotton and wheat. The. fact that European banker declined during tha sum mer to accept American finance bill, be cause they already scented the storm, made the demand upon them more sudden than would have been the case If American bankers had found it necessary at tho present time to buy cotton and grain bills to cover prevloua borrowings. Under th actual conditions Europe must pay, sub stantially In . gold, for the balance of ex ported products which Is being created In favor of this country by every bale of cot ton and carload of wheat placed on ship- board for export Cotton Movement Contested.

The same I true In regard to the movement of grain, which ha thu far been more easily handled at Duluth and other northwest pointa with the aid of western banks than haa the cotton move ment.
