About the Conference. “Nothing of importance was done at the conference,” said Mr. Mitchell, when asked concerning it. “Nothing, in fact, was contemplated. We simply met and discussed the causes and progress of the strike." "Did Governor Stone represent J. Pier pont Morgan or any of the anthracite presidents?” “I did not understand that he was rep resenting any one besides himself.” “Is a settlement any nenarer because of the conference?” “No.” Did Governor Stone propose that the miners should return to work on a prom ise of ccncessicn being made afterward by the operators?” “No proposition of that kind was sub milted. There is no foundation for the report that the men are to return to work on a promise that the operators will make concessions and aroitarte after ward.” “Would the miners return to work un de- such an arrangement?” “They would not.” Mitchell declared ?hat the men are con fident of winning. "There have been no desertions among the strikers,” he said. vThey feel certain of their ability to win." "Are you as confident as «ever of win ning?” Is Very Hopeful. ‘‘I am certainly very hopeful now that the strike will be ended in our favor. Our defense fund that is being collected at the national headquarters in India napolis is proving sufficient to relieve the distress in the region. About 25.000 min ers have left the region since the strike began, leaving about 130,000 to be cared for.” "Are the troops to be withdrawn from the region?" "Not that I know of. All the Informa tion I have on the matter Is what I get from the papers. There is no need of the troops, however, as the men are or derly. They are keeping within the law.” "Is any coal being taken out of the re gion?" "A little is going out, but no new coal is being mined. Most of the coal now being shipped was mined before the strike began. No mines are being start ed and no members of the organization are returning to work.” Strickland Appointed.

Now that his leave has about expired the navy department has referred his case to Dr. Rixey, surgeon-general of the navy. Coi structor Hobson called in per son at the navy department a short time ago and saw Dr. Rixey. who without hav ing to make a special examination, has pronounced the officer fit for duty. Constructor Hobson desires to resume his former duty at the Crescent Ship building company. -Captain Hobson has notified the navy department that he will persist in his determination to retire be cause of an affection of the eyes.

Recently two officers of the construc tion corps have resigned from the ser vice. With the immense amount of ship building now in progress the services of all the naval constructors ore especially needed.

It is said that the Russian minister to the Holy See will purposely be absent from Romo during the sojourn of the czar here, so as to render it easier to ignore the Vatican. Papal diplomacy Is doing its utmost to prevent such an awkward incident, which is attributed to the desire of the czar to show his displeasure at the pope's action in withdrawing the papal nuncio from The Hague because he was not invited to take part In the peace con gress.

FIGHT FOR POINTS IS PERMISSABLE JUDGE MAKES CHARGE TO GRAND JURY CONCERNING M'GOVERN CORBETT FIGHT SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 22. Louisville, September 15.—In his charge to the grand jury today Judge Barker of the criminal division of the Jefferson circuit court referred to the McGovern Corbett contest scheduled to take place in this city September 22, and after quot ing the Kentucky law in the case and de fining a prize fight as any fight for a prize, whether a title, bet, wager or stake, he stated that statute does not prohibit a “sparring exhibition’’ until the winner takes something he would not have secured had he lost. Continuing the judge declared: “I have nothing to do with the policy of this law. We have nothing to do with the question as to whether prize fights ought or ought not to be given. We have to do simply with the enforcement of this law just as we find it on the statute book. “1 wish to reiterate that any fight at which the winner gets something that he would not have gotten if he had not been declared the victor, .whether large or small in amount, is a prize fight: other wise not. A fight for a champolnship or for a belt or for money or for anything of value in my opinion is a prize fight. “As to this particular prize fight or fight, whatever it is called, I understand that the police authorities have it in their charge and that the mayor has said that there should be no violation of the law, I want to say to you that I have every confidence in what the mayor says. “Should you believe that there will be a violation of the law then it will be your duty to take it up, or the duty of the next grand jury to take the matter in hand.’’ Attorney General Pratt arrived here to night from Frankfort and will tomorrow file an injunction suit, in accordance with Governor Beckham’s Instructions to de termine the status of the contest.

ELMORE MAY BE R. R. COMMISSIONER RUMORED IN SELMA THAT HE RE SIGNED FROM SOLICITOR'S OF FICE FOR PURPOSE OF ACCEPT ING NEW JOB. Selma, September 15. (Special.) The tip has reached Selma that the resigna tion of Col. B. F. Elmore as solicitor of the first Judicial circuit was brought about by the fact that Colonel Elmore is to be appointed associate railroad com- j missioner, vice Judge A. E.

New York, September 15.—After an ex penditure of $21,000,000 and the sacrifice of twenty-four human lives, the Rapid Transit sub-way under construction In this city is, according to the World, ex actly three-fifths completed. The state ment of the stage of progress Is based on data corr.pildes in the office of Chief En gineer Parsons. When' the workmen were last paid off $21,000,000 In round figures had been dis bursed, or three-fifths of the $35,000 for which John B. McDonald contracted to build the tunnel. There have been only two notatle dis asters to call attention to the danger of life involved In the great undertaking. These cost the number of lives men tioned. It is estimated that the task will occupy another year at least. Ihe men In charge of the work are of the opinion that they have been fortun ate thus far in reducing the peril to life and limb to the minimum. They say that after millions of people have been walk ing, driving and riding in street cars for two years on the brink of an excavation extending for miles through the city, and thousands of men have been employed in hazardous underground work, the wonder is that the list of victims is not much longer. It has been necessary to excavate 3, 000,000 cubic yards of solid rock, and for menths the contractors have been using one and one-half tons of dynamite a day for blasting. It is promised that New York will be gin to recover from Its tcrn-up condi tion within a short time. Only a few blocks here and there remain to be exca vated, ard several section or the tiftinel are nearly completed. STEAMSHIP TRUST FORMED. Morgan and Others Get Together On the Big Combination.

Republican Committee Decides Not to Allow Negro Del egates Seated RESOLUTION PISSED BI I VOTE Of 17 TO ID Strenuous Protests Come From All Parts of the Hall, But the Move Ment for White Man’s Party Won. THE republican state executive committee has refused the ad mittance of negro delegates to the state convention, which meets to morrow. This action was the result of several hours’ strenuous struggle yes terday between those of the new re gime, known as the lily whites, and those not in favor of barring out the negro. This means that henceforth the republican party in Alabama is to be a white man’s party. The elimination of the negro was ac complished through the passage of a res olution adopting the report of the sub committee which was appointed at the meeting of the full committee on Satur day, and which had considered all con tests and passed upon all credentials pre sented by delegates throughout the state. When this report was read yesterday not a single negro's name appeared upon it, although on the list of delegates from more than one county there were the names of negroes when the credentials were given to the sub-committe for ac tion. Immediately following a resolution to adopt the report as a whole there came from several parts of the house protests of a vehement nature. These protests kept coming in so fast that at one time I it looked as though the resolution could not be passed. By strenuous work, how ever, those favoring the resolution finally put it through with a vote of 17 for to 10 against. COMMITTEE WAS SLOW. When the executive committee was first called to order yesterday morning there was some delay in the report of the sub-committee on contests and creden tials. Attorney J. C. Cook gave the com mittee assurances that within thirty min utes the sub-committee would present its report, but at the end of that time no members of that body had appeared and a resolution was passed to the effect that unless the sub-committee reported in ten minutes the committee as a whole would proceed with making up the roll of delegates to the convention. A commit tee was sent to notify the sub-committee and that body soon appeared and pre sented its decisions. From Montgomery there had come one delegation With two negroes on It. An other had come os a bolting delegation. The report of the committee replaced the names of the two negroes with the names of two members of the bolting delegation. From Hale county Ad Wlmbs had been sent as a delegate and several other ne groes were on other delegations. The re port of the sub-committee declared that Hale county’s actions had been irregular and threw out the delegation altogether. From Montgomery there had come two white delegations. These had been com promised by placing half from one and half from the other. In this manner the report of the sub committee showed that it3 members had worked faithfully with the end in view of throwing the negro out of the repub lican party, in so far as allowing him representstlon in the state convention; and it was upon this report that the fight was made by those favoring the holding? in line of the negro vote. THOMPSON OPPOSES REPORT. Following the motion of the chairman of the sub-committee, N. W. Trimble, that the report he adopted as a whole. J. O. Thompson, postmaster of Tuskegee, and brother of Congressman Charles W. Thompson, secured the floor and spoke against such action. He said he did npt like to Impugn the motives of the com mitteemen, but he did think that in theli; desire to see the party grow in Alabama they had made a grave mistake and lost signt of justice. He could not see tfle re port adopted wlmout making a protest, and said he had thought o\er the negro question and had decided, since the re moval of the vicious, Ignorant negro vote, ne believed the men remaining should have recognition. He declared that no negro without seme merit could vote now, and he wanted to see his party rec ognize that merit, and not show prejudico at the first chance given it. He pleaded for sober and better judgment, saying ho was anxious to see the party grow, but he did not want it to lose sight of ltd old principle that every man should have a. right to vote and see his vote counted, no matter on which side cast. He railed loudly for the old i lank of equal rights. PROTEST OF I. POLLOCK. The protest from Mr. Thompson wad followed by an eloquent protest from I. Poliak of Montgomery. His speech w&s as follows: “I must protest egainst this measure. If you decide to accept this measure and destroy every vestige of government and assume a regime of anarchy and reign of a commune. Every man would then have the right to declare himself a dic tator, name himself a committee, cf peo ple. whether they were alive or dead, and assume first his authority over a beat then a county, a district, a state, and then the government of the United States. “The fundamental principles of govern ment must be based upon honesty. There can be no compromise upon honesty. You make an exception to honesty and you destroy the very government. It Is said that if we allow- the seating of the few colored delegates we w-ill lose 20,000 white voters in the state. 1 say to you.

M-■ STATE FAIR WILL OPEN OCTOBER 23 ANY FARMER NEAR BIRMINGHAM CAM HAVE HIS FODDER SHRED DED FREE BY HAVING IT BROUGHT TO THE FAIR. Any farmer or corn grower near Bir mingham can have his fodder shredded free of charge by having it brought to the fair grounds, where a splendid shred der will be at work on every day of the state fair. This is an opportunity worth thinking about. Corn fodder is worth five times as much after shredding as in Its natural state. It becomes as good for feed as the best of hay, and all kinds of live stock thrive upon it. Any one desiring to ac cept this opportunity should communi cate with J. A. MacKnight, general su perintendent, at once. The decision of the management to open the fair on Thursday, October 23, with great eclat has been received with enthusiasm throughout the state. It is probable that the official programme of the entire fair will be published In a few days, but the management gives out the following for the opening day: "All exhibits, privilege stands, side show's, etc., will be in place and the grounds and buildings in a state of readi ness by noon on October 22. We expect Governor Jelks and his staff to reach the city on Wednesday, as also some of the troops. But most of the latter will reach here by special early trains on Thursday morning. The grounds will be opened to the public at 10 o’clock, and all the at tractions of the fair, the music, the ex hibits, the beautiful free attractions throughout, will be in full blast from that hour. By about 11:30 a. m. the gov ernor arid his staff, escorted by the mili tary, will reach the grand stand, in front of which the troops will line up and the governor’s salute of seventeen guns will be fired by a battery of artil lery either from Birmingham or Mont gomery. All will then witness the mar velous act of the diving horses and the cannon-balloon performance of Professor Alvini, the air wizard. Then there will be time for luncheon, and at 1:30 p. m. the military drills-and contests will take place in front of the grand stand in a large space specially prepared for the purpose. There are indications that if the day is pleasant from 15.000 to 20,000 persons will be present at the fair grounds on the opening day, because no such attrac tions have ever before been offered in Birmingham. Powder Face and Cupid are the two diving horses that plunge from thirty to forty feet, of their own volition, into water like human beings, from a plat form without the aid of springs or traps or any device whatsoever. Without a question the diving horses are the only new thing under the sun, and stand to day the greatest attraction and novelty ever presented to the public In the amuse ment world. To train theBe horses to make this dive required Bix long years of constant hard work. They were train ed with sugar and kindness, treated as companions and friends and are more like human beings than like horses. They use the same caution preparatory to div ing that a man uses, never make a mis take and look for their reward of sugar after diving with the same eagerness that a child displays for candy. The horses do not jump from the platform but put their w’eight on their breasts, push with their hind feet make a perfect head fore most dive. The object of the incline from which they dive is to enable the horse to clear the platform with his hind legs os he straightens out and plunges into the air. Old Citizen Dead.

Alabama Brewing Co. “Bohemian Beer.” ITS PRESIDENT _ leader of Humane Society Charged With Cruelly SAYS CHARGE IS MALICIOUS President Kates Is the First Man to Be Arrested Charged With Cruelty to Animals Since Soci ety’s Organization. A case was docketed In the police court yesterday against President T. Kates of the Humane society recently formed In Birmingham, and the prime mover In or ganizing It, charged with cruelty to an imals. The arrest was made Saturday by Policeman Oldham, but Mr. Kates gave bond for Ills appearance yesterday, judge Feagln, however, postponed the T W PRESIDENT T. KATES. hearing until next Friday at 1 o’clock, several of the witnesses summoned for the prosecution being absent when the case was called. President Kates is the first man to be arrested charged with cruelty since the organization of the society. It is alleged that he has a mule in service which has a sore knee and that it is cruelty to drive this mule. He admits that the mule has a sore knee but makes the following statement: "I have been connected with humane work for a number of years and any vet enary Surgeon will tell you that it is much better for a horse or mule to be driven with a sore knee than to be left idle In the stable. "If the animal Is not exercised the scab will form over the sore and when It, is placed at work again the sore will be stiff and the scab will break, thus pro longing the pain and Suffering of the an imal. If It Is kept at work the scab will form and there will be no breaking or stiffness. It Is not considered a violation of the humane laws to drive a horse in this condition. "I was arrested at the instigation of the opposition. If you were in court you noticed that none of the prosecuting wit nesses were present. Judge Feagin asked if I wanted the case nol pressed and I said I did not, wishing to prove in open court that I am not guilty of any cru elty. *The entire matter was done through malice." Prince Robinson, a negro dray driver, A. J. Hall of the Union Transfer com pany and other3 are named as the wit nesses in the case. NAMES CANDIDATES.

The republican state convention will be called to order today at noon by Temporary Chairman Jarhes Bowron. All the delegates to the conven- tlon will be white men, the execu tlve committee having decided not to seat any negro delegates. Senator J. C. Pritchard of North Carolina will address the conven- tlon. J. T. McElderyhas been slated for governor, J. C. Fonville for see- retary of state and Joseph H. Montgomery for attorney general.

THE first white man’s republican state convention In the history of Alabama will be held today In the new city hall. As delegates to this convention there are in Birmingham this morning more than 500 of the strongest workers for the party to be found in tho counties of the state. The convention will be called to order at 12 o’clock by the temporary president, James Bowron, who was selected for T*nis purpose by the members of the executive committee at their meeting Saturday morning. N. L. Steele of Montgomery will act as temporary secretary. The delegates to the convention number 350 men, and there are 350 alternates. All of these are wf.ite men, not a single ne gro being seated by the credential com mittee of the executive committee, which made its report yesterday, and over which there was a very strenuous fight. With only four or five exceptions, every coun ty In Alabama is represented by dele gates. Hotel Lobbies Crowded. The~liotels were crowded last night by hundreds of these delegates who arrived during the day. The Hillman _was a bee hive of busy talkers during the evening. JOHN H. BINGHAM, Collector of Internal Revenue and One of the Sub-Committee Which Re ported Adversely to Seating Negro Delegates. while many were seen In the Florence, the Metropolitan and the Morris. The j headquarters were at the Hillman, and j Its lobbies were crow'ded with de'egates until long pa3t 2 o clock this morning. Sen. J. C. Pritchard of North Carolina, who is the guest of the Jefferson county republicans, arrived this morning at 1 o’clock on the Alabama Great South ern south-bound train which was three hours late. He was accompanied by his wife, Mr. White and his private secre tary. They were met at the union station by a large delegation of enthusiastic members of the party and escorted to the Hillman. Senator Pritchard Pleased. Senator Pritchard expressed himself as delighted at being able to attend the meeting of the Alabama republicans when the outlook of the party was so bright and the enthusiasm at such a high pitch, as he judged it to be by the re ports he had received. During the day Senator Pritchard will address the mem bers of the convention. At the Hillman tonight at 9 o’clock a banquet will be given in his honor. This will be brilliant In every respect. The invitation committee which has charge of the arrangements, consists of Truman H. Aldrich, J. Carter Cook, Joseph 13. Montgomery, J. B. Wallace and J. W. Hughes The question as to who will be nomi nated, for the various state offices at the meeting today was the talk throughout the hotel lobbies during the night. A number of candidates for different offices were discussed but few with any degree of certajnty. Only two or three names have been definitely settled upon. Probable Candidates. J. T. McEldery of Talladega, formerly a democratic state senator, will In all probability be named for governor. He is a prominent manufacturer and a business man of Influence. For lieutenant gover nor a number of names have been men tioned. but none with enough definite ness to warrant the statement that they will even be suggested to the convention proper. JoBeph H, Montgomery of Birmingham UNITED STATES SENATOR J. C. PRITCHARD, Who Will Address the Repulican Convention Today. will in all probability be nominated for attorney general. It is possible, how evaf, he may be named for some other position on the ticket, but he is promi nently mentioned for attorney general. J. C. Fonville of Crenshaw, a former populist, will be nominated for secretary of state. He is being prominently dis cussed and will doubtless be given this place. H. E. Brown, a banker from Ever green, was spoken of for treasurer. For permanent president of the conven tion J. W. Davidson will be elected, in all probability. W. I. Wellman will be made chairman of the new executive committee to succeed William Vaughan, w’ho voluntarily retires from the leader ship of the committee. All other matters are yet in doubt.

The San Francisco in Hampton Roads. Newport News, September 15.—The pro tected cruiser San Francisco arrived in Hampton Roads Sunday from Havre, France, via the Aaiores, and yesterday went to the navy yard at Norfolk for a survey by the naval board. The cruiser was recently remodeled there and is said to be in such a dilapidated condition that a board of inquiry may be ordered to in vestigate the cause. BIG FIRIvfTO MOVE. Collins Co.

Among the numerous firms that will move on October 1 will be that of Collins Co., wholesale grocers, who have for merly occupied the building at the cor ner of Morris avenue and Twenty-first street.

Alabama Brewing Co. “Bohemian Beer." DEVELOPING THE BELT RAILROAD VICE PRESIDENT WINCHELL AND CHIEF ENGINEER PURDON IN CONFERENCE WITH GENERAL MANAGER CLARK—BUILD SPURS Vice-President and General Manager B. Ii. Winchell, General Superintendent A. J. Davidson, Division Superintendent II. M. Fickinger, Chief Engineer C. D. Pur don and the other officials of the Frisco Bystem who arrived in Birmingham Sun day morning, left last night. They start ed out on a tour of Inspection last week and will be on the road until the first of October. They will reach Kansas City Tuesday and will be in Texas by Sunday. Mr. Mitchell spent a part of yesterday in calling on prominent citizens, includ ing bankers, merchants and corporation officials. This is his role on each visit. In this way he keeps in touch with the community and puts himself In a posi tion to develope the terminal facilities of his line In a matter to meet the demands of the shipping public. The Frisco owns the Birmingham Belt railroad, of which George H. Clark Is general manager and Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Purdon and other officials were in con ference with Mr. Clark for an hour or more for the purpose of discussing de tails of plans for the construction of new spur tracks. The policy of the Frisco is to develop the Belt and encourage the location of new industries on its line. No heavy work has been done under the new ownership but between now and January Mr. Clark will probably have the construction of several spur tracks under way. Just before leaving Mr. Mitchell said that he was more enthusiastic about Bir mingham than ever. “The city eoems to i>e growing by big leaps," he remarked. It has got to a point where nothing can check its progress." RAILROAD WORLD. C. S. McManus, the new general super intendent of the western district of the Southern railway, with headquarters at Chattanooga, says the Girmingham divi sion, under the superintendence of C. S. Hayden, is in excellent shapo-ln better shape now than it has been in six months. Some of the divisions in the western districts have more mileage than the Birmingham division but on account of the heavy tonnage originating here this division is regarded by the high of I ftc.ials as the one requiring the greatest skill in handling. R. C. Hicks, commercial agent of the Seaboard Air-Line, had hoped to be in his new office in the Ward building by the first of October, but the furniture which he recently ordered will not be finished for two or three weeks and it will be the 10th of October before the move from his present quarters is made. A dispatch from Wilmington, N. C., where offices of the Atlantic Coast Line are located, says: There is fresh talk of a merger of the Southern, the Atlantic Coast Lino and the' Louisville and Nashville under the Connecticut charter of the Atlantic Coast Line. Persons in a position to know the facts state that such a merger will take place in the near future, and the story has been printed here as if given out au thoritatively. It is understood that the general plan of the Northern Securities company will be followed, and that the merger will be completed as soon as the legal ob jections to that corporation are dissolved. All the head officials of the Coast Line system have been in New’ York for the past w'eek in conference with Harry Wal ters, the vice-president of the system. Mr. Walters is said to be the largest holder of Coast Line stock hnd was the chief figure in the deal by which the Coast Line secured the lines of the Plant system. It is believed confidently among rail road men here that the proceedings of tHe conference will be given out in the next few clays, and that Important an nouncements will be made on the return of the high officials from New York. Those who hfTve returned will say noth ing as to what was done at the confer ence. Hermitage, the sign painter, can be found at 216 North 20th street. Latter Probably Carried County by 1500 Majority 15 PRECINCTS GIVE HIM 882 There Are Thirty Yet to Hear From Which Will Probably Increase His Majority to 1500—Very Little Enthusiasm. The vote in the primary for attorney general yesterday was exceedingly light in this county, and in the count both candidates will fall several hundred votes short of the first primary, but the Indications are that Alexander M. Gar ber has carried Jefferson county by about 1200 majority over Massey Wilson. This election will probably go down in history as being one of the quietest ever participated in by the voters of Jefferson county. There were no disturbances of any nature. Very little interest has been manifested, except by personal friends of the two candidates. Following is the unofficial vote as re ceived last night: City Beats. Garber. Wilson.

There ar? thirty precincts yet to hear from. Captain Widgery Leaves. A big crowd gathered at the Salvation Army tent last night to listen to Staff Captain Wedgery, in his last service in Birmingham, After a number of testimonials by dif ferent Salvationists, the staff captain took for hlB text, Rev. 22 first to fourteen verses. Ills talk was straight and to the point, and was much appreciated by the crowd. Afterwards a number of lo cal Salvationists were commissioned as “local” officers, holding positions as treasurer, secretary, sergeant major, junior sergeant major and War Cry ser geant. Staff Captain Widgery left this morning at 6 o’clock for Atlanta. Active w'ork wil be begun today to raise the money necessary to equip the new shelter. Solicitors will be at work and the whole machinery of the army will be In motion toward that end. 0VER5000VKITING NEGROES COMING DELEGATES TO NATIONAL COL ORED BAPTIST CONVENTION, WHICH MEETS TOMORROW, ARE BEGINNING TO ARRIVE.
