Alabama Republicans Split.
TpIpora nh tn the state (,hrnnicJQ

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April 28.-
The Alabama Republicans split into
opposing factions here today and the
result was two distinct and separate
conventions. One wing convened at
the capitol, and the other crowd held
forth at the court house. The capitol
convention was controlled by Chair
man Moseley, Of the Repub-
lican State executive committee,
while the one at the court house
was dominated by opponents of
Moseley. The latter body is composed
largely of colored delegates, led by
Long (white), of Walker county, who
addressed the convention accusing
Moseley of trying to sell out to the
Democratic party. Both conventions
effected temporary organizations with
out trouble. A proposition from the
court house convention to the capitol
convention, looking to a compromise,
was declined. The capitol conven-
ton soon accomplished it's work,
selecting delegates to the National
convention and re-eiecting Moseley as
chairman Of the State executive COM
mittee. The administration and Har-
rision were endorsed. The delegates
to the National convention are: Ex.
Gov. Smith, Birmingham; A. V. Nc
Even, and G. n. Dorsett, Montgomery;
Jesse Noble, Admission. The courthouse
convention elected contesting delegates
and adjourned.

THE REASON WHY.
Nr. Wins Tells Why His Steamers No
More Touch at Newport News.

By Telegraph to the State Chronicle.
WAsHINGToN, April 2S.-President
WINS, Of the United States and Bra
lillian steamship company, explained
to the Senate commerce committee to-
day Why his company had taken some
of their ships off the line between New
port News and Rio against the protest
of that port and Richmond. The
hearing was on Senator Vests bill,
which authorizes the postmaster gen
eral to refuse any line subsidies that
discriminates against any of the United
States ports. Mr.. WINS stated
that none of his steamers were sub
sidiz=d and that he did not want
any subsidy and furthermore, the COM
pany had been giving the government
subsidy for the past ten years. All
of the tempest that had swept over
Missouri, Virginia and the Southern
ports, he said, against the alleged DIS
elimination of his line, had been caused
by his refusal to carry few hundred
bags of coffee to Newport News for
Richmond people. He gave figures to
show that the number of bags of coffee
transported to Richmond by his line
had dwindled from 5000 bags to about
1000, and asserted that it did not pay
for his steamers to call at Newport
News to land such a small cargo.
