A Big Mass Meeting Held at Birming-
ham to Discuss the Situation.
Birmingham, Ala, May 26.-An i'm
mense throng of all shades and positions
in life gathered at the Winnie Davis Wig
wan in this city today to discuss the
present situation between the mineopera-
tors and the miners. There were large
number of representative citizens of this
city present, and the meeting was
presided over by b. Steiner senior
member of the banking firm of
Steiner Bros. RESOLUTIONS were adopted
denOuncing the check system and other
evils now existing, and a committee was
appointed to try and effect a settlement
or the strike; also a committee to'wait on
the railroad employees and ask them to
refuse TO haul timber cut by scabs or CON
Ricts. Coed order prevailed, and every
thing passed off tremendously. The
troops Of the second regiment
Were ordered into camp last
night by Gov Jones. The camp is
named in honor of the lamented Forney
and is situated at Ensley City, six miles
from the city. Rigid discipline will be
adhered to. While no present trouble is
anticipated with the strikers, il was
thought the massing of troops would tend
TO keep down trouble, thus causing the
governor to order the enCampment earlier
than usual, The First and Third regi-
ments will also be ordered here after the
eXpira tion Of ten days.
BIRMINGHAM FULL OF MILITARY.
Birmingham, Ala, May 26.-Birming-
ham is full of military and striking min
ers to-day. Fourteen companies of the
Second regiment of state troops are
gathering here to 90 into camp at
Ensley City, 80 as to be on hand in case
of a threatened riot. Over one thousand
strikers marched in from the Pratt
mines this morning to attend a citizens
meeting assembled for the purpose of
endeavoring to settle the strike.

BUReLARs's NIGHT OFF.
No Robberiss Reported to the Police
Yesterday.


So far as is known the burglars let
Duffy street alone night before last No
robberies were reported to the police yes
terday. The entire neighborhood from
Habersham street west to West Broad,
however, is stirred up on account of the
recent bold raids that have been made by
what appear to be professional burglars.
The people feel that they are not prop
erly protected by the city, The streets
are patroled every hour by a mounted
officer but aside from keeping a lookout
for fires and suspicious characters on the
streets and seeing that there are no dis
turbances, this amounts practically to
nothing.
The city has two regular detectives
who are expected to look after the entire
detective work of the police department.
The trouble is there are not enough police
in the southern part of the city to prop
erly protect it. This is apparent from
the robberies and thefts that are con-
stantly going on there, and the
people see no other way to
secure protection for their houses and
property except to hire watchmen to de-
fend them. With three or four burglaries
of the most daring character every week,
gardens robbed and sneak thieves plum
dering right and left, it is apparent that
something must be done to give to resi-
dents and property owners the security
they have a right to demand
