day and see that they get a fair count
They are desperately in earnest, as their
every action indicates.
Capt. Kolb himself is on the move all the
time. always confident Of success. He WIS.,
its the small towns and out-of-the-way
places, where he denounces the democratic
party for alleged fraud, abuses Cleveland
for his financial policy and tells how he
himself has been "swindled of the govern
orship'' on two different occasions. Kolb
big Farmers Alliance meetings and picnics.
where he is the guest of honor and the hero
Of the hour among the wool hats"
Some of his speeches contain much red
pepper" He openly announces that anoth-
er attempt by the democrats to 'swindle
him out of the governorship," as he calls il,
will be met with bloodshed. He declares
that IL he gets fair count this time he i'll
be elected by from $1,000 to 1000 majority.
p. G. Bowman, kolb's first lieutenant, has
recently been to New York, where IL is re-
ported, he made financial arrangements for
the conduct of Kolbs campaign. He was
abroad that Bowman went to Lombard
street, London, in this connection. How
and what financial arrangements Were
made the kolb men will not tell.
What the Republicans Will Do.
The republicans, that is, the white repub-
licans, will. it is now believed, support Kolb
The party leaders, IT is said, agreed to this
in November last when the various COM
mittees Of the anti-democratic forces met
here The agreement of the republicans is
said to have been based on the promise of
the Kolbites to help support republicans for
minor county and legislative Offices in To-
calities where the republicans are strongest
This did not seem to meet the approval of
wing Of the republican party led by Ed
mund Morton Smith of Cullman.
These disaffected republicans held a con-
ference and denounced the action of Chair
man Moseley in endeavoring to have the
party support Kolb. They also recommend
ed that straight-out state and congressional
tickets be put in the field. The disafected
leaders held another meeting recently, and
1t is believed they were appeased as they
have called a conference of republicans to
be held here on February 8, the same day
that the Kolb-Populite convention meets.
Democrats are much encouraged over the
report that Senators Morgan and Pugh, as
well as other members of the Alabama dele
cation in Congress, will come to the rescue
and stump Alabama for the regular democ-
racy, a thing which neither Morgan or
Pugh did in the campaigns of 1892 AS the
free silver views of the two Senators as
well as those of several Alabama Congress
men coincide with those held by the Kolt
men, ii is hoped by the democrats that the
Congressional orators will have a wide in
fuence for democracy in this state.

COMMITTEE OF AWARDS

factory Results-Other Expositfonss

A report OF the executive committee %
awards of the worlds fair, to accompany
President Palmer's report of the Columbian
commission to President Cleveland, has.
been made public. The executive committee
consists Of Commissioners John Boyd
Thacher of New York. A T. Britton of the
District of Columbia, A b. Andrews of
North Carolina, w. ]. Jewell OF New Jersey
and b. b. Smalley of Vermont In the mar
rative of the history of the board ana its
work, the report calls attention to the fact
that the acceptance of the Presidents invf-
tation to participate in the exposition. by
foreign governments. was subsequent to the
adoption Of the system under which the
awards were given. The basis OF this was q
standard Of excellence established in each
class OF exhibits. the merits Of the exhibits
to be measured by that standard and NOS
by competition between each other.
Selecting Judges.
In carrying out this plan, the COMMITTEES
corresponded with over l,400 societies and
technical organizations, with the view Of
securing their recommendations as to the
most qualified experts to be obtained for
judges, and for the further purpose Of se-
curing their ideas as to the formulated
plans for testing the various classes OF ex-

judges appointed. distributed through the
several departments. 1t is gratifying"
says the report that we are able to certi.
~ that not to exceed six cases of incom-
potency were developed among the judges
appointed, and only one case Of doubtful
integrity"
., Medals were awarded to 23.751 exhibits,
80 per cent of the whole number cata-
iogued, exclusive Of those from France and
Norway who withdrew their exhibits from
examination. This was a smaller percent
age OF exhibitions thus honored than the
records OF any previous worlds exposition
SHOW. over 2J0.O00 separate exhibits were
examined and reported upon, out of which
accrued the ultimate total of 3, 557 medals
awarded
As to The practical workings of the sys.
TEN The report states that IL worked out
70 a satisfactory and expeditions result
with less friction than has occurred at any
previous exposition" At the Paris expose
ton there were more than 500 appeals from
the awards of judges and GO of them were
sustained. At the Chicago exposition there
were 25.422 exhibitors, but only 259 conn
plants were submitted in any form against
the awards. and out of that number only
AZ cases ripened into appeals. OF these ap-
peals all have been adjusted excepting I'VE.
In each Of them the testimony has been
taken, the arguments submitted and the
five cases are in the hands of the court Of
appeals awaiting judgment.
The medals are all of bronze, designed
by Augustus st. Gaudens, and the accom-
panying diplomas were designed by VIII
II. Lowe. They are made under the au-
thority and direction of the Secretary Of
the Treasury. and the work OF Distribution
is progressing satisfactorily.

The recent action Of Secretary Herbert n
appointing a cadet to the Naval Academy
not recommended by q member OF Congress
has raised a question to the legality Of
such an appointment. Two Congressmen
who failed to take advantage In time OF the
appointments allotted TO their districts In
sist that the appointments which thereby
fell 10 the Secretary OF the Navy should be
confined to persons residing within the limits
of the district to which the appointments
originally belonged. The question Is an In
teresting one. and viii probably call for
congressional action.

The Secretary of the Treasury has agreed
to remit the duty on all the foreign goods
at the worlds fair destroyed at the recent
fire. but disclaims all liability in the mat
ter beyond this. The only recourse Of the
exhibitors for indemnity for the loss Of
their goods is by congressional enactment
Relief in this way was secured by the suf-
ferers from the fire at the New Orleans
cotton exposition. The government dis
claims liability for losses to goods in bond
ed warehouse.

The Speed of the Heightened Gun
boats.

Calculations have been made at the Navy
Department as to the effect Of the proposed
lengthening of the gunboats Machias and
Castine on the speed Of those vessels 1t
has been decided that the vessels must be
heightened in order to insure their sta
bilSty. The calculations show that the
change will make very little difference
in the matter Of speed. The horse power
now required to give eight knots speed per
hour would give the vessels 7.65 knots at
the increased length. At the horse power
now required to drive the vessels 14.5 knots
an hour the loss in speed at the increased
length would be one-fourth of a knot. The
plan proposed by the stability board is by
no means an experiment. 1t has been
tried before with success.

The proposal to make snip canal be-
.ween Bordeaux and Narbonue-,hat is to
say, from the Atlantic to the Mediterra
nean-has been SO frequently discussed that
definite statement as to its dimensions
and estimated cost Is of considerable inter-
est. These statements have been pub
lished 10y NJ Rene kerviller, an eminent
French engineer, who says that the canal
would be 320 miles in length from sea to
sea and woulG be from l44 to 2l5 feet broad,
with Il depth of from y feet to 'i3 feet, so ~
to admit the passage of the largest iron
clads,
There are To be sidingS Of three-quarteri
of mile long at intervals of every eight
miles. so as TO facilitate navigation and
avoid delay of traffic, while there are to be
- locks, each of which is to be about 650
feet long by 50 feet broad and with a fall OF
from 20 feet to 60 feet. The ships using the
canal are TO be lowed or to he drawn along
by fixed engines, and NJ. Rene Kerviller es-
Inmates that canal of this Kind would
cost E2I 100000 and that the interest on
the capital lying dormant while the canal
was being made would amount to $4,000
