LAPS WANT MONEY.
Will Negotiate a Loan of Fifty Million. China Praises English
 Officers.

LONDON, Aug. H.-The Shanghai cor respondent of the Central News says that by special decree the Japanese imperial govern ment has auth orized loan of S50,- 0O0, ,0C0.
 The Japanese government has promised Admiral Fremantle, who commanded the British squadron in Asiatic waters, to give forty-eight hours' notice in case the Jap anese fleet bombards Wei- Hai- Wei or Chee- Foo.
 The eight vessels that passed Chee- Foo westward bound on August IA were the Chinese fleet which was fleeing from the Chinese cruisers. The fleet went to Lui- King-Tao, northwest of Chee- Foo, where it has been left undisturbed by the Japa- nese.
 The finding of the court of official inves- tigation at Shanghai of the sinking of the Row Shing is that the steamer Row Shing was sunk on July 25 by Japanese naval vessel, and that Captain Galswortby and the other officers of the Row Shing showed great cooluess and judgment under the trying conditions of the conflict. The court added that the Row Shing's English officers used all means in their power to avert the catastrophe, and deserved high praise for their efforts.
 Torpedoes will be laid at the entrance of Tokio and Nagasaki harbors early in next week.

MOVABLE WOMAN DEAD.

ATHENS, Aug. 17.-[Spscial Corre- spondence. Mrs. Maria DonnelI, relict of the late l. W. s. Donnell, and daughter of the late John N. 5. Jones, died at her resi- dence, Druids Grove, in south Limestone county, Wednesday, the 18th instant, at noon, where she was born and married. Too much cannot be said in praise of Mrs. Donnell. She was the personification of all the noble traits of character that belong to true womanhood. She was raised in the lap Of luxury in the prosperous days of north Alabama by one oi the wealthiest families in the state, and had all of the ad- vantages that fortune could bestow to grat- fly her every wish, but she remained the plain, modest, loving character that she was during her girlhood days, and when she married, at an early age, and during the life of her noble husband and since his death, her true worth was developed. The war bereit her of her property, and soon thereafter her husbard died, leaving her with large family, but like stars that ''shine most brightly in darkest winter nights," this good woman was luminary to her family and friends until death over shadowed her life, and now she is one of heavens most brilliant lights, and has left memory as pure and bright as was her childhood days. Her funeral services will take place today in the Cumberland Pres byterian church in Athens and her remains placed at rest in the new cemetery by the side of her husband.

TODAYS PRIMARIES
To Be Held Throughout the State to Elect Delegates to the Con-
 gressonal Conventions.

Primaries or beat meetings will be held in every precinct in Alabama today to se- lect delegates to the different county con- ventions, which will in turn select dele gates to the different congressional conventions. The county conventions will be held Saturday, August 20, and the con gressionaI conventions September 4.
 In this (the Ninth) district there are only two candidates--the present incumbent, Hon. Lewis w. Turpin of Hale county, and Mr. Oscar w. Underwood of Birming- ham.
 The Ninth district is composed of five counties, with representation as follows:
 Bibb 5, Blount 2, Hale g, Jefferson 30, Perry 10. Total, 61.
 In Jefferson county primaries will be held, but there is hardly any doubt of the county sending up solid Underwood dele gation, although MT. Turpin's friends are making strong fight in Bessemer and one or two other beats. In Birmingham they are also trying to secure part of the delegation, but their strength is not suff- cent to defeat the Underwood delegates in any of the wards.
 The county convention will meet in Bir- mingham at noon, August 25.

NAMES THE NEXT GOVERNOR OF THE LONE
 STAR STATE.
 DALLAS, Tex, Aug. 17.-The democratic convention has been hammering along all day, completing the ticket for state off cers. The following are the nominees, and will be the next officers, for they will carry the state by 151, 1000 majority:
 Governor, Charles A. Culbersou; lieu tenant governor, George T. Jester; attor- ney- general, M. M. Crane; commissioner of the land office, A. J. Baker; comptroller, R. w. Findley treasurer, W. E. Wor- tham; superintendent of public instruc- tIons, J. M. Carlisle; chief justice of the supreme court, R. T Gaines.
 Ihe convention adjourned this afternoon sine die and the city tonight is well empty of the vast conconrse attending the larg- est political convention that ever met in Texas. The ticket is an exceptionally strong one intellectually. c. A. Culber- son, the standard bearer for governor, is a young man of 35, finished scholor in law and literature and fluent and eloquent speaker. He was the choice Of the young men of the state and it's progressive ele- ments. His defeat for governor is re- garded as closing finally the long political career of John H. Reagan, who is now 76 years old. He walks from the stage of &C., tion as one who has filled the full measure of statesman to his state and to his coun- trxy

SEALE FITTINGS.

STALE, Aug. 16.-[Special correspond ence. IA Russell county man brings in the second bale of cotton of the new crop which has been produced in Alabama this year. Mir. w. 0. Perry, d prosperous and intelligent farmer living few miles from Scale, brought in on Wednesday big bale of the new crop, which was skipped to Co lumbus Thursday.
 Scale has new gin and grist mill now in operation. Messrs. Holland & Strong have completed the building, and this new enterprise is now assured.
 In spite of all the mournful prophecies concerning the certain shortness of this year's cotton crop, the drought, the wet spell, the cool nights and everything else bad it now turns out that there is not much prospect of a shortage, for the tough little plant has survived all unfavorable seasons and will few monthg hence turn out the expected s ,0OO, ,0O0 bales.
 Messrs. Holland & Strong ginned out MT. Perry's new bale yesterday.
 The political sea is quiet here now since the election. Col. George P. Harrison of Lee will have at least one opponent from Russell county in his race for congressional honors. That is certain. Russell did not poll very heavy vote in the recent elec-

 PITTSBURG.
 PiTTsBuRa, Pa., Aug. F.-The settle- ment of the tariff has given an immediate impetus to the development of the block plate and tin plate industry. Plans that have been held in abeyance for months are now being put into effect, and considerable eagerness is being displayed to invest money in this direction.
 B. Goldsmith. tin importer of New York and Portland, is in Pittsburg, and proposes to invest $200, ,0OO in the business in this vicinity. The plans for MT. Gold smiths plant call for four mills, with ca pacity of twenty tons per day.
 Norton Bros. tin plate manufacturers of Chicago, are said to be neg otiating for Che purchase of Oliver's Fifteenth street mills, the intention being to convert the plant into block plate and tin plate works.
 It is also reported that the firm of McIn- tosh, Hemphill & Co. contemplate enter ing into the manufacture of tin plate.

Walker county should be proud of her efficient county snpsri rintendent of education. This extraordinary attendance is due to his faith fnl work and strong influence.

READY TO GO HOME. Murphy's Resolution as to Further Tariff Legislation Will Pass. THE CIVIL APPROPRIATIONS To Be Signed Today-River and Harbors Is Now PraC-
 ticaliy a Law.
THE CIVIL APPROPRIATIONS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-The sundry civil appropriation bill was sent to Gray Gables today for the signature of the pres ident. It was signed by the vice. president and Speaker Crisp this morning. It is necessary that it receive the approval of Mir. Cleveland by next Monday morning, as the joint resolution of congress extend' ing the current appropriations will termi- nate then, and all work depending upon this bill would then have to cease. 1t is expected that the president will sign the bill tomorrow, and that the messen ger will return with it by Monday morning.
 The general deficiency appropriation bill, ', which passed the senate today, was the last of the appropriation bills to receive final action by congress.
 The river and harbor appropriation bill is practically law, inasmuch as it cannot be returned to the house in which it orig mated with a veto within the requisite ten days, which expire tomorrow, as the house of representatives has adjourned till Mon- day.
 Senator Murphy of New York offered a resolution providing that there shall be no more tariff legislation this session. It went over until tomorrow.
 The republicans in conference this after noon decided to indorse MT. Murphy 8 resolution if he modified it. This he has agreed to do, and the probability is that vote will be taken tomorrow on the resolu- tion declaring 1t impracticable to have any more tariff legislation at this session of congress. It will carry by good majority {, aud as Mir. Brice puts it, this will be ano- tice to the whole world, including the house of representatives, that the senate IS ready to go home and will do no more work.
