WASHINGTON, DSc. 1.-SsCretsFy Of

the prominent feature about it is that no

have saved to the department By re-

To effect that change be recommends q

Quiet In Alabama.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, D4c, The state
OF Alabama now has two governors and
two separate sets Of state { fiji ,ers. Col
onel o 4tes and those claiming to be cleo
ted on his ticket preside at the state
house. Captain Kolb and his contin-
gent have not announced their official
headquarters.
The political situation in Alabama to
day has been a most exciting one. This
was the day set by law for the insugu.
ration Of q governor and other state
officers.
The returns Of the August election
has shown the election of the democratic
state ticket headed by William 9 Oates
by over $1,000 majority. The legisla.
ture in joint session had regularly
counted and announced the result. Cap.
tain Kolb, Oates opponent, the nominee
Of the Jsff-rsonisn democrats, republi-
cans and Populists, charged fraud and
claimed he had received q msj0rity Of
votes cast and was the riRhtful heir to
the governors Office. He determined,
therefore, to be sworn in and was.
At high noon, surrounded by mem
bers of the legislature and with the
usual pomp of military display, Colonel
Oates took the oath OF offi,e upon the
steps OF the state pltAl, standing on
the very spot on which Jefferson Davis
stood when he was sworn in as prtsi.

The mere presence OF troops on this
occasion is not an unusual occurrence.
There is one unusual feature in conneo-
tion with their presence, however. Each
Of these men, at the direct orders Of

Gates j ID lot bid was accepted prices ad-
vanced almost to their former figure.
This may have been due solely 10 nat
ural market influences. There is no
evidence that the syndicate bankers had
anything whatever to do with it. But
the circumstance is suspicious, and 1t
suggests that Me-. Stewart and his fel.
low bankers were planning ell the time
to make big profit out Of the govern
ment, while osteptatiously announcing
that they were pstrioticslly coming to
the aid of the national treasury.
It seems probable now that, If the ssc-
retsry OF the treasury had possessed the
power to issue low interest short term
bond, with authority which could mot be
questioned, he could have borrowed
money in Nsw York for 2 per cent He
certainly could have done it for 215 per
cent. The British 215 per cent. Consols
are selling for per cent premium. So
large an amount OF them is outstanding
that the available low interest funds in
England fnd ample chance for invest
ment. In this country such gilt'edgs
securities ara scarce and conse q lsntly
relatively more valuable. The sale Of
the government per cent. bonds was
hurt by the fact that the purchaser of
them on a per cent. basis is under the
ectssity Of setting aside each year q
proportion Of his interest as q sinkin &
fund to make up for the loss Of the
premium. H pays Sll7, and at the end
Of ten years he receives but 500 for q
800 bond. He must provide for the
shrinksge out of the annual 5 per cent.
interest which the government pays him.
This is a process not altogether Bgrse-
able to an investor, consequently it's ne
necessity takes something from the de-
STABILITY Of the bonds. Despite this,
however, it is evident that q good many
people want the new bonds and are will
ing to pay high prices for them.

Where's That Prosperity

New YORK, Dso. 1.-R G. DUN &
Co.'S Weekly Review OF Trade says:
"The complete success Of the govern
msnt loan and the replenishment OF the
gold reserve have not perceptibly BG-
tected business, nor prevented an .Rd-
vance Of foreign exchange near to the ex-
porting point.
"WheSt ls IL cents higher than weslsI
ago and Western receipts still exceed
last yssr's, amounting since July to
lob 100000 bushels, against 100,80O,000
bushels last year, while exports from all
ports have been about 2l,0O0 bushels
smaller. The smaller quantity received
last year paid more debts by about 8
million dollars than the larger quantity
this year, and wheat selling for the first
time bslew go cents, just after q harvest,
may naturally be held back for better
returns. Corn had advanced q fraction,
receipts being larger than a year ego,
and on the whole the outcome for farm
era has not 30 improved as to promise
larger buying by the West and South.

American Sugar Refining company, said
to-day: "Ths sugar business has been
bad for some months past. We have
been hoping against hope all along, and
tried to weather through the period Of
depression, trusting business might im.
prove and that We would aoon be able TO
run our works to their fullest capacity
but everything was against as.
"Ths reaction that followed the pGs-
ssge of the tariff bill brought about q
dull season, and the war smong the
wholesale grocers in several sections Of
the country still further tended to de-
morRlize trade. When to this was added
the excitement OF an election canvass
and the general report that congress
would pass q free sugar bill, making all
sugars free, you can readily see that
there wss enough cause to compel Us TO
shut down completely.
"But we ran our works up TO the pres.
emit time, with q reduced force in the
hope, Micswber like, that something
would turn up. Oar faith in the future
has failed US, and beginning to morrow,
we shall shut down oil our works In Bos'
ton, New York, Philadelphia and BAlt-
more.
ave cannot do anything else. We are
sorry for our men, and have been trying
to ward it of all along. But the truth is
we have been running our works at
loss for several months past. But it'8
time to call q halt nov. The last con-
gress is responsible for the present stu
alton and il they pass the free sugar bill
at Washington, ss it is reported they
will, they will kill the sugar industry
completely. Things could not be much
worse than they are now. There 10 very
little d If ,rencs between the prices Of
raw and refined sugar, and there Ia NO
reason or justice in continuing q busi.
ness at heavy loss.
"We must either have enough profit to
cover the bald expenses Of carrying on
sugar refining, or else 60 out OF the
business completely. We cannot COM
pete with the wages paid in Europe, and
our men could not begin to support
themselves and their families at such
figures. And yet we are asked to run
our establishments with only the mar
gin in rtfiaing that is to bs found be-
tween the cost Of raw and refined sugar,
which is now q triHs less than y cent
per pound.
"NOw, the only thing for uS to do Is to
shut down completely until there is q
market for our goods and until We can
see our way to pay expenses. And /
can see nothing cheering, or res suring,
in the outlook at the present moment"

whatever may come. There ia another
body CT men on the streets who make no
display Of force, but are easily reoog-
nizsd. They arc tall, gsunt country
men, with sullen faces and sttlred in
rough clothes and slouCh hats. They
came in town in small groups within the
past tWentY-four hours, by train, wagon
and mules. They don't appear meddle-
some, make no boasts or threats, but 20
about with ooWed air and gaze wrath
fully upon the militia. These are the
supporters Of Kolb.
Kolb was sworn in by James w. Pow
ell, q lstics Of the peace, the ceremony
occurring in the law Office OF Warren
Reese, and at the same time the oath
was administered to J. g. Fsnville ss
secretary OF state, W. T. Lynch as audi
tor, J. P. Oliver, superintendent Of sdu'
cation, and Warren r ,ess, jr., attorney
general.
AT II o'clock a message was received
at the ststehouss that Captain Kolb had
taken the gubernStorisl oath in down
town Cffi 70 and was coming to the state
house to make his speech. Governor
Jones had issued orders to give free aC-
cess to the ststehouse grounds as long
as those who enter behave in an orderly
manner.
Kolb and his cabinet then proceeded
to the statehouss for the purpose of
making q speech. He was followed BY
several hundred Of his sdherents.
In a few minutes Governor Jones sent
for Captain KoIb, who was escorted into
his presence by Lieutenant Irwin, Of
the regular army.
II understand, sir" said Governor
Jones, that you propose to make q
speech in these grounds, claiming to be
governor Of Alabama"
"That is my intention" answered
Kolb.
"Then l must say to you that the mo.
ment you attempt it, I will have you
arrested and carried off the grounds"
said the governor. The conversation
between the two was short. Kolb left
the governor and j1ined hi, friends on
the street.
A wagon stood near by and upon this
Captain Kolb mounted. He stated that
the proceedings would be opened with
prayer. A POpulist clergyman mounted
the wagon and at his motion the crowd
uncovered their heads. 1t was an i'm
pressiVe scene. Every man In the crowd
WAS a plain countrymRn with raw clothes
and high top boots. In simple English
the clergyman invoked the blessing of
God upon the assemblsge, "a plain peo-
pie, oh, God," he said, "who are here to
secure an honest government"
At its conclusion Captain Kolb made
q short temperate address. The only
bitterness in it was directed at G YER
nor Oates whom he termed a usurper.
He declared he had been legally elected
governor snd that he would use every
means to gain the position which he de.
clRred belongs to him. He cautioned the
people against violence and amid rous.

There is new rule in the navy depart
ment that is as picturesque as it is pa.
triotic. Whenever government vessel
on its way up or down the dirty Poto-
mac passes by Mount Vernon the bell on
the vessel tolls, and the sailors and Off
GERS form in line and doff their caps and
salute the home of Washington. No
matter what the crew are doing, all
work is stopped while the ceremony is
gone through. Sailors will stop in their
labor of sweeping off the deck, drop
their brooms and rush to get into line.
There has always been kind of desul-
tory practice of this kind, and the home of
the Father of His Country has generally
been honored in an informal way by gov
eminent vessels in passing, but now this
tribute of respect is compulsory, and the
vessels vie with each other in the prompt
ness with which this salute is performed.
