THE LLOYDs DEFENDED.

CHARGES OF INCoMPETENCY AGAINST
 SAILORS REFUTED IN THE REICHsTAG.
 BERLIN, Feb. 15.-During the discussion in the reichstag yesterday on the vote for the maritime accidents department Dr. VonBoetticher, imperial secretary for the interior, declared that the North German Lloyds had experts at all their ports, whose duty it was to test ships, and if the vessels were in course of construction to see that the instructions in regard to safety were fully carried out. Moreover, he said, he had before him copies of the testimony given by rescued passengers and sailors of the Elbe, wheNin it was stated that neither the captain nor the crew of that ship were in any respect blamable for her loss.
 In regard to the statement made by Herr Rebel, that the bulkheads of the Elbs Were open, that gentleman was mistaken, for the doors were closed, as shown by the deposition of the sailor who announced the fact to the captain, but the collision ssmashed the bulkhead, which was the con- meeting wall between the engine room and the boiler room. As to the allegations that the crew had not been drilled in the han ding and lowering of boats, he did not be- lieve they were true, as, according to previous information obtained by him, the North German Lloyds ships had their crews practiced in boat drill during voyages.

LADIES', LYCEUM.

The ladies of Union Springs banded to- gether and formed the Ladies Lyceum. - Its object was to enliven and encourage the social and intellectual life of the town by bringing lecturers and concert companies to their midst, and otherwise keeping the town from stagnation in this respect. The effort has succeeded admirably. Other towns in the State organized similar asso- citations among the ladies, and they have worked together in bringing lecturers 10 the State. The plan is a good one. The ladies will find an ample field for the ex- ercse of their talents in cultivating the mental and asthetic side of human nature. If they will devote themselves to this field and leave man to provide bread and meat all will be well. A mans greatest need is for intellectual and esthetic qualifications. His desire for food and clothes is easily satisfied. His wants in this respect are few in the other, many.

CARD FROM E. E. CARLISLE.
 To the Age Herald
 Owing to the wholesale swinding to which the negroes are victims ask space in your columns to make an appeal to the white people of the south to help put it down. We are literally besieged with African and Mexican schemes and schemers whose business it is to unsettle the minds of the masses, make them discontent with their lot, and make false promises to them to better their condition for small sum oI money. The result is that thousands of our people in the south have abandoned home and all their possessions preparatory to going they know not where. Many are now homeless and penDiless, only to find themselves still in the United States wait ing for the ship to take them to Africa, the passage paid and the proceeds from the scanty possessions making corpulent the members of emigration societies. It is an injustice to our people to suffer such an imposition. The truth IS we can't allay this wrong without assistance from the whites. We can only talk and lament over this sad state of affairs, but to take action we must have help. Now, there is no one who understands our condition better than the southerner, and he can therefore best sympathize with us. We wish to convince our people that they cannot better their conditions under opportunities offered them by these schemers. Many have un- dertaken this and have succeeded to some extent, but we feel that to insure safety we must be entirely rid of this evil. It should not be allowed to pros- per. Just the other day four car loads of stock arrived here from Mississippi and Kansas sent by colored people to be sold by these emigration tricksters. In most cases it is the poorest of our people who are thus victimized, and since they are too weak to guard themselves against 1t, it is the duty of the stronger to protect them. It is the desire of every intelligent and race loving negro to see our people content, or at least to make the most of their oppor- tunities in this country. But so long as men are allowed to poison their minds and keep them in state of commoGion they can never be of use to themselves or the country. Now we ask that some steps be taken by those in authority to put down these societies. They are only existing for fraudulent purposes or as an easy way of getting money, not for the good they may do, for there IS Q good ill them. The con- dition the masses of our people are reduced to is shame enough on the American without allowing few men to make 1t worse, and we don't believe he will allow after his attention has been called to it. We have better opinion of him than that, and we wish to Keep it. So give us your assistance in this, for in helping us you will help yourselves. E. E. CARLISLE.

WASTING TIME
Was the Complaint of Q Member of Parliament--Rickar Death Sentence to Be In-
 vestigated.

LONDON, Feb. 15.-In the house of com mons today Sir Edward Gray, under for- eign secretary, said that any agreement with Belgium which gave to France or to any other power the right to preempt ter ritory in the Congo State without the con sent of the great powers was not valid. No such consent, Sir Edward added, had been given in connection with the agreement between. Belgium and France just pub lished, and the right of pre- -emption over the Congo State claimed by France had not been recognized.
 MT. Chamberlain moved as an anne ndment to the address that it Is contrary to public interest that the time of parliament be oc- cupied in the discussion of measures which, according to the statements of the ministers themselves, there Is no prospect of passing, while proposals involving great constitutional changes have been an- nounced upon which judgments should be taken without delay.
 Sir Thomas Roe asked the govern ment, i, in accordance with previous notice, what information they had received concerning the sentence of death which had been passed upon ". H. Richards, British subject, in Hawaii.
 Sir Edward Gray said that MT. Hayes, British commissioner at Hono1uiu, had asked the Hawaiian government to re- prieve Richards for 6 sufficient length of time 10 enable the commissioner to send the home government the records of Rick ards trial.
 The sentence imposed upon Richards had not yet been confirmed by the president of the Hawaiian republic, and Instructions had been forwarded by wire, as far as pos- sible, to Commissioner Hawes to ask for delay of the execution of the sentence. Mir. Hawes was also instructed that if Richards had been condemed to death for complicity only or for actual participation in the revolt against the Hawiian govern ment without having had a fair and open trial, with ample opportunity for defense, the evidence upon which his case was grounded was to be sent to the home gov ernment. Commissioner Hawes, he said, was also instructed to act in concert with the representa- of the United States at Honolulu, who had received instructions similar to those directed to himself.

BIRMINGHAM is much delighted over the announcement of the appointment of MT. Ross O. Smith as Railroad Commissioner. The act of Governor Oates is recognition of the right of this section of the State to a representative on the board, an evidence Of his just appreciation of the fitness of Mir. Smith for the responsible position, and a handsome compliment to the young man. hood of Alabama. The AGE HERALD has no opinion to express as to the action of the Senate in refusing to confirm the ap- pointment of Colonel Tunstall, but under stands that it is thought wise to give to the southern part of the State @ place on the board. In that event the office would probably be given again to Hon. Willis G. Clark, present incumbent, who has proven himself faithful and efficient incumbent, and man who enjoys the confidence and esteem of the people and of ell parties i'm terested.

THE MERCANTILE GIANT OF AMERICA
 Our representative recently visited the wholesale house of Marshall, Field & Co.,. in Chicago, and was much impressed with the immensity of the business. One is pre- pared to believe that the sales of this house during 1894 have reached over $35 ,000, ,000 after a visit to the various departments. It is a surprise to many old eastern houses to learn that this concern sends forth every week an average of nearly $700 1000 worth of merchandise. This requires an army of nearly 2000 men in the main wholesale building, which has thirty eight depart ments on eight foors-making a total of nearly twelve acres of floor space, and, Chicago-like, our western friends claim that 1t exceeds.in size and value of stock any other mercantile building in the world. In addition to the main building, in which the open stocks are kept, there are two buildings of nearly equal dimensions used for warehouses, one five-story and basement building, 180x2O0, that was formerly used as part of the old wholesale department, and another six-story and basement build ing, 80x159 feet. Marshall, Fistd & Co. have their own cloak factory in part of the old wholesale building, and also a shirt factory located at Fond du Lac, Wis. They also control the entire output of some leading western manufacturers. There is a spirit of enthusiasm among all hands, from the executive heads right down through the buyers and general salesmen, with their assistants, to the ushers and messengers; and even the rushing crowd of customers seems to par- take of it. The field chiefly covered by this vast business is the west to the Pa cific coast, and the south to the gulf. Truly our eastern wholesale houses have a noble competitor in this mercantile giant of the west.-New York Retailer and Job. Der, January 15.

HELP THE POOR.
United Charities Appeals to the People of Birmingham to Assist in
 the Good Work.

The good people of Birmingham are again appealed to in behalf of the poor and suffering citizens within her gates.
 There are now known to be seventy fam lilies in destitute circumstances on the list of the United Charities and more are daily being added. These people are absolutely impoverished and with no means of sup port, and the terrible hard weather now at hand has virtually cut off any possible op- portunity for any of them to secure en- p1oyment.
 The Charities has been taking care Of them and now the worthy president of that doubly worthy organization informs tho AGE HERALD that the funds with which they have been carrying on this work are all but exhausted. The canvassing com- mittee has been greatly retarded in their work and 1t now becomes necessary for an appeal to the citizens.
 Those who desire rendering assistance in this worthy cause, be it ever so little, can send same to the office of the United Char ities, in the News building, Twenty first street, between Second and Third avenues.

CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION.

CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION.
 An interesting decision has just been rendered in the United States District Court in New Orleans.
 Several days ago the captain of British steamship ordered his crew to load the ves- sel. This order was given on account of a strike among the wharf hands and the con sequent scarcity of labor. The chief of police arrested the crew of the British steamship for violation of a law of Louis jana. This law set forth that the crew of 8 vessel could not assist in loading the ves- sel. The law was evidently passed for the benefit of the ,stevedores. The United States judge decided that this law violated the Federal constitution, which grants to Congress tue sole right to regulate con- merce with foreign nations. Congress was given exclusive jurisdiction in the regula- tion of commerce. One State cannot stop the transportation of freight from another State through it's borders. The court in. stanced the case of a man selling imported goods in the original package contrary to a State law, the Supreme Court having held that the levy of license by the State was contrary to the constitution. The Mary land ship tax case, wherein the State of Maryland levied wharf fee on vessels built in other States at higher rate than on Maryland built ships, had been de- clared unconstitutional.
 Thus it appears that State cannot rega- late foreign or interstate commerce. The State of Alabama several years ago thought it had struck a bonanza by levying tax on drummers, but the courts decided that 1t was tax on interstate commerce, and now the drummers come and go without paying tribute to the State. The law that only the Federal government can regulate commerce is becoming more and more clearly defined.

B. B. CoMER, w. J. MILNER, W. c. ESTES, M. V. JOSEPH, E. D. NABERS,

One member of the club sarcastically rec ferred to that portion about the weather as being out of order at the present time, whereupon Mai. w. J. Miner said that withalS Birmingham was especially fa- having from 10 to 12 inches of snow Bir- mingham has only about 4. He remem- bered that in 1855, when Birmingham had inches of snow, the deepest ever known here, he made a trip to Rome, Ga., and found there 27 inches. That settled the weather question.
 MT. M. V. Joseph, with reference to the mill, said that the committee wanted it distinctly understood that the mill was to be one built by Birmingham people, and that it would be the aim of the committee to protect each and every stockholder with this in view.
