SPEAKER CRISP
The Guest of Speaker GuIIy-He Contrasts British and American Parliamentary
 Methods to Our Credit

London, Aug. 12.-The Hon. Charles F. Crisp, ex-speaker of the American house of representatives; the Hon. Edwin Uhl, American assistant secretary of state, and the Hon. Henry Cabel Lodge, sena- tor from Massachusetts, were the guests this evening at an entertainment given by Speaker Gully at his residence in Westminster palace. They received marked attention from Mr. Balfour and MT. Chamberlain and other prominent men, who were present
 MT. Crisp informed the representative of the United Press that he had been struck by the numerous ceremonies in the procedure of the house of commons, which to him appeared to be useless. He said he noticed especially that no actual vote was taken in the election of the speaker. He understood, of course, that the election was virtually by unani- nous consent but in the United States the question is always stated to the house so that an opportunity may be made for disserters to express their views. It seemed remarkable that so great majority as the government had should choose member of the minority for their presiding officer. Such a course would never do under the Ameri- can constitution, where the speaker must be partisan, as he is clothed with great power in the appointment of committees, etc.
 Continuing MT. Crisp said that having the speaker reside in the parliament house was useful here, but it was repug- nant to the American system. There were not one-third enough seats in the house of commons for the members. The seats and desks in the American house were better arranged.
 MT. Crisp added that there was good press gallery here, but he did not favor the ladies being placed in cage behind the speakers desk.
 Messrs. Lodge and Uhl agreed with the remarks of MT. Crisp.
 MT. Crisp will go to Paris tomorrow. He will return next week and watch parliament when it is actually legislat- i,oo

Nicholson Says His Arrest Is Due to
 Political Enmity.
 Montgomery Aug. 12.-Alexis M. Mich olson, an ex-member of the Florida legis- lature and an attorney-at-law in Jack sonville, was arrested here today in com pliance with telegram from Sheriff Bowden at Jacksonville, charging him with forging the name of Col. Frank Pope, in that city, for $75.
 Nicholson came here last week and was seeking a position with the Abstract company, whose president had taken him into his home. There he has lived since his arrival.
 He claims that the prosecution against him was brought about through political enemies and misrepresentation of facts on the part of Colonel Pope. His tale is plausible.
 Nicholson may sue for writ of habeas corpus tomorrow morning.
 Sheriff Bowden is on his way here for him, however, and probably with requisi- tion papers Nicholson mulcted no one in Montgomery but pawned valise full of new clothes for enough money to send for his wife. to whom he afterwards tel egraphed not to come.

No Blood Was Smiled.

"It happened in Leadville just about the time that tho camp was at its best, which means when every man that had sunk shaft was prospective millionaire and gambling was a legitimate business, !" said Peyton R. Hull.
 "On New Years day big crowd was assembled in popular saloon and gam bling establishment known as the Board of Trade which was located on Harrison ave nue, tho principal street in the town. Tho bar was in the front room and the faro tables in the back one.
 Suddenly there was loud smack, as if some one had struck another terrific blow in tho face, and in an instant every thing was in confusion. Two men had engaged in an alteration ,and both were reaching for their pistols. It was the sig nal for everybody else to get out of the way of flying lead, and the way the boys slid under the tables, myself among the number, to get out of harms way was q sight. In two seconds not a man in the crowd but the two principals was on his feet. Every one was hugging the floor, and hugging it hard, with his stomach.
 .'Then there was an ominous pause. Every instant we expected to hear the rat tic. of small artillery and two men drop ping on the floor, spending their lifeblood But there was no sound. When we mus tered courage enough to look up those two men were standing face to face in the mid de of the floor, each holding an enormous weapon in his right hand pointed at the others face. When wo looked again, we saw that we had been rudely imposed upon.
 "The weapons Were two big bologna sausages and the whole encounter had been purposely arranged between the two actors for 0 hugo joke on the rest of the boys.
 "It was tho cheapest crowd you ever saw that crept out from under. the tables. Drinks were free for tho rest of the day" |" Washington Post.

THAT PIPE CONTRACT.
The Largest Ever Secured by an American
 Pipe Manufacturing Company

Anniston Hot Blast.
 Manager Dimmick of the Anniston Pipe and Foundry company has received in- formation that his company has been awarded the contract to furnish the pipe for the water works system of Tokio, Japan. To secure the order the company had to bid against the whole civilized world.
 The amount of pipe to be furnished is about 30,000 tons, and, placing the esti- mate at the lowest possible figure, will amount to s50O000 This contract is the largest ever secured by a single Ameri- can company, and that it was secured by Anniston speaks well for the south, par ticularly Alabama.
 A few years ago the same company made the pipe for a system of water works in the city of Jerusalem. The truth is, there is not another place on earth where so fine grade of pipe can be made as right here in the Model City.
 This large order will give lucrative and steady employment to hundreds of work men for long time.
 The following comment is taken from the Manufacturers Record of Baltimore. This is. without doubt the largest iron contract ever made by an American con- cern for foreign shipment Thirty thou sand tons of iron pipe against the world s
 
 may well boast. The south now takes the lead in driving for foreign trade, and the many predictions of the Manufa cturers' Record made years ago that southern iron would enter the markets of the world in competition with English iron, though ridculcd tfen, are being fulfilled now
 Photographic reports were sent out a week ago from Washing ton that Annis- ton had sec,.;ed the contract, but. at that time Manager Dimmck had not been ad- vised of the acceptance of his company!s bid. and for that reason the Hot Blast did not mention It.
 On Saturday afternoon Mir. Milton A Smith received tic following telegraphio inquiry from Secretary J. Sterling Nor ton of Washington, D. C.:
 Please ascertain whether a contract to furnish water pipes for the city of To- kio, Japan, was secured by an establish ment of your town"
 When intc,rogated in regard to the matter, Mir Dimmick gave answer as stated above
