GOVERNOR OATES
Appoints State Committee for the Mexican

Appoints State Committee for the Mexican
 International Exposition.
 Governor Oates, at the earnest solici- tation of the representatives of the Mexi- can government, has appointed the fol- lowing well known and experienced busi- ness men of the state of Alabama to act as a. state committee for the Mexican Interna tional exposition, which is to open in the City of Mexico on or about the 18th of. September 1896: Hon. H. D. Lane, chairman, Athens; Judge William Rich ardson, Huntsville; Maj. r. Y. Anderson, Birmingham; Capt. George F. Ely, Mont gomery: Hon. J. Craigh Smith, Mont gomery; MT. Henry Fonde, Mobile.
 The duty imposed upon these gentle men will be making propaganda for the exposition among the manufacturers, as it will be the means of opening up an ex- tensve market, which has been over looked by the export trade of the United States.
 After noticing the forward movement of the Mexican nation, it can be readily understood that the needs of the people are increasing proportionately. and that a market of enormous value is being opened up to the world.
 The object of the exposition Is to bring about a closer relation between the sister republics by making this one of the most extensive expositions ever held.

Will Oppose ike Request.

London, Nov. 22-The Standard will tomorrow publish dispatch from Con- stantinople saying: The great council which assembled last night. and which was still sitting at the time the dispatch was sent is considering the question of additional gunboats to the Bosphorous, All the ministers and high civil, militia and naval officials were sharing in the discussion, as it is felt to be the issue of the greatest importance.
 The treaty of Paris rendered 1t diff cult for the sultan to refuse the fiImans that had been asked. If he should refuse It would possibly lead to the powers re- questing that they be allowed to have three or four vessels each at Constan- tinople instead of two. Pesimists predict stubborn resistance a t the palace to the request of the powers, and possibly a rising should the boats appear. The writer of the dispatch thinks the palace will yield.
