and after dolibsration the court decided
to allow the prisoners counsel. In most
cases Paul Neuman was named.
The following day Robert Wilcox, w.
@. Lane, James Lane, Samuel Nowlsin,
Carl Widemann, William Greig, Henry
Bertelman and Louis Marshall were ar
raigned on q charge of open rebellion.
Wilcox, Bsrtelmsn and Nowlein, the
three leaders. all pleaded guilty. The
others refused to plead ON advice OF
counsel, and plea OF not guilty was
entered against their names. Paul
Nsumann objected to the jurisdiction OF
this court, claiming that undsf the proc
lamation of martial law this general
authority of the courts oil the repu bile
created by the constitution continued,
and they had ths solo authority to try
persons accused OF offsnses such as OK.
presaed in the charges before the COM
mission.
The court overrulsd the objection and
the trial has since proceeded from day
to day. A great deal of important tss.
timony was secured from Nowlein and
Bertelman. who have turned state's
evidence to save their nccks.

MINISTER WILLIS ATTITUDE.

Since the arrival Of the Philadelp p hia,
United States Minister Willis has
assumed an oppressive attitude and
from trustworthy sonrcss 1t is learned
that he has made objections, both vsr-
bal and written, to the powers OF the
military court now sitting.
He seems to take the same views as
Paul Neumann, counsel for the prison
ers, that offsnses committed previous to
the date on which martial law was pro-
claimed should be tried before O civil
court and jury. The text OF his objec-
tion cannot be obtained at this time,
but it is understood to be of q nature to
than anything that has taken place
since the beginning OF the rebellion.
IL is understood that Willis has inter-
ested himself in the cases OF Louis Mar
shall and Thomas Walker, both OF
whom have claimed the protection OF
the United States. Marshall is charged
with open rebellion. Walker pleaded
guilty to treason.
Admiral Beardslee is q stranger here.
But little 10 known OF his standing to-
ward the government. In close govern
ment circles it is feared that he might
cooperate with Willis and land forces
to prevent the finding Of the court, when
it refers to American prisoners, from
being carried out.
Minister Willis was seen this morn
ing, but he declined to mako any state~
ment for publication. He would neither
deny nor affirm the fact that he has OBJ
jscted to the Jurisdiction Of the court.
President Dole wss seen previous to
the departure oil the stesmer. He
stated that he was not aware that any
written objection had bsen received
from the American minister. He adj
mitted that, in the course OF . conver-
sstion, Willis implied that no would OBJ

II wss generally supposed that Sew
ard purchased the arms and ammuni-
tion for the rebels during his recent
visit to San francisco. 1t was proved
in court that he hired native to re-
main on a small island in the west side
of Oahu to watch for q vessel which was
expected from the coast. The schooner
was a sealer named W. O. Wehlborn.

mond Head. Captain Davies. master OF
the steamer, admitted all this and said
he was approached first BY W. H. Rick
ard, who engaged him to intercept the
sealer and secure the arms. He was
promised sl0,000 for doing 30. He re-
ceived 500 OF amount mentioned.
John Cummings, formerly = cabinet
minister and now under arrest for con-
spiracy, stated that he was told by
Seward that he had received a letter
from tho queen. telling him to 60 to San
Francisco, where he would be furnished
funds by Rudolph Spreckels with which
to purchase arms. A friend OF Spreok-
els named Follis was slso implicated in
the transaction.

they were not aboard.

They Have a Very Interesting
Opening Session.
A HEARTY WELCOME GIVEN
Annual Address, Annual Essay and Historical
Paper on the Press of
Alabama
A HEARTY WELCOME GIVEN
Morning Session.

To the
Press of Alabama:
The doors of our city
Are ever open to you.
Enjoy your stay and call again.
The annual meeting of the Alabama
Press association was called to order
in the Commercial club rooms of this
city at II o'clock yesterday by its presi-
dent Robert Rawls editor of the Athens
Courier.
Rev. e. M. Glenn, editor of the Ala
hama Christian Advocate, was requested
to open the exercises with prayer. In
invoking the blessings of Deity upon the
members of the association and their
workings, the able divine most eloquently
appealed for harmony and a fraternal
feeling that would result in the better
ment of all mankind the result of
these deliberations. So impressive was
this prayer that throughout the entire
exercises of today the convocation has
been as much love feast and friendly
greeting among the fraternity as mat
ter of business.
President Rawls next introduced Pres
ident Rhodes of the Commercial cluba
who welcomed the press in, behalf of this
club in an appropriate address. In be-
half of the club Mr.. Rhodes called atten-
ton to the fact that sit is a type and
representative of the thrift and enter
prise Of the tireless and hopeful workers
in this marvellous mineral region, whose
wonders you have helped to herald to the
world"
Mayor VanHoose on behalf of the city,
welcomed the editors in a speech that
won the hearts and applause of the
molderS of public sentiment. He said
ne was glad that they met here in strict
ly q business meeting. That while they
may cross swords at home, that when
they come together for deliberation and
to further their profession and trade, let
these swords be sheathed and work be
the watchword that having lived in
Birmingham for so long, he could not
resist the impulse to say something in
her interest when the opportunity pre-
scented itself to speak to such a repre-
sentative body; that while not edi-
tor, he acknowledged the chivalric work
the press has done for Alabama. He ac-
knowledged the work they have done
even for the building up of this, the
greatest city of Alabama that 1.-THE doors
of the city are open; the hospitality of
the keys are yours-and if any blue-coat
shall demonstrate with you pull your
blue badge, and if this is not respected
let me KNOW"
Mr.. C. r. Bricken of the Luverne Dem
ocrat responded to Mayor VanIoose on
behalf of the press in very appropriate
speech. Mr.. Bricken owns one of the
most progressive weekly papers in Ala
bama, and his remarks, while necessarily

Butterine is much abused product
As a matter of fact it is pure, sweet,
wholesome, and infinitely preferable to
ordinary country butter. A special
correspondent of this paper recently
visited the factory owned and operated
by the Armour Packing Co., of Kansas
City, manufacturers of the widely ad-
vertised Silver Churn Butterine. A
Ave story building is perfectly fitted
for the scientific preparation of this
food product. Everything is spotlessly
clean; all appliances are the latest and
most improved, and every precaution is
taken to secure the production of an
absolutely pure and wholesome food.
All processes are under the direction of
a foreign chemist who has made the
skillful combination of pure sweet fass
the study of his life.
Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York
City, says: 1.-The product is palatable
and wholesome and / regard it as
most valuable article of food"
