THE DIRECToRS' MEETING


 At the meeting of the board of directors held yesterday afternoon in the Commer- cial club rooms the question of bui ding cotton mill was discussed very thoroughly and met with the hearty approval of all. The directors decided that Birmingham ought 10 have cotton mill, and that the best thing was for Birming ham men to build and operate 1t.
 Mir. U. B. Conner agreed to start the list of subscriptions by which the mill is to be built with liberal sum, and several other prominent business men sig nified their de- eire to follow up the lead. The matter will be brought up again next Friday at the di- rectors' meeting, when the necessary sub scriptions will have been raised.

 The resoiut.o., met the hearty approval of all and was carried unanimously.
 The question of unjust insurance rates was then brought before the board of d. rectors. Several members talked upon the subject of these rates and then wound up by adopting the following resolution, pre- sented by MT. Il. H. Sinnige:
 Whereas, There is feeling among the business men and property owners of Ala bama that the rates charged by the South eastern Tariff association are arbitrary, and in many cases the contracts of insur- ance are unjust; therefore be it
 Resolved, That the committee on legisia- tion of this club be and are hereby in. structed to investigate this question and report their views, in the shape of remedial legislation required, to the directors of this club at meeting 10 be held prior to the re- assembling of the legislature, such sugges- tions to be acted on by the directors us the matter may seem to warrant.

THE CASE OF WALLER.
Our Government VIII Not Get All the
Facts for n Month.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The state depart
ment has been advised that the record in
the Waller court martial, for which the
French authorities found 10 necessary to
send to Madagascar, is expected to reach
Alden, on the Red sea, about the 18th inst
After Its arrival there some time will be
required for its transmittal to Paris, and
still more before it can reach Washington,
II 1t is decided to have 1t examined here, SO
that 1t is expected to be at least q month
before the department can be in full pos
session Of all the fncts in the case.
In all probability no further step will bo
taken by the department in this matter
until this examination shall bo made.
There is growing feeling in the depart
ment that France has purpesely sought
delay In producing this record in the hopo
of causing the United States to make o
peremptory and unconditional demand for
Walters release. 1t Is believed that II
made this demand would be granted, and
that II granted Waller would be deprived
Of all chance of securing an indemnity and
the restoration of his land concession.
Without an examination of the record,
which could not be demanded after his re-
lease, 1t would be impossible to show that
Waller had been unjustly deprived Of his
property The department is using every
effort to avoid falling into this trap, while
at the same time 1t is determined to pro-
tect Waller in all his interests. The de-
partment Is understood to be in receipt Of
the full statement Of the case as supplied
by the commander of the Castine. 1t is
believed that the irritation of the French
authorities Mt Tamative was really aroused
by his investigation into this case rather
than by his failure to salute the French
