E1MOST CORDIAL GREETING
Accorded Ex-Queen Idliuoka1ani by Pres ident Cleveland-Eer Future Not
 Given Out.

Washington, Jan. 25.--Ex-Queen Liluo- kalani paid a personal visit to President Cleveland today. It was entirely inform al, and was so designated in the note sent by the deposed monarch to the President. requesting the privilege of calling and the answer of the latter granting it. Jo- seph Helelule, the agent and secretary of LiEiuokalani, and J. N. Palmer, of Boston, the American friend who accom- panied her to Washington, went to the White House this morning with an auto- graph note from the ex-queen addressed to the President. She asked merely that he receive her informally in a personal capacity, passing . the request on the ground that it was custom in her coun- try for the head of the government to re- osive foreign visitors of distinction. Shortly afternoon the President sent a note to Mir Helelu1e, appointing o'clock as the hour at which he would be pleased to have her call. ~f9
 At the appointed time Liliuokalani, Miss Kia Mahaolelena, her companion in wait ing; MT. Helelule and Mr. Palmer drove up to the White House in a carriage and were immediately shown to the blue room. The greeting between the Presi- dent and the former queen was extremely cordial.
 The call lasted about fifteen minutes, and after making their adieus to the President, Liliuokalani and her attend ants went out into the frozen atmosphere again and entered the carriage. They were driven immediately to the Shore ham, where the party is stopping.
 "The queen was received delightfully."-" said MT. Palmer. "Her reception could not have been pleasanter. and the Presi- dent showed himself to be a most agree able and kindly gentleman"
 MT. Palmer said that no plans had been made for Liliuokalani's future move ments. He did not know how long she would remain in Washington.
 This Is the second time Liliuokalani has seen President Cleveland. Ten years ago she accompanied the then queen, Kapio- lani, her sister-in-law, and the consort of King Kalakaua on a visit to the United States. They were received officially by MT. Cleveland, then serving his first term, and were shown many official cour- tesieS while here.

ouR MN1Na INFEREsTs.

The State Herald publishes this morn ing thereport Of the house committee ap- pointedto visit the mining districts of the state during tho recess for the purpose of Investigating the condition of the mines and the miners. The committee was very diligent in its work and for two solid weeks worked necessarily, visiting score or more of the largest mines in the state, and the report can but be satis- factory to all concerned. The commit tee was composed of men we'll posted in the mining industries and thoroughly conversant in mining. and the report can but be considered as not only authentic, but embodying facts as they exist The report shows the mining conditions in the state to be in the most satisfactory shape Practically all of them are in operation and the relation of the operators and operatives are represented to be most friendly, condition indeed that can but be appreciated
 The committees report is unique and original It breaks away from the rather rusty old legislative moorings and in- iects some spice and an abundance of interesting information into it's provisions.
 It Is a news report. Just what should have been, and the fine Italian hand of Bob McDavid, the secretary of the com mittee, is recognizable The report is splendid advertisement for the mineral district of Alabama and the statement made in 1t is correct, a feature that should not be overlooked. Our coal de- posits are not overestimated. for no one questions the fact that this is the richest district in the south, While the coal output is slightly reduced now from what it was year or two ago, the fact that cheap coal has injured our infant mines in much less proportion than it has those of other states should be consoling.
 The mining bill which is also pub lished, appears to be equitable. The operators will, perhaps. not be entirssy satisfied with all its provisions, nor will the miners, but neither, 1t is believed, will make serious complaint to it. The State Herald comments its careful perusal.

woLsE1EY's CASE ELsEwHETtE

Under the above caption the Pensacola News, of Saturday, says:
 The State Herald, of Birmingham, whence come the pig iron and coke to be shipped from Pensacola, is highly in- dignant at the treatment which the Brit iSh ship Lord WolSeley met with at the hands of the local health authorities. It concludes a long editorial denunciatory thereof in these words: "It will be re- ported throughout the world how this ship, chartered to load cargo of Birm- ingham pig iron and coke for Yokohama, Japan, was thus maltreated, and we venture the prediction that Pensacola will for years to come be reminded of this act. It is not much to be wondered at that, after spending hundreds of thous- ands of dollars in terminal wharves, etc., corporations should become aggressive towards the public, after suffering from such unreasonable and unjust acts. To Mobile. we say, pursue the same reasona- ble course as in the past, and enhance your reputation as the best gulf sea- port" Pensacola will owe it's present board of health more for a commercial setback than it may ever hope to re- pay
 Not only the State Herald, but other papers have been totally disgusted with the action of the Pensacola board of health. The business world takes no notice of-the petty matters wherein the , skin" game may be practiced for per- -sonal benefit, and ofttimes city is made to suffer for the unscrupulousness of of ficials whose eagerness to bleed the pub lie under cover is not sufficiently plain to be understood.

lelo-drama of the highest order.

melo-drama of the highest order. It tells beautiful story, which is rendered interesting, and naturally, by the ar engagement of it's powerful scenes and by the excellent language in which 1t is told, full of pathos and feeling, it never grows tiresome and impresses the audience more and more as the play progresses. Oliver Byron, as Vivian Ransome, Is part well suited to him, and Kate Byron has been highly commended for her rol- licking impersonat ton of Jane Judkins, the Irish girl. Fred Warren is immense ly funny in Alphonzo Smith; R. F. Rus sell. as Noel Norman: Miss Gertrude Dion McGill, as Alice, and strong company. A feature of the play will be the great fire scene. The piece Is well mounted by new and beautiful scenery. It will be seen at O'Brien's tomorrow night.

THEIEG1sLATuRE.

The Ala ban1a legislature is agafns in session. It holds about twenty-five days, and then AlabamaAs laws will rest, for two years. H N-A
 There are three questions that should be settled by the present legislature. They are questions that have been thor oughly agitated by the people and the press.
 The first. and most important is the school question. Education means the advancement of civilization and Ala bama's public school system is very infer for. It falls behind all the other states. Without exaggeration her public school system can be called a farce, and it should be alarming. when the people realize the true situation. There Is re- formation needed in this respect, and needed bad. -.t $,
 Next comes the. convict question, and a constitutional. convention, which are very important questions and should be Advocate. ,4, - <

Ivy street today and stole a ham. The servants pursued and caught him. Ter rell went back to the house quietly. Miss Wilkinson met him and covered him with a pistol. Her butler also covered him with pistol. Terrell suddenly sprang at the woman, seized the pistol which she held, and wrenched 1t from her. The butler then tried to take 1t away from Terrell, but the latter disarmed the but Ter. Then he shot at Miss Wilkinson and her servant, and walked off Ivy came up on horseback and gave chase. Ter rell being pressed hard, fired at the po- Hceman. The latter returned the fire. Both missed. This was kept up until Terrell mounted a fence and took delib- crate aim at Ivy. They fired at the same time Ivy's horse was restless and the rider escaped, but his bullet struck the negro in the head and dropped him to theI ground.

SIX HUNDRED MEN
Thrown Out of Employment by the Clos

Thrown Out of Employment by the Clos
 ing Down of a Mill.
 Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 25.--Six hundred men were thrown out of work today at the Bay View works of the Illinois Steel company by the closing down of the top and bottom mill, the fish-plate mill and the old and new plate mill. No reason is given by the Milwaukee officials of the company for the closing down of these mills and all inquiries in regard to the matter are referred to the Chicago offices of the company.
 The action of the company in closing down these establishments affects not on- ly the non-union men employed there, but also a large number of the members of the Amalgamated Associa tion of Iron and Steel workers. and some of the latter look upon the matter as an attempt to force them to make a voluntary offer to submit to the resembling of their present contract with the company. which will not expire until July, In order, to assure themselves of re-em ployment

The president of'the senate has too lit- tie power. the speaker of the house too much. The speaker has more power in many respects than the president of the United States. Those who go to Wash ington in the interest of certain legisla- ton do not appeal to the members of the house but to the speaker. Hence we see Gen. Lee and Fred Grant appealing to Speaker Reed to allow a bill making a national park at Vicksburg to become a law. In the appointment of committees the speaker possesses a great power. He can shape legislation at will The senate appoints it's committees, and some day the house will do likewise. The speaker can stop bill from coming up for con siderasion. Hence every member of the house must fawn upon the autocrat to get his goodwill. Last week the rules were suspended for an hour and each member was allowed to present the bill in which he was most interested. There was such g rush, such bedIam, that the bars will not be let down again. Per haps some day man will be elected speaker who Is more patriot than par tlsan. He will surrender his power. es- pecally in the appointment of commit tees. and relegate 1t to the house, where # belongs.

The rivers and harbors committee of congress is in New Orleans, and will visit Mobile, and will pass through Birming- ham on their way to Chattanooga. The Commercial club has taken steps to pre- vail on the committee to stop off a short time in this city and allow our citi- zens to meet them. While we have no rivers and harbors. we have mines and furnaces and many other objects of in- terest to interest them. After seeing our resources they can act intelligently when a measure affecting our interests comes before congress.

There is not the consideration shown woman in Washington that we find in Alabama. A woman stood the examina- ton for place in the war department and succeeded over the male applicants, hut was refused the place because she was a woman. By the way, only fhe war department is bold enough to treat a woman that way. Queen Lii is also sighted. On her arrival Grover took the first train and went duck hunting. While this happening in the national capital the Alabama capital. the legislature, ac- cords woman the privilege of running for county superintendent of education in certain counties.

UNIFORM TEXT BOOKS.

The bill now pending before the leg islature to provide a uniform standard of text books feff-the public schools Of Alabama Is attracting considerable at tention. It's importance demands that it be given earnest consideration. As 1t is now patrons of the various schools are made to pay out annually large sums of money for books to be laid aside when the new. teacher comes along the next year. We are aware that there are some disadvantages in the method of prescribing a uniform system, but surely there --isereofa. for great improvement somewhere --Randolph Leader. ,KEi4.
