ENGLAND WILL NEVER CONSENT

Every man of common sense, who
is at all acquainted with the English
character. and understands how that
nation has grown rich off the rest OF
the world, since the money of the
world was put under her control by
the decentralization of silver in the
United States twenty-four years ago,
every man, we say, who knew these
things. knew that it would be as easy
to coax the devil out of Hades as to
prevail upon English financiers to
Join in the movement for the re-estab-
lishment of the double standard among
the worlds commercial nations.
The tentative proposition of the Gov
ernor of the Bank of England for that
institution to carry out what is per-
Missile in it's charter-the holding in
silver of one-fifth Of the bullion held
against its note issue-raised storm
of protest in London journalistic cir

low fever is rapidly subsiding. The
disease is said to be of a very mild
type and that many cases Of supposed
yellow fever have turned out to be
simple malaria. Guarantees are being

Newspaper Men Cordially Greeted by the
President-Chnamen Also Received.
Washington, March 23.-President Nc
Kinley informally received the body of
Washington correspondents and local
newspaper men i'm the east room this
afternoon. More than 100 members Of
the press attended, and those who had
known Mr.. Mckinley here during his
congressional career renewed Lheir ac
quaintance. The PRESIDENTS memory for
names and faces was tested to the ut-
most, but he proved that his reputation
in that regard had not been exaggerated.
The president also received the ten
members of the See Yups, who came from
San Francisco to present their grievances
to Yang Yu Chinese minister. That they
were thoroughly conversant with demo-
era tic ideas was shown by their manner
of shaking hands with the president, a
decided contrast to the PROSTATE atti-
tude in which they lay for two hours yes
terday in the house of Yang Yu.

And He Is Advised to Take Rest-Clearance
Papers Granted the Bermuda-keWs-
paper Men at White House.

Washington, March 23.-President Nc
Kinley is showing the effect of the press
ure upon him for office. He gives 20 each
visitor a courteous hearing, but the tax
on his vitality is very severe. The office
seekers are at the White House when the
doors ate opened in the morning, and they
remain in evidence until the president is
compelled through sher fatigue to seek
the seclusion of his private apartments
The warm weather of the past few days
has added to the discomfort, and it has
been suggested that he spend an occa-
sonal day in rest at the ssashore or in
the country near the city. The president
is SO conscientious, however, that he in
sists upon staying at his desk as long as
his strength will permit His friends be-
lieve hat if he does not take brief out
ing he will break down from oyerwork
They maintain that he has been under
terrific strain since his nomination last
June, and that it is not in human nature
to continue it Indefinitely.

WHOLESALE MASSACRE

OF Armenians in a Church and Their
Quarters Pillaged Afterwards.
Constantinople, March 23.-In conse-
quence of the troubles at Tokal, in the
Sivas district of Anatolia, Sir Phillip
Currie, the British ambassador, has s5nt
to the porte the strongest remonstrance
that has yet been addressed to the gov
ernment in an official communication.
The official report of the affair said
that fifteen Armenians and three Mussul-
mans were killed, but the embassies have
received reliable information that fully
100 Armenians were massacred. The
people W. re killed while in church. Dur
ing ard after the massacre the Armenian
quarter of the city was given over to
pillage.
The Turkish newspa pers in their COM
ments upon the blockade of Crete re-
mark upon the pacific attitude of the
powers towards Turkey. Their attitude,
they say, is conformable with the rights
and political interests of the porte, and
furnishes fresh. proof of the striking sue
cess that has been gained by the sultan.
II also tesiifies to the friendship of the
powers for the porte and their solicitude
for the peace of the world.

To the Insurgents and Greek Troops Will

Canea, March 23.-Three hundred
French troops, the first of the reinforce
ments ordered to Crete for service, land
sd at Suda today. Later they marched
to this city Three hundred other
French troops will go to Sitia, at the
eastern end of the island.
Admiral Canevaro, the Italian officer,
who is by reason of seniority in command
of the combined fleets of the powers, has
issued a proclamation enjoining the in
surgents and Greek troops not to attack
the Turkish forts at Kissamee Suda,
MalaXa, Retimo, Gambia and Hierapetra,
these forts being necessary for the main
tenance of order at the ports where the
foreign troops will be disembarked.
The proclamation closes with a warn
ing that measures will be taken to in
surt- respect for 1t.
1T is doubted that the insurgents will
pay any heed to the proclamation.

VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE
CuIIman County's Election of a
Board of Revenue
PASSED OFF NolSELESSLY
Without the Much Vaunted Bloodseed-TWo of
the Old Commissioners May Squeeze
in on Scant Majorites.

Cullman, March 23-(Special)- 1.-THE
special election for members of the board
of revenue in lieu of the commissioners
court, yesterday, passed off quietly all
over the county. There was no blood
shed, as the enemies of the bill predicted,
in blood curdling article in the AdVer-
tiser, when the bill passed In the town
district Charles L. York was elected over
w. A. Schlosser presen; incumbent, by
more than two to one. York received 47G
and Schlosser 206.
In the First district, the friends or
Wilhi;e, the old commissioner claim his
election over w. E. CUTLERY by three
votes.
In the Second district, T. j. Tingle, the
old commissioner, seems to have defeated
w S. Trimble by twenty-five majority.
In the Fourth, S. M. Foust was elected
over r. Wiley, the old commissioner, by
about fifty majority.
Two new members were elected, Whlch
gives the control of the board to those
who oppose the actions of the old COM
missioners, as the probate judge Is
strongly in favor of the reform move
ment in county affairs.
The popular vote in the county shows
a majority of about $50 in favor or
complete change, but as the law provides
for the election of the board by districts.
as the commissioners have been elected
heretofore, two of the old members may
get in by a very small majority.
Thu tax commission argument and
every hing else possible was used against
the candidates on the citizens ticket. A
strong array of speakers canvassed near
ly every beat in the county in behalf OF
the old commissioners. Representative
w. T. L. Cofer, George H. Parker S. L..
Fuller T. w. Powell and Others of the
old set of politicians canvassed the coun-
ty and attacked the law as undemo-
cratic, un-American unpatriotic and
''dia abolical,"l but the people, when they
read the law for themselves decided the
issue against them.
Senator Will G. Brown, the author of
the bill, made but two appointments in
the county, but met the other speakers at
two or three of their appointments, dur
ing the last week of the canvass. He is
today receiving the congratulate OF
hundreds of friends upon the indorse ment
the people have given him in the face of
the bitter and relentless personal fight
his enemies have made upon him, not
only during the canvass, but for several
months past

RELIEF FOR THE SUFFERERS
In the Flooded District Received
al Memphis
A STAP TING STATEMENT
Of a Rive ,Sot7t" What of the One Hundred
z Slsand on the White, Arkansas
Iard Black Rivers 2"


ST. Louis. March 23.-Acting upon an
appeal from Gov. Jones, of Arkansas, for
assistance, the Merchants Exchange, of
this city, today subscribed $1,000 for the
relief of the flood sufferers. This money
and future donations will be handed over
to the Memphis r=lief committee. State
ments from Mayor Clapp and Chief of
Police e. r. Moseley, of Memphis, were
received by the exchange. The mayor
says that nearly all the refugees come
from Arkansas. The chief says thai
Memphis has two funds to draw upon
balances left from the yellow fever fund
and the cash donated for the Johnstown,
Pa, flood sufferers, neither of them b=ing
exhausted
The following from the mayor of Hell
| ena, Ark, was also read:
Helena, Ark, March 49,
THE danger point has been reached
and passed We are in such shape now
that we can build cur levee up as fast as
the river can rise. No matter how high
1t goes we can keep above it, 1 there
fore wish to alay the alarm that has been
spread abroad regarding the situation
here"
Appeals for aid were also reeeived from
Crittend=n and Mississippi counties, Ark.
Dispatches from many points in the
flooded section show but slightly varied
cOnuldlOnS from InOSe OIL yesterday.
Slight rises are reported at New Madrid,
Mo-; Columbus and Padueah, Ky; Cairo
and Metropolis, Ill.
The greatest increase was at Paducah.
TIL town is now an island and is only
reached by one railroad, the Illinois Cen
trad. A noon today the gauge at Mem
phis read exactly thirty-eight feet and
stationary, but rises at points above and
below there show that the steady gaug'
was caused by levee breaks al Hopefield
and St. Francis, in Arkansas.
South of Helena, to Chlcot, there is
scarcely any more effort to save tbs
levees. Al Modoc the break is now near
ly one mile wide.
The levees In Mississippi are higher and
bettsr aligned to resist the torrent than
those on the west bank The worst break
is below Frlar's Point, but levees restrict
the overflow.
dispatch from Greenville, Miss, says
the Sunfiower river is as wide and full
of water as the Mississippi at ordinary
stages and that the sluggish Yazoo river
is now a raging torrent. Rescue work
continues unabated from Vicksburg,
Helena, Memphis and Hickman, KY.
Steamer expeditions never return fruit
less and 1t would seem that only q start
has been made to save the suffering. The
misery undergone by these people is be-

hours when rescued.

Is published here today. He says: "Ali
