MORE DELAY
Alger's Latest Move Draws
Down Condemnation
SENATOR WHITES OPINION
JOHN F. FRANCIS MAKES SOME
CAUSTIC REMARKS
SENATOR WHITES OPINION
Newspapers Will Publish Advertise
ments for Bids and Wait for the
Money-Some Plain Talk

Dispatches from Washington an
nounce that the prince of procrastinat-
ors, Alger, now places July l, 1898, as the
date when the first work toward harbor
improvement can begin. Although con-
gress fixed the limit of cost at 50, 900, 900
no money was appropriated to be spent
during this fiscal year, and unless con-
gress takes further action this winter
there will be no money for anything.
Senator Stephen NJ. White, who will
leave for Washington about Nov. 2S
said yesterday:
TT looks like brand new fight and
/ shall be on hand to carry my share of
it for the people / represent. l have nc
doubt but that we will win again, as
We have won all along the line before.
What would advise the people to do ?
Why, not to vote for Mr.. Alger or his
party again.
ut would be waste of my time and
yours to argue the reasons he advances
for not advertising and the other delays.
In brief, there is not an atom of reason
in any of them. The bidders are ready
to bid and will do so as soon as the ad-
vertisements are issued The process is
the same as has been resorted to in nu-
merous other similar cases.
1T looks, if all these assertions sent
out from Washington are true, that the
hope of the opposition is to have the
whole law repealed. / can stop that in
the senate, think, but on the other hand
Mr.. Reed can, and doubtless will, stop
any measure of mine from the Senate in
tended to relieve the situation.
Il will do all in my power to advance
the matter when / get back to Wash
ington, If the Secretary continues in his
present policy. | can but hope that he
will change his mind and go ahead, but
the facts so far do not lend much basis
for such supposition.
Meanwhile, the more agitation of the
subject the better Let the people show
the President and Mr.. Ager how they
feel"
Mr.. John +. Francis, when asked his
views about the matter of Secretary AL
gers position, wrote as follows:
Justice we must have, even though
to obtain it we impeach those in high
place. They are the servants of the
American people, not their masters
Don't let them forget it, or the republic
will become such only in name.

mine No. OF the Bessemer Land and
Improvement company at Belle Ellen,
near Blocton, Bibb county. yesterday,
fire was discovered far down in the
main slope. About a hundred men are
employed in the mine, and an alarm
was at once given. A panic followed
among the workers and in the little
town Of Belle Ellen. Hundreds of men,
women and children gathered at the
main entrance of the smoking mine,
while rescue parties were formed to
relieve the miners. More than 50 were
gotten out from the various entrances
without harm. Others were overcome
by smoke and fell in the tunnels. These
the searchers found and dragged out.
A scene of widest excitement prevail
ed at the mines mouth. Women and
children were screaming and shouting

endeavoring to overcome the flames.
Five men who were working about the
slope beyond where the fire originated
could not be reached, and 1t is re-
garded as certain that they are dead.
The missing are Herman Kramer and
Hubbard Foley, white, and Henry
Reeves, Frank, James and William
Fairfax, colored,
1t is possible that two or three others
may be in the mine, but these five are
known to be lost. There was no pos
sibility of their escaping, and the fire
brigade battled with the flames all day
in vain attempt to reach the entomb-
ed mens~but at nightfall the fire was
still burning flercely and efforts were
abandoned and the men were given up
for dead. The fire is thought to have
originated from an overhead steampipe,
which ignited gas in the mine. A care
full check is being made Of the list Of
miners in the mine where the fire broke
out, to ascertain, If possible, il the
death list will exceed five. So far 1t Is
not positively known that any others
are missing.
