along the summit of Red mountain yester- day to look into the advisability of con- structing what would be by long odds the most beautiful driveway in Alabama.
 The party was chaperoned by Major F. r. Anderson, who was the originator of the scheme
 County Commissioners Crook, Morrow, Lacy and Young, and Probate Judge-Elect J. P. Stiles were all present. County Sur veyor Shoel and W. B. Leedy also accom- panied the party. The trip was made on horseback.
 The commissioners were impressed with the proposed speedway, and there is but little doubt that if it is practicable to raise the money the road will be built. The board will consider the whole matter at it's next meeting.
 Major Anderson has guaranteed the board that free right of way will be given the county by the property owners along the mountain top and also that all the mac adamizing chert that is required will be furnished to the county free of charge. The only expense which the county will have will be the grading, which the county surveyor has estimated at about $2O, 900.

 Stuart's Address
 The Hon. Frank Stuart, temporary chair man, said in part:
 "Chastened by defeats in forty-three state campaigns, the battle-scarred but un- conquered and unconquerable democracy of Iowa is again assembled for the pur- pose of reasserting the eternal principles of equity among men and of applying those principles to the solution of the great ques- tions of the hour. In our deliberations and conclusions today, while renewing our faith IT. those principles, let us not for one mo- ment forget that unswerving loyalty to them in thought and in action and this alone may merit the favor of that power which chasteneth and insure for us this year or next year. or in 19OO-the Roman countenance and the Spartan courage of an ihcomparable Bryan leading our hosts-yic- tory, righteous victory. "Sinee last we met in state conyo,,,o,, our country has been called upon to face grave lssues-issues of national and inter- | national import. It has prosecuted to a suc- | cessful termination a great war-a war for humanity.
 Who instigated this war for humanity? ? The great democrartic party Who prose- cuted this war? The American people as one man. Who is paying the expenses The American people, willingly, gladly Fly buying gold bonds? Oh, no; by buying tho coin bonds of the government, payable in either gold or silver, and while the govern ment wanted only s20O, ,OOO,O ,OOO, the people of- fered s1 900 OOO-all without the assistance of Grover Cleveland and a $16,OO0,OOO 'swipe' by his gold standard friends.

 "What should we do with Cuba? Do with it what we as nation promised to do-give it stable and independent republican gov- ernment of the peoples own creation. What shall we do with Porto Rico and the Phil ipptnes? Do with them exactly as we do with Cuba. Should we annex any of these islands? Without the full and free consent of the people to be governed, most positively we should not
 Shall we build the Nicaraguan canal? Yes; the United States should construct it, own it, operate 1t and control it.

wall, Porto Rico and Cuba an army of financial wolves backed and supported by the great American government? Is the American flag to be kept flying from the promonotorfes of those islands to lend these financial ghouls. these human hy- enas, backed by republicans, legal privi- leges, that they may 'upder due forms of law fllch from the people everything sus- ceptible of conversion into greasy dollars? Is this the message Of peace and love and freedom that the great American govern ment is to carry to these benighted peo- ples? God forbid
 'In word, in thought and in action the democratic party has sustained the repub- lican administration in this war from it's incipiency to the close. It has done so on the theory that 1t was a war for hui manity, not for lucre; for principle, not for pelf; for liberty, not for legalized license; and heaven forbid that at this critical time any democrat should allow the present or prospective clink of gold standard dollar to cloud his judgment or stine the still small voice of principle; heaven forbid that under the guise of commerce., or business or progress or any other plausible plea
 
 sanction the fastening upon the helpless people of these islands the republican evils that are at this very moment very grave menace to our own national life.
 "No democrat wishes to disturb friendly relations or cultivate unfriendly relations between the American and the English peo- ple or between the American people and the people of any other country. But the busi- ness relations the gold standard financial relations, between this country and the English spectators are already sufficiently binding for all practical purposes.
 How to Deal With Trusts
 "The tremendous wave of gold standard prosperity did not strike Iowa with force sufficient to unhinge any democratic in tellects, and therefore we are stronger than ever in the faith of '76 and 96, but it did bathe the overheated brows of some of our gold standard friends to such an extent as to cool their ardor perceptiby.
 'IIow to deal with trusts, combines, sym dcates and pools is question that democ- racy must solve, for all other alleged solu- tions have proved to be futile and useleTS. The great antitrust statutes, both state and national, have proved to be wholly in- efficacious.
 ''The one remedy is the repeal of the re- publican state statutes that legalize, SUD- port, sustain and foster trusts and com pines. All other alleged remedies are whclly worthless. Every trust is founded on the state laws for the organization of corpora tions for pecuniary profit. No trust could exist for single day but for the corpora oyief for Sfu gle day but for the republican statutes Ie-

ADMIRAL CERVERA VERY COURTEOUS
Thanks Commanders for Their
 Kind Treatment.
TO SEE WOUNDED. AND SICK
This Is the Purpose of His Visit to Nor folk-Spanish Prisoners Will Be Transferred to Battlesh.p
 New York.

Washington, September 7.-Admiral Ger vera, his son, Lieutenant Angelo Cervera, and Lieutenant F. Gomez Imaz, arrive d here today from Norfolk and called at the navy department. In the absence of Sec retary Long, the admiral and his two com panions paid their respects to Assistant Secretary Allen, and to him expressed thanks and gratitude of Admiral Cervera for the kindly treatment accorded him and his men while prisoners of the United States. The party remained but a few minutes.
 The admiral spent the day in a most unceremonous manner, going about with the two members of his staff in citizens attire that they attracted little atten- tion. and making brief informal calls on officials and friends. While at the navy department few officials knew of his pres ence.
 Admiral Cervera recorded his apprecia- tion of the treatment he received in the following letter addressed to Admiral Mo- Nair:
 Annapolis, Md, September -, Most Ex- cellent Sir: In order to examine the de- tails of the transfer to the New York Of the wounded and sick, have at the naval hospital III NOTIOlk, va, leave toudy 1oE that place.

 "I must not go away without thanking your excellency for your noble and gen erous conduct towards us which has always been seconded by all and especially by Lieutenant Commander Moore, whose bear ing I shall never tire of praising. '' "The courteous and sympathetic welcome given to all of us by the distinguished off cials leaving the academy, is one more title to our gratitude and your excellency may rest assured Nthat 1t will never be efaced from our memories. ..4- 2, ...-.s = Finally the perfectly correct conduct or watchmen, soldiers and all individuals we came in contact with presenting the notable fact that we depart without having had the least friction as I take pleasure in re- cording here. r,.ss i' "I intend, if time permits, to go and ,sbank in person the secretary of the navy.

A Lively Little Gold Wave Struck Bir
 mingham Yesterday.

Birmingham had a touch of real fall weather yesterday afternoon, such as made shirt waisted maiden and crash suited men sigh for their wraps and overcoats, re- spectively.
 September started out as if it would be registering T degrees At noon. however, it had only reached S2 and an hour or two later attained its maximum of S3 But then it began to drop and was very cool all fhe afternoon. At o'clock it registered 70 degrees and was still dropping.
 This sudden change was undoubtedly caused by the storm along the Atlantic coast. Much cooler weather is promised for today, with few showers thrown in.

 "Is not this radical remedy? Possibly, but it is the only remedy, and it is the dem- ocratic remedy. You cannot amputate a gangrened leg with court plaster; you can- not remove a malignant tumor with vase line. But, after all. the remedy is not nearly as radical, not nearly as harsh--not by any means as drastic as the adroit and plausi- ble corporation schooner would have the peo- pie believe. Its application would destroy not one dimes worth of property; it would take away from no man on account of wealth. but 1t would effectually and for all time put stop to vast amount of grand larceny that is now rendered respectable by the sanction of statutory law"

METEoRs KILL CHILDREN.
Roof Near Perry, Oklahoma,
Dealing Death to Two.

Wichita. Kan, Nov. IA report was
received in Wichita Sunday afternoon
that two children in family named
Henderson were crushed and burned to
death by falling meteors near Perry,
0. T. Saturday night. Six big Jumps Of
blazing iron went whizzing through the
air towards the surface Of the earth,
and the heavens were as light as day.
When the meteors struck the earth the
jar was sufficient to break window
lights in many homes. The two chill
dren killed were sleeping in the same
bed. A mass of iron four feet in cir
conference fell through the roof and
crushed them into the ground. Their
bodies were buried and burned so as to
be almost unrecognizable. -
*. The whole roof Of the house fell in on
the family and buried them all for a
short time. Another boy had his legs
and arms broken by falling timber. The
father and mother could not get out OF
the debris for an hour. Neighbors
rushed to the aid of the family and got
there in time to save the house from
flames. The six meteors werea discov.
cred on the prairie within radius OF
one mile. They were all composed OF
substance resembling iron. and some
crumbled easily. while others did not.

special from Toledo says A Cedar
Point fisherman named Velliquet brings
report here Of the loss of schooner
and seven lives on Lake Erie. During
the heavy blow of Thursday he was
blown down the lake and landed on
Green island. The keeper of the light
house there, Capt. Gibeaut, told him of
q wreck that occurred the day before.
There was a heavy gale blowing with
furries of snow. He saw two-masted
schooner making heavy weather and
later her maipmast was carried over
board. Signals of distress were flying,
Capt. Gibeaut tried to get out to the
dismantled vessel, but he could not

able to see seven figures on the vessel.
one woman and the rest men, or one
or two boys. The vessel was heavily
laden or water-logged and looked as if
she would go under the towering waves
at every roll. Finally he saw portion
OF the crew try to get away from the
sinking craft in small boat. A furry
OF snow shut off his view and later he
saw the life boat upset and drifting
down The lake. The remaining spar had
been carried away and no life was to be
