If the situation were not so critical
Spain's attempt to make this country
responsible, in the eyes of Europe, for
the failure of autonomy in Cuba, by
charging that failure to the presence
of our fleet of warships at Key West,
would be amusing AS it is, it merely
adds an additional complication to an
already much complicated condition OF
affairs. President Mckinley did not
assemble that feet at Key West to
please Spain, nor did he place the coun-
try on a war footing to please Spain,
and he will not disperse that feet or
call halt in the preparations for war
to please Spain, or any other European
power or powers. He is preparing to
defend our National honor, against
Spain, and against the world, if neces,
sary.

ARE MANY APPLICANTS.
Numerous Lawyers Desire to Be Special
 Judge of City Court.

On Thursday last Governor Johnston dl- rected that a commission issue to Cap tain w. c. Ward to act as special judge of of the city court during the disability of Judge Senn. The governor was in the city yesterday and expressed much regret that Captain Wards condition would pre- vent him from holding the court and 1t is probable that another appointment will be made tomorrow r.
 Several prominent attorneys are men toned In connection with the appoint ment and the governor was yesterday be- sieged with the friends of the candidates, who urged their respective claims.
 There seems to be an idea that any one appointed temporary judge would be first in line to fill any vacancy that might here after occur on the bench in this county, but the governor stated that exactly the contrary was true. He said that a tenn porary appointment would put the ap- pointee at the very foot of the list as he would not like to have him embarrassed by endeavorlng to carry favor with the bar or the public.

GENERAL ARNOLD.
He Will Go to Cuba in General Wheeer's
 Division.

Brigadier-General A. K. Arnold, of the United States army, passed through the city yesterday on his way from Jacksun- vile to the camp in Huntsville where he goes to take command of one of the brl- gades of cavalry which leaves within the next month for Cuba. sr
 He said that his brigade would be a part of the division which is to be commanded by Major-General Joseph Wheeler, thus confirming the reports from Washington published in yesterdays Age-Herald that the famous little Alabamian was to go with army of occupation to Cuba instead of returning immediately to Washington to enter congress.
 General Arnold said that there was but little doubt that this division would land and have It's headquarters at Havana, though he had no Idea just when they will leave Huntsville. Neither could he say from what port the troops would em- bark.
 General Arnold was before the war the colonel commanding the Firs United States Regular cavalry, but at the outbreak of hostilities was made a volunteer brigadler- general.

The degree rituals are singulary beautiful and im- presive and the literature of the Rite is scholarly and profoundly phillosophc. There is scarcely any department of the intellectual realm with which 1t does not deal It is said to be especially rich in the discussion of truth as applied to splr- itual life and abstract political science. At the next meeting of the chapter the eighteenth degree will be conferred in full form.

THAT BISCUIT TRUST:
A Movement Which Has Been Quietly
Worked 70 Il Point Where
Success Is Sure.

A new trust is being organized.
a movement is on foot to secure CON
troll Of the entire bakery trade OF the
United States.
Three companies, the largest in the
country, are at the head Of the scheme
and are fast acquiring all properties
which they consider necessary to their
convenience. Those which they do not
want will have to compete with an al
most unlimited capital. The companies
interested are the New York Biscuit
Company, which has an office and dis
tribnting depot here the American
Baking Company and the United States
Baking Company.
For the past tcw years these com
panicS and Il number of smaller ones
have been in such keen competition
that the prices have been forced down
to point which eliminated all profit
By consolidating standard price will
be fixed, which will at first be very low
Even after the deal has been completed
and the prices permanently fixed, the
company on account Of their immense
purchases and the low freight rates,
which they will be able to secure, will
still be able to undcrsell the purely local
manufacturer
This viii mean the eventual forcing
out Of business Of all the concerns who
are not in the combine. The only firm
in this city which is in the wholesale
business is A. J. Lang 1t is understood
that this company will sell out to the
combine, as it would hc hopeless to
compete with them.
How long this deal has been under way
is not known, but they lave already Sc
cured all the principal baking houses in
the West and committee has gone
South to negotiate for the purchases Of
the controlling companies in that section.
Arrangements have been made for Il
meeting to be held in the near future
when officers will be elected and the
amount Of capital which each concern
in the combine will be expected to fur
nish, is t. be definitely settled
