magnificent welcome in the Confeder-
acy's first capital yesterday. The
presidents train was escorted from
Atlanta to Tuskogee and hence here
by the states assembly. Gov. Johnson.
Chief Justice Mcclellan and a party of
ladies. At the union station the presi-
dental party was met by the govern
ment, the committees from the assem-
Dly, the mayor and city council and
the commercial and Industrial associa-
lions. The whole party was then
taken in carriages through the leading
business and residence streets to the
old Confederate capitol. The entire
route was ablaze with national colors,
while tremendous crowds lined the
streets as far as the eye could reach.
when Gov. Johnston escorted Mr.. Nc
Kinley into the hall there was a ire
mendous demonstration. Gov. John
ston made brief speech, in which he
TOOK occasion to say that Alabama
was back in the Union to stay, and
that she welcomed the president of the
reunited country to the historic spot.
They Puncturcd His Remarks.
The audience constantly puncturcd
the presidents remarks with the wild.
est demonstrations Of applause. espe-
cially his tributes to Lieut.. Hobson's
mother and Gen. Wheeler's daughter.
AS soon as he had finished the gov
ernor started to escort the president
away for Il reception at his own home,
but the audience would not have it.
They called for others of the party to
speak.
The other speakers emphasized the
power of the Spanish was in restoring
the harmony and cordially between
the different sections. Secretary Long
was especially well received, as he
called attention to the fact that in adj
dltion t9Wheeler and HObson there was
another Alabaman who had con
trlbuted vast deal to the success of
the war in his important work Of help
ing the navy, Hilary y. Herbert of
Montgomery. After the speeches the
presidential party went to the gov
ernor's Office, where public reception
was held for half an hour. He next

was effected for q vote upon the pass
age Of the bill at 4 O'clock to-day. 1t
was supported in debate yesterday by
Messrs. Brosius, Adams, Lacy and
Walker, Reps, and opposed by Messrs.
Jenkins, Rep, and Cox, briggs, and
Bartlett, Demg.
Washington, Dec. 1S.-The bill to in
corporate the international American
bank was buried under an over
whelming adverse majority of the
house yesterday. The debate upon
the measure was concluded at 3
o'clock. Mr.. Dingley, the floor leader
of the majority, made an argument in
its support. The other speakers were
Hill Of Connecticut. in its support,
and Messrs. Bell, Sulzer, Maxwell,
Maddox and Swanson in opposition.
The vote by which the bill was de-
feated stood 1O3 ayes to 14S noes. The
bill to extend the customs and revenue
laws of the United States over the
Hawaiian islands was passed without
opposition. The bill, Mr.. Dinglcy ex-
planned, carried with it the civil laws
relating to appointments in the Gus
toms and revenue service In Hawaii.
AS this bill simply sought to do what
he believed had in fact been done by
the act Of annexation, it was proper
that it should pass and pass promptly.
Mr.. McMillin Dem., Tenn.) used the
bill as a text for some remarks upon
the Dingley revenue law in which he
claimed that the revenue provided by
it was insufficient to meet the ex-
pei Sc of the government. Mr.. McRae
Dem.. Ark offered an amendment
designed to extend all the general laws
of the United States over the islands.
He said there We're other laws in
Hawaii which should be abrogated be-
sides the customs and revenue laws.
Among them were the labor and the
land laws. Mr.. Dingley begged Mr..
McKae not to complicate the question
involved in the bill. The bill was then
passed without division. The house
then, at 400 p. m., adjourned.

CAUTIOUS DIPLOMAT.
Japanese Minister Not Ready t.
Talk on Alliance Questions.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The Japanese
minister, Mr.. Jutaro Komura, in all in
terview. said that he could not COM
init himself in favor of such an alli-
ance as that suggested by Senator
Davis in Paris between the United
States, England and Japan.
''The international alliance question
is great one" he added, land is alb
sorbing the attention of every nation
on earth. l cannot say whether l am
in favor Of such an alliance as is sug-
gestcd by Mr.. Davis"
The minister spoke of the vast adj
vantage Of these undertakings, and
said he had no doubht that sooner or
later there would be alliances between
the various countries in some form or
other 1t would make little difference
in just what form they might be made.
The interests of England. Japan and
the United States are almost identical.
and the understanding between them,
the minister thought. might prove of
e:ea1 benefit to all.

Will Be Reelected President Of the
Federation Of Labor.
Kansas City, Dec 1S.-The fight OH
President Samuel Gompers. of the
American Federation of Labor. which
was talked of by a minority at the
opening of the annual convention, has
not developed any strength. The elec-
ton of officers will probably see some
changes in the executive council, but
there is no doubt so far as can be seen
now that Mr.. Gompers will be re-
elected. Mr.. Cake of Pittsburg. who
is a leader in the convention. declares
that there can be no doubt of his re-
tention at the head of the federation.
1t is generally believed that James
eO'Connell of Chicago and Thomas Y.
Tracy of Boston will be selected as in
ternational delegates to the British
trades congress next summer. If these
selections are made S. Il. Donnelly of
New York. president Of the Typo
graphical union, will probably succeed
Mr.. O'Connell on the executive board.

Washington, Dec. 10. = Special
Agents Parke and Schwartze, Of the
general land Office, who have been in
,vestigating the logging of the dead
midtown timber ON the coded lands of
the Chippewa reservation in Mime
sofa, have made their report to Com
missioner Hermann. They say the
charge that the logging operations on
the Leech Lake reservation were
largely the cause of the Indian out
break fails Of confirmation, and that
the cause Of the war originated fully
forty years ago. 1t is we'll known,
they say, that the war was used by
influential lumbermen, disappointed
applicants for logging permits, and
half-breed disturbers to befog the stu
alton. and say the real trouble was the
unfulfilled promises, violated treaties
and mismanagement. The agents
found no instance of the Indians be-
ing unfairly treated or refused work;
that 80 per cent of the loggers were
Indians. they receiving 81 day while
the whites got only $1S month; that
at the last settlement 81 per cent Of
their labor bill was paid, and more
will be, and that the $4,000 and up
ward earned by these Indian laborers
last winter Is worth more to them, the
tribe and the government than the
value of all the logs cut. The foremen
complain that the Indian labor is un-
satisfactory. The agents report that
in many cases the Indian receive re-
ward for the use of their names to Sc
cure legitimate permits, suggest that
this leaves the
Door Open for Fraud
and recommend placing a government
inspector to control the labor and sup
ply charges and proper rules. The re-
port says that the full-bloods who have
adopted civilized ways and are Dracti-
cally half-breeds are satisfied with the
present timber system. and. if not iu-
terfered with four-fifths of the Indians
are stated to favor logging this season,
which the agents recommend. The
agents, however, say that many full
bloods, emboldened by the result of the
recent outbreak, say there will be no
logging. At Leech lake Chief Red
Blood threatens to remove all outfits
from the reservation, and if the log
gers commence operations the Indians
will follow suit. At the White Earth
reservation Chief Bay-ke-no-wash is
making similar threats concerning
that reserve. He claims there is Il
compact between the White Earth.
Leech Lake, Cass Lake and Red Lake
Indians to prevent logging. Two In
dams came to notify the agents that
logging operations Oh the Red Lake re-
serve will be stopped if attempted this
winter. They are likely to cause
trouble. according to the agents, if
they are not made to realize that the
close Of the recent war with them was
not brought about drought any fears
of the government.
