GENERAL WITHOUT COMMAND.
This Applies to Ex-Governor Gates-SiiI Anx-
 ious For the Alabama Boys.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Montgomery, July S.-Former Governor Oates, of this city, is a general without command. He was appointed brigadier by the president about six weeks ago and is willing, ready and waiting to go to the front, but up to this time they have failed to give him command. He thinks there are a greater number of generals than there are troops to fill up their commands that when he left Mobile a few days ago there were more generals waiting there for assignments than there were regiments in camp there. General Oates is especially anxious to secure command of the Alabama troops, but his chance to accomplish this appears now to be remote.

Special Dispatch to the AgeHerald.
 Montgomery, July S.-When the war broke out and a call was made upon Alabama for troops one of the very first to enlist was Henry C.

Several days ago he returned to Montgomery on recruiting duty for his company. His friends knew he had a sweetheart here, but had no idea how serious the young soldiers intenions were until last night when he sprang pleasant surprise on them by taking out license and marrying the girl of his choice, Miss Lillian Carr of this city. Both the soldier repo1fer and his fair bride have thousands of we'll WisLners in Alabama.

Special Dispatch to The AgeHerald.
 Mobile, July S.-There was a blaze al- most equal to the "torch-lights'' recently seen off Santiago down Mobile bay early this morning caused by the burning of the quarantine station. All the fumgating machinery and wharf were destroyed. The fire originated from the boiler furnace.
 The plant cost $50,OOO, and is insured for $13,OO0.

Vessels can be fumigated at the national quarantine station at Ship Island, Miss.

Amsterdam. Sept. 6.-The events of yesterday were but overtures for the far more important ceremonies today upon the occasion of the long awaited enthroning cf Queen Wilhelmina, who came of age On August 3l. A procession Was headed by Kings of the Arasenements, with heralds in their gorgeous costumes and bearing long trumaets. adorned with pendent flags. But all the splendor of the royal ret:stle was overlooked by the vast crowds of people whose eyes were turned upon the central figure of this imposing procession-the young queen, on foot amidst the people, decked with all the emble-ns of royalty.
 At her head was a diadem of dia- monds, crown shaped. Her robe was Of white silk. with long train, under a mantle Of rich red velvet on which the lions of Nassau were displayed on gold embroidery. The sword of state was carried before the young queen by a general. Hel majesty carried herself with grace and fortitude, but her blanched cleeks were evidence of the profound emotion inspired by the l greatness uf the occasion.

CANADA ASKS TOO MUCH.
Conference at Quebec AdiOurns to
 Sept. 20 Without Action.

Quebec, Sept. 6.-The joint high com
 mission of the United States and Great Britain, after ten days work adjourned to meet again in this city September oJ
 A man closely identified with the
 United States government and who
 las followed the work of the confer ence very closely, made the following statement this afternoon:
 "The labor of the American mem bers of the commission has been great ly increased by the attitude of the Ca nadian representatives on the subject Of reciprocity. I understand they de- handed as condition precedent to the settlement of the international questions which have long pended be- tween Canada and the United States an agreement of some kind in refer ence to reciprocity.
 "This would not be so difficult of solution were it not for the fact that om the newspapers of Canada and from the impression of the public men here it is very evident the. reciprocity they are willing to enter is not the kind of reciprocity the American peo- rle for the past twenty years have dis cussed and now unanimously favor Since I have been here I have care- fully observed the situation and have learned that the Canadians expect the United States to give them an exclu- sive preferential duty in our market. while they prtspIse to admit our goods only upon tue same condition that the products of Great Britain are admitted.
 "The Canadian idea is that in our markets they arc to have an advantage as against the rest of the world, while ill their market they will give us only an equal opportunity to compete with Great Britain
 "The kiad of reciprocity which the American people favor and which the commercial bodies Of the United States lave asked our commissioners to se- cure is the reciprocity which gives an equal advantage iii the respective mar Tets in the countries which are parties to the agreement, and that this ad- vantage shou11 be exclusively enjoyed by each country.
 Had these various commercial bod ies known ]. tIle time they considered and passed their resolutions what kind of reciprocity Canada wanted it ia doubtful If any of them, outside the Boston chamber of commerce, would have favorc1 it or would have pre- sented these resolutions which are now in the hands cf the commissioners.

The Difficulty in Finding a New
 French War Minister.

Paris, Sept. S.-The Figaro says that General Sausaier refused to accept the portfolio Of tEe war ministry because te had been connected as military governor of Paris with the Dreyfus case and te therefore considered that he should leave another to settle the matter.
 The newspaper confirms the report tLat, the acceptance of the office by Zurlinden, the military governor oi Paris, was due to President Faure's 5 insistence. Some of the papers praise his acceptance of the office under the existing difficulties of the situation and attack Cavaignac, the late min- ister of rFar, declaring his action in resigning was tactless and illogical.
