Gen. Wheeler says the Democratic party
- not opposed 10 an adequate Increase or
the United States army. Mr.. Bailey, how
ever will have something TO say on this
point. The Eailsys. and not the Wheelers,
are running the Democratic party There
Is chance, indeed, that Wheeler may be
run ou< OF that party. Bailey Il on his
traii already. and as Bailey recently got an
Endorsement in the Democratic caucus he
has right 70 consider that Els party In

weight IN the scale As opposed 20 Bailey
Wheeler Is a poor authority On Democratic
policy. In becoming an aii-around Amer

Gov Brady could not serve the terri
tory Of Alaska to better purpose than
by the course he has laid down for him
self. He has beer long enough in his
office to understand the complications
involved in Alaskan politics. and not
long enough 10 become identified too
closely with one or the other faction.
The territory IL likely to receive more
attentive consideration at the hands OF
congress for the reason that the gov
ernor seems 10 be one OF those men who
ways the best and that laws cannot be
enforced which have not behind them
the support OF the people governed.
He is prepared 10 disabuse the mind
Of the members Of congress OF that
hailueination. which has done so much
to cripple efforts to put Alaska upon the
same basis as other communities inhaa-
tied by white men. 1t has been assumed
that the Indians depended upon SNUG
result I'm preserving them in all their
native and pristine purity OF character
and nobility of aspiration. The fact is
becoming more generally known that
the indian has not only acquired taste
for strong liquor. but that on account
Of the high price OF smuggied whisky
made under government supervision,
they manufacture a form Of rum from
molasses which would be enough To.
pared to 1t. all known intoxicants are as
simple and innocent as milk; II would

The anomalous conditions existing In
Alaska are inexcusable The people OF
Alaska are very moderate I'm their re-
quest. and surely no demand could be
more reasonable than that the laws con-
corning liquor for that wild and rugged
land should be az strict as In the Dis
trict Of Columbia and TO which members
OF congress are themselves subject.
There is no reckless RIGHTEOUSNESS about
such proposition as this.
The judicial system OF Alaska has be-
come ridiculous. The area Is. Of course.
no greater than II was when the judicial
system was established. but the In
crease I'm population has Increased the

EIGHT YOUNG MEN GRADUATE 7.
They Received the Degree of Doctor of Denta
 Surgery.

The fourth annual commencement ex- ercises of the Birmingham Dental college took place at OBrien's opera house hast nigthlt Despite the cold weather the par quet was filled and there were number of people in the dGees circle.
 Dr. Charles A. Merrill of the faculty in- troduced pire speakers and dld so 5n most graceful manner.
 The curtain went up to the tune of the "Amertcan March," played by Grambs' or- chestfa. TYhe eigfft graduates attired in the regulation soudents gowns and mortar beard caps occupied tine stage together with the members of the faculty and the speak CTS of the evening.
 The exercises were opened with prayer by the Rev. John G. Murray. He asked the blessings of tine Divine Master on the col- lege, the faculty and on the young dentists who were just about to begin their career in @letr clloeen professions. He also be- sought the Supreme Ruler to be with the senaIoe and houeie of congress in this trying time of the nations history, and prayed that natiCnal honor be upheld and peace and good will ito all nations be main tained.
 Tine degrees were conferred by T. M. Allen, D. D. S., the heam of the faculty. In delivering the diplomas to the young dentists he counseled them to study their books more carefully than ever and to keep abreast with all the new discoveries in the science of dentistry. He told them to take for their Wt3itchwOrd upward ana oll- ward and never to be disheartened by any failure
 The following young men received diplo- mas: W. T. Hamblen, Texas; J. w. Key, Mississippi; J. W. Balkcomb, Alabama; |. F. Drummond, Alabama; J. E. Ellis, Texas; t; w. R. billiard, Alabama; H. N. McTXiere, Alabama; R. s. Rogers, Georgia E The address to the graduates was de- livered by Judge J. J. Banks. His effort was a most eloquent one and abounded in pungent wit and logic. His advice to the young doctors was both sound and sensi- bie and he closed with a magnificent trib- ute to the land in which they live.
 Dr. J. H. Phillips awarded the prizes of the year in a most pleasing manner The medal for the highest average in all the studies during the year was awarded to Dr. J. W. Key, of Mississippi. A special prize of s100 was awarded to Dr. w. R. billiard, Alabama, by pr. George Eubanks, of the faculty, for the general excellence of his work during the last year.
 In announcing the next number on the programme, Dr. Merrill said: "Columbus was from Genoa, not from Spain; the or chestra will now play the Columbian March,"
 The valedictory was delivered by Dr. H. T. Hamblen in a most eloquent manner.
 The benediction was pronounced by Rev Murray and the fourth commencement of the Birmingham Dental College was brought to a fitting close.

QUARTETIE- OF PRISONERS
Escaped From County Jail in the Early Morn u ing.

Ed Teasley Ed Kennedy, Robert Adams and Alex Smith, four colored prisoners, made their escape from the county jail early yesterday morning and are still at liberty. The escape was effected through the kitchen by means of a hole dug in the wall just back of the range in an old fire- place.
 These men were entrusted with the duties of cooking the food for the other prisoners, and were turned out of their cells in the new jail about o'clock by Night Warden Mclaughlin to prepare breakfast.
 The kitchen is situated in the old jail building which is connected with the new jail by the jail yard, and the cooks went at once to the kitchen, as was their GUS tom. Tom Collins, who is confined in the jail on charge of murder, Is an early riser, and generally goes to the kitchen to see that things are going on all right.
 He was up yesterday about 5:3O, and went as usual to the kitchen, where he was surprised to find this usually active department deserted. He at once began a search and found a hole in the wall just back of the kitchen range Collins at once reported the fact to Warden Mclaughlin, who immediately communicated with Chief Deputy Sheriff Warnock, who soon arrived at the jail. A careful search revealed the fact that the men had dug through an old fireplace just back of the range. By this means they gained access to the stable yard which is only separated from the street by low wall, which they easily scaled.
 It is thought that the men had planned the escape for several days and had taken a careful survey of the premises. It was the work of only few minutes to dig through the wall at this point and while some of them were at work others pro- ceeded to build a fire in the range in order to avoid suspicion which Is evidenced by the fact that a fire had been started and 8 large boiler of water placed on the range.
 Chief Deputy Worknock at once got de- scriptions of the missing prisoners which were furnished to each deputy and notice give to be on the lookout for the missing men. sN
 Teasley and Kennedy were recently con victed in the criminal court on a charge of perjury and were sentenced to two years each at hard labor Adams was charged with grand larceny and was awaiting trial as was also Smith charged with perjury
 None of the other prisoners could have escaped by this means as only cooks were allowed in the kitchen. A brick mason was sent for and the wall repaired It is thought that the men will be captured and returned to jail.

A FOX CHASE.
A "Slver Democrat" on the Trail of Willy
 Fox.

"Silver Democrat" on the Trail of Willy
 Fox.
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 A news item in an afternoon paper states that the Bimetallc Club of Davis beat met and put out a ticket Monday night.
 The alleged president of the alleged bi- metallic club of Davis beat Is MT. D. J. Fox, who has organized this ticket in the interest of Chancellor Cobbs in the home beat of MT. Carmichael. Mr. Fox is a bimetallist with. a vengeance. A large reward may be safely offered to any one who will prove that MT. Fox was ever seen in real free silver meeting of any kind.
 Mir. Fox claims to be president of two bimetallic clubs; one in Davis beat and one in Hill beat He holds title to these en- viable positions as follows: One fine day some three months since Mir. Fox and prominent gentleman who lives in Monroe precinct, met in the latter's office. The prominent gentleman, we will call Jones. With due solemnity MT. Jones called the meeting to order and nominated MT. Fox for temporary chairman. The motion was unanimously carried MT. Jones also moved that MT. Fox be likewise elected tempor- ary secretary. Carried unanimously MT. Jones then moved that MT. Fox be elected president of the bimetallic clubs of Davis and Hill precincts. Carried without dis sent. Upon motion of MT. Jones, duely seconded, MT. Fox was successively elected secretary, treasurer, executive committee and-entire membership of said clubs. For constitution MT. Fox adopted Jack Gates famous epigram, Away with parliaments; mys mouth shall be the law MT. Fox is indeed, the whole thing He is monarch, of all he surveys in Davis and Hill pre- cincts
 When did MT Fox become such an ardent bimetalist? Certainly since he appeared upon yhe Palmer and Buckner reception committee less than two short years ago. Another pertinent question might be asked. Are there not enough good, sincere free silver men in Davis precinct from among whom fourteen democrats could have been secured without the self-styled "true bimetallist' making up their ticket in part, as 1t is reported, of republicans.

ANDREE ALIVE

U. s. Mail Cruiser Claims to Have Picked Up Message 7 ].
 From Him. D

Seattle, Wash, April 5--A telegram to the Associated Press from Nanaimo, B. C., says:
 Jack Carr, a United States niail carrier, ar-rived there tonight from St. ,Michaels, Alaska, via Dawson City. Carr claims to have a message from Andree, one of his carrder pigeons having been picked up. It is stated tlrat the message says Andree is alive and on hand. Carr win not give out the message for publication. Several parties at Nanaimo claim ito have seen the message and they say it is to a!l appear ances authentic. Full credence is not given to the report here.
 4 Ex-MIayor w. D. Wood, who arrived from Dawson a. few days ago states that he saw Carr at Dawson. Carr sadd nothing about Andree to him. From other sources MT. Wood heard some vague references to Andree, but considered them without foun- dation. Carr left St. Michaels on Thanks giving.

THERE WILL
 BE NO WAR
This Is the Opinion of Phil Ar mour, Who Was in Birm-
 ingham Yesterday.

''There will be no war. The entire busi- ness interests of this country is opposed to war and the business interests are pow erful enough to prevent war. Mark my words"
 The speaker was Phillip D. Armour, the head of the great Armour Packing com pany, of Chicago. MT. Armour arrived in Birmingham yesterday morning on his spe- ciai car and left in the afternoon. He spent an hour or two in the forenoon looking after his agency here, after whicf he was the guest of Thomas B. Paine, who was formerly his representative for Geor- gia, stationed at Atlanta
 MT. Armour talked at length to Mr. Paine and others about the war-like situation. He was very emphatic in his statement that there would be no conflict.
 Suppose congress does go wild tomor- row and commit some foolish act, it would be thirty days before actual hostilities could open. Our navy is in no condition to attack today-neither is the Spanish navy. Not only the business interests of this country, but the business interests of all European countries are determined to avert war. They are exerting their in- f1uences and they are already being felt.
 There are not half as many jingoes to- day as, there were two weeks ago. Every body Is beginning to realize that actual warfare would be destructive to business interests and that every effort should be made to prevent it. I am firmly of the opinion that this matter will be settled without the firing of single gun."

G. 8. BURKHALTER
Being Endorsed All Over the County for the
 Legislature.

"There Is not a man in the race for the legislature" said a prominent democrat to an Age-Herald reporter last night, 'who is more certain to be nominated than c. B. Burkhalter. No man in the county Is better known or is better liked than Mr. Burkhalter, and with such popular in fiuences as this behind him, there can be no question as to what the county conven- tion will do in his case. Nor do I know of a clearer-headed, more business-like man than MT. Burkhalter. He Is a splendid parlismentarian and will make a mark at Montgomery next winter.
 q have just heard that a mass meeting of democrats in Jefferson beat has indorsed him for the legislature, although he does not live in that beat, and was not expect- ing an Endorsement. I have also heard from democrats in all the city beats, and he will get them almost solid. His friends in the county beats are equally as enthusi- astic and haven't the slightest doubt but that a number of the delegates will come instructed to vote for him. Jefferson county will not have a more worthy rep resentative in the legislature than c. B. Burkhalter." sss
