TALKS WITH TIE SOLDIERS On the Condition of the Birm-
 ingham Militia. 1200 MEN IF NECESSARY Could Be Readily Raised-C Cavalry Regiment Doing Splendidiy-RolIing Mill Men
 Waiting to Organize Artillery.
% MEN IF NECESSARY

Tn case war were declared tom6rrow," {" said Gen. Louis Clark yesterday, "and in case the Alabama National Guard is called upon to defend the southern coast, believe that we could easily take 200 infantrymen away from Birmingham.
 There are at present four companies in the Birmingham battalion and each of them Is entitled to 100 men, and although the actual muster of each company is only about three-fourths of this number, still all of them have the names of plenty of recruits who are willing to volunteer at the first outbreak"
 Then you know that under the law Bir- mingham is permitted to raise, if neces- sary, regiment of twelve companies of 100 men each? I think that even this could be done if they were needed"
 NO, I don't think there will be any trouble getting volunteers from Birm ng: ham.
 Birmingham has the war fever right said Col. E. L. Higdon. T don't believe there is a man on the muster-roll of any Birmingham company who would fail to go to the front if he was called upon. Af- ter they got to Mobile. if their services were needed in Cuba, I believe that every man would volunteer to go. If he didn't I think we should be tempted to shoot him.
 By the way, I have recently had letters from Representatives Underwood and Bankhead in reference to house bill No. 2S76 in regard to increasing the annual ap- propriation for the state militia from $i00,- 900 to $1 900 900. Both of them said that they were heartily in favor of the bill.
 'Now is the time, I think, to rush this bill through congress. When individual states are appropriatng this amount for their militia, I think that congress could certainly aTord $1 ,OOO,O 900 for arming and equpping all She state troops"
 'The cavalry regiment Is progressing splendidly," said Capt. James B. Morson.

H. H. Mayberry received telegram yes- terday from Greenbriar, announcing the death of his famous pointer, Alabama Girl, from rabies.
 The dog was entered at the Alabama Field Trials, which were held at Madison a short time ago. and sustained her pre- yious excellent record, which placed her among the crack dogs of the country. After the trials she was brought to this city for a few days, and then taken to Greenbriar, where she died on Monday night.

IS HE A PARTY MAN?
Is He Either Democrat or Populist ? Mr. Harsh's Position in the
 Last Stale Campaign.

The following is the sworn testimony of | well-known citizens of Jefferson county as | to the quality of MT Harsh's democracy: Affidavit of G. D. Killough, J. w. Price and l.. P Helton and statement of W. M. Killough.
 | State of Alabama, Jefferson County. On Saturday. before the August election.s in 1896, we were at w. M Kflloughs store, | at Mount Pinson. fin Jefferson county. The populists had a grand rally at that place on that day. MT. G. R. Harsh. now can didate for the democratic nomination for senior judge of the city court, was pres ent. In conversation in the presence of number of gentlemen MT. G. R. Harsh said that he was for Goodwin for governor and against Johnston.
 He stated that Goodwin did right in casting his vote in the House of Representatives in favor of the seating of the negro Murray. who was con- testing Elliott's seat in con- gross from South Carolina.
 Mir. Harsh said that he was going to vote for Goodwin. He was requested to mako a spa'ch for Goodwin, but declined on ahe

 How does this testimony tally with Mir. Harsaa's claim that he has been a consist~ ent democrat? Does 1t not appear that he has never been consistent In his loyalty to any party7 It shows him to hhwe been tho same sort of e party man as he appeared to be when he testified against Oscar Un- derwood in the Crowe-Uhderwood contest.

 We cannot arm and equip all these men in Birmingham, but if the cavalry should be ordered out, base of supplies will be established, possibly in Atlanta, and from there the whole squadron will be supplied with horses and other equipments"

 Orders were received in this city yester- day from the adjutant-generals office in Montgomery announcing the result of the election in the Third Infantry, held on March 2s. As predicted by The Age-Herald, E. l.. Higdon of Birmingham was elected colonel to succeed B. F. Elmore: W. A. Orr of Oxford is lieutenant-colonel, to suc- ceed l.. l.. Herzberg;- and D. D. Mcleod of Anniston is major, to succeed H. P. Me- Connell. These officers were elected with out opposition, and the nnanimity with which they were selected proves the conh- dence that the men of the regiment have in them.
 Orr's promotion leaves vacancy of ma- jor, which will in all probability be filled by Capt. James H. Sheffy of Huntsville. Capt. Sheffy has been a commissioned officer for thirteen years and is said to de- serve the office in every particular. Hunts vile, from its geographical situation, de- serves this office, and 1t is thought that Capt. Sheffy will have no opposition.
 As soon as the order announcing h.s election was received yesterday Col Hig- don was administered the oath of office by Brigadier-General Clark, and the ony thing now between Col. Higdon and his office is the commission, which will be here in 8 few days. It is understood that Col. Higdon will appoint the following stan on the receipt of his commission: E. A. De Funiak, of Birmingham, captain and ad- jutant; F. l.. Demere, of Birmingham, captain and commissary; D. M Fletcher, Jr, of Huntsville, captain and inspector of rifle practice; Y. l.. Senn, of Birming ham, quartermaster; Dr. w. J. Kernaehan, surgeon, and Dr. L. c. Morris, of Blrming ham, assistant surgeon; pr. B. D. Gray, of Birmingham, chaplain.
 Lieut. Sam G. Jones' of the United States army, was expected to arrive in the city last night, and Col. Higdon will accom- pany him on an inspection of all the com- panies in the regiment.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO Nov 9-There was plenty of news of a bullish character at the opening in wheat to justify the Ac advance with which that market started The opening price for May was 663s 666Jkc. It weakened trthe shortly after the opening, few sales being made at 661t GD6G2sc. But this only temporary. Un- der fairly strong demand from shorts and a moderate amount of investment buying the price advanced pretty steadily for over an hour, finally getting up to GIG. There was a marked scarcity of offerings during this time, but at the best the demand only moderate. The strength was mostly due to an advance at Liverpool of 1H01Ad over Mondays figures. and notwithstanding the fact that English con- sols were strong traders looked upon the Liv- erpool advance indication of uneasiness over the political situation. Their belief was strengthened by iEtimations that Lord Sails bury's speech tonight would sensational. pool partly due to scarcity of spot wheat. After the advance to 67c the market became exceptionally dull, though the price was well maintained for some time. During the after noon, however, 1t eased of somewhat, though weakness developed. May closed 9sQ1ac ad- vance.
 Corn was slow but firm There was good cash demand and this with the wet weather and higher cables made bears cautious. Heavy shorts good buyers demand from this source being the feature Of the trading. May closed 593Ic higher. The market for oats was uneveStful. Prices were steady at small ad- vance, bad weather in Illinois and sympathy with wheat and being the leading fac tors. Trading was very small and price fuc- tuations nsign!fcant. Receipts were 363 cars. May advanced Ac.
 Provisions were dull and heavy throughout A decline in hog prices started the market at a small decline and moderate selling pressure from packers with no demand of consequence forced prices steadily downward. The market was at its weak spot at the close.

THE BOSTON WOOL MARKET.

BOSTON, Nov. e.-The improvement noted m the wool market here the last week has con- tinued and the sales in this market are re- ported at over 12 oOQ, 900 pounds, the bulk of which has gone to manufacturers. The ma tority of sales are largely of territory grades. The prices obtained range all the way from the basis of 4SQ46c for secured fine medium and fine and 47450c for staple. Fleece wools also met with some sales. Quotations: Terri tory wools-Montana fine medium and fine 149 17c; secured, 4S050c; staple, 4SQ50c. Utah, Wyoming etc., fine medium and fine, 14415c; secured, 44945c; staple, 47Q4Sc. Australian Secured basis, combing supertlne, fV4Izci good, 65G6Sc; average, 62465c. -
 The American Wool and Gotten Reporter will say tomorrow of the wool market:
 There has been good business transacted though the sales are considerably less than the very large total reported during the preceding week. There has, however. been considerable looking around, and as a result We are able to report sales of 42S0, 500 pounds. The market, aside from these negotiations, has been fairly active, especially on territories, which are more sought for than any other line of do- mestic wools.
 The tone of the market, far prices are concerned, is quite steady on the basis of prices given last week. It is a mistake to suppose that there is any demoraliZation in the wool market that any great slump in values has occurred. The sales of the week and 790 5o0 foreign, making a total of 42S0, 300 pounds, against total of 9.059, 600 for the previous week and total of 5,1S7,O GOO for the corresponding week last year. Sales since January l. 1S9S amount to 106.S06, 01O pounds, against 33S 696, 100 last year at this time.
