HANDSOME COUPLE
Married by Judge Stiles Yesterday 2 Suggestive of Gretna Green Affair.

F. M. Bartlett and Miss Ellen Berryhill, who were evidently strangers in the city, applied at the probate office yesterday for a license to wed. When the license was issued inquiry was made where a properly authorized person could be found who could perform the ceremony. When told that Judge Stiles was vested with such au- thority, his services were at once sought and the nuptials celebrated. Both people were elegantly attired and gave no address The rather informal manner in which the license was obtained and the ceremony was performed was suggestive of a Gretna Green affair.

All Factories to be Exempted

MT Smith, of Escambia, called the special order for 12 o'clock, which was his bill to amend the act passed two years ago for the exemption from taxation cotton mills to be erected in Alabama for period of ten years so as to include starch factories.a MT. Cofer offered an amendment, which, was accepted, including all manufactories with $50,O0O capital to be established in the state within the next five years. There was no opposition to the passage of the bill, and it was sent to the senate without opposition. This bill will doubtless attract much, ,capi- tai to this state. It is the same bill as is embodied in the general revenue bill now being considered by the ways and means committee.

SHORT SESSION OF THE HOUSE

yVashington December 6-The first note of the anti-expansonists was sounded Ill the senate today by Senator Vest, of Mis- souri, who introduced the following joint resolution:
 '.That under the constitution of the United States no power is given to the federal government to acquire territory to be held and governed permanently as col onies.
 "The colonial system of European nations cannot be established under our present constitution, but all territory acquired by the government except such small amount as may be necessary for coaling stations, correction of boundaries and similar gov ernmental purposes, must be acquired and governed with the purpose of ultimately organizing such territory into states suita- ble for admission into the union."

 United States. .e4r
 The Navigation Laws s sa1
 MT. Vest a member of the committee on commerce, expressed his opposition ito the bill principally because it afforded protec- tion to the coastwise trade, which needed no protection. Our general carrying trade, MT. Vest believed, needed protec- tion. Under the present system of navigation laws this trade had de- creased from 75 per cent to Il per, cent, and this country is now paying $l50,O0p.0OO annually to foreign ship owners for carry ing trade that ought to be carried in American bottoms. This condition of af- fairs, MT. Vest declared, was "a scandal ane disgrace" He said he had been amused at the suggestion of the president made in his message submitted yesterday that carrying trade be encouraged by the payment of subsidies.
 'In other words,''' said he, it is pro- 2 posed to substitute for the present vicious system of navigation laws. a scheme flsub- sides that, is even more vicious than is .he evil he proposes to remedy. .t
 Under the proposed policy in the admin istration,'' continued. MT. Vest, i've are to build a great navy. We are to cease to be a nation of traders, and, under the inn pulse of the policy of expansion, become nation of warriors. It would appear to me to be better first to build up our carrying trade. would also let our people, through the beneficent effects of such trade, buy where they can buy cheapest"
 MT. Caffery, of Louisiana, also a member of the committee on commerce, opposed the bill Finally it was made a special order for next Monday.

remittance home by the same ship that
he arrived in. a thing that was often
forgotten amid the temptations OF pion-

WAS 1T INFANTICIDE?
The Dead Body of an Infant Dis
covered Yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon DR.. G. E. Pink
ham was informed that the dead body
of an infant had been found under the
steps of a closet at the rear of an un-
occupied residence building at ~
Eighth street.
Dr. Pinkham visited the house and
found the report to be true. The re-
mains had been found by a couple Of
women who We're attracted by the
stencil arising from the body. 1t had
been drawn from its hiding place under
the steps. and Mrs. Cross, who OWES
the property, asked the doctor to take
it away.
Instead of doing so he notified the
Chief OF Police, and the latter visited
the house He made an examination
and found that the body was that IF 4
newly born boy babe. He thought he
could detect marks Of violence. and was
inclined to believe that death resulted
from strangulation. subsequently, ct
the Coroner's office, an examination
was made. and TO evidence of foul play
could be detected.
The body was wrapped in an old
gray blanket. and the infant had evil
IDENTIFY been dead about a week, as de-
composition was we'll under way. There
was nothing to indicate whether the
child had been stillborn or whether it
had been hid away alive and died. and
there was nothing that might lead To a
clue to its parentage, except the
blanket in which it was wrapped
There We're indications about the
closet leading to the belief that the
child was born there and Immediately
afterward hidden away under the steps
on the outside. None of the persons
residing in the vicinity were able 10
throw any light on the matter.
Coroner Clark took charge of the re-
mains and an autopsy will probably be
