Secretary Refused to Change His Plans
 inlFaHor of Birmingham.

Though the committee appointed by the citizens of Birmingham to invite Secre- tary Alger to visit this city did its work well, they were unable to induce him to visit Birmingham on his present trip through the south, though he stated that it was very probable that he would visit this city later on in the fall.
 The committete, which consisted of Henry B. Gray, Chaplain Owen P. Fitzsimmons, pr. J. w. Hughes, R. F. Beasley, and c. T. Rainbow, and they were assisted in their work by Representative w. F. Aldrlch, of the Fourth district.
 The formal invitation was extended to the secretary of war to visit Birmingham by the committee yeserday morning after the review of the troops in Camp Shipp had taken place. But General Alger, through his private secretary, showed them that his itinery was entirely filled up during his present trip south, and that it would be impossible to spend even a few hours ,~ Birmingham.
 MT Gray and MT. Rainbow returned from Anniston yesterday at 11:2O, having left there before the invitation was formally presented. After the review was over, the party left on a special train for Atlanta arriving here at 1 o'clock. Representa- tive Aldrich and Dr. Hughes accompanied the party, leaving Chaplain Fitzsimmons and MT. Beasley behind to return to Bir- mingham
 MT. Gray said last night that while the committee had not accomplished. exactly what they had been sent for they had shown the secretary that Birmingham wanted to entertain him, and that he would be welcomed here.
The age-herald., 1898-09-25

gret that the state of affairs forced him to this conclusion ,as he has always said that nothing could give him more pleasure than to make a trip to the industrial metropolis of the south.
 Another Effort to be Made
 It is probable that even though the presl- dent has announced his intention, greater pressure will be brought to bear on spare a few days to take part in Birming- ham peace festival. The president will likely send his official reply to the invita- tion of the Birmingham committee in few days. It is being discussed whether would not then be advisable to form delegation of the south's most representa- tive and influential men to go to Washing ton and have a personal interview with him.
 The idea is advanced that probably the chief executive does not realize the demand that is made for his presence. The jubilee is not simply a Birmingham celebration. but one in which the entire south will take part. The press of Alabama and other states have joined in the movement, and 1t is thought possible that with the claims or the south properly placed before him that he will yet arrange to come.
 The jubilee will not be given up until an- other effort Is made to bring the president here. It is likely that a joint meeting or the committee will be held Monday or Mon day night to formulate plans for something of the kind to be done. As suggested by a gentleman last night, the committees should decide on this step before the presl- dent has finally arranged the plans for his trip.
 The different committees on arrangements have gone right along with their work, and the outlook for successful celebration is bright in every particular, hence the an- nonucement of the president is serious blow to the undertaking.

GAN ONLY VISIT THE WEST
WESTERN TRIP WILL BE SHORT

The Age-Herald's special Washington correspondent telegraphs that President southern peace jubilee proposed to be held in Birmingham during the month of No vember.
 The president has had before him the of- ficial invitation sent him by Robert J. Lowe, as chairman of the committee on invitations for a week. It is known that he has seriously considered the matter and that he has only made known his inten- tions after realizing that the press of busi- ness will make southern trip impossible during the autumn.
 The president has not fully decided the details of the trip which he is soon to make but he has decided with reluctance that a southern trip Is almost out of the question: He explains that he made trip through the south last year. and that his promise was given to go west this fall. He will not be able to visit both sections, and says he will be forced to curtail his tour even in the west on account of press ing business incidental to the settling up of war affairs and the sittings of the peace commission in Paris.
