moncos in honor of Carl Schurzs seventeen birthday

to Expansion and imperialism the permanent pol
icy of the United States fully than he has done 1t
is believed here that this address will be of unusual sgn
cance and it is thought in quarters that it will mark
the beginning of an attempt on the part Of Mr. Ceveands
friends to bring him back into public life.
Mr. Cleveland has been greatly moved by recent de-
veopments of the national policy and is well known, he
is bitterly opposed territorial expansion it is thought
probable that his opinions upon this point will lead him to
try to clause against imperialism inserted in the
Democratic platform of 1900 this succeeds it is believed

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Harry Corn
ish. on the witness stand at the Adams
inquest to-day, accused Roland b.
Molineux of having sent him the
poisoned bromo- settler. His story was
that he thought Molineux had sent him
the poison because he was the only man
who had shown great enrnity toward
him: that he had lied about him and
prosecuted him; that he had lied about
others in the club; that there was
enmity between Barnet and Molineux,
and that Molineux had started stories
ahout members of the Knickerbocker
Athletic Club.
The witness stated that Molineux,
being in a rival club, was Jealous OF
him. He declared that the Coroner
must search the athletic clubs of New
York City for the murderer OF Mrs.
Adams. He suspected Molineux of
having sent Kutnow powders to Bar
net. He testified that Mrs. Molineux's
statement that she had never been in
Rarnet's room alone was false. He
knew Of q person who had seen MIS-
Molineux and Barnet drinking wine In
the latter's room when no other person
was present
witness stated that Molineux was
his bitter enemy and the only man who
could have a motive for wishing to take
his life. Cornish was very earnest in
testifying and contradicted much he
said when he was first examined by
the Coroner.
Cornish was asked several times to
give the names of the men who had told
the stories that he repeated about
Molineux. He said that he could not
remember them all, but had no doubt
these men would come forward and
substantiate his story as soon as they
heard he had told it.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Herald teie-
eraphs: Germany has intimated to the
Tinted States her disapproval OF the
course pursued by Chief Justice Cham-
hers and her wish that he should be
removed. -
Beyond this she has not gone, despite
the report published this morning I'M
der Berlin date that she had de-
msnded his recall. The State Depart
ment is considering these 1ntimatlons.
and should Germany recall ConsuI
Rose. as she has done Herr Ra11el. anu
make disavowal for the conduct Oh ner
agents, there is no doubt that the
wishes of the Berlin Government would
be consulted with respect to Cher JUS
tfce Chambers. But so far as that ON
calls decision is concerned 1t Will De
upheld unless the department should
receive reports very different from
those in it's possession
There has been no important new de-
yeIopment in the Samoan situation Tor
some days, nor DO the autnor I've ~
pect any until the arrival OF the next
mail from Apia. 1t is then expected
that they will learn that the Philadel-
mia has reached Samoa and that Rear
Admiral Kautz is cooperating with the
Consuls in preserving peace, and maxi
ing an investigation of the conduct of
several officers in Apia. Germany and
England, like the United States. are
not at all excited over the situation.
and the officials assert their confidence
that the affair will be terminated
peacefully and satisfactorily.
VANCOUVER, B. c., Feb. 23.-Aus-
tralian papers which arrived here to-
day on the steamer Miowera print the
following letter from Chief Justice
| Chambers of Samoa to Captain Sturdy
! of II. M. S. Porpoise, who took prom
inent part in the recent trouble in
Samoa:
Nothing that you have done since the
events in Samoa brought us so close to-
gether has been a surprise to US. They
were simply acts of a undetermined man
and an English gentleman To me, with
nv etes open to 1t all. 1t has been a mar
vel that in the midst of the whirlwind
of events requiring patience, skill and
courage you have been able to command
fectly. If the officers and men of the
Porpoise are a sample Of the English
navy then / want to be convert to the
principles Of Anglo-Saxon alliance, not
from motives of policy, but because l see
that behind the power of your ships there
is stronger moral power for the uplift-
ing of the human race. We are liked in
our faith that the English-American al
lance is an expression of human freedom
unusual prosperity and the ultimate po-
litical millennium throughout the world

father, Hon. A. s. Cleghorn, Prince David

friends that she will be compelled to leave
the islands for the south of France to
effect a radical cure. The pains were so
excruciating that 1T was found necessary
to move the Princess in hand filters in
stead Of by the customary conveyance.
Prince Cupid Kalanianaole met with a
very serious accident at Huehue. Hawaii,
on the 9Th inst His horse stumbled,
threw and fell upon him and kicked him
on the arm and near the abdomen. His
condition was thought to be so serious
that the steamer Iwallani was specially
chartered for a medical man and close
friends to proceed to Kailua to bring
him to Honolulu. On his arrival here,
on the 18th, the injuries were found to be
serious, but giving no cause for alarm,
unless abscess on the liver supervened.

MONTGOMERY POOL BILL
Slipped Through House on Monday
Tried to Recall 1t Yesterday.

Montgomery, February 7-(Special)-
Montgomery had little scrap of its own
before the house this afternoon. Two years
ago the legislature passed a bill to prohibit
pool selling in the county of Montgomery.
bill was introduced by Representative
Bibb some time ago to repeal this act, and
it has stirred up a good deal of local inter-
est. Although the Montgomery delegation
is solidly in favor of opening the pool rooms
again, the ministers and some other citizens
of Montgomery are making vigorous pro-
test The bill has already been defea.ed
once by the present legislature, but IL was
introduced again.
The Joke occurred yesterday afternoon
when a whole crush of local bills were
rushed through. This bill was slipped
through and the old act repealed with only
a very few members knowing what 1t was
about. Today when those members who
had intended voting against the bill found
that II had passed they raised a big fight
Heflin, of Chambers, moved that the rules
be suspended and the senate be requested
to return the bill to the house in order that
certain members who had voted for the bill
under a misapprehension might correct
their votes
Miller of Marengo, said he wouldn't know
pool" if he met it on the road, but that
he was in favor of local self-government,
and If the representatives from Montgom-
cry "wanted to break their necks, l am In
favor of assisting them"
Representative Bibb, of Montgomery,
made a glowing description of the horse
races of the fairs in the fall of the year,
after the crops are all gathered, and re-
ferred to 1t as the greatest spot on earth.
On request of some of the members he
exclaimed what pool selling was.
The vote to suspend the rules and send
10 the senate after the bill was then taken,
40 voting aye and q no. AS Sc votes were
the necessary four-fifths of the votes cast,
the motion was lost, and Montgomery will
have its pool selling, unless the senate sees
fit to kill the bill.

GREATER JEFFERSON"
Bill introduced in Legislature to Aant x
Some of Shelby County.

Montgomery, February 7.-(Special.)-
Greater Jefferson" is another issue that
was sprung simultaneously on the senate
and house this afternoon. There are
number of farmers living on the edge Of
Shelby county about eight miles from Biz
minSham who want to be annexed to Jeffer-
son. These farmers number about sixty,
and represent about that number of farms.
Ihey argue that they are 30 close to Biz
mingham and have such good roads TO that
city that 1t is unjust TO make them go all
the way to Cofumbiana, the county scat of
Shelby, over poor roads, to pay their taxes
and attend to other business, and for this
reason they want to be annexed.
The bill requires that the boundary line
between the two counties be changed so as
to run as follows:
Beginning at point where the range line
between range and 2 west of the Hunts
vile meridian crosses Little or East Ca
haba, run thence south along said range to
the township line between townships IS and
10, thence east along said township line to
top of Oak mountain thence in northeast
erly direction along the top or crest of said
Oak mountain to the jefferson county line.
1t is understood that Shelby's represen-
tatiyes will oppose this bill.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Undeci' Aen Bill Will be Reported
to the Senate

Montgomery, February 7-(Special. 1.-The
Jeff rson 90 Inty commissioners court bill
is receiving much con sideratio by the sen
ators. The bill Is still in the hands of the
senate committee, and just when they will
report 1t is not known. There will be no
effort to kill the bill in the committee. It
has been charged that every member of the
committee to which the bill was referred is
opposed to it, Whether this be true or not
the bill will be brought before the senate.
Senator Cunningham said this morning that
he had no intention of having the bill killed
in the committee. AS previously stated, a
member can have bill taken from the ad-
verse report and placed on the calendar
in the senate.
There is considerable doubt now as to
whether the house bill will be amended in
the senate. The house bill provides that
the governor shall appoint board of rev.
enue consisting of five members to serve
out the unexpired term of the court of COM
miSsioners to be abolished. 1t is known
that the governor would not oppose an
amendment to have the successors of the
board appointed by him elected at the con-
stitutional convention election to be held
in July, the elected board to qualify and 10
into office at the expiration of the fiscal
year, octopef 1, ioSS lHls Wouiu enable
the appointed board to make showing for
their work.
Senator Cunningham has not agreed even
to this amendment. He says that he will
offer an amendment to the bill providing
that the successors to the governors ap-
pointees be elected at special election to
be called within ninety days after the pas
sage of the act, the board thus elected to
assume office at once. This does not suit
the friends of the measure for reasons
stated above.
1t cannot be definitely stated tonight
when the bill will reach the senate but 1t
win probably be some day this week. There
will be a hot time in the senate when the
bill comes up.

Judge Feagin had large docket on his
hands yesterday, but the cases were of
minor Importance and soon disposed of.
The seven men who assaulted the negro
at Hentschels saloon were arraigned for
trial, but no proof could be brought against
them and all but two were turned loose
Lille Simon, charged with ARRAY, was the
next case for trial and she was fined $40. 1t
seems, that Lille, who occupies apart

Lille had to take $40 out of her savings
Henry Elliott was next fined $3.50 for the

Greenville. Ala. February 7.-(SpeciaL)-
The residence of Mrs. M L. Foster was
partially destroyed by fire yesterday. The
flames had gained much Roadway before
the fire laddies arrived, and none of the
contents of the building were saved. The
fire is supposed to have been caused by a
defective flue. Both building and furniture
were insured.
For the past few days the weather has
been unusually warm, and many peach trees
are blooming out, giving things somewhat
spring-like appearance. It coptinues to
rain moro or less, every day or two, and
as g consequence farm work is much be-
hind in this section.
