the only thing the, proposed law would accom-

Question.

San Francisco, March S-Dr. John Raffel,
Apia, arrived here today on tho steamer
Alameda. To an Associated Press repre-
sentative DR.. Raffel said that when he left
Samoa everything was tranquil, and that
the Mataafa government was recognized as
the provisional government by the three
leading powers, and 1t had the support of
90 per cent. of the native population, and a
majority of the foreign population.
1.-THE German CONSUL" said Mr.. Raffel,
could not enforce the decision of the SUI
preme court because he believed that the
decision was in opposition to the customs
of the Samoan people and the Samoan gov
eminent, and that pending Instructions
from the home government, he could not
seek to enforce it, particularly when it was
so obnoxious to so large a number of the
Samoan people ass l-as'f

Will Open Festivities of
Carnival Week.
A BRILLIANT BALL TO FOLLOW
The Floral Fete-Public Meeting Called
for Tonight at The Morris-Prizes
Will Be Awarded for the
MostAttractive Traps.
BY ANNIE KENDRIcK WALKER

The preliminary meeting of the promoters
of the floral parade was held yesterday
morning at the residence of Mrs. Jack w.
Johnston. The parade was discussed in
formally by the enthusiastic women pres
ent and plans were formulated that will be
submitted at the public meeting which has
been called for tonight in the parlors of the
Morris. 1t was suggested yesterday that
the floral parade take place the first week
in May opening the festivities of the gay
carnival week and that the floral fete be
followed by a brilliant ball in the evening
A king will be chosen, probably by ballot,
and to him will be left the selection of
Queen Flora. There were several we'll
known clubmen spoken of yesterday, either
of whom would make popular kings. The
voting will be arranged at a convenient
place for the public, and the nominal sum
of 10 cents will be charged for each vote.
The proceeds will be appropriated to de-
fray the expenses of the floral arches I'M
der which the beautiful procession will
pass. Following the hower-bedecked trap
of the king and queen will be a trap SUI
perbly decorated and containing four maids
of honor. These two floral equippages will
Immediately precede the line of traps that,
too, will be gorgeously decorated with the
vivid blossoms that reach such perfection
under southern skies.
The parade will be elaborate and beauti-
full, and will be pre-eminently the notable
feature Of the carnival week. The decora-
ton of the various traps is the talk at
present among many society women, and
number of beautiful designs have already
been selected
Handsome prizes will be awarded for the
most beautifully decorated single and
double traps.
AT the informal meeting 1t was decided
to call the public meeting tonight, and it
is urged that all those who own traps or
who will procure traps for the parade will
be present at the meeting tonight, which
will be held at $3.50 o'clock in the parlors
of the Morris.

The Local situation

1t is seldom that Birmingham is not in 1t,
but this is one of the occasions that she
has been left out in the cold The above
special from Mobile, which states that at
the meeting held in that city last night a
telegram was received from Birmingham
to the effect that 1.-THE city was solid, and
would have her deposit money ready when
called for" will no doubt prove a surprise
to the local promoters of the Great Amer
lean Sport" who have made several futile
attempts to organize club,
The failure has been due Principally to
the fact that little faith was placed in the
movement to organize league, as well as
to the uncertainty and the delay in hearing
from the last years officers who were at
the head of the movement.
II they mean business there is little doubt
but that strong local association can be
formed that will put Halter and his men
in the lsaxue.

BIRMINGHAM LEFT OUT.
Meeting of the Southern League Held
at Mobile.

Mobile, March 8.-(Special.)- South
ern League was organized tonight at a
meeting held in this city. the following
magnates being present: President Pow
ers, Abner Powell, of New Orleans; Ted
Sullivan, of Montgomery; s. Calm, of
Shreveport, La. and Thomas E. Smith and
Jack Huston, of Mobile.
AS organized the league consists of New
Orleans, Mobile, Montgomery and Shreve-
port, although 1t was announced officially
that Birmingham and Dallas, Tex, would
enter within few days. Birmingham was
not represented at the meeting tonight,
but a telegram received stated that she
was solid and would have her deposit
money ready when called for. Ted Sullivan
will visit Birmingham in day or two to
close the matter. 1t is almost positively
known that the league will consist of six
clubs, and possibly Galveston and Houston
will be admitted, making an eight-club
league.
The season will open on April 49, and will
last about four and one-half months. An
other meeting will be held in New Orleans
on March 10, when final arrangements will
be effected 1t will then be decided definite
ly how many clubs will be in the league.
The schedule committee, consisting of
Messrs. Powell and Sullivan, will meet on
March 10. Every city will have local I'M
pire who will officiate in the absence of
the regular umpire. In the absence of both
two players will umpire the game. Presi-
dent Powers offered Peter Driscoll, of this
city, position as umpire, and is thinking
of appointing Fred Graves, of Memphis,
Mahoney, of Montgomery, and Others The
president was authorized to core pond
with Reach and Spaulding regarding balls
for the season. To Tho Age-Herald CORE
spondent he said tonight that there was
every indication that the league would sur
vive the season and make money for every
club.
2 The meeting was characterized by perfect
unanimity, every person present appearing
to have a desire to save the league at the
expense of personal interest.
