Frank OBrien is highly indignant.
and Justly so. Frank is the night chief
of police. and doesn't have to work in
the daytime if he doesn't want to- But
Frank is an accommodating sort of a
fellow and doesn't mind coming around
in the afternoon and showing the day
men how to do police work. The other
day Frank was around in the after
noon and he had occasion to arrest a
very notorious woman of the Northern
addition. Frank started off to Jail with
her. When they reached the corner of
Commercial avenue and Main street the
woman said:
Say. won't you walk on the other
side of the street? l don't like to have
people see me on the street with you
Just what Frank said is a matter of
conjecture, but the woman walked to
Jail with him, and it was noticed that
she walked with more vigor in her step
than before she made that unfortunate
remark.

AMERICAN GOODS IN RUSSIA
Our Manufacturers Are Making Rapid
 Gains Over Competitors

Washington, December 29.-(Special)- American goods, and especially American manufacturers, are making rapid gains in popularity in Russia. This fact is shown not only by the increased total of our ex- ports to that country, but by the warnings which the consular representatives of oth- CT nations in Russia are sending to their home governments respecting the popular aty of American goods and the success CT American merchants in their business methods. British consuls in Russia have recently sent to their government d series of statements upon this subject. copies of which have just been received by the treasury bureau of statistics, and from which the following extracts are taken
 The British consul at Kieff, in his report says: While Germany is talked about as our greatest rival in the markets of the world, there does not seem to be the same attention paid to the rapidly developing competition of America. The <trides Amer ica is making are startlingly apparent in the foreign trade. The agricultural ma chinery trade is practically controlled by America, the trade in duplex and other steam pumps is more or less American, the introductionAof improved machine tools is due to America, which is now reaping the benefit of practical ideas combined with utility, and now the supply of fixed steam engines to the foreign markets is being energetically pushed.
 The British consul at Odessa writes: Cycles of English make are held in high esteem. but they are distanced by Ameri- can machines. Our cousins across the At lantic can supply good cycles 40 per cent. cheaper than those of English make, and can therefore easily undersell the latter. The reason of this difference in price is to be found in the foct that the American bicycles have many of those parts cast which in English machines are turned. The German cycles have good reputation for durability, and consequently, though little cheaper than English machines, have fair sale" A. W. B.

CRUISERS VISIT CREATES COMMENT The Montgomery's Visit to
 Africa Suspicious. HOOKING AFTER LIBERIA" It is Thought That England and United States Intend Making Joint
 Request of France to Define
 Her Boundary
HOOKING AFTER LIBERIA"

London, December 29.-It has been learn ed by a representative of the Associated Press that the United States cruiser Mont gomery's visit to Liberia is apparently the result of overtures made to Washington by that republic. Though the British gov ernment is in complete ignorance of the purpose of the Montgomery's mission, the establishing of coaling station in Liber- ria by the United States is regarded as scarcely probable, as, it is asserted, no Iiberian port has any facilities for coal ing, all of them being open and surf bound.
 The Associated Press representative learns, however, that a far more important step is under consideration. It consists in a joint request of tine United States and Great Britain upon France to define the boundary between the territory she claims and that claimed by Liberia. This step is not yet decided upon, but Great Britain on- ly awaits the United States assent to be- come a party to such a request.
 It is alleged that France, for many years has been encroaching on Liberia, and it was only by a strenuous protest of the United States that she was prevented from approprlatng a large slice of Liberia in 1892
 According to the Hon. Arthur Pensonby, managing director of tine Liberia Rubber syndicate which recently guaranteed the interest of Liberia's public debt, the Mont gomery's visit was probably prompted by a desire to ascertain the extent. of French activity MT. Ponsonby said to prere- sentative of the Associated Press:
 "Bishop Hartsell, while in Monrovia this year, strongly urged the government to in- terest the United States in preserving the boundaries with the result that Liberia ap- poined a mission to Washington. I be- lieve it has already made representations and presume, the commander of the Mont gomery investigated both this and the pos- sibility of coaling station. The latter Liberia would gladly lease to the United States. but beyond hoisting her flag upon it. it would be of little service.
 '.The feeling among British subjects com- me.rcially interested in Liberia, is that the republics progress had better be under the protection of either Great Britain or the United States But both the British gov ernment and those having interests there believe that So long Liberia can continue to struggle on in her present condition, everything possible should be done to sup port her"
 Liberia decorated MT. Ponsonby this week with the Order of African Redemption, in recognition of his services against en- croachments.

Naval officials Will Not Talk

Washington, December 29.-Although the naval officials will make no statement re- specting the cruise of the Montgomery to West Africa, it is admitted that the ship was there in the early fall returning to her sta tion at Buenos Ayres about the 1st of last November.
 These dates in themselves may be re- garded as sufficient to dispel any impress sion that the cruise was in any manner connected with the war between the Brit ish and the Boers. As to the real ob- jects of the cruise, it is believed that the navy department had its eye upon a possi- ble coaling station on the west coast, as is indicated in the foregoing dispatch.
 Before. and during the civil war the United States had no less than three coal ing stations on that coast. They were practically abandoned when the West Afri- can station was dropped from tine list, but ti,e chief of the equipment bureau. Admiral Bradford, has strongly urged that they be re-eetablished so as to ensure our naval vessels source of coal supply when passing from the eastern Atlantic states around to the Philippines and China in the event that the Suez canai should be closed against them.

 GREETED BRYAN Finance, Trusts and Expansion Were the Subjects Discuss
 ed at San Antonio.

San Antonio, Tex, December 29.-To the largest audience that ever faced a public speaker in a Glall in this city, Hon. William J. Bryan tonight made speech on the is- sues of the day. NIT. Bryan was intro duced by Frank H. BusEick of the local democratic committed Finance. trusts and expansion were the topics that Mir. Bryan discussed. He stated that the dem ocratic platform for the coming campaign would be the Chicago platform of 1896, with the addition of such blanks as recent industrial combines and the late war neces- stated. He spoke at length on the money question, but made no mention of ratio, Gis remarks dealing principaiy with the subject of bimetallism in general Speaking of expansion, Colonel Bryan said that it was clearly the duty of this country to establish stable government in the Phil ippines and then turn the government over to the inhabitants Of the islands.
 Mir Bryan leaves tomorrow for the north, where he will fdl a number Of engage ments, and then return to Austin to spend the remainder of the winter in Texas.

against Morgan. There was a great ma chine. They had got to meet that machine and smash it. The fight in Jackson and other counties that have acted was as snowflake The mastering storm was to come, and the mastering victory for Nor gan. The lines between Morgan and John ston must be distinctly drawn. Every man must make known how he stands. There must be work, work, work! And Morgan would succeed Morgan.
 c. W. Hooper, of Dallas, declared that every county in the state was represented in the meeting. Men who were not bodily there were present in spirit. He had pocket full of telegrams and letters. One telegram of ardent support from Perry county was signed by forty-eight good men; there was another telegram from Marengo signed by twenty-four sen; and 50 the story ran. That was enough.
 E. W. Barnett, of Jefferson, said that something had been spoken about sacrifice. There was no sacrifice. Those who were present were simply doing their duty to themselves, to their party and to the state. They were there to perfect thorough or ganization. He had letter from Senator Morgan saying that the senator would be in Alabama shortly. This fight was not for Morgan; but for the best interest of the state. He had never doubted Morgan's reelection, because he never had doubted that the supporters of Morgan and the democratic organization would do their duty. Work was required-hard and con- stant work!
 Time for Business
 R. N. Rhodes, of Jefferson, declared that n1to tiy,,a fAr oJ,y olytr hut a time for business. He was afraid that valuable time would be wasted. The call was to battle for the right, for the party, the state, the country; for sincerity of pur- pose. Morgan hadn't got a walk-over. He was opposed by one of the most willy poli- ticians the state has ever known. Every Morgan man in Alabama must do his duty; all Morgan men must organize. Morgans defeat would be a shame and crime.
 Joel Barnett, of Montgomery said that there were fourteen beats of that county safe for Morgan, and the county was safe for him. He was in position to speak for Pike and Bullock, and also for Autauga. All three counties are for Morgan. He asked an Autauga man how that county was on the senatorship. The answer was "How is Dallas?"
 Richard Adams, of Morgan, declared that no matter what had been said to the contrary, Morgan county was for Morgan. John Epster, of Morgan, declared that Morgan was four to one for Senator Nor gan.
 J. c. Nicholson, of Etowah, reported a Morgan club of 500 members in that coun- ty; and his native county of DeKalb was for Morgan.
 w. H. Stanley, of Jefferson, said that Jefferson county was as sure for Morgan as Dallas was, if the Morgan men would simply do their duty. There were 1,5O0 to,

Foreign Consulate Giving Aid

London, December 3o.-The Times has a later dispatch from Lorenzo Marquee, dat ed December 2S, which says:
 "The suspicion that the Boer intelligence department is in close touch with a foreign consulate in Pretoria is confirmed by the fact that the news of the appointment of Lord Roberts as commander-in-chi in South Africa was generally known in Pre- toria on December 20, indirectly reaching Delagoa Bay from the Transvaal two days later. Suspicion rests upon a consul who is notorious for his British sympathies. There is reason to believe that Pretoria Is kept well informed with regard to British milf tary movements. With reference to the ru- mors of smuggling contra aband, it is signid- cant that Major Erasmus of the Free State artillery is here, his arrival being coinci- dent with that of the French liner Con- sidering the freedom with which the Trans vaal secret service fund is spent, consider able mischief may foe done unless cargoes are inspected by British searchers who uu- derstand foreign bills of laden

 IMPORTANT MOVE SEEMS IMMINENT Gen. Butler Expected to Renew His Attempt BOERS WILL BE PREPARED Have Retired to the North Bank $ of the Tugela.
IRE CLOSING IN ON LADYSMITH
It is Known That Artillery is to Arrive for General Butler, But it is Be. lieved His Forces Will
 Then be Too Weak

London, December 3O-(5 a. m)LThe latest special dispatches from Chevley camp hint darkly at some important move- ment as imminent. This is interpreted with some misgivngs to mean that General Butler contemplates a renewal of his att tempt to relieve Ladysmth.
 It Is reported by the same dispatches that. the Boers have now retired to the north bank of the Tugela, being afraid the swollen stream may bar their retreat. They are also moving their laagers nearer Lady, smith, probably with the intention of put ting further pressure on the garrison, which now seems to be suffering pretty heavily from bombardment.
 It is difficult, however, to conceive that General Butler would make another frontal attack, especially now that the river is ris- ing and an additional indication that this is not his purpose is the fact that he has removed his headquarters back to Frere. The Boer movement northward from the Tugela is quite in keeping with the ens- my's usual plan of securing a safe line of retreat.
 1t is known that further artillery is due to arrive for General Butler, but the belief is that his forces even then will be too weak. He may, however, be animated by a desire to accomplish something before the arrival of Lord Roberts and to satisfy the keenness of his men to retrieve their de- feat.
 The reported engagement with Kaffirs is very vague, and cannot be explained pend- ing the arrival of later dispatches
 The Earl of Mount Edgecomb, brother-in- law of Lord Lansdowne, says the war office would countenance a scheme to enroll vol- unteers in a sort of preparatory stage in order to learn drills and the like.

Cargoes Dwindling

London, December 3O-The Times has the following, dated December 20, from Loren- 20 MarqueZ:
 "Cargoes for the Transvaal have dwin- ded to one-fifth of the average, but large shipments are expected from Europe. In the meantime there are persistent rumors here and in Durban that guns and ammu- nition are smuggled through for the Boers. A French liner now is in the harbor and is said to have brought two large guns from Madagascar.
 "The head of the customs, however, as- sures me that there is no ground for such rumors. All goods, he says, are dischars- ed, examined and dispatched by daylight. So great is the stringency that even sad- dies and horse shoes are not delivered to local importers except in small lots and un- der written guarantees. The same precau- tions are taken with reference to all con- traIband articles. Of course, much depends upon the competence and incorruptlbility of suDordinates."

been willing and even anxious that the station on its coast should be kept if only as manifestation of the interest of the United States in the colony it created and protect by our moral influence against European aggression. The British concep- ton of the object of the Montgomery's visit to Africa, therefore, may be entirely within the line of probability as intended not only to afford us a good coaling station where one is badly needed but also to exhibit to other nations our natural interest in the negro colony founded by Americans.
