SENATOR MORGAN REPLIES.
Takes the Governor of Alabama Severely
to Task

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. Ex-senator
John T. Morgan has replied to the open
letter of Governor Johnston, charging
that certain indirect statements made
concerning his Gohnston's) connection
with the university land scandal upon
the floor of the United States senate
We're untrue. The reply severely criti-
cises the governors action with the con-
nection of sales of valuable mineral
lands of the state university to the
Sloss- Sheffield Steel & Iron company.
1t continues in part:
You have attempted to put my state
ment in false and garbled way SO that
you could make a denial of all you
either invented or profess to have heard
that have said in the senate, knowing
that you could not deny what I did
say
After quoting from the record the
words used in reference to the Ala
bama corporations seeking the protec-
tion of the laws of New Jersey, Senator
Morgan continues:
THE charge is distinct and unambig-
uouS that you owned or had owned
large amount of stock in an Alabama
corporation. one of several that sold
their property of every kind to the New
Jersey company, and that this Alabama
corporation leads the procession in a
monster monopoly that had to leave
Alabama to find home and shelter in
New Jersey. You cannot misunder-
stand this charge, nor can any honest
man misunderstood it. And as | stated
in the senate, you know that it is strict
ly true"
In conclusion Senator Morgan says:
You doubtless felt very strong in your
supposed ability to rule the state by
the machinery in your hands, but very
recent lessons should admonish you
that you are also subject to the power
of the laws, state and national and
you cannot press your defiant contempt
of the rights of the state and the peo-
pie to complete success"

MYSTERIOUS MOVEMENTS.
Two Men Probably Drowned in Niagara's
Whirlpool.

Buffalo, N. Y, Dec. 25.-A special to
the Express from Niagara Falls says:
This evening two young men, whose
names are unknown, We're driven to
the cliff above the promenade at the
whirlpool rapids on the Canadian side
of the river and We're lowered to the
promenade. The men did not return
in an hour and search was made for
them. No trace of them could be
found, and the police We're notified.
Foot prints of the two men in the snow
were followed to the extreme end of
the promenade toward the whirlpool.
Farther along. the bank there were
signs Of a body having fallen in the
snow and the foot prints of only one
man could be discovered. Owing to the
darkness the search had to be discon-
tinued. but men are stationed along
the river on the watch for the appear
ance of either Of the men. The police
are inclined to look on the mysterious
affair as a case of murder and sui
eide or double suicide.

STRIKES IN FRANCE.

One Hundred Thousand Workmen AT
fected by Them.
Paris, Dec. 25.--At meeting of $500
miners held to-day in st. Etienne res
olution was adopted in favor of declar
ing a general strike in the coal basin
OF the Loire tomorrow similar
movement involving $4,000 men is
feared. The prosperity of the coal
trade led the rfffngnB to demand an in
crease in wages, shorter hours and
formal recognition of the Miners Fed
GRAFTON by the companies. The latter
made an offer of 5 per cent. increase,
but this was refused.
To-day's decision was reached amid
cries of "Vive la grieve." Disorders
are anticipated; already there have
been slight disturbances, particularly
last evening, when the miners went in
procession through the streets of ST.
Etienne singing the ''Carmagnole."
Twelve thousand five hundred lace
workers are on strike at st. Etienne for
higher wages. Their idleness involves
that of $4,000 other dependent work
men, making. with the miners if rhe
coal strike spreads as is expected,
nearly 100000. Moreover, a number of
factories and works will soon be COM
PEELED to close owing to the coal short
age.

San Jacinto, Dec. PA disastrous
earthquake occurred at 4:25 this morn
ing. Nearly every two-story building
was wrecked and it is estimated that
the damage will aggregate more than
1000. The main shock was preceded
by a loud roaring and awakened many
just in time to escape from the doomed
buildings. The business street was
such a wreck that tons of debris had to
be removed before buildings could be
entered.
At Saboba Indian reservation six
squaws were killed by falling walls, two
were fatally and many seriously in
jured. The shock caused dry artesian
wells to flow larger streams than ever
before. Considerable damage is report
ed in nearby villages.

ST. Paul, Dec. 25.--A Hastings, Mimi,
special dispatch says nearly three
blocks of buildings in the business por-
tion of town, principally fronting on
Vermillion street, We're burned early
to-day, with a loss of about 5000, 0O0
The fire broke out in r. c. Libby &
Co.'S sawmill, evidently the work of
an incendiary, and the entire plant,
with planning mills. store houses, lum-
Der office, sheds, etc, was consumed.
One million and a half feet of upper
grade lumber We're also burned, A
strong northwest wind was blowing
and the flames spread rapidly. Most
of the buildings burned were only par
TALLY insured and the loss to the own
ers will fall heavily.
The city seeming in imminent dan
ger Mayor Busch wired the mayor of
st. Paul for aid. and as soon as pos
sible two steamers and supply wagons
We're sent, which materially aided in
subduing the spread of the flames.
Many people are thrown out of en-
ployment and others are rendered
homeless

White Man Kills Il Negro Who Was Rails
ing Cain.

Laramie, Wyo., Dec. GA negro
named Lucius Miller, employed at the
Union Pacific grading camp on the
Hanna-Dana cutoff, armed himself
with pitchfork yesterday and swear
ing he would kill every man in camp,
started on his mission. He cracked
the heads of several graders and was
having everything his own way When
he went to the contractors supply wag-
ons, where he met Roy Peadleton, a
white man. Pendleton watched his
chance; he drew mis- revolver and fired
full in the negro's face. Miller fell to
the ground, mortally wounded and died
not long afterwards. No arrest was
made, as the shooting appeared TO have
been in Self-defense.
