London, Oct. 2S.-The South African
war has nov been in progress nearly
three weeks, and so far the British
arms have been consistently crowned
with momentary success, though at a
cost which verifies President Kruger's
prediction that the conflict would stag
ger humanity. But though victory has
fallen to Great Britain whenever and
wherever the issues We're of paramount
Importance. General Whites position
today is scarcely more reassuring than
at the outbreak of the war. So far he
has only shown his ability to outwit
by strategy the Beers strategy. That
in its conception meets high praise
from British military critics
Nok he appears to have reached
the limit of this game of
war by which he was able
to prevent the massing of the Boer col
umns, and must either meet the en-
emy's combined forces or retreat. Many
people think General-White should rest
content with the successes so far
achieved and fall back on Colenso,
pointing out that he appears to be fully
able to move his forces quickly and
without deterioration. 1t is scarcely
probable that he will follow this
course, preferring rather to hold Lady
smith, though against much superior
numbers, until reinforced. 1t is the
feeling that the general intends to fol- |
low the latter course, that creates un-
easiness. for victories over the Beers
units are not believed to indicate that
the same result can be achieved over
the Beers when massed.

THE GERMAN VIEW OF IT.


Berlin, Oct. 2S-The war news ar
rives here in a contradictory shape and
is often unintelligible. The comments
of most of the papers, irrespective of
party. is anti-British, and often
couched in a satirical and tauntfng
tone. The belief is general that Great
Britain, thus far, has got the worst of
the fight, but that the news is sup
pressed by cable censorship, the result
of which, it is argued. demonstrates
that it is necessary that Germany
should construct and operate cables,
for, in the present state of things with
Great Britain owning all the cables,
Germany in the event of war, will be
entirely in the power of Great Britain
as regards news. Hence, many papers
advocate the laying of a number of
German cables.
The Associated Press correspondent
learns on exceptional authority that
Germany has no idea of interfering
with Great Britain in South Africa

HOBsoN MAY MISS REWARD

Washington Correspondence of Memphis
Commercial-Appeal
Naval Constructor Richmond Pearson
Hobson may not receive any reward what
ever from the present congress for sinking
the Merrimac in the mouth of Santiago
harbor. Secretary Long told me this aft
ernoon that he was waiting upon congress
to pass the bill transferring Mr.. Hobson to
the line. Representative Pearson, of North
Carolina, Mr.. Hobsons uncle, who has
been pushing the measure, is out of the
city and will not return to Washington
until after the adjournment of congress.
As his inclinations favor transfer to the
line, 1t is looked upon as possible that he
VIII be willing to wait until the next ses-
sion of congress to pass the bill authorizing
the transfer. While Mr.. Hobson's kissing
episodes have done him some injury among
members of congress, it is generally under
stood that If the bill can be brought no
before the house it will be passed

The Compromise Army Bill.

The Hul-Hawley bill Is a good deal dis
the ring, and the ring rejoices. 1t gives
the president authority to fill up the various
staff departments with volunteer staff Of
ficers, to appoint 40 additional cadets each
year, and to officer thirty new regiments of
volunteers. There is a deal of patronage
of very valuable and telling sort in all
this, and the administration gains to some
extent the political and campaign power it
demanded.
But on the other hand, no permanent in
crease whatever of the regular army is
provided for. Regulars may be enlisted
up to 65, 600 men, and volunteers up to 25000
men, but no men can be retained after July
l, 1901 beyond the number of the regular
army before the war with Spain, or about
$1,000 men. In 1901 the country will know
how large an army it needs, and at that
time it can definitely and intelligently deter
mine what its army policy should be. The
settlement effected in the senate is proba-
bly, as good as conflicting opinions rendered
possible, and its adoption in the senate
doubtless renders unnecessary an extra ses-
sion.
The appropriation bills fourteen in num-
Der, are pretty well advanced. The pen
sion, the military academy and the consular
and diplomatic bills are laws Six of the
remaining eleven have passed both houses
namely, the legislative, executive and jul

numbered with the Nicaragua canal scheme.

BIRMINGHAM, THE IRON CITY

Editorial Correspondence of the York (Pa1
Dispatch.
Within a radius of twenty-five miles,
twenty-five iron furnaces are in full opera
ton. The adjacent hills are almost solid
iron, and in parallel stratas lie buried tons
inestimable of iron, coal and limestone.
Thus nature, by her bountiful provisions.
has laid at the door of Birmingham the
materials which at once make that city
the greatest iron producer in the world.
The contiguity of the raw materials en-
tering into the production of pig iron has
given Birmingham the title of 1.-THE Magic
City, Some of the greatest things on
earth are to be seen here. The figures
connected with the production of iron at
Birmingham are bewildering. During the
past year over s5,0OO,000 was invested in
new industrial enterprises. OF this amount
81 100000 was spent on the steel plant OF
the Alabama Steel and Ship Building COM
pany, and 100000 on the steel rod, nail
and wire mill of the Alabama Steel and;
Wire company. The steel mill, which will
soon be in operation. will produce LOCO
tons of steel billets per day, and the rod,
nail and wire mill will make 600 tons of
rods, nails and wire per diem. Here is also
found the largest iron furnace in the world
and largest cast iron pipe works on earth,
Over $50 tons day of cast iron pipes,
ranging as high as 72 inches in diameter,
are made. During 1898 over 900 tons Of
this pipe were shipped away. The ship
ments of Dig iron last year were nearly
100000 tons; oyer 100000 tons of coke
were produced, 100000 tons of coal were
mined, over 2,0O0, 900 tons of iron ore were
mined, 116,52O barrels of lime were pro-
duced, while the production of limestone
and dolomite was over half a million tons
These are but few of the astounding
figures Birmingham presents for the year
1899. But the growth of production is SO
rapid that these figures bid fair to be
doubled in 1899. These vast interests make
Birmingham a railroad center of no small
Importance, five great systems entering the
city The development of the resources of
the Birmingham district has caused rapid
increase of population and Birmingham and
immediate suburbs today claim rs 900 popu-
iation. The city Is beautifully laid out, Is
modern In appearance and bears an air of
prosperity seenin few tlties OF its size.
Its residents believe In the future OF their
town and the endowments OF nature, visi-
BILE on every side, corroborate their asser-
lions as to Birmingham's future greatness.

The People and the Convention.

County after county is deciding to elect
in beat primaries its representation in the
constitutional convention. Very few, If
any. counties will resort to the out-of-date
convention plan, which is simply abdication
by the people who should rule in favor of
to rule.
The controlling principle in all political
action should be this, the people should
have the widest desirable opportunities.
When direct action is inconvenient or I'M
desirable, representative action may be
brought in; but the people alone must de-
eide when they will permit indirect action.
No man, no clique or set of men, must be
permitted to decide against the sovereign
people. When an Orleans prince or Bona
partist attempts to seize the headship of
France, driving the people out of power
we call 1t usurpation, or some other strong
name, when In point of fact it is exactly
similar to and parallel with clique action
In an Alabama county when it attempts to
push aside the people themselves IN order
to steal the representation of the county.
In theory the cases are throughout alike,
and in practice they differ only in the
amount of gunpowder burned.
The people cannot guard too jealousy
their rights. Experience shows that bosses
and their subservent cliques can conquer
and control an American state. county or
city as readily as revolutionists can gain
control in the streets of Paris or in a
South American state. When primaries are
called every democrat should go to the
ballot box, and he should put into that
ballot box his convictions. and he should
then see that his convictions show on the
tally sheets.
The constitutional convention should be
above and beyond professional politicians
1t should be In the fullest and best sense
the people of Alabama. To make 1t fully
representative 1t should come direct from
the people, speaking in their primaries, and

some large orders are reported to have been
placed abroad, chiefly because Of the M
difference of American manufacturers to
the once eagerly sought for export demand.
From the south, however, advices are that
export demand keeps pace with recent
price advances pointing to a continued
hold upon the pig Iron export trade BY
southern makers. If activity In iron and
steel was confined to this country alone, the
situation as regards the export trade would
be rather clearer, but the fact is that there
is worldwide demand and activity In IRON
and steel, and recent estimates rate the
worlds production as the heaviest ever
known With unprecedented production
and consumption at home and ABROAD,
steadily advancing prices and the entry INTO
the situation of recent immense combina-
lions In various classes of products, 1t VIII
be seen the iron and steel situation can
easily lay claim to being most remarkaoie
one and one, also. deserving very close
watching.

STOCKHOLDERS WILL MEET
To Decide Upon the Disposition of the
Banks Assets.

Bessemer February 2S.-(Special)-It Is
announced that the stockholders of the
First National bank of this place, which
went out of business about three years ago,
will hold a meeting on the ith of April al

They consist of the bank ITSELF very
handsome building now bringing in hand
some rental; a number of tenement houses,
s24,0 900 worth of rolling mill stock, some
Bessemer Land and Improvement company,
etc.
The value of the assets has deprecated
so greatly that 1t is not believed the stock
holders will receive more than fifteen cents
on the dollar.
The bank commenced business on the list
day of January, 1888, and did a prosperous
business for many years, finally succumb-
ing to the pressure of hard times In 1893.
The bank did not fail, but merely went
ont of bysiness. nouidating all its indebt-
edness with the exception of few thous-
and dollars, which the assets will amply
cover with the additional per cent. for the
stockholders.
