BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT.
Mr.. IseIin Thinks He
Will Win.
Mr.. Upton Has a Corner An Ready
for the Cup.
Experts Think There Is
Little To Choose.
A Good Stiff Breeze Looked for
Today.

New York, October 6-This has been
q day Of rest on board the inter natioual
racers. The Columbia was towed from
Sandy Hook 60 Bay Ridge to get ner out
of any danger from the northsasier. The
Shamrock remained at her anchorage at
the hook, her people being willing To
take the chances The wind blew up
pr' tty fresh about six O'Clock but there
wa nothing to threatsn harm to a yncht,
9 well protsctel by tenders and tugs, to
say nothing of the powerful Erin. The
feeling on both sides is one of confidence.
MIR. Iselin thinks ne viii win. Sir Ihom-
as has a nice little corner in the Erin all
ready for tho cup. The public is in
doubt and it must be said there Is a feel
ing of indeoision among expert yachts
men The two days of drifting have fur
nished almost nothing on which to base
opinion. Thty have, however. sesmsd
TO strengthen the belief that the sham
rook Is thoroughly dangerous proposi-
tion. This is now u well grounded opin-
it n and II thu two days of light airs have
done anything they have shaken that con-
among the hackers of the Columbia.
Those who have watched most closely
every movement cf the two yachts are
firm in the belief that there Is little tO
choose between them In drift and when
it is remembered that the Shamrock peo-
pie have never asserted that she WAS q
drifter, 1t can readily be understood that
! there Is reason for the ris3 In the sham
rock stock.
Twice In the two days of racing there
have been times when both Eaebts were
sailing under exactly similar conditions
for an hour after the start, on Tuesday
and for like length OF time after the
start on Thursday. Both were sailing
dead before light wind with the same
spread OF canvas. On Tuesday the Sham
rock drew away from the Columbia. On
Thursday the Columbia drew away from
the Shamrock. No one can draw lines
on the racers from this. and it can safely
be said that the only change that has
taken place Is one that tends to increase
the doubt.
1t now looks as though the first race
to a finish would come In coed stiff
breeza At sundown the wind was blow
ing hard from the north. The weather
was clearing and there were good signs
of pretty hard Northwestern in the
morning. II it comes, the world will see
the greatest struggle for yachting su-
premany in the history of international
racing.

The common school fund received

This shows that out of the privilege

IN 1888 only twenty one thousand
dollars was allowed for pensions to
disabled confederate soldiers. Acts

is seventy-five thousand dollars. Acts
1893, p. Al. Would Mr.. Smith and
his co adjutors deny this small pittance
to these needy soldiers who sealed
their patriotism with their blood

ground from their bare feet, in order
to reduce the tax? When | was in the
constitutional convention | urged that
by constitutional provisions every one
of these soldiers and widows should
receive pens on of seventy-fve dol
lars year, at least, and | am still of
the same opinion. In 1889 less than
ninety thousands dollars was paid out
of the general fund for public schools
In 1898 nine hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars was paid out of the gen
eral state fund for common schools
Do Mr.. Smith and his co-dajutors
want to stop the common schools? In
1889 the boards of supervisors were
required to levy school tax of mills
or mere. See Acts, 1889, p II, sec
tion 70. In 1898 tie boards of super
visors did not levy school tax. And

ABOUT LOBBYING.

Mr.. Smith said some one told some
gentleman that he paid one OF my
brothers $3.50 to lobby for the Wealth

names Of the gentlemen whom the
same one told. Like the fellow who
said he saw man throw an elephant
over the fence and if you didn't be-
lieve it he could show you the elephant.

heard of it before. He doesn't desig-
nate any one of my brothers. Walter
MeLaurin wrote to Mr.. Weathers and
asked him if he had paid any one Of
NV brothers and he emphatically said
he had not, and his letter was pub
lished. 1t is shocking to an attorney
of the Y. & M. V. railroad company
that one should receive a fee to lobby
with the legislature. And yet a great

The STATE BANQUET
A BRILLIANT AFFAIR
Her Majesty Sat Behind Gold
Plate of fabulous Price.
A GORGEOUS ASSEMBLAGE
Mrs. James H. Choate the Only Diplo-
mats Wife Present The Hall
Was Filled With Members
of Royal Families

Windsor, Eng, November 21.-The state
banquet which was held this evening in ST.
Georges hall, was an unusually brilliant
affair. Queen Victoria sat at the center of
a long table, at either end of which was
specially constructed sideboards on which
were piled gold plate against crimson
background to height of fifteen feet.
A special train conveyed the guests to
Windsor, arriving here at O'Clock in the
evening and returning after the banquet.
Mrs. Joseph Fl. Choate, wife of the Amer
lean ambassador, was the only diplomats
wife present at the function. Lord Sails
bury could not attend. owing to the death
of his wife yesterday
The guests numbered 49, including all the
members of the British royal family and
the visiting royalties, the United States
and other ambassadors, Count Won Buelow
and the whole of Emperor Williams suite,
all the members of the German embassy
in London with the exception of Count Won
Hatzfeldt- Wildenburg, the German am
bassador, who is ILL., the members of the
British cabinet, Lord Roseberry and the
other members of his late cabinet, the Off
GERS of the imperial yacht Hohenzollern
and the German battleship Kaiser Fred
erich III, and German cruiser Hela, Lord
wolseey Lord Roberts and General Sir
Evylin Wood.
After the banquet the queens private
band was placed in the Waterloo chamber
The massive gold plate used at tonight's
banquet is estimated to be worth $4,000 600
sterling.
Her majesty received her guests in the
Kings Guard chamber famous for it's
gobelin tapestries. Troops of the household
cavalry, bearing lances, lined the grand
staircase, while within the banqueting hall
were the beef eaters and royal yoemen,
who formed picturesque fringe.
The queen sat at the center of the long
table facing the Prince of Wales. On her
right was Emperor William, and on her left
was the Duke of Connaught. Mrs. Choate
had the sixth place, sitting next to the
italian ambassador, Baron de Rensi Mon
tanaro. Empress Augusta Victoria sat on
the right of the Prince of Wales, with AM
bassador Choate in the sixth place on this
side of the table next to Princess Aribert
of Anhalt.
The toasts were very formal. The Prince
of Wales rose first, saying:
"By command of the queen, the German
emperor and empress" This was followed
by the German national anthem. Emperor
William then raised his glass to the simple
words, "The queen" after which the
British national anthem was played.
As it was her birthday, the Prince of
Wales toasted the Empress Frederick, and
the German national anthem was played
again.
Arthur j. Balfour was unable to be pres
ent.

..The Alabama Home"

News comes to us from every town and
city in this state that this association is
gaining In strength and popularity amongst
the leading people of each place to a de-
gree never enjoyed by any financial organi-
zataon On Alabama.
THE Alabama Home was organized in
April 1891, just at the close of the great real
estate BOOM Building and loan money COM
manded a high rate in those far-off days
We all remember when money sold at 8
per cent. and 40 per cent premium. Calling
around at the home office of the Alabama
Home the other day, we had our attention
called to the little book that the association
Is now Issuing. We say in parenthesis that
each of our readers should call at 2009 First
avenue and get one of these little books
The present rate OF per cent. interest and
premium now charged is $3.50 per annum
and the manager of the company informs
us that he has sufficient funds to accom-
modate all desirable borrowers The Ala
bama Home has now been in our midst
many years; it has encouraged the accumu-
lation of hundreds of thousands of dollars
which has been returned to Its members
with fair profit. 1t has aided its members
in building hundreds of homes. 1t has re-
deemed over 81 100000 of it's stock and has
on Its books more than $l,500,0O0 of stock
in force. We have noticed the steady growth
of the Ala bama Home, and its growing pop
ulardty, and we believe 1t will take its stand
beside those great and permanent financial
institutions like the Birkbeck, of London;
the Equitable, of Washington, D. c., or the
Mutual Home, of Dayton, o. Above all
else, the Alabama Home is conservative.

WORK NEARING COMPLETION
Direct Connection Will Soon be Had Be.
tween Selma and Pensacola

Selma, November 21.-(Special.)-Work on
the gap which is to give direct connection
between Selma and Pensacola over the
completion, and it is stated upon good au-
thority today that by the 10th day of De-
cember trains will be running.
All but the last few hundred yards of
grading is finished and preparations are
being made to take the teams to Starlight
on the Louisville and Nashville branch that
runs from Georgiana to River Falls. where
they will be put to work completing that
line.
The information is that at the end of
their work there the corps will come to Sell
ma and start work on the line from this
place to Blocton, up the Cahaba coal fields.
By the time that line is completed the new
bridge across the Alabama river will also
have been erected and then the few miles
needed to bring the Gulf road into the
city will be built.
The survey is already made between here
and Sardis, where the road now branches
off to go to Gulf Junction and come into the
city over the Western of Alabama bridge
about nine miles up the river, and as soon
as it is arranged so that trains can cross
the Alabama river at this point the grading
will be let for the six or seven miles be-
tween Selma and Sardis.
This information comes in direct and
thoroughly reliable manner, and it looks
reasonable and in accord with the predic-
tons heretofore made. The Louisville and
Nashville has got to have another line
from the Birmingham mineral fields to the
gulf, and the company must either double
track its present route or build from Selma
to Blocton to connect with the Selma and
Pensacola line of that system now about to
be operated by the completion of the gap
of about thirty-five miles between Repton
and Pineapple.
