tive ration OF TO "A. There are only
few feeds, such as wheat bran, linseed
meal, cotton seed meal and soy beans
that furnish as narrow nutritive ratio

with corn as ration for fattening
steers. since it furnishes all the

ter yesterday will be permanently filled.
Promotion by seniority of rank ceases with
the rank of brgadier general and there
fore 1t remains with the president to select
any officer he may see fit to promote to
that grade.
1t is understood that some of the colonies
who are near the time retirement will be
advanced and will be allowed to retire with
increased rank and pay, and thus many Of
f1cers who saw service in the Confederate
war and who stand little chance for pro-
motion now in the regular army may be
promoted and then retired, making places
for some one else 1t is Thought that even
tually General Lawton, who has done dis
tinguished service in the Philippines may
be made brigadier and hold it until he re-
tires. There Is some talk of the president
rewarding General Wood with this promo
ton. He is now only a brigadier general
On the volunteer service, and when this ex-
pires will go back to the old rank of cap
tain in the Medical corps of the army. 1t
will be some time before the president de-
cides the matter, but it is believed that he
will permanently fix General Wood in a
major generalship so to avoid any en-
barrassment in the future regarding Wood.
SIMPSONS Friends Humiliated
The friends of Admiral Sampson have
ton on account of the i'll timed and ill-ad-
vised determination of Secretary Long ITO
force the American people to accept the
former as the hero of Santiago. By ignor-
ing the claims of Admiral Schley in New
York, the navy department was forced to
see the honors of the celebration there de-
vided between Schley and Admiral Dewey
In many parts of the city the demonstra-
tion in favor of Schley was far greater
than that shown to the hero of Manila,
while misses were heard all along the route
as the carriage occupied by Sampson pass
ed.
The demonstration was made not so
much for Schley as ITO show resentment
against the officials of the department for
their persecution of the Marylander Not
needing the lesson taught on this occasion
Secretary Long, in his western trip has
again tried to force Sampson down the pub
lie throat. Private advices are that the
demonstration of the people whenever the
secretary mentioned the name of Sampson
amounted to nothing short of an insult
His utterances were either greeted with
silence or else were followed with Kisses
and clamorous shouts of 'Schley, Schley.'
In Minneapolis this counter demonstration
was carried to such an extent that the sec
rotary was not allowed to proceed until he
was forced to use the words of Schley him.

Senator Jones of Arkansas has entered

ment denotes perfect health and strength.

The effort of his family will be directed to
keep him so, but 1t difficult matter to
prevent the senator from work. He has
the reputation in the senate for being able
to put In more work In fewer hours than
any member of that body. The senator Is
an early riser and invariably clears up his
desk of all mail before the hour of enter
ing the senate chamber. He watches every
bit of legislation closely and follows every
bill affecting party ma tiers with scrupulous
care. His son Is able to relieve him OF
much of the routine work in the departs
ments, but for all that he seldom has an
idle hour He has never known what II
was to be sick until the past year, and
now THAT be has regained his strength he
will most likely take up his Liviathan La
bors again unless prevented from doing so
by extraordinary orders from his physician.
He and Senator Bacon will share the lead
ershp of the democrats in the senate at
the coming session. The latter senator has
forged to the front in the past two years
and his confreres have grown accustomed
to let this vigorous and brilliant man take
the lead in party matters in the absence Of
Senator Jones. The two will make an eff
ficient team in the coming congress.
wheeler's Seat in Congress
Ut is only little over a month before the
convening of congress, and General Wheel-
has shown no willingness to throw up
his command and to return to his congress
Si0nal duties an the mouse OF representa-
tives. The impression prevails here that
General Wheeler will remain in the Phillip
pines until peace has been restored Be.
fore he left he said to me that he intended
to return, but added; IF aIp on the firing
line of course I cannot say What will do
He is now on the lighting line and from all
accounts is doing good work. That the
president is using his letters in his speeches
shows that the little cavalry leader can rel
main where he DESIRES and the place of
his choice has always been in the front
If he were to start from the Philippines
at once he could scarcely reach Washing
ton in time to resume his place in congress
at the opening of the session. No action
will be taken by the house. though, accord
ing to the presidents in that body If he is
still in the service when congress meets he
will cease to be a member of congress.
Still if he resigns by cable if his letter
of resignation is dated the day prior to
the converting of congress, then the prece-
dent will not fit his case, and according to
former rulings he will not have lost his
seat 1t is not known whether he will re-
sign by cable or not, though his close
friends say that he will do this and start
for home In December. If the matter was
one for betting there would be given odds
that General Wheeler will be found fighting
there to the end. A. w. b.

This Dau viii Be a Gala One !

For over three-quarters of a century the
people of Alabama and the south have
claimed the old JOHN ROBINSON SHOW
as their favorite. Your grandfathers and
grandmothers have sounded its praises, and
many of the grown-up sons and daughters
Of famed Alabama early learned to lisp
the name of old John Robinson with their
baby lips, and ever since have proved, like
true Alabamians, their loyalty to the show
of their youth, and no other amusement
organization ever has or ever will hold
the place in the hearts of the whole people
like the old reliable JOHN ROBINSON
SHOW, and now that after a long absence
during which 1t has assumed ten times the
proportion In merit, size and magnificence
it comes to Birmingham In conjunction
with the Grand Biblical spectacle Solomon
his Temple and the Queen of Sheba. With
out a parallel acknowledged by a universal
public the one distinctly Great Show, the
peerless exhibition of Greater America.
Three big circuses, three big rings, three
big menageries, one prodigous Aquarium,
one complete Aviary, one Grand Biblical
Spectacle, ten truly Great Shows, one Gil
gantic Museum. For seventy-1ve years,
through three genera lions, this mighty and
powerful amusement organization has ex-
hibited in every state in our vast union
and the name of JOHN ROBINSON is
alone guarantee that the performance
under the vast canvasses by far exeels all
others In Merit, Originality, Magnifcence,
Variety and Quality.
