Tonight the Paris lies in much the
same position as when she struck, her
bow being about $50 yards from the shore
and her stern about 200. Almost in di-
rect line and about a mile ahead lies the
wreck of the Mohegan. Just outside the
bows of the Paris is a great ragged rock,
and a ridge of rocks projects into the
water 200 yards ahead.
There is about sixteen feet of water
in the three forward compartments, but
the engines are apparently unharmed 1t
has been decided to aw ait special salvage
apparatus and the next tide tomorrow
The sea is still smooth, and the work of
lightering proceeds.

 ham Dirt

The Chattanooga News, of a recent date, gives the following account of the result of an investment made by six young men of North Georgia in Birmingham real estate:
 "A young and prominent attorney of this city has, within the past few days, encoun- tered "streak of good luck" that sounds almost fabulous in these days of quick sales and small profits, and comes more within the category of Aladdin and his wonderful lamp, than it does within the dry record of modern business transactions.
 "During the financial depression and panic of 1892, six young men of North Geor- gia, all of whom had some money, clubbed together, put In $1, 300 cash, making total of q 800, and with this sum purchased a tract of real estate situated in Birmingham, Ala, which at that time was depreciated in value. A few days ago they sold this tract to an eastern syndicate for $46 800, making each ones share S,S00. The young lawyer happened to be one of these six for turiate young men,"

ANOTHER VERSION
Private Defends Col. Metcalfe in Killing
 the Prisoner

Springfield Mo-. November 26-C. L. Gro- gan, late of Company L, Twentieth Kansas, is in the city visiting his parents. Concern ing the alleged killing of a supplcating, un- armed Filipino by Colonel Metcalfe, he says he is surprised at the statement made by Callahan. who was his lieutenant. Grogan says Callahan and Hall were five companies back from where Metcalfe was at the time of the killing, and could know nothing of the matter from their personal knowledge. Grogan says he and five other privates were detailed to bury the dead Filipinos after the battle of Caloocan on February 1. While he and a private from Company l. were at work together they came upon the body of a Filipino with a knife in his hand, who seemed to have fallen while fighting. His companion looked at the body and said that it was the one Metcalft had shot. He said that the fellow had been taken prison- CT and was unruly. Metcalfe stopped to talk with him and tried to get him to go along. The Filipino sprang a him with his bowie and would have plunged it into his body had Metcalfe not shot him instantly.

MANY SIGNS OF
 DEVELOPMENT
State University in a Most Ex-
 ceIIent Condition.
STUDENTS ENTHUSIASTIC
Presence of Mature Men in the Senior Classes Gives Character to School. Fast Becoming Great Insti-
 tuition of Learning

Tuscaloosa, November 26.-(Special)-A recent visit to the university shows a great many signs of development there. How ever much men may differ about the action and policy of the trustees in the matter of selling or leasing university lands, 1t is clear that those in charge of the work at the university, the president and faculty, are rapidly developing the institution into a great school. The libraries, the museum and laboratories, the general equipment, are being improved The buildings and grounds are kept in excellent condition. The faculty are alive and active in their work, and all devoting themselves to the upbuildng of the institution.
 The students, too, have caught the infec- ton, and on every hand one can hear from them good words for the university, it's present and it's future.
 The personnel of the student-body is all that could be desired. The cadets are or derly and studious about the premises, and are noted for their manly bearing on the streets and elsewhere. noticeable fact IS the large number of mature men in the law class and among the seniors. These give character to the institution, and give it the air of a great university.
 There are now 220 students in attendance This is perhaps the largest attendance of University students at any one time in the history of the school. By university stu dents are meant those who can enter the freshman class and above. The largest en- rollment since the close of the war between the states was 241 in 1SS5-S6. An officer or the university for many years past, includ- ing the year in question, says that there were not at any one time so many as now Before the war the enrolment never even approached 200 in any session. The enroll ment reached the highest point CAD in 1S63-64 but Colonel Willis G. Clark, in his "History of Education in Alabama" says, referring to the students of that year, 'The larger part of them were lads in the academic (preparatory) department" Hence, it is confidently believed that the attendance of students of university grade is larger now than a any time in the his- tory of the institution.
 This is gratifying to all alumni and friends of the university. They are active in it's support and the prospect is that the prediction made by the president that the enrolment for the year would reach 25O will be fulfilled.

DIPLOMATS PUZZLED.
They Do Not Understand the Advent
of Italy iN China.


- WASHINGTON, D. c., March IL
There is not a diplomatic representa-
tive in Washington who knows or can
make an intelligent guess as to what
is the meaning of Italy's demand for
a concession at San Nun bay, China
This statement is made by one of the
highest diplomatic authorities at the
national capital. The whole movement
and the attitude of Great Britain in
supporting Italy's claim is a mystery
10 the diplomatic authorities here
Italy has no commerce with China
and has not heretofore sought to build
up any trade in that country. Italy
has good navy, but no army to pro-
tect an Eastern concession. 1t would
not have been more surprising to the
authorities in Washington to have
heard that Spain, in her present Grip
pied condition, had demanded and Sc
cured such concession as that de-
manded by Italy. The admission that
Great Britain is supporting Italy in
This demand for a naval base and
sphere Of influepce in China is regard
ed with suspicion, and yet it cannot be
understood why Italy should be en-
coura sed by any other power to take
such action while all the powers are
maintaining or claiming to favor the
open-door policy in China
Germany, France and Russia claim
that the ports they have seized in Chi
ma are to be open to commerce, as
Great Britain insists in her policy in
the Orient that these ports are for
naval stations only, and that she does
not propose to bar the commerce of
other nations. While the nations of
Europe maintain the open-door policy
in the East there is no reason why
Great Britain or any other power
