The Warrior River improvement.

The recent inspection of the Warrior river improvement by a majority of the congressional delegation of the state serves to call attention to the most important pub lie work ever undertaken in this state. It is the unlocking of the mineral district to tho world. It means that the district which can produce iron and steel at the lowest possi- ble cost, shall also have transportation for such products, as well as for its coal, to the sea at water rates. It means that all of the sea at about one-third of even present railroad rates upon exports, which are the lowest rates in the country. It means wealth, population, prosperity in the state, and particularly in the mineral district, be- yond the widest dreams.
 And this great improvement is in course of completion-is actually in sight. An appropriation of about $1,5O0,OOO will, with appropriations already made, afford slack water navigation from the sea to the mouth of Valley river every day in the year. Messrs. Underwood and Bankhead have no hesitation in saying that this ap- propriation will ultimately be forthcoming, and perhaps still more money can be pro- cured for the farther improvement of the river below Tuscaloosa, so that all-the- year navigation will eventually be secured in the dryest of years.
 When slackwater navigation to the mouth of Valley river, is secured, as it probably will be in a short time, then Birmingham must pull long and hard for an appropria- tion that will canalize Valley river, first to McAdory, and later to this town itself, via North Birmingham valley. Let no one doubt the final completion of this great, and all important work. Every dollar spent now calls for additional dollars in or der that all dollars expended may become fruitful.
 Alabama cannot spare from congress, while this matter is pending, MT. Bankhead. He has been mentioned for governor, but the state needs him where he is-where he has earned high standing and influence
  may yet reach the highest position that is now open to a southern statesman. Mir. Bankhead must stay in congress, and so must MT. Underwood Our own member is one of the younger men of the house, but his wide acquaintance with and his knowledge of men and methods in Washington give him powers of good for Birmingham and the district that new man could not com mand. MT. Underwood too, gains the ear of the house as few men do. This was par ticularly shown in the debate over armor- plate last winter. This district is fortunate in possessing two such representatives, and neither should be permitted to escape ser vice in the house until barges are floated fresh from the sea on q level that reaches the city furnaces of the Sloss company This should be the mineral districts ulti- matum.

the opposition of the regular army, or any other opposition. in order to utilize the ser vices of General Wheeler in the Philip pines An effort will be made, beginning in September. to crush the insurgents, and General Wheeler is beyond doubt expected to take a large part in the forward move ment against the slippery Malays who will not acknowledge the supremacy of the United States.
 He will probably sail about July 1, arriv- ing in the Philippines about August b. By the time the rains are ended in September he will be fully ready for active operations in the field. What effect this will have upon his seat in congress remains to be devel- oped. If the crushing-out process be car ried on as rapidly as the administration has planned, General Wheeler may return by Christmas time and resume his seat in congress. He will certainly be able to come back next spring before the state conven- tion is held. It is not plain, therefore, that the sending of General Wheeler to the Phil ippines will in any manner change the po- litical situation in this state. Should Gen. eral Wheeler win a decisive victory in the Philippines, it would, however, increase his popularity among the people, and his among the plain people is already very great. It exists in all states. All countries have read about the little general, who is already the hero of two wars

Beyond reasonable doubt the administra- to the Philippines, where affairs of a mili- tary nature are not coming along satisfac- torily. Good fighters are needed there. With General Wheeler in command of q brigade, and General Lawton of another, there will be there two very active and skillful and aggressive leaders. General Wheeler it is intimated, will be sent to Manila ostensibly on special mission of some sort, but the belief prevails in Wash ington that he will, soon after arrival, be assigned to fighting brigade.

SENSATIONAL ABDUCTION STORY
A Young Man of Fortune Spirited Away
 From His Fathers Side

Detroit. Mich. June 22.-Moses Fowler Chase, aged 21, alleged to be mentally in- competent and reputed to be worth $6OO,- GOO, was abducted from the Hotel Cadillac last Sunday night He had been a patient at a sanitarium in Flint, and was en route to his home in Lafayette Ind, accom- panied by his father, Frederick Chase a lawyer. When the father and son arrived here the young mans aunt met them at the depot and hurried the youth to the Cadillac. The father was unsuspicious. Sunday night a carriage drove up to the hotel and young Chase was taken to the Cleveland boat, which, in the company of his aunt and two unknown men, he board ed. On reaching Cleveland the party took a train for Cincinnati. From there they private detective that the father had en- went east to Albany, N. Y, where the poyed to watch them, lost sight of the party.
 Extradition papers were today made out in anticipation of the party's arrest by the New York authorities. The fortune that the boy possesses is revertible to the aunt upon his death, which, it is alleged fur nishes a motive for the supposed abduc- ton. The police of New York, Boston, Portland and Montreal have been notified to be on the watch for the party. The father and his attorney believe that the object of the alleged abductors is to take the young man out of the country. It is stated that upon young Chase attaining his majority the fathers guardianship ceased, and that the father was taking him to Lafayette for the purpose of him self being continued as his guardian by or der of the probate court.

NO MISTAKE WILL eE MADE

From the Eufaula Times.
 Representative Bankhead seems to be in the lead for the position of leader of the minority in the national house of repre- sentatives. It is. believed that he will go into the caucus with more votes than any one else and that his chances of winning are the best. Certainly no mistake will be made if he is chosen. He will fill the posi- ton with credit to himself, his state and the party.

OOhiefy heduced TO Smltereena,
Al noon to-day. in the absence Of the
plane engineer, David Gale. at the West
Shenandoah colliery, John Stone, a miner on
the night shift, attempted an experiment
which proved costly to the company. He
walked into the engine house in the breaker
and opened the valve which started the en-
gine. The empty car attached to the rope at
the bottom Of the outside plane sped swiftly
mp the track and dashed over the top Of the
sheaves before Stone could shut off the steam
The car dropped down on the engine house
completely demolishing it. The fly wheel
was broken in several places
Fortunately Stone escaped being struck by
the car but was shortly after taken into
custody by C. & I. Policeman Kleindenst and
placed in the lookup.
He was given a hearing this afternoon
under the charge of malicious mischief, and
unlawfully interfering with the company's
property He was held in $1,000 bail. The
act was committed while Gale was engaged
in work down in the mine.
Stone denies having any connection with
the accident. but one man says he saw him
walk into the engine house and turn on the
steam.
