decide four important propositions, as fol-
lows:
Whether the Louisville and Nashville
stockholders will assent to the lease of the
Nashville and Decatur railroad.
Where they will assent to the sale by

State Senator C. w. Thompson of Macon
spent today in the city Senator Thomp-
son was en- route home from Montevalo,
where he attended meeting of the execu-

little Roadway has been made on the build
ing, but work is now progressing satisfac-
toriy, and within few months the school,
which is becoming the pride of the state,
will have as fine buildings as are to be
found. With the completion of the new
buildings the dormitories will accommodate
400 girls, and the practice of having the pu-
pills board with private families will be
done away with.
President Peterson is making splendid
impression with all connected with the
school. There are at present about four
hundred bright young ladies attending the

Nothing New In Politics

There is nothing new in politics at the
capitol today. Everybody seems satisfied
with the call for the executive committee
meeting in Birmingham on the 10th. There
is considerable discussion as to what course
the committee should pursue There is q
large and growing sentiment in central and
east Alabama that the state committee or
der primaries in all the counties for the Sc
lection of state officers and legislative cam
didates, and fix a uniform date for such
primaries. The prevailing sentiment as to
the date is favorable to January or Feb
ruary. The above plan will probably be
satisfactory to the followers of Governor
Johnston. Three of the governors strong
friends-Representativ Miller, of Marengo;
Senator Boykin, of Russell, and Senator
Thompson, of Macon-were at the capitol
today and all expressed themselves as ia
voring county primaries and all fixed for a
single date. The committees of both Ma
con and Russell have ordered primaries
for the nomination of county officers on
December 49, but the matter of selecting
state officers was left open until after the
state committee takes action.
Senator Thompson said that the senate
rial race would overshadow all else in Ma
con. Judge w. Fl. Hurt is a candidate for
reelection to the general assembly and he
is outspolken for the return of General John
T. Morgan to the senate. Governor john
ston will also have a candidate in Macon
Senator Boyldln says that the people of
Russell are thinking more of Bryan and
free silver, while Representative Miller
said that 1.-THE state of Merringer' was
solid for Bob Poole for commissioner of
agriculture KERSH.

PREPARATIONS
ARE PROCEEDING



>--~-~---------------- ------~---~~--------~
Cape house of assembly last evening agreed
to a motion instructing the Cape govern
ment to demand the speedy return to Cape
Colony of any and all rolling stock now in
the Orange Free State or the Transvaal.
Gavin Brown Clark, liberal member of
parliament for Caithuesshire, who te1e-
graphed to Pretoria portions of the speech
delivered last Saturday by the lord presi-
dent of the council, the Duke of Devonshlre,
which Mr.. Clark thought afforded an OPEN
ing for a pacific settlement, has received
the following reply from Pretoria under
date of October 8.
1.-THE government of the South African
republic is gratifed to learn that powerful
influences are at work to secure peaceful
settlement. Considering, however the man.
ner in which the free franchise proposals
were rejected after the government had
every reason to believe that they would be
accepted; considering also the abandonment
of the joint commission proposed by Great
Britain, as well as the declaration that the
British government regards all former pro-
posals as abandoned, and are formulating
fresh proposals, the governments of the
South African republic do not feel at lib
ertv themselves to reformulate the rejected
proposals.
"If the desire for peace be earnest and
sincere an excellent opening is afforded
by the Transvaals acceptance of the joint
commission a proposition emanating from
the British government which, If carried
out, would undoubtedly bring satisfac-
tory and honorable settlement"

Mr.. L0MAX'S CANDIDACY
His Friends Are Urging Him to Enter
the Race for Governor-Rumored
That County Executive Commit
tee Will be Called Together

The crowd of visitors In town yesterday
was unusually great, even for Birmingham.
But politicians known to the people Of the
state were not seen about the Hobbies or
other public places. with two or three no.
table exceptions.
President Cunningham. of the senate,
came in from his home at Pratt City, and
spent an hour or two with friends. He
was as breezy, amlable and full of life as
ever, and when a friend ventured to ask
him for news he cheeriy answered.
mot a word-don't know a thing. 1 am
as happy as a bird-feel fine; no worry, no
bother-goodbye! and then went away with
the springy step and open smile of
school boy. Enthusiastically the learned
senator was very happy yesterday
The doctors movements somehow re-
minded the onlooker of Tenneirs famous
cartoon on Joseph Chamberlain, who now
looms so largely in International politics
Some publicist wrote of Chamberlain that
he was the ''petrel of politics" having ref
erence to Chamberlains remarkable
pacity to keep himself above the rougher
waters and maintain his amability and
good nature. Tenneil's cartoon pictured
Chamberlain Swimming over the water in
the form of petrol with an eye-glass. He
was simply touching the foamy waves in
the high places. Senator Cunningham
wears a pair of eyeglasses, but he is
touching the earth in the high places only.
State Auditor Walter S. White was here
during the day, but it is improbable that
his visit had anything to do with politics.
Private information from sources that
are not political is to the effect that Hon.
Tennent Lomaxs immediate personal and
political friends are bringing very strong
pressure to bear to induce him to enter the
canvass for the democratic gubernatorial
nomination, as outlined in The Age-Herald
yesterday. Mr.. Lomax's wishes or pur-
poses are not known in Birmingham. He
is young man of wide state influence, and
Mon gomery county. He has been for
many years solicitor of the Montgomery
city court, is and has been long a member
of the state democratic executive commit
tee, and his name has been repeatedly used
in connection with congress, the United
States senate, and the governorship. There
is a rumor, apparently based upon infor-
nation, that the jefferson county demo-
cratic executive committee will assemble in
Birmingham within five days after the adj
iournment of the state committee, which
will assemble here next Tuesday. The ru-
NOR is repeated here for whatever it be
worth as no official confirmation could be
obtained

news first learned here today, Hon. Will
liam l.. Chambers, late chief justice of
Samoa, is not progressing In his candidacy
for the Alabama federal judgeship as sat
isfactorily as some of his friends had hoped.
One of the oldest and most influential law
yers in Alabama has furnished the corre-
spondent of The Age-Herald a letter from
Hon. j. A. Porter, secretary of the presi-
dent, in which the statement is made that
President Mckinley has given no eonsidera-
ton to the application of any person for
the position, inasmuch there is no va
cancy. This letter settles a mooted ques-
ton in Alabama-especially among republic
can statesmen.
My informant states that when Judge
Chambers returned from Washington a few
days since. the statement was given out
that he had been promised the position
by the president and that the president had
sent him back to Alabama to procure soma
endorsements from the people of his home
state. When Judge Chambers arrived in
Alabama, the story goes, he went to a
distinguished lawyer, who is a democrat,
W SEIZURE ms endorsement lOT the position
held by Judge John Bruce. The Alabama
lawyer whose name cannot be here given
was frank with Judge Chambers, telling
him that in case Mr.. Mckinley intended to
consider the application of democrats that
he would himself make application.
My informant further states that Judge
Chambers then assured him that the presi-
dent would consider the name of no other
democrat than that of himself However,
the other man with an ambition to fill the
position wrote to the president, asking if
Judge Chambers had been promised the
place, and whether the names of any other
democrats would be considered. In reply
to the letter he received the following:
Executive Mansion,
Washington, September 2S 1899.
my Dear Sir: Replying to your letter
of the 18th instant, | would state that the
president has as yet given no consideration
to the matter referred to in your letter, as
there is no vacancy in that office at the
present time. Very truly yours.
