MEANS PROSPERITY
TO BIRMINGHAM MILLS
When Details Are Completed and the Great
Trust is Formed Rolling Mills Will
bel sleascd from Receivership.

The greatest public interest was manifest
ed in Birmingham yesterday in the state
ment of the Age-Herald that preliminary
ARRANGEMENTS had been made whereby the
Birmingham rolling mills, and probably the
Alabama rolling mills, were to enter the
great rolling mill trust, organized under the
laws of New Jersey with a capital stock of
$50, 000, 900.
There can be no reasonable doubt that the
Birmingham rolling mills are in the COM
bine. Indeed, that is at the moment abso-
lutely certain. Nor is there much room for
doubt that the Alabama rolling mills are
likewise in the deal.
AS the Age-Herald stated yesterday, the
contamination Of the gigantic enterprise
will require possibly two weeks. Meantime
1t is expected, and, In fact, is pr. .eally
certain, that the temporary financial en-
barrassment of the Birmingham rolling
mills will be adjusted, and, as a matter CT
course, the mills will pass from the hands
of the receivers
1t is a matter of great moment to the
rolling mills and to Birmingham. All claims
will be paid, and all matters satisfactorily
adjusted, and the great plant, with its
army of highly paid skilled workmen, will
enter upon a new time of usefulness and
vastly increased prosperity. Not only will
Birmingham lose nothing, but 1t will gain
immensely by the formation Of the trust
The local stock and bondholders will be
assured of their money. and the community
of the benefits arising from its largest SIN
gle industry.
1t is understood to be the purpose of the
great syndicate to export all the product
Of the Birmingham rolling mills not re-
quired by local industries. In fact, 1t is
limited that under the new arrangement the
mills will be run at their utmost capacity
night and day.
Full details of the great combination are
not now obtainable but most of the rolling
mills of the United States are included. 1t
Is said that the building of another great
rolling mill plant at Birmingham is very
probable. This district will be looked to
for supplying the export trade.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Sulligent Visited by a Confagration-
Loss Will be $4,000.

Sulligent, Ala, March 9.-(Speclal) AT
about 2:SO o'clock this morning fire broke
out in Guthrie Bros livery stables and be-
fore anything could be done to save them
the entire buildings were consumed by the
flames, roasting six horses alive and burn
ing an immense quantity of corn and other
feed stuff. Two carloads of guano, be-
longing to J. F. White, of Detroit, was
stored In the stables and is almost total
loss.
The camp houses in the cotton yard of
Paul & Co. were also destroyed, and one or
two bales of cotton slightly damaged but
the loss to the yard is comparatively small.
The fire was the work of an incendiary,
or else 1t caught from a spark from the
engine of freight train which stood on
the sidetrack for some time before the
blaze was discovered. The latter is the
most general suppostion, as the course of
the wind was from the engine toward the
stable, and a, spark would only have to
have been blown through some lattice
work into the dry hay 1t was only through
the persistent efforts of the entire popu-
lace that the section house and other prop
erty was saved.
There was no insurance on anything, and
the entire loss is estimated at not less
than $500.

BRYAN AT HOUSTON.
Addressed an Audience of 5000 Peo-
pie Last Night

Houston. Tex, March e.-Hon. William
Jennings Bryan addressed 5000 people at
the auditorium tonight. Many were unable
to get admission. After stating that the
Chicago platform still stood, while the ST.
Louis one had been violated by its project
ors he declared himself in favor of silver,
opposed to government by injunction and
in favor of the income tax. He said the
republican party was willing to sacrifice
the blood of the poor man, but not the rich
man. in order to benefit the rich gold
miser. He denied that prosperity had
come to the country and defed the repub-
licans to go before the country on the plat
form that we advocated prosperity and we
have found it, He paid particular attention
to trusts, excoriating them numerically.
He alluded to the declaration of the Chi
cago platform on the subject and said had
the democrats been in control the trusts
would have been compelled to obey the law.
Regarding McKinley's assertion that he IA
vored expansion because the people de-
named 1t, he said Mckinley should not
gauge public opinion from the rear end of
a train.

especially the university at Tuscaloosa.
Make the governor merely an ex-offielo
member of the board. The trustees might
be selected by joint ballot of the general
assembly or by the alumni of the institu-
tons. The governors appointing power Is
entirely too great
Change the Pardoning Power
General Oates placed himself on record
as favoring the removing of the governors
pardoning power.
There should be board OF pardon COM
missioners to consist of three members the
governor to be chairman and the associate
members to be chosen by joint ballot OF
the general assembly. Strong political infiu-
ences are frequently brought to bear on the
governor to secure pardons.
He favored many changes in the judicial
system the holding of more frequent terms
of the courts ana speedy trial of criminals.
Politics and preJudices must be gotten out
of the grand jury room. Under the pres
ent law where the grand jury fails to indict
there can be no further prosecution. So
| licitorS should be given the power, under
| an order of the court, to prosecute on in
formation. Members of mobs can only be
| reached in this manner, and it would
| check lynching.
He also advocated changes in the home
| stead laws. The waive note should be
| abolished and one note made as good as
another. Exemptions should be cut down
| man living in the country $500 of personal
| property and that of a citizen living In
| town $1,000. There should be a clause pre-
| venting tho mortgaging of the homestead,
| and only allowing it to be sold with the
| consent of the wife and children. This
| practice is driving all the whites from the
| country, either to the towns or the west
| and leaving the unwilling land owners with
| nothing save negro tenants.
| General Oates expressed the opinion tnat
| all state officers should be elected for
| term of four years, members OF the general
| assembly as we'll. He said that there We're
| twenty-seven classes of local legislation
which should properly be transacted by the
| county courts. He had advocated IKE
| clause for the present constitution. Inc
| disgraceful scenes attendant upon the ses-
| sion of the general assembly caused by
| the presence on the floor of Lobbyists
should be removed.
There is but little doubt but that General
| Oates will be q member of the convention,
| and he will be one of its ablest and most
experienced members. His council VIII DC
| of great value to the state. The general
| said that at present the voters in the WIRE
grass region were opposed to q constltu-
| tional convention, but he believes that al
| ter they are better informed as TO the
| needs of a new constitution and are given
| assurances that there will be no raolcai
| changes made that the majority vote Will
| be secured in the conventions favor.

GEN. MILLER RETIRES.
Has Reached the Age Limit of Sixty
four Years

Washington, March "a change in the
command of the United States forces at
Iloilo will occur on March q, resulting from
the retirement of General Marcus Miller
who on that date reaches the age limit OF
GA years.
General Miller is in the regular service
having been promoted only recently to the
rank of brigadier-general. If he were in
the voluntary service his retirement would
not be compulsory, precedent to the con-
trary having been established in the cases
of several other general officers, who held
commands during the Spanish war. Gen.
erap Miller's services In the Philippines
have been recognized by the war depart
ment as of great value, his capture of
Iloilo without loss to the American forces
having marked an important epoch in the
operations in the islands.
His compulsory retirement is a matter
of regret to the department. He will be
succeeded in the natural order of promo
ton by Colonel Thomas M. Anderson who
now ranks as brigadier-general of VOL
unteers

CAMPAIGN NOW TURNS
TO REGISTRATION
The Speech Making and tho Innings of the
Spellbinders VIII Begin After This
Is Over Meetings Held.

The only feature of the municipal CAM
palgn now is the registration of voters.
Every candidate has man in every ward
and the unsuspecting citizen is now being
besieged to secure a certificate of registra-
ton. When he does this the siege for his
vote begins. Every Afternoon each candi-
date gets list of the voters that have reg
istered in each ward. The next day every
voter receives a letter asking him for his
support, to say nothing of the numerous
personal calls that are made upon him.
This will be the absorbing feature of the
campaign until it ends. Then the speech
making will open up and the spellbinder
will have his inning.
SMITH
Little attention was paid to anything be-
sides the matter of registration at Smith
headquarters yesterday. Last night an en-
thusiastic meeting of his supporters was
held, speeches being made by Attorney
James l.. Tanner, Attorney General Charles
G. Brown, and Bert Porter.

Saturday night.
DRENSEN
There was an enthusiastic meeting of AL
derman Drennen's supporters at the Dren-
men headquarters, Second avenue, last
night. There was great enthusiasm, and
general good feeling prevailed
There was but one cause OF complaint
suggested by the Bremen forces and that
was that the places fixed for registering
were in some instances inconvenient and
unfamiliar to the voters. The complaint
seems to be not Ill founded.
PARKER
Last night the supporters Of John L.
Parker for mayor organized campaign
clubs in the various wards of the city, and
thus begins Parker's campaign in earnest.
There will be-a Parker meeting tonight,
and tomorrow night various meetings. 1t
has not yet been determined when active
public speaking will begin, nor have the
speakers been determined upon.
