VANHOOSE CALLS
 ON THE PRESIDENT
Mckinley Impressed With FeaSi-
 biIity of Warrior Canal.
THE PLAN IS PRACTICABLE
The Executive Assured His Callers That He Was Always Interested in Anything That w ould Advance
 American Commerce.

Washington, September 22.-(Special.)- Former Representative Aldrich and J. A. VanHoose, former mayor of Birmingham, had an interview with the president this morning. They are interested, they said, in securing water transportation for Bir- mingham, and desired to enlist the presi- dents sympathies and cooperation in whatever legislation on that subject that may be proposed at the coming session of congress.
 The president assured his callers that he was always in sympathy with any project which would carry American commerce abroad and strengthen home industries Water transportation is now available as far in the state as Tuscaloosa, forty miles below Birmingham. The further opening of the Warrior and Valley rivers would, it is claimed give Birmingham clear water course to the Gulf of Mexico.
 Engineers of the war department have declared" said Mr. VanHoose, "that the opening of these rivers to navigation is feasible, practicable and desirable, and that the work can be done at a cost of S6,O0O,O00. If we could secure navigation to the gulf we would at once lock horns With Great Britain in the iron trade of the world, and would have no trouble in doing this In all other branches of the iron bus mess. We need nothing but a waterway to the gulf, and that can be made if con- gress is willing"

 "In accordance with your instructions I and accounts of MT. W. H. Lindsey. clerk of the circuit court of Choctaw county, Ala bama, from the beginning of his term of office, November, 1898. to July 1, 1899.
 1T find that all moneys collected by him for the use of the state duly reported and paid into the state treasury.
 ''1 find, however, that in two cost bills he has overcharged the state for final rec ord. On this account he is due the state the sum of s2.90, interest to date having been added.
 "Mr. Lindsey sta tes that the cost bills in the cases referred to were made up before she final record was made and that the fees were estimated, hence the error He further states that the amount found to be due would be forwarded to the treasurer at once"
 Under your instructions l have thor oughly investigated the books, papers and accounts of MT. George F. Gavin, sheriff of Choctaw county, Alabama, from the begin ming of his term of office, September, 1S96 to August l. 1899

BIG FIRE AT BESSEMER
Cornice Works Plant Destroyed
 age Will Amount to $lO,ooo

Bessemer, September 22,-(special.)- Bessemer Cocnice Works plant was dis covered on fire about o'clock this morn- ing When found, the fire was too far ad- vanced to give any hope of suppression, and as it turned out to even give much opportunity of saving anything from fine flames.
 The building was a one-story, two-roofed corrugated iron structure. It contained splendid metal working plant of improved machinery, large stock of tin and metal ware, plumbing supplies, ranges, stoves, etc., and in the carriage department a large line of buggies, carriages, harness, etc.
 When the fire was discovered and at tempts made to enter the building was found so filled with a heavy bank of hot air that ingress was found almost impossible, and only few of the buggies and car riages were saved.
 Adjoining the plant, in the rear, was a stable, in which the delivery horse was kept It was burned with the stable.
 The loss is very severe, amounting to fully $l000O The proprietor, MT. w. J. Long, only carried $i050 insurance.
 The origin of the fire is unknown, and there is no hypothesis offered.
 Ms. Long has leased double store rooms In the Charleston block for temporary quarters, and will take immediate steps to rebuild.

HOT FIGHT ON IN
 SECOND DISTRICT Many Candidates Desire to Succeed Con-
 SrOSSman StallinSS. JENKINS MAY MAKE RAGE H0 Has Made Good Record as State SOl-
 atOF and is Ambitious.
TALK OF CHAMBERS COMING JOB
Republicans Do Not Look With Favor Upon the Former Samoan Justices Aspirations to Su, ces Ju lge
 Bruce-Pardons Granted

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mabson, Mont gomery, September 22.-(Special )-Indica- lions point to a very hot contest for con- gress in the Second Alabama district When Congressman Stallings announced his ean- didacy for governor, his former rival, Col onel A. A. Wiley, immediately announced that he would make the race to succeed Stallings. It seemed for awhile that Colo nel Wiley would have a walk-over, but new and unexpected moves on the congression- al chessboard have changed matters.
 Senator s. c. Jenkins, of Wilcox, is in Montgomery today, and is telling his friends how well he could represent them in the halls of the national capitol. Senator Jenkins is a bright young man and a smooth politician. He has represented his county in the lower house of the general assembly two terms, and is serving a term as sena tor He is a tower of strength in Wilcox, but in his candidacy for congress it is very probable that he will have to lock horns with another aspirant in the black belt-Colopel Joseph N Miller also of Wilcox.
 Senator Jenlfns is an earnest advocate of Bryan and free silver, while Colonel Miller
  ator Jenkins has been spending two weeks fin the lcwer end of the district, and he claims that his chances are good in Butler, Crenshaw, Escambia, Baldwin and Will COX.
 There is a strong probability that Hon. Tennent Lomax, of Montgomery, will also enter this contest, and if he does the man who defeats him will be congressman. MT. Lomax has been out of the city for several weeks, but his friends are grooming him for winner The free silver advocates in Montgomery county favor Lomax. There are still two other probabiities-C R.. Bricken, of Crenshaw, and Hon. John D. Burnett, of Escam'oia. In case all these probabilities become active candidates there will be gay old time in Congress- man Stallings' district Congressman Stall ings himself may be a factor in the race. His friends say that when he is defeated for governor he will join in the contest to succeed himself.

Activity Among Republicans

There is still noticeable activity and unrest in republican circles. As forecasted several days, Judge William l.. Chambers has returned to Montgomery, and talk Of his succeeding Judge Bruce is revived Judge Chambers has not been seen about the government building, where the repub- lican statesmen daily congregate but some of the influential republicans have official knowledge of Judge Chambers presence in the city. In fact, Postmaster Buckley Was advised by letter from Washington that Judge Chambers would arrive here yesterday. But if the postmaster and the former Samoan justice have been in con- ference they nave kept 1t secret.
 Judge Chambers is well pleased with his visit to Washington, and he does not deny that he is to be given rich federal posi- tion. As the judiciary is more to the liking of Judge Chambers, it is very generally ac- cepted that he will be placed on the bench, even should he fail to succeed Judge Bruce.
 There will be strong fight made by the republicans to keep the president from giving this position to Judge Chambers. It would certainly mean the removal of Cap tain J. w. Dimmick as clerk, and therefore Dimmcks friends resent the appointment. Discussing the situation, a leading repub lican remarked that it might seem strange to see republicans indorsing a democrat for sc rich an office as the federal judgeship, but he added that sometimes they are willing to democrat succeed If 1t means the degrada ton of one republican and the advancement of another" This same republican added: All this fight on Youngbood has come to naught. Young
 blood is not going to lose his position His enemies have been airing Youngblood'5 5 character to have him busted, but let me tell you that when they have been in the republican party as long l have they will find out that character amounts to d-d little when it comes to getting office"
