FIRST MEETING
Of the Bimetallic Club Since the Las
 Campaign.

The first meeting since the last state cam club was held last night. The meeting was an enthusiastic one.
 John c. Pugh, the president of the club, presided, and Charles B. Powell in the absence of the regular secretary, was made temporary secretary. The chairman called on John w. Tomlinson to explain the pur- pose of the meeting. Mr. Tomlinson said that he could best explain the purpose of the meeting by reading letter from Chair man Jones, urging the systematic raising of funds for the next national campaign. He urged that it was of the utmost import ance that fund should be raised, which was being done by systematic effort all over the United States. The republicans, he said could call on one man to pay one hundred thousand dollars, while the dem- ocrats could call on one hundred thousand men to give one dollar each, which would not only realize the same fund, but would make hundred thousand earnest dem ocratic workers at the same time. Speeches were made favoring the plan by Professor R. J. Waldrop, w. C. Garrett, J. S. Giles pie, Professor H. B. Burriss Mack Ritten- berry, C. B. Powell and others On motion of MT. Rittenbcrry the following committee was appointed to propose a plan for sys- tematic work in raising funds for the next national campaign: John C. Pugh John w. Tomlinson, Dr. J. A. Gillespie, Professor R. J. Waldrop, w. C. Garrett, Mack Ritten- berry and Professor H. P. Burriss. The committee will meet in the office of W. c. Garrett, register in chancery, at the court house, Monday afternoon at 4:9O.
 The club adjourned until next Saturday night, the place of meeting to be announced through the papers.

CALLED ON M'KINLEY.
Reimbursement of Ellerbe Must be by
 Special Legislation.

Washington, January H.-Senators Till- man and McLaurin, of South Carolina. called on the president today relative to the recent decision of the comp troler. of the treasury that the states which expended money in raising volunteer regiments for service in the late war could not be reimbursed by the federal government.
 In the case or the southern states the money so expended is to be applied on the debt owing from the states to the federal government. In the case of South Carolina, however, this money was not taken from the state treasury but was advanced by Governor Ellerbe out of his own pocket in order to facilitate matters. The same thing was true of the governor of Missouri. Presi- dent Mckinley suggested that the only remedy lay in special legislation by con- gross He indicated that he would approve a special bill if it were passed.

THE FISTIC ART
 IN OLD SELMA Robbins and Aldrich Engage in a
 Difficulty. FIGHT DECLARED A DRAW
SCHrrilOuS Newspaper Articles Provoked

NO SERIOUS RESULTS FOLLOWED
Robbins Escaped Unscathed, While Al drich Was Somewhat Bruised-Cit- izens Interfered and Mill Was
 Off-Account of the Battle.

Selma, January 14.-(Special)-At 6:aO p. m., this evening in the lobby of the Hotel Albert a personal difficulty occurred be- tween Hon. Gaston A. Robbins, member William F. Aldrch, member of the Fifty fifth congress.
 Robbins was sitting by the fireplace, when Aldrich, accompanied by his attorney, E. H. Dryer, of Taladega, who is to con- duct his contest, and T. B. Deans, of Shelby, came in. Robbins approached Aldrich, and pulling a copy of the Alabama Home, puo- lished in Anniston, from his pocket, said: MT. Aldrich, this paper published sum Der of scurrilous lies about me, and you circulated them over the district. l am and with that Robbins let drive with his fist.
 Dryer and Deans rushed up. and the former caught hold of Robbins. Several gentlemen who were near called ont "fnul play" and Dryer was forced back, the conn batants going together again. For about five minutes the mill lasted, Aldrich being punished severely and Robbins not receiv ing a scratch.
 The articles in the Home were written by one Pennington, said to be an old man in Aldrichs employ and were insulting to the greatest degree. It was fortunate that there was no more serious result than few bruises.

Wants Help of the Chief

Chief of Police Mcdonald will officiate in an entirely new and novel role tonight; he has been called on to help a pastor ex- church. The shepherd fears that he will not be equal to the task by himself and he has called on the val'an chief for assist ance.
 The Reverend R. Jordon, colored, pastor of the St. Paul church on Morris avenue and Eighth street, is the minister in ques- tion. Jordon has been in sore trouble all nature of the step he was about to take in the expelling of some of his congregation from the church, and of the more serious consequences which would very probably result to his person when he attempted the expulsion aforesaid. He did what was proper under the circumstances and told his troubles to a policeman. He took counsel with one of Birmingham's blue coated of- ficers of the law, and after explaining all of the circumstances, said that he was very desirous of having the chief present in the church at this evenings services. Sup ported by the authority and strong arm of the law, Jordon argued, he would dare ex- pell objectionable characters in his con gregation. He would be free to bring his charges and make his accusations without so much fear of bodily harm.
 "Ill tell you, capn,' said the preacher, them niggers are so mean that even the devil wouldn't take 'em, much less the Lord. That's why l want to run em out of my church..

terday Chief officer Lawless said :
THE afternoon we left Honolulu the
evening papers contained the news that
the lava flow was within ten miles Of
Hilo and travelling steadily. The inter
island steamers were crowded With pas
sengers. Some of the people We're going

going to see how their families and
relatives We're faring. In my opinion
the whole crest has been blown off
Mauna Loa, and If the waters of the sea
have found their way into the crater
then the whole island has been shat
tered. In no other way can 1 account
for the peculiar experience we had after
leaving Honolulu. 1 have been to sea
a good many years, and never, encoun-
tered such a peculiar cross sea before
It would catch the ship on one side and
then take hold on the other before she
could recover, and in consequence the
passengers had merry time of it keep
ing their balancei" -
Among the passengers on the Aus
tralia was Major General c. P. Egan
and his wife. The general has a coffee
plantation on the Island of Hawaii, di-
rectly in the course of the lava flow
toward Eilo. It is situated about ten
miles up the hills from the town, and
if the flow was not diverted in some
manner then the plantation is covered
by this time. The general is very much
disturbed over the matter, but is hop
ing against hope that the plantation
has escaped.
There is just a chance that the Aus
tralia on her return trip Will go to Hon
olulu via the south end of the Island
Of Hawaii. In that event the passen-
gers would have a four hours view of
the volcano in eruption from a distance
of twenty-three miles, seven hours
from a distance of thirty-fve miles,
and nine hours from a distance of fifty
miles Mauna Loa is 1850 feet high,
and when the Australia left Honolulu
the pail hanging over the mountain
could be seen from Diamond Head.

TOBlN THOUGHT He
SAW THE BANSHEE

The upper office men of the Police De-
partment have for the past three DAYS
been engaged in ghost hunt. Instead
of following their usual occupation of
trailing pickpockets, petty iarcenists and
other criminals. the detectives have been
devoting their time to Investigating a
homemade spook who terrorized the
neighborhood of Sutter and Octavia
streets and incidentally certain members
of the Police Department.
1t is needless to state that the spook
is now out of a job, but before It went
out of business it came near driving De-
tectives Anthony and Ellis and Sergeant
Tobin out of their minds.
1t was a real genteel spook, and made
its nightly Vistations at a certain resi-
dence on Sutter street quite close to the
corner of Octavia. The lady of the house
grew alarmed and reported the matter to
Chief Lees. Anthony, Ellis and Tobin
were detailed to do a star turn with the
Supernatural being" They visited the
house and all three imagined that they
really. saw a ghost, and each crossed his
heart in asseVerating that he had not
been in Chinatown that evening Tobin
was convinced that he had at last run
afoul of the banshee. 1t was ascertained
Yesterday that the spook was nothing
more than neglected wheel on one Of
the Sutter street cars which passed the
house at 10 o'clock each evening. The of
ficers have each made a solemn VOW to
smoke nothing in the future stronger
than Napa soda. Anthony hunted up a
Rabbi yesterday and took the pledge.

building of New Cruisers.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The Board OF
Naval Chiefs decided to-day to give thirty
months for building the six new protected
cruisers instead of twentyfour months
as was first contemplated. This is due
to the rush of private work at all the
shipvards which made the yards indis-
posed to bid on the vessels unless more
time was given. The extension. 1t is said
insures active competition and lower
figures.
