NOT DENIED
Reported Deal for Purchase of Wood
stock Property.

The Age-Heralds report of negotiations
for the purchase of the Woodstock Iron
company property by the Alabama CONSOLE
dated Coal and Iron company, which APP
peared in yesterdays issue, while not con-
firmed is not denied by the officers of the
consolidated company. In speaking of the
matter yesterday, General Manager Fred
NJ jackson, who was seen in his office,
said:
1T read the article in The Age-Herald
this morning with reference to the pur-
chase of the Woodstock Iron works prop
critics by our company, but if such a deal
is on am not advised of 1t.
Some time ago we did try to buy the
Woodstock properties. thinking they would
be desirable additions to our other possess
sions. Negotiations were opened with the
Woodstock people, but nothing came of it
at that time. 1t is probable, however, that
negotiations were reopened.''
President Bush of the consolidated COM
pany has been in New York for some time,
but is now on his way to Birmingham. He
is expected here today or tomorrow.

SAW NOTHING OF ENEMY
Armored Train Brings News From
Colenso.

Esteourt, November 6.-(Evening.)-An
armored- train has returned from recon-
noitering in the direction of Colenso and re-
ports having seen nothing of the enemy.
The train guard met native runner re-
turning from Ladysmith who said that a
party of Beers had torn up the line to with
in mile of Colenso station.
The Beers, he asserted, were in great
numbers in that vicinity. They brought big
guns down from Grablerskloff HILL pointed
them on the main roadway and fired FIVE
shots into Colenso only to ascertain that it
had been completely evacuated. Then they
entered with five empty wagons which they
filled with goods from Edwards store. The
train party went scouting and obtained re-
liable news that Colenso was in possession
of the Beers and then returned here, bring
ing the runner with them.
The Natal field artillery with mounted es-
corts returned to camp at o'clock this af-

RuMOR PROVED TRUE
Two Negro Miners Killed Near Henry
Ellen.

Details of the reported killing of two ne
groes near Henry Ellen which was print
ed in yesterdays issue of The Age-Herald,
were brought to light by the coroner's in
vestigation which developed the fact that
the negroes were murdered.
1t seems that on Wednesday last VIII
and Tom Isbell, white miners at Henry Ell
len, had a quarrel with some negro miners
over a car load of coal, and that the ne
groes went away in very sullen frame of
mind and uttering threats against the
white men.
The negroes who auarreled with the Is
bells, it is said, are uncles of Doc Herring
and VIII Crout, the dead men.
When found the negroes had been dead
some time. They seem to have been armed
for trouble, as each had a pistol in his hip
pocket and a shot gun by his side.
Coroner Dallas was summoned and went
to the Henry Ellen to hold an inquest over
the bodies.
From the evidence obtainable the jury
could not place the guilt on any particular
person or persons and rendered verdict
accordingly.

CHINESE AFFAIR
CAUSES INTEREST.
The Diplomatic Representatives
OF Countries Concerned Call
at State Department.

Washington, November 9.-The dplo-
matte representatives of every nation di-
rectly Interested in the Chinese question
called at the state department today. 1t
wars noticeab BILE that the calls of the Russian
ambassador Count Cassinf and the French
lasted longer than usual and the Chinese
minister, Mr.. WI, extended his call to in
clude Assistant Secretary Hill who mas been
giving much attention to the subject of the
orient. The interest of the Chinese govern
mnt in what is going ON between the United
States and tn European powers is intense,
but it is believed that Secretary Hay has
founded upon a suspicion that our govern
ment, in the event that the European polk
ers failed to give the formal assurance of
the maintenance of the open door" that it
seeks will take possession of section of
the Chinese coast before 1t is all taken uc
by other powers. So confident are the off,
Gals of success that it is intimated they
have not even gone to the length of framing
a police to meet the event of defeat.
NO answer mas been returned by France
to inquiry as to a formal assurance of
the retention of trade privileges. 1t is
scarcely expected that the French Stipula-
ton will apply to Tonquin and the sections
of China that have been under French in
fuence for a long time past, but simply to
any extension of French holdings.

urges the handling of mails by pneumatic
tubes in congested centers of population.
Recommendation is made for $500, 600 for the
extension of pneumatic service, together

SAMOAN MATTER
AT WASHINGTON
State Department Has Received
No Official Notice
PRESS REPORT BELIEVED
By the Recent Arrangement This Coun-
try Becomes Possessed of All the
Islands of Samoa East of the
III Meridian.

Washington November $50 far the
state department has received no official
statement of the agreement between Great
Britain and Germany as to Samoa from
London, where the negotiations have been
in progress. However, the officials do not
doubt the accuracy of the press report.
The chief interest of the United States in
the Samoan archipelago was the preserva-
ton of rights in the harbor of Pago-
Page, a lease of which was secured to us
by the treaty of 1878. This did not give us
any absolute property in the islands; 1t was
provided that it was to remain in force for
ten years from its date, and was then
terminable upon twelve months notice by
either party. By a similar treaty In the
year 1879 the German government mad
right to establish naval station in Sa-
luafato harbor in the island of Upola, ana
in the same year acquired the right to es-
tabIish a naval station on the shores OF a
Samoan harbor to be hereafter designated
by the British government, this privilege
not applying to the harbors OF Apia or Sa-
luafata, nor to that part of the harbor of
Pago-Pago to be hereafter selected by the
government of the United States as sta
ton under their treaty with Samoa
By the arrangement recently made be-
tween the government of the United states,
Great Britain and Germany, the. United
States becomes possessed of all the Islands
of the Samoan group which lie east OF the
Ill meridian of longitude. These Islands
comprise Tutila, which contains the harnor
of Pago-Pago, and further east Manua,
Olaasinga, Ofoo and Rose Islands. Outside
of Tutila in this group there is no harbor,
and but one anchorage, situated on the
northwest side of Manu2. In Savaii there
is only one harbor for ships, that of Ma
taatu, exposed at all seasons; and more
over, during the period from December to
April, when the north winds are prevalent,
it is dangerous In the island of Upola
there is no first rate harbor. Even that of
Sauafata, mentioned above, would require
very considerable expenditure to make 1t
of any use, while the inadequacy of Apia
as a hanbor was clearly shown in the terri
BILE and disastrous tempest of a few years
ago. But in the island of Tutila, besides
five reef harb0rs similar to those In Upoia
there is the harbor of Pago-Pago, which is
a deep and land-locked basin whose easy
approach and perfect security for vessels
causes it to outweigh in value all the other
islands of the group. 1t is generally con-
sidered by naval experts the finest haroor
in the Pacific ocean.

FIGHT ON BETWEEN
THE COMMISSIONERS

-Four members of the police commission
signed a document yesterday instructing
the chief of police to allow the open betting
to continue at the fair grounds, provided
one arrest was made at each booth every
day.
This was good news to those interested in
racing, and it was thought that from then
on it would be smooth sailing for the book
les.
Three of the commissioners, constituting
the minority got together last night and
gave out statement in which they say
that the action on the part of the Tour oth-
er members of the board was without au-
thority and no such action was taken by
the hoard at a meeting. They claim that
tha meeting held ON the previous night de-
termined the policy of Chief Austin, and
that the instructions given by Chairman
Chiles yesterday amount to nothing.

QUESTION NOW UP
TO JUDGE FEAGIN
Betting on Races Hinges on His
Decision.
WILL BE RENDERED TODAY
Powerful Fight on the Unconstitution-
atty of the Law-Split in the Board
ofPolice Commissioners -
Public Much Interested.

The trial of the cases Of the five men ar-
rested on a charge of violating the arti-
pool selling law at the race track Monday
was begun in police court yesterday. At
torneys J. j. Altman and w. H. Smith ap-
peared counsel for the defendants, and
Colonel S. W. John represented the police
department..
The case was called at u o'clock, but it
was after l o'clock before the arguments
began. After much parleying between the
attorneys, Colonel Altman and Mr.. Smith
decided to admit all tine testimony offered
by the police and demurred to tae indiot-
ment on the grounds that the anti-Pool SELL
ing law was unconstitutional
The argumem on the demurrer was
opened by Attorney Smith He spoke for
nearly an hour and made lucid speech
the uneonstftutionahty off the law. The
points on which the defense is resting fss
case are sSlat the law was not codified ac-
cording to the constitution; that the DILL
was not written according to directions
laid down in the constitution; and that the
law prescriheS two different penalties as
punishment for violation.
For the Proseeusion
Colonel john followed with an eloquent
and foreible pea for the unfolding of the
law, and CITED several authorities which
ne argued were in conflict wfdl the posi-
ton taken by the attorneys for the de-
tense.
The closing speech was made by Colonel
Altman. His was one of the most forcible
constitutional arguments ever heard in the
courts of this city. He first took up the
question of codification. He explained that
the constitution provides that all laws must
NO. rgxf1ff ia1A
selling law was passed on the 5th day of
February. Colonel Altman stated that on
the 10Th day of that month the governor
issued a proclamation ordering the codi-
flying of the laws. The anti-pooIseling law
was not codifed. The legislature after
wards passed a resolution ordering this law
printed in the code, but he claimed that
this could not be done under the constitu-
ton.
Colonel AitmaH's Contention
Colonel Altman then took up the question
of the manner in which the bill was witt
ten. The constitution prescribes that no
act of the legislature must contain more
than one subject or subject matter in the
caption. The attorney showed that there
We're two distinct subjects in the caption,
and that on this point alone the law was
unconstitutional. He then argued that
there were two separate and distinct PEN
alties laid down in the body of the bill.
After listening attentively to this power
full speech Judge Feagin announced that he
would render a decision early this morn
ing. Colonel John then asked that he be al
lowed to show the court some authorities on
the question this morning. The request
was granted.
The verdict will probably be rendered be-
fore II o'clock today, and the suspense
which has been lowering over the horsemen
and those Interested in racing will be
broken.
