The Governor Feels the Need of
a Friendly Newspaper.
CLERK E. C. THOMAS RESIGNS
Had Made Most Competent and Eff
cient Official-Railroad Commission
Failed to Organize-WallerN Not
a Candidate for Delegate.

Montgomery, March 1.-(Special)- )-Gov-
ernor Johnston is getting anxious for
morning paper in Alabama He has been
using every effort to gain control of his
bitter enemy, the Advertiser, for the past
two days. 1t is not believed that the gov
ernor will succeed.
Former Governor VIM. c. Oates is known
to own almost controlling stock in the Ad-
vertiser, and 1t would be very strange to
see Oates and Johnston in partnership in a
daily newspaper. That they both aspire to
senatorial honors every one believes.
There was great surprise about the capi-
tol this morning when 1t was learned that
Warrant Clerk e. C. Thomas had resigned
his position in the auditors office. Mr..
Thomas has made a most efficient official,
everyone who makes his regular drafts on
the state for support
1t is rumored that Auditor White will ap-
point Lawrence III. Lee, editor Of the Clay
ton Recorder, to the vacancy.
Waller Not Candidate
Speaker Charles e. Waller of the house
has been in the city today with his brother
in-law, Colonel C. p. Ellerbe, of st. Louis
itol was cause for considerable political
gossip. The speaker kept his own council,
however. To The Age-Herald reporter he
remarked that he would not be candidate
for delegate to the constitutional conyen-
ton. AS speaker of the house. he does
not think it would be proper for him to be-
come delegate to the convention. Should
the convention make many radical changes
in the present constitution an extra session
of the general assembly will probably be
necessary. 1t is to avoid a complication
in such event that Mr.. Waller has decided
not to become a candidate. His name has
frequently been mentioned in connection
with the presidency of the convention.
The new railroad commission did not or
ganize today. The cause was the failure of
Commissioner Caffee to reach Montgomery.
Commissioner Kyle came in last night and
was present at the meeting this morning.
The new board will hold its first meeting on
the 7th., when clerk will be elected. 1t Is
generally conceded that ]. Kirk Jackson
will be the successful man for this position.
Mr.. Jackson was clerk to the first railroad
commissioner the state ever had, resigning
that position to become private secretary to
Governor Seay. He served in the same
position under Governor Jones, and was
then elected secretary of state. He Is
competent man for the position.

WE WOULD GAIN
By Spain's Failure to Ratify the Treaty
of Peace.

Washington, March 1.-The situation In
the Spanish .cortes leading up to the resig-
nation of the Sagasta ministry and threat
ening the life of the peace treaty Is said
by officials here to be the direct result of
bad management on the part of sponsors
requirement either domestic or included in
the treaty itself, for the submission of the
convention to the cortes for a ratification
On the contrary, the text of the treaty
says that 1t should be ratified by the queen
regent. 1t is further said that this very
point was discussed by the peace COM
missioners at Paris, the Spanish commits
sioners desiring to require the ratification
of the cortes, but finally taking the other
course, perhaps with view to avoiding
the very trouble which has overcome Sa-
gasta.
1t is question whether our government
would not actually profit by the loss of the
treaty, provided this loss could be charged
to the action of the Spanish government, as
would be the case if the cortes refused to
ratify it. The United States, 1t can be
stated on the highest authority, would re-
fuse to surrender the Philippines, and on
the other hand would be relieved from the
treaty obligation to pay the Spanish gov
ernment $40 900 900 on account of the capitu-
lation of the islands.
In case the treaty should fail there also
would be a continuance of the status of
non-intercourse automatically that has ex-
listed since the outbreak of the war, and in
a legal sense the two countries would be
still at war. This state of affairs, though
really embarrassing in some respects,
would not prevent trade between the United
States and Spain. However, as already
stated, the officials here do not believe that
the Spaniards will go to the extreme of
defeating the treaty. and probably the
worst that can happen will be delay in
the exchange of ratifcations.
These should oe exchanged on or before
the 10th of June, which date is six months
from the date of signature of the treaty Of
Paris.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
LORD HERSCHELL
Was One of High Joint Commits
sioners from England.
NO PREM0NITORY SYMPTOM
Was in Comparatively Good Health
When Suddenly Stricken-Died at
His Hotel in Washington
Was Lord Chancellor.
VO PREM0NITORY SYMPTOM

Washington, March 1-Baron Farrer
Herschell, one of the commissioners from
Great Britain on the high joint committee,
in session here to adjust differences be-
tween the United States and Canada, died
quite suddenly at 7:05 o'clock this morning
at the Shoreham hotel, where he had been
confined to his bed for several weeks with
a broken bone caused by fall on a Slip
perry sidewalk.
Lord Herscheil's death came without
warning. Except for the fact incident to
the fracture of his leg, which occurred on
February 15, he has been in excellent health
and spirits, and up to almost the hour of
his death there were no premonitory symp-
toms of the coming end. He had received
visitors every day and had enjoyed seeing
his friends and talking with them. Among
his callers yesterday was his friend, Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador,
who remained some time. talking on vari-
Gus subjects and departed feeling sure that
everything possible was being done for his
lordship and that it would be only short
time before he would be able to leave his
bed.
At o'clock this morning his lordship
awakened and called to his nurse, who
found him breathing heavily. After re-
ceiving some attentions he said he felt
better and again went to sleep little
after o'clock he again called the nurse
and said he felt i'll and complained of great
pain in his chest below the heart. DR.. w.
w. Johnston was hastily summoned and
after a hurried examination dispatched
messenger for Dr. Maddox, who Joined him
in a few minutes. The pain. however. did
not yield to treatment and at five minutes
after Z o'clock his lordship breathed his
last.
In answer to inquiries the physicians said
they were unable to give the exact cause
of death, but the symptoms 1t was thought,
indicated that it was angina pectors.
The arrangements for the funeral services
are not yet complete. They will be held
probably on Saturday either at st. Johns
Episcopal church or at the British em-
bassy. Invitations will be extended to the
president and others prominent in official
life to attend. Upon the conclusion of this
ceremony the body will be taken to New
York and put aboard a steamship leaving
about Wednesday for Europe.
Many expressions of coincidence were re-
ceived during the afternoon and evening.
Attorney General Griggs called at the re-
quest of the president with a message of
sympathy; the justices of the supreme
court, many of the members of the diplo-
matte corps and others.
1t was stated tonight that an examination
developed that the immediate cause of
death was angina pectoriS.

tunda had been rendered to Sophia Bibb
chapter alone.
Mrs Johnston, the wife of the governor,
came in the hall about that time and she
was called on to settle the matter but
she firmly declined taking any part The
breeze blew over and the impending battle
which had been brewing between Sophia
Bbb'' and 1.-THE Cradle Chapters of Mont
gomery did not materialize.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick settled the whole matter
in patriotic, sensible, practical address
by which she stated that as Montgomery
was the cradle of the confederacy, and that
as the capitol building was the first capitol
and the white house, the first white house,
1t should be owned by the United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy as a whole and
not Alabama alone. She therefore moved
that delegates from the Alabama division
be instructed to ask the United Daughters
when they meet to aid in preserving this
historic relic, the two Montgomery chap
ters pledging themselves to purchase and
donate the lot upon which the house could
be moved. The motion prevailed, the Bir-
mingham chapter alone voting in the Mega
tive
The following officers were elected for the
ensuing year:
President. Mrs. william A. Gayle, Mont
gomery; first vice-president, Mrs. B. H.
Craig, Selma second vice-president Mrs.
A. l.. Dowdell, Opelika; corresponding sec
retary, Mrs. w. II. Sawtell, Tuscumbia;
recording secretary, Mrs. A. ]. Bethea,
montgomery; treasurer, Mrs. P. II. Nell,
Auburn; registrar Mrs Simmons Colston.
Mobile; historian, Mrs. Alberta Taylor,
Huntsville.
The usual resolution of thanks were
adopted
1t was moved that the president of the
division be instructed to write Mrs Davis.
requesting that on Miss Winnie Davis mon
ument be inscribed Daughters of the Con-
federacy."
opelika was decided upon as the next
place of meeting, and the convention ad-
journed sine die.

MOLINEAUX INDICTED.
Murder in the First Degree Charged By
the Grand Jury.

New York, March 1.-Arnold B. Molin-
eaux was today indicted by the grand jury
for murder In the first degree In causing
the death of Mrs Katherine j. Adams.
Tho finding of the indictment does away
with hearing before the coroner, and
there will be small chance for Mollineaux's
counsel to take any steps in his behalf un-
til the case actually comes to trial.
The Indictment contained four counts:
First. that Roland B. Molineaux sent
poison through the mails to kill, and which
did kill, Mrs Katherine j. Adams; Sec
ond, that Molineaux did send through the
mails poison for the purpose of killing
some unknown person; third, that Molin-
eaux sent through the mails cynaide of
mercury with intent to kill; fourth, that
Molineaux sent an unknown poison to kill
some unknown person.
Molineaux will be arraigned before Re-
corder Goff tomorrow morning. He then
will probably be remanded to the Tombs
without bail.

deliberation adjourned until IL o'clock to-

When the magnates met today the first
question taken up was the ST. Louis mud
die and after thorough discussion in which
several representatives were in favor of
taking immediate action which would be
adverse to the clubs prospects, it was de-
cided by a vote of to that the report
