May Pack Their own Raisins.

Fresno, Cal. May 5-The conference
between the bankers and packers and the
directors of the Raisin Growers associa-
ton continued last night and a final eff
fort was begun today. though the pack
ers have already practically abandoned
the hope Of harmony being established.
It is generally believed that the directors
of the Raisiu Growers association will
refuse to cOncede any OF the demands of
the packers, and will insist on starting a
cooperative packing enterprise of their
own, whatever the consequences may be.

STATE OF WAR EXISTS.
Otis Had Authority to Garry Out Sen
tence of Courtmartial.

Washington, May 5.-Judge Advocate
General Iieber has given an opinion to
the secretary OF war to the effect that
General Otis. commanding the division
of the Philippines acted fully Within
his legal authority in ordering the dis
missal Of Major George w. Kirkman,
Fcrty-mnth volunteer infantry, and
three ether Offices, in execution of SEN
fences Of ourtsnaartial and conviction
of VIOLATION of various articles of war.
THIS opinion carries WITH it, by i'm
pIication. the idea. that STATE Of war
exists in the Philippine islands, as 9th
erwise. under the army regulations, the
general commanding in the field would
not have final Jurisdiction in a cOur5-
martial case involving the dismissal Of
an officer Of the army.

 Democracy Is the bulwark of princi- ples of common liberty and freedom. Its policies are in the interest of the whole peo- pie. As to these motives Democrats can not differ; as to methods they may hon. orably differ. But when the majority de- cides, all should submit and work in har- mony. Democracy needs no reorganization. Its destinies must remain with those who have been faithful to the organization, with those who with honorable intentions unite with us." E. E. K.

 That Will Loose.
A REAPPORTIONMENT BILL

Washington, November 13.-Director ot the Census Merriam today called the att tention of the President to the fact that the population Of the United States will be at the disposal of Congress for action on re-apportionment bill. The apportionment following the count of the twelfth census will become operative by law in 1903.
 There probably will be considerable in- crease both in the ratio and total number of representa- atives under the new appor- tionment. Starting with a ratio of one to every thirty thousand inhabitants, there were sixty-five representatives In the first Congress. The eleventh census in 1890 gave a population of C., ,622, ,250 or an increase of 12,500,OOO in ten years. The ratio was 173,9O1 people to each representative, and the House numbered 356 members The ratio under the new census probably will reach 100000. With an increase of B, 225, ,464 shown by the present census and letting majority fractions of the apportionment count for an additional member, as has been the cus- tom, this would make an increase of eigh- teen members in the next House. Reappor- tionment on this basis would cause only four states to lose representatives. These are Maine and Virginia in the east and Kansas and Nebraska in the west. These states would lose a member each. Any ra- tio smaller than 100000, which would save them their full representation, would cause a considerable addition to the membership of the House.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE
 TO THE LEGISLATURE
(contlnued From First Page.)


 a unit for progress in this work, and will tolerate no steps backward It is vastly more important that all the boys and girls in Alabama should know how to read and write than that few hundred or thousand should have a classical education.
 The common schools for the present year will remain open on an average of not less than five months whilst in 1896 they aver aged 66 days The improvement in the quality of teachers has been almost as great. This is a great result to show in the short period of four years. We can now assert that in Alabama the door of a free school is open to every child and no longer can it be charged that we are deny ing anyone an opportunity for that instruc- tion that will illuminate his pathway in life.
 Permit me to respectfully summarize the progress that has been made in the past four years of Democratic administration. l. The deficit has disappeared. ?. The credit of our State is at the highest point in its history. 3. Not dolalr of money has been bor- rowed in four years, and for more than three years every just claim has been paid promptly on presentation. 1. Substantial progress has been made in securing better assessments and compell- ing all to contribute their just share to the burdens of government .. The convict department, from being a drag on our treasury is now contributing nearly $50,000 annually to lessen the burden of the people.
 6. Our direct appropriation for common schools has been doubled and the schools are taught better and the term has in- creased from 66 days to five months. '. School teachers have not been com- pelled to discount their well-earned com pensation.
 8. Many thousand acres of school lands have been recovered or compensation ob- tained for the same. g. All officials receiving public revenues are faithfully and promptly accounting for the same, and the State has not lost dol

lar by any defaulter in over three years.
 10. Very few errors. and these generally of small amounts, are now found in the accounts of public officials.
 Il. Crime has diminished 15 per cent, as shown by the report of the attorney gen. eral
 12 The volunteer troops are in an ad mirable state of efficiency and the expense of maintaining them has been largely de creased
 13. Confederate pensioners are now receiv- ing nearly twice as much as a year ago. A. beginning has been made in the res cue of wayward and criminally-disposed children.
 I feel that I should do myself and the State an injustice did not mention in this message the cordial invitation extended to me to take part in the Alabama Kearsarge ceremonies and the royal welcome accord ed to myself and staff and party by the Governor and people of New Hampshire. Such a gracious and generous welcome could only come from the hearts of brave people who have obliterated all sectional prejudices and rejoice in the heroic deeds of our fathers and brethren because they were American citizens.
 I am sure that this visit will unite Ala bama and New Hampshire in friendly bonds, and that the affectionate regard that sprang up in our hearts for our hosts struck a responsive chord in theirs.
 Respectfully,
 JOS. F. JOHNSTON, Governor.

ADJUSTMENTS.

A large and representative audience greeted Innes and his band at the Jeffer- son Theatre last night The programme was as follows:
 | Overture to "Mignon" Ambrose Thomas); ?. Serenade-"Rococco" (Meyer- Helmund) 8. The Toreador song from "Carmen" (Bizet)-Signor Alberti; 1. Kam- menoi Ostrow (Rubinstein); 5. Whirlwind Polka for cornet solo Gevy)-Mr. Kryl; 6. (a) "Cupids Story" Qnnes), (b) Prince Charming" a two-step march Qnnes); '. Aria, 'Ah, Fore E Lui." from Traviata (Verdi)-Mme. Noldl; 8. Concert Waltz "In the Vienna Woods" (Strauss); g. Scenes from Faust (Gounod)-Mme Noldi, Signor Zerni and Sgnor Alberti; 1O "The Village Blacksmith" (Michaelis). For eneores the band played patriotic airs, including Dixie"
 Innes' band numbers forty-fve perform CTS. The instruments are distributed after the regulation model for brass and reed organizations, six or eight comets, four horns, three trombones two baritones, two tubas, twelve or thirteen clarinets, two flutes, two oboes, an English horn, four saxaphones, and the full complement of percussion. In addition to the wind and battery there was pleasing innovation of bass viols (two) and a harp. Among the musicians were many first-class artists, and MT. Innes, usual, directed in a mu- sicianly manner but somehow the ensem- ble was not altogether satisfactory. The attack was not even. One of the most thoroughly enjoyed numbers on the pro- gramme was perhaps Rubinstein's Kam- menoi Octrow. It is a religious fantasia, reminiscent of the monastery and it was played witn nice expression.
 All the Yocalists were good, but Noldi was the best. Not often is a soprano of Noldi' s quality and rank heard in Birmingham Her phrasing is excellent and her scale work is beautiful She was fully equal to the Faust" music, but her finest work was in the aria from "Traviata."
