BOTH FACTIONS MAKE CHARGES
Fight for Craftsmanship of State Republican Committee
 WaxeS Warmer.

The fight for the chairmanship of the republican state executive committee which Is being waged by William Vaughan the present chairman and United States dis trict attorney, and Julian Bingham, collec- the days wear on.
 It is claimed by the friends of Mir. Bing- ham that MT. Vaughan's victory on Satur- day, when six counties are reported hay ing given him their endorsement, was not altogether regular, especially in the case of Tuscaloosa county. It is charged by the Bingham faction that the committee was irregularly called without the proper mo- tice being given. On the other hand, the friends of Mr. Vaughan say that majority of the committee was present. and that 1t was regularly called to order by the sec retary.
 On Saturday. the executive commmittee of Elmore county met at Wetumpka, ana gave it's endorsements to MT. Bingham. This it is claimed, was done by an almost unanimous vote, while MT. Vaughans friends contend that eight out of sixteen of the regular committeeman were for him, and that eight proxies were voted by the Bingham men. It is also contended by MT. Binghams friends that the three counties which have selected their delegates have instructed for Bingham.
 United States Marshal Dan Cooper, who is staunch supporter of MT. Bingham, makes specific charges in the Tuscaloosa case, and says that meeting will be regularly called at an early date. when it is claimed MT. Bingham will receive the endorsement.
 Behind the chairmanship fight which ap- pears to be the all-absorbing issue, is the fight on National Committeeman Young blood, who is represented by MT. Bingham.

New York. January 29.-Miss Maud Come the Irish Joan of Are, arrived today on the French line steamer La Normande from Havre. She will address several meetings in the interest of the Boers. Upon the ar rival of the steamer at the pier Miss Come was escorted to the Fifth Avenue hotel. 1.-The object of my visit" she said, ''ls to arouse sentiment here in favor of the Boers. l have been in France. Germany, Holland, and there have heard expressions of sur prise that America was not foremost in championing the Boers. They are strug- gling for liberty, they are fighting as you did, for independence.
 Another reason that I am here is to work for the unity eff sentiment between the Irish in America and the Irish in Ire land. That sentiment is so strong now in Dublin that they don't dare to march the troops down the main streets for rear or having them missed. and assaulted. The present time is the best that Ireland has ever had to strike blow for freedom -
 "In Ireland at present there are only 6OOO troops where formerly there were 2OoV9. One reason why Ireland mas not been in good position ito strike a blow is because she had followed Parnell's teachings that liberty oouold be secured by parliamentary motions. It was said that we could llnve freedom by asking and holding out our hands. God knows that our hands have been held out long enough. Now we see that we must go back to the first 4dea- freedom must come by force. The spirit in Ireland today is the same as in 1867"
 In speaking of striking blow at Eng land, Miss Come admitted that the con stabulary must be reckoned on. She said, however, that England is in a position now where she must grant demands. One work of the Irish party is to stop enlistment To illustrate the straits to which the English government has been reduced for men, Mss Go1nne told the following story:
 "I was visiting the Northern Dublin hos pital when two recruiting sergeants came in to get recruits. After much labor they got two. Both men were Ill, and the nurses said they could hardly stand one drill. The papers in England may be agita'bing that England will put 5O,0O0 more men tn the field, but she will have very hard work getting them.''
 Miss Come also told the story of iher re- cent arrest in Dublin while driving to a meeting of Boer sympathizers.
