IMPORTING COKE Hsa
 FROM KENTUCKY
Supply of the District Not Equal
 to the Demand.
LOCAL OVENS ARE TAXED
Furnaces Forced to Shut Down Tenn porarily-Use of Brown Ore Has Created Active Demand for
 That Kind of Land

It has been known for some time that the blast furnace companies of the Bir- mingham district were experiencing more or less trouble in securing sufficient mate rial to keep their furnaces in blast. It has been stated in The Age-Herald several times that certain of the furnaces were forced to shut down at intervals on account of the lack of either coke or ore. but it was believed that this condition was being over come and that by spring ample supplies of raw material would be at hand.
 This, however, has not proven the case. There Is still demand for much more coke than can be manufactured with the present facilities in the district, and at least one of the companies has been forced to purchase that material in another state It is stated that one of the Birmingham companies has recently purchased a large quantity of Kentucky coke, which is now being shipped 10 Birmingham. The freight charges on this is said to be s4 per ton
 With all this demand for coke there seems no probability of the production in the Bir- mingham district increasing to any appre- eiable extent in the near future.
 The furnaces in the Birmingham district are said to be using more brown ore than at any former period, and this has created a great demand for brown ore lands One of the local furnace companies a few days since purchased tract of several hundred acres of brown ore lands in North Ala bama, and it is understood that other com panics are on the lookout for similar lands.

The Reply
"Unlted States Senate, Washington, D. C., March 24, 1900.


 Washington, b. C., March 24, 1900. 'iAIr. R. H. Hagood-
 Dear Sir: In reply to your kind letter of the 20th, enclose the papers which dis prove the statement that I voted for Fred Douglas after the troops had been removed from the state houses of Louisiana and South Carolina That subject was then Of vital interest to the country and the defeat of Douglas confirmation in the senate, or the opposition of the entire body of demo- crats to 1t, was counted upon by the 'stal- wart' republicans as the test that would convince Mir. Hayes that nothing but, the enemy could hold the south to obedience to the United States, so when the case of Douglas came up in the senate seven or eight great orators delivered eulogies on him, with a view to provoke southern men to vote against him.
 While this 'touting was going on, the carpetbaggers then strong in the senate, slipped off into their cloak room, intending to leave the democrats in the majority. so as to make them defeat Douglas. When we saw this, Garland, Hill and Jones agreed with me that we would break up their game by voting for Douglas. Harris, who agreed with us, was out of his seat, or was paired. and did not vote. It was a critical moment. but we laid aside our prejudces and voted so as to save our people from continuance of military rule.
 "Very truly yours,

Historical Facis

Frederick Douglass was nominated for marshal of the District of Columbia on March b. 1877, and confirmed March F, 1S77 On the question; Twill the senate advise and consent to the appointment of Fred eTck Douglass?' those who voted in the affirmative are, Messrs. Allison, Anthony, Blaine, Booth. Bruce, Burnside, Christian cy, Conkling Davis of Illinois, Dorsey, Gar land, Hill, Hoar, Howe, Ingalls,, Jones of Florida McMillan Mitchell Morgan, Mbr- Till, Oglesby, Paddock Patterson, Plumb, Rollins, Sergent, Saunders, Teller, Wad- leigh and Windom.-Yeas, 30.
 Those who voted in the negative are Messrs. Bayard, Bogy. Coke, Davis of West Virginia, Dennis, Taton, Hereford, Me Creery Merriman, Saulsburg, Wallace and White-NayS, F.
 On April 3, 1877, President Hayes directed tGle secretary of war to withdraw the troops from the state house at Columbia, g. C., and on the same day an order was trans mitted to General William T. Sherman to that effect, who in turn on April ,. or dered General Hancock, in command of the Atlantic division, to carry out the order of the president and the secretary of war The records show that on April 10. 1877, Colonel Thomas H. Ruger reported that the detachment of troops were withdra wn from the state house at Columbia.
 A similar order was given by the presi- dent and secretary of war as to the troops at the state house of Louisiana on April 20, 1877. The records show that General Augur reported on April 2, 1S77 that the troops had been withdrawn from the vi- cinity of the state house in New Orleans.
 Thus it will be seen that twemty-three days after the confirmation of Douglas, troops were withdrawn from South Caro- lima and that thirty-seven days after the confirma tion troops were withdrawn from New Orleans
