NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT
 HAWTHORNE AND DAVENPORT

Julian Hawthorne and Homer Davenport are not only. respectively, the most noted writer and most famous cartoonist on the American press, but they are the cleverest and most entertaining men one may find in a years journey. They came to Bir- mingham to see and to gain information They are so clever in conversation, how ever, that we have waited for them to talk that we might listen. They have made themselves popular because of their re- spective personalities and because they came not with an auger to bore into Br- mingham's purse. I have been in Bir- mingham nearly three years. Hawthorne and Davenport are the first two news paper men to come out of the north with pretty talk and yet with nothing up their sleeves. They have neither begged, bluffed nor asked for anything; and they have not got much. Hawthorne has had a few ci- gars and an occasional Scotch highball. Davenport has had nothing because he neither drinks, smokes nor chews. Nobody has given him anything to wear, because he brought clothing galore with him. Breck. Musgrove, however, has promised him game rooster, which Breck says can whip anything this side of Cape Horn. Davenport says he can withstand all the temptations of life with the exception of chicken fighting. He is a great lover of birds and animals. At his home in East Orange N. J., he has the greatest ndivid- ual collection of pheasants in the world, and he also has one of the four blue blooded Arabian horses in America. Davenport started life on farm. Ambi- tous in his youth he sought to learn the shoemaker's trade. Failing in this, he says, and after trying many other things, he went into what he claims to be the next best business-that of drawing pictures. He says, however, he has never gotten over his failure to become a first-cass shoemaker.
 Hawthorne and Davenport came here be- cause they have heard much of Birming- ham and Alabama in New York during the past year. They came to see what is here Hawthorne to write his impressions and Davenport to get types of the people. Davenport has been particularly impressed with the "hill billy" type, few of whom were corralled and brought in for him to see by Colonel Breck Musgrove. flaw thorne has already written several articles for the New York Journal, one of which a description of the tour around the min eral district-appears in this newspaper, with a few sketches from the pen of Davenport, of the people seen on the trip. They appear to like Birmingham and its people and will probably remain here sev-

Army Is Well Disciplined

Kingston, Jamaica April 21-News re- ceived here from Hayti says the army there is in a high state of discipline and prepared for any eventuality. Scheming politicians, it is added. are closely watch ed, and the finances, under Minister Faine, are satisfactory. The officials are recev ing their stipends regularly, President Sam is receiving popular subscriptions and the bulk of the people are apparently tired of revolutions. France is said to be putting pressure on the republic for preferential treatment of French products and failing, France threatens to levy a prohibitive duty on Haytien coffee There is popular uneasiness over this feature of the situa- ton.

THE ONLY ualy NEWSPAPER IN ALAsAmA
TurkeY's Unpaid Bill.

The unspeakable Turk is up against Uncle Sam. He owes the latter who is customarily mild-mannered, $9OOOO which he promised to pay sixteen months ago, but which he continues to neglect in ae- cordanee with his custom. The Sublime sheriff coming
 The bill that Uncle Sam proposes to col- feet was created in 1895 when in the course of the Armenian troubles some buildings of American missionaries at Harpoot and Marash were destroyed. The bill now pending is for the value of the destroyed buildings.
 The administration threatens to send the Turkish minister his passports, and to also send cruiser to the Golden Horn This would be an entirely safe proceeding, for the Turkish cruisers are of the kind that do not cruise. They resemble in some re- spects our old show frigate, the Constitu- tion They are not has beens, for they never were. And then, too, such fire "oiho III pShdii ol tfie IiiSSloidfieS "ho want the money due them would lend eclat, or words to that effect, in the com ing campaign, although too much hunting for Europe's sick man would be apt to pail on the public taste.
 The case is somewhat complicated. too, with the American hog Mohammedans do not eat hog meat, but still a small quanti- ty of it has been imported, and to save the lives of the non -Mohammedans who wanted such meat an trade was issued prohibiting all such importations. The American hog was declared unwholesome. This of course rendered it necessary to collect the missionary bill at once.
 The Turkish minister to the United States is All Ferrouh Bey, and Minister Straus. who represents this country in Constanti- nople, is at present in Washington, and this is another reason why negotiations are proceeding at rapid rate in Washing ton in the way of collecting the bill of S9O, 900. The original bill, by the way, was $500, ,000 but it was compromised at $9o00o. which the Sultan agreed to pay. The present tempest in a teapot will probably be ended by the payment of the sum due, in order to save postage, and friction, and the dignity of the unspeakable Turk

THE SHIPS THAT 60 TO SEA

By Gordon Noel Hurtel Out in the distant offing where winds are
 blowing free, The restless ships are sailing to seek the
 open sea. tr-t They've weighed restraining anchor and = crossed the buoy line To breast the dangerous pillows that
 frolic on the brine, Away from land and harbor, to brave the
 oceans might, They pass like white-winged spectres
 that float into the night, To where no tides are throbbing upon the
 treacherous bar, Their only gleaming beacons the constant
 polar star. Here on the shore fn standing and look
 across the bay And wonder, while I'm watching the ships
 that sail away, How many in defiance the surging waves
 shall ride, How many, ruined wrecksge, be borne in
 the tide? For ships as strong and worthy as these
 their sails have set, Have caught the winds as proudly the
 storms IS fearless met Have laughed at wrathful breakers that
 riot OCT the main, And yet--no port has ever beheld them
 come again Lifes tide know is flowing out toward
 the open sea, And on it's sweeping current 1t surely
 beareth me- Though lullng winds be canning the wa-
 ters into rest, Or dark and unrelentless tle tempest rage 2 abreast, stA Still, still it bears me onward in its eter-
 nal flow If time shall safely harbor or wreck, I
 do not know, Tle ships in wonder offing are sailing from
 the shore, And some shall reach a haven. and some
 shall sail no more..S tmfwtpaamw ptdafrni fytyawomamft

At BIoemfontein.

The winter season has already brought upon South Africa great rains and some frosts, and forage on the veldt is rapidly disappearing It will soon be gone. To the difficulty of procuring 4000O horses will then be added the difficulty of providing the 40,- 600 with rations of oats and hay, and this difficulty will be felt alike on both sides America is feeding the British horses, and a pastoral country must do like service for the Boers.
 It is generally believed the large army of Lord Roberts will begin to move northward this week. It will be march in the mud, for the rains have been heavy and of long continuance, but mud is an obstacle that applies to both sides. Both will cling to the single railroad line, it is plain.
 The condition of Mafeking is distressing and the censor does not permit the world to know what is going on for its relief. No one knows where Lord Kitchener is He may be headed towards Mafeking with a view of making it base for movement against Pretoria. All this is, however, con- lecture. All that is known is that Colonel Baden-Powcll is still holding out and that winter is coming on. No one expects much from the generals in Natal, and the serv- ices of Methuen at Kimberley are not promising. The generals with ''pull' are evidently not unlike their American proto- types The hope of the situation is cen- tered in Roberts and Kitchener, and they are probably about to meet that hope, or cast gloom over all England.

BLouNr COUNTY ENUMERATORs

From the Washington Post.
 Underwood of Alabama felt happy yes terday. He had had tussle with census supervisor named Jones, and had won out. Jones, of course, is a republican, but he had promised to appoint as enumerators in Underwood's home county the eleven men whom the congressman might name When the list appeared not one of Underwood s selections had been chosen. He protested to Director Merriam. Yesterday he heard from the census office. Jones' appointees had all been displaced and Underwood s men were installed Consequently the demo- crats of Blount county feel that the gov ernment has not been established in vain.

He is young man whom no one can swerve from what he deems the right.

There may be many ballots before a choice is reached. A strong delegation goes down from Jefferson for General Shelley.

 I see that the Washington correspondents are predicting that Senator Quay will be seated by the United States senate on next Tuesday. I am glad of it. Senator Quay is a republican, but Pennsylvania is a repub- lican state, and whoever it might select would surely be republican. I am glad Quay is to be seated, because of all the republicans in the United States senate he has been the staunchest and most loyal friend of the south among the republicans of that body It was he who aided the southeren states to defeat the iniquitous force bill several years ago. He has voted for appropriations to improve the rivers and -harbors of the south and for the con struction of public buildings in the south He has always voted to accord the south ern states equal rights, in all appropria- tions, with the northern states While Quay is a shrewd politician, and what might be termed political boss" yet he is able fair and just The democrats can gain nothing by preventing Quay from be- ing seated.

The expectation of carrying these states against MT Bryan is mere moonshine. New York will go as Pennsylvania mas gone, and Connecticut and New Hamp- shire will follow Massachusetts. The chances are very good that every one of the states placed in the anti-Bryan list will send Bryan delegations to Kansas City. At no time has the opposition to the champion of equal rights been weaker than it is today He has friends and sup porters today where he had open op- ponents in 1S96 and this will be made to all when the conventions in New York and the central west are held.

The delegates and alternates would pack the Jefferson theater full But 930 is the number we have to deal with when a nom- nation is to be made. Under the two thirds rule the winner must secure 62O votes, or to put it negatively, the opposi- ton must be kept from securing 311 dele gates.
 At this time the opposition has not start cd, so far as delegate-getting is concerned. MT. Bryan has these instructed delegations
