TOMLINSON AT OXMOOR
Pours Hot Shot Into the School Book
 Trust

OXmoor, March 29-(Special) first political meeting of the campaign was held here tonight, at the school house, at which Hon. John w Tomlnson, candidate for governor, spoke in his own behalf. He es- pecially dwelt on the school book trust, which he has made a very live issue in Alabama politics. He said that the trust was charging the people of Alabama two or three times what they are charging in other states that had passed laws on the subject, and four five times what school books could be printed and sold for at profit. He said that this morning R. w. Harris, photographer at Birmingham, had showed him some books printed in Ireland a number of years ago by the national board of education in Ireland, which were put in the hands of the teachers and sold at cost, and that readers sold for from 2 to 10 cents, that Johnston's dictionary sold for 12 cents, Euclid's elements Of ge- omtry, 6 cents, and so on; and this was when printing was much higher than 1t is now. He showed that a novel, there being a very limited demand, sold much cheaper than school book the same size. for which there was much greater demand, and which could be printed much cheaper on ac- count of the great number.
 He said that the school book trust was fighting him. which was the best way to judge who was fighting the school book trust
 At the close of Mir Tomlinsons speech strong club was organized In his Interest as follows:
 c. V. Norris president.
 w. J. Williams, first vice president.
 l.. O. McMekin, secretary.
 T. J. Fucker, assistant secretary.

NEW COMMISSION
 READY TO START
Members Meet and Confer With
 Secretary Root.
THEY WILL SAIL APRIL 15
Primary Purpose of the Philippine Conn missioners Will be to Establish Local Civil Governments
 in the Islands

Washington, March 29-The Philippine commission met today and agreed upon She personnel of the staff that is to accompany on certain outlines, which they will follow in their wake in the Philippines
 By appointment the commission waited on Secretary Root about 8 o'clock this after noon and they spent three hours behind closed doors in earnest conference. At the conclusion of the conference the secretary said that the discussion had covered the probable scope of the work of the commits sion for the next two years So far ne had not been able to present the commits sioners written instructions, and what pass ed today was rather preparatory to the re- ception of these instructions.
 It was not the intention at this time to make the instructions public. But it might be stated in general terms, the secretary said, that the new commission would have much broader powers in dealing with the problems arising in the Philippines than had it's predecessors. The primary pur- pose was the establishment of local civil governments throughout the islands. In the selection of the civil officers the commits sion would have a free hand. When asked whether the civil authorities would doini- nate the military the secretary contented himself with the reply that as he saw it, no question was likely to arise on that poipt there would be no chance for nric- tion. The comnsi ttee will meet again to- morrow and continue the conference with Secretary Root in the afternoon. That will be the last meeting of the commission in Washington before their departure for Ma nfla. They will dine at the white house to- morrow evening and tomorrow night three of them, General Wright, Judge lde and Professor Worcester Will go to their homes to prepare their private affairs for two years absence in the Philippines. Judge Taft, the chairman of the commission, goes to New York Saturday, but will return to Washington before starting on his voyage
 The commission will gather at San Fran cisco on April 12 and will sail for Manila on the 18th on the army transport Hancock
 The personnel of the attaches and stan has been practically completed, but Judge Taft preferred to defer the announcement of their names until tomorrow in order to comply with certain necessary formalities.

LONDON PAPERS CRITICAL
They Condemn the Action of the Arbi-
 tration Board

London, March S0-The Daily Mail, com menting upon the award at Berne, says:
 ''The boundless procrast situation of the tri- bunal is difficult to explain, for not the smallest trace of equity can be discovered in the award of the beggarly 60oOO0 pounds awarded as compensation for a concession valued at $6,OOO,OOO. We fear the arbitra- tors allowed themselves to be prejudiced against British interests by the irrational Anglophobia which has seized upon the Swiss people. By their conduct the arbi- trators have struck a deadly blow at ar btration.'
 The Daily Chronicle says:
 "The award corresponds with the general anticipation. Portugal is condemned to pay, including interest, nearly a million sterling Probably the ingenuity of Preto- ria was a fertile contributor to the inex- plicalble delay of the arbitration. We won der whether the diplomatists at Lisbon think they have had the value of their money"
 The editorial then proceeds to reproach the British government with doing nothing to stop President Kruger's intrigues in the Delagoa Bay affair, and says:
 We would not be surprised to find that President Kruger had thoughtfully banked nice sum to enable Portugal to pay the indemnity and so to provide against the contingency he foresaw so clearly in March, 1888. On the other hand, President Kruger has had all the value he is likely to get out of Delagoa Bay, and he is not the man to pay for favors received if they can be had for nothing. In this state of uncer- tafnty we should be glad to have some an- nouncement from Lord Salisbury

LARGE WHEAT CROP
Limestone County Will Soon be Making
 Her Own Bread

Athens March 29.--(Special.) l.)-Limestone has the largest and most promising wheat crop this year of her history. During the past year two large roller flour mills have been erected in this county and this has given the farmers stimulous to grow their wheat for bread at home and last fall hun dreds of acres were sown in wheat and the crop from every direction is reported very promising. It will be only few years at this rate until this part of the great Ten nessee valley will be producing its own bread. Hitherto all patent flour had to be shipped to this county, and thousands of dollars have gone out of the pockets of the cotton growers that they might just as easily have kept for bread.
