 AT STATE CAPITAL
Resolution Looking to Early Adjournment of First
 Session Introduced in the House

pected to send a delegation here favoring the bill.
 Mir, Riley has introduced into the House bill to repeal the hog law of Jefferson County It has developed since the intro- duction of the bill that it has some epposi- tion in the city, and especially in Beat g. MT. Riley is anxious to have an express sion of the residents of the beat relative to the matter.
 MT. Graves of Montgomery presented a bill in the House today which seeks to create the Fourteenth Judicial Circuit or Alabama, The proposed circuit is to be composed of the counties of Fillmore, Au- tauga and Montgomery. It is provided In the bill that immediately after the passage of the bill, the Governor shall appoint judge for the circuit to serve until the next regular election of circuit judges, when his successor shall be chosen by a vote of the people. The solicitor is to be chosen by the Legislature
 The bill has the support of the hontgom- cry bar, on the grounds that more courts are needed to transact the business in Montgomery County.
 The bill providing for an associate judge of the Criminal Court of Birmingham was reported favorably by the Judiciary Com= mittee today and was placed upon the calendar for third reading on tomorrow. The bill is not to have srl.vln sailing in the House. Mir. OBrien stated this morn- ing that he would oppose the bll and he will probably have the backing of other members. MI. OBrien-ahas bill in the House to establish the city court of Bes- semer and he seems to think enc new court in Jefferson sufficient.
 MT. Benners and Mr. Dill are urging the Birmingham bill and they say that they are not opposed to MT O'Brien's Bessemer bill, and can see no reason for conflict between the two measures. Senator Nor row is supporting the Birmingham. The Snn fnr tr ahGaRa thpnn ln4ye 1narr to attend the funeral of his sister, Mrs. Cathcart who died in Charleston, and his attitude on the Bessemer bill cannot be learned this morning.

such importance as to demand immediate action, or require at the present time a continuous session.
 Now, for the purpose of giving the Gov ernor-elect time and opportunity to regain his health, so as to enjoy the high privilege of expressing his views and outlining his plans and policies for the general welfare of our State In the usual time-honored custom of the Governors message and to put at rest all seeming complications; therefore, be 1t
 Resolved, By the House of Representa- tives the Senate concurring, That the Gen eral Assembly take recess, beginning on the second day of December, 1900, and re- convene on the day of February A..-."
 The resolution went to the rules commit tee, and there it will in all probability be amended so as to fix the date of adjourn ment about December 10. This Is the popu- lar date with the members
 The Governor-elect.
 It now seems certain that Colonel Sam ford will take the oath of office at the home of his son in Opelika next Saturday, and his son; MT. T. D. Sanford, is expected to come to Montgomery in the capacity of private secretary to the Governor, and take temporary charge of the office.
 It is also rumored here that Mir. Sanford, the younger, will announce the appoint ments of some prominent officials by his father, and have them sent at once to the Senate for confirmation. The programme, as here outlined, Is that President Jelks of the Senate will then be invited to take charge of the duties of the chief executive e1 ol1 covered to assume the duties of the high office to which he was chosen by the ex- pressed will of the people.
 MT. Wallace of Madison, chairman of the appropriations committee, introduced in the House today the regular biennial appropri ations bill The bill differs from the last bill in three important particulars. It makes an appropriation of $450,000 per year for three years for the public schools in stead of for two years as formerly. This Is in accordance with a suggestion from Su- perntendent Abercrombie. The bill also pro- vdes for two additional clerks for the ed- ucational department at salaries of $12OO per year each.
 The other feature Is the failure to appro- priate a salary for the back-tax commits sioner It Is generally believed that the baek-tax measure will be repealed. There is bill now on the calendar repeating the bill, and also one to abate all suits now pending by the commissioners against tax payers.
 There will be joint session of the two houses tomorrow for the purpose of elect ing a United States Senator. Of course this Is a mere matter of foyp, as 1t Is believed that Senator John T. Morgan will receive every vote cast In the session. All parties represented in the General Assembly have endorsed the grand Alabamtan.

All the Powers Will Hardly Sanc-
 ton the Arrangement
THE OBJECTIONS ARE NOT STATED
1t is Believed That Several Alterations Will Have to be Made Before the United statea Will Ac-
 cept the Treaty.

Washington, November 2G.-The State Department has been informed of the ar engagement or understanding preliminary treaty Git is not possible now to learn in just what form the matter stands) reached by the foreigners al PekiI, but it is not re- garded as eXpedient to give out for pubn- cation at this time any detailed information regarding it. It may be stated, however, that the arrangement stands very poor chance of receiving the sanction of all the powers represented in the Pekin confer enee, unless some material amendments are permitted.
 Just what the objectonal features are only be surmised, in view of the ad- verse decision of the authorities respecting publication. But accepting as accurate the statement from Pekin that the basis of the agreement is to be found in the French note, it is easy to perceive that there are no less than two points, which If included in their original shape, would not meet with the unqualified approval of this gov- ernment. For instance the President ex- pressly reserved his opinion as to the prop siton that he Taku forts be dsmantled. He also withheld his approval of the French proposition that there be a perma- nent military post at two three points on the road between Tien Tsin and Pekin.
 Several Agreeable Points. There were several points to which the assent of the United States was given, | namely, providing for the punishment of the guilty Chinese, who may be designated blythe representatives of the powers at Pekin; for the collection of equitable in- demnities (and in this connection suggest ed reference of Inc to Hague tribunaD and for the mainteance of the legation guards at Pekin. The lat ter, however, was to be temporary until Congress acted on the matter
 Unless the ministers at Pekin have made very substantial change in their require- ments of the French note, therefore, it may be predicted that our government may feel obliged to seek to make some alteral tions in the arrangement before 1t gives adherence.
 There is some reason to believe that the indemnity proposition has taken such an excessive form so as to make it impossible for the Chinese government to meet the demand, and this fact, taken in connection with the demand of some powers respect ing the punishments, may oblige our gov ernment to endeavor to nave the demands moderated.
 There are indications. too, that in those efforts our government is to receive the support of one of the most powerful gov ernments represented al the Pc confer ence, and one which has generally been supposed of late to have favored an ex- treme position.
 Dr. Von Holleben, the German ambassa- dor, who recently returned to Washington after an absence since last spring, called at the State Department today and in lelg interview with Secretary Hay sup posedly in reference to Chinese matters, among other things.

German Press RiIed.

Berlin, November 26--The entire Germa press refers editorially this evening to a report that United States Ambassador White on Saturday handed the new Ameri- can note regarding the Chinese settlement to Baron von Richthofen, Secretary for Foreign Affairs, all the papers declaring that Germany refused to comply with the demands therein formulated.
 When MT. White was approached on this subject this afternoon he replied that he had no interview with Baron von Rich, thofen on Saturday, nor had he then re- ceived the American note. He asserted that he had received nothing from Wash- ington since Thursday afternoon and that what he received then was not a note but merely instructions in consequence of which he had an interview with the Secreta for Foreign Affairs on Friday
 Mir. White reiterated that the result of the Friday interview was satisfactory, ad- ding:
 Tt was merely interchange of inter- change of interviews in which no definite propositions were submitted and no deh- mite engagements were entered upon. That was said was in the nature of a sugges- tion looking toward greater moderation in the punishmento, but this was only a sug- gestion, which Germany could either &C., cept or reject It was not formal prop osition."
 The Vossiche Zeituns says:
 "A demand for more modera ton in the punishmsnts Is sensible demand which Germany could accept without either loss of dignity, especially as 1t appears that Great Britain sides in this particular with the United States"

Officials Deny Story.

 The Dispatch had a special after mid- night from Ronceverte, w. Va, which is in within few miles of every point at which the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway crosses the Greenbrier. The special reports a freight wreck with no loss of life at AL legheny and mentions delay of passenger trains in such way give rise to pas- senger wreck theory.

Reports Denied,

Hinton, W. Va, November 26.-There have been various reports tonight about bridges or the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad being washed out and trains running into the river with all aboard lost There Is nothing in any of these reports. All the trains are accounted for either at Alderson or White Sulphur Springs, and the passengers on the delayed trains are being entertained at the hotels in the best possible manner. While none of the bridges are washed out, yet the road has suffered much damage for a dis tance of about thirty miles in embankments being washed out and in landslides the most serious being the landslide near one of the Greenbrier River bridges not far from White Sulphur Springs.

1890, which resulted in the finding Of at
least 5000 fraudulent ballots. Although
the proof was of the most convincing
kind, it was only by extraordinary
energy that indictments were secured
against sixty seven election officers.
Justice Lippincott was one Of the
most active in pushing the trials. After
the culprits were convicted and sem
fenced, an appeal was taken to the
supreme court. The convicts were in
the meantime released on bail and we're
appointed as clerks and inpectors in the
city departments.
The supreme court upheld the lower
court, and the convicted men imme-
diately appealed to the Court of Errors
and Appeals. Again they failed, and
as last resort planned 10 go to the
United States courts. They intended
by this action simply TO delay the cases
until they had dropped from public no
tice, when they planned to get the Court
OF pardons TO save them.
On hearing of this scheme, Justice
Lippincott, despite open threats, had all
Of the offenders brought to court, and
they were locked up the came day. The
Justices action aroused the most favor
able comment throughout the state.
His conduct was made all the more
notable through repeated hints that he
would not dare to imprison the offend
ers. Five months laters, however, the
Court of Pardons released all Of the
