The lord mayors son, Harry Newton,
elected one of the disturbers. When he

of the man whom he had put out attacked
young Newton and pushed his head through
a glass panel. His face was cut severely.

agreed to dispatch an army of occupation so, 900 strong, 12,000 men to be furnished by Russia and Japan each 10000 by Finland, 5000 by France. and 5000 by each of the other powers. including America, there is hope that the dismemberment of the vast and ancient and homogeneous empire can be postponed. But this statement lacks confirmation, and besides there are not enough nations of the 5,000 -men class to make up the balance of the proposed force. Under the plan proposed Russia and France combined send about as many men as Ja- pan and England would, leaving Germany and America and the other countries to be the balance of power.
 It is also stated that an agreement has been reached touching the maintenance of present. spheres of influence and commer- eial agreements, and also touching the guarantees and compensations to be de- manded from China. If America is a party to such an agreement, we have indeed reached a stage where Congress is pretty much abolished so far as foreign affairs are concerned.

After Pekin, What?

The answer to this question depends to a great extent upon the moderation and wis dom of Russia and Japan. Both are neigh bors of China and both have plenty of soldiers ready for the conflict. Both are i''-~s:=sg soldiers in China as fast as ships '"i' thither Both will CO., operate In the restoration o- der. the de- mand for guarantees and compensatiolr from China, and the establishment of re- sponsible government Both have allies, for If France aids Russia, Great Britain will certainly aid Japan. The clements for combustion, an explosion, are at hand and ready.
 But with every power on the spot co-op- erating to a common end, at least at the outset the chances are becoming greater that the inevitable conflict between Russia and Japan will be postponed. Neither side will be inclined to offend the rest of the world when all are on the spot, and every action is open to criticism. Japan may consider the present moment favorable, be-
  cause the Siberian railroad is incomplete, and yet Russia may desire to strike while English troops are detained in South Af- rica. But when both have infuriated mill lions to face in a vast country without railroads or even cart roads, and those mill lions are armed with Mausers and Maxims and Krupp guns, it becomes plainer day by day that international greed will be post poned to a more convenient season. Rus sia prefers to win by intrigue anyway and altogether it seems more and more reas- surfing that China will be China still after this dreadful world scare is ended. As soon as the international troops can march to Pekin, distant only eighty miles from Tien Tsin the fog will be cleared away. Admiral Seymour with only 2,30O men marched to a point twelve miles from the imperial city.

stop short the stream of capital flowing in- to this state for investment in manufac- turing enterprises. It would stop the hints of this district. The mint of the Birming- ham district Is the pay roll of the district. As little as the average man might think of it, the pay rolls of the Birmingham dis trict annually put more money in circula- ton than the total cotton crop of the state of Alabama. Estimating last years cotton crop at s90 bale, 1t bought S21, GOO, 900 into the state. The labor pay rolls of the Bir- mingham district are $2OOO,OOO per month or s24000,o0o per year. In other words, to all practical purposes there is coined $24,- 600, GOO annually for the payment of labor in this district This has been the cause of prosperity. This will continue to be the cause of prosperity unless the operators and miners by foolish action cut off this gushing spring of prosperity.
 It will be all politics this week. The Democrats meet in national convention at Kansas City to nominate President and Vice President and to make a platform. The Presidential candidate is practically nominated. It will be Bryan by acclama- tion. Over the Vice President and the plalIOrIn, however, there IS SOlnB to De d fight There is an element in the Demo- cratic party which wants to go back and re-write every plank of the Chicago plat form, fighting the contest over again on the old issues. There is another element in the party which wants to reaffrm in general terms the principles of the party as set forth in the platform four years ago. and then proceed to expose the rascality of acts and the issues which its administra- ton has made. This latter element, com posed of the ablest, wisest and most prac- tical men in the party, will probably con trol when the convention actually gets down to business. It is also quite certain that strong eastern man will be put on the ticket as Vice President. Sentiment throughout the country is strongly in favor of David B. Hill. Hill doesn't want 1t himself, but if nominated he could not decline. Of course, there is no possibility of loud-mouthed Sulzer of New York being nominated. Sulzer got much higher than he was ever entitled to go when he broke into Congress. He is man of no ability advertiser of himself and is now managing to spread himself throughout the country in newspaper interviews as the spokesman of Mr. Bryan. No one who knows Sulzer will ever believe this. Sulzer is a candi- date for Vice President and is naturally booming himself, but it is not probable

am beeinning to think that the opera tors and miners are not the practical men I thought they were last week They have agreed to disagree. A long drawn out strike is among the possibilities. The min CTS have made demand for an increased scale with many frills and furbelows sur rounding it. The operators offer last years scale, and refuse to budge an inch fur ther. With them it seems to be take the existing scale or nothing. With the min CTS it seems to be more wages and kniek- knacks or go on a strike. The joint con- vention quit deliberations yesterday. All miners in Alabama stop work today pend- ing settlement. Eight thousand miners will be idle The delegates from the miners go back to their respective local organiza- tions today to report that the operators have refused their demands and to ask for further instructions The local miners or ganizations meet tomorrow and the dele gates will come back here Tuesday to re- port their final decision to the joint meet ing.
 There are those among both operators and miners who say that the matter can be settled. There are those among both classes who declare it can only be settled by strike lasting until one side or the other wears out. A strike would close every coal mine in Alabama, except those oper- ated by convicts. The Tennessee Company can turn out about 2,000 tons of coal day from those of it's Pratt Mines, which are worked by convicts. The Sloss Company can produce 1000 tons of coal a day from its convict mines. This production is, how ever, a mere drop in the bucket. All the manufacturing concerns and railroads would have to get coal from without the State should a prolonged strike occur.
 I listened the other day with much inter- est to the speeches made by MT. Baxter, representing the operators, and MT. Fairley, representing the miners. They are both good takers. Both are good men. Both are orators. I know nothing about what ought to be paid for mining coal, but I do know that men of the ability of these two men ought to get together on terms which would be profitable to both operator and operative.
 There is but one question to be consider ed in this matter; is the miner receiving fair wages for his labor If so, he should accept the present scale; if not, he should ask for a scale which will be just to both himself and his employer.

that even the New York delegation will consider him seriously for a moment.
 I am glad to see that it is the purpose of some of the Democratic leaders to make James D. Richardson of Tennessee per- manent chairman of the convention. Rich ardson is splendid presiding officer, thorough parliamentarian, and a man of ability. With him as chairman the con vention will dispatch business.
 The Chinese situation grows more serious each day. Ii Hung Chang is the only Chinese official handling the Boxers in ap- proved Chinese style. The old Viceroy has waded into them with an axe and is chop ping off heads right and left The Chinese Viceroy has supreme power He beheads man first and investigates the case after wards. For grave crimes, such as leader ship in the Boxer movement, in the Cam ton province, over which u Hung Chang is presiding, the arrested culprit before being beheaded is punished by being gashed in the fieshy parts of his body for half an hour or more before his head is sev- cred from the body by a merciful blow. In these grave crimes it is a principle of Chi nese jurisprudence that all the male rela- tives of the principal are held to be par ticipators in his offense. Thus for one mans sin whole families are executed. Every male relative, however remote dwell ling under the same roof of the offender, is doomed to death. The only exception made is in the case of young boys, who are allowed their lives, but on condition that they are made eunuchs for service in the imperial palace
 Ii Hung Chang, in fear of being assas- sinated himself, is engaged at present in executing everybody he or his court off, ficials suspect Were Lii Hung Chang at Pekin, instead of two thousand miles away, he would probably have put an end to the Boxer movement before this.
 However, 1t will not be many weeks before the combined forces of the powers will have marched into Pekin, relieved the ministers and taken possession of the Chi nese capital. Then the perplexing question of what to do with China will come up Shall the Chinese continue to hold and govern their own country, with the open door to the trade of all nations through out the great empire, or must it be sliced up into spheres of influence proportioned among the nations now operating there with military and naval forces If the lat ter, there may be more wars before final decision and division.

It is much too late in the century to discuss or urge the value to a community of a building for young men based on the Y. M. c. A. plan. Such buildings and associa- tions long ago in progressive cities passed ehe experimental stage. A centrally located Y. M. c. A., with its library, reading rooms, athletic equipment, bath rooms and the like, not to mention it's meetings and charities, becomes rallying point for pung men who would otherwise find con- pions under less favorable circumstances environments. Just as a town needs /sehools and hospitals and places of amuse- ments, so it needs as part of it's equip ' ment Young Mems Christian Association It goes without saying that such an asso- iation. rarely if ever dependent upon an kowment, cannot apply the fees of mem. 1ss to other than running expenses, which necessarily considerable.
