GOD WILL GUIDE US
 IN THE PHILIPPINES
Says Senator Morgan to Rev, MT. West in a Letter of
 Coincidence.

A beautiful letter of condolence from Senator Morgan has been received by the Rev. s. P. West of Birmingham. It was called forth by the recent death of the Rev. MT. Vests father Colonel John F. West of Shelby County, and incidentally the Senator refers to the government of the Philippines. The letter reads:
 Warm Springs, Va, Aug. g, 1900. Rev. S. F. West:
 My Dear Sir:-I saw in the Age-Herald yesterday the announcement of the death of your father, and l wish to say a word in honest tribute to my departed friend. My first acquaintance with him was In 1s45, and we were friends to the day of his death.
 John P West was true and honest man. who loved his country and his friends with unfailing devotion. He was a man of real ability, having a sound judgment, much wisdom gained from experience, and keen perception of the character of men, with courage to applaud what was right and to condemn what was wrong. His early life was cast among the pioneers of Gen. tral Alabama, who had few advantages for educating their children. But he ab- sorbed knowledge by observation and adopted the integrity of that class of peo- pie as being worthy of his approval and the guide of his life. In this he made no mistake, for there is no truer or better class of people. The result was, a good man. I met your father recently at Calera, where I was on my way to speak, the next day at Clanton. We had long and pleas ant conversation about old times, and dis sussed some of the complex questions we now have to deal with. I was pleased to find that our opinions were in general ac- cord and was instructed by some of his views of current questions. In closing our conversation he asked me upon what prin- ciple or precedent I thought the goverfi- ment of the Philippines could be safely conducted. I cited him to Section of Article of the Constitution of the United States, and said to him that man who respects his oath can ever give to any peo- ple under our jurisdiction any other than a Republican form of government, and that form of government is the best for the people, that was ever devised by the wit of man. He agreed with me, but said. "Who will guard the consciences of legis- lators and leaders so that they will ob- serve these duties." I answered, "The God who has provided to you and a conscience that makes us careful of the rights of the weakest and poorest people, will still rule ia the councils of the American people, He said: DO you believe that" I an- swered, T believe 1t, and trust my fate and the fate of my country to the care of God" He said3 'I am glad and proud that you take such high ground in your course in the Senate"
 You will understand that these parting words of my friend have left g. deep im- pression on me, and esteem 1t a privilege to tell you about 1t. With sincere regard. xoura. JOHN T. IoRGAA

MILITARY REVIEW
 AT CAMP LAWTON Will Take Place This Afternoon, and a Brilliant Scene Will
 Be Presented.

Governor Johnston will review the Sec ond Regiment at Camp Lawton this after noon The regiment is in splendid cond- tion and has shown marked improvement during the week under the able command of lieutenant Colonel Wiley. The review will take place at 5:3O and if the weather be pleasant there will no doubt be a large crowd from the city to witness the ceremonies. The officers of the regiment have arranged a banquet for their visitors and a number of civilians have been in- vited to be present for this occasion. The Governor and his staff, in whose honor it will be given, will be present.
 The regimental drills in the afternoons are much enjoyed by the visitors
 Colonel Wiley entertained at supper last night Ross c. Smith and party of friends including several ladies.
 Captain Williamson of Company A will be officer of the day today and Lieuten- and Walker of Company I officer of the guard.
 Colonel B. L. Holt has returned from arranging for the encampment of the ar- tillery.
 Adjutant General Brandon has gained some reputation as horse-trainer or breaker. There is one horse in the regi- ment that none of the officers will ride and Colonel Brandon asks for this one every day. He has succeeded in trans forming an intractible horse into good saddler. The experiment has been watched with great AtereSt.
 The discipline at the camp is excellent and the department of the men is highly complimented Very few men are absent from the daily drills and they are showing marked improvement under the skillful guidance of their officers. <"
 The regiment was reviewed by Colonel w. w. Brandon, Adjutant General of the State, yesterday afternoon. The men made an excellent showing. The regi- mental drill was the most satisfactory yet held by the regiment. It was witnessed by large number of visitors.

BEAUTIFUL WOMAN ASSAULTED BY MAN With a Weapon in Seeking to Enter Her Apartment
 at an Hotel.

John Hendricks, a young white man, was fined s100 and 1SO days extra in the Inferior Criminal Court yesterday on the charge of assault and battery with weap- on on Dora Washburn of the Victoria Ho- tel.

Forecast for Alubama
AMUSEME IS.

"Kelley's Kids will be the opening att traction of the season at the Jefferson Theater, appearing there tonight. They have been appearing at Atlanta the last two days and the Constitution says of the performance:
 Aside from the vague impression that Kelly's Kids, the farce comedy by R. F. Outcault, which opened the season at the Grand last night, is a travelling adver- tsement for the New York World and the Waldorf-Astoria The effect upon the au- dience was not an unpleasant one, for it pictured in an entertaining way the life of East Side Through years of experience those who hazard the first night of a season come away unscathed, for experi- ence teaches them not to expect too much The general verdict last evening, however, was that 'Kelley's Kids proved the best opener seen here in years. If this can be taken to mean that the remainder of the season is to be correspondingly better, the play should be more popularity attended at the performance this afternoon and night.
 "The special curtain used for 'KelIys Kids and designed presumably by MT. Out eault, the delineator of the East Side char acter, attracted much attention
