SHOULD BE MOURNING
William Redmond Says England Has
 Gained No Great Victory

Dublin, April 21.-William Redmond, M. P, writing in the Evening Herald tonight, asks: "Why are cheap flags flying and why are little children taught to sing praises to royalty? A visitor from another p1anets might think these things were caused by victory or by the prevalence of peace and plenty"
 For a half year past, he says, a bloody, hideous war has waged in South Africa, but so far it has yielded no great victories at which England can rejoice, while the list of killed, wounded and missing number 25,OOO.
 "Is this why" he asks, "draggled flags are. flying in Dublin and children are taught to sing the anthem? It is in mourn ing that all lovers of justice and Christian ity should be instead of rejoicing.
 ''The queen must know" he adds, that there can be no reality in the nationalists greeting until Ireland enjoys her long-de- layed rights. Those who endeavor to prove that Ireland is contented will only injure 1relands dearest aspirations"

 to be a Big Success.
COMMITTEES HARD AT WORK
Floral Parade Has Aroused Much In terest in Society Circles-Some of the Features That Will be
 Presented During Week

The grand street fair and midway to be held under the auspices of the local lodge of the Order of Elks during the week be- ginning May fl, promises to be one of the most successful and novel entertainments ever given in Birmingham.
 The local committees are leaving nothing undone to make it regular ''Eks affair."" which means "the best" and have behind them the strongest street fair promoters in the country.
 The floral parade to be given in connec- tion with the fair will be one of the most popular features, and has already aroused great interest among the leading society people.
 Second avenue, between Fourteenth and Eighteenth streets, has been set apart for the fair and midway, which will also occu- py the vacant lots adjoining.
 The Fair and Midway will give afternoon and night exhibitions and will comprise twenty different shows, with no objection able show in the lot.
 The American theater will present the leading vaudeville artists of America and of the country's newly acquired possess ions.
 The Hindoo theater will have a rare pro- gramme of acts by the strange, weird peo- pie of the Orient. These people can always give a remarkable performance.
 The trained wild animal show will intro duce the man-eating lion, the lion hunt, the worlds best trained pumas, the danc- ing bear, monkeys for the children, baby lions, snakes, and open dens of rare ani- mals new to this country.
 The streets of India will have decided novelties, and will illustrate the typical "The Land of the Sun and the Moon. There will be numerous professors of the mystic cult; acrobats, gun spinners, sword fighters, bowling and whirling dervishes. Here can be seen the sacred bulls in their tiny carts, and here also will be the riding donkey, burros and camels. Elephant rid ing may also beindulged in to the hearts content
 The German village will be among the really interesting features. It will present a series of typical German scenes Upon the stage will be a continuous vaudeville per- formance appropriate to the "Vaderand A qdartette of yoedlers and vocaists will carry visitors if natives of Germany, back to the old times that were so dear to and had the approval of Bismarck; and, if of foreign descent, and informed on the stage, will bring up the past as a dream, again to hear the Lullaby" song of the late Fritz Emmett. Spectators may sit at the alfres- coed tables, and be served by pretty Ger man girls with delicious beverages
 All the great acts and all the great novel; ties of both hemispheres will be under the control of the management of the Street Fair and Midway, insuring innocent but splendid amusement for all classes. The special acts which will be put on in the center of the Midway to be headed by the greatest of the great-Achlle Philion. on the Spiral Tower.

EXPOSITION EXPENSE
Commissioner Peck Says Our Expenses
 Have Been Very Light

Paris, April 21-Regarding the demand In congress for detailed statement of the expenditures of the United States Paris exposition, Commissioner Peck said to- day:
 '"The statement sent to congress was prepared under act of congress by officials who have had long experience in these matters. As to my personal travelling &C., counts, I have visited Paris before the present. just twice, in the performance of my official duties, since my appointment twenty months ago, at a cost to the gov ernment of less than $500 instead of the large amount published, which probably referred to the travelling expenses of the heads of departments and experts in the United States and to Paris. We have been obliged to collect our exhibits in every part of the United States, involving, necessari- ly, considerable travelling expense to the corps of experts This does not apply to any other great nation, their territories being comparatively small, and near Paris and saving large freight expense Yet the appropriation of the United States is less in proportion to our exhibit areas than the amount provided by other great nations. There has been most conscientious econo- my practiced throughout"

KILLED WHITE MAN
Negro Then Escaped the Posse and
 Committed Suicide

New Orleans, April 21.-A special to the Picayune from Minden, La, says:
 A telephone message from Allentown, near the Bossier line, today, gave this news of the killing of MT. Will White by a negro: MT. White yesterday had an oc- casion to reprimand the negro, and this morning, after working two hours, while Mir. Whites back was turned to the negro, he deliberately shot him in the back, killing him instantly. Immediately the negro ran to his house, about quarter of a mile dis tant and before a posse could apprehend him he killed himself This is an actual case of a negro committing suicde, as the people in that section have no hesitancy in openly meting out vengeance in such cases. Another message this evening says that two more negroes were taken out and riddled with bullets, they having admitted to knowing of the negro Jeff Toisons in- tention of committing the deed, and watched the murder. Their names are John Humely and Ed Amos.

BINGHAM REPLIES TO EDITOR CONWAY Says Governors Statement as
 Printed is Correct, IN REGARD TO MIR. M0RAGNE He States That He Was Present When the Governor Said That He Re-
 cognized Moragne as Ser
 geant- nt-at-Arms

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mabson, Mont gomery, April H.-(Special )-Julian H. Bingham, who was selected as state chair man by one wing of the republican party, makes the following statement relative to the denial that Governor Johnston ordered the hall of representatives turned over to MT. Moragne:
 "Mr. F. F. Conway of Huntsville de- nies that the governor made the statement appearing in the Advertiser of the 2Oth inst, in which I was reported as saying: T recognize the right of the executive com mittee to appoint a sergeant-at-arms and had ordered the hall turned over to MT. Moragne as the appointee of the commit tee; he had the right as an officer to say who should go into the hall
 'I was present when the governor made the above statement to a reporter of the Advertiser, and say emphatically that the report is accurate in substance. I asked the governor if he objected to the publica- ton of his remarks and he replied Ger tainly not
 T had several interviews with the gov ernor after the state committee passed the resolution providing for the appointment of sergeant-at-arms, and at no time did he question, but In each instance recog- nized the right of the committee to control the hall through it authorized agent this sergeant-at-arms. The governor informed me that if the key were in his possession he would not hesitate to deliver it to the committee through MT. Morange, but in asmuch he had responded to Mir Vaughan's request for the key, and the some was then out of his possession, he hesitated to demand its return for the req son that he did not want to be placed in an attitude of being unfair to either side, but that MT. Morange could If necessary force entrance to the hall, provided we to the public property.
 While he at no time consented to recall the key, he promised to deliver the rotunda and hall to MT. Moragne free from dele gates, and at the time of the difficulty be- tween Messrs. Moragne and Scott the gov ernor had decided to clear the hall in ac- cordance with the original position taken by him. but before doing so he submitted several propositions to MT. Vaughan and myself looking to peaceful settlement of the contesting delegations, none of which were acceptable to MT. Vaughan.
 'The governor instructed MT. Moragne to take charge of the hall and to admit such persons the committee might decide were entitled to seats on the floor of the convention The danger of personal con- flicts with persons that might be excluded was discussed fully between the governor MT. Moragne and myself. Mir Moragne asked the governor how far he should go in the discharge of his duties and what he should do if attacked. The governor said Defend yourself, of course.'" "

ENGLISH COLLEGES WIN
American Schools Lost in the Great
 Chess Contest

New York, April 21.-Oxford and Cam bridge combined defeated the American University and Harvard Columbia and Yale in a cable chess match after two days struggle, by the score of 41s to 1h. While the British victory was anticipated, the overwhelming defeat of the Amercans s matter of surprse. The Oxford contin- gent of the British team was in good form and proved much stronger than expected. The trophy donated by Professor Rice will remain in England for another year.
 The first of three consecutive plays for the British universities was achieved by Ellis of Oxford over Coumbias crack player, Sewall. Cook of Yale next resigned to George, another Oxford man, and for the third time the American universities had to acknowledge defeat, when Hunt of Princeton surrendered to Softlaw of Cam bridge.
 The best contest and most interesting game was that waged on board No. be- tween Wiles of Cambridge and Austelle of Yale. which was won by the Englishman
 Hopkins, the only American to win, beat SCddy.

Jackson, Miss, April 21.-With the ex- ception of a heavy fall now in progress there is no change in the flood situation tonight.

MORGAN CONGRATULATED
He is Receiving Letters from All Over
 the United States

Washington, April 21.-(Special )-Senator Morgan of Alabama is receiving letters of congratulation from all over the United States upon his success at the recent dem ocratic primaries in Alabama. These let ters came from men of all shades of politi- cal opinion, who congratulate Senator Nor gan, his state and the senate upon his re- tention in public life. Practically every senator, with the conspicuous exception of MT. Tillman of South Carolina, have per- sonally congratulated Senator Morgan up- on his success and they regard his con- tinuance in that body as an honor to 1t. Perhaps nothing could add to Senator Nor gan's satisfaction over the result except the many evidences that Alabama's action is so signally endorsed by citizens of other states.

 COLONEL COLSON
 WAS ACQUITTED Jury Returned a Verdict in Eigh- teen Minutes. THE CROWD WENT WILD No Order Could be Established in the Court Room Until the Acquit- ted Man Had Left the
 Building
THE CROWD WENT WILD

Frankfort April 2.-Ex-Congressma David G. Colson, who has been on trial here for the last four days for the murder of Lieutenant Ethelbert Scott and Luther w. Demare, was acquitted at 6:35 o'clock this evening. The jury was out only eighteen minutes. There was silence as the jury filed into the court, and Court Clerk Ford read the verdict:
 I've, the jury, find the defendant not guilty"
 As the last words were read the crowd arose and sent up wild cheer Colonel Colson the defendant, was standing near the witness chair. The crowd took no mo- tice of the court officers, who pounded vigorously for order but piled over the railings surrounding Coson and insisted on shaking hands with him. They gave an ovation to the jury and Colonel James Andrews, Colonel Colsons chief counsel.
 The cheering kept up until Colonel Col son left the court room, and as he did so, it was taken up by the Beckham soldiers in front of the court house, to which the colonel very gracefully returned salute
 The argument of the case occupied three whole days E. F. Minott of Knoxville and Colonel Scott spoke for the defense and Commonwealth's Attorney Franklin ana Judge Denny for the prosecution. Tonight Colonel Colson is receiving messages from all over the state congratulating him upon his acquittal.
 The tragedy resulting in Colsons trial was as follows: In duel with Colonel Scott in the lobby of the Capital hotel, crowded at the time, Colson killed his an- tagonist, Scott, and Luther w. Demare and Charles Julian, bystanders, and wounded Captain B. B. Golden. Both Scott and Colson emptied their pistols, fifteen or twenty shots being fired in all. Scott had seven bullets in his body. Colson was wounded in the arm. He received the wound early in the fight, and it was shown that Scott fired first.
 Colonel Colson was tried on an indict- ment charging him with the murder of Scott. He is also indicted for killing De- mare, but this will now be dismissed.
