RUSSIAN PRESS
Fears Trouble Will be Disastrous to
 That Country.

St. Petersburg, November 1.-The Rossya has made the original discovery that the Chinese troubles threaten to ruin the Rus sian empire.
 If the powers, 1t is added, continue their present policy China will be unable to pay a money indemnity and consequently the powers will demand and secure mining, railroad and commercial concessions which will result in the division of China into spheres of influence and ultimately into the partition of China, in spite of the as- surance of the powers to the contrary. The Chinese, it is further asserted, will be- come indignant and immigrate to Siberia and the yellow horde will again pre- cipitate itself toward European Russia, which will sink to the position of a second rate power. The other powers, probably, will be satisfied with this eventually, their interests being solely commercial"
 The Novoe Vremya finds the situation worse, and says the powers must act inde- pendently. Henceforth it asserts each pow CT must bear the responsibility of its own army The paper adds:
 While the ministers were in danger there was some excuse for commander in-chief, but after Russia had freed Tien Tsin and planted the first flag on the walls of Pekin she wisely withdrew a majority of her troops from Count von Waldersee's functions"
 Commenting oll the Japanese Russian discussion the Novoe Vremya says: '"The English journals in the Japan ports are | convinced that the Japanese can easily | Vanquish the Russians. However, tho English back-down in the case of Port Ar thur has opened Japans eyes. The first campaign gave the armies of the two pow CTS opportunity to learn and esteem each other"
 Several of the papers take their cue from the Novoe Vremya and follow up its argu- ment in the same strain The Boersse Ga- | zette observes that "all the nations are seeking a Japanese alliance, but Russia's alone is valuable"
 The paper adds: Russia and Japan will dictate the future of East Asia

Huntsville, November H.-(Special.)- Charles P. Lane, editor of the Huntsville Evening Tribune, and Frank F.

The cause of the fight was an editorial which appeared in the Tribune Monday afternoon, branding Conway as a tramp politician, pie hunter and a man whose business and social record is fourth class" MT. Conway, who is an applicant for the vacant collectorship at the port of Mobile was in Birmingham
 His candidacy for the office provoked the editorial in the Tribune.
 By-standers say that Conway approached Lane this morning and demanded some apology for his expressions. moment later the two men began exchanging blows,

 The condition of Governor-Elect Sanford Is giving his friends here much concern. There Is much difference of opinion as to the Governorship in event of his death, and while there are those who believe that the Supreme Court would have to decide the question, the majority who express them selves are of the opinion that in such an event PEasidAnt 4slks af the Senate would exercise the functions of the office.

The Pacific Cable,

II is said that advocates of the Marconi
system of wireless telegraphy will interest
themselves this winter to cause a considera-
ton of that method of communication in
lieu of the proposed Pacific cable. The
proposition to establish stations at San
Francisco and Honolulu and to flash mes
ages to and fro without the Intervention of
wires appeals to the economists. who would
Of course welcome a chance to avoid the
expenditure of the several millions required
for the laying and maintenance of first
class ocean cable.
1t is to be hoped that this project will not
be seriously considered at any stage of the
effort to connect San Francisco and Homo
lulu electrically The wireless teiegraphy is
as yet in a sufficiently experimental stage
to prevent its immediate application to the
Pacific needs. 1t has succeeded across com
paratively small bodies of water and has
been practically applied in off-shore tests
and uses but 1t is folly to consider 1t as a
possible substitute for the Pacific cable at
this stage of its development
The Pacific cable is urgently needed. and

possible saving when every factor in the

Oscar Wilde.

Oscar Wilde wrought little. if anything
that was good and wholesome during his
literary career He accomplished nothing
for the betterment of his fellows. At the
same time he wrote much that was de-
cadent. demoralizing and degenerate, and
offended grievously against the moral laws
He a bad influence from the time when
he adopted eccentric dress and manners in
order to attract public attention. His pun
shment and subsequent lapse into obscu-
rity appeared to teach him no lesson, for
the literary works which he is reported to
have produced during his residence in Paris
after his release from confinement are of the
same unwholesome stamp those which
marked his serious career a dramatist
Wilde produced Clever, works, filled with
epigrams and harsh dogmas about social
conditions. But there was nowhere in his
work the spark of the real genius which is
destined to survive the passing of a fash
ion. 1t was never to the credit of the cult
that accepted Oscar Wilde that his plays
were permitted to prevail as a type of the
popular taste. The spectacle of the early
Wilde furore, when men and women went
into ecstacies over his poses, his dress and
his smart sayings, was nauseating.
