SIXTEEN KNOTS
Average Speed Maintained by Cruiser
 Alabama

Lewes, Del August 30.-The battleship Alabama, which has just completed her of ficial trial trip, arrived at the Delaware Breakwater this morning on her way to Philadelphia, where she will soon be for maly turned over to the government.
 The battleship made the run from Boston to the Delaware Capes in twenty-eght hours maintaining an average speed Of sixteen knots, which is her contract speed From Nantucket shoals Iightship in run of fifteen and a half hours the ship aver aged 1926 knots without being pushed or having special preparations made for the run
 The average would probably have exceed ed sixteen knots for the entire distance but for a. two hours experience with a fog.
 All Alabamians should subscribe to the battleship Alabama fund for presenting a worthy Alabama gift to the great ship. The fund is open at the Peoples Savings Bank and Trust Company, Birmingham Judge Samuel E. Greene, trustee of the fund.-

BET HEAVY ON CORBETT
And Sent His Congratulations to the
 Victor In New York

Ludwig Lasker of New York, who rep resents Stachelberg & Co.,, is in the city. He is an ardent admirer of James J. Cor bett and wagered heavily on the success of the Californian in his fight with Mccoy last night. He had something over $500 at odds of two to one on the fight, and this morning is "to the good" just that amount.
 Immediately after the result of the fight was announced last night he wired his congratulations to the victor in the follow ing language:
 Birmingham Ala, August 30, 1900. "James J. Corbett, Thirty-fourth Street,
 New York:
 "Heartiest congratulations from the whole city of Birmingham and from your old friend; LUDWIG LASKER.
 MT. Lasker is a personal friend of Cor bett, and has been for years, and none was more joyed at his victory over Mccoy last night than he. lie says he is willing to back Corbett against any man in the world.
 MT. Lasl,er recently returned from two months stay in Europe he having spent the greater part of tie time in Russia on business for his house. He carries with him passports issued by the Secretary of State of the United States, and which en- tries. He says that he enjoyed the trip, but that he was glad to get back home, and that after all there Is TO country on earth that compares with the United States

had been in the hospital wounded There were several caves roofed with timbers, heaped over with earth, which served as bomb proofs.
 The bulletin board was covered with sig nificant notices. For instance:
 "As there is likely to be a severe drop ping fire today. women and children arc forbidden to walk the grounds.
 lowing to the small supply of vegetables and eggs, the market will be open only from g to 10 hereafter. All horse meat is inspected by a physician"
 MT. Conger had the first secretary s house. Seventy American missionaries oc- cupied the chapel The French contingent had the pavilion on the lawn.
 The bravery of the women was notewor- thy. They became so accustomed to fire that it was difficult to restrain them from walking about the grounds at all times.
 Would Rather starve
 When appeal was made to petition the Tsung Lii Yamen for vegetables some said they would rather starVe than take help from that quarter. The Yamen's food sup ply was a farce-only sufficient for one day. When meat was asked for, the reply was that this could not be furnished because a state of war existed in Pekin.
 The Yamen placarded a proclamation ex- horting the people to kill all foreigners be- cause the latter had made war on China in attacking the forts at Taku.
 The legations were fiercely attacked from July IT to 9. At the latter date a nominal truce was agreed to and extended to Au- gust 3, although the Chinese repea tedly vi- plated 1t. There was considerable rifle fire from August to Il, and then the Chinese mounted smooth bores. The mainstay of the foreigners was an old gun used by the British in 186O which was found in a junk shop by Mitchell, the American gunner. This was mounted on a Russian carriage; found by an Italian. Ammunition was ft- ted to it, and it was christened "the inter- gum"
 The foreigners remarked that relief had been long delayed. but they insisted that they had never despaired of the outcome. The Chinese are said to admit that they lost 5000 killed during the siege.
 The Chinese method was a heavy and fire. During the last two nights the Chinese officers urged their men to charge the foreigners and exterminate them before the international forces could arrive. The Chinese soldiers replied that they could not stand the bayonets.
 The relief of Pekin was notable achieve ment chiefly for the forced march of four armies over single difficult road and in sickening weather.

purpose of erecting a suitable monument at Washington to commemorate the ser vices of the soldiers and sailors of the army and navy of the civil war.
 Adjutant-General Stewart was directed to send telegrams to the President of the United States, General Chaffee at Pekin and General Macarthur at Manila, express ing the admiration of the members of the Grand Army of the Republic for their dis tinguished and patriotic services to the country during the present trying times. They were prepared and read to the dele gates amid much applause.
 A resolution was unanimously adopted asking the railroads centerfng at the point decided upon for the next annual encamp- ment to grant a rate of one cent a mile. Ii this should be refused by the railroads, power was by the resolution vested in the commander to remove the encampment to some place where the rate could be se- cured, or to abandon the parade entirely. As the parade is the feature that draws large numbers to the annual encampments no one but delegates will attend unless rate of one cent a mile Is granted.
 Denver was selected as the place Tor the next annual erieampment.
 The installation of the new officers then took place, and an adjournment sine die was taken.
 Besides the business meeting, today's programme included a sham battle, in which the First and Second Illinois h. fantry, Second Illinois Cavalry and bat tery of artillery took part.

ANOTHER EXTRA SESSION
Of the Kentucky Legislature May Be
 Called.

Frankfort, Ky, August 30.-There is a rumor in legislative circles that Governor Beckham will call another extra session upon the adjournment of the present ses- sion. The object of this, if one is called, will likely be to gerrymander the Fifth Ap- pellant District where Chief Justice Hazel Riggs is to be elected this fall. The dis trict gave a Republican majority last year.
 The Senate today did not hear the read ing of Jolly's election bill and proceeded to the organization of its committees. Senator Debois is here comforting with the Republican leaders regarding a new election law.
 The house today passed a resolution that the speaker appoint committee of twelve to which shall be referred all bills passing the amendment. A resolution pleading for similar law was passed. There seems little doubt that a new law will be enacted.

ARE OPPOSED
 TO POLYGAMY
Joseph Smith Deines Doctrines of the Reorgan'zad
 Church.

Kansas City, August 30.-In an address today to members of the reorgan!zed Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints it's founder detined the churchs at- titude toward polygamy. The occasion was the annual meeting Of the saints at their annual reunion at Washington Park.
 Joseph Smith stated in the most en- phatic words that the Latter Day Saints did not believe in polygamy; that they had never believed in 1t; that their founder, Joseph Smith, had so stated again and again, in unmis takable words.
 "In the doctrine and covenants of Jo- seph Smith, published first in 1855, and again and again after that time, plural marriage is forbidden said President Smith, '"The covenants are unmistakable. No one of us at that time ever thought of plural marriages until Joseph Smith, the founder of the church, died. Then a few years later that branch of the church which had gone to Utah proclaimed its be- lief, through revelation, in plural marriage The doctrine and covenants were published in Utah with that section eliminated which forbade plural marriage. The section for bidding plural marriage was contained in every edition until the Utah church pub lished its own edition.
 We Latter Day Saints are heart and scul opposed to plural marriage. We be- lieve that bigamy forms no part of the teachings of our church. My father has been dead ffty-six years. I have consist ently followed my fathers teachings
 T am here, the representative of the re- organized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. l am also here as the son of my father. I am trying to follow out the doctrines of my church and to rescue my fathers name from obloquy. My father was not law-breaker, neither was he a polygamist. It is for me to say this, that the American people may not injure the church and do my father wrong"

 On the other hand, the rescuers were haggard and rough-bearded. They dragged themselves along as if ready to drop. their khaki uniforms dripping with precipitation and black with mud.
