New York, Dec. 3O.-A special to the
World from Ottawa says: One grave
result of the war in South !Afrc, to
Canada is the arousing of all the lat
ent hostility to British rule among the
French Canadians. Recent illusions
of hostility to France have developed
the French Canadians hostility. The
dream Of the great majority of
French-Canadians is not only Il new
France on the banks of the st. Law
renee, but another independent state
on the continent Of America. So deep
~ imbued are the French Canadian
population with the idea of the indie
pendeEce of this country that not a
few consider the time ripe now for it.
This idea is expressed in a recent let
ter from ID. Monet, NJ. p, to the press
of Montreal. He writes:
II do not wish to spend one cent to.
bind any closer the bonds-eXcept the
commercial bonds-which unite IFS to.

WEATHER PREVENTS MEETING,
Marion County is Enthusiastically Back
 ing Judge Matthews

Guin, February 19.-(Special.)- 1.-The dem- oegatic executive committee of this county was called to meet yesterday for the pur- pose of arranging for the April primary but on account of the exceeding cold wealth. CT there was not a quorum present and con- sequently no business was transacted. It is likely that another call will be issued in a short time.
 Hon. Walter H. Matthews has just re- turned from ten days trip through the northeastern portion of the state in the n- terest of his candidacy for state auditor. He reports his prospects very 1attering, and feels very hopeful of success. This, Marion county, has always been one of the staunchest democratic counties in the state; it has never failed to give a good majority for the nominees, and now for the first time presents candidate for a state office in the person of Judge Walter H. Matthews, a lifelong, hard working dem- oerat and in every particular we'll quali- fled to perform the duties of the office of state auditor, and we feel that we are en- titled to representation on the state ticket, and the solid democracy of northwest Ala bama is enthusiastically backing Judge Matthews.

THE CONTEST WILL
 BE HEARD TODAY Russell County Executive Com mittee Meets at Scale. PURELY A LOCAL FIGHT If Girard Beat is Thrown Out the Re- suit in the County Will be
 Changed and WilfGo ss
 to Morgan
PURELY A LOCAL FIGHT

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mabson, Montgomery, February 1s.-(special)-Tae contest instituted by the candidates for f5cal offices in Russell county will be heard before the Democratic executive committee of that county at Scale tomor- row.
 It will be remembered that 1t was charg- ed by four candidates for local offices that they had been defeated by illegal votes cast in Girard beat on the day Of the pri- mary. When the executive committee met at Scale, a petition was presented to the committee, signed by c. O. Martin, H. L. Dudley. E. M. Ragland and others, cnarg- ing that more than one hundred votes had been cast in the beat irregularly. The committee granted a request for time for filing contest papers, and the contestants have filed papers showing that Ill votes were cast in the beat, eitehr by persons living in Lee county or Columbus, Ga., or re-vottng. If the committee finds that suf- ficient evidence to prove that the above number of votes was cast illegally, there is doubt but that the election in the county will be declared null and void and a new primary oordered. On the face of
 
 county over Senator Morgan by 61 major ity, but if the whole vote of the county is thrown out, there is but little doubt that the county will swing into the Morgan col umn.
 Governor Johnston lost many of his strongest supporters in the county by the alleged wholesale use of money in Girard beat. among them being c. T. Clifford, a member of the county executive committee from Girard beat. MT. Clifford was John ston man when the pools opened in Girard on the Sd, but it is said he soon became disgusted with methods used by his side. and in the afternoon he cast his vote for Morgan. He is one of the high-toned, Christian gentlemen of the county.
 The senatorial fight cuts no figure in the contest. however. It was instituted by the local candidates who claimed that they were sufferers by the use of money. Both sides will be represented by able counsel, and 1t is probable that the committee will remain in session two or three days hear ing the testimony. If a new primary is ordered, it is not believed that but one sin gle man who appears to be nominated by the vote of the last primary will win again. John E. Henry will again win for the leg islature, his vote having been much larger than that of any other candidate.

He made a distinction between Catholics and cleri- calls and asked the minister of public worship to institute a close surveillance over the militant clericals.
 Count Bonisai, the minister of public worship, repling to Signor Bulle, said the government had ordered the procurers gen. eral to report every four months respecting the clerical movement and strict instruc- tions had been given to see that the laws of the country were scrupulously observed. .advices from the provinces, he added, in- dicated that the movement had diminished in importance there recently.

THINKS RATIFICATION VOID
Negotiations to Settle Marshall-Carter Conflict Was in Progress Last Night But No Agreement
 Was Reached

Frankfort. Ky, February 19-The im- pression that the contest over the govern orshdp will not be ended until it is fought to a finish in the courts is not lessened by the action taken by the democratic eena- tors in their session today ratifying their former action, by which Senator Goebel was declared governor. The republicans who spoke for Governor Taylor said that he will not recognize as legal the proceed tngs taken today, and which it is antici- pated will be duplicated In the mouse to- morrow, but has told them that he looks upon these proceedings as illegal, and will not quit the fight until the whole matter is passed on in the courts of the last resort His position is that the former proceed ings being void, the ratification today gives them no legal vitality; that the legal pre- siding officer, Lieutenant-Governor Mar shall, had declared the-session adjourned when. the vote in question was taken.
 Negotiations to settle the conflict be- tween Lieutenant-Governor Marshall and Senator Carter over the chair in the sem ate went on again this evening, but no agreement has been reached so far.
