MAYOR ARRESTED.
Elmira's Chief Executive Charged With
 Msdoings.

Elmira, N. Y, November A-Dr. Frank L. Flood, Mayor of this city, has been placed under arrest by virtue of warrant issued by Recorder Michael Danaher, upon complaint sworn to by Alderman Francis Mecann.
 The warrant charges forgery in the first degree. The action was not surprising, as it had been rumored ever since the arrest of Miss Catherine Loonie that she had in an affidavit implicated the Mayor in her crme-that of offering for record forged deeds of property belonging to Miss Mar garet G. Kennedy of Binghamton.
 Upon waiving examination the Mayor was held to bail in the sum of $10,000 to await the action of the next grand jury. Floo-i Is 49 years of age, has wife and two daugh- ters, and is one of the most conapst tent ard successful physicians in the city.
 He was at the last municipal election elected Mayor over former City Chen per lain F. E. Bundy, now serving a sentence in Auburn prison for embeZzllinE &5aG.. SS0 GOO of the city's funds.

Fair Trade in China.

The Southern manufacturers of cotton too vigorously for "the open door," for the question is coming up very rapidly. Their greatest fear relates to 'sthe open door in Manchuria, Q province that cruel bloody Russia has grabbed and is apparently de- populating Russia does not know "the open door, she is not speaking terms with it. She has never tried it even al home She has no intention of trying It of the South very naturally ask Secretary Hay to do his best to secure it in Man churia as well as elsewhere. The Southern mills have heretofore sold many goods in Manchuria, but Russian occupation there wonld put an end to such trade.
 The manner in which the appeal of the Southern mills is met by the esteemed Re- publican papers, is seen in tue following Quay organ, and a thick-and-thin support CT of the administration. It says:
 The best way for the South to secure such outlets for their goods is, not to ap- peal to the Federal government for aid, but to put their shoulders manfuliy to the wheel and send Congressman to Washing ton who are in harmony with such pro- posals The delegations that come from the Carolinas Alabama and Georgia are not the kind that help to secure such mar kets As a rule, they are against the Fed eral government in all it's plans for a worldwide commercial supremacy. If the Southern Congressmen would support the President in his foreign policies there would be no question as to. the open door in China or elsewhere, for that matter.
 This would seem to indicate that the "open door, is for Republicans only; but as the line cannot be drawn we are in- clined to think that what is good for Fall River, will be good for Spartanburg and Augusta also. The Republicans would doubtless like to draw the line against the South, but they cannot do it without hurt ing their own members, some of whom are very powerful, and are known to MT. Han ma when he passes the hat around.

MORE SAVING OF WASTE.

From the Nebraska State Journal.
 A Massachusetts leather man predicts an easing down of the price of sole leather very soon, on account of the invention of a down-east Yankee. Sole leather grows on beasts in very limited quantities, and it is hard to get enough of it. The invention is to use leather scraps of all sorts for the manufacture of good, serviceable sole leather. The scraps are worthless for all practical purposes, and generally rot in the streets or alleys But machine has been devised that tears them into shreds and makes them into pulp, which is run out under great pressure in continuous sheets of good sole leather. A fall in the price of sole leather is predicted as the result of this discovery of q way to Use the scraps.

Task of Congress.

Congress will soon meet, and as both houses will be Republican, with Repub- Ican President, the people will naturally expect that some of the campaign promises will be at least attempted. The Republi- can spellbinders everywhere promised a re- duction of war taxation. If the tariff were reformed on revenue lines robbery of the people in the form of indirect taxation would be abolished; but the people decided that they preferred robbery of this sort, and so reduction will take place in direct taxaton-in stamp taxes and the like.

Expelled from France.

Paris, November 13.-Caesar Della Croce who was naturalized in New York in 1S93 has been ordered to leave Frnace within twenty-four hours or be imprisoned.
 Croce was seen by representative of the Associated Press and he said the rea- sons for his expulsion were political. BSng an Italian by birth, Croce speaks English brokenly. He has recently been dependent on charity, seeking aid from the United States embassy, consulate and charitable institutions, though he contends that he Is about to come into a fortune. Last year he was arrested at Toulouse, imprisoned and released upon the intervention of the United States embassy here.

 But the apportioning of representation will come up, and that, too. early In the session. for Director Merriam says the needful figures will be ready by December l. The general opinion is that the round ratio of 100000 will be adopted, under which Kansas, Maine. Nebraska and Virginia will each lose a member. while Colorado Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Massaehu- sets, Missouri, New Jersey.

Gubernatorial Succession.

In the next fifty days there may be theoretically three coordinate branches of the State government, but practically speaking the boss will be the law-mak ing department. If it can agree, it can make itself the master of the situation. And it should be able to agree-to be an unit for that natter upon this proposition, namely, the will of the people should be obeyed The people have said that William J. Sam ford shall be Governor of the State, and in case of his disability the people, act tives have also said that William D. Jelks shall be Governor of this State to see that the mandates of the people are carried out It is the very first and highest duty at hand.
 The bill introduced by MT. Bulger, in relation to the oath administered to q Governor, would bring the code within the terms of the constitution, and the bill introduced by MT. Tunstall would clear up a doubtful point as to ad in terim service in the chief executive office. Both bills are in line with the great principle that underlies Repub- l1can government-the will of the peo pie is supreme. It is the duty of the Legislature to secure the carrying out of that will by seating the Governor elect, or in case of his disability, the President of the Senate. Any other re- suit would be an insult and a wrong to the people of the State.
 It is not necessary to go back to the Wars of the Roses to find examples of unholy thirst for power-to find plots and counterplots, schemes and strate- gems even in the shadow of Ceatn. We have them all here in Alabama. The game goes on under our eyes very much as Shakespeare describes it in his i'm mortal tragedies, and when it is fin ished all we will lack will be a great artist who can put in enduring lines the crafty Gloster, the spoil-hunting Fal- staff, and the coYetous cardinal who fell into great soliloquy, of these latter days.

M'klNLEY RIDE ALONE MARCH 4

From the New York Tribune.
 "The American people have declared for prosperity and four years more of full din- ner-pail and for an American policy" said MT. Manley. "They have notified Major Mckinley that he will ride alone to de- liver his inaugural address on March 1 next The custom is for the outgoing President to ride to the Capitol with his successor, and this time, when the out going President accompanies his success sor to take the oath of office William Me kinley of Ohio will accompany himself This has not happened since Grants see- ond term, President Hayes was accompan- jed by General Grant, General Hayes rode with General Garfield and General Arthur with Grover Cleveland, who in turn ac- companied- General Harrison and was ac- eompanied by him.

THE GEAR ILL.
Develops Symptoms of Typhoid Fever Bulletin Issued.

St. Petersburg, November 4.-The attack of influenza from which the Czar has been suffering has now developed symptoms of typhoid fever.
 The indisposition of his majesty was first announced November ?, and prevented the usual symptoms until yesterday when his illness assumed a character of typhoid. Baron De Frederichs, the master of the imperial household, has issued the follow- ing bulletin:
 His majesty passed quiet night. His general condition is satisfactory. Temper ature 1O5, pulse 92. His head is clear and the strength of the patient is quite satis- factory. The diagnosis shows typhoid. which for the present is pursuing thor oughly satisfactory course.

Governor Johnston's Message.

Governor Johnstons final message is in good taste. with scarcely a tinge of bitter ness in it. Very properly, to, it deals with the dead past instead of the bright future, leaving the latter to the, Governor-eleet who comes directly from the people. All in all 1t is not an overdrawn picture of the States condition. The State is prosperous, and the outgoing Governor has q right to claim that he has finger in 1t.
 He raises however, the tme-worn ques- tion of d deficiency and he endeavors to show that there was huge deficiency when he went into office and none when he went out, when the truth Is the State was reas- onably forehanded in 1896, and is in that condition now. His deficiency figures are like all deficiency figures in this State-very capable of twistifcation. The outgoing Gov ernor refrains from calling attention to the fact that taxation was carried to the con- sttutional limit in his term, which natur- ally had something to do with these re- suits" He may have overlooked the fact.
 In one other respect the final message claims credit than the situation jus tifies. He skillfully endeavors to appropriate to himself the honor of bettering the pub lie schools of the State. He mildly re- marks that qualified county superlntend- ents would strengthen the system. So they would; but if Governor Johnston eyer raised his hand or voice towards securing such superintenaents the act has escaped us Nor can 1t be truthfuly said that "the door of a free schoor' is open five months in the year to every child in the State, as Governor Johnston desires us to believe it to be. The vicious pay school is still with us, and there are said to be rings of pay eht in more than one county. The plum derers are at work; and We regret to be called on to say that Governor Johnston has not shown any great desire to attack either the pay system or the rings that it invites and shelters There are very many districts in this State where the door of a free school is not open to a self-respecting child. The entire pay-school system is as vigorous in this State as 1t ever has been and wherever it exists it repeaIs or hum bes the children of the poor Superintend- ant of Education Abercrombie is working hard to drive it out, but bad politics is working as hard to return it.

AFFAIRS IN JAPAN.
Sensational Attack on the Empress
 New Minister.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
 Yokohama, November ?, via Victoria, B, C., November 14.-The chief sensation of the week has been the attack by lunatic up- on the carriage of the Empress as the latter was being escorted through the streets of Tokio. The incident is notable onl Y from the extraordinary character of the weapons used, and also the additional evidence it furnished, If anything were needed to tes- tify to the great reverence and affection in which Her Majesty is held by the people
 Mere rumor of the attack before the actual facts were known caused a tremen- dous amount of excitement in this city out of all proportion to the importance of the affair itself
 The crazy assailant, having brooded oyer his lowly birth until he imagined himself at the imperial household department to have his claim recognized. He determined to attract public attention in some way. which he succeeded In doing in the most effective manner by throwing his purse and his wooden clogs at the passing procession.
 The new ministry is looked upon with the greatest interest and favor by foreigners as it is without doubt far more faVorably disposed toward t-2 latter than any which has been in power TOT some years past
 New regulations in the home department in regard to the management of tn social evil and famous "Yoshiwaras," is having such extraordinary and unexpected effect that it is confidently predicted that this pe- culiar feature of Japanese life will soon disappear from the larger cities.

the clergy are supposed to be the leaders in morals"
 The questions thus raised are truly per- ished crime.
 While the Daughters of the Confederacy are talking about the absurdly called White House of the Confederacy' at Montgomery, this paragraph from the New York Tribune is of real interest:
 '"The old home of Stonewall Jackson, in Lexington, Va, is now a tentment house, and the dwelling which once sheltered one family comfortably now swarms with a large number of families, crowded in un- comfortably. The famous Sunday school in which General Jackson taught negroes Is still four:s6ing.'
 At 5:30 o'clock yesterday evening the out lines of a mans figure under an arc light in Fifth avenue could not be seen 60 yards, and what was true of the gloom in Fifth avenue was true of every other street in the level-lying districts of Birmingham. The dust was worse than ever before, and in it the great arc lights glimmered like guttering tallow candles in fog The dust darkened all visible space, filled the houses, and hung like gray-black pail over the city. Thousands of people breathed with difficulty and breathed consumption. pneu- monia, typhoid fever, measles smallpox, and every sort of disease that has germs which lodge in dust
 
 The law partnership which has for sev- eral years existed between former Con- gressman William H. Denson and Col. James l.. Tanner has been dissolved by mutual consent, and hereafter each of these successful lawyers will practice law on his own account.
 Birmingham continues to be thronged with visitors, there being a great many of them who came from the North and West and who are prospective citizens of this city and district. The hotels contine to be crowded day and night, and all eating places are doing great business. The gen. eral trade of Birmingham is remarkably prosperous.

MUCH ILLITERACY.
Porto Rico in Need of Better School
 Facilities.

Washington, November 14.-4M. G. Brum- baugh, commissioner of education for Por- to Rico, says the school system now in op- eration there includes 500 teachers and 3S. 900 pupils This is only beginning, as there are 30O00O children of school age without school facilities, most of whom would enroll if they could. Commissioner Brumbaugh says the hope of the island is in the public schools and that the great illiteracy in Porto Rico must be reduced The schools are not to be compared with the American systems but their transfor- nation must be gradual. The report says that the present school law should be wholly abrogated at the coming session of the insular Legislature for many reasons and a new law passed.
 Thousands of children in this island, says the report, are half clothed, half fed and half housed. At least eighty per cent of all the people are illiterate and the crying need Is schools to reduce the appalling il- literacy. There are no public school build ings and public colleges or universi- ties.

St. Louis Striks Reviewed.

Washington, November H.-Tho..cSs z. RiXey, labor commissioner of Missouri, ap- peared before the industrial commission to- day. He gave detailed account of the St Louis street car strike of last summer, and said that the reason why he had not in- voked the State arbitration law for the set tlement of the strike was that the law was inadequate. He advocated compulsory ar- bitration.
