DR. MOSELEY DIES IN FAR OFF JAPAN Distinguished AIabamian Passes
  Away After Long Illness HE WAS A CONSUl-GENERAL Was Appointed to Singapore Nearly Two Years Aslo-His Health Fail ed and He Went to Japan
 for Improvement.
HE WAS A CONSUL-GENERAL

An Associated Press dispatch from Wash ington yesterday says:
 ''The State Department has been in formed that Dr. R. A Moseley, consul general of the United States at Singapore, died yesterday at Yokohama, Japan. He was granted leave of absence bYsthe de- partment some weeks ago upon representa- tion that his health demanded change of climate. Dr. Moseley was appointed to his post on January 27, 1899, from Alabama"
 The news of pr. Moseley's death will produce a great shock and cause much sor- row here in Birmingham and throughout Alabama. for everybody had a kind and friendly feeling for the genial doctor" so long familiar in Republican politics of this State.
 The Age-Herald two or three weeks ago quoted a letter from Dr. Moseley which had just been received by United States Commissioner H. A. Wilson of Birming ham, in which Dr. Moseley said he was suffering from Singapore fever,'' and was going to Japan for the benefit of his health; and whilst that information caused regret. 1t produced no special uneasiness amongst pr. Moseley's friends here at his home
 Dr. Moseley was about 56 years old, and was born near Montgomery; but much of his life was spent in Talladega County For thirty years he had been conspicuous as a Republican leader and at various times conducted newspapers, having sold his Birmingham newspaper, the Times, to go to Singapore. From 1889 to 1893 he was collector of internal revenue in Alabama under President Harrison, and discharged his duties faithfully. He was for long time chairman of the State Republican Executive Committee, and finally was a figure in party quarrel over that position
 AS a political speaker he was man of eloquence and force, and was for a long while unequalled by any of his col leagues on the stump. His influence with the negroes of Alabama was very powerful, and to the end they believed steadfastly in him.
 Tens of thousands of people knew him personally and his name was familiar to all Alabamians; and all these people will hear of his death with great regret. Here in Birmingham, which had been his home for ten years or more, he was held In kind est esteem.
 Mrs. Moseley, who was Miss Lowery of Rome, Ga., very gifted woman, survives him. They had no children.
 According to custom relating to men who die abroad in the service of the Depart ment of State, the United States govern ment will offer to bear all expenses connect ed with pr. Moseley's death and final in- terment, and therefore it is presumed that Mrs. Moseley will cause his remains to be sent to Alabama, probably to TalladegA.
 It will be remembered that Dr. Moseley succeeded Dr. E. Spencer Pratt of Ala bama, consul-general at Singapore, who was recalled because of alleged indiscre- tions connected with Aguinado, and who recently gave information to the ant-im- perialst league in national politics.

Wagenhals and Kem- per for four consecutive seasons, during which time they have been seen in series of classic revivals They have earned a large and enviable following among the cultured element of playgoers throughout the country, which, through the progress sive policy of their managers, is augment ed as one season succeeds another In "A Midsummer Nights Dream both artists will have congenial roles, MT James, who Is always happier in comedy, playing the part of Bottom, and Miss Kidder, the stately poetic character of Helena, With the exception of these two roles the act ing interest in the play is dominated by it's spectacular features. A complete score has been composed for the incidental music What with the stage settings the pallets of elves and fairies, the tuneful melodies and the ability of the players It is an entertainment that can hardly fail to fill the theatre to its utmost capacity.

The Belle of Manila.

A hilarious muical farce comedy makes its first appearance in Birmingham at the Auditorium, for two nights, November 19 and 20.
 The play has made hit in every city it has appeared and the company is said tc be one of the best in farce comedy. The principal comedy role is well taken care Of by the comedian Charles Lamont, as- sisted by company of high class special ty artists.
 Among the refreshing specialties with this attraction Is the novelty act of the Musical Electros, pronounced by the press to be the greast novelty act on the Ameri- can stage.
 Their act is of an electrical character, each instrument Is connected, and when the lights are turned out the effect is striking. Sparks fly from the string instruments and a glow of light emanates from the brass instruments. The company is a good one and gets in a vast amount of work in a short space of time, making much more out of the Belle of Manila than its ere ator thought was in it. The cast includes Morris Money, Ivy Rose Hoevert and Hall, Cut and Rose Jessie, Clarence Haslet, Mart Haynes Frank Flower, Ben Le Rush, Mar garet Hillsdale, Elsie Rosalie, Gay Enol, Iallie Pope, the Fry sisters, Lottie Will son and the chorus.

Berlin, November 15. - The news that Prince Yuan and General Tung Flu Hsiang had rebelled was greeted here as a favor able sign. The Tageblatt says that if 1t be true, the rebellion will probably induce the Emperor and Empress Dowager to re- turn to Pekin and place themselves under the protection of the powers.

 "Such wholesale murdering will sow un- quenchable hatred, destroying forever all chance of missionary work in China. The government must take notice of these things and issue peremptory orders to Count von Waldersee to prevent them hereafter, as they are shame to all civili- zation.
 With regard to the China bill the papers point out that the next imperial budget will show the necessity for a loan of .1OO,- 100000 marks, and that in addition the chancellor will be empowered to issue frA aGi1rxy T,nta nll lnD portion of the press expresses dissatisfac- tion with this outlook and the agrarian organs demand that the government raise the required amounts by imposing num- Der of special taxes upon the country's commerce and industry, which, the jour nals declare will alone reap the fruits of the China war.

WORK ON MORRIS
Delayed for Lack of Workmen Con
 stantly.

The work of renovating and improving the Morris Hotel is seriously delayed by the difficulty in getting mechanics. MT. sculIy, the proprietor, said yesterday that at the present rate of progress he feared it would take them six months to finish the work. His plan had been to take six rooms at a time and renovate them, but there had been such a rush of travel that he could not get an opportunity to work on the rooms. Daily he had to turn away thirty to forty guests, and with 112 rooms in the hotel he accommodated often 165 people.
 There is so much building going on in the city that it Is difficult to get workmen.

FINALLY JUSTICE rRIUMPHs.

William Henderson has been tried be-
fore jury of twelve men. for murder,
and found guilty. Murder was his great
est but not his only crime. For years
with one of the most desperate gangs
Of cut throat robbers that ever threat
ened the life and property of any COM
munity. So cunningly were the plans
and schemes of this band of thieves and
murderers devised and executed, that
detection was we'll nigh impossible.
So successful were Henderson and his
associates in crime, that they believed
themselves secure from punishment of
the law.
Public officials were baffled in their
efforts to bring these perpetrators of
crime to justice, and for a while it
seemed hopeless task. When Prose
eutor Atlee Pomerence declared two
years ago that he would not let up until
he had found the murderer or murderers
of John Hartong he was laughed to
scorn by Henderson associates in crime.
Unreasonable and reprehensible as it
may. seem, it is nevertheless true, that
the influence of Henderson's organiza-
tion played considerable part in bring
ing about the defeat of Mr.. Pomerene.
But the defeat of the able prosecutor
did not defeat his purpose. He Joined at
once with Mr. Day in ferreting out the
criminals.
Investigation that required time and
patience pointed to Henderson as one
of the perpetrators of the Hartong
crime. The perseverance of Mr.. Pome-
Dene pressed the desperation of FENDER
son and his associates and the men back
of them. But Justice, though her doom
she do prolong at last she will her own
cause right" and William Henderson
will now suffer the just penalty of his
crimes. So much for Henderson. But
Henderson is only one of the gang. His
trial has disclosed even a more desper-
dlS STATE u dlLdllS . IMAM was S'SA
dreamed of. There are still others
equally guilty in that and other crimes
They must be brought to justice. They
will be. Public opinion and the safety
of the community demand it. The Off
GERS of the court must not let up now.
Enough is known to warrant the calling
of a special grand jury. Let this be
done at once. Let no guilty man escape.
LET justice be done though the heavens
fall"
