A Newspaper Wedding.

All the newspaper workers in Alabama, together with a multitude who are more or less happily engaged in the struggle for. the good things of life, will feel a lively personal concern in the fortheom- ing marriage of a most fair and lovely daughter of the press, Miss Stanley of Greenville, one of the accomplished daughters of Gen. James Berney Stanley, the veteran founder and successful edi- tor and manager of the Greenville Advo- cate. General Stanley and Mrs. Stanley announce that their daughter Elizabeth will be welded at 630 o'clock D. m. April 10th, to MT. William E. Smith, the mar riage to take place at the family resi- dence in Greenville. Many of the news paper workers have happy recollections of this charming Easter bride. for she accompanied her distinguished father to several meetings and on various excur- sions of the Alabama Press Association, of which General Stanley was one of the founders. He was the first secretary of the association, a position he held for many years, and which he vacated for the presidency of that body, an honor which he likewise enjoyed for years. He remains  actively interested in the association and is a member of one of its most important committees, and he has always been one of the most cordially esteemed and hon. ored men who have constituted that pow erful organization of the Alabama news papers.
 It is very generally conceded that Gen eral Stanley has been the most success full conductor of weekly newspaper in Alabama, and in the practical conduct of his business he has accomplished remark able results. He has made fortune out of his country weekly; and now he is growing old ever 80 slowly and ever so gracefully, surrounded by the happiest of households, assisted and strengthened by one of the loveliest and brightest help meets any newspaper worker could have, and enjoying every luxury anybody could desire.

PHOSPHATE BEDS AND GEESE
rom the Union Springs Herald

From the Union Springs Herald.
 Sometime ago there was a long article written by some one from F'loro. Ala. about the rich and inexhaustible amount of pure, highgrade phosphate that was imbedded in the fertile hills around Chun- nennuggee and near Floro. A vast quan- tity of the richest kind was shipped to Savannah and Columbus, Ga.
 For some cause the work of extracting was discontinued. It Is now being agi- tated again. and to my mind Floro will. at no distant day, rank with any of her sister stations commercially; and compete with any place in the state of Alabama or Georgia, in the phosphate business.
 Well. this is deviating from the new enterprise I expected to mention. I am reliably informed by MT. J. s. vann that some of our energetic. painstaking. and

MINISTER LOOMS RECALL
 FORECASTS DIFFICULTIES

The Russian threat to break off friendly diplomatic relations with China unless that country signs the treaty practically ceding Manchuria to Russia, which the Russian ambassador to the United States says, with smiling irony, is only mo dus vivendi,' is not encouraging es re- gards the solution of the Chinese difficult ty. China's diplomatic relations with the nations of the world are really only nom- inal for with foreign troops occupying the Chinese capital and the Emperor, Elm press Dowager and the Chinese govern ment refugees from Pekin a remarkable state of affairs exists which can only by courtesy be called Friendly diplomatic relations" even if Chinese ministers con- tinue to reside in the capitals of the sev- era powers.
 Russia Is determined to buldoze China into making a great territorial concession that she may gain great advantage over the other powers, who do not seem to desire to act unitedly to prevent the de- struction of China's territorial integrity. Protests have been made, but none of them Is so framed as to call halt. If Russia gets Manchurla, as it seems like ly she will through China's signing the Manchurian treaty, all the other land grabbing powers will feel themselves ab- solved from the pledge to prevent the alienation of Chinese territory and a game of grab-all Is very certain to follow.

AqulnaIdo an American Citizen.

Aguinaldo has taken the regular and duly authorized oath of the imperial home government. It is a curious cath. as careful reading of it will show

Bankhead's Great Public Work.

Congressman Bankhead who was in town yesterday and was consulted by al- most every public man in attendance on the State Democratic Committee, leaves this morning for Washington. going by way Montgomery, where he has private business that may engage his attention for an hour.
 Congressman Bankhead goes to Wash ington to perfect final arrangements for the summer tour of inspection of the river and harbor subcommittee of the House of Representatives. As has been already stated, this subcommittee of the com mittee of the House on rivers and harbors will make an inspecting tour of the Amer ican Gulf coast from Mobile to the Rio Grande river, and, crossing the conti- nent, will inspect all the harbors on the Pacific coast of the United States from Mexico to British America. Congress- man Bankhead was named to in part make the arrangements for the tour, and he now goes to Washington to have a final consultation with his colleagues. He believes the party will leave Washing ton about June B. coming South over the Southern Railway.
 Congressman Bankhead considers 1t of great importance that the members of this exceedingly important subcommittee should visit Birmingham and the dis trict and see for themselves something of the enormous traffic here which would be largely served by the completion of the Warrior river and Mobile harbor improve ments
 But it is needful that the Commercial Club. the Board of Trade, or the city gov ernment, one or all of these great rep resentative bodies. should formally in vite the subcommittee through Chairman Burton to inspect the industrial wonders of this city and district.

FILIPINO CIVIL GOVERNMENT.
According to reports sent out from
Washington City, a form Of civil gov
eminent is to be established in the
Philippine Islands by July 1St next,
which is to consist of a governor, his
cabinet and a council, which will be
made up for the most part of Filipin-
Os. This is very gratifying to the
citizens of this country in general,
and it is to be hoped it will meet the
appreciation Of those Filipinos who
have some idea of self-government and
that they will take advantage of the
opportunity and exhibit to the world
that they are capable of becoming not
only citizens Of those islands, but ca
pable of forming a government of
their own which will finally develop
into an independent republic. 1t has
been rather troublesome question in
this country to know just what dispo-
sition to make Of the Philippine ISL
ands, but if a civil government is to
be put under Roadway there, it is
more than likely that. like all other
difficult questions, it will solve itself.
Had Aguinaldo and those following
him looked at this subject through the
proper prism when the Spanish power
was first broken, there is no doubt
but by this time those islands would
now have been in as good condition as
are the Porto Rican islands at pres
ent; but encouraged by such men as
Billy Bryan in this country and a
few other ''aunties," they made a fight
for something they knew they could

That Tacoma newspaper wonder who
fights his morning paper in his even

his own queer way. We believe that
it was P. T. Barnum that said: THE

ed better than any other people in the
world and always paid better money for
it." 1t is very evident that the people
of Tacoma are being hoodwinked, and
they are paying well for it.
