ALABAMA's SUFFRAGE PLAN.

A Montgomery telegram of July
analyses the rather complex-lookine
suffrage law of Alabama and simplifies
its meaning. The law, we are told, is
composed of two Independent plans to-
tally different in their operation and in
their bearing on the whites and blacks.
The first strikes boldly at the negro
the second aims at the illiterate and
the unsettled Of both races. The first
Is temporary and lasts only to Janu-
airy 1. 1908. AS the new constitution
cannot be adopted until late this fall,
the scheme can be operated for just one
year.
The second plan is permanent and be-
gins where the other ends. Only two
things are common in both plans, a
poll tax prepayment of $3.50 and dis
franchisement for crime. Great i'm
portance is attached to both of these
The poll tax must be paid by January ]
prior to the election and is purely vol
untary. The list of crimes includes
such as wife-beating and vagrancy.
The purpose Of the plan, which end
on January 1, 1903 is to make up

The absentee Territorial Circuit Judge
has caused it to be announced in the
Argonaut, Examiner, certain Arizona
papers and the New Orleans Picayune
that he is a United States Circuit
Judge This is small matter, per-
haps, but it throws a strong side-light
on the unveracioussvanity of the man,
who is no more a United States Cir
cult Judge than the Hawaiian Supreme
Court, which frequently upsets his de-
cfsions, is United States Supreme
Court. An appointment by the Pfesi-
dent to a Territorial judgeship, either
Circuit or Supreme, does not make one

the first injection OF serum. To insure
success DR.. Logorio prefers to admins

the evidence OF Sigsbee in which he had
said when he went on board the Brook
lyn the whole question, $40 far as he
could remember, was coal, and nothing

up his mind to so to Key West.
That was the rot the first question
Sigsbee asked me at ALL" replied Schley.
u did not say to Sigsbee we We're going

Sigsbee was talking on the subject OF
coal and since he mentions 1t recall
the fact his statement was ne COM

that she could rot turn her engines

also he could not remain there very

Schley then referred to a conyersa-

Said to Have Talked Over the SehIey


Washington, Nov. Admiral Dewey
was closeted with President Roosevelt
y, the white house for some time Satur-
day and the inference was drawn that
they had Il general talk about the Schley
inquiry. With the case practically fin
ished it is considered only natural that
the presiding officer of the court should
discuss the proceedings with the COM
mander-in-chief of the navy, and 1t may
be added that such discussions can not
be repeated too often TO suit the friends

,nade few remarks concerning the case
which arc supposed TO reflect the views
he cleaned in his talk with President
Roosevelt.
eve are glad the long inquiry is
nearly over" said Admiral Dewey to 4
group of newspaper men who met him
as he left the executive office. 1t has
been an exhaustive task for all con-
cerned. After the arguments the court
will endeavor to render its decision as
soon as possible. for we realize that the
American people are deeply interested in
the matter. The members of the court
have worked hard ard l can not say
too much in praise of Admirals Benham
and Ramsey for their conscientious ef-
forts Benham is a natural lawyer and
Ramsey, too. has shown himself fitted
for the duties imposed upon such a
court.
I'VE members of the court feel that
we are on trial before the people a,most
as much as the applicant is" was the
significant remark made by Admiral
Dewey, referring to the impression that
the court should hew to the line in View
of the allegations that Schley has been
the victim of clique in in the r2vy de-
partment and that this clique might in
fiuence the finding of the court.
When asked what plan had been
adopted in reviewing the mountain of
evidence and reaching a verdict the ad-
miral said:
mo definite plan has been agreed up
on. There has been a great deal of con-
filcting testimony. and suppose the
court must sift it. The work may be di-
vided among the members and the vari-
ous clauses in the preecpt taken UP one
at a time 1t has been suggested that
the court recite the facts as developed
by the inquiry and then give its opinion
as to the different matters investigat-
ed"
Admiral Dewey arrived at the white
house at 10 o'clock He did not have
to wait 20 gain an audience, which in
dicated that he came by appointment.
None believes, however. that the presi-
dent had any suggestion to offer as to

ton regarding the rights OF France,
which are defined in the various capi-
tulations and treaties, and Which in
some cases nave not been respected,
and in others have been encroached
upon by Turkey
Admiral Caiiard is expected to reach
lis destination today. The foreign office
has received no news from him since his
division left the other divisions of the
Mediterranean squadron Ell route for
Turkish waters, four days ago.
1t is pointed out that the absence of
1ews is not surprising, as the instruc-
tons to Admiral Caillard were to steer
due south, and to avoid passing in sight
OF Bonifacio. Corsica, or traversing the
strait of Messina, in order to prevent mis-
movements being signaled. The vessels
of the division carried only normal
supply of coal, but this would be much
more than sufficient to enable them to
steam 1,5G0 miles. the estimated distance
they must cover before reaching theii,
destination.
1t is expected that Admiral Caillard
will be joined en- route by the torpedo
cruiser Condor. which is stationed in
Cretan waters. and may be met by the
torpedo dispatch boat Vautour. which is
stationed at Constantinople. 1t is also
probable that the armored cruiser Ad-
niral Charner. which arrived at Port
Said on Oct. 81 from the far east, is be-
ing held there in order to join Admiral
Caillard If needed. 1t is further reported
that three other warsllips are held in
readiness at Toulon to reinforce him
should their presence be necessary.

Democrats Defending on the "off Year"
Results.

Columbus, O., Nov. 4.-1'he apathy
that has prevailed during the present
campaign in Ohio continues up to the
eve of election. Falling off in registra-
tion in the larger cities indicates the
poll will be light and little interest.
While the republicans are confident of
winning they fear the small vote may
greatly reduce pluralities and probably
make the results in the legislature close
on joint ballot. The democrats are de-
pending on traditional results of an "off
year" in Ohio, their opponents being the
greater sufferers from shortage in the
vote Local affairs enter into the cleo
ton tomorrow more than usual.
