THE PRESENT OUTLOOK.

The trade reviews of the past week
show that the prolonged drouth has
not resulted so disastrouSly rs some
appear to think. 1t is announced in
these reports that bountiful crops of
wheat are assured, and that the dam
age to corn, while considerable in some
sections, does not promise to be suffi-
GENTLY general or serious to at all i'm
pede the progress of the country. Co.
incidently, business generally is fair
and the leading industries are kept
steadily employed. 1t is better to
take a comprehensive view of the Sit
uation and not narrow ones range
down to a particular locality. These
trade reviews are based on presum-
ably accurate reports from all parts of
the country and according to their
summing up we are not in nearly 50
bad a plight as has been hastily taken
for granted. Remember this, cheer
up, and don't go around fussing all the
time and predicting that everybody
and the whole country is headed for
poverty.

It's Announcement Causes Great JuhiIatiOn Among Mef-
 chants and Public
J. s, MAY RETURN S7,OOO,OOO
Spanish Pleased, as They Have the Same Rights as Americans-Or- ders Sent to Admit lm-
 ports Free.

Manila, December 3.-The local news papers here published extras when they received the news of the United States Supreme Courts decision in the -four teen diamond ring cases, that the Phil ippines were American territory and the imposition of duty on articles imported into the United States from the Philip pines is improper.
 The announcement of the decision caused great jubilation among the mer' chants and general public. Representa- lives of the principal business houses say it will revolutionize the entire trade of the Orient and the civilians and mili- tary men are pleased.
 The civil authorities think the law only applies to goods going into the United States and awaiting an official communication on the subject, since if the decision holds here new means for obtaining funds to run the government will be necessary.
 General Luke Wright, the vice Gov ernor thinks that general revision of taxation is imperative.
 Spanish merchants are pleased, since Spanish goods have the same treaty rights as American. The collector of the port, w Morgan Shuster, says it means returning $7,OOO,OOO collected in duties by the commercial officials.
 May Need Legislation.
 Washington, December 3.-The Supreme Court decision relative to the Philippines has brought to the attention of leaders in Congress the need of legislation for the archipelago somewhere on the line of that enacted for Porto Rico and par ticularly dealing with revenue questions and imports from the Philippines Such legislation will originate in the House of Representatives and it appears to be con- ceded that the ways and means commit tee will deal only with questions outside of those involving revenue. ye8

CONTRACTED FOR CONNECTS.
North Birmingham Company Leases
 Eighty Men for Foundry Work.

The statement comes from President Carmichael of the State Convict Commis- sion that eighty convicto have been leased for work at North Birmingham. They will be employed at the plant or the Alabama Manufacturing Company, of which Sam D. Jones is president.
 Persons closely connected with the company made statements recently that the company would not use convicts when questioned regarding the rumors relative to the matter The following spe- cial received from the coiI espondent of the Aga-Herald at Montgomery throws different light upon the subject:
 'aThe Alabama Manufacturing Com pany, Sam D. Jones, president, of North Birmingham, has signed a contract with the State for the lease Of eighty con victs of the second and third classes to De employed for foundry purposes. The contract price is s1O Ter month fer con victs over 16 years of aget under that age $5 per north. These iconvicts should have been taken a month ago. according to the terms of the contract. President Jones says he will be ready for them this week. The convicts are ready to go."
 An effort to see MT. Jones was unsuc cefsful. A telegram to Atlanta. his home, brought the reply that he was out of the city and would be absent for week.
 The people of Norths Birmingham are making objections to the company's plac- ing convicts tlere and may make some legal effcrt to enjoin the company.
