COv. SANFORD SENDS MESSAGE
 INDORSINC THE TEXT BOOK BILL
Prospect of the Measure Passing Much Brighter As the Gov ernorS Recommendation Has Strong Influence Cver
 Legislators Speeches on Confederate Museum.

Age-Herald Bureau. Clancey's Hotel. Montgomery, February 11-(Special.)- Governor Sanford sent a ringing mes- sage to the General Assembly today in behalf of a system of uniform text books for the State, and the prospects for some favorable legislation along this line is decidedly brighter.
 The Governors message was pointed and unmistakable. He seemed fully aware of the powerful lobby which has been here in opposition to the measure, and he pleaded with the Legislators to not permit these outside influences to permit the defeat of a measure which he had pledged to secure to the people of the State and which had proven so popu- lar with the people during the guberna- torial campaign.
 The message is having a very strong influence upon the Legislators, though the lobby for the book trust Is using every effort to offset It's effect. Be this as it may, the Governor seems to have discharged his pledge to the people, and

her. As soon as the shot rang out the street about the polling place became the scene of a fusillade. Every man drew one or two revolvers.
 Judge John J. Ryan ran out from his desk to the street and shot squarely at a negro advancing upon the booth gun In hand. There was no time to make ar rests, but the police under Sergeant Quinlvan rushed upon the bold rioters attempting to disarm them.
 It was while he was arresting George Munroe that Sergeant Quinlivan was shot. Detective McGrath ran to his as- sistance, disarmed the negro, and in the midst of a scattering fire extracted his wounded charge from a precarious posi- tion.
 After order had been restored it was found that the ballot box had been stolen The judge and clerks had been at the windows or front doors holding the fort. Some one had slipped in the back way and taken the box from behind them. The upshot was that no votes were polled today in the Second district of the Fourth ward.

SUBSIDY BILL
 HAS NJ CHANCE Republican Managers About
 to Give Up END OF WEEK WILL TELL Spooner, Allison, Nelson and Deliver Are Not Favorable 10 BiIis Passage and Failure
 Is Certain.
END OF WEEK WILL TELL

Age-Herald Bureau, 509 Fourteenth St., N. w, Washington, February 11.-(Spe- cial )-The prospects for the shipping subsidy bill have never been more un- favorable. The Republican managers are about ready to give up the fight, and will do so by the end of the week if the Dem- ocrats keep up the fight that long, and they will do so. The bill will have the earnest support of Senators Frye. Hanna, Aldrich and a majority of the Repub- licans, but such men as Spooner, Ali son, Nelson and Dollivar are not favor able to the bill's passage, regarding it as unwise politically. Without their earne st support it must fail Some of these would probably vote for 1t if vote could be secured. but they are decidedly anxious that no vote shall be had, and are really glad that the Democrats and Populists are filibustering.

St. Louis, Mo-, February 11.-More than 15O shots were fired, sergeant of police and two negroes were wounded and a ballot box was stolen In a riot about the Second district polling place of the Fourth ward at Twelfth and Linden streets, early this evening. It was only after the riot call had brought Ceptain Kiely with forty policemen and riot guns to the scene that q sc,rblance of order was re- stored The streets were filled with ne groes and some white men. all of whom were armed, many of them intoxicated and looking for trouble.
 Not ballot was cast there during the day. The wounded are:
 Police Sergeant Quinlivan and George Monroe and Fred Jones.
 The trouble had been brewing all the afternoon. When it came time to open up the polls the ticket judges had not yet arrived Later the Tinker men dis agreed with the Wells men as to the ad- visibility of opening the backdoor of the polling place One cleaimed that the other had host of heelers in waiting and if the back door was opened these men would press in to cause confusion and prevent their opponents form voting.
 The Noonan crowd claimed that both the other factions were iockeying to pre- vent any voting whatever because, they said, the ward was overwhelmingly for Noonan The judges being unable to agree, no voting was done. That was the situation up to the time of the riot Ru- nor has 1t that the first man to draw a

New York February 1.-The Post says the steel syndicate has not reached a definite plan for financing the amalgama- tion of the various interests. While not more than s25, 00o00o will probably be re- uujred, a prominent bank officer said to- day that the banks in his opinion would have to look upon the proposition to fur ,nish the funds In the light of the invest ment, rather than simply an underwrit- ing arrangement The banks he thought were not altogether prepared for such a specifications by the bidders.

Finally this drew out a warning from MT.

Aee-Herald Bureau, 509 Fourteenth St., N. w., Washington February n-(Spe- cial. .(-Representative Babcock of Wis consip. member of the ways and means can Congressional Committee, has as- tonisbed and disturbed his Republican collea azues by introducing bill provid- ing for the repeal of certain paragraphs of the schedule of the Dingley tariff law dealing with metals and the manufactur- CTS thereof It eliminates almost every provision imposing tariff on steel on wire. spikes, tacks, needles and nails.
 The articles not stricken out are those not controlled by a trust, and in which labor is supposed to be especially inter ested Representative Babcock says his bihation that has just been effected. The tariff he says was intended to protect infant industries, and not great corpor- ations that need no protection. Such a proposition coming from prominet Re- publica has naturally caused no slittle talk MT Babcock's colleagues say they had no intimation of his purpose, and he is severely criticized by Republicans for making campaign capital for the Demo- crats that will be harrassing to the party.
 The bill has absolutely no chance of passing, but it is significant of a trend in the Republican party, particularly be- cause of it's introduction by a ways and means member and chairman of the Con- gressional Campaign Committee.

yet reached the president of the Senate It appears that 1t was mailed from Ala bama on January 16 and received at the State Department the 18th of January but why the letter containing the re- turns should have been sent to the State Department is not evident, unless the Alabama electors thought 1t should so there, and consequently addressed it to that department. It seems strange, how ever that the State Department did nos turn it over to the president of the Senate The whereabouts of the fetdrns was learned through the Post Office Depart- ment, for 1t came ag registered matter.
 Representative Bankhead of Alabama Is very much worried as to the fate of the rivers and harbors bill. It seems that instead of cutting cutting it down as has been proposed the Senate committee has added some fifteen millions to It., making it aggregate almost eightly mil lions. The chances are even that it will not rass the Senate and that If 1t does the President may veto it.
