CONDITIONS IN ALABAMA.
Commissioner Poole on the Cause of the
Improvement.

Washington, March 25.-R. r. Poole,
commissioner of agriculture tor Alabama,
testified before the Industrial Commission
today concerning agricultural conditions in
that State. He said the State was pros
porous, and that DUNG the past five or six
years large proportion Of the mortgages
held upon property there had been lifted
and farm lands had advanced in price
until they are now held at ante-bellum
prices. This improvement in conditions
Mr.. Poole attributed to various causes,
the principal of which are:
The great development of the mineia'
wealth of the State; the increase In the
number of manufacturers, the advance In
the price of cotton and the addition of a
large number of cotton mills.
As a result of these improvements more
than so per cent. of the white people and
many colored persons had obtained hold
ingS within the last fifteen years.
Mr.. Poole told of the conditions in the
"Black Belt" Of the State, saying that
there is migratory spirit there and there
are many colored men who had heretofore
been tenants who are now becoming own
ers of their own homesteads. He also re-
ferred to the educational system of the
State and spoke in high terms of the In
dustrial schools for colored youth, saying
they were accomplishing far better results
than the ordinary common schools.

BURNED MORTGAGE IN PULPIT.
Document Turned to Ashes While Choir
Sang Praise.

New York, March Pa mortgage for
SlOO 600 on st. Andrews Methodist
Church, this city, was burned on the plat
form of tue church, in the presence of a
large assemblage, this afternoon. The
burning was accompanied by appropriate
services.
The money with which the mortgage
was raised was gathered together within
the past three months through the efforts
of the pastor, Rev. James Oliver Wilson,
and the Board of Trustees, all of whom
made large personal subscriptions.
The chair of honor on the platform was
occupied by Bishop Cyrus D. Foss, who
was the first speaker, Others followed,
and at the conclusion George Clinton Bat
cheler, the treasurer of the church, ad-
vanced to the platform, and, with a con-
gratulatory remark, handed the pastor the
mortgage, which had been cancelled few
days ago. Receiving it, DR.. Wilson placed
the papers in a wire frame, and, as the
congregation sang, lighted the bundle.
While the papers were burning the singing
continued, and as the flames died away
loud "Amens" could be heard all over the
building.
The church was established IN 1864 as a
Christian Society, with membership OF
twelve persons, and has steadily grown in
wealth and membership, until today it is
one of the largest and most influential in
the city.

The Trouble Over ManChuria and Korea
Has Greatly ASitated China
And Japan.
THE TINE EXPIRES TODAY.
There Is But Little Hope of Ayerting
War By Japan If Russia'S Az
greSSivc Policy is Not Check
ed Immediately.

London, March 25.-The Chinese minis
ter called at the foreign Office today and
urged the British government to bring
pressure to bear in order to prevent Rus
sia from securing the necessary signatures
to the Manchurisn agreement. The for
eIgn office is still in the dark tonight as to
whether the agreement will be signed or
allowed to lapse when the time expires,
March 26. The officials of the japanese
legation are inclined 10 believe that Russia
will succeed in getting the necessary sig
natures
The Chinese appeals for support have
failed to produce any direct remonstrances
from Great Britain or apparently from any
Other power to St. Petersburg, for Russia
persisteDtly adheres to her contention
that the secret agreements concern no one
except herself and China.
MIR. Matsui, frst secretary of the Japan
ese legation, today made d statement OF
the issues involved. He sad
"Russias insistence, China's helpless
ness and the probable victory of Russian
diplomacy will tomorrow bring us to the
brink of dangerous situation In which
none of the powers are SO deeply concern
ell as Japan. Even if the secret treaties
have been modified, as is alleged, the
changes are so trihing as to make the doc
uments thoroughly Objectionable to Japan
"Assuming that China signs the treaties
I suppose Great Britain, Germany anC
the United States will protest to Russia
But that is about as far as they will g
and about as much as they will get. With
japan it is matter Of fighting.
"The question is whether we are t.
fight Russia now or fight her later on. Sh'
has no right in Manchuria, and If she Sc
cures Manchuria she will be on the way Il
secure Korea.

II considering the crisis. Their eyes ar
wide open and they will not be driven t.
precipitate action by the jingoists of ia
pan, who are openly clamoring for imme
diate war. Yet, if they see that war
unavoidable they will not hesitate t.
strike"

The magnificent St. Vincent's Catholic
Hospla', in which are 500 patients, seems
10 have been saved by the hand Of Provl
dence. Just before the cyclone reached
it, the winds veered around and left 1t
practically untouched. Mrs. B. B. Hud'
son, the wife of a prominent merchant,
had Just gone uptown leaving negro
nurse and two children at home. The
house was blown away and the nurse kill
ed, together with a six year.old child. The
baby, which was in crib, was blown
block away but escaped practically unhurt.
The path of the storm presents a scene
of the utmost desolation. Household fur
niture is scattered for blocks and in many
instances bed.clothing can be seen hang
ing from the tree tops. The storm played
some strange freaks, skipping entirely
over houses at some places and then CON-
ing down again and crushing adjoining
buildings like eggshells.
One peculiar freak of the storm is tLat
inst before it broke the sky became black,
like midnight and there was an awful
stiffness. Then rain began to fall in tor
rents. Next came a gust of wind, lasting
perhaps three minutes, and all was over.
This wind seemed to descend straight
from the sky and pursuing zig'zag
course, moved up and down after the
manner of a churn-dasher, wrecking
houses here and missing Others there.

share of such calamities that come from
natural causes.

The growth of the telephone business in

years has been enormous. Twenty years

Telephone ami Telegraph Company had

instruments.
A few days ago the press was publishing
statements that England wss afraid to in
terfere with Russia in her plans IN China,

The Democrats of Richmond, Va, are
very much alarmed at the prospect Of the
Republicans and Labor people Of that city
putting up joint candidates for the consti.
tutional convention. The LABOR organiza.

Democratic primary to be neil in that
city, and the answers returned have not
proven satisfactory.
Among the prominent ressons for the
present prosperous condition Of the South.
ern or Cotton States is that they are now
raising most Of the food products that they
formerly bough; from the Western States.
The South is now raising its own hogs and
growing its own corn, only comparatively &C
small portion of these products that are
now consumed by the South ceing pur.
chased from the North or West. The
more nearly any section or community
becomes selfsustaining the more prosper.
GUS that section or community will become.
One of the most serious financial drains
made upon the people Of TazeSel county
is the constant outpouring Of money for
Western corn, -four and bacon. The time
was when our county not only produced
what it consumed ofthese articles but a
surplus was raised.
