SURRENDER OF DIAZ LIBERAL LEADER HAS GIVEN
 HIMSELF UP. General Alban Has shown Himself to Be Generous as We'll as Brave-All Quiet in
 Isthmus.

Colon, Dec. 5.-The following message was delayed by the Colombian censor:
 General Alban, wearing his uniform and accompanied by a body guard of sol diers, left Panama yesterday morning to receive the surrender of the Liberal gen. eral, Domingo Diaz. The two generals met at Gorgora station, on the railroad and returned to Empire station, where the peace papers were signed. General Diaz, with about eighty followers and accompanied by General Alban, reached Panama at o'clock yesterday evening General Alban conducted the Liberal leader, who still wore the Liberal em- carriage, and drove with him to his family house in Panama.
 All persons here unite in agreeing that Alban is not only a brave general but true gentleman as well.
 That part of the Conservative forces under General Alban which was dispatch ed to Agua Dulce has not yet returned It is surmised that this expedition Is in pursuit of the Liberal general, Victoriano Lorenzo, but there is absolutely no in- formation as to whether these two forces have become engaged.
 It is rumored in Panama that 2D0 Liberals from Tumaco have landed in the Department of Panama to reinforce the command of General Belisario Porras. The Conservative government is in no way disturbed at this rumor.
 Since yesterday all trains have been running across the isthmus without escorts of American marines Both ends of the isthmus are quiet.

R1Bor cRI1ITcIsEs BUDGET.
Says France Must Not Make Further
 Mistakes.

Paris, Dec. 5.-In the Chamber Of Deputies today M. Alexandre Ribot (Re- publican) made a slashing criticism or the budget.
 M. Ribot argued that the present budget was higher by 25S,oOOoOO francs than that of 1898; that all the nations of Europe were reducing expenses. and that France must initiate their example, as she cannot risk committing further faults. The only way to assure the moral and material strength of the nation, argued the speaker. is to prevent the expenditures from exceeding the receipts. M. Ribot criticized the attempts to effect economy by abolishing the sugar bounties and the appropriations for public works He declared that most of the economies proposed were more fictitious than real, that the deficit at the end of the year would be 144,0O0,O00 francs, and that the government owed the country the truth concerning the condition of It's finances.
 M. Ribots speech made great im- pression upon the chamber and he re- ceiyed an ovation when he concluded.

carriere Denies Interview.

Paris, Dec. 6.-Major Carriere (who was prosecutor at the Rennes court mar tial of Captain Dreyfus, and who has lately been placed upon the retired lisD. has written a letter to the morning pa pers in which he characterized as un- authorized an interview with himself published here this week. In this inter view Major Carriere said he could get no appointment from the Minister of Justice, as the Ministry hated him for urging the condemnation of Dreyfus, and that General de Gallifet who was Min ister of War at the time of the Rennes courtmartial had denied that he Car riere). had orders to sum up in favor of Dreyfus's innocence. Major Carriere says he must have been misunderstood as it had never entered his head that Gallifet had ordered him tn conclude in favor of the innocence of Dreyfus, and that he had never said so.

MANY BLACKS
 FEAR DEATH Serious Situation in
 CovingtOn County. A REQUEST FOR TROOPS Sheriff, However, Says They
 Are Not Yet Needed.
Friends of Dorsey and Atkinson Swear to Avenge the Killing of Their Friends-The
 Negroes are Sullen-

Andalusa, Dec. -(Specia)-Lynching by the wholesale may occur here tomor- row. for one hundred men of Covington county have sworn to avenge by death the murder of Marshall Fate Atkinson and J. w. Dorsey of Opp, who were slain Wednesday night by negroes whom they were trying to arres st. If these men keep their oath twenty-five negroes who are in jail here suspected of complicity in the murder may be swinging from trees when the sun goes down.
 The tragedy at Opp, full details of which have just reached here, was one of the fearful affairs that occasionally break out in seemingly peaceful commu- mites, to transform men into savages and to startle commonwealths into the belief that blacks and whites can never live side by side without the perpetual dan ger of bloodsheG and wholesale death. From an insignificant incident of a stolen pistol this affair has grown into a race war, in which four have already been killed. twenty-five quake in the shadow of a fearful death at the fope's end and hundred or more are burning to dye their hands in human blood. Besides this a whole county is torn with terror; wo- men with blanched faces stay close with in the walls of their homes, while stall wart men look to their guns with grim determination stamped upon their coun- tenances; negroes, muttering threats to burn homes and turpentine stills, gather in groups and sullenly refuse to return to their labors.
 The county authorities with dozens of deputies are gathering here to protect the prisoners and at the same time to protect property from the threatened de- struction by negroes. The Governor has been advised of the critical situation anr is ready at a moments notice to order out troops should the needed spark be applied to the magazine of trouble which exists. Telegrams have been flying be- tween here and the Governors office since noon today. If the hundred men who have sworn to slay the negro pris- oners appear, then the war will surely break out in all the fury of race hatred; should the men cool down during the night and decide to let the law prevail, then it is believed further serious trouble can be suppressed by the county authori- ties

Columbus, O., Dec. 5,-The syllabus of the Supreme Courts decision in the case of Henry H. Gravett of Parke county, an osteopathist, who was indicted for alleged violation of the State medical laws. made public today, discloses that the law passed by the Ohio Legislature two years ago regulating the practice of osteopathy Is declared unconstitutional. The law is found to be defective in that it discriminates against osteopathists by requiring them to conform to the same conditions imposed upon regular physi- clans in the matter of diplomas. while it denies them the right to prescribe drugs or perform surgery.

The Sheriff and his posse brought the twenty-one prisoners to Andalusia and landed them in the jail. Then deputies with dogs went back for another chase as they were informed that some of the negroes who were in the crowd at the cabin had not been caught.

These he took to Geneva, as the men of Opp were formed for the purpose or lynching them immediately they were brought .n. They are now in jail at Geneva.

Vaughan Not So Confident.

vaughan NoL DO ConndSuG
 The Federal offlce-ho CTS of Alabama. like those of all States, are much exer- cised with regards to the policy of Presi- dent Roosevelt in the matter of reap pointing. District Attorney Vaughan of Birmingham is not as confident as he was few days ago. His opponent. Judge Thomas R, Roulhac of Sheffield is on the ground and Is hopeful of landing the plum.
 Marshal LaaHder J. Bryan of Montguni- erys whose commission expires in Janu- ary. is here. He is hopeful of reappoint- ment and appearances are that he will land, but definite information as to the intention of the President is lacking SC far.
 , As a rule, present incumbents are not in the most desirable position. The Presi- det has indicated many times since his accession that he lacks confidence in the office-holding machine built up by the Hanna organization. He has been mak- ing a study of Southern Republicanism and candor compels the statement that he does not like it as 1t exists now. Rep resentative men of the South have told him repeatedly that there are in the Southern States Republicans of character and capacity and in sufficient numbers to fill all the offices, but that as rule. they have not been actively identified with Republican politics. He has said he wants to get the best men and Is willing to draw them from private life if he can find them. Naturally. men say that the President is ds sirous of building up ma chine for himself and that the way to do this is to have a new deal. This may be true, but the assertion of the President that he desires to bring the public serv- ice to the highest standard of efficiency regardless of his political future can be accepted as the most plausible view.

CRUMP
 AND HIS BILL He Thinks It Sure of
 Passage. IT IS AIMED AT THE SOUTH Alabama Would Lose Three Congressman by It. Measure May Get Through the House But It is Believed That It
 will Die in the
 Senate

Washington, Dec. 5.-tSpeciaD-Ths movement to reduce Southern representa- ton in Congress Is taking shape. MT. Crumpacker of Indiana has been circu- lating petition. today among the Re- publican members asking for caucus of his party to pass on the question. He claims that all to whom his petition was presented signed eagerly and he has no doubt that affirmative action will be taix- en by the majority before the session ends. He intends to introduce a bill to- morrow providing for the reduction of representation and Alabama is put down for loss of three Representatives.
 The leaders of the South have been ex- pecting such a move for a long time and they are ready to meet the issue. The Alabama delegation. composed of aggres- sive and forceful men. will meet the re- ductionists eff f,ctif ely.
 While under the rules of the House, it would be easy to pass such legislation, 1t Is not so certain that the Crumpacker bill can be engineered through the Sem ate. Senator's Morgan and Pettus will join Senators from all the South in defense of the equality of the South in the Federal Legislature.
