Alabamian Resists Arrest on Peace
Warrant and Is Shot,
DoTHAN. Ala, Sept. "A tragic hom.
icide occurred yesterday near Headland,
in this county, IN which Mr.. Morse,
who lived near Cottonwood, was killed.
Morse was here during the morning,
and, to all appearances, was drinking
pretty freely, but when leaving town
took the Headland instead Of the Got.
tonwood road. During the drive his
conduct on the road is said to have been
extremely bad, to the extent of drawing
his pistol and threatening parties.
Mr.. Davis, who lives on the Headland
road, went before Squire Davis and had
a peace warrant taken out for Morse.
The justice deputized Marshal Flowers
and his brother to serve the papers, and
as Morse had already passed through
Headland, they started out to overtake
him, which they soon did. Morse recog-
nized them and opened fire. The shots
were returned, killing Morse. Neither
of the Flowers were hurt.
The killing took place in about mile
of Headland

read the message of the archbishop of
Canterbury, in which he expressed q
hope that some day the Methodista

the conference.

Methodism, the Rev. 7. Il. buckles of

tration of the natives.
Rev. j. H. Hartsell, missionary bishop
of the Methodist Episcopal church in
Africa, said the present time was the
beginning of another empire of Anglo
Saxon civilization. The war was mere.
ly an incident. Dr. Leonard of New
York thanked God for what Great Brit.
ain was doing IN South Africa and ex.
pressed the hope that the war would
soon end with the union jack floating.

At McKeesport Five Hundred
Return to Work.
END OF STRIKE NEARING

General Disappointment Over the
Failure of the Conference Held In
New York to Devise Some Plan of
Settlement.
PITTsBURG, Sept 5.-Further breaks
in the ranks of the striking steelworkers
occurred at McKeesport today. Five
hundred men, or 100 more than yester-
day, went to work at the National Tube
company's plants. Nearly 100 men re-
ported for duty at the Demmler tinplate
works, which was to resume this morn
ing, under protection of deputy sheritfs.
A start was not made during the early
hours of the day, however. but every
thing was in readiness for resum ption.
There was no disorder, although quite
crowd of strikers were lettering in the
vicinity of the plant. At the Boston
mill force of men was at work prepar-
ing the plant for work.
Probable early peace is again being
discussed here as the result of yester-
days conference in New York between
President O. w. Schwab of the United
States Steel corporation and members
of the National Civic Federation. Hope
was revived yesterday afternoon that
the meeting might result III something

ment.
Mr.. Schwab's Proposition.
The proposition from Mr.. Schwab,
said to have been submitted to Presi-
dent Shaffer of the Amalgamated asso-
citation, through President GOmpers of
the American Federation of Labor, vir-
tually demands a concession of the
CLARK, Painter, Lindsay and McCutcheon
and Monessen hoop mills. These plants
were non-uniOn when the strike started
and are now running partially or IN
full.
The association would also lose by
the acceptance of the proposition the
Crescent Uinplate plant at Cleveland,
the Star tinplate works in this city, the
Canal Dover mills and the works at
Demmler. They have been union for a
long time. The tube plants at McKees-
port, in this city and at Benwood, w
Va, would also be exempted.
The acceptance of the terms, it is
said, would reduce the strength of the
Amalgamated association nearly 80 per
cent.
Five members of the advisory board
of the Amalgamated association went
into session this morning at Amalga-
mated headquarters, it is said, for the
purpose of discussing the proposition
received from New York regarding a
settlement of the strike. There were
present President Shaffer, Secretary
Williams, Business Manager Davis, AS
sistant Secretary Tighe and Trustee
Pierce.
Trustee Pierce said that the officials
could not agree to the proposition sub.
mitted by the corporation. President
Shaffer said he had nothing to say.
1t was reported about headquarters a
counter proposition when prepared
would be referred to the corporation,
but this could not be confirmed.

THE WORLDS MONEY.

The worlds commercial develop
ment during the closing years of
the nineteenth century is plainly
discernible in the estimate which
Director Roberts has given out of
the worlds cash account as it
stood on the first day of the year
1901.
At this time according to Mr..
Roberts, the money in the world
amounted to $ll,619,l00,000, a
handsome sum indeed. Of this
grand total, 50, $3.50, 100. 900, is in
paper money unsecured by either
gold or silver, $3,8l8,000,000, in
silver, and 1851, 000,0 900 in gold.
To illustrate the commercial
development of which we spoke it
is only necessary to make a COM
parison with the worlds money in
1873 when the aggregate was only
81 ,59O,O30,00O. The difference,
$7,o29,07o,0oo, conveys something
of an appreciable idea of the rapid
ity with which that development
has gone forward during the last
q years.

THE SPIRIT OF

1t is encouraging to note the
economical spirit thus far mani
tested by the Legislators at Bis
marck. They appear DESTROYS Of
limiting the outlay Of public mon
eys to the least possible expendi-
ture. This spirit was most mark
ed in the action of the house in
adopting a concurrent resolution
limiting the session to so days.
Whether this was wise or not may
be a question, but the motive
which prompted such action is
commendable. A desire to limit
public expenditure to the neces-
sites of the occasion is always
praiseworthy.
AS to whether the legitimate
work of the legislature can be per-
formed in a session of SO DAYS
may we'll be doubted, but of this
those on whom the burden of per-
forming it rests should be the best
judges. There should be no
sighting of duties, no legislation
hastily enacted, for such would be
poor economy. but at the same
time the lawmakers of the state
do we'll when they determine to
restrain public expenditure by
limiting their own period of salary
drawing within the narrowest
bounds consistent,with the faithful
performance of their duties.
During the last political cam
paign the Inter- Ocean urged the
necessity of achieving a complete
Republican victory throughout the
state in the interest of the tax
payers and it feels now that in
doing SO it made no mistake. Not
only the Republican Legislators
appear DESTROYS of practing rigid
economy in public expenditures
but the state officials from COVER
nor down are urging it.
