VAST BUSINESS OF
 MR. LOUIS SAKS
Enormous Store and It's Riches. New Department for Ladies'
 and Misses WearabIes

The traveller might journey the United States over and visit all the great cities, yet he would fail to find anywhere more spacious, superbly handsome, mag nificiently stocked or artistically arranged store than Louis Saks splendid establish ment at First avenue and Nineteenth street
 Recently Louis Saks' has completed great addition to his building, which Is one of the finest business structures in the south, increasing its capacity by fully one-third, and giving 1t three different public entrances, one directly fronting First avenue, one in the great corner fac ing the intersection of First avenue and Nineteenth street, and one In the corner at Nineteenth street and First alley, thus providing for the entire convenience of the thousands of customers who are glad to give their patronage to this immense and model establishment.
 This season Mir. Saks has added to his gigantic business enterprise great new department of ladies' and misses tailor made garments, and several of the splen- did show windows in Nineteenth street contain some of the handsomest costumes for ladies ever exhibited in Birmingham These are arranged in wonderfully at- tractive manner. The figures which bear the dresses face the street and show the fronts, and behind each figure Is a large plate glass mirror showing the back. The whole arrangement is remarkably artis- tic and effective, displaying, as 1t does, the exquisite work of master artists in dressmaking, draping, and decorative skill.
 It would be idle to attempt to describe those costumes in detail. so rich and so effective they are, and small wonder that multitudes of people stop there to ad- mire the perfect exhibition of the latest fashion in woman's -adornment.
 This new department of Louis Saks', which was formally opened on Monday, and which marks to an extraordinary de- gree the wealth and prosperity of Birm- ingham, is already a great success. The whole business career of Louis Saks Is great success, as everybody knows. He offers the finest and most exclusive cos tunes, skirts, waists, wraps, petticoats, saques, coats and women's wearing ap- parel generally.
 And then there Is Louis Saks' enormous stock of mems and boys clothing and wearing apparel of every description in the most abundant variety and at prices that are startlingly generous to the pub- lie, showing that Louis Saks Is determin- ed not only to hold the vast business which he has built up as one of the most wide-a-wake and enterprising merchants in the South, but that he is resolved to vastly increase his business. He is displaying an enormous stock of every thing imaginable for mems and boys wear.
 This great store of Louis SaKs would be monument to the greatness of any city in the land. It speaks volumes for the enterprise of its powerful proprietor and his great spirit of business enter prise.

TIRED WAITING
 FOR TAX REBATES
Over 2000 AIabamianS Have Claims for Rebate of
 Tobacco Tax

Claimants in Alabama for rebates on tobacco taxes under the law which went into effect on July 1 are getting tired waiting for their money and are worry ing Internal Revenue Collector Bingham and his office force.
 Congress passed an act effective July 1, 1901, providing for a reduction of 20 per cent in the tobacco tax and also for a re bate equal to this amount on unbroken packages where the tax had been paid prior to that date.
 Over 23OO persons in Alabama have ap- pealed for rebates under this law. but up to the present time they have failed to receive anything from the government. They apparently have grown tired wait ing and in consequence thereof the malls bring scores of letters daily from claim ants who urge prompt settlement.
 The revenue collector forwards all these claims to the department at Washington, where they will await the action of Con gress. Before they can be paid authori- ty must be obtained from Congress.

CRANE TO AGAIN
 LEAD THE (. O.P.
MASSACHUSETTS, REPUBLICANS RENoMlNATE HIM FOR GOV- ERNoR-PLATFoR CONDEMNS ATTEMPT TO DIsFRANcHIsE.

Boston, October 1.-The Massachusetts Republican state convention held here today nominated full state ticket and also presented a platform of principles.
 Governor William Murray Crane was renominated by rising vote.
 Samuel J. Elder of Boston was made permanent chairman of the convention.
 In his address as in one delivered later, by Senator Hoar, there was reference to President Mckinley. Concluding this division of his speech, MT. Elder said:
 "One thing more, the right of free speech must not be denied; full and fair discussion of public men and political is- sues are part of our heritage.
 But caricature, denunciation, foul abuse and contemptuous ridicule of the American President, from whatever source they come. must cease"
 The platform was reported by Congress- man Lowering and unanimously adopted. The platform expresses sorrow for the death of President Mckinley and pledges loyal and unfalt ering support" to his successor. It denounces "all laws that confer special privileges upon the few, and favors such laws as open the widest opportunities to all" It reasserts the principle of protection of American liber- ty, protective tariff, desires ''reciproci-
 
 inconsistent with an adequate measure of protection to American industries" Support Is pledged to all sound measures which give certainty and permanence to the gold standard and to provide paper currency of such fexibility, sufficiency and safety as will meet the changing needs of the season, reduce the charge for the use of credit, increase the employ ment of labor and promote the effective 0f lecturers with their rivals abroad"
 The immediate construction of an isth- milan canal that shall be built, owned and operated and protected by the United States government Is favored as is also the building up of our merchant marine on just and equitable basis toward all American citizens"
 The platform also favors an amendment to the constitution of the United States that shall give Congress the power to regulate the hours of labor.
 Attempts to disfranchise negroes are condemned as un-American and in viola ton of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution, and it Is declared that lynch ing and the unlawful taking of life must be stopped.
 The platform also pronounces in favor of such laws as shall visit an adequate and severe penalty upon any person or persons who shall murder, assault or threaten the life of the President or Vice President.
 It asserts that "the public highways be- long to the people and must not be di- verted to private or corporate use unless the people receive value for the fran chise."
 Consideration is recommended for proper system of initiation and referen- dunn in local affairs
 The platform concludes with commen- dation of Governor Cranes administra- ton.

sruction placed upon his denial his honor and integrity had been reflected upon and, in view of Admiral Sehley's deciination. he asks the department to ex- onerate him or to permit him to take steps to that end
 December 9 Hodgson wrote to Admiral Schley from Newport asking for copies or the three letters that he had written him concerning the colloQuy or falling to grant this request to write a state ment fgiving their substance. He desired especially the one of June II accompany ing the specific denial He earnestly begged this assistance to protect himself from injustice. Admiral Schley's answer came from Monteviedo March '. He re- gretted that all of Hodgsons letters were left at home packed In one of several boxes and in storage so that he was un- able to comply with the request and adding that he would not trust himself to quote them. The admiral says: .I distinctly recollect in one of my letters last year to you I stated that Cook had given the order to port the helm on July g. 1898. and not I. This being the case, it was not possible for any colloquy of the character harped upon In the New York Sun to have taken place between you and l."
 Makes a Second Appeal.
 
 son, in letter dated Newport. April 14 makes another appeal and incidentally disclaims the slightest desire to even at tempt to establish the fact that Admiral Schley gave the order to port the helm of the Brooklyn or that there was any controversy on the bridge. Admiral Schley from Monteyeido. again on No yember 20 declined to quote from memory the contents of the letters holding that Hodgsons memory was at fault, and not his veracity.
 In a letter of January Hodgson trans mits all of the correspondence before that date to the navy department asking that 1t be filed, and saying. "it is possible that Admiral Schley misunderstands the na- ture Of my request though 1t would hardly seem so. or else he Is unwilling to do simple act of justice"
 Secretary Longs reply states that, in View of Hodgson's purpose to renew his request upon Admiral Schley for the let ters when the admiral returns to the united States, the department deemed 1t unnecessary to take any action in the matter. August IS, 1901, Admiral Sehley having returned to the United States, Hodgson wrote him a letter, of which he notified the navy department, again ask ing for the letters. and this last request brought letter from the admiral dated in Washington, in which he says he is willing to allow any friend of Hodgsons to copy the letters. The end of the chap ter was the appearance at Admiral Schleys hotel of Major Hodgson, a broth CT Of Lieut. tenant Hodgson, who copied the letters and turned them over to his brother, who filed them with the depart ment August 26, 1901

in the logbook that the helm was put to port in order to bring the starboard bat tery to bear?"
 "No, that was not the reason for which the helm was put to port. It was put to port in order to bring the Brooklyn around as quickly as possible to head off the Spanish vessels"
 Would not the Brooklyn have been brought around quicker if the helm had been put to starboard, as it was recorded In the logbook originality"
 "I think she would"
 These words, swinging clear of the fire of the Texas are they right?'
 That is right. That is a point that impressed me. Fortunately we got around without having one. of the Texas guns fired over us."
 With Commander Hodgson still on the stand the court adjourned until tomor- row.
 It Is understood that Commander Hodg- son will be examined tomorrow about a series of letters which have passed be- tween himself and Admiral Schley and which were shown to number of per sons in the courtroom today.

KRUGER GROWS WEAKER.
"oid Man" Said To Be Failing Both
 Mentally and Physically.

The Hague, October 4.-Herr Wolma- rens, who has been visiting MT. kruger at Hilversun, found the mental condition of the former President of the Transvaal to be by no means satisfactory MT Kruger is slowly growing weaker, physi- cally and mentally. His slowness in reaching a decision on important ques- tons is found to be serious hindrance to those working in Europe in behalf of the Boer cause. On the slightest question regarding his health MT. Kruger exhibits intense irritation and vehemently denies that anything Is wrong. 1he approach of winter causes anxiety, as MT. Kruger refuses to leave Holland
 According to a remark made by prominent Boer, the former Presidents condition would long since nave been much worse If hatred of Great Britain did not nerve him to continue
