HILL NOT A CANDIDATE.
tlce and Not After the Presi-
DENTAL Nomination.

New York Feb. 4.-The announce
meDt that Senator Hill Is not can
didate for the presidential homina
tion of his party in 1904 is made by
the Albany correspondent of Leslie's
Weekly in the current issue. His
article contained the following;
Il have the highest authority for
the statement that Senator Hill IS not
candidate IN any sense fol the
presidential nomination az ~ flat be
is not responsible for the efien ct
his friends and will III no way en-
courage the continuation OF ueh &c.
ton. Whatever Senator Hills ambi-
ton may lave been III the past. he
treasures no presidential ambition
now. He is engrossed In his law
practice 1t has grown larger and
more lucrative each year, and his alb
sorption IN professional duties gives
him little time and less inclination to
respond to the growing call fof him
to actively assume the party's Lead
ership.
This reluctance on the part of the
senator TO re-enter public life Is not
the result of pique or disappointment.
He simply finds greater comfort and
enjoyment In the practice of his pro-
fession and less allurement in the
field of politics, which has never been
source of profit, and oft has given
him hardly comfortable support.
Like every other man who reaches
middle life, Senator Hill looks for
ward to achieving substantial fnan-
cial Independence by maintaining his
established and well-settled profess
sional practice He is deyoting his
best energies to that end, and there
fore he is not inclined to respond to
such calls as have been made by the
Texas legislature and by prominent
Democratic leaders and organizations
In the south and west.
"Those who have intimate personal
relations with Senator Hill greatly
doubt whether he will ever consent TO
lead his party again In presidential
campaign While he Is ayerse to
making public expression of his feel
ing in the matter, his determination Is
not secret Devoted as he has been
for so many years to his party's well
fare. his withdrawal from politics Is
| regarded as impossible. He will CON
tinue to be an influential factor, but
this will not interfere with a convic-
tion he has recently expressed to
many friends that office holding Is
unsatisfactory and Improbable"

Mr. Carnegie, "of Queen Victoria was
her large, liberal and generous toler-
alton of all sects.
Queen Victoria kept her court
pure The chief jewel in her dover
was purity. No scandal or loose liv-
ing was ever tolerated there
Mr. Carnegie went on to say that
her unvarying kindness to everyone
and especially to the humblest ser
wants was one of her strongest
traits. He said she once had a man
servant by the name of John Brown.
He was one of these remarkable men
who would have made his mark in
any line of work, and stood very
close to the queen. When he died
she had the following inscription put
on a tablet above his grave.
"A tribute of loving, grateful and
everlasting friendship from his
truest, best and most grateful friend,
Victoria"
IF we all treated our servants in
that light" commented Mr.. Carnegie,
II think there would be less to say
in regard to the domestic problem in
this country"

OIL EXISTS IN NORTHERN

The Expert Submits His Views to the Russellville Oil and Gas Company-Well Will
 Be Sunk. a!

Russellville. July 27.--tSpeeial.) )- Mayor John w. Otley. the geologist employed to examine the holdings of the Russellville oil and Gas Company, has submitted his report to the com pany. MT. Otey is considered one of the foremost geologists in the United States. he having located the celebrat- ed Beaumont. Tex. oil fields. His re- port is as follows:
 "Farmville. Va. July Il, 1901.
 North Alabama oil reld. as located in the Russellville and Riverton Val ley section of North Alabama. This field is an extension of the great .Ap- paIachian oil belt from Canada to the Gulf Of Mexico. The developments of this section of Alabama will undoubt- edly prove a very rich field in both Illuminating and lubricating oils. The essential geological features in much of this territory are so pointed that the question of securing oil in paying quantities is only secondary. The structural arrangement is such that the pools are necessarily, broad and when the catastrophes have been suf- ficient, but not too violent, deep pools may be anticipated. With such evil dence at your command, there Is prac- tically an assurance of rich reward in discovery.
 This belt continues the same gen. eral direction of it's northern fields, of which system 1t will be a great factor. Anticlinals all running from N. E. to S. W. nearly. but sometimes moved from their correct line by structural difficulties. The points critically ex- amined by me. were the most pro- nounced I have ever met with, and unhesltatingly pronounce your hold ings in Colbert. Lawrence and Frank lin counties. equal to any field east of the Mississippi basin.
 ''Very truly,
 "Jno. W. otIey."
 Since the receipt of this report the company has decided to go actively to work and begin developing its 40,00C acres of land. A we'll will begin to go down within the next two weeks, but the point at which the first one will be sunk has not yet been decided def initely.

FLYNN IS ARRESTED
PRESIDENT OF ALABkM MA MINE
 WORKERS.
John Downs, Non Union Man, Ac- cuses Flynn of Seeking to Prevent Him from Earn
 ing . Livelihood.

Birmingham. July 27--(Special.)--
 Edward Flynn, President of Alabmaa District No. 20, United Mine Workers of America, was arrested today by a deputy sheriff on "a warrant charging him with preventing John Downs fl oni the pursuance of labor for the purpose of earning a livelihood. Flynn made bond in the sum of s200 for his appear ance before the Criminal Court in Sep tember. It appears that Downe and another miner named Beleher refused to join the miners union. They worked at Coalburg for the Sloss- -Sheffield
 Steel and Iron Company. About 100 miners, members of the union, em- ployed at the same mines, refused to work with the two non-union men. and as a consequence the company closed down the mines with the exception of the convict mines. This threw Downs out of employment. Downs alleges that the action of the United Mine Workers in prescribing him caused the mines to stop, thereby rendering him idle The warrant was served on Flynn as the executive head of the miners
 union. Flynn says he personally in- terfered with no man in an effort to earn an honest living. but that the union miners has q right to quit work if they saw fit to refuse to work with a man who did not belong to the union.

His reference to the he- | roic expioint of Emma Sansom was grand in conception and word-paint- ing, and placed her in the front rank of heroines of the worlds history, and was the crowning beauty of his tribute to Southern womanhood. After his speech a space was cleared in front of the platform and a large number of ladies came forward and shook hands with him.
 After dinner came the song of the | "Homespun Dress" It was sung by Miss Laura, the 14-year-old daughter of Comrade Burr-Ramage. She was costumed in a dress spun and woven at home in 1863 and made up in the | fashion of that day. She was assisted l by Mrs. Kimbell and her class of little girls. The audience went wild over ii | and wanted 1t repeated, which could i not be done.
