The province of a steering committee
is to start out and classify for passage
the bills that are pending in the order of
their Importance. That is the natural
power of a steering committee. Perhaps
tlc house wanted to bestow additional
power, but it is unusual for a steering
Committee to make recommendations as
t. the merits of a bill or its passage or
Indefinite postponement. While in the
present instance, owing to the personnel
OF the committee in the house, the most
honest motives will prevail, still it is a
dangerous precedent. The regular com
nittces ought to consider all bills, report
inr promptly-until the last three days,
when all bills should be recalled and re-
fcrred to the steering committee. As
the house now operates the steering
Committee has taken the place of all
other committees-with sixty to 100
measures before 1.-THE merits of which
they simply haven't time to properly
consider. It's a mistake and a task
probably not appreciated by the com
mlttee Itself.

OUTSIDE MONEY
 LIKES THIS FIELD
Birmingham in the Dawn of Era
 of Great Prosperity
OIL COMPANIES AT WORK
Mir. Morris While Discussing the Oil Fever Says That Petroleum Sure ly Exists In Lawrence
 County-Some Signs.

Birmingham is In the dawn of a great era of commercial prosperity" said w H. Morris, one of the city's pioneer cit izens yeserday "and nothing could give more conclusive evidence of that fact fact than tAe recent combination of the street railway, lighting and power com" panies. It shows that outside capital is anxious to invest in Birmingham and is willing to go in and help build up the city which is destined to be the great commercial center of the South'
 From industrial combinations the con versation drifted into recent formation of companies to prospect for petroleum in the Birmingham district and other parts of Alabama. There is a company at work near Birmingham, and though the exact location of their operations is not known, 1t is said that wells are being bored in Shades Valley not many miles from Leeds. The company at work there is commonly known as the Crampton Company, and it Is reported they have found strong evidences of oil.
 Discussing the oil fever, MT. Morris said: "If oil exists anywhere in Ala bama. and I am sure it does, it will cer tainly be found In Lawrence county. Sev eral years ago while travelling through that section of the State I saw many signs that petroleum existed under the surface of the earth.'
 What signs indicate petroleum?'' was asked.
 q am not a mineralogist," said MT. Morris, Out I can tell you what I saw. In several places on top of the surface of the earth we found some large rocks which had lain there for years and when they were put in the fire a bluish looking blaze would flash up and burn steadily for some time. When these rocks were crushed and the dust thrown in the fire there would be flash as if pow der had been touched off. Then in sev eral places where the surface of the earth is low can be seen a crude form of asphalt exuding from the ground. In one of the little brooks which flowed through the farm where I was stopping we found as much as a bushel of asphalt in the bed of the stream. This when dried burns like tar and emits very strong smell of burning oil. In fact when set anre III u room It sooh hhs Ihe house 80 full of gaseous odors that the stench is almost unbearable."
 A new oil company with Captain Kolb at the head will soon begin prospecting and it is understood that some work will be done in Lawrence county. The com pany will not make its plans public, but from statements made as to counties in North Alabama which are reported as showing evidences of petroleum 1t is be- lieved that Captain Kolb's company will test the fields in Lawrence.

DANISH WEST INDIES.
United States Said to Have Demanded
 Their Fertilization.

London. June 19.-The Copenhagen cor respondent of the Daily Mail cables his paper that the United States have sent another note to Denmark in the matter of the sale of the Danish West Indies to the effect that if Denmark Is not willing to sell the islands the United States must demand that Denmark fortify and garri- son the islands of s. Thomas and St. John, which would command the Mica raguan canal. The situation is regarded seriously here, as Denmark cannot dream of undertaking the erection of fortifica- tions and the maintenance of garrisons which would cost several thousands.

New York, June 19.-Henry D. Clayton of Alabama, one of the Democratic lead- CTS in the House, and member of the Democratic National Committee, Is quot ed in a Washington special to the Trib- une as follows, concerning the general movement in the south for the disfran- chisement of the negro:
 We of the south are not afraid to grapple with this negro question as 1t should be grappled with. Democratic su- premacy has, been maintained In the south in spite of negro suffrage, and that supremacy will be all the more secure when the blacks are wholly disfranchised as in Mississippi, Louisiana and South Carolina. As to the reduction of our rep resentation in Congress and the Electoral College, because of negro disfranchise- ment, I regard that as political buster, pure and simple"

General Sanford's Address.
 Gen. Sanford, the author of the design, then spoke in favor of it's adoption. He said State seal was the only way in which a government could express it's will. That in England it had been the custom to change the seal with each new sovereign. That there was no seal de jure of Alabama He then read Dr. Wy mans description of Alabama's seal which has heretofore been published in the Age Herald. It described the eagle as bird of prey and said of prey, and said the motto Here we rest" was sym bolical of the carpet bagger who had de- signed it. Gen. Sanford said the present seal had been forcsed on the people and they had never adopted 1t. That every people had right to adopt their seals, that the convention Of 1875 did not have time to change the present one, and he hoped that this convcpticn would. The proposed seal represented the heroism of their women and the bravery of their men. He then told the story of Emma Samson of Cherokee county, guiding For rest over Black Creek when he was in pursuit of ths enemy. He paid glowing tribute to her bravery and devotion.
 MT Martin of Calhoun also spoke in favor of the adoption of General San ford's design. The hour of adjournment arrived in the midst of MT. Martins ad- dress, but on motion of MT. Sanford of

 Convention Notes.
 There Is going to be the devil to pay in, the convention about passes" remarked prominent delegate yesterday. "The people in this state have become tired of seeing certain privileged classes riding about on passes while they have to pay cents mile for transportation. They are also tired of seeing the Legislature owned by the railroads, and they are go- ing to insist that the pass nuisance be stopped. It may be news to some that our present constitution has clause In 1t which prohibits any member of the Legis- lature or state official from riding on pass and 1t was made the duty of the Legislature to pass laws to carry that provision of the constitution Into effect. In spite of the fact that every member of the Legislature has taken an oath to uphold and support the constitution, no Legislature in the past twenty-five years has passed such law, and If the future can be judged by the past, 1t Is safe to say they never will. So the people are go- ing to insist that the present constitu- ton deal thoroughly with the matter and put stop to his riding on passes"
