Rich in COaI and Iron and Highly Rated by Min-
 ing Experts FORTUNES MAY BE IN STORE
United States Formerly Owned 3oo,. 900 Acres, But 100000 of Aari- cultural Value Have Been
 Donated to Schools. N

Washington, November 1o.-(Special)-. There are nearly 100000 acres of public land in Alabama. much of it rich in coal and iron, which may be thrown open to the public at no distant day. Recently the Interior Department has received many letters inquiring as to the States public land. These indicate that an in- terest Is now being taken in the subject which may result in a demand sufficient to warrant the departments taking &C., tion under the law of 1883 and exposing the property to public sale after which, under the terms of the act, the remaining land may be exposed to homestead entry.
 Every investigation made by the depart ment's agent has tended to show that portions of the land may contain for tunes in coal and iron In addition, it is reported that experts in mining compa- nies have given the land a high rate, and are looking towards it for future specula- ton.
 There was originally about 3Oo. 600 acres of this land, but by different laws the State has been allowed to select about 100000 acres for university normal schools and other purposes. The parts selected have generally been of an agricultural nature. and of little value.

GETS IN CHURCH.
Father CrowIer, Who Is Excommunl-
 cated, Attends High Mass,

Chicago. November 10.-Father Jere- miah Crowler, the Roman Catholic priest of Oregon, H., whose severe criti- cism of the church authorities of the archdiocese of Chicago was followed by his excommunication, and whose pres ence in Holy Name cathedral in this city was the cause of a dramatic scene there last Sunday when solemn high mass was stopped and the lights put out, appeared at the cathedral again today at the hour of solomon high mass.
 At the central entrance he found a number of ushers who quickly placed two tables across the entrance, barring his way. When he demanded admittance he was directed to a side entrance and there he was admitted but as he started up the aisle his way was blocked by other ushers who declined to permit him to proceed and he was forced to accept a seat in pew fourth from the rear of the church. There he sat undisturbed throughout the service.
 The cathedral was filled today to it's utmost capacity and it was apparent that many of the attendants expected a repetition of the scenes of last Sunday.

UNITED STATES
 MAY INTERVENE
REPORTS THAT IT WILL INSIST ON MEDlATING BETWEEN CO., LoMBiA AND VENEZUELA CAUSES EXCITEMENT.

willemstad. Island of Curacao. Novem- Der 10.-Advices received here from Tapa- cho Viejo, dated November 5, say that the report from President Castro to his broth to the effect that the United States gov ernment insists upon mediating between Venezuela and Colombia" caused the greatest excitement among the troops on the frontier. General Uribe-Uribe and Gen. Modesto Castro immediately set out for San Cristobal to obtain details.
 It seems that General Uribe refused tc believe the report declaring that he had no fears as to the future of the liberal cause because President Castro had given him cast iron pledge not to forsake him.
 "Should President Castro prove untrue to the liberal cause" exclaimed General -Uribe, the result would be his ruin. "The war will enter Colombo be- fore Christmas"
 There is considerable feeling against the Castro family among the Colombian liberals and along the frontier in conse- quence of a widespread rumor that Celes- tino Castro. who is commander-in-c at San C1istobsi has been privately sell ing cattle to the enemy, the cattle being whisked across the frontier by means of alleged raids of Colombian conservatives. During one of these raids a dozen sol- diers were killed on both sides. It is said the cattle changed hands at a pre- arranged price of ssO per head. The blood thus spilled is charged directly to Celes- tino Castro by the indignant people of Tachira.
 From San Cristobal General Uribe-Uribe proceeded for Maraicabo.

 Sheriff Cooks Story.
 Sheriff Cook arrived from Pauline at 10 o'clock tonight. He was somewhat dls- figured and his clothes were ragged, put he had lost none of his nerve by his usage at the hands of the convicts. In telling the story of his experience he made no attempt to conceal the humorous aspect of the affair. Sheriff Cook said that when he and Deputy Williams reacned the scene in che afternoon one or the farmer boys. a lad of eighteen. who had been chasing the convicts, was popping away at the men with target rifle. Cook snapped his revolver five times but only two cartridges exploded One bullet hit the larger of the convicts in the arm while Williams caught the other with bullet in the leg. Then long chase en- sued.
 Cook finally rounded up at the Woos- ter farmhouse, where the big convict met him at the door and commanded him to come in.
 Come in here or I'll kill you" he said.
 "Well," the sheriff related. T went in"
 1I,1 ,,tF l. an was screaming, Wooster was lying on a couch unconscious. His skull was cracked and his right hand broken The other convict crouched behind the door, his gun drawn upon me. Having searched me, the big fellow asked if I was the sheriff.
 "Tm looking for the sheriff. he said, I want to kill him
 "IJnder the circumstances" said Cook, "I told him that l was only farmer. Then he told me he would take me along as a shield from the men outside. Stahl and his men had arrived by that time and the big fellow told me to call him in the house. He said he wanted more guns and another shield. But Stahl remained where he was.
 Finally I was commanded to take Mrs. Woosters arm The convicts got behind us and in that order we marched to the field. Mrs. Wooster was half fainting She tried to scream. but 1 put my hand over her mouth. They reached the hedge and the big man snapped his gun ineffectively at me and both ran on in the darkness. Deputy Williams was not captured, as at first reported. When he saw me taken he stood of from the house and the convicts did not molest him. The big man was about 30 years of age and his pal probably about 2o The little man left his shoes which will give the bloodhounds the scent"

Sultan Signs Trade and OH- cal Relations Are Once
 More Resumed
FRANCE IS FULLY SATISFIED
The Temps Describes the Result as a "BrlIliant Victory for French Diplomacy"-Sultan Vic
 tlmizes All Nations.

Paris, November 10.-The French for tan has signed an trade for the execution of his engagements with the French gov ernment and that the Franco Turkish dis pute is now at an end.
 Tewfik Pasha, Ottomon minister for for eign affairs, wrote letter to M. Bapse, councillor of the French embassy in Con- of the trade, accepting all the French demands together with an additional clause by which the Sultan pledges him. velf to consider as authorized in full right The foundations, extensions, construc- lions and repairs of the schools and reli- Eious and hospital establishments, which France may desire to carry out if the porte is advised of her intentions and makes no objection within five months.
 Resumes Diplomatic Relations.
 France has thus far received full satis- faction and M. Delcasse, on the receipt pf M. Bapts dispatch this morning, has telegraphed to inform Tewfik Pasha that diplomatic relations had been resumed, and that M. Bapst should consider him self as regularly charged with the affairs Jf tie ernpassy..
 Instructions were also sent to Admiral Cailard at Mitylene to re-embark the marines and to return to Greek waters, which is understood to mean the vicin- age of tsie Island of Syra. Admiral Gail lard will remain in the Levant some time longer.
 M. Constans, the French ambassador, will return to Constantinople very shortly.
 The additional clause was conceded at the request of France, in order to pre- vent future difficulties. such as the Turkish provincial authorities have often raised either on their own initiative or In consequence of instigation by the porte, The Temps which describes the result as "a brilliant victory for French di- plomacy," says:
 Restrained It's Action.
 The great merit of the government was fin being able to restrict its action. Very serious difficulties must have arisen had France departed from her reserve. The favorable dlSpOSltlOn SHoWH IO OuT rep resentatives abroad has been due to the fact that the civilized world has had op- portunty during the last seven years, to observe the progress of the anti-Euro- pean movement in the Sultan's councils. Frenchmen, Americans. Australians, Italians and Britons have all been vic- timized by the Sultan and his council iors After the Armenian massacres and the successful war with Greece they thought everything was permitted to them.
 "We hope the Sultan will now under stand his duties toward the civilized pow CTS and toward his own subjects, unto whom he has taken solemn engagements, which he has always disregarded. Oth- eryise Europe which. thanks to the en- ergetic action of France, is now able to reassume at Constantinople the author itv she lost several years ago, will ap- nlaud the initiative which the signatory powers of the Berlin treaty are reported to be about to take to extort from the Sultan the execution of clauses too long fallen into disuse."

 TWO HOBOS-Two hobos were brought before the city recorder yes tsrday One of them was 6 young fe flow and there was nothing against him except that there was nothing to be said for him. He was given the us- ual t.r-day sentence. The other man gave the name Of Charles Tripp, and while vaErancy was the only charge against him, Ee was probably guilty of petit larceny. Lack of positive evi- d,nce made 1t necessary to try him on
 the lesser charge, which was doHc and he was given f0rty-d9y sentence. About o'clock Friday morning some one was caught in the act of stealing beefstcak frona the ice box of the res taurart back of the Capitol saloon. | Tn Chinaman took after him and the man fled. As he passed up the alley to First street hastily he passed Officers
 Hale and Dohoney They did not know at the time that the man was | wanted. but later in the night they caught hiG at Thalhelmer's saloon.
 They were reinforced by Jerry Sulli- van and tha three officers had some l thing of d contract to jail him without
 doing him serious bodily injury. He ] told the recorder he was originally a
 fisherman from Monterey, Cal, and i later brakeman. He went to Bisbec | from Los Angeles, but could not get
 rich there. so he came to Phoenix. After
 jailing Tripp the officers found a coupe l of nice boefsteaks hanging on the fence
 in the alley back of tn Capitol, where
 he had evidently left them.
