AAabama's In1ur1es Sasa 1o Be Serious.
New York Letter in the Chicago Record

New York Letter in the Chicago Record
 Herald.
 So serious was the accident to the bat tleship Alabama during her recent target practice off the Virginia capes, it was learned today, that the vessel is in prao- tically the same condition that it would be had 1t been through a great battle. Previously 1t has been admitted only that one thirteen-inch gun had been dis abled by the premature explosion of a shell, and that few plates had buckled.
 As a matter of fact both the 13-inch guns of the forward turret have had their rifling so badly damaged that they can not be used. Decks have been torn up where the big guns have been fired over them. Sections of the main battery of six guns have been rendered unsafe for the gun crews by the loosening of bolts that held the gun carriages to the decks, and In at least one case the ship has devel- oped a structural weakness through the recoil of the guns of the man superstruc- ture.
 Though every effort has been made to belittle the damage done to the ship, it is conceded in navy circles that the dis abling of two out of four 13-inch guns the impairment of the mounts of at least four of fourteen 6-inch guns. and

Three Planets in the Sky.

Not far from the southwestern hori- zon can be seen just after sunset three bright stars. They are in order Venus, Jupiter and Saturn, and these three planets will not be seen apparently grouped in the sky again in 300 years, when most of us will be dead. Carl Schurz and Cassius M. Clay may be here, but the rest of us will not be, and this will be the farewell appear ance of the three planets in a group to most of us.
 They are very near the earth, and the brilliance of one enhances that of lle other two. With the aid of an opera glass the moons of Jupiter can be readily discerned.
 A Chicago professor explains that the sum of the apparent distances of ] the planets from each other will be the least on next Monday night, and on the night of November 27 Jupiter and Saturn will be in line, and Venus will have moved far away. All can be seen now for about an hour and a half following sundown a little south of west and close to the horizon. Venus appears the brightest of the three.

THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

From the New Decatur News.
 The new constitution has been ratified by the people, and we rejoice thereat. During the campaign just closed we raised our humble voice in support of the instrument. We believed all along that it was a wise and conservative organic law and that it's adoption would enchance anI promote the best interest and well fare of the people of Alabama. We still believe so and unhesitatingly declare that in the fruiton of time these benefits will be fully realized. As our faith is the embodiment of so is the new constitu- tion fraught with, "the substance of things hoped for. the evidence of things not seen"
 But there is one thing particularly un- der the operation of the new constitution we desire to emphasize, and that 1t is the perpetuity of white supremacy. We declare emphatically, that no white man who desires to vote and registers accord ingly, will be deprived of his ballot. Crime, and crime only, will disfranchise the Caucasian, and every white citizen wno couid vote under the old constitu- tion, can exercise the right of suffrage under the new. s

other countries smaller amounts of manufactured goods. This lessening movement has been going on q full year, and it is eliminating in rather startling aggregates and in gold ex- ports. Foreign manufacturers are re- gaining lost ground.
 The natural effects of our Chinese wall tariff are imperfectly understood, and in the presence of this ignorance, utilizing it to the utmost. the Republi- can leaders and gatherers of campaign funds are crying out, "L.et well enough alone" Don't touch the sacred tariff, ' and the like. And so it goes. By 1904 the folly of the present Dingley tariff policy will be apparent. It drives away foreign trade, compels gold ex- ports and robs home consumers. It must go.

PRESIDENT GOOD sToRY-rELLER

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 The Cabinet has a new rule of pro- cedure. It used to be the law that when that illustrious body assembled at Il o'clock on Tuesday and Friday morning business should be taken up at once. But that is not the practice now. In stead of getting to work at once on the supposedly great questions of state the President takes fifteen to twenty-five minutes to tell his advisers the experi- ences he has had with the gentlemen who have been giving him ''hot air" about offices and schemes they want to recom- mend to Congress. The President Is a good narrator and therefore the first half hour IS unusually interesting. He doesn't tell stories to illustrate a point he Is making, as Lincoln did, but tells everything that has been happening that has impressed itself upon his mind. His sense of humor is good and the humorous side of the pictures that pass before him is not overlooked.

the establishment of the fact that the ships magazine is full of defective shells Is a serious matter and most serious menace to her aggressiveness in case of war.
 Deck beams have buckled under the strain put upon them by the premature explosion of shells in the 6-inch gurs, and extensive repairs of the ship itself will have to be made. To remedy this defect application has been made to the depart ment at Washington for the installation of extra supports for the main gun deck and workmen are now hastening to com plete the repairs.
 Experts from the Washington gun foun- dry have been called upon to remedy the damages, and more than months work and many thousands of dollars will have to be spent to make good the effects of the few shots that were fired in peaceful exercise of the great guns.
 The Alabama is at presen. In dry dock and the machinery for the repair of the 13-inch guns arrived today. The ship will take part in the speed trials planned by the navy department to be held in the week beginning November in Chesapeake Bay. During all this time the work of boring out the old pieces of the injured rihing will be continued.

Southern Coal for Europe.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal in discussing the future coal supply of the Mediterranean says:
 While Canada is near the northern ports of Europe the products of the Alabama mines can easily be conveyed to the Medi- terranean ports. The distance from the Alabama mines to Mobile or Pensacola is not over 200 miles. At Pensacola exten- siye docks have been completed and ship ping facilities from Mobile are also good. There is no reason why Alabama coal should not find as ready sale in Europe as any other American coal Cape Breton. 1t is true. is nearer Europe than any shipping point in the United States, but after coal Is once placed on shipboard few hundred miles sailing amounts to little Southern iron is finding market in Europe. Southern cotton has yearly brought the balance of trade in thir coun- try's favor with corresponding influx of gold southern lumber and slaves are growing in export statistics. and when the demand comes for American coal southern coal will probably be that which will be exported.
 Alabama coal is, it is true, mined nearer the seaboard than any other coal in this country, and if there is coal in Marengo it will be mined much nearer. But still 1t cannot pay rail road tolls and command such markets Af Alabama coal lies on or near the War rior, and the opening of that river to slackwater navigation the year round by the government is the real task before us-the real key to large ex- ports of American coal Alabama coal can be mined at less than dollar a ton, and when it can be barged to the sea at 30 to 40 cents ton theg, and not until then, will Southern bal be found in all the markets of the world. The entire soutk wosLa be benefited by the opening of the Warrior, for it would attract the attention of the world to Southern resources and pos abilities.
 The entire South should support in the coming Congress large appropria- tion for the Warrior. The work is under the continuing contract plan, but an appropriation of one million dollars at least is much needed, and the Commercial-Appeal can render good service in this matter. We be- speak it's assistance.

GIBRALTAR, GREATEST BLUFF"

From The Destiny of Doris" by Julius Chambers.
 The Rock was punctured with cannon, much as is a Westphalian ham with cloves. The end of each gallery was a bower of shrubbery, but behind the oleanders and rhododenrons were muzzles of Whitworth and Armstrong guns. hid- den like scorpions in a colored rug.
 We walked several miles on the sun lighted terraces or amid the shadows of rocky galleries, and finally entered a dark casemate, the only tenant of which was breech-loading cannon, swathed in an oiledcloth wrapper. Here was one O 2. series of secret chambers that over look the Neutral Ground across which an attack by foot soldiers must come.
 
 A military estimate of Gibraltar's value should be made with entire regard for truth rather than sentiment. Encouraged to frankness by a recent reading of Lord Miners England in Egypt" ad- init, as spectacle, that the Rock is sub Timely wonderful, but deny that it is a menace to anybody. Impregnable as any fortress in these days of dynamite shells it may be, but who would want to cap- ture 1t? Spain? An! yes; she has sen- timental longing to repossess Gibraltar, just as shel has to regain her countless lost possessions. Nobody else in Europe would take 1t as a gift.
 Gibraltar Is show place-where Is en- acted a constant kriegspiel-where the band plays on the Alameda every after noon and where antiquated guns are fired at dawn and dusk to mark the coming and parting day. The brandy and soda is good. and the distribution of the King coin for breakwaters. dry-docks and bull pups is enormous.

New York November H.-A Washing ton dispatch to the Herald says:
 While the members of the schley court of inquiry will probably be employed for a month upon their laborious task of sitting and weighing the evidence placed before them during the forty days of tn 1T public sessions, much speculation is rife as to the outcome of this investi- gation, destined to occupy so conspicuous a place In the annals of the navy.
 Many bets are being made in Washing ton on the result, and several officers of the navy stand to lose large sums if the court should find Admiral Schley guiltless. A careful and impartial review of the evidence seems to afford little ground, however. for the hope that Ad- miral Schley will escape free from all blame. [
 The court unquestionably realizes that much of the matter before 1t is entitled to little weight, and that some things Lave crept in which should not be there at all, but when it has sifted out all these things it will find that there is still enough left upon which some adverse findings must De based. Though much of the testimony brought in as having re- ference to the second and third speci- fications, which relate to the movements of the flying squadron off Cienfuegos and its passage from there to point off Sam tiago, must necessarily be esdisregarded as having really no bearing upon those points, one serious matter to be consider

MUST WORK FOR PEACE.
Address of Filipino Chief Elected Pres
 ident of Peace Party.

Manila, November 19. = Paterno, the former chief of the so-called Filipino cabinet, has been elected president of the new peace party. Isabello Reyes was elected vice president.
 In thanking the large meeting for hls election Paterno said the war had lasted four years and blood was still flowing fast satnrating camps and making or phans. Fields which were formerly cov- cred with flowers are now deserts. The time has come to drop petty party poli- tics and the hankering after offices. The Filipinos must work in the interest of peace. and they would receive the bless ings of the rising and future generations.
 The Federalists object to the forming of the party, but several thousands have joined it in Manila alone.

Fsna1ngy ofhhe SchAy Courz of Znqmtry.

ed is Admiral Schley's failure to com municate with the insurgents in the vicin. ity of Cienfuegos. After his arrival at that place it was reported to him that certain lights were seen on shore at night, and every witness who was asked about these lights testified to seeing them, some on the first night after ar- irving, some on the second and others on both nights. It is clear that Admiral Schley did not know the meaning of the signals, and that no one informed him.
 Captain Chadwick, who was Admiral Sampson's chief of staff and had much to do with the sending of dispatches to Schley did not direct any one to tell him of these signals although the Iowa. Dupont and Hawk were sent to Admiral Schley with messages after Capt. Chad wick had learned of the signals. On the other hand, 1t Is equally clear that Ad- miral Sch.ey made no effort to interpret the signals. If, when they were report ed to him, he had made signals to his fleet, asking if any one could understand the meaning of the lights on the shore. Captain Evans would have been able to tell him. When Captain McCalla arrived with the Marblehead he immediately told Admiral Schley that the signals meant that the insurgents wished to communi- cate, proceeded to hold communication with them, and obtained information that no Spanish vessels were In the harbor. Soon after this fact was reported to Ad- miral Schley the squadron got under way.

THE ALABAMA CONSTITUTION.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
 John w. Tomlinson of Birmingham, one of the most prominent of Alabama's lawyers and politicians, is a guest ct the St. Charles. MT. Tomlinson was a candi- date for Governor before the last Demo- cratic convention and has been for many years leader of the party in his State. He is here for the purpose of attending the term of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, which convenes today
 In conversation with Picayune repre- sentative last night MT. Tomlinson spoke of the new constitution recently adopted by Alabama and explained the provisions relating to the franchise He said that it would have the effect of disfranchsing the ignorant blacks, but would. through the registration provisions, temporarily enforced, admit all whites who were worthy of voting.
 Louisiana was tho pioneer in this kind of constitutional enactment" said MT. Tomlinson, "and she has been closely followed by Mississippi, and now by Ala bama.
 q think we should congratulate our selves on the handsome majority shown by the official count-2S,O0O.
 'Some of the leaders of Democracy who opposed the adoption of the new constitution are now claiming fraud and have issued a call for the formation of new party. Among them. though. be- lieve not signing the call are ex-Gov Joseph F. Johnston. Gen. Charles E. Shell ley. ex-Congressman Jesse Stallings and ex-Congressman w. H. Denson.

Tennessee Takes Charge of Alabama.

The Nashville Banner is more troub- led over Alabama affairs than over af- fairs at home At home it is consid- cred at least two-thirds Republican, and now it is championing that curi- ous mixture of fact and fiction called the Conservative Democratic party of Alabama. It has not only joined it, but it has taken charge of it.
 It led off by denouncing the recent election and all returns thereof. "The machine in the Black Belt" was scored without mercy, quite oblivious as to the corns it was treading on. All Dem- ocrats who opposed ratification were applauded and all who favored it were denounced as monsters of electoral wickedness. It very plainly is en- titled to high place, even the leader ship of the Conservative Democratic party of Alabama.
 Campaign Chairman Underwood is set down as being altogether too hideous to be witnessed. The crimes he did not commit might perhaps be enumerated, but those he did commit could not be, at least not in a months time. Alabama frauds" is the favor ite crime he is charged with-commit- ted, too, against such innocent men! The new constitution, moreover, puts "a premium on fraud" and the Under wood machine does the rest. The banner is constrained to defend the innocents. ''If," it says at length, "tte people of Alabama are not able to grapple with the situation and over come the work of these politicians who seek to letter the popular will, excuse may be provided for invoking relief under the provision of the Fed eral Constitution which guarantees every State a republican form of gov ernment"
 This IS very sad. So innocent, too, are the Conservative Democrats-so innocent in the past. as in the future! Let us trust, however, that the Con- servative Democratic party will not at its approaching pow-wow adopt a plank invoking Federal interference on that line-a. least not unless it have a retroactive clause.
 The Banner published at Nashville, sleepy city in Tennessee, finally ap- peals to the people of Alabama to rise up in their might for the purpose of repeating the recent vote and for the further purpose of continuing in oper- ation the old constitution that pro- noted and fostered all the election frauds that the State has known since reconstruction times. The Banner plainly wants election frauds that go its way and not the other way. In this respect it is good Conservative Democrat.
