FUCKER MAY BE DEPOsED.
Constitution Says Martin Will Be
Collector of Internal Revenue.

Collector of Internal Revenue.
Atlanta, Nov SIN a special dis
patch from Washington, D. c., the
Constitution will tomorrow say, that
Col. I. H. Martin of Atlanta, will
probably succeed H. A. Rucker, col
ored, as collector of internal revenue
for Georgia. While the announcement
is based on unofficial statements, it is
believed here that Col. Martin will get
the place. He resigned the secretary
ship of the Atlanta Chamber of Com
merce and the secretaryship of the
Southern Interstate Fair Association a
few days ago, and this is taken as an
indication that he has been given to
understand that he will be given the
appointment. The announcement will
come as bombshell in the circle of
oftlce-holding Republicans here.
1t is said that Rucker believed him
self safe for the remainder of the term
He sometime ago had conference with
the President in Washington, and on
his return appeared well satisfied with
the result.
Col. T. H. Martin is one of the most
prominent citizens of Atlanta, and rep
resents the very best element Of the
Republican party in the South. He
became identified with the Republican
party in 1885, when he was a leader in
the Mckinley Club, presenting sound
money principles.

DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW.
Situation, Commercial and Agricul-
tural, Not Satisfactory.

New York, Nov. S.--R. G.. Dun x
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade to-mor-
row will say:
Little relief has been afforded the
leading manufacturing industry in the
matter of transporting facilities. In
fact the situation on the whole is less
satisfactory since inability to secure
coke has brought about the banking
of some furnaces. This in turn tends 90
harden the market for pig iron, though
no actual alteration in prices has oc-
CURED except at Philadelphia, where
rs cents more a ton is readily paid. AS
this industry is considered the best
business barometer, present conditions
and future prospects are certainly
most encouraging, for orders are album
dant and plants enlarging capacity in
order to handle the growing business.
Material is purchased now for much
structural work in the spring and
additional contracts are seeking
acceptance. Railway needs were never
as pressing, every form of equipment
being sought, and it is possible that
more orders will be placed abroad. La
Dor troubles and low water have add
ed to the difficulty arising from car
shortage, making three retarding in
f1uences affecting the output of coal
just when the export demand has be-
come factor of Importance.
Textile mills in New England are
busy and there is no longer any fear
of labor controversy at Fall River
Print cloths have ceased to be inflated,
standard widths resuming the former
quotation of cents, and meeting with
fair demand. Domestic buying of all
staple cottons is seasonably quiet and
the views of exporters are still below
those of sellers. Recent declines in the
raw material have not weakened
prices, as there was no commensurate
advance in goods when the cotton mar
ket was rising. Reports from the South
indicate that spindles are well occu-
pied. Weather conditions were chief
factors in determining price changes
of staple products. Low temperature
in grain growing states brought high
er level of quotations, corn rising %
cents above the figure ruling at the
corresponding date last year, and 26
cents over 1899. These advances of
more than so per cent. are far in ex-
cess of the ratio of loss in production.
Cotton weakened still further, port
and interior movements indicating a
better crop than was anticipated. At
the lower price, however, exports are
heavy and tend to prevent any seri-
Gus reaction.

COURT WILL REST.
SchIey Tribunal Will Resume Work
Next Monday.

Washington. Nov. S.-The Schley
court OF inquiry to-day is transferring
it's effects from the gunners' workshop
in the navy yard to the uptown quar-
tiers in the Mclean building, Vermont
avenue and H. street, which will be
the consulting quarters. No effort will
be made by the members of the court,
even to confer upon the case, however,
before next Monday, as they are in
need of mental and physical rest. The
court will ask the Navy Department
to supply it with clerical assistance,
and a stenographer to do the mechan-
ical work involved in the preparation
of the report. In order that the court
may absolutely control such assistants,
it is probable that recourse will be had
to men in the naval service, such as
yeomen. who are subject to naval dis
Cipiine.
Capt. Lemly. the judge advocate of
the court, has gone to Kansas City,
Mo, to attend the meeting of the Ma
tional Prison Association, in which he
is interested by reason of the fact that
he is specially charged with the con-
duct of the naval prisons at Boston,
Norfolk and elsewhere.

THE LATE AMEER ABDUL,
He Took Little stock in the white
Mans Ways.

NAHh Why's
From the London Daily Chronicle.
The Ameer of Afghanistan was one
of the shrewdest and strongest men of
our time. English officials. employees,
and traders who came into contact
with him are full of stories of his con-
versation. At the time when the
amount of the British subsidy was be-
ing fixed with him, it was explained
that he must do this and that and the
other. you remind me-" said the
Ameer. "of Persian tale. A certain
man took a piece of cloth to a tailor
and said: Make me a morning dress
out of it. and an evening dress-and,
while l think of it, working coat
The tailor did his best. and brought
them ell as he was told. But they
were of ,.oll's size. What more could
he do with the cloth?"
The Ameer was not q great admirer
of our system of government. On one
occasion a very high parsonage was
comforting with him. and said, in rela-
ton to some matter. That is a very
grave question. and / must refer it to
her Majestys government" The
Ameer, who did not clearly distin-
guish the parts of the British constitu-
ton, replied when you ask me a ques-
tion L am able to answer it at once;
when / ask you, you say you must
first ask 700 other gentlemen. l prefer
our Afghan way of doing business"
In many respects the Ameer was the
typical Eastern potentate of romance
among others in his fondness for sto-
ries. In some memoirs, written by
himself. he has given the following ac--
count of his literary tastes. He con-
sidered, ii will be seen, that the real
function even of the tictionist, who
sometimes takes himself Cor herself)
so very seriously, is to be taken as a
sleeping draught:
81 do not go to sleep directly 1 lie
down in bed. but the person who is
specially appointed as my reader sits
down beside my bed and reads to me
from some book, as, for instance. his
tories, Biographies. and biographies of
great reformers. listen to this read
ing until / go to sleep, when a story
teller takes his place, repeating his
narratives until awake in the morn
ing. This Is very soothing, as the con-
slant murmur of the story tellers voice
lulls my tired nerves and brain"
On one occasion he expounded the
situation to his Council in a parable
"A swan" he said, was once swim
ming in a pond, watched with hungry
eyes from one bank by pack of wolves
and from the other by an old tigress.
From fright or curiosity the swan in
cautiously approached the latter. The
tigress clawed at him and tore out
some of his feathers. In his distress
he swan over to the other bank, when
The wolves made a rush and would
have torn him to pieces had he not es-
capped INTO deep water
His highness then explained that he
was the swan, the pond the mountains
of Afghanistan the wolves Russia, and
the rigress England in India.

CALLAHAN ACQUITTED.
Omaha Jury Brings Verdict of Not
Guilty After Thirty-Six Hours.

Omaha Jury Brings Verdict of Not
Guilty After Thirty-Six Hours.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. S.-The jury in
the case of Callahan, after being out
thirty-six hours, brought in verdict
tonight finding the defendant not
guilty and the prisoner was discharg-
ed. This is the last echo in the Cudahy
kidnapping case, and is practically the
second time Callahan has been ac-
Quilted of the kidnapping charge.
The accused was arrested last Feb
ruary and charged with being an ac-
cessory to the kidnapping of Edward A.
Cudahy, Jr., son of the millionaire
packer. Callahan was first tried on a
charge of robbery. A trial followed. ex-
tending over two weeks, during which
over two hundred witnesses were eX-
amined. The jury returned a verdict of
acquittal and was severely scored by
Judge Baker, who presided.
Callahan was then held on a charge
of perjury in the robbery trial. Dur
ing the present trial the prisoner gave
way to the nervous strain and collapsed
in the courtroom. When the clerk
read the verdict and pronounced the
words mot guilty" the prisoner gave
a sigh of relief and his friends crowded
around to offer their congratulations.
The judge discharged the prisoner.
1t was remarked that there is now
little to prevent Pat Grove from COM
ing to Omaha. The evidence on which
Callahan has been tried would proba-
lily prevail in case of Grove being tried
on the same charges. and the county at
torney tonight gave it as his opinion
that Grove Will now return.

MAHER's EASY VICTORY.
He Knocks Jim JeGords Out in the
Second Round.

Second Round.
Baltimore Nov S.-Peter Maher put
a sudden stop to the championship as
pirations of Jim Jeffords of California
tonight in the second round of what
was to have been a ten-round contest
before the Eureka Athletic Club. Both
men stripped as fit as fiddle, with
Jeffords having all the best of it in
hight and reach. The first round be-
gan with light punch and a clinch,
after which both landed lightly and
clinched again. Then Jeffords touched
Peter with a right on the ribs and
they came to a clinch. AS they broke
away Jeffords touched Peter on the
chin, and the latetr growled about a
foul, which the referee declined to al
low. Jeffords landed lightly again, and
after another clinoh touched Peter on
the ribs and they locked arms once
more. When they broke away they
spared while, after which Peter sent
his right to the head without effect
The bell rang with honors easy.
In the second round Maher swung
right to the body. They mixed it and
exchanged a series of right and left
swings in which Jeffords got a hard

The Plan Believed - Embrace Big
Railroad Consolidation.
New York, Nov. S.-The Evening
Post says:
1t was said to-day that so much
nrogress has been made in the details
of the settlement of the Northern Pa
cidc and Burlington situation that it
will not be necessary to hold many
more joint conferences. 1t is believed
that at the Union Pacific Railway di-
rectors' meetings held in this city this
week the whole plan, as it affects that
company's interests, was laid before
the meeting, though it could not be
learned to-day whet her any official
statement will be made.
A large number of the reorganized
board of directors of the Burlington
railway, probably a half, will, it is
understood represent the Union Pacific
Railway directly and that company
will, in any event, have a half voting
interest in Burlington Railway affairs.
There will, of course, be no
extension to Salt Lake City
10 meet Senator Clarks road,
or 20 any other point not fully coun-
tenanced by the Union Pacific repre-
sentatives in Burlington's board. 1t is
believed further that the agreement in
Guides the transfer of all the Northern
Pacific SHORTCOMINGS of the Union Pa
oific interests to the new company to
be organized by President J J. Hill of
the Great Northern, and which will
hold the control of that company and
the Northern Pacific. Mr.. Hill will be
the dominating influence in this new
corporation, and thus of the two North
western railways.
The plan embraces the retirement of
the Northern Pacific preferred shares,
this plan being now practicable
through the turning over of the Nortn-
ern Pacific holdings of the Union Pa
cific. 1t is believed that the Northern
preferred shares will be retired by is
sue of bonds, although this is a de-
tail in the new organization of the Hill
financial company which remains to be
settled.

VIRGINIA CONVENTION.
CcnstitutiOnaIists Transact First
Business Since the Election.

ConstitutiOnaIists Transact First
Business Since the Election.
Richmond. Va. Nov. S.-The Consti-
tutional Convention held it's first bus
mess session since the election to-day
and started to go forward with its
work. There were sixty-three mem
bers in their seats when the secretary
called the roll and many others came
in during the session.
There was a great flood of petitions,
most of them praying the passage of
the Barbour Quarles resolution on
the subject of granting liquor licenses.
The Chamber of Commerce of this
city sent up, through James Gordon,
petition asking the passage of the
Withers' railroad commission bill an
ordinance providing for the establish
ment of a railroad commission.
The resignation of Delegate Newton
of Richmond city was received and ac-
cepted and the president issued a
writ fixing Thursday, Nov. II. as the
time for holding an election to ill the
vacancy.
After disposing of some routine mat
tiers, the convention went into commit
tee of the whole and resumed consid-
Grafton OF the report or the committee
on organization and government of
counties. The question required on the
amendment offered providing that the
mode of appointment of commissioners
of the revenue be left to the Legisla-
ture. Judge Portlock and Mr.. Barnes
and others opposed this. Mr.. Eggleston
spoke for his amendment, and Mr..
Withers spoke on the general PROPOSE
ton of having better system of as
sessing the taxable property of the
state. The amendment was voted down.
On recount the amendment was
adopted by a vote of 26 to %.
The convention at its afternoon ses-
sion decided that county treasurer
should be ineligible to reelection af-
ter their second term.

CHANGES IN THE DAYS LENGTH.
Result of the Investigation by Prof.
woodward, of Columbia.

Prof. r.. S. Woodward of Columbia
University, has just completed an in
vestigGtion into certain causes OF
changes in the length of the day. AS
tronomers have long held that the tims
of the earths rotation is not invaria-
BILE. Its loss of heat by radiation must
eventually tend to shorten the day, be-
cause of the shrinkage In the earths
diameter, and on the other hand the
deposit of meteoric matter on the
earth's surface must tend to lengthen
the day. Prof. Woodward finds that
from the first cause the days length
has not changed by as much as half
a second in ten million years. nor will
it change by that amount in an equal
period. He also says that these two
causes of change alone considered, the
effect from cooling will be felt before
that from meteoric dust will begin to
be appreciable.
Prof. George H. Darwin, however.
has demonstrated that the factor which
is certainly ultimately to lengthen the
day is the tidal friction caused by the
moon. Without giving the steps by
which Prof. Darwin reaches this re-
suit, his conclusion may be stated as
being that both the day and the month
are lengthening-the month here being
the lunar month, or time or the rev.
oluton of the moon about the earth
but that the rate of increase of the
day is much more rapid than that Of
the month. This will go on until both
day and month are equal to fiftv-five
of our present days, when moon and
earth will go round as though locked
together, the moon always face to face
with the same part of the earth's sur
face. and the two bodies moving as
though they were united by a bar. In
this seemingly remarkable state, says
Prof. Darwin, this planet and its satel-
lite Will remain. How long II will be
before these conditions come about
cannot be stated, but certainly ages
on ages must first elapse.
In like manner Prof Darwin goes
back to time when there were TWEEN
ty-nlne rotations OF the earth I'm a
lunar month, instead Of twenty-seven
and one-third as now. This was the
maximum number and comparatively
speaking a recent event. Going back
still further he finds the earth revoiv-
ing on its axis faster and faster. and
the moon revolving around the planet

and Another Gives Himself Up.
Sevierville, Tenn, Nov. S.-Bob Gait
lett has given himself up to the sheriff
of Sewer county to answer the charge
of being an accomplice in the murder
of Laura Whaley in 1897. Pies Wynn
