Many of the street fakirs have been forced t6 leave town. and the rest must go, says Chief Austin. He has had sev- eral interviews with these eloquent gen. tlemen who give something for nothing" and has persuaded large number that the best thing they can do is to pack up their belongings. and move to regions more congenial,
 Some of the excuses offered by these men are interesting. One. who sells real diamonds for sf, would have sold Chief Austin a diamond had the chief not been opposed to wearing jewelry, and another had a patent medicine which he claims is .-cure all,'p and the very thing the chief needed. One had a crawling me chanicaI mouse which he assured the chief was no fake. and with which he claimed he could scare all the women in town Every one has some tale of woe to tell, but their prayers have been use less and one by sone they are leaving town. s s,sr fsa 1T ss io

COMMITTEE BUSY ON
 LICENSE SCHEDULE
Must Arrange Deficit Made By Repeal of Section q Regulating
 Merchants Tax.

The Miscellaneous Committee of the City Council is holding nightly meetings for the purpose of having the license schedule ready for the meeting of the council next Wednesday night.
 The schedule will have to be changed in many. places so as to make up the $10,OO0 lost by the repeal of Section 2, which include the merchants ad valorem privilege tax.
 The finance committee will probably agree to Colonel Altman's resolution and prepare budget which will show the amount of money required for each de- partment of the city during the coming year. When this amount Is ascertained the Miscellaneous Committee will have a clear field before them and will know how much money to provide to meet the expenditures. The Miscellaneous com mittee serves as ways and means com mittee and Colonel Altman suggested that they could better devise ways and means for meeting expenditures if they knew exactly how much they should raise.

Iron Market Status
 Is Without Parallel

The visible supply of pig iron in the United States. figured on reports made for November shows decrease of f, 2,000 tons. This, too, when the output for the month was on the basis of yearly, out put of 165O0,OOO tons-the largest in the history of iron in the country
 This statement was received in Bir- mlngham yesterday in private tele- gram to the president of local company and Is the estimate made by the Iron Age to be published this week. At no time in the history of the United States has such condition of the Iron market been ex- hibited. The prediction is made also that this condition will exist for months to come unless some financial panic or war should destroy public confidence and send all money now seeking investment to the bank vaults.
 The report is received here with good feeling by all iron men, who are just now very happy over conditions. It Is said by them to be certain forecast that the future of the district Is secure for the next one or two years at least. While these men are certain that the present prices or slightly increased prices will be the rule for the coming year. they do not think there will be a marked boom in iron. At least it Is the general wish of all that such will not occur.
 In speaking of this startling market condition ye3terday 6ne of the most prominent officials of the district said,
 When one considers this statement of
 Aa.H

decrease with the fact that the average monthly output for the year will be l. S75, GOO tons, then the nature of the report Is clearly seen. As a matter of fact, the history of ironmaking in the United States shows no parallel to the fact.
 "The condition is the result of the gen eral prosperity which Is being felt throughout the entire country, The de- mand for iron Is simply remarkable. and the fact that visible supply shows such a decrease clearly illustrates that sales have been unprecedented, Everywhere iron and steel Is being used in unheard of quantities. New locomotives, new cars. new steel frame buildings and many oth- CT such are being erected from the steel and iron.
 "A gentleman closely related to MT. Schwab of the Steel Trust who has been In the city from Pittsburg for several days told me the latter had said in dis for next year and possibly for 1903 would exceed any made in the history of steel making He said he considered the con ditions better than ever in the past and that his estimates proved that the quantity to be made would exceed all amounts hitherto produced"
 The stat ement as made by Mir. Schwab is a prediction based on reports received by him. as president of the great steel trust, and also reports received from out side mills.

WORKMEN FIGHT ON A

Louis Bowen Knocked of and Sus. tains Serious Wound On
 the Head.

Louis Bowen is lying at home with an immense gash on his head made yester- day afternoon by William Powell a ne- gro, with a. piece of lead pipe while the two were working on a scaffoid fifteen feet above the ground.
 Bowen, white man, works for the Williams furnaces and was on the scaf- fold with the negro, who Is his assistant, when the two became involved in a diffi- culty. The negro picked up a piece of piping which was lying near and hit Bowen on the head, knocking him to the ground below. where he lay unconscious tor some time.
 Bowen was taken to the hospital where his wounds were treated and finally sent to his nome on the North Highlands, He is seriously injured, but 1t Is not thought that the wound will prove fatal.

 REPUBLICANS IN A STEW

would like to invade the ranks of Demo- crats and break up the Hanna machines Is again revived. Despite these rumors the friends of Dr. Hughes claim to be confident of his reappointment and the packers of MT. Jackson express equal confidence
 The whole situation is in stew, and the Republicans candidly admit they are at sea as to the Presidents probable poli- cy in distributing federal patronage in Alabama.
 Joseph H. Montgomery has openly an- nounced his candidacy for the office of United States marshal to succeed D. N. Cooper. He says he has nothing to say against his opponents but If appointed he will give the President clean ad- ministration. The other candidates are Marshal D. N. Cooper, Charles Alexander of Attalla, Judge Shields of Jasper and Charles Lane of Huntsville. J. H. Bingham, collector of internal revenue, is still in Washington and ex- presses confidence of being reappofnted. J. P. Burton of Montgomery Is in the field against him, and George B. Wards name has been mentioned as a possibili- ty.
 The hardest question which confronts the President is the selection of referees to hereafter distribute the patronage in Alabama His recent action in calling prominent Democrats into conference has created the impression that he in- tends to take advantage of the ruffed feeling In the Republican ranks. and draw several Democrats into the fold. It is said he may ask these Democrats to act as referees. and thus smooth over the rupture in Republican ranks.

At a meeting of the Commercial Club committee appointed to raise funds for a silver service to be presented to the bat tleship Alabama, Maj. F. Y. Anderson re- ported his share of the money $5o call lected. The reports of H. H. Mayberry and John W. Johnson were read, and the sum of $115 raised by them deposited in the treasury. Capt. W. P Pritchard sent a personal check for s25. This brings the aggregate amount collected up to s1a0.
 Secretary J. B. Gibson was instructed to write each member of the committee and request them to take prompt action. In the event they cannot serve they are requested to so notify the secretary.
 Captain Pritchard has already notified the committee of his inability to serve on account of continued absence from the city. He promised to send an additional S25 to the check already sent in case the full amount was not raised otherwise. The total amount to be raised is 5000.
 The committee will meet again subject to the call of Chairman Anderson.

 It Is probable the placing of search lights in the tower will be abandoned on account of the expense. Heretofore the Gas Company has given the city twelve lights free of charge and as these will not be used in the new hall under the present plans, 1t has been suggested that they be used for operating the search lights.

Situation Caused by Shortage of Cars Becomes
 More Acute
EVERY COMPANY IS BEHIND
Railroad officials Say They Are Pow erless to Give Assistance, and All Glasses of Business
 Suffer Alike.

The shortage of cars in the Birmingham district Is now being felt sa keenly that but about 80 per cent of orders are being filled according to contract demands. No large company doing business in the dis- trict is able to secure cars for the move- ment of stock sold for December deliv- cry, and every day the question is be- coming more and more acute
 All the larger coal. iron and steel com panies of the district are daily protesting against the failure to provide cars. They are all begging also for enough rolling stock to move their larger orders. Railroads Are PowsrIess.
 The reilroad officials state they are doing everything in their power to assist in moving the commodities, but the de- mands are so extensive they cannot pro- vide relief. The Louisville and Nashville Is having built 800 cars, and Is also runs ming shops night and day, but at this they CdtlHOl 6lNt dHtplV ittthiNtNN-
 In speaking of the question yesterday a prominent iron official said:
 The present condition of affairs is sim- ply 7depiorable, but 1t Is being felt throiighout the entire country. I find 1t absolutely necessary to be at my office for ten hours each day in order to keep
 
 in touch with all railroad men and have cars placed where they are required more than anywhere else. Yet withal the att tenton I give we are only able to ship about 80 per cent of contract demands.
 All Companies Behind.
 q find that no company in the district Is shipping more than this per cent. and in some parts of the country not so much is being done. The shortage is due to the fact that the railroads simply haven't enough cars to accommodate the demand, now larger than ever In the history of the south. They cannot have cars built, either. for the mat erial Is not at hand" A number of other prominent officials of local companies spoke along the same line. all saying they were unable to make more than 80 per cent of contract ship ments.
 When asked about this condition the superfntendents of different railroad com panies stated that their companies were doing all in their power to relieve the situation, but simply could not secure cars. They say the complaint exists in every part of the country, every business being effected.
