JEFFERSON.

Birmingham, Nov. 16.-(Special.)-- When the official result of the election in Jefferson County upon the ratification of the new constitution was being ascer- tained today, a formal protest against the count was filed by General Charles M. Shelley, Chairman of the State Com mittee Against Ratification. The count had proceeded until the Nineteenth pre- cinct had been reached. Then 1t was that General Charles M. Shelley, Lee Cowart, General Fred Ferguson, Colonel w, H. Denson and former Governor Joseph F. Johnson presented the formal protest. Addressing the Canvassing Board, General Ferguson stated that in behalf of certain citizens of Birming ham, who were qualified voters, he wish ed present a protest against the count of votes in precincts 2l and 37 and asked that the vote in these precincts be not considered in ascertaining the result. It was stated that no inspectors or clerks were allowed. Some charges were made about the vote In some of the city boxes The protest was signed by Charles M Shelley and Lee Cowart. Sheriff Burgin, of the Canvassing Board; moved that the Board proceed with the count. Colonel w. H. Denson then addressed the Board entering a protest against Sheriff Pur- gin acting upon 1t. He declared that he was disqualified to act under the law as he was interested. Under the new constitution two years were added to his term ot office and he had no right to take part in the count. He became warm In his argument and critized the election as an outrage. Judge Stiles of the Canvassing Board, read the law, to which Colonel Denson argued, winding up by saying that this would not be the last of the matter The result of the count was as follows: For ratihca4 ion of the new constitution. S,OSS; against ratification, 6.160; majority for ratlaca- tion. 1 e2S

DISSENSIONS ARE SERIOUS

New York, Nov. 16.-"Your correspond ent has received from an authoritative source full confirmation of the rumors of
 Cabinet dissensicns already hinted at in
 pr evious dispatches, cables the London
 representative of The Tribune.
 The protracted session of the Cabinet
 has been a deep political mystery. for
 which neither. the pr ogram of the session
 nor the Mytilene affair supplied an ade-
 quate ciew. What really happened was
 an onslaught on Sir Michael Hicks-Beach
 by nearly all his associates. MT. Balfour
 joined Mir. Chamberlain and Lord Salis-
 bury and the Duke of Devonshire sup
 ported both in condemning the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which
 had sent down consols with a rush. Sir
 Michael Hicks Beach's financial admins
 u ation and his general proposals for car
 rying on the additional burdens of the
 war were harshly criticised, and h. was
 left almost alone, with all the strongest
 men against him. Lord Londonderry, Sir
 MichaePs closest friend, intervened as
 peace maker, and a truce was arranged
 by him. The Cabinet has been in session
 since this breach occurred and there has
 been a renewal of the unpleasant contro- versy. Some of the best-informed poll
 ticians are forecasting the early resigna- ton of St. Michael. The information, which comes to me from high author ity, does not go so far, but it confirms explicitly the report that the Cabinet as sociates of Sir Michael have been exas- perated by his injudicious speech, which
 helped to unsettle the markets.
 Mir Chamberlain and Sir Micheal Hicks Beach have neither understood nor sympathize1 with each other. One has | condemned the method of financing the
 war, and. the other has been coldly criti- cal of all matters of South African pol | icy There was a contest between them
 year ago, but Sir Michael with Mir. Bal four's amiable support, held his ground after acquiescing to the proposals for sugar and coal duties and othsr half way measures. The divergence of vii WIS clearly has been such this year, and Mir. Balfour has gone over to the side of MT. | Chamberlain with Lord Sali bury's ap- proval. The resignation of Sir Michael | Hicks Beach would be an affaiF of mo- mentous importance. He is the ideal old Tory and country squire, and has the power of rallying about him the unpro- | gressive Conservatives. There would be | only one candidate for the succession to | the Treasury, and the advent of MT. Chamberlain as Chancellor of the Ex- | chequer would be the sign for the adop- | ton of a new system of indi ect taxation l for the relief of the income taxpayers | and the promotion of the intere ts of Canada, Australia and other colonies"

DUTY ON SUGAR.
Rumored That Hicks-Beach Would
 Would Impose Higher Tariff.

London, Nov. 16.--A stir has been created by the rumor that Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Chancellor of the Ex- cheuuer, would impose another tax of half penny a pound on sugar, although inquiries by the representatives Of the Associated Press have discovered no in- dication of the probability of any such action It is an unwritten rule of the treasury that no industry shall be tam- pered with before two years running, and Sir Michael is not likely to break throug% hard and fast traditions, however pushed he may be for funds to carry on the war
 Nevertheless, the rumor has brought to light a curious condition of affairs,
 which would certainly favor the gov ernment should it decide to take such step, despite the tax imposed in the last budget. The British consumer is now buying sugar more cheaply than before the tax was imposed. This is due chiefly to the surplus supply, but also | to wholesale price cutting by Germany, | whose sugar trust is causing the British | trade the keenest apprehension. The ac- | ton of these German firms will form one | of the principal topics of the sugar con 1 ference which is to meet in Brussels on | December H. Although the United States l Government has not been invited to send
 a delegate to the conference, the Asso- | cIated Press learns that 1t could De rep resented if so desiredA and one Of the | leading authorities on sugar in England | is now endeavoring to secure the attend ance of an American delegate at the
 meeting in Brussels.
 Until after the conference it can be
 definitely stated that Sir Michael Hicks
 Beach will not take any action and even | then it is improbable that he will run | the risk of further disintegrating tusi-
 ness, which, on all sides. it is declared,
 would be in sorroWful plight
 Replving to a corr Aspondent. Sir 1 Michael Hick- Beach said the coal tax would be continued next year. but in- timated that 1t would not be increased.
 This will take a load off of the minds of British coal miners, who have been
 especially exercised over the inroads | American coal has made on the conti- l

 1t is now thought almost certain that Lord Roberts will resign the post of Chief next April if not sooner. and therefore will not take any prominent part in the coronation cere- monies. Of course dissatisfaction at the War Office Is nothing new. for it is an old story, but military men say things have never been so bad there as they are now.
 The recent order doing away with sabretaches for cavalry officers has not proved at all popular, though 1t may be the means of cutting down expenses

While there was some irregularity in two boxes, the friends, both for and against the meas ure thought best to let them go.

There were 1895 votes cast in the coun- ty, 9O5 for the new constitution, and D2O against it, thus giving a majority against the new instrument of 15.
