WOMEN REBELS.
They Fought BraveIy in the Colon.
 bian Insurgent Army.

New York, December 1S.-A dispatch to the Herald from Colon, Colombia, says:
 woman colonel, Sonora Ramona Mendoza, fought braveiy with the insur- gent forces in the conflicts between the Colombian government and rebel troops at Nombre De Dios last week Her hus- band and brother were killed last Thurs day. When the government troops drove the insurgents from the trenches on Fri day Sonora Mendoza escaped to San bias in small boat with Indians.
 Sonora Mendoza has been an interpid fighter during the last two insurrections on the isthmus. She displayed gallant ry in the recent battle at Buena Vista.
 According to the latest advices, the rebels are still offering resistance to the government near Nombre De Dios.
 Employees of the Caribbean Magnese Mining Compeny at Nombrie de Dies have arrived in Colon. Among the rebels kill ed during the fighting was their leader, Colonel Sosa. He was one of the revo- lutionists who surrendered when Colon was recaptured by the government No revolutionists were taken prisoners.

FALLAcIEs ABOUT FLOUR.
That Made by the Roller Process More
 Digestlble Than Graham.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 It is the general theory among the ma jority of people that graham bread is far more digestible than that made of flour thoroughly ''bolt ed" or separated from the bran and middlings. Such does not appear to be the fact, however, if we are to credit recent experiments of the department of agriculture. Digestion ex- periments were carefully carried out with bread made from each of the several kinds of flour and the proportions of pro- tein assimilated and rejected by the sys- tenn carefully determined. The whole wheat Hours may afford greater propor- tion of the mineral nutriments, however as this phase of the subject was not studied, but as far as the available pro- tein fats, carbohydrates and energy arc concerned the patent roller Hours are pref erable.
 According to the chemical analysis of graham, entire wheat and standard pat ent Hours milled from the same lot of l hard Scotch Fife spring wheat, the gra- ham flour contained the highest and the patent flour the lowest percentage of total protein. The results of the digestion ex- periments with these Hours showed that they were valuable in the reverse order that Is, the standard patent roller flour afforded lesser amounts. This paradox, that the flour containing the smallest pro- portion of protein should afford the great est proportion available for digestion. is explained by the coarseness of the par ticles of the whole wheat varieties. The bran and germ of these Hours resist the action of the digestive juices to a great degree and consequently pass through the system unaltered. On the other hand, the finely ground condition of the patent | Hours improves it's digestibility.
 | It was also shown that the addition of wheat starch of flour did not improve its bread-making qualities or the size of the loaf. The most desirable four for bread making appears to be one produced by blending hard and soft wheat Hours, in which the undesirable properties of the gluten of each are counter balanced.

Cnnr itIon i Trade.

Good and bad conditions are inter- mingled in this country, but the good predominate. Last month railroad earnings were 12 per cent larger than they were in November last year, and bank clearings are 20 per cent larger week for week this year than last year. The demand for iron and steel is beyond productive capacity, al- though it has been carried to 16,000, ,000 tons year. The country as whole Is prosperous, with every prospect of a continuance of prosperity through out another year.
 The drawbacks are connected with speculation. The copper bubble fos. tered by the Standard Oil clique, has burst, and the losses are immense. Production out ran consumption, and when it did the water fell out of the Amalgamated company; the price of copper has gone down, and the entire stock market felt the blow. Liquida- tion set in, money became tight, gold went out, and things looked blue in Wall street for a while
 But sterling exchange has gone down, and gold can no longer be prof itably exported, and the pinch i'll money is abating. The best judges of the money market think there will soon be ease where stringency now exists. Exports are well maintained, so far as staple products are con cerned. We give below the footings of the treasury bureau of statistics for

point all the commissioners in his bu- reaus and the Postmaster General should appoint all the postmasters now appoint ed by the President.
 "A change such as have indicated would not prevent the President. of course, from smashing machine. for he would still be master. of the patronage whenever he cared to take hand. He could tell the head of a department not to appoint this man but to appoint that man. He could say: My policy Is to smash the existing machine; go ahead and smash. And an order of that sort would be promptly obeyed. But these cases of Presidential interference should be comparatively rare.
 "The time which President Roosevelt has given to Alabama appointments may be fruitful of good from a certain point of view, and yet it does not seem quite in keeping with the dignity of the execu- tive office for the chief magistrate to be worrying over postmasters and collectors
 Federal patronage will increase as commerce and population increase, and 1t is only a question of time when the President will have to be relieved of the bother of listening to office-seeEers and their packers and then sitting the recom- mendations in order to make the selec- tions."

RIVER AND HARBoR HEARINGS.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 Now that the Speaker has appointed the House committees the various chair men are anxious to get to work. Chair man Burton of the rivers and harbors committee will arrange at once for hear ings from delegations who are interested in the improvement of waterways. Mir Burton wishes announcement made to the effect that those desiring to present statements to the committee in favor of improvements should get in early so that arrangements can be made at once for hearing them.
 we desire to furnish the hearings as promptly as possible" said Chairman Burton, 'as it requires a great deal of time to frame the bill and several weeks will be given to hearings. Only two of the seventeen members of the commit tee are new members this year, so that there will be no necessity for those back of the old projects to make their argu- ments again this year. Fifteen mem bers of the committee are thoroughly familiar with the projects that have been up regularly for the past four years, SD IL Woulu pc JOSS or time to go over them again. There will doubtless be river and harbor bill this year, but I would not attempt to say at this time how much money it will carry. How ever, we do not propose to be extrava- gant. The engineer reports of surveys, which furnish the data for framing the bill, are not yet ready, but I understand that they will be available within the next ten days'

Cotton Seed is Scarce.

The recent advance in the price of cotton seed is further evidence of the shortage in the cotton crop. Seed now commands in Memphis SIS ton, or about 30 cents a bushel, on account of the sharp demand for it, and small offerings of 1t.
 This price is justified by the high and rising prices of all products of the mills that crush seed The advances in the prices of these products in the last six weeks must have sprung from knowledge that the cotton crop would prove to be short. The mill men are rarely deceived in this re- spect. They are in close touch with the ginners, and no one knows better what the output of district will be than it's ginner.
 As things stand the cotton seed mill men are competing sharply for seed; seed products are going up; the supply is short, and even higher prices may be paid for the balance of the seed crop. A Northern man once said that his State would, if the climate permitted, grow cotton for the seed alone, and prices this year show that his estimate of the value of the seed in cotton was not unduly exaggerated. The seed in cotton has become an i'm. portant feature of the crop.
 But we started out to say merely that SIS seed means a short crop of cotton--a crop of about the size shown in the governments estimate. Better expert evidence cannot be found.

Senator Hanna on Labor.

The Ohio Senator may be endeav- bring to revive his Presidential boom, which had become somewhat worn and frazzled, and this may account for his recent effort to settle by arbitra- tion conflicts between capital and la bor But it scarcely matters what his ulterior motives are. He speaks prac- ticaly for capital, and if capital is ready to arbitrate all labor disputes, it is plain the day of strikes and lock outs is about ended.
 He believes all strikes are inexcus- able and always preventable. This may be said of wars, but still they continue to occur. The one side or the other is mistaken or hard-headed. ; A strike is war in all but gun powder and the like. It is a conflict. The one side or the other is in error, and arbitration is the only known remedy, because by it third persons are brought in who are not swayed by the motives and mistakes of either contestant.
 If Senator Hanna or any one else can induce capital and labor to accept in all conflicts between them arbitra- tion, there will be very few conflicts between them-in the long run, per haps none. But who can do this? The steel trust refused to accept arbitra- tion last summer. and all the efforts of the National Civic Federation will prove abortive if the two sides in a contest will not accept arbitration. There is no reason why side should not accept arbitration even if 1t knows" it is right. If 1t be as right as it thinks it is, arbitration of the true and correct sort would but be confirmation of it's position. It is easy enough to provide good and honor able arbitrators, but it is not so easy to make ths two sides of heated con- test submit all points in dispute to those arbitrators. There's the rub, and it is difficult at present to. see a <remedy for it. However, constant search for a remedy may unearth one. The effort in New York is certainly promising, and some good may come from it.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE BOSSES

 Another anti-Addicks appointment in Delaware, with President Roosevelts compliments to Senator Hanna! That gen. tleman's friends. North and South-par- in pain over the entire disregard shown by the reckless young man In the White House for a carefully constructed politi- cal machine. Answering but as yet sub dued. walls of anguish come from the Fairbanks machine in Indiana and the Kerens machine in Missouri. The various chief engineers exchange looks of am age ment. "IIe thinks he can get along with out Us," That Is tha; thing which over comes them with special wonder-a presi- dent of the United States goes coolly, even gayly right over the heads of bosses to select good men for offlce Is he mad? |? Or does he not really want to be renomi- mated? As to that last. we presume that President Roosevelt is not bothering his head about it. He does not need to. No President by taking thought could do so much to increase his real political strength as Mir. Roosevelt has done since he entered the White House by not talk ing thought. The country has seen in him a president unafraid and absolutely hon. est. For all that such a man needs to care, even in political matters. the bosses may go hang Grover Cleveland showed how to be renominated, though opposed by a.. his party bosses; and it may be that Theodore Roosevelt will again~exhib- 1t in that way tie power of bravery's 8 simple gravitation."

it was authorized in 1895. and doubt less he will be permitted to retain this chairmanship while he remains a Sen ator, and he will be a Senator as long as he lives.
 Some of the Republicans desired to substitute a Republican for the only Democratic chairman in the Senate, but some of them distrusted both Senators Hanna and Platt, both of whom were in line for promotion. Both of them have dealings with the international railroad interests. Both are open to many sinister influences, and neither commands the undivided support of Republican Senators when heavy financial interests are at stake in the form of railroads. Both are seekers of campaign funds. So it was agreed that John Tyler Morgan should continue to hold the chairmanship, and for this conclusion Alabama should be glad and the country grate-. ful. For our incorruptible Senator will leave no stone unturned to start, if not complete, the canal in his own lifetime, and he promises to secure a big start in that direction at this ses- sion of Congress. All things conspire to hasten the actual throwing of dirt.

President Should Be Relieved.

"If President Roosevelt is the original and business-like executive that he has the reputation of being he should ask Congress to transfer the greater part of his appointing power from the President to the heads of departments" said an old and thoughtful man of affairs.
 "Fifty years ago, when Federal patron age was small 1t took up little of the Presidents time to make appointments But today the appointments of postmas- ters alone consume much of the Presi- dents time that might be given to larger questions. The Secretary of State should appoint all consuls; the Secretary of the Treasury should appoint all collectors; the Secretary of the Interior should ap-

HAS WICKED SUBURBS.

From the Bessemer Weekly.
 Bessemer naturally feels an interest in Birmingham. and when 1t was charged that the Magic City was the wickedest town in Uncle Sam's domain we of Bes- semer felt like going to her rescue. True, the charge was sustained by figures gath cred by the census bureau; but when the good name of a moral city like Birming- ham Is wantonly abused and brought into disrepute. census bureau figures don't go. It is true that Birmingham has a population of 3S,OOO. and that more than 5000 arrests were made during one year; but it must be remembered that this num- Der includes many citizens of Bessemer, Ensley and numerous other suburbs, who acquired the wicked habit of going to Birmingham when they wanted to be ar rested. No, Birmingham is not bad.

BOSS OF THE SENATE.

From the Washington Times.
 Senator Aldrich has gained the title of the most influential man in Congress" and he deserves the appellation. The pre- siding officer of the Senate and the speaker of the House are high officials, put the two together do not wield so much power and influence as does the statesman from Rhode Island. He yields | power with Republicans and Democrats alike. and when he sets out to obtain legislation he usually gets what he Is af- ter. When a Senator wants a bill put through without opposition he consults Mir. Aldrich. If the latter says that the measure can be passed 1t becomes a law, tut if he says nothing can be done with the proposition, nothing Is done. no mat ter how hard others battle. Mir Aldrich has been likened to ex-Senator German. The main difference between the two is that while Mr. German has political ann buttons for himself Mir. Aldrich has none This, he says, has been the secret of his success. He has handled Democratic Senates with the same ease as those which boasted Republican majority, and today, as of old, the law is still ''see Aldrich.'

TRUST DIVIDENDS.
Thirty-one Millions In Christmas
 Money to Stockholders.

From the New York World.
 Wall street could spend more than $31.- OOOoOO on Christmas presents if stock holders should appropriate for such pur- chases the amount of their December dividends. The exact figures are $51. 7S9.- 319
 More than three billion dollars or,
 exactly s. 103 300 - is the capital on
 which these dividends are declared. The predominance of the figure "3'' is remark able here. The sum reads like lottery ticket. The largest dividend for @ecember Is
 that declared by the steel trust. On $ capital of s1, 300, 100000 a dividend of $13.- 900, 900 Is declared for the month of De- cember, while next in order come the | dividends on Standard on amounting to | s, ,0OO.OOO on a capital stock of s1oo.000,OOO | Stockholders in the big money-malsing
 companies, if they banded together and distributed their dividends among the people of the United States. could give ev- cry man, woman and child in the country l a Christmas present of s2.s5. | Supposing that the stockholders who
 will receive these dividends should decide
 to spend them solely for Christmas pres ents. The owner of large block of stock
 in the steel trust could present his friend
 with a nagnihcently- equipped yacht and
 have something to spare, while Stand

How President Roosevelt Keeps
 His Callers in Good Humor

present laughed, for they also were in good humor.
 All this is very characteristic of the master in the White House and his daily receptions.
 Former Congressman Jesse F. Stallings spent yesterday and today in Washing ton, having arrived from Alabama Mon- day morning. He was on his way to New York. whither he Journeyed tonight. Mir. staIlings declared that he had no busi- ness in Washington; that he merely stopped off here to renew old congress sional acquaintances and see Alabama friends. He is the embodiment of good health and spirits, and seemed as happy as if he held credentials to a seat in the Senate. Next week Mir. Stallings and his family will remove from Greenville to Montgomery. and will permanently reside in the state capital. Thus 1t would seem that Jess" means to give up planting oats on his Butler County farm.
 Former Congressman A. T. Goodwin is also here. He was received by the President today, being presented by Con gressman Wiley. It is believed that he will try to help some of his Republican friends who are seeking appointments.
 Capt Noble Wiley of Montgomery was received Dy the President yesterday his father, Congressman Wiley, presenting him. Captain Wiley was designated last summer by President Mckinley for ex- animation for appointment as lieutenant in the regular army. but was rejected for alleged defect in his hearts action. The Alabama delegation secured last week reconsideration of the case and Captain Wiley was again designated for exam nation, this time mental. He failed in mathematics only, and that by but seven points. He will come up again for exam ination shortly and will undoubtedly pass. Another young Alabamian who was 'in the same boat" with Captain Wiley is William Fitzhugh Jones, son of Col. Harvey Jones, state tax commissioner of Alabama. He failed in mathematics by two and a half points, but tried again and passed. He will now be formally ap- pointed to the army as a lieutenant. This young man is grandson of the lamented Bishop Wilmer, Episcopal bishop of Ala bana.
 Former State Senator Frank $. Moody of Tuscaloosa, who had been in Washing ton a day or two and who was received by the President Monday forenoon. left Washington for New York this morning He will return to Alabama at the end of the week.
