MR.CLARKACANDIDATE'
s1LMA CITIZEN HAY RUN Fo1
 SECRETA1Y OF STATE.
Says Hs Has Been Urged by Citisens from All Sections of the State
 to Make the
 Race.

Percy Clark, a well known citizen of Selma, who has been in Montgomery the pist few days visiting relatives, will leave today for Birmingham whither he goes on private business. Ii is extreme ly probable that Mir. Clark will be a candidate for Secretary of State before the next State Democratic Convention.
 MT. Clark as a citizen of Dallas Coun- ty has been one of the foremost Demo- crats of the black belt section and he has a wide acquaintance throughout the State. As a newspaper writer and pub fisher he has made many warm friends both in and ont of the State. s.
 When interviewed last night upon his prospective candidacy Mir. Clark politely declined to confirm or deny the report that he will be candidate for Sscre- tary of State He admitted that he had the matter under serious considerat alton in various sections of Alabama to sub init his name to the forthcoming conven- ton.
 The advent of Mfr. Clark into the race for Secretary of State will be interesting news to public men who study Alamaba political conditions. With Frank N. Ju- Han of Colbert and W, A. Given of Madi- son, representing North Alabama, w. C.. Bibb of Montgomery, the representative of Middle Alabama. James l.. Tanner from the great mineral district and Percy Clark of Dallas with the black belt section behind him, the race would be one of the greatest interest.

LIBERAL PARTY WRECKED.
By an Inexcusable Blunder of Lord
 Rosebery.

Brooklyn Eagle
 London, March GA mere figure of speech has wrecked the once powerful Liberal Party. hopelessiy irretFievably. Sir Henry Campbell r Bannerman's reference to the Tabernacle and its noble abstainer. Lord Rosebery, has wrought the final cleavage from which there seems to have been no escape. Lord Rose bery, in taking the eourse-not the only one that was open to him-of openly disavowing the official leader of the party. has made the greatest mistake of his life. He has made B great many mistakes. as do all men of affairs. but this Is positively the worst and most in defensible mistake he has ever made He has split the party in two Instead of rallying ell Liberals under the Rosebery banner-the only hope Of resurrecting it-he has thrown do%n the gauntlet to that portion of it which con outside the Tabernacle, or, as an American politician once remarked upon similar ocea Rosebery made his great speech at Chester held in November people Of all shades of opinion remarked that the star of Liberalism was once more on the ascendency, for the ex- Premier had returned to lead tho present op- position to power. He had but to say the word and the Campbell Bannermans. the Morleys the Harcourts and all the other supposed IT, reconeilabies would have nocked round him accepting his leadership with loyalty. But he has chosen to enter upon war of metaphors with any irresponsible spouter who cares to tilt with him, and the result is that today Lord Rosebery stands heforc the country as badly smirehed as the other cranks of the ex- treme Liberal Party. There they are, huring prettily turned anathemas at one another. The Campbell Bannermanites say. among other things, that;
 Lord Rosebery has cut the painter Lord Rosebery has pressed the button
 Lord Rosebery has lost his spade.
 Lord Rosebery has hoisted his flag outside the Tabernacle
 Lord Rosebery is ploughing the sands.
 And then there are endless references tn lonely furrows,' sleep walking -inperiaists' and Imperial bus drivers If Lord Itose- hery expected the rank and file of the party to follow him in his camp breaking enterprise he must have heen stupldy advised. for he has only succeeded in taking with him that small section of his followers who would have gone with him even into the ranks of the Tory party. They are merely the blind fol lowers of a wayward leader The moderate papers of the Liberal side seem to hope that 1t is not yet too late to effect reecnellia.ion. but l do not think there is the siige1trs, chance The ex-premicr has thrown all his opportunities to the four winds He VII not, cannot now become the leader of the L'ber ala and thus ends adventure which bade fair to be crowned with the most brilliant suceess The Tories will sweep the country again at the next general election and Lord Roxebery the expected saviour of Liberalism, may content himself with sittins en the Ep, son, I-rban Council making an ocC asion Il ens1ch in the House of Lords ss private an irrssponsible member a position from which he ean only be removed by insanity. bank Fiptcy or death.

"auo vADIs'' AT THE THEATRE.
Good Company Presents Dramatiza-
 tion of Story

A dramatization of Quo Vadis, by stanislaus Stange, presented by F. c Whitney and Edwin Knowles at the Montgomery Theatre last night vas all atre-g going public of Montgomery.
 The scenery was very pleasing. espec- iaily that of the burning of Rome by Nero: This portrayal was realistic and effective.
 Adclph Jackson. as Petronius, arhiter of elegance. with possibly more oppor- tunities. was by far the most accomplish ed actor in the company. He played the role of the easy-going, contented and fearless aristocrat who neither feared Caesar nor death. His work was superb.
 Charles Sutton. as vinicius. the tri' bune, was very clever, and his conver- sion to Christ and his prayer for the life of LyEia, was realistic and effective. His ed Lygia to death. was liberaily applaud
 Thomas NJ. Hunter, as Nero. Emperor of Rome. was entirely too noisy and he apparently overdid the part. His every sentence was loud and rasping, though his makeup was very clever.
 Carline Rohr. as Poppoea, the Elm press, wac an ideal queen, but her work was handicapped by severe cold.
 Grace H. Hanson. as Eunice. the slave for the part as she Is very beautiful. and her devotion to Petronius was as natural as could be portrayed.
 Mary Emerson. as Lygia, played the part acceptably. She is young. beauti- fll and graceful. and her delineatien of the part of an innocent. trusting girl was good and was we'll received.
 J. Montgomery-Irving, as Ursus. the protector of Lygia. has a splendid phy- siaue and played the part we'll His phys ical development is wonderful He prob ably weighs 200 pounds, and it is all hrawn and muscle. He is physical equal of Sandow. the strong man, and on this account one could easily believe that he could break the neck of bull
 The company as whole. is good, very good, and pleased the rather small audi ence that witnessed the performance.
 The great moral lesson taught is the feature of the production. The trust and faith of the Christians who gave their lives gladly for their Maker, and the songs of praise while the fire was sup posed to be burning their bodies, Is a lesson that will finger in the minds of those who witnessed the production. Es- pecially is this so in the case of Chilo who. like the thief on the cross, was saved by faith during his last hour on earth. The play is wholesome and can have nothing but good moral effect.

Views of Mr.. Carnegie.

Andrew Carnegie has withdrawn
his attention from his library en-
terprises long enough to write an
article for the May number of the
North American Review on the
situation in the Philippines. He
declares that we have drifted into
a false position as the invaders of
a civilize Christian land, the peo-
pie of which have a right to the
trial of independence. With ref
erence to the Influence of Anglo
Saxon races on people of tropical
countries, Mr.. Carnegie says that
Britain, after ruling two hundred
years in India, would, if she were
to cease to-day, leave besides the
railroads, telegraphs and canals,
scarcely a trace of her influence"
and then he proceeds to draw some
very unfavorably conclusions with
respect to ourselves. On the SUBJ
jeot of the methods by which it
been sought to subdue the Filipi.

"The American people are at last

ippine situation. At this moment
they are shocked at the perpetra-
ton of such atrocities as have rare.
ly appalled, civilized man, the proof
of which is found in the testimony
of four of our own officers, trusted

the problem which confronts us.
We now learn from the command
ing officer that in Samar the peo-
pie are now more intensely aroused
against US than they were at first.
There is no doubt that the best
sentiment of the country is in line
with many of the views expressed
by Mr.. Carnegie in his article.
