COMP MPLICATIONS
 ARE NOT ENDED Transportation of Colombian Troops Still Causes Trouble SHOULD FILL THE CON TRACT General salazar Holds That Pacific Steamship Go. Was Obliged to
 Move Troops Under the Con-
 tract With Government.
SHOULD FILL THE CON 1RACT

Panama. Colombia. August 24.-The the Pacific Steam Navigation company of Liverpool to transport troops from Buena Ventura to the isthmus on board the steamer Ecuador. are not yet ended. General salazar. governor of Panama, has received a communication from the acting British consul here, Mir. Hudson saying that his Majesty's government had instructed him to ask what protec- tion Colombia could give British ves- sels against destruction by insufficient forces in the event of their transporting troops of the Colombian government. To this communication General Salazar re- piled that the Pacific Steam Navigation company was obliged to transport gov ernment troops by the terms of a con tract made in 1879 between the company and the national government, that this contract should be fulfilled by the com pany without the necessity of the gov ernment giving previous guarantee of protection and that the insurgents could not oppose the transportation of Co., lombian troops in a British vessel be- cause any intimation of violence or act of violence on their part would expose them to be treated as pirates. in so much as they have not been recognized as belligerents.
 General Salazar said further that ir the event of en insurgent attack upon British vessel carrying government troops the government might be ready to pro- tect this vessel with all the forces at its command, and that the British men-of- war now in Colombian waters had been sent there with the object of protecting the interests guaranteed by the British feg.
 The Colombian government has assem- bled 2000 troops under General Velasco at J3uena Ventura and desires to transport them to Panama. It endeavored to com pei the agents of the British steamship Ecuador, owned hy the Pacific Steam Navigation company. to perform this service. This the e mpany-s agents re- fused to do and the matter was placee before the British consul at Panama At the requt st of the Pacific Steam Naviga- ton company the British cruiser Phaeton was sent to Buena Ventura to protect British interests.
 There Is a clause in the contract of 1S79 referred to In the above dispatch. which provides that the company shall transport Colombian civil and military
 employees prisoners, nails and soldiers at special rates.

ENSLEY.
Campaign Which Has Just Closed Has
 Been Very Active.

Ensley. August 24.-(Special 1.-The cam paign, which closed Saturday night, has been the most active that Ensley has ever known. Both the Jelks and John ston committee have put forth every endeavor and both are prepared for the final test of strength at the ballot box tomorrow The two local legislative can uidates have also carried on a most ac- tive canvass, and the general opinion Is that both MT. Hay and MT. Boyd wfll re- ceive practically the entire vote of the city. MT. James Liddell, of Wylam. will get large vote among the workingmen, and it is hard to predict the legislative ticket. A. J. Reilly and w. T. Kennedy were in Ensley yesterday looking after their fences, and as 1t seems to be gen. erally conceded that the lower end of the county is entitled to a representative, Mir. Kennedy was gratifed at the assur- ance he received
 After careful check of the polling list Il Is confidently predicted by the Jelk S crowd that he will receive at least two thirds of Ensley's vote and will carry beat 45 by not less than 100 majority
 The reports from Pratt City give beat R9 to Jelks by 50 majority, and the fact that the meeting that Dr. R. M. Gun ningham held at Pratt City last night was well attended and enthusiastically cheered, shows that the JellSs and Gun. nigham ticket is safe and the doctor will get almost the entire vote of both beats

ATHENS.
Campaign Closes With Joint Debate
 and Mammoth Barbecue.

Athens, August 24.-(Special.) 1.-The cam paign closed in this county today with speeches at Athens and Salem in the western part of the county. Hon. Phares Coleman of Montgombery spoke to a large crowd at the court house in this place yesterday in favor of Jelks and at Salem a mammoth barbecue had been arranged by the Johnston forces in this county before they found that the ap- pointment for that place had been made by the Jelks campaign committee and when P G. Bowman was summoned to make the Johnston talk 1t wis discovered that l..e Jelks forces had been there first and that Thomas c. Mcclellan had the hour. sc a division of time was had.
 This county will give Jeks more than a thousand majority. Interest has devel- oped here within the past few days and while Johnston has some strength it Is confined to a couple of beats. and his vote cannot be more than two hundred and fifty in the county. The people are arousued over the fear of the repeal of the new constitution.

 i. One commissioner appointed by ths governor like as in Georgia.
 9 One appointed by the combined rail Way interests. he to be one of the very best tariff men that can be gotten
 g. One commissioner to be elected by the people, starting first congressional dis trict; next time elected by second dis trict, and so on until one has been elect ed from each of the nine congressional districts of our state
 In this manner the whore Of the state would not be stirred up at once, while one is disturbed, eight other districts are cooling off and each in turn will have its representative On the board.
 The state would thus have TWO 10 one on the board.
 The railways would not fear such a board as they would feel that their in- terests would be justly handled
 If individuals get located in a bad sec tion, why they can pull up stakes and move on short notice.
 How different with a railroad, when once located it is there forever. For this reason they should be fairly treated.
 While rails and everything that goes into the cost of running trains have al- most doubled in price, still the railroads have not advanced their rates one iota for interstate or state business.
 The dormant commission Gas you term it has been blessing to our upbuild- ing our roads as no other state can show as much new mileage per area and square miles as can Alabama.
 The value of feed stuffs handled by rail- de xnrff1, f,, creased risk of damage, not a cent has been added to rates to cover this.
 The railroad employe Is quick to see that with the increased cost of food that they are not prepared to stand a reduc- tion of wages brought about by decreas- ed earnings of the railroads of the state.
 Capital is as "skttish' as the proverbial mule and when it is attacked they soon withddaw to a place of safety and the laborer Is the most harmed
 You are striking a heavy blow indirect ly at your wage-earners of the Birming- ham district
 A large percentage of the agricultural districts of Alabama is ruined by the drouth and we need the low rates from the more prosperous west.

 After reading MT. Whites long har- rangue in yesterdays Birmingham News Is 1t a wonder that no White" leader developed at the constitutional conven- tion in Montgomery, where they looked so long for one.
 This heavy canister which Mir White is dscharging at the wind reminds me of one of Private John Aliens retorts to his opponent at Columbus, Miss, when he accused John Allen of riding on pass, also the huge crime of working for a railroad.
 John Aliens reply was short he said railroads never employed fools nor gave

 The club met last night and extended an invitation to the Hermitage gun club of Nashville to shoot here for cham pionship cup on Labor Day. A barbecue will be given in honor of the visitors on that day.

them passes and that his opponent would never enjoy either of these privileges.
 Messrs. Conner and White must be in dire distress when they have to appeal to Senator John T. Morgan, man whom have high regard for, but who has al- ways fought railroads for a canal.
 I will state right here that If our sen ators had to be elected by the people with as many after their shoes) Alabama would have long since been robbed of the valued services of our venerable senator. John T. Morgan. He need not want it so near to the elective wishes of the peo- pie. Build your VanHoose canal to Bir- mingham and upbuild your section.
 Now some people think in my first ar ticle I had it in for Birmingham, but such is not the case, for I love to see Birmingham and the whole mineral dis trict prosper.
 Some of the very best friends l have are located in Birmingham and l doubt if I had located there years ago I would have been better off today.
 In the days of diversity and low prices of iron how quick the railroads came to your rescue. In times of prosperity people are prone to forget the helping hand dur ing diversity.
 I would be a very poor Alabamian to wish to see either the mineral or aericult- ural districts fail for we are sitting on the edge of both.
 All I wished to do was to call a halt and catch hold of the southwestern leg and help keep from jumping down the lions throat.
 What good can be expected to come from the leadership of those always look ing for trouble with the transportation companies
 I hope you now understand me, as I bear no ill-feeling towards Birmingham, only want you to stop and think before you leap. Yous very truly,
