that Count Bulow has gained considerable

is being pressed upon him from Incorporate

after the incident of the sinking of the Haytian

that the United States has no right TO inter-

turned there last Friday from his arctic expedl-
ton in the steamship Fran. mapped. while he
was in the north an extensive district In the
vicinity of latitude S13I longitude ITO. He
considers II probable that groups Of islands OF
the same character as those already known
stretch 10 the westward as far as the meridian
of Behring Strait.

The Times considers that, as Lieutenant

Confidence In the Ordering of
State Primary by the Ex-
ecutive Committee.

Montgomery, July 1.-(Special. 1.-The
published report that Governor Oates Is
to be here by the tenth and that he will
enter the race for governor is not given
credence. Every POSSIBLE effort and in
ducement was made to get the Governor
into the race at one time but he reso-
lutely stuck to It that he did not wish to
hold that office any more and would not
so much as consider it.
private letter from him written not
more than twenty days ago reiterated this
statement that he would under no cir
cumstances enter for Governor It is per-
fectly well known and understood among
his friends in Montgomery that he wants
to run for senator and that II he finds the
situation at all inviting on his return
from Europe he will give Senator Pettus
the best fight he can put up. Governor
Oates Is put down by everyone here as
among those who desire a straight pri-
mary.
Governor Jelks, by the way expresses
the utmost confidence In the ordering of q
straight State primary the man that gets
the most votes to be the nominee. He has
no inside information from the members of
the committee. but relies on his confidence
in their willingness to comply with the
wishes of the people. Whatever the gov
ernor may have thought at one time as to
the best thing for his own political for
tunes, he is very candid now In the
view that he prefers TO get into a straight
primary, the longest pole to KNOCK the

Selma, July 1.--(Speeial)-A case was
decided in the City Court of Selma yes
tel day which will be of great interest to
the state Some time ago R. n. Mabry &
Co. were agents for the Hartford Insur-
ance Company IN Selma. The agency was
taken away from him and given to Hus-
ton & Monk. Mabry & Co. refused to give
up the registry and suit was brought
for the same IN a Justices court. The
point was raised that the book was
worth mere tLs 500 and therefore out
of the Jurisdiction of the justice. In the
City Court the case was tried with a
jury, an6 the jury brought in verdict
In favor Of the defendant, sgreeing with
Mabry & Co. that the book was worth
more to them than $780, as it contained a
lie + policies written and business done.
The company has been notified of the
ao,.sA - ,.4l cou.t and whether further
proceedings will be taken is not known.
This morning at 7:30 O'clock at DR..
Kings SanitarIum, occurred the death
of Mrs. Venable Holt Walker, wife of
the Rev. Lynn r. Walker, formerly of
Talladega, but now pastor of the First
Presbyterian church OF Pensacola.

for some time and went to the sanitarium
q few days ago for an operation, which
was performed this morning about s
o'clock She never recovered from the
shock, and the end came without her re-
~7i~'@~ consciousness. Her father, Mr. S.
D. Holt, reached the city yesterday, her

undergoing treatment. Mr.. Walker, who
has been occupying DIR. Cecils pulpit In

VALUABLE RELIC.
Gift of Literary Remains of Gen,
Elisha Z. Fair.

Montgomery, July 1.-(SpeciaL)-
latest valuable acquisition by the de-
partment of archives and history is the
gift Of Mr.. Simeon Fair, son of the
late Gen. Elisha z. Fair, and other mem
bers Of the Fair family. The gift con-
sists of a collection of the literary re-
mains of the general, and they cover a
most interesting period In the history
of Alabama and the country.
Among them is his commission to prac-
tice law of date 1874; his commission as
minister to Belgium In 1856; anc certi-
ficate as stakeholder owning one share
In the Montgomery library of date 1S45
The last Is unique and shows that many
years ago Montgomery tried to have a
library. Some OF the papers and docu-
ments are the only ones Of the kind the
department has yet secured, and great
value is attached to them. Gen. Fair
was a citizen of Autauga, where he
owned large bodies Of land and where
he died some years ago.
