 Take Radical Step.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 26.-The officials of the several large mine companies in this region are authority for the statement that the men are ap- plying to then, daily for employment of any kind. Among the applicants are nearly all classes of workers. including miners, and it is said that nearly all the companies have more men to draw on than they need during the progress of the strike. The majority of the companies that compelled to pump water from their mines are working their engines and other machinery full handed, according to stat dement's made by the superintendents.
 District President Williams of Michi- gan, who is here today said he is n- clined to think that the special national convention at Indianapolis next month will not take radical step. He says that Michigan will do whatever President Mitchell thinks is best for the organiza- ton. and he feels sure the other states will do the same thing.
 We consented to the call for the con- vention because 147OO0 mine workers in the east asked us for our help he con- tinued.

Chairman Robert J. Lowe yesterday is-

Chairman Robert J. Lowe yesterday is- sued a call rrr meeting of the state executive committee of the Democratic and Conservative party of Alabama to July 10. It had been anticipated for sev- eral days that the committee would be called to meet on this date, but 1t was only finally determined on yesterday.
 This will be one of the most important meetings in the history of the party in Alabama. as it will have to pass upon the burning question of whether the next Democratic state ticket is to be chosen in primaries or conventions. The chairman does not state this as the business to come before the committee. probably for the reason that the committee may de- sire to discuss other important matters. It has been held that if the purpose of the meeting is stated in the call that the committee has not the right to consider other matters.
 There will in all probability be very full meeting of the committee in Mont gomery. and every member who can do so will attend The committee does not recognize proxies. The sessions will prob- ably be held in the Council chamber.
 Will Give Impetus.
 It Is very generally believed that the call for the committee meeting will give impetus to the campaigns for the several state offices As a matter of course, the people are most interested in the contest for Governor, and they are keenly watch ing for developments in this race.
 Governor Jelks had the field all to him. self for the gubernatoral nomination until this week. Judge E. A. Caffee announced on Tuesday and MT. L. B. Musgrove, vice president of the Corona Coal and Iron Company of Walker County, gave out an interview yesterday in which he said he had had the question of running for the Democratic nomination for Governor under consideration for sixty days. Close friends of Mir Musgrove say that he cer- tainly intends to run The prospective candidate spent several days in Birming- ham this week but left yesterday for his home at Jasper.
 A friend telegraphed to him yesterday afternoon asking if 1t was time that he was candidate, The following reply was received:

 indication of Complications.

London, June 2s-The British Medical Journal says:
 Should the Kings symptoms pursue tho course they have hitherto followed there Is good reason to hope for his Mh1esty's restoration to health
 The condition of the parts made clear at the operation was such as to assure the surgeons that the abscess was due 10 one of those unexplained infamma- lions which occur with remarkable fre- quency in the neighborhood of the yer inform appendix, and that 1t was not due to any organic disease of more se- rious nature or to any maligent growth, as rumor has suggested.

HEAVY RAINS IN TEXAS.
Drouth By No Means Relieved as a
 Whole.

Houston, June 26.-Heavy rains Tell to- day in portions of south Texas and there was scattered showers in central Texas. The drouth is by no means relieved over the state as a whole but in the section where rain has fallen, cotton will be greatly benefited. The corn is too far gone to gain any advantage, but rice will be helped as there was a shortage or water for irrigation purposes.
 The clouds are going westward tonight and the late reports indicate that the southeastern and southern positions of the state will be soaked.

doors were swung open, sunlight streamed in and the Duke of Cambridge, leaning heavily on tho arm of an equiry, walked to the chancel.
 AS 12 o'clock struck, th.re arose from the far end of the Eave the clear notes of the opening sentences of tho litany, chsnted by four of the cathedral clergy. Their cones were il; such unison that they seemed to emanate from one powerful votoe At each supplic cation, the process sicn with the cross at its head, advanced a few steps, and then stood still until the response YVES completed. Through the kneeling congregation the choir advanced to the chancel steps. A score of the clergy followed and behind them were ten bishops in gorgeous robes.

Bishops Enter.

Then came the Most Rev William Dalyrimple Michigan, the Archbishop of York; the Most Rev. Frederick Temple, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Lord Mayor, Sir J. E. Dimsdale, the cor poration In full state, bringing up the rear With evident feeling the choir sang the three pslams of intercession, after which the Right Rev. Cosmo Gordon Lang, Bishop of Stephney, read the les son, Isaiah chapter 3S, verse 10:
 "I said in the cutting off of my days. I shall go to the gates of the grave; I am deprived of the residue of my years"
 The Right Rev. Arthur F. w. Wing ham, bishop of London, from the altar steps, read the prayers:
 70 Lord, save the King"
 His voice rang out to the furtherest recess of the dome and brought a whole souled response from the choir and the congregation.
 The anthem and the singing of the hymn, Thine Orm, O Lord, in Days of Old was Strong to Heal and Save" and Psalm 51 concluded the short service, whereupon the bishop of London, sur rounded by the archbishops and bishops from the altar steps, impressively pro- nounced the benediction.

Judge Caffee announced yesterday that he would begin the publication of new paper next week, which he will christ en The People. Speaking of this proposed publication, Judge Caffee said
 "The paper will assume and strictly maintain the high standard on which the Alabaman was founded. Its political policy will be devoted to true interests of the people, and it will attack the enemies of pure and absolute popular government wherever found. No mercy will be shown the hypocrites. The Peo- pie will be printed on the finest paper; such as the de luxe editions Of book publishers are made of, and in every particular it will be clean and healthy. and free from grossness or abuse.

caffee and ouarIes to Confer.

Meanwhile Judge Caffee. the only avowed opponent of Governor Jelks, Is receiving many letters regarding his candidature, and assurances of support come with them. Judge Caffee will go to Shelby Springs this morning to spend a few days where he has an appointment to meet Col w. w. Quarles of Dallas, who is spoken of as probable candidate for Governor In connection with this conference there comes an interesting rumor to the effect that Colonel Quarles may make a formal announcement of his candidacy within the next few days and that Judge Caffee may withdraw in his favor. The judges friends say, how ever, that he will not withdraw.
 Judge Caffee has severed his connec- tion with the Alabamian, a newspaper which he founded but which is largely owned by former Governor Johnston. In yesterdays issue of that paper the only reference to the announcement of Judge Caffee for Governor was an interview reproduced from an afternoon paper with a foot note in brackets that Captain Johnston haG not the slightest idea of the intention of Judge Caffec to enter the race until be read the announcement This statement Is taken as confirma ton of the rumor that Judge Caffce and the former Governor are no longer on very close terms.

Bowed Heads in Prayer.

For a few moments complete silence reigned and all heads were bowed in prayer, after which the almost blind archbishop of Canterbury was carefully led uown the steps, the procession re- formed and the congregation went out into the sunlight, gladly discussing the wording of the latest bulletin from Buckingham palace.
 Simultaneously a similar service was conducted at t Margaret's Church, conducted at St. Markaret's Church, Westminster. It was largely attended by cabinet ministers. peers and mem bers of the house of commons and was concluded with singing, God Save the King"
 From India. Australia and Africa ev- anywhere where Britons congregate, telegrams announce the holding of im- pressive supplicatory services.
 Family Spends Quiet Evening.
 Inside the palace the members of the royal family spent a quiet evening and the number of callers was smaller than any night this week.
 With the favorable progress of the King there is much discussion as to how the coronation will eventually be effected While nothing has in any way been defl- nitely settled, it appears that King Ed ward IS nkely 10 CeIeDrate the event very quietly and with merely the ceremony that attends the opening of Parliament. This consists of drive direct to West minister Abbey accompanied by a small escort and a speedy return to Bucking- ham Palace. and 1t Is rumored that no foreign princes or envoys will be espe- cially invited for the occasion.
 If King Edward maintains his present rate of improvement London will soon be emptied of It's holiday crowd.
 Harcourt Declines Honor.
 London, June 2e.-Previous to making up the list of coronation honors King Edward sent letter to Sir William Yer non Harcourt, Liberal leader of Parlia- msnt, offering him a peerage. Sir William in his reply expressed his appreciation of this offer. but added that after thirty four years in the House o: Commons he was reluctant to change the sphere of his political work. and that he therefore declined the honor.

for Governor. May have something for the press later. L. B. MUSGROVE."
 Definite decision by MT Musgrove will be awaited with great interest, for the politicians seem unable to discern the real politics in his probable candidacy He has been a strong friend to Governor Jelks, and it Is known that the Governor has counseled with hiEs relative to Walk CT county appointments It may be stated that the friends of the present Governor are puzzled over the matter. Then on the other hand 1t seems hardly possible that MT. Musgroye can look to the anti-oonstitutional convention eie- ment for principal support. Former Governor Johnston, the recognized leader of this faction, and 1t iE thought that in case he does not consent to lead the fight for this element that he will be able to dictate the leader. It is under stood that MT. Musgrove and Captain Johnston have been wide apart In poli- tics for the past two years. However, there were rumors on the streets last night that these gentlemen had settled their differences, and that MT. Musgrove would get the support of Captain John ston. This rumor Is not verified.
