A BIC RICE INDUSTRY
WHAT AMERICA Is DOING IN
IT'S CULTURE.
Fostered By the Government the In
portions in Texas and Louisiana.

Such an enormous quantity of rice is
now being planted in the southern sea-
board states where suitable stretches
of land for its cultivation exist as to
call attention to the Importance which
rice has assumed among the cereal
crops. This is due to several causes,
chief of which is the care taken by the
government TO foster and enlarge the
scope of this industry For several
years past the United States imported
from abroad seed rice to experiment
with in the rice lands of this country,
and now has a commission at work,
under the direction of its department
of agriculture, studying rice, its cul-
ture and the lands wherein it has been
and may be grown in every part of the
world The reputation of this country
for its success in the culture of rice is
known in the East, and it was to the
United States that Turkey turned for
instruction and information relative TO
putting certain lands under cultiva ton
in rice. Japan has $50 varieties of rice,
many of which are adapted to Amen-
can soil and one, known as the short
straw Japan" is in general use in the
gulf coast rice belt. 1t is a most pro-
life plant, and the stalk is short and
hardy, which enables At to resist those
heavy winds that sometimes ilatten
fields of long-straw rice.
The United States rice commission is
composed of Prof. s. a. Knapp and
Prof. w. II, Heilman. Prof Knapp,
who left Iowa and took up his resi-
dence in southwest Louisiana several
years ago, for the benefit of his health
has become an expert upon the subject
Of rise culture. lie has been making
tour of the world, studying the process
eg of raising rice in various countries,
and especially in China, Japan, India.
Philippines Egypt, and the islands of
the Pacific, and he has sent to the eX-
perimental growers in this country
seed that seemed to him adapted to the
soils of their states. Prof. Holman is
making a soil survey of the rice belt,
after which he viii map out It's differ
ent soils and determine their adapta-
bility to various qualities of rice and
other crops, and decide what fertiliza-
ton might be advantageously supplied.
For many hundreds of miles under
the rice belt an underground reservoir
of fresh water at a temperature of 10
degrees, is tapped at a depth varying
from 1876 to 200 feet
The United States government is en-
deavoring to discover the course and
extent of this underground river, which
supplies innumerable deep-Well irriga-
ton plants and canals with an ineXr
haustible quantity of clear water. This
underground river is easily tapped. A
well has been sunk in 1t to depth OF

Senate Committees Report DiS- closes Surprising Figures
ANNEXATION AN OLD SUBJECT
Negotiations for This Purchase Ex- tend as Far Back as 1867-Sec- retary Stewards Offer of ST.
 5oo,ooo Was Declined.

Washington, February 1.-The recent favorable report by the Senate committee on foreign relation on the treaty for the cession of the islands of the Danish West Indies which accompanied by written statement made by that commit tee to the Senate.
 This report shows that during the year 1900 the islands exported to the United States sugar, molasses and distilled spirits amounting to $56S,945 and that during the same period the expectations from the United States amounted to $624 524 s@so
 The annexation of the islands was sought by the United States years ago and as far back as 1867 Denmark declined to sell the islands 4or 5000 900. but made | a proposition to part with them for $15,- | OOO,O0O Secretary Seward offered s75OO,- 900 which was declined. He afterwards agreed to pay that amount for the is- lands of St. Thomas and St John, but the trade fell through. At that time Den mark insisted that the consent of the people of the islands should be formally given before the sale should be consum- mated. and when the vote was taken there were only 23 out of total of over 1900 ballots against thet cession. When the treaty was returned to the Senate of the United States 1t was tied up there for two years and ultimately failed of ratification Continuing, the report says
 These islands together with Porto Rico are of great importance in a strategic way whether the strategy be military or commercial. St. Thomas is the natural point of call from all European trade bound to the West Indies Central America or northern South America. These islands. together with Porto Rico, from the northeastern corner of the Car ribean sea, are of great importance in connection with the American isthmus, the Atlantic and Pacific. They are of first importance in connection with our rela- tions to the origin of the Orinoco and Amazon, and with the control of the windward passage. In view of the isth- milan canal and European settlement in South America, every additional acquisi- tion by the United States is of value. Porto Rico is densely populated. It's roads are poor. It has a long coast line without ports for large vessels. IL IS consequently l very difficult of defense. San Juan is l the only harbor capable of Notifications,
 and this is only suitable for vessels of | light draught."

of Harvard IS pages were allotted to Newman, and this was the largest space given to any one man. And a noteworthy fact about Newman at Harvard was that the board of trustees selected as the best specimens of English style Newman's S adoration of the Blessed Virgin
 A moving climax was when the speak CT described Newman as a silent man; a silent man as compared with Cardinal Manning, the battle axe ecclesiastic. When believing England felt that scien- tifc thought was about to overwhelm revealed religion the cry came up: "New- man for Gods sake, speak,"
 'I haven't time'' said Newman. 'I am at work on my history of the Arians of the fourth century"
 Another great climax was the lecturer s account of Macaulay's description of Newman's audience at St. Marys OK ford. There sat John Ruskin with his short, yellowish beard; there sat the gnarled Carlyle; there sat Lord Broug- ham; there sat Thackery, and there sat William E. Gladstone" And by grouping those great men was grouped the great est brains of England.
 MT. Adams closed his lecture with Newmans beautiful poem, Lead, Kind ly Light"
 At the end of the lecture the festival chorus, under MT. Guckenberger, Be Not Afraid.

NO BILLS AGAINST
 DEBENTURE OFFICERS
Only Complaints In Federal Court Now Stand Against Morgan
 and Dodd.

Since the adjournment of the grand jury the report published some time ago in the Age-Herald of the return of mo bills in the cases against George Nor gan, president of the Continental Se- curity Redemption Company, charged with embezzlement of the company's money has been confirmed. A return of mo bill' by grand jury can be taken up at any time before 1t adjourns and a true bill'' found. The grand jury having adjourned, however it's return of mo bills" in these cases stand good
 The failure of the grand jury to indict in any of the cases against Morgan. and also in the two cases against George A. Blnn, Jr., who was treasurer of the com pany, leaves no charges standing against any of the officials of this company ex- cept one against MT. Morgan and one against W. L. Dodd, former secretary of the Birmingham Debenture Redemption Company, charging them with using the mails for fraudulent purposes. The cases are in the United States Court.
 There is no charge of any kind pending against MT. Blinn.

Whistles for His Living.

Tom Brown, the clever double note whistler, who Is appearing at the Audi torium this week, has whistled his way around the world and back again. He whistles for his living and he makes good one. At his hotel the guests can hear him morning, noon and night but they do not get tired of his tunes as they do those of other musicians. Last night when asked how he happened to be a whistler he said:
 'I was just born whistling, and I am still doing It. My mother used to say l whistled instead of crying. and that it was worse than crying. As a boy 1 was employed in telegraph office in Holyoke, Mass, and there I whistled myself out of a job the operator telling me to hush or get fired. l got fired.
 Several seasons ago l was walking out of a theatre in New York after the mati- nee, when I recognized my friend the operator coming from the box office. l introduced myself and found out he was buying ticket to hear me whistle with out knowing who I was.
 "I made my first appearance in New York at a benefit performance in Chicker- ing Hall. Zele de Lussan, the famous opera singer, was also there. A drummer who had heard me in a furniture store in Holyoke induced me to try. Since that time have whistled my way all over the world and hope to go again.
 "In 1899 l went to Europe and there made the greatest hit; whistled before his royal highness. Prince of Wales, now King Edward. and he congratulated me personally. After that I went to Aus tralia with a Trip to Chinatown playing the waiter and doing a specially. Would you like to hear little music?"
 Without waiting for a reply a brass band suddenly turned the corner, came rapidly nearer and finally stopped just in front. It all issued from his gifted lips. Then there were several tunes with the double notes and a request to pick them out for yourself
 The present bill at the Auditorium closes with the performance this after noon and tonight.

$IOO ACRE FUR GOAL LANDS
Beuck 6 Ca Buy Property
 from Capt ", H. Graves

Captain ". H. Graves yesterday sold to Beuck & Company between 300 and 400 acres of coal land situated to the north of Birmingham on the Huntsville road receiving between $9O,O0O and $4O,0OO for it. The price per acre was $100 said to be the highest ever paid for coal lands in Alabama. The reason of this, 1t is said is because 1t is the best coaking coal in the district.
 The coal will be used in the furnaces near Trussvilie. The furnaces have here tofore gotten coal from the outside. From this land as much coal as can be used for the next twenty years or longer can be gotten within a short distance It is said the coke from this coal is the very best that can be made
 The grade of coal is very high and it makes a very fine domestic coal when not kept stored too long It is soft and runs in a vein seven feet wide on a gradual slant The miners are now 1900 feet under the earth and the coal has continued to be of a high grade and in large quanti- ties. It is estimated by geologists that 600 tons can be mined a day for the next eighteen years without reaching the end of the vein
 Captain Graves has retained 125 acres of land near the coal mines for his brick yards. The property is near the Mary Lee mines.

CHINESE NEW YEAR.
How the CelestiaIs Celebrated the Day-They Washed All Day.

Chinese new year was yesterday The long, except a small portion of the morn ing, which they devoted to eating a real Chinese meal, served in Chinese style and cooked by Chinese. Other than the short interval, fin which it took to dis pose of an immense dish of rice with chopsticks, a smaller platter of chop suey, and some real tea which was im- ported from the old country, the day was spent quietly.
 It was said Chinamen were laundred yesterday for the first time this year, but the report could not be confirmed at Charlie Lees laundry on Twentieth street. That is where the feast was held.
 The stove, at Lees which at least is American, was presided over by the head cook of the Chinese restaurant, assisted by MT. Lee in person. The Chinese waited on themselves. What they had to drink is a question. They refuse to say, further than that they had plenty of it. None of them seemed to show the effects last night, when they were found in the laun- dry bending over the tubs and ironing boards
 No "Melcans'' were invited Charlie says they cannot appreciate Chinese food and that he did not intend wasting it on Americans. Fifteen of the pigtails com posed the group, and from the noise they made they must have had high old time. The police did not molest, for New Year comes but once a year.

Geneva. February 7-(speieai)-The tax collector says about two-thirds of the voters have paid their taxes That one-third of the total vote of the coun- ty was over 45 years. Upon this there would be about 1000 voters over 45 and 2000 between 21 and 45 years. as there are about 3OO0 voters in the county. Two thirds of 2OOO would make about 134o be- tween 21 and 45 that have paid polls. Out of this number could correctly be de- ducted one-fifth for negro votes who will not register, not coming up to the test, leaving about 1O72 voters between 21 and 45
 Out of the 1000 over 45 one-f1fth might be dedcuted On account of negroes that will not register. or leaving 800 voters over 45 This gives total vote for the county of about 17S2. It is estimated that 20O0 will be a large vote for this county for November, 1902. The negroes have paid their poll, taxes better than the whites.

WHITES RULE IN LIMESTONE.
Negro Vote in Future Will Not Cut
 Much Figure.

Athens. February 7.-(special)-An in- vestigation of the tax collectors books show that of the 22O5 persons who were assessed with a poll tax 1857 paid. Of this number 1420 were whites, and of the whites 1211 paid. and of the remaining 7S5 negroes. S46 paid. The registration books would indicate that there were about 900 white men wno were exempt from paying poll tax on account of age and other reasons and this added to the list of 1211 would give voting strength of about 2100 in the county. There is no way of telling how many of the S46 ne- groes will be registered but the vote Of the negro will count for but little in the approaching election The 800 negroes who were not subject to a poll tax will hardly ask to be registered, and if they did 1t would not figure much

HENRY AUSTIN ADAMS.
The Famous Lectur|- Addressed a
 Large Audience '-sz Night.

A very large and cultured audience greeted Henry Austin Adams at St Paul's church last night The theme of MT. Adams lecture was John Henry Newman, the greatest of all English scholars and cardinals.
 The Rev. P. A. O'Reilly. in an eloquent and fitting speech. introduced the distin- guished orator.
 Mir. Adams looked the actor, and he certainly was the orator. With a clear. ringing voice he was heard in every part of the great church.
 MT. Adams easily ma$e his theme feasi- mating. He was epigrsmmatic; he was lucid: he was impassioned. There were marvellous flights of oratory, but the value of MT. Adams discussion lay in the ringing changes of the influence that Newman had over English thought and English letters. In the new curriculum

WHITE PEOPLE PAY IN BUTLER.
Very Few Persons Except Negroes Have Disfranchised Themselves.

Greenville, February 7.-(Special. 1.-The total number of people in the county who have paid their poll tax are 1o64 whites, there are between six and eight hundred over 45 years of age, and the number who are exempt from the payment of the tax together with those who pay, will give Butler county nearly 2OOO voters ex- elusive of the negro.
 There were only 2S5 white men in the country who were assessed by the as- sessor who failed to pay the tax, and a number of them were exempt so the total of those who deliberately disfran- chised themselves by not paying the poll tax amounts to very little in this county.
 Heretofore the negro vote and the white vote was nearly equal. about two thousand each. Making four thousand voters in the county. However it was seldom that a fiill vote was ever cast
