tween Lord Pauncefote' and Secretary
Hay. al protocol being signed. formally
attesting to that fact, which will form
part of the records.
Lord Pauncefote was in the best OF
hurhor ever this sucts sEful outcome Of the
labors of himself and Secretary Hay, for
he regarded the treaty as the most inn
portant convention ever drawn between
the United States and Great Britain, and
one that will do much to prevent fric-
ton in the future between the two peo-
pies 1t has been suggested that with
the completion of this great work, the
British Government might regard Lord
Pauncefote's services as ended, but it Is
learned that this is not the case.
Lord Lansdowne. the Secretary of For
eign Affairs. has signified to Lord Paunce-
fote his desire that he shall remain in
Washington for an indefinite period.

Rolling Mill for Sela.

Mr.. Ben J. Catchings. who is interested
in the esta blishment of rolling mill in
the South, is in Selma today and is in the
hands of Captain Harry Peacock and
Colonel F.. NJ. Abbott. 1t has been re-
ported that he would establish his roll
ing mill in Tuscaloosa or Birmingham.
but he says he has not yet decided where
he will build 1t. and the local men have
about convinced him that as soon as the
Louisville and Nashville extends its line
to Blocton that Selma will be the place
for him to erect the rolling mill.
The Louisville and Nashville will build
line to Blocton within the next year
and that will put Selma in fifty miles
of coal and iron ore, and on account of
the city's shipping facilities by water it
is thought that Selma offers far superior
advantages to other towns for the es-
Enlistment OF iron foCndries and fur
naces.
IT is thought that Mr.. Catchings has
been most favorahly impressed and Sell
ma may expect big iron furnace or two
in the near future.

TALK OF RosEBERY.
London Press Discusses His --latest
Move.


London. Feb. 21.-Lord Rosebery's an
nouncement of his final separation from
Sir Henry Campbell Bannermans section
of the Liberal party forms fruitful topic
for editorial articles and for discussion in
all quarters of Great Britain.
One of the most noticeable phases Is
the curious effect the letter produced on
the wording of The Times editorial on
the subject. Its friendliness to the ex-
Premier might easily be explained on the
ground of Unionist delight at the definite
split in the opposition ranks. Its decla-
ration that 'wAat the country wants Is
not brand new set of principles, but a
new set of men capable OF replacing the
policy of the empire precedes the signifi-
cant demand that Lord Rosebery's party
must prove that they can be trusted to
infuse business energy and capacity into
the prosecution OF the imperial policy.
If The Times continues, the fruition
of efforts in that direction may seem to
be remote. we can only say it may come
sooner than anybody expects it,
This cryptic utterance has started ru-
mors of new coalition between tho
Unionists and the Imperial Liberals, I'M
der the leadership of the Duke of Devon
shire and Lord Rosebery, besides the pos
sible detection of The Times in it's sup
port of the present government some
thing of this is very visible in The
Globes editorial article this AFTERNOON,
which while congratulating Lord Rose
berry on his emancipation" dilates
strongly on the pettiness of the differ
ences between his policy and that Of the
Unionists.
The Pail Mall Gazette follows other
Tory opinions in declaring that "a man
who can write such a letter as reply
to Henry Campbell Bannerman has the
grit which the empire expects of those
who lead it,
The Westminster Gazette. hitherto di-
vided in its allegiance. comes out in Ia
vor of Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman,
but sorrowfully admits that Lorde Rose
bery's letter means another term of gov
eminent for the Unionists. while 1t fears
Lord Roseberys group may be liable to
absorption in that party

private conference for two hours, then

ing an agreement.
1t developed today that an informal

but on the general question as to wheth-
err anything should be done. resulting in
an expression favorable to action so long
as existing American Industries were not

After today's conference, it was stated
with much defniteness by those in a
position TO know that there would be- an
agreement later. but belief was expressed
that the concession to Cuba would be
about 80 per cent, probably as a rebate.

Will Harrison Racap

Editor w. 7. Wear OF The Opelika
Industrial News. was a visitor to Selma
yesterday. He was seen by your cor
respondent and he expressed the opinion
that General George p. Harrison would
be a candidate for Governor against Gov
ernor William D. Jelks.
Editor Wear is one Of the strongest sup
porters Of Ex-Governor Johnston In Ala
bama and has been bitterly opposed to
General Harrison IN local politics in Lee
County. He says now that he is for
General Harrison for Governor and this
lends color to the statement that 1t is
thought that General Harrison will be a
candidate for Governor and that the
Johnston element in the State will try to
unite on him as a candidate against Gov
ernor Jelks.
1t Is known in Selma that General Har-
rison has been feeling among some OF
his warm personal friends to know how
he would fare in this County in case that
he should announce and several of Gen
eral Harrison's friends have expressed
the opinion to your representative that
the gentleman from Lee would not get
corporaPs guard in Dallas against Gov
ernor Jelks. Some of the old Confederate
soldiers here are very fond of General
Harrison, personally.
