ALABAMA'S SERVICE
HOPED SILVER SERVICE WILL BE EXHIBITED.
Splendid Silver Service Purchased for Battleship Alabama is Com pleted and May Be
 shown Here.

An effort is being made to have the splendid silver service purchased for the battleship Alabama by the people of this State exhibited in Montgomery.
 The amount necessary for the purchase of the service was raised some time ago and the making of the service was super intended by Major E. O. Zadek of Mobile.
 A Mobile paper has the following to say of Major Zadeks return from New York:
 Major E. o. zadek returned from New York on Monday and speaks most en- Enthusiastically of the magnificent silver service which has been made for the Alabama. He claims that no other bat tleship in the navy has anything that will compare at all with this one. It will arrive in Mobile about November l."
 The Committee appointed from the Ala bama Battleship Fund Commission Is composed of Max Hamburger of Mobile, R. N. Rhodes of Birmingham and Dr. H. T. Persons of Birmingham.
 This Committee will be requested to have the handsome service stopped In Montgomery and placed on exhibition.
 Montgomery contributed largely to the purchase of the service. More than $lOOO of the fund was raised in the city.
 The people of the city generally took an interest in the silver service for the big war vessel named in ho1Or of the State.
 The exhibition of the service would be an event of unusual interest. Those who contributed and those who had no part in the purchase would be pleased to in spect the masterpiece of the silver smiths art as the service has been de- scribed.
 There is a general desire on the part of the people of Montgomery to see the service and an opportunity of doing so would be welcomed and accepted.

opELL THINKS END IS NEAR.
Believed That His Suggestion Will
 Be the Basis.

New York, Oct. Ex-Governor Odeii made this significant remark at the Fittn Avenue Hotel tonight:
 q believe that the coal strike is nearer to a definite settlement fhan 1t has oeen since it started"
 The Governor would make no explana- ton of the reasons for his belief further than to say:
 "In my opinion this week will see an end of it,
 Although no definite information can be obtained 1t is believed that governor Odell was this morning in conference with both Mir. Morgan and President baer, 10 the latter of whom he so forcibiy out lined his position Friday. It is further more the opinion that Governor Odelrs recommendation of 5 cent per ton in- crease for the miners and recognition or the union will be the basis of settlement although the latter may be avoided m mart by asking the men to come oacK to work at the advanced prices without any agreement that they must leave tneir organizations. Out also without any stipu- Iation that the union will be recognized as a body. .,,o,
 So far as any legislative extra session goes. it may be said on authority that II called, it will be merely to provloe money for the purchase of coal at hign rates toi tbe nubiic institutions and possibly to ap- ~rorrio+e money for the relief of the poor. Rut although the legislature might pc called together for these purposes. It is in the power of the Governor while IL is in session 70 send in a special message calling for revocation of francnises eI auch roads in the State as obtained tneir franchises for the avoweo purposes VI providing coal to the people.

ALL EFFORT EXHAUSTED.
Administration Has Reached Limit of Resources.

Washington, Oct. 13.-Nothing was done about the coal strike in Washington to- day and 1t appears that there is nothing further that the administration can do at present, its apeaIs made to both operators and miners having proved unavailing.
 It has been demonstrated also that no effective legal measures can be taken. It Is believed that further appeals to either side by the President would be fruitless. No doubt some recommendation by the President will be contained in his annual message to Congress. By that time he will have further information on the situation which will be gathered by Car roll D. Wright, Commissioner of Labor and such other men as may be desig- mated to assist him in ascertaining the actual situation in the mining regions.
 While there Is nothing tangible in sight here, 1t is said there is a possibility that the strike may be settled by forces at work in New York and elsewhere. It is understood that powerful influences are being exerted to this end. There is reason to believe that the coal operators may bring about a settlement and make 1t appear that no outside influence either by the President or Governor Odell and the Senators from Pennsylvania and New York was effective.

WHY MINERS STRUCK.1
President Mitchell Makes a State.
 Inent to the Public.


 bnent to the Public.
 President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of America has issued an address to the public. It Is partly re ply to the letters of the operators de- elining to accede to the demands of the union which were published about ten days ago.
 Briefly summarized, the address says that every possible means was resorted to in the effort to prevent the strike, claims that the cost of living has in- creased to the point where the miner is compelled to ask for higher wages, denies the allegations of the operators that the productive capacity of the mine workers has fallen of, but, on the other hand, has increased, quotes off cial figures to substantiate the conten- ton that the employers can pay higher wages without increasing the cost of coal to the consumer, asserts that the coal carrying railroads, which control about S5 per cent of the mines, absorb the profits of their coal companies by charging exorbitant freight rates, claims that a ton at the mines means anywhere from 2,T40 to 3,190 pounds instead of 2,24O and says that more men are killed and injured in the an- thracite mines of Pennsylvania annu- ally than were killed or wounded dur ing the Spanish-American war. The address also says that in the event the union is crushed, which, 1t adds, is not likely, a new organization would rise from its ruins. It concludes with an other appeal for arbitration of all Ques- tions in dispute.
