May Be Conflict Between
Young and Old Soldiers.
General Harrison Appeals to People
of Montgomery Not to Permit
Street Entertainment Dur
ing Meeting of Ala
bama Division.

| Unless the two infantry companies ,oi
| Montgomery at joint meeting tonight
recede from the position they have taken
| with refe ence to the dates OF a proposed
| Street Fair in Montgomery in Novem-
'ber, there will be conflict between the
young soldiers and the Confederate vet
Grams of Alabama.
November II and 13 are the dates fixed
for the annual reunion in Montgomery of
the Alabama Division, United Confederate
Veterans. The two infantry companies
of Montgomery propose TO have a Street
Fair here to include these dates.
Gen. w. e. Oates, who has called a
reunion of the survivors of his old regi-
ment. the 10th Alabama, at the same time
as the Division reunion, was the first
veteran to object to the proposed Street
Fair He was emphatic in his objection
aud said If the young soldiers of Mont
gomery insisted on taking the dates fixed
for the reunion. he would call off the
meeting of his old comrades
There was no conference between Gen.
eral Oates and the officers of the local
military companies, but when the young
soldiers learned that General Oates OBJ
jected to the Street Fair at the same time
as the reunion, they insisted that his
objections were unreasonable.
Opposed by Gen. Harrison.
There was different phase of the sit
uation when General George P. Harrison
of Opelika, commandment the Alabama
Division telegraphed last night that the
Street Fair would he Objectionable to the
old soldiers, and appealed to the people
of Montgomery not to have a Street Fair
during the reunion.
This attitude of General Harrison caus-
ed the young soldiers to think over the
matter and the meeting tonight will de-
termine whether they will insist on the
same dates for the Street Fair as the
reunion.
When 1t became evident that conflict
was about to arise, The Advertiser sent
This telegram to General Harrison:
OWN a street fair I'm Montgomery dur
ing Confederate reunion be objection
able? Gen. w. C. Oates opposes street
fair and says will not have reunion here
of survivors of 18th Alabama If fair is
held at same time"
General Harrison replied as follows:

The Rumor Not Credited.

Washington, Sept. 3.--The rumored
death of the Emperor of Corea fails TO
find confirmation in any official quarter
here. The suggestion is thrown out that
a break probably has occurred through
the postponement of the celebration of
the Emperor's birthday and accession to
the throne. The Emperor was so years
of age on September s and he assumed
the throne on October II, 1897. He had
contemplated the celebration of the an
niversary OF these two events on the lat
ter day. October II, next, but the State
Department not long ago was advised
that this celebration had been postponed
for a year on account of the prevalence
OF cholera in Corea.

These amounts to about half q million

I'm the meantime national bank circa-

deposits and the further increase TO the
amount of eight millions Is assured.
"All rumors Of experiments have been
unauthorized by the Treasury Depart
ment 1t IL to be hoped that the public
will place no crsdence in vagar1es started
by irresponsible and untrusteA men OF

stand by the banks, East and West,

that the banks, will stand by every BUSH
ness and every one that Is worthy pro-
tecting.
"The only way to get money out of the
treasury into circulation after 1t has
been actually covered in. Is by the pay
ment of legal obligations from the gov

at this rate Of "a per cent per annum. IN
other words, these obligations will be pro-

There will be no experiments tried
and no policy adopted until after mature

VETERANS RAISE OBJECTION .
TO FAIR DURING REUNION

Confederate reunion he would withdraw
his call sent out to the survivors of the
| 18th Alabama Regiment to meet here dur.
ing the reunion.
The 18th Alabama Regiment was COM
| manded by General Oates during the wal
between the States and 1t was his pur.
pose to have a reunion of the survivors
| OF the regiment in Montgomery at the
same time as the reunion of the Alaba-
ma Division of Confederate Veterans
The survivors of General Oates's regi-
ment have not had a reunion in twenty
years and General Oates has been look
| ing forward to the gathering of his old
| comrades with no small degree of pleas
| ure.
OF the 1.64O soldiers of the 18th Alaba-
ma Regiment not more than 100 are living
and General Oates says it is his purpose
to have each of them in Montgomery at
the reunion If it is possible and If a
street fair is not held. If the reunion of
his old regiment is held here General
Oates will undertake to provide quarters
for those of his comrades who cannot
care for themselves.
I'm my opinion" said General Oates,
"a street fair during the reunion would
be highly objectiona ole to the old soldiers
and If IL is held I shall withdraw my
request for a reunion of the survivors of
the 18th Alabama Regiment. The veterans
assemble at these reunions to have a
quiet time and not to participate in noisy
demonstrations. Reunions have been him
dered in the past by the attendance OF
great crowds of young people whose
functions completely overshadow the old
soldiers. 1 hope the military compani IS
of Montgomery, which are promoting the
street fair, will change their dates ana
not interfere with the veterans"
The Montgomery True Blues and the
Montgomery Greys will hold joint meet
ing tonight in the Blues armory to de-
eide definitely their course in regard to
the proposed Street Fair to be held in
Montgomery from November 10 to No.
Vember Is.
Several prominent military men were
seen yesterday. They expressed the
opinion that the purpose for which they
intended giving a Fair were misunder-
stood by the veterans. The prevailing
opinion among them was that the selec-
ton OF the time of the Fair during the
Confederate reunion here was with the
idea Of giving the veterans additional
pleasure during their stay in the city,
rather than to lessen their interest in the
reunion.
An active canvass of the postoff1ce block
of Dexter Avenue was made and pc
ution to the City Council for use of
parts Of certain streets was prepared.
When the ideas advanced by General
Oates were heard on the subject, the
plans of the military men were to a de-
gree changed. A joint meeting was i'm
mediately called to hear the sentiment
of the members of the two companies in
regard II the matter.
The military men hold that the plans
which they have arranged will in no way
interfere with the reunion and will only
serve 10 amuse the crowd of younger
people who will be in Montgomery during
the meeting of the Alabama division.

SPRANG TO HER DEATH
GIRLS SEPARATION FROM Low
Err CAUSED DESPER.Al. LON.
Had Nearly Circled the Globe to Be
come His Bride and to Prevent
Being Deported She Com
mitted Suicide.

Detroit. Mich, Sept. 25.-Driven to des-
peration by the prospect Of being forever
| separated from her lover in the expecta-
| ton of marrying whom she had nearly
| circled the globe, Alexandra Joseph, a
young Syrian girl in a supreme effort to
escape from the United States immigrant
agent who was about to deport her,
threw herself from the window of a
--4chigan Central passenger train running
fifty miles an hour, today, and was in
stantly killed.
The Tragedy occurred two miles north
of Newport on the Toledo division of the
Michigan Central and was the culmina-
ton of years of effo . by Joseph Abodely
of Cedar Rapids. Iowa, to lead his old
world sweetheart to the altar. But when
he had saved enough money to pay the
girls passage to the United States and
she had come as far as Montreal, May IL,
the girl was refused admittance to the
United States on the charge that she was
afflicted with trachoma.
Abodely had the young lady's eyes
treated at the Montreal marine hospital
for three months. On August 10. how
ever, his funds having run low, he at
tempted TO run the gauntlet of the in
spectors at Detroit and was caught.
Both the young foreigners were detained
by the United States authorities at De-
troit and Abodely narrowly escaped i'm
prisonment for violating the immigration
laws, the sympathy of the officers being
aroused IN his favor so that he was
allowed to leave town.
From that time the girls fate hung in
the balance until today immigration
Agent Cameron Miller took her in Gus
today with a warrant from the Secretary
of the Treasury to have the girl oeported
to her home in Syria.
The officer had allowed his charge TO
go to the toilet room and a moment later
the door was opened, revealing an empty
room and an open window. The train
was run back and the young woman was
found dead beside the track

DISCUSSION IN PARIS.
France Will Join in Movement by
the Powers

Paris. Sept. 25.-Secretary Hays note
to the powers on the subject of Rouman-
las treatment of Jews, of which slight
notice was at first taken. under the i'm
preston that it would lead to nothing, is
now attracting more attention from the
French press and in official circles here.
It is practically certain that the French
Government will support a movement
among the powers to put pressure onRou-
mania in favor of better treatment of
the Jews, and it Is belived that Germany
will take a similar attitude.
While 1t is thought the United States
will thus be successful in stirring the
powers into seriously considering the
matter, and that circumstances may be
addressed to Roumania, not much hope is
expressed in practical and permanent eff
feet within Roumania from such action.
A semi official agency today circulated
the following announcement:
THE French Government has not yet
replied to Secretary Hays note. While
it is impossible to forecast NJ. Delcasse s
decision, the impression in diplomatic
circles is that while recognizing the high
motive which actuated Mr. Hay, NJ. Del
casse will not entirely agree with the
views advanced in the American note
