THE GOVERNOR INFORMED.
Wires Sheriff Moore That Troops
 May Be Used.

Governor Jelks was notified last night by sheriff Moore of Walker County that race riot was imminent twelve miles in the country from Jasper. Sherifi Moore's telegram further stated that he expected to call upon the Governor for troops to preserve order.
 Private Secretary Jackson immediately wired the Sheriff that he was authorized to call upon the commander of the Jas per company for assistance. A telegram was also sent to Capt. J. Fl. Bankhead of the Jasper Company, notifying him that he might expect a call for his com pany from Sheriff Moore.
 The Governors office was not advised of any of the details of the trouble. The message of Sheriff Moore simply stated that a race riot was imminent out in the country twelve miles from Jasper. There are A number of mining communities in Walker County. and it Is supposed that trouble between the blacks and whites arose at some of these mines.
 Following are the telegrams that Pri- vste Secretary Jackson sent to Sheriff Moore and Captain Bankhead of the Jas per company upon receipt of the Sherin $ telegram that trouble was imminent: J. s. Moore. Sheriff of Walker County.

A COTTON TRUST.
Combination of Four Companies
 Could Control Trade

New York, March o6.--A special to The Wall Street Journal from Boston says:
 The combination of the four existing cotton companies would quite dominate the cotton field as a whole. It would at once draw to 1t all the additional sup port required, whether Of capital or of practical management in ginning crush ing. fertilizing manufacture. cattle feed ing etc. and the manufacture Of cotton. Clearly this would include also the very best of the ability and experience now engaged in marketing cotton by the old methods as we'll as the utilization Of all the valuable properties so employed.
 As regards capital requirements, the s100, GOO O0O capitalization of the four com psnies Is, for the present. sufficient for a free working and development along all lines except the handling of cotton under the improved method. An addition

WAR REVENUE REPEAL.
Chairman Payne Explains Reasons
 For Non- -Concurring.

1or Noh-VoucufTlnB
 New Orleans. March 2SA special to The Times-Democrat from Washington says:
 The refusal of the House to concur in the Senate amendments to the war reve- Iue repeal bill and the appointment of conferees does not mean that there will be any serious friction in reaching an agreement about that measure. Chair man Payne of the Ways ard Means Com m'ttee sad tonight:
 'I insisted upon non-conctrrence. be- cause the Senate Ffnan,e Committee made some minor amendments affecting merely the form of expression, in which I think the original language as reported by tine Ways and Means Committee is preferable. Then. too, we wish to talk over with the Senatorial conferees their amendment retaining the tax on bucket shops. There is objection on the part of the House to that tax; but we would like to have the amendment so worded that it will not affect the business of legitimate brokers.
 As to the tobacco schedule. the asser- ton has been made that its effect. as 1t passed the House, would be to reduce the internal tax or manufactured tobacco about 20 per cent. below what it was be- fore the war revenue bill was enacted, whereas the purpose was merely to re- store the old rates. l dispute that propo- sition, and I wish an opportunity to de- monstrate that it is erroneous. Never theless, 1t may he that the language of the Senate tobacco section is clearer and more explicit. ] look for no great diff culty in reaching an agreement in con- ference
 Moreover. I think that the reduction in revenue will not be as large as has been represented. My first calculation was that the reduction would amount to about s15.000,0o0 But there was an error in that calculation. caused by abnormal increase in the wholesale beer traffic, due to a change in the tax per barrel I see that Senator Aldrich estimates the reduction of revenue at about s73. .00o. LOO. l think now that 1t will not much exceed S70,000000.''
 Mir. Payne was asked his opinion. as the Republican leader on the floor. of the prospects of the Frye shipping bill in the House.
 1T am not yet prepared to say" was hts cautious rey4y. '''fhe truth Is that there has been no systematic effort as yet to ascertain the strength of the op- position. l am not aware that the Re- publican Senators who voted against the bin have made any attempt to influence the delegations from those States in the House. Mir. Littlefield. who will have charge of the bill, has been away. He has just returned to Washington, and 1 know that he has not analysed the situa- tion. The bill has not been considered in committee and 1 doubt if half the mem bers of the House have acquainted them selves with it's provisions. You see. the Cuban question has absorbed our atten- ton quite thoroughly at this end of the Capitol"
 Mir. Payne's hesitancy in making any prediction as to the shipping bill is typi- cal of the general feeling among the Re- publican members of the House.

THE RECIPROCITY sITUATIoN.
A Special Message from ths Presi
 dent Not Expected.

New Orleans. March 2s--A special to The Times Democrat from Washington says:
 There is no likelihood whatever of a special message from the Preeident on the Cuban situation. The advice Of the Cabinet Is strongly against such course now, on the ground that the fresidents 6 position and wiehes are aFeaAy known that there is still hope of working out as good . result without message as could be hoped for with one
 The latest turn siyss to me ,,na nssoasc aso the proteetionists in the House is the consideration of a reduction in the dif- ferential duties on refined s,iaars or their total abolition. The purpose of this plan footing as the beet sugar contingent. and thus do away with the argument raised that the proposed reciprocity scheme means added profit for the trust, and damage to the srowsrs ,r. vails as to the Cuban prohiein. Repre- sentative Tawney of MinfteFcta, pro- tectionist leader, denied the report that there was any alliance or relation be- tween the beet sugar cause and the ship, ping subsidy interests. It was reported that the friends of the subsidy bill. fear ing that any concessions on Deef sugar would turn Western Republicans into an attitude of open arltagonism to the subsidy bill, were quietly bringing tnfiu- ence to bear in behalf of what the Vest crn Republicans want. Mir. Tawney says that such efforts would be fruatiess. as the beet men stand squareiy on protec- ton doctrines. They would look with Ia vor however. upon compromise which would involve a removal sf the diner- ential duty on refined sugar in order, as he says. that they might show their constituents that the n1anufacturing m terests of the East had contributed some thing, as well as the Western farmers. to the relief of Cuba.
 MT. Russell of Connecticut, member of the Wave and Means Committee, said that the differential Is merely protection on an American industry. which fs need- ed, whether for the sugar trust or not.
 Two reports set n circulation today were denied on the highest authority; to decline the Presidency of tho Cuban republic unless the sugar question can he settled to suit him. The other is that General Wood has prophesied a popular revolution in Cuba unless the reciprocity program goes through.

REACHING AN AoRI1lfrNT.
Republicans Will Report Reciprocity
 proposition.

Washington. March 26-The statement was made this afternoon in . quarter having unusual facilities for knowine the facts, that the Cuban reciprocity measure. as agreed upon by the recent Republican conference, would nave enough Republican votes In the Weys and Means Committee to assure its being reported without the assistance Of any Democratic votes, This Is directly con- trary to the generally understood ,situa. tion in the committee. but the source of the information Is such as to warrant the belief that the bill will be reported py Republican voters.
 As result of numerous conferences today among Republican leaders Of the House, the advocates of Cuban reciproc- ity became confident late in the day that the measure would he reported from the Ways and Means Committee by Repubif- can votes, without reliance on Demo- cratic votes and without amendment. In view of the changed condition. Chairman Payne has under consideration the advis- ability of calling a special meeting of the Ways and Means Committee the latter part of this week instead of waiting until the regular meeting day next Wednesday to pass on the Cuban bill.

CHARGES OF CORRUPTION
 2 .,eged That Senators Were Bought. TREATY WITH DENMARK Investigation Will Be Asked
 by the Democrats. For Some Time the Story Has Been
 Circulating in Copenhagen and Secretary Hay Failed to Notice It.
TREATY WITH DENMARK

Washington, March 2s.--tspeciai) )-Rep- resentative Richardson of Tennessee the Democratic leader of the House. tried to introduce resolution today calling for an investigation of the charges lately made in Denmark to the effect that United States Senators had been bribcd to purchase the Danish West Indies Speak CT Henderson refused to recognize him. The resolution will very likely be intro- duced tomorrow.
 Captain Christmas. the Danish. agent who negotiated with this country for the sale of the islands made a confidential report to Danish Cabinet ministers. it is said, in which he stated that he had been forced to spend $500, 900 with United States Senators before his mission could be ac- compllshcd. The ministers resigned and made the story public Dani h newspa- pers have been publishing it since Feb ruary 10.
 As the treaty with Denmark was not signed until February +, Democrats want to ascertain if Secretary Hay knew of the charges of corruption circulating In Denmark, and, if he did, why he allowed the trade to go through without an in- vestigation, or. at least some mention of 1t.
 The Danish Government has not yet ratified the sale. and 1t may be the Dem ocrats will call on the P es dent to ask Denmark not to ratify it untk an~inves- tigation is made. Leon Gorna. the first agent appointed by Denmark to nego- tiate the sale, is in Washington and has confirmed the reports of the bribery charges which are circulating in Copen- hagen

The Withdrawal from Cuba.

It is understood that President Roose- welt, within a day or two. will send D special message to Congress annonrc- ing the forthcoming inauguration of the new Cuban Government on May 20 and the withdrawal of United States forces from the island
 It will suggest the enactment of legisla- ton necessary to the establishment of diplomatic relations with the new repub- lie by the location of a United States legation in Havana, the appointment of a minister, consuls. and other officials.
 The President will take occs sion in his message to call the attention of Congress again to the importance of reciprocal commercial relations between the United States and Cuba.
 It is the present underst nding that Gonzales de Quesada will be the first minister from Cuba to the United States. He accompanied President Palma from New York to Washington on his recent visit, and was a party to conferences that took place at the White House and the War Department respecting the ar for the evacuation of Cuba.
 Senor Quesada first came to Washing ton as Secretary to the Cuban Junta, headed by Estrada Palma. during the early days of the last Cuban rebellion against Spain and was very active In the interest of the insurrectionary gov ernment.

RUMOR OF SHUT DOWN.
Coal Creek Miners Fear Trouble for
Future,

There is well founded rumor to
the effect that on the 9th inst. the
mines at Coal Creek willbe closed for
repairs, and that the improvements
contemplated will be on an extensive
scale It is stated that a new electric
plant will be installed and that IA new
tipple will be placed much higher
than the one now in use
There are also rumors among the
miners that the @. f. & l. company
proposes to take advantage of this
shut down to dictate new terms to its
employees, and should this he done Il
strike will undoubtedly follow. The
miners claim they are already bound
down to the last notch, and that it
will be impossible To make single
further concession to the company.
Inquiry at the company's mine
office elected only denial that any
changes Of any kind are contemplated
The miners however have hunch that
there is something in the wind.
