tor group of five mines. We congrat-
ulate the colonel on the success Of his
company. and with such mines as he
has secured we feel sure the Astor
Mining company will soon be classed
among our dividend paying companies.
Their veins are certainly among the
best in the county, and only need de-
velopment to put them on a paying
basis. He has just awarded contracts
for extending the Toltec tunnel 500

GOES TO OLD ENGLAND
BRIToNS WIN THE DAVIS
 TENNIS TROPHY.
One Game at Last Found in Which Those from Across the Water Can Excel the Amer
 jeans.

Boston, Aug. S.-The international ten his trophy presented three years ago by Joseph Dwight Davis, of this country, goes to England through the united efforts of R. F. and H. L. Doherty who clinched their hold on the emblem by winning both matches in single today and scoring in the entire contest four out of the total of five points. Each of the two contests today went full five sets H. L. Doher ty. the British champion. defeating Will liam A. Larned, the American champion, 6-3, 6-S. 60, 2-6, 7-5, while his brother dis posed of R. D. Wrenn, a former Ameri- can champion by score of GA. S-6. 6-3, 6-S. 6-4.
 Both matches were played on adjoining courts and the 5000 tennis enthusiasts who surrounded the enclosure probably saw the finest exhibition of tennis in the his tory of the game. From the very start the excitement was intense, and after each match had been squared at the end of four sets every one was fairly on tip toe, until H. l.. Doherty won q long deuce set, his match, and the necessary three points to obtain possession of the cup. Still the crowd fingered to see the American favorite. R. D. Wrenn. finish his contest with the elder of the brothers. At one time 1t looked as though the form CT might possibly pull out winner, but Doherty's brilliancy proved too much for Wrenn's resources.
 H. l. DohertyS marvellous ablllty to cover court undoubtedly won him the match with Larned although to sthe minds of many an unfortunate decision at a critical stage in the last set was the cause of the latter's failure. With the games four all in this last set and Larned with one point of the ninth game. there came a question on Doherty's second serve. The linesnlan failed to call and Larned thinking it a double fault, started to change courts in the belief that the game was his. The referee decided that the point must be played over again. This took the snap out of Larned's game at difficulty in winning
 The match between R. F. Doherty and R. D. Wrenn was more hotly fought than the one in the adjoSning court. many Of the games reaching deuce and the rallies being long and brilliant.
 Both players were extremely careful and their resourcefulness made the match play interesting. Wrenn found that Doherty could handle his high lobs with masterly skill, while the Englishman was surprised at the way in which Wrenn covered his court.
 In the three days covering the contest for the cup the Americans scored only one point and that was on default by R. F. Doherty, caused by his acident. The cup will be placed in custody of the Eng fish Lawn Tennis Association and 1t is quite probable that an American team will go to England next year and make every effort to regain 1t.

FEARS OF TROUBLE
MACEDONIAN OUTBREAK MAY
 BECOME SERIOUS.
Insurgents Appear to Be in Strong CT Position Than Here Be- fore Shows Will
 End It All.

Vienna, Aug S.-The government is still without definite news regarding Macedo- mia, but the opinion in usually we'll in- formed quarters is that grave events are liable to develop from the present disturb ances before the snows come and drive the insurgents from the mountains.
 The renewal of the outbreaks was ex- pected to take place later in the month. but the revolutionary committee antici- pated the proposed date by three weeks apparently hoping thereby to catch the Turks mapping. The insurgents appear to be in some respects in more favora- ble position at the present moment than heretofore. They are well armed and are said to have sufficient money to prose- cute vigorous campaign until the win ter and to resume the fighting in the spring. On the other hand the Turkish troops have been five months in the field and se'e further disheartened by not hav- ing received any pay.
 1ney are reported to be deserting in in- creasing numbers.
 The strong Ottoman endorsements which have been ordered into the field may suffice to crush the movement be- fore 1t attains the dimensions threatened by the insurgent leaders.
 It Is thought here that the position of the Macedonians has been greatly strengthened by the simultaneous disturb ances in Armenia. as 1t is considered that the later movement is more likely ito attract sympathy from Europe and lead to a consideration of the whole situation in the Turkish Empire. One of the most prominent figures in the Balkan situation is Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria. upon whose attitude at the present juncture peace or war is believed to largely de- pend. If he elects to continue the policy desired by the powers the disturbances may be confined to a few skirmishes and dynamite outrages and a Turko-Bulga- rian war may be averted this year at any rate. At the same time 1t is recognized that the increasing pressure of the rev. olutionary committees may force him to take action.
 King Peter of Servia is new and un- known factor in the situation. but in view of his age, reputation for prudence and his friendship for Austria, 1t is thought unlikely that he will take any step to add to the existing complications.

TROOP BEFORE COURT
CAPTAIN oARsIDE TEsTIFIEs AS
 TO CAVALRY TROUBLE.
Lieutenant Dexter is Charged With Inciting Men to Mutiny and Com mander is Charged With Un-
 solidierly Conduct.

 Capt w. o. Garside. commanding the troop was the first and only witness.
 The court took up the charges made by Cap tain Garside against Lieutenant Charles E Dexter. In these charges it is alleged that Lieuteifant Dexter was guilty of mutinon. con uuct and of melting the, men of the command 10 mutinous conduct in asking the captain to resign Lieutenant Dexter is also charged with standardization in presenting round robin 70 captain Garside asking for his resignation
 There are various specifications in ths charges against Lieutenant Dexter all alleR- sng insubordination and violation of the miIi- tary laws of Alabama
 Charges of conduct unbecoming an officer nave been filed against Captain Garside by Lieutenant Dexter and a number of the men or the troop. The charges against Captain Garside have not yet been taken up
 The court held its sitting in the tent of Major c. R. Bricken The other members of the court are Judge Advocate E. F. Baber Capt D. B. Mckenzie. Capt w A. Collier Capt B. c. Wilson and Capt. W. B. Craig
 Attorneys have been retained by both Captain carside and Lieutenant Dexter to look after sheir interests before the court.
 The charges against Lieutenant Dexter were read by Judge Advocate Baber. Pat Me- Gauly was present to make an official report of the proceedings
 Captain Baber moved that he be allowed to amend the charges and specifications This was fought by the attorneys for the defense They complained of the injustice of bringing additional charges at such a late time All the attorneys spoke on the question
 The motion of the Judge Advocate was over ruled by the court.
 The defense questioned the legality and con- etitutionality of the court to try the case It alleged that the defendant was being tried for violation of the Articles of War. It was contended by the court that the defendant could nos violate the Articles Of War unless the com pany was in active service. It was further contended that the company was not in active service at the time of the alleged offense.
 This last contention of the defense was sus- tained by the court, but it ruled that the de- fendant was being tried under State law and that the trial would proceed.
 Captain Garside went on the stand and re- counted the incidents of the dissension in Troop A.
 At the conclusion of Captain Garsides tes- tiinony the court adjourned to meet Monday night. The members of the court and the witnesses suffered greatly from the heat For this reason the hour for the sittings of the court changed
 About 25 members of Troop A who had been summoned witnesses were at camp during the day,

H. Y. BROOKE SENT IT
LUvERNE EDITOR ADMITS FIL-
 ING TELEGRAM.
Says He Wired Justice J. c. Mo Lendon to Burn His Docket So ss to Aid Examiner
 Rutledge.

H. Fl, Brooke of Luverne, Editor of The Crenshaw County Critic. who was in Montgomery yesterday, admitted that he sent the mysterious telegram from sprague Junction last Monday to J. c. McLendon of Luverne. The telegram was published in The Advertiser yester- day morning.
 In an interview Mir Brooke said:
 T did not send the telegram that ap- peRred in The Advertiser today. I did send telegram from Sprague Junction thus: q
 "Burn docket Charlie'
 The reason for so doing was the in- formation I had that the docket of J. c. McLendon was being tempered with. and that the telegram would cause the call ing of a caucus and thus delay the game until the Examiner could get hold of the docket
 T came to Montgomery Monday on freight train to inform the Governor of the tampering, and learned that the Elk aminer was on the down train, and when the train reached Sprague Junction, I sent the telegram for the purpose of stop ping the alterations and giving the Ex- aminer time to get hold of the docket. That this had the desired effect is shown by the fact that alterations have been made on 1t in more than one case. which has been fully investigated by both the
 
 Since neither has as yet made his re- port I am bound to secrecy until said reports are made. I have in my posses sion ample proof of this charge.
 Tn one instance the docket of the Jus tice of the Peace showed no entry against John Taylor yet he was hired out under a contract recorded in the criminal con tract record for $5 and $22 30 costs. In the Sheriff's office is a mittimus for this negro endorsed. Fine $5.' and costs amounting to N.
 Sam Hazard, the negro fined s1 and $42 has charge of $16.S4 Sheriff's removal fee, when in fact the Sheriffs record does not show that he was ever arrested, and the facts are that he was drawn up into contract for a civil transaction fen- tireiy.
 If have violated any law by sending the telegram I am ready to plead guilty. I went this morning to the Sheriff's office and asked for the writ, and none was there.
 When the Examiners report is made the people will be able to learn the true facts of all the illegal Jurisdiction exer- cised in Crenshaw.
 There is not a warrant or a scrap of paper in existence in any of thetcases The Critic exposed. or if they are in existence they have not been found"
 Examiner T. J. Rutledge did not file his report on examination of Mir. McLendon's 8 office with Governor Jelks yesterday as was expected.
