OF MINOR IMPORTANCE.
No Trouble Will Occur Over Seizure
 of Islands.

Newport, R. l., Sept. 1.-The British Charge d'Affaires, Mir. Raikes. when seen heer today expressed the opinion that the incident growing out of the seizure of the islands off the coast of British North Borneo by the United States gum boat Iroquois, was of minor importance, and one that would be amicably settled.
 He stated that he was not in a position to divulge the exact nature of the rep resentations made to the Washington Government as the affair was a matter of state As he understood the question it concerned a couple of small islands of the coast of Borneo. which had been made a resort by pirates. For the pro- teRtion of it's commerce Great Britain had driven off these robbers of the sea and then policed the islands against their reoccupation by the outlaws.
 The Charge suggested that perhaps the United States would decide to police these islands herself and that perhaps this country could do it as we'll as her own.

 Our business relations with MT. Scheble ceased two years ago when he. was given the contract for furnishing the govern ment with mail boxes Of hiscown design. Before that time Mir. Scheble was inter- ested with us and. for a period of one year. beginning six years ago, we r,anu- factured box which he originated, and which was sAaccepted by the soverninent. Finally the Postoffice Department went back to the boxes which were formerly in use and two years ago, when MT. Schebie secured the contract @our reia- tions with him terminated. There was nothing underhanded in our deal with the government in the matter of mail boxes, and the fact that Mfr. schebie was once associated with us, has nothing to do with his present position. neither are there any grounds on which the Postoffice Department could connect us with the matter"

FELL NEAR BUZZ SAW
NARROW ESCAPE OF A WORK MAN STRICKEN WITH
 VERTIGO.
Interesting History of a Man who Has Been Near Death Many Times-Made c Prisoner at
 Battle of Cedar Creek.

While operating a buzz-saw in a mal- leable iron foundry at Troy, Henry Sim' pms was suddenly stricken with vertigo and fell almost upon the swiftly revolv- Ing saw. But the same good fortune that carried him unwounded through four years of active service during the Civil War again preserved his life. The sud- den illness which brought him so near an awful death was the direct result of his war experience, as MT. Simons stated to a reporter who called at his comfort able home at No. Linden Avenue, Troy, N. Y.
 Ever since the campaign of New Or leans in 1S6l," he said, "I have been af- fiicted with malaria and frequent attacks of acute gastritis, brought on by the con- stant exposure and the malarial atmos- phefe Of the bayou country. At times l was subject to attacks of vertigo and 1t was seizure of this kind that so nearly ended my life.
 For over thirty years I employed the best physicians. but they were unable to give me any permanent relief. l was bilious and suffered from palpitation of the heart, belching of wind and an acute pain in the small of my back. I was in a weakened condition generally and my ap- petite was fickle.
 "One day I saw Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People mentioned in a local newspaper and decided to try them. Be- fore I had finished the first box l noticed that my appetite had improved and that was much stronger. That also marked the end of the attacks of extreme vertigo. I kept on taking the pills and my recov. cry from that time was gradual, Dut steady. I have recommended pr. Wn- Hams Pink Pills to number of people, and am glad to endorse the remedy that has done so much for me-"
 Mir inn ie member of the GranQ Army of the Republic and served in Com pany H, 18th Connecticut Volunteer in- fantry. He was one of 1900 prisoners taken by the Confederates at the battle of Cedar Creek, during the campaign in the Shenandoah Valley, made famous by , Shcridan's ride. He was taken to Libby prison, where he was confined for months before being exchanged.
 Hundreds of Civil War veterans, both Union and Confederate, whose health was broken by hardships in the army, as well as hundreds of others run down by overwork, worry or excesses of some sort. owe their lives and happiness to Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on the blood and nerves, these pills have cured many stubborn cases of nervousness, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, rheu- matism, sciatica and all forms of weak ness, whether in male or female. If you are sick you owe 1t to yourself to give them a trial But remember that you cannot try Dr. Williams Pink Pills by taking something else' which may be offered as substitute. Be sure tha, every box you buy bears the full name. Sold by all dealers in medicines. or sent postpaid at fifty cents per box, six boxes for two dollars and fifty cents, by the pr.

DaURY HOLDS THE PRISONER
Axmy Officer Sets Police at ps.
 6ance.

Pittsburg. Sept, n.-No decision has been reached in the dispute between the city police officials and Lieutenant Drury, commandant at the United States arsenal, over the custody of the sentry who shot and killed William Crowley yesterday, for the alleged theft of copper from the barracks roof.
 Lieutenant Drury still refuses to turn the man over to the civil authorities He says he will not surrender him or give his name until he receives orders to do so from his superior oflcer. Major General Chaffee was acquainted with the facts briefly after the shooting and Command ant Drury is awaiting instructions.
 Police Superintendent McTighe, threat enes to take action against the lieuten- ant.
 In statement issued today the coroner says if it should develop that Crowley met his death at the hands of a sentry on active duty in the military service of the United States and in the line of his duty, 1t seems to be clear that his duty would be to remand him to the custody of the United States. If the United States au- thorities deem 1t proper they may then turn the prisoner over to the county ofi- cers for trial.

es@s@s~S@A~s@I

Greater Birmingham, for the present an imaginary corporation, met last night through the representatives of its vari- ous clements in the Senate Chamber and buried all differences.
 A plan of action satisfac actory to all par ties was agreed upon and love feast followed.
 The basis of the agreement was that all incorporated towns adjacent to Bir- mingham should have the right to say in an election whether they wanted to become a part of Greater Birmingham. A bill embodying all the features of the agreement will be drawn up and there is but little doubt that it will pass both Houses with ease.
 Birmingham has had a bill before the Legislature for the annexation of all the outlying suburbs. It is the same fight Montgomery had last winter, only, per haps, it is a little more bitter. The seven House members and the Senator from Jefferson have been besieged with opposing delegations.
 A meting was arranged last night in the Senate Chamber at which all con- fiicting interests were represented. Over the meting F. M. Jackson, President of the Commercial Club of Birmingham pre- sided. The Jefferson County delegation were the guests of honor at the meeting They occupied prominent seats and list ened with interest to all the speeches made. Mayor w. M. Drenen of Birm- ingham, was conspicuous among the spectators. but he made no speech Bir- mingham's attitude was outlined by City Attorney Ed Smith.
 Speeches were made by Mayor Starbuck of Avondale, Mayor Burrus of Woodlawn, Mayor Cole of North Birmingham, City Attorney Martin of East Lake, and C.. B. Bowles of West End. The burden of these speeches was that the incorporated towns should vote on the question of a,- nexation.
 A resolution was finally adopted pledg- ing all concerned to bill which would

 While the Senators were yesterday dis cussing the soldiers pension amcndment. Senator Powell of Butler framed bill. which in his opinion. will give the veterans the increased appropriation and yet not oyertax the State treasury. Senator Powelfs measure provides that it shall be the duty of each Judge of Probate to draw a warrant on the. coun- ty treasurer in favor of each one or the pensioners in his county named in State warrants for an amount equal to one third of the amount named in the State warrant. In short the bill provides that the veterans shall receive $5o.000 from the State and third as much from their respective counties. He Is of the opinion that this is in all probability the only way to avoid committee on conference and loss of the valuable time of both houses.
 Inferior court bills to displace Justices of the peace still occupy positions on the list of introduced bills in the Senate. Senator Wolff of Marengo yesterday in- troduced a measure providing for an in- ferior court for Demopolis.
