 Mir Goldsmith of Lowndes secured unanimous consent and had passed l\- cal bill repeating the road law of Lowndes County.
 Mir James of Franklin moved to take from the adverse calendar his bill making checks for labor transferable. He argued that the non- transferable checks worked a great hardship upon the laboring men The companies. he said, would purchase checks at a great discount some times lower than 30 cents on the dollar when at the same time outsiders would be will ing to pay e5 cents on the dollar.
 MT. James's motion prevailed and the bill was taken from the adverse calendar by the close vote of B to 4. The House Immediately resolved itself into the Com mjttee of the Whole to consider the b.ll
 MT. Rich of Mobile said the Judiciary ronmittee had carefully considered the bill and advtrsed it. The Committee was largely influenced in this actin by the ppinion of Judge George Gray who de- ciared that the non-transferable checks were hest for the working man.
 Mir. Benners nf Jefferson opposed the hill He had been fortunate enough. he raid. to hear the entire evidence in the recent arbitration at Birmingham. It was shown that the miners had heen made victims by spectators and by some pf the companies who had bought their ,wn checks at a discount.

CONDITION Cr MRS. JAWS -SY Doctors Say $lat It is lJnch syed. THE ANXIETY IS GREAT Age of the Patient Militates
 Against Recovery. Ms Hayes of Colorado Springs, . Daughter of Mrs Davis, Arrives
 and is Recognized by her
 Mother.

| Buffalo. N. F.. Sept. 26.-"Mrs. Daviss condition remains unchanged was the report that came from the bedside of Mrs. Jefferson Davis at Castle Inn tonight. Owing to the advanced age of the patient and the failure of her organs to yield to the treatment of the physicians in attendance. every hour that passes adds to the anxiety of her friends here and the relatives who have hastened to her bedside .
 Mrs. J. A. Hayes of Colorado Springs. a dauehter of Mir. Davis, arrived here to- night. Miss L. T. W. Hayes, a daughter of Mrs. Hayes. came to Buffalo with Mrs. Davis from the Humberstone Club on the northern shore of Lake Erie and has been in almost constant attend ance upon her grandmother since she became i'll
 Mrs. Davis Is conscious although very weak. She recognized her daughter the moment she entered the room and greeted her with loving words.
 Four of the leading physicians of the city held a consultation at Castle Inn this afternoon. Dr. Stockton, the regular hotel physician, realizing the seriousness of the case has called into consultation pr. R. c. Park, the surgeon who as- sisted in the surgical operation on Presi- dent Mckinley, and Doctors Jones and Carey. tsf ,
 The four physicians spent two hours in the sick room this afternoon. No opera tion has been performed on Mrs. Davis and it is doubtful whether her system could withstand the shock of the opera tion that would be necessary to relieve her sickness.
 At 12 o'clock tonight Dr. Stockton made the following encouragement: Mrs. Da- vis's condition Is unchanged. Drs R. D. Park. Charles Carey. Allen Jones and my self held consultation this afternoon It was decided to continue the treatment which has been followed since the begin- ming of Mrs. Davis's illness.

cUMMrNs BEGINS CAMPAIGN
Thinks Roosevelt Highest Type oi
 Citizenship.

Des Moines. Ia, Sept Ex-Governor A B. Cummins opened the Iowa Republican campaign tonight before 20O0 persons
 Governor Cummins said that he hoped that the outcome of the election this fall would demonstrate to the nation that there were 100000 more men in Iowa who believed in the principles of pro- lection than believed in free trade. who believed that the Republican way of deal ing with trust evils was better than the Democratic way, and who believed that President Roosevelt represented the highest type of American citizenship.
 The Governor devoted his time to the principles of protection as opposed to the doctrine of tariff for revenue only which he defined as free trade. He predicted that reciprocity would become the most considered of all public questions within the next quarter of a century.

MEMBERS NOT PROMINENT
Only Hilmi Pasha is a Person
 of Influence.
The Report That the captor of Miss Stone, Captain Tcherno-
 peff, Has Been Killed, is
 Declared Untrue.

Sofia, Sept 26.-The personnel of the Sultan's new Macedonian commission is alleged u be an indication of the irsIn. cerity of the Porte's intentions.
 The Bulgarian representative, Nikola Rebeff, member of the Court of Justice at Monaetir, is 80 years of age and has been for many years an official of the Turkish Government. With the exception of Hilmi Pasha. Inspector General, who is President of the commission. none of the others has any prominence or infiuecne.
 The fact that the Bulgarian population of Macedonia is given only one represen- tative Is held to show that the Porte has not accepted the demands made by the Sofia Government.
 Negotiations between the Porte and Sofia are reported to be still proceeding. but the situation appears to remain un- changed.
 In view of the fact that the powers de- cided to answer the Bulgarian note. 1t Is doubtful if next weeks meeting between the Czar and Emperor Francis Joseph will cause any material change of policy.
 The report that Captain Tchernopeff, captor of Miss Ellen M. Stone, had been killed Is untrue
 The Macedonian committees have plan ned an imposing demonstration for to- morrow. There will he areduiem mass at the Cathedral. followed by a procession through the streets, carrying black ban ners and portraits of the Macedonian leaders who have been killed during the insurrection.

Strict Precautions No Longer Taken
 in Havana.

Washington. Sept. 26.-Dr. Joseph F.. Porter sanitary inspector of the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service wflo Is located at Key West. Fla. has recently made a professional tour of a part of Cuba. The mines at Daiquiri were his objective point and while he reports that there Is no ground for the apprehension that was felt in the United States on ac- count of sickness there. he does not make an entirely favorable report on conditions in Havana. On that subject he says:
 "I looked over the district pretty thoroughly and regret to state that the sanitation is not up to the mark of a year ago.
 'In talking to pr. Trotter find that he too is convinced that thare has been a falling of in sanitary requirements from the year previous Along the Prado and outside of tn old walls a better system seems to prevail. The cases of yellow fever introduced from Mexico were we'll handled. especially the eases which de- veloped ashore after two or three days from landing. There was no spread, and l am told from reliable sources that a crusade will be made in the entire block against mosquitoes and possible infection therefrom.
 There is no good reason why quaran- tine restrictions for yellow fever should be continued by any intelligent commu- nity against Havana or Cuba outside of Havana"

State of Affairs Uncertain.

Washington. Sept. 26.-With withdrawal of the American war ships from Beirut seems unlikely for the present in view of a cablegram received at the State De. partment today from Minister Leishman at Constantinople. stating that although his advices from Beirut indicate that while the situation Is quiet just now, nothing like permanent order has been es- tablished.
 Mir. Lelshman says the state of affair there yet may be regarded as uncertain.
 It is Indicated iIl MT LesEGhn7zu'n eas hiexrafsi that lie departure of he warships might be the occasion of the renewal oi the riots This confirms the opinion held here by the State Department officials that quiet at Beirut Is due directly to the prsence of American warships off that port.

BALANCES TO CREDIT OF FUNDS.
The Raparia Line.

The arrival of party of suvey-
ors ON the old o. r. & N. survey
between Lewiston and Raparia has
started the report that the COM
pany would begin construction
work again in the near future.
While it is hoped this is true there
are other reasons for the survey
being made and the people of the
Clearwater country will not be in
formed further than that the COM
pany still values the right of way
and sometime in the dark and
mystic future expect to occupy it.
The Oregonian of last Friday
says:
THE O. r. & N. has evidently
not given up the idea Of building
the proposed extension of its line
from Raparia to Lewiston, Idaho,
as is indicated by the precautions
being taken against the possibility
of loosing any rights of way along
the propose route. A party of
Surveyors has just completed the
work of running over the line for
the express purpose of holding a
way for the road should it be de-
sired to commence work.
About two weeks ago party of
surveyors was sent out by the rail-
road company to this city. They
have spent two weeks going over
the route as determined by pre-
vious surveys, and making re-
survey of the line.
The fight between the Northern
Pacific and the O. K. 4 n. for the
right of way between Riparia and
Lewiston is well known. 1t was
to prevent portions of it's route be-
ing seized upon by the opposition
road that the o. r. & n. had the
survey made. A survey will not
hold route longer than five years,
and as there were some places
along the O. X. & N. line that had
not been gone over in almost that
time, it became necessary to have
the work done to prevent the
Northern Pacific people from
Selling these rights.
An official of the road stated
Yesterday that the survey was not
an indication that construction
work was going to be done any
time soon, nor that it is contem-
plated. However, there have
been persistent rumors that some
thing was going to be done in that
section and any move on the part
of the railroad causes a stir among
those affected by the proposed ex-
tension.
