The assertion Is made that a prominent friend of the administration leaders in this State is a candidate for the office at Ensley. July the oltoe at Ensley becomes a second class postoff1ce and the President will have app ointirg power. Lawler has some strong friends who are doing everything in their power to retain him in his position. Lawler is considered friend to the Lily White" Republican element. The citizens of Ems ley do not make any charges of a orim- inal nature against Postmaster Lawler.

Birmingham. June 23.-(special., ,-Tbe joint Scale Committee of the miners and operators, eight men to the side, formal ly organized this morning and took up the two scales presented yesterday. one bv each side. Colonei R. H. Pearson. of the operators, was selected as Chairman of the Committee. with J. H. Orange, of the miners, as Secretary. Then the dis cussfon as to common scale was start ed on. At noon it was announced that no conclusions had been arrived at and the indications were not so favorable for an early settlement on scale. The discus sions in the committee were on the sell ing prices of iron and coal. The miners contend that these prices are sufficient to warrant an advance in wages being given the miners. There was counter argument on the part of the operators. The Con- mtttee will make no statements until they are ready to report to the conference, which adjourned shortly after 10 o'clock, to meet again in the morning at 10 O clock. Tho indications are that the conference will be called together and then adjourn until Monday, June 9s. The present scale VIII continue in full operation until the S0th inst By Monday it is believed that the Joint Scale Committee will have had eme to finally conclude whether a new scale can be made up or to disagree. This will be saving of something like g, 200 to the miners as 1t is costing more than $500 day for the convention and an ad- Journment would be saving of nearly two- thirds of this.
 The miners and operators appear to be in good humor though an inward feeling Is that there will be a suspension of work after July l. The miners who are mem- hers of the miners side of the Commit tee, make no statements whatsoever as to the prospects, while the operators say they are hoping against a suspension of work at the mines.

bill debate which opened in the house

nation, although there was fairly
large attendance in the galleries. The
rule under which the house was to op-
crate, however, precipitated a lively
discussion. The Democrats protected
vigorously against the rule for consid-

replied that they were willing to ac-

Underwriting Syndicate Now Embraced

San Francisco, Feb. 6.-The Chroni-
Gle says the New York banking house
of Brown Bros. closed an account with
the underwriting syndicate of local
and eastern capitalists, which was Or
ganized last year. to facilitate the puE-
chase and consolidation of several San
Francisco street railway properties
now embraced in the United Railroads
system Bonds and cash balances due
members of the underwriting syndi-
cate were delivered at New York on
Monday, and local subscribers who
asked that their bonds be sent them to
this city will receive securities later.
This final accounting ard settlement
by the syndicate managers closes up
all affairs of the underwriting syndi
Gates, and is the closing transaction in
a large $27 ,000, 600 deal by which near
1y all the street railway properties in
San Francisco acquired from the for
mer owners and consolidated in the
system now known as the United Rail-
oads of San Francisco.
