Iron Colossus.

''The colossus of Birmingham iron will be a fine work of art and will be a credit to Birmingham for all time to come. Vulcan represents the genius of the Ib- eral arts, and is especially the patron of the workers in metals. The figure is, therefore. extremely appropriate. It will be one of the permanent attractions of the metropolis, and may prove to be the first of long line of splendid works of art which will ultimately decorate the parks and public places of Birmingham.

Presidential Question.

MT. Underwood states that there was no political significance to the trip and that very little politics was discussed. One thing that impressed him. however, was the fact that without single excep- ton every western man he talked to on the subject was in favor of the democrats nominating an eastern man for the presi- dency. He says that since this sentiment seems to prevail in the west itself it is a pretty strong indication as to how mat ters are going when the national conven- ton is held
 While the party was out west MT. Hearst bought another paper at Los An geles, which adds one more link to his chain of daily journals.
 In the territories stops were made at most of the principal cities in all of which the party was royalty received. Commenting on the trip MT. Underwood said last night:

Our Opportunity.

Tt is an opportunity for us," said President Jackson yesterday, which we may never again have. It may be a gen. eration before another great exposition will be held in this country, and the clr- cumstances of this particular epoch may not be repeated in our time. Manufac- turing concerns of all kinds require only correct information to induce them to locate here. We have fuel and raw ma- terlal at prices much lower than can be found elsewhere, and all conditions are favorable to tremendous growth here in almost all lines of human endeavor
 "The exhibit which we will make at St. Louis will rivet the attention of the world on Birmingham. We will circulate cor rect and reliable information about our resources in manner that has never been approached and we will provide method by which all inquiries can be satisfactorily answered.

In New Mexico,

"At one point in New Mexico we saw an orchard where the rows of trees ex- tended for a mile and a half This or chard was also planted in irrigated land. I was told that the owner got $500 worth of fruit from each acre of this orchard
 'The party went down into old Mexico for short time to look at the irrigation methods in use and while down there we all took a swim in the gulf of Cali fornia.
 Strange as it may seem I did not see single blanket Indian in either Okla homa or Indian Territory During our stay in those territories l saw perhaps fifteen Indians, but they had on citizens clothes. People shold get oyer the idea that they have nothing but Indians out there. In Indian territory the last census showed there were 10000 Indians. The territory has a population of 50O,O00 which shows how comparatively few Indians there really are.

Model Cities.

''The cities in these territories are models. They have fine buildings. fine street railways. asphalt pavements, all of them are we'll lighted and the citizens are all industrious and progressive. It is a shame that these people are not allowed to make their own laws, but must abide by whatever congress says they shall do. They have not even the authority to levy taxes to build and maintain their public schools. And yet they have them in plenty and they would be u credit to any state or city. These schools are built by popular subscription and I do not see how anyone can maintain that a people thai will do this is incapable of self govern ment.
 we admitted Wyoming and Utah with a population much smaller than that of any of these territories. The bill to ad- init, these four passed the house of rep- resentatives and think the reason 1t was killed in the senate was because the mem- bers feared that its passage would add four senators to their body.
 HospitabIe Receptions.
 At the various capitals we were met by the governor and other officials and in many cases receptions were given for us Whenever MT. Hearst was called ups on to speak he invariably asked some member of the party to respond He is a slngularly quiet man, but man of fine personality. He is tall and handsome

Should Be States.

"I can see no reason in the world why these four territories should not be ad- mitted as states. They have the popula- tion and resources and the people are thrifty and most of them are making money. We made our first step at Las Vegas, and from there went on down to Albuquerque and Santa Fe As an in- stance of how interesting and instructive the trip was we saw in Santa Fe a church which was built in 1880. That was before the Pilgrims had landed at Plymouth and before the cavaliers had landed at James, town. The population of New Mexico Is about half Mexicans, but they are all American citizens and many of them are wealthy and influential.
 "Phoenix, Arizona, was a revelation to many of us. The arid lands which have been reclaimed near there have made it a wonderful country The government is spending s3.OOO,OO0 in building a big dam across the Salt river In order that still more of the land can be irrigated and cultivated. One man near Phoenix told me that on one hundred and fifty acres of irrigated land he raised 150 head of cattle and besides that made a crop of 300 bales of alfalfa which he sold for S9 a bale

A CAMPAIGN FOR FUNDS

President Don H. Bacon of the Tennes- see Coal, Iron and Railway company yes- terday promised the worlds fair commit tee of the Commercial Club that he would place the exhibit of his company's pro- ducts with the Birmingham district ex- separate space as he had thought of doing. Vice President J. w Mcqueen of the Sloss company made a similar prom ise, and these together are regarded by MT J. M. Jackson, president of the Com mercial Club, as a pretty good basis for the exhibits to be sent from this district
 The active campaign to raise funds and to secure the necessary exhibits of all kinds to do the district justice will begin as soon as the committee returns from place in a few days.
 President Jackson's Enthusiasm.
 President Jackson is enthusiastic about the building enterprise, and is giving a great deal of time and attention to it. He says that it means more for the building of Birmingham, and the development of the state at large than anything that can be done at present. It will cause hun dreds and possibly thousands of columns of free newspaper advertising to be print ed throughout the country on the resour- ces of Alabama, and will arouse the inter- est of thousands of people respecting the advantages for settlement and investment which exist here.

The Washington correspondent Of
the OregOnian says:
Much of the responsibility for postal
irregularities that is thrown on the
shoulders of Perry Heath. fourth as
sistant postmaster-ge general, by the
report of General Bristow, would, if
all the facts were known, be distrib-
uted among a number of prominent
| men in the republican party, but no
one would bear a greater share than
Charles Emory Smith. 1t is a fact no
| longer disputed that when Smith was
postmaster-general he was advised by
General BristOw and by reports of his
inspectors of gross irregularities,
particularly in the Washington post
office, and Smith himself admits hav-
ing received these reports, but he ex-
plains away irregularities behind the
now familiar expression. "eXigencies
of the Spanish war"
Knew the Rolls Were Padded
Smith knew the postal rolls We're
| padded; in fact, it is known that he
himself appointed to office a number
| OF women clerks who rendered little
| or no service for the salary drawn
yet he sanctioned their conduct.
That Smith had knowledge Of the
gTaver frauds in the free delivery di-
| vision is not believed. but he was ad-
! yised by his inspectors that the al
| fairs Of that office would bear close
scrutiny. He ordered an examination
which was far from thorough, and
| gave the bureau clean bAI, without
| having seriously undertaken to get al

aware Of the money-making practices
in vogue in that direction. In a word.
Smith was lenient. and allowed much

Mckinley Would Shield No Grafters.
Attempts have been made from time
to time to bring President Mckinley
into the conspiracy. but there is ap-
parently no good authority for assn
ming that he knew of the corruption
that was being practiced in the postal
service. It is known that during the
investigation of the Cuban postal
frauds President Mckinley stood
firmly by General Bristow, and insist
ed upon a thorough investigation
Great influence was brought TO bear
on him at the time TO drop the case

clined to yield. even for the good of

He would in no way sanction the

is the best of reasons for believing
