MERCHANTS REJECT
 THE CLERKS TERMS
Joint Meeting Called for Next
 Monday Night
THE MERCHANTS ORGANIZE
Exchange Has Elected Officers and Gone to Work-Matter Between Clerks and Employes Is
 Now a Live One.

At meeting of a committee of the Retail Clerks union, held last night in the Morris hotel, proposition from the merchants of the city was received and rejected. A joint meeting of the clerks and the merchants has been called for Monday night at o'clock in the par lors of the Morris hotel when the entire matter of hours will be gone over and an effort made to reach a compromise.
 The Merchants exchange, an organiza- tion perfected recently. yesterday sent the Clerks union a communication in which 1t was stated, 1t is said. that they would make their own hours for opening and closing, and that they would not ac- cept the proposition made by the clerks some time ago touching holidays and hours.
 Clerks Proposition.
 The proposition of the clerks was that the stores open at o'clock and close at 6 o'clock every day except Saturday, and on Saturday to close at 10 o'clock instead of Il o'clock as at present; to get five whole holidays, namely Christmas, New Year. Fourth of July, Labor Day and Thanksgiving Day; also to get half holi- days every Friday in July and August, making four more whole holidays.
 This is the proposition which the clerks made and the merchants refused to &C., cept. The exact terms of the reply sent the clerks yesterday has not been made public, but it is understood that it was practically refusal to accept any of the terms of the clerks.
 The matter has grown to be a live issue and a strike of the clerks is said to be imminent unless compromise is reach ed Monday night.
 Merchants Organization.
 The Merchants Exchange has been or ganized, 1t Is stated, to promote the in- terests of the retail trade of Birmingham and to enable the merchants to act as a unit on all matters affecting their busi- ness.
 The officers of the exchange are as follows:
 D. M. Drennen, president; J. D. Col lines, vice president; W. G. Collins, sec retary, and Samuel Blach, treasurer.

notorious characters of this variety in
Jackson, who are usually fined at
every term of court, but who pay the
small sum with a glad heart, knowing

NO SUCH THING.
Hamper Street Does Not Run as
Reported - 1t lntersects
Third Street.

Yesterday the Progress had some
thing fo say about the action OF the
board in closing and then reopening
Hamper street at the turpentine dis
tillery and showed, as it was showed
to us by one of the proprietors of the
plant, exactly how the street ran,
showing that the part which ran into
the plant was spur street or rather
no street at all as it had no outlet nor
could it get an outlet, as it butted up
against private property. What was
stated in the Progress was told pre-
cisely as it was told us, but there
seems to be another side to the ques-
tion and the petitioners for the open
ing of the street would like to have
that side told.
The gentleman who gave us the in
foramtion certainly has not seen the
map which shows that Hamper street
runs through his property and inter
sects Third street, which gives the
people living on Hamper street
direct route to Maine street, and, by
the way, the only route they have
unless they come through the business
protion of the city.
This puts new phase on the matter
altogether, and not only the Progress,
but it seems that the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the matter
when it was ordreed by the board that
the street should be close was mis-
taken
1t apapers now that Hamper street
does not butt up against any private
property, especially that belonging to
the Watkins Company. as that CON-
pany's property only runs north to
the street and it thas no property
north of it.
The Progress gladly makes the cor
rection, and feels satisfied in making
it it has enlightened others on the
subject. The correction is made &C
cording to the map.

A BURGLAR BUMBED UP.
Enters Business House of Mr.. Pruitt
Who LamS Him Over the
Head With a Chair.

This morning about O'Clock Mr..
Pruitt, who has a store in the High
tower building down on Mobile street
was awakened by some one slipping
over the floor in his barefeet. Mr..
Pruitt had heretofore been sleeping
with his pants and pistol under the
head of his bed, but by some means
last night he neglected to take this
precaution, leaving his pants on
chair and his pistol on the dresser.
AS soon as he beeames sufficiently
aroused to realize that there was a
burglar in his room the first thing he
thou ght about was his pistol, but that
being out of reach he concluded to
give the intruder reception with
the first article on which he could
lay his hands. This was achair which
happened to be close to his bed, and
he used it with considerable force
| over the head of the man, which Mr..
| Pruitt is satisfied was a negro, made
his way to the window through which
he entered the room and made his
exit in the shortest time he could.

Among those who are indicted are
to be found some of the prominent

SENATE GAVE NO
MONEY FOR HOUSE

The Senate adjourned yesterday with
out doing anything, for the House in
the way of providing its members with
money. AS a matter of fact the upper
house didn't do anything else either.
Before the chaplain had been given
a chance to offer prayer Senator Isen-
berg was on his feet with motion to
adjourn until Saturday. McCandless
moved an amendment to adjourn sine
die. The motion was ruled out of order
but McCandless claimed that if the
Legislature adjourned without day the
Governor could call special session
if he wanted one.
After the prayer there was lot of
aimless discussion directed at nobody
in particular but which served to show
that the Senate had no intention of ac-
ceding to the House request for money.
Then Senator Dickey moved a recess
until afternoon as he wanted to attend
a meeting of the Maui members to con-
slider the loan bill. Achi moved to adj
journ for the day and McCandless
amended to adjourn until Thursday,
saying the Senate was far in advance
of the House in its work, which was the
reason for the lengthy adjournment of
last Thursday Only one bill was be-
fore the Senate said McCandless, so
no work could be done in any event.
The motion to adjourn until Thursday
was lost 3 to 5. The motion for a re-
cess was lost to g. A motion to adj
journ until this morning at ten O'Clock
finally carried with eleven ayes.

HOW THE REPUBLIC OF
CUBA. is PROGRESSING
Predictions of Evil and What Came of Them.
Surplus in the Treasury and Industrial
Matters Looking Up.

HAVANA. May lit is now twelve
months since the island of Cuba started
in business on it's own account as a
nominally independent and self-govern-
ing republic. On May 90 1902, it
emerged from the control of a semi
military administration, virtually auto
cratic. in its methods, to essay a new
political life under untried and mex
perienced leaders. Assertions of Gu
ban incapacity for self-government had
been frequently made by Americans,
both official and civilian. Predictions
of early if not of immediate disaster
to the new organization had been equal
ly frequent. The assertions and the
predictions have been alike COMPOUNDED.
Governmentally, the island has shown
no retrogression. Many assert that the
new regime has been an Improvement
upon it's predecessor. Peace and order
have prevailed, with the single excep-
ton of a speedily suppressed labor
strike in the city of Havana. Public
work, sanitation and educational proc
esses have been maintained. The ma
tionaI treasury has accumulated a sur
plus of some 100000 in addition to
the $4,000 left by the former admins
tration. Viewed broadly. the produce
tive industries of the island show
measure of Improvement. While the
island is really in much less prosper
Gus and satisfactory condition finan-
ciaily and industrially than many have
recently asserted it to be, the Cuban
record for the past eleven months COM
mands the respect and approval of all
Americans.
