1NsULAR FREE TRADE.
Balfour Argues for a Change in En-
 glands Fiscil Policy.

London, Sept. 15-Premer Balfour is- sued tonight the advance sheets of pamphlet on the subject of "Insular free trade" in which he presents at length arguments in favor of a change in Great Britain's fiscal policy. In introducing the pamphlet, MT. Balfour says his purpose in issuing it Is that 1t would be impossi- ble to put all the important points of this question within the limits of a single speech and therefore he says the pam phlet may be fitting preliminary to the speech which he will shortly make. This undoubtedly refers to the speech MT. Balfour will make at Sheffield October 1.
 Mir. Balfour says he approaches the subject from the standpoint of a free trader as far as contemporaneous cir cumstances will permit. He continues:
 T am a free trader, but not of the pattern which holds that the doctrine of free trade Is so universal in it's applica- tion and so capable of an exact examina- tion that every conclusion to which 1t logically leads must be accepted without hesitation and without reserve"
 The arguments presented throughout the pamAhlst vary little from those already enunciated, but the premier points out that as a result of Englands 8 policy of retaining a fiscal policy made for a free trade country in word of pro- tectionists, the rate of her export trade has not increased and in fact has serious ly diminished

CALLED TOOYSTER BAY
sUMMoND BY THE
 PRESIDENT.
Believed That It VIII Be Decided Who Shall Succeed to Certain Federal Offices In
 This State.

Birmingham, Sept. 16.-(Special.) )-Hon. Joseph O. Thompson, Collector of In- ternal Revenue in Alabama and one of the Presidents referees in this State, left Birmingham this afternoon for Oyster Bay, where he was called for a confer ence with President Roosevelt. The nature of the conference was not given out by Mir. Thompson, but 1t is under stood that 1t Is for the purpose of decid- ing who shall succeed to certain offices in Alabama, where the terms of the present holders will expire at an early date. The visit is regarded as full of political sig niflcance and the result will be awaited with keen interest by the Republicans of Alabama, and especially by the office- holders who are in the balance.
 The terms of the postmaster at An niston, the postmaster at Opelika and the United States Marshal at Mobile expire the latter part of this year. in addition to numerous smaller offices, and these will, 1t is understood, be considered. It is the general opinion that Postmaster L.. T. Smith of Anniston, is slated to go and that Postmaster D. B. Smith of Opelika, will also step down and out. Frank Simmons the marshal at Mobile, is also said to be in i'll favor with the adminis- tration and it is freely predicted that a successor will be named by the President. Congress will meet in November and 1t is understood that the President will be prepared at that time to announce such changes as have been agreed upon
 While the offices named are the most inonortant ones now mentioned in connec- ton with the talk of changes, 1t is hinted in some quarters that even bigger game may fall before the canvass of the Ala bama situation has been completed and
 more than one large oficeholder is on the uneasy seat. The Lily White" and ''Black and Tan" issues will, 1t is said, cut some figure in the deliberatiop of the President and his Alabama advisor
 Prior to leaving Birmingham, Mir William F. Aldrich, another of the re- ferees. and he will confer with Charley Scott, the other referee. in New York.
 MT. Thompson expects to remain at Oyster Bay for several days.

LEGISLATION ,SD LEGISLATORS.


tice of the dispensary bill, as required by the Constitution, was published in his paper for four successive weeks The opponents of the bill deny this They set up the claim that an offer to produce proof to show that the press of the pa- per in question broke down and that the notice was published twice in one week. They do not deny that the notice was published four times. but they claim that 1t was not published for four successive weeks.
 This question will be fought out be- fore the House Temperance Committee at meeting which wil be held at 9 o'clock this morning.
 Hon. E. B. Joseph, Mayor of Mont gomery, was interviewed last night by a representative of The Advertiser, in re- gard to his opinion on the proposed leg islation on municipal corporations. MT. Joseph's opinion is that municipalities should, so far as possible, be allowed to legislate for themselves.
 Mayor Joseph was until last April Pres ident of the League of Alabama Muni- cipalities. and his opinions are therefore of interest.
 Both the bill reported by the Senate's Recess Committee and the bill reported by Judge Walker, Chairman of the House Committee on Municipal Corporations, contain number of provisions which would be inimical to Montgomery and contrary to the views of mayors and al- dermen of the State as expressed at their annual meeting" said Mayor Joseph. My views were expressed in an ad dress which, as President. delivered be- fore the League of Alabama Municipalf- ties at Birmingham, last spring. Tersely stated these were that there should be local municipal self-government. and that any general legislation affecting munich palities should be made subject to ac- ceptance or rejection by each municipal ity.
 My opinion is that the present charter of the city of Montgomery, aside from q

POOLE ON COTTON CROP
DECLARES YIELD WILL NOT FIX
 CEED LAST YEAR.
From Every Section of Alabama He Has Received Reports of De- terioration-The Move
 ment is Slow.

In a statement mailed yesterday to gohn Hyde, government statistician, tdon. R. R. Poole, commissioner of agri- culture and industries, declares that the present Alabama cotton crop will be no larger than that of last year.
 MT. Poole says:
 There has been great deterioration in the cotton crop within the last three weeks, and from the best information can get from every section of this State the yield in Alabama will be no larger than last year.
 We are now in the midst of a terri ple rain and wind storm which I appre- bend will cause further deterioration in the crop.
 The crop is very late, at least from Three to four weeks later than last year, ana consequently is moving very slow ". The reports are very much behind last year. and the farmers are very much encouraged at this crop deterioration.
 have endeavored to keep in touch with every section of the State and have something like fifteen correspondents in every section who write me as to the crop conditions in their particular local- lties. l think we can safely put down fhe crop as no larger than last year."

wri+.a of Chinese Riot.

Mrs. A D. Rice, formerly Miss Emma BIsaett who went from Birmingham to China as a missionary about three years ago. tells of a serious riot which occurred in that country recently In writing to her people here. She says that owing to the bI0h water on the canal between Chin kisn1 and Tsing Kains Pu the passage of sfeau1 launches caused the water to douT aver the banks and flood farming lands. This caused the farmers great in- dI1not,or and they were joined in a riot by the operators of the old fashioned slow boats who have all along been opposed "a ths rhors modern boats.

There were few visitors at The Ad- vertiser home last night that were some what of a disturbing element. No one could tell whence they came; what their intentions were: what the object of the visit; what the attraction, or what their future plan of action.
 They were green-but "bugs'-and had a way of demanding atention-and re- ceiving it. They. in numberless masses. visited eevry department, and the recep- tion accorded them was as varied as are the heads of those various departments. They were no respectors of persons and treated the Editor-in-Chief in as familiar manner as the accorded the printers devil.
 There was . difference of opinion as to whose duty 1t was to write up these visitors. The majority of the stan thought them of sufficient importance to be handled" by the Editor-in- Chief, him. self. but he scarcely replied Co the sug- gestion when 1t was made. He simply from phial of ammonia put a few drops on his paper; on the place where the hair ought to growi on hands. wrists and cheeks: and went on his way telling peo- pie, with his pencil, what to think.
 The next man approached was the City Editor, who treated the subject with equal silent contempt. He simply stated that the matter did not come under his Jurisdiction. He set himself a mosquito bar and went on his way. s
 The next to refuse to accept the sub 5ect as belonging to his department was the Sporting Editor. Beligerent as every man felt toward the pestiferous callers, he would not see it in a sporting light He refused to be detailed to do" the job. s-az
 Excitement on the unsettled subject grew apace until every member of the staff save the head of the Woman's and Society Department and the Proof Reader were called into secret consultation on the subject.
 She grew anxious and went to seek comfort from him-the Proof Reader usually her direst anemy, in as much as he sometimes rebels against all her errors being placed on his shoulders.
 There he sat in his unsympathetic iso- lation, burning a mound of insect pow der, an incense he hoped would rid him of the callers. She turned back to her gilded quarters just in time to receive the order:
 ''It is society event. You will please do the story"
 This from the Editor-in- Chief who had treated the millions of little green bugs to dose of ammonia.
