knows that Diaz rules despotically but
he has certainly used his power for the
advantage of his country. To the po-

it matters not whether a ruler is a
despot or an elected head of a state.
He is against law and order, and
should be dealt with as a wild beast.

Powers Consider Means to Pre-

MAY USE POLICE METHODS
Russia and Austria Propose to Estab- Ilsh an International Gendarnie Which Shall Give Equal
 Protection to All. ~

London, December 4-Negotiations be- gun today by the powers may result in an international administration for Mace- donia along the lines observed In the pres ent government of the Island of Crete. The Associated Press learns that, in or der to prevent another Macedonian up- rising in the spring, attended by unspealS- able horrors, and the danger of a war be- tween Turkey and Bulgaria, as a conse- quence, Russia and Austria have pro. posed to the other powers that immediate steps be taken to put into operation a plan which in it's general outline resem- bles that now enforced in Crete. This proposal Is the result of the acceptance in principal by the sultan three days ago of the Russo-Austrian note concerning re- forms in Macedonia, submitted after the recent conference between Czar Nicholas and Emperor Francis Joseph.
 To what extent each power will partici- pate in the organization of an interna- tional gendarnie to be formed for the preservation of order, and which power will be placed in supreme command of the gendarmie, as well as other details, must be settled by the negotiations between the powers. This proposal of the two powers dissipates the apprehension which has prevailed in diplomatic circles on the con- tinent that Russia and Austria are ar ranging a settlement of the Macedonian question in way to Insure only their own interest
 According to the information obtained by the Associated Press the powers will unite in demanding the appointment of a Christian governor of Macedonia. While | it is intended that the Christians shall be protected, there is also a determination that equal protection shall be accorded | the Mussulmans.
 | It is believed that results identical with | those obtained in Crete will be had with l a similar policy in Macedonia. l At first a large force was sent to Crete, but at present there are not more than 1900 men there representing the govern
 ments of Great Britain, France, Russia ] and Italy.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Jefferson.

Howard Kyle gave an excellent inter- pretation last night at the Jefferson the atre of the role of Sir Jasper Thorndyke, the disappointed lover in Rosemary" It is a part entirely new to MT Kyle and many were anxious to compare his work with that of John Drew and Otis Skinner, who have both headed great productions of Rosemary" playing the same role.
 Mir. Kyle makes the character very much the same until the last act, which Is fifty years after he falls In love with Dolly" when he materially changes the interpretation of the part. John Drew was more of the cynic in this act, but MT. Kyle treats his love for Dolly as the greatest and happiest of his memories, and something which has sweetened his whole life for half century. His in- depreciation of the role is romantic and appeals strongly to the heart
 Miss Helen Prindeville, the youngest leading woman on the stage is excellent ly fitted in all ways for the part of Dolly" She is a beautiful young wom- an, and gives promise of some day being one of the stars of the stage She is just IS years old
 The remainder of the company Is as well balanced as could be desired. Every play, and they all are capable Captain Cruickshank, regular old sea dog fur nished much of the comedy of the play. The part is excellently played by George Gaston.

ENGLAND SCARED BY COTTON'S RISE Intense Excitement Felt at Man. chester and Liverpool THE PRICES ARE ADVANCED 1t Is Said That If the American Bureau Report Is Correct It Will Mean
 Terrible Calamity for
 Lancashire.
THE PRICES ARE ADVANCED

London, December 1.-The rise in cot chester and Liverpool today. American cotton advanced 2s to A points oyer yes- terday's closing prices. It is said local ly that if the official crop estimate of the United States department of agriculture, made public yesterday, is correct it means a terrible calamity for Lanca- shire.
 On the receipt in Liverpool of the New York market prices eased somewhat on general pressure. January and February touched 6.57 and May and June $50 amid some excitement, which continued through the afternoon. The close was irregular and unsettled.
 The cotton trade in London is divided in opinion, one section contending that the demand for cotton goods because of the falling off of orders from India and China Is not likely to be exceptionally great during the coming year, and that 10, GOO bales, as estimated by the Amer ican agricultural department will be suf- ficient to meet all requirements.
 One of the largest firms of cotton spin ners at Bradford announces that they are preparing to erect mills In the United States to which they will transfer hum dreds of looms with their complement of combining, drawing and spinning ma chinery, the dismounting of which has al- ready commenced. In making the an- nouncement the firm says:
 "The American manufacturers recently have made such vast improvements in the manufacture and in the dyeing of the finest classes of goods similar to those we produce. on which we are paying 100 per cent and upwards in duty, that we are confident our present American de- partment will never be able to pay it's way more than three or four years more at the most"

REPORT OF D|SCORD
 WAS FALSE ALARM
County and State Committee in
 Absolute Harmony
CHAIRMAN THOMPSON TALK
Says Ruling of State Committee Does Not Apply to Counties Which Had Made Previous Arrangements.
 There Is No Antagonism.

What seemed at first to be a disagree ment between the Jefferson county exec utive committee and the state committed now proves to have been false alarm. Representatives of the county commit tee disclaim any intention of antagoniz ing the state committee by determining to have the primary in Jefferson as ear, ly as March and representatives of the state committee feel that their prerogativt l Is not brought into question by county committees, where work was begun to. ward calling meetings before the state committee made it's recommendation thai uniform primaries be held in August 1 It is the opinion of all concerned thai there is not a man interested in the well fare of the democratic party in Alabams who does not feel at heart that 1t is best to have primaries and to have them held on a uniform date, although many of them feel that conditions are not the same in all parts of the state and that what will suit one section will not suit another.
 Mir. Thompson Talks.
 Chairman B. A. Thompson of the coun- ty executive committee is particularly anxious that the impression should noi get abroad that his committee is seeking to antagonize the state organization, but on the other hand desires the relations between the two to be most harmonious MT Thompson said yesterday:
 'I see from the political gossip in the daily press that some people insist that the action of calling the county committed to meet on December 12 is contrary tc the action taken by the state committed at it's last meeting. Nothing could be further from the truth.
 "The majority report of the state com- mittee declared it to be the sense of the committee that no county committee should be called to meet until after Janu- ary IS, but it was evident that to pass the majority report 1t would be neces- | sary to amend 1t. This was done in the following language; Provided this shall been taken by the committee or other wise
 Clearly an Exception. I've are clearly within the exception as steps had already been taken and measures were then In progress looking 1 to a meeting of the Jefferson committed | in December.
 While personally we may have grave doubts as to the wisdom of the state com. mittee's interfering with our local af. fairs, still no member of our committee so far as I know, has any other feeling than to yield to the state committee al the respect and deference to which 1t is entitled in the discharge of it's lawful au. thority.
 "No democrat should try to produce dis cord by statements that we are in con, tempt of the state committee when tht facts do not justify it. We have beer careful to stay clearly within our rights as laid down by the committee itself."

DR. DRENNEN FINDS
 HORSE AND BUGGY
Man Who Committed the Theft Proved to B. First-class Swapper and
 Got Farmers Mixed Up.

pr. D. Ed Drennen yesterday recovered his horse which, with his buggy, was stolen from in front of the house of a patient on the south side several days ago. There is quite an interesting story connected with the recovery of the team.
 The man who stole the horse and buggy has not been apprehended but is thought to be in Chattanooga. After stealing the horse and buggy the animal was driv- en about four miles from Springville, in St. Clair county. There it was swapped for a mule and saddle. The horse thief was evidently also a swapper of expe- riehce. He kept the mule only 9 short while, swapping 1t for a mare. This in turn was sold for s37. With part of the cash in his pocket the horse swapper walked to Steele's station and bought a new suit of clothes and boarded an Ala bama Great Southern train for Chatta- nooga without taking the time to pur- chase ticket. This was the last seen of him.
 The horse of Dr. Drennen was recog- nized by John T. Presiy, a- ex-employe of the firm of Drennen X Co.,, and the doctor was immediately notified Yes terday morning the horse was driven to town The buggy was in good repair, the whip and storm curtains were all right, and the only thing missing was a halter, valued at S1.50- The mule and saddle has been returned to its owner, and so has the mare traded for, and the only one who has lost anything is the man who paid the swapper s37 in cash.
 Dr. Drennen offered a reward for the return of the horse and buggy.
