NEGROES DEDICATE

ELABORATE CEREMONIES IN WASHINGTON BY UNITED OR. DER TRUE REFoRMES-Roos WELT SENDS LETTER.

Washington July 15.-A large hall re- gently erected by the United Order of True Reformers, a fraternal and benefi- eial order composed of and managed entirely by negroes. was dedicated here today with elaborate ceremonies. Com missioner Mcfarland of the District of Columbia made an address and w. L.. Bailey, chief of the St. Louis division spoke for the western and southwestern divisions of the order, which has ten thousand members. President Roosevelt sent the following letter to the Rev. w.. L. Taylor, one of the order:
 T wished to be present at the dedica- tion of the hall. I most earnestly believe in all industrial and beneficial organiza- tions of this character whose purpose is to teach the lessons of thrift, economy, industry, sef-dependence and self-reli- ance. am particularly pleased to learn that your institution Is entirely out of debt. No one can watch with more zeal ous interest than do the progress of the colored race; and with the colored man as with the white man. the first step must be for him to show his ability to take care of himself and those dependent upon him."

CURIOUS RUMOR
 HEARD IN LONDON
REPORT THAT U. S. SHIP HAS SEIZED A NUMBER OF ISLANDS NEAR BoRNEo CAUSES MUCH SPECULATION.

London, July 15.-Accordlng to the Press association a curious rumor was current in the lobby of the house of com mons tonight to the effect that some United States warship had seized. off the coast of Borneo, twenty small islands, which, It Is said, belong to Great Britain, and had planted the American flag on them.
 It Is probable that question on the subject will be asked in the house.
 Explained at Washington.
 Washington, July 15.-No Information that any Islands near Borneo have been seized by United States vessel has come to the state department.
 A plausible explanation of the reported occurrence, 1t is stated, Is that the com manding officer in the Philippines sent one or more of his vessels to hoist the flag of the United States over some islands near the coast of Borneo which were purchas- ed by the United States from Spain subse- quent to the treaty of Paris. The islands compose the cagayan Suiu group, com prising one large and fourteen smaller islands. and the larger Island is Palawan.
 The islands were not comprehended within the boundaries of the Philippine archipelago when the treaty of Paris was signed. The claim was made later. 5how- ever, that they rightfully belonged to Spain and they were formally ceded to the United States by a subsequent action of that government, and cur congress made an appropriation and paid the pur- chase price agreed on for them.

 BIG BIRMINGHAM
CITY COUNCIL PASSES REsoLU- TON OPPOSING THE PROPOSED MERGER soLoNs ANNOUNCE OBJECTION TO SOLDIERS.

At meeting of the board of aldermen of East Lake held Tuesday night, reso- lutions were passed against Greater Bir- mingham, which would include East Lake, against encampments at East Lake and one in favor of the Birmingham, Hunts vile and Gulf railroad.
 The resolution opposing the city being included in Greater Birmingham was in- troduced by Alderman T. Y. Prude:
 Resolved, That we, the town council of East Lake, in regular semi-monthly meet ing convened, do hereby enter our most earnest protest against the proposition to annex the town of East Lake to the city of Birmingham.
 Resolved further, That committee, to consist of the mayor, R. N. Mckinley chairman; Aldermen J. H. Finch and William J. Wa1drop, be and the same is hereby appointed to take the matter up with similar bodies to be appointed
 Resolved further, that we hereby call upon Senator Hugh Morrow not to forget the resolution adopted by the democratic Feonyention by which he was nominated for the senate, directing him to see that the question of Greater Birmingham should be submitted to a vote of the electors of the several suburban com munities at interest"
 The resolution against encampments was as follows:
 Resolved, That In view of East Lakes trying experience with former encamp- ments and of Montgomsry's recent un- pleasant experience with an encampment of state troops. we. the town council of East Lake, respectfully submit to the military authorities of the state that the presence of an enoampment of troops in this place would be very undesirable to the town of East Lake.
 Resolved further, That the clerk is hereby directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the governor of the state, Hon. William Dorsey Jelks."
 A committee of three was appointed to urge that the Birmingham, Huntsville and Gulf railroad come through the limits of East Lake. The committee is T. Y. Prude. s. R. Hawley and s. A. La Rosse. committee of three, consisting of Rob- ert Morris, B. F. Winston and W. A. Will Hams. was appointed to see about exempt ing certain industries from taxation for period of years.

TAX COLLECTORS
 WEAR WEARIED LOOK
DON'T KNOW WHO WILL SUCCEED THEM WHEN THEY RETIRE FROM OFFICE NEXT JuLY--LAW WILL BE PATCHED UP.

An effort is being made by the tax as- sessors and tax collectors of the state to learn what will be done for some one to fill their positions after the expiration of their terms of office next July. Accord ing to the new constitution their suc- cessors will not be elected until year from next November. so that there will be a period of several months during which the offices will not be filled.
 The concensus of opinion seems to be that some steps should be taken whereby the present assessors and collectors will continue to perform their duties until the election of their successors. The governor and members of the legislature have been informed of the peculiar situ- ation, so that some action will probably be taken to make satisfactory arrange ment.

 ON POPE LEO'S RECOVERY

physical energy absolutely indispensable for recovery Is lacking.
 Pope Leo's organism is perfect and as such maintains itself after ninety-three years of never interrupted work. but his motor force is no longer sufficient for the complex functions essential to life. In other words. the ninety-three years of Pope Leo XIII brings him into that cate gory Of extraordinary longevity when life is destined to flicker out independent of the action of any pathological complica- tion.

LEWISBURG MINERS
 HAVE PROPOSITION
lLA. CONSOLIDATED COAL AND IRON co. SUBMITS DAILY WAGE SCALE PLAN TO MEN--MEETS WITH APPROVAL.

The Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company submitted the following proposition to its miner at Lewisburg;
 owing to the great quantity of im- Durities our coal seam contains and its nature generally, we are, after giving the method of mining 1t with machines, on a tonnage basis fair trial, more thor orghiy convinced than ever that it can he mined with greater satisfaction and economy to both the employees and the company on a day wage basis. First, be- cause 1t would give the employees steadier work and greater earning capacity, in- asmuch as when no coal Is mined in the room of any particular person they could go into another room or be put on some other work for that day.
 ''Second, on a day wage basis the ma chimes could be more regularly employed, because the work could be so arranged that rooms could be cleaned up to keep them at work; as it is at present, very often a miner leaves two or three cars -of.coal in his room at night, thus pre- venting Is being cut. consequently gives him only that much coal to load the fol- lowing day, this condition often exists in said rooms were 1t on a day wage basis the men could be doubled up and the rooms cleaned up one after the other, thereby keeping the machines and the men at work regularly. For the purpose of putting 1t on this basis we propose the following scale of wages:
 Room cleaners, .S5 per day.
 "Scrapers, ;2.00 per day
 'Shooters and timber men $3.0O per day.
 ''Loaders. $2.1o per day.
 Room cleaners, $1. 80 per day"
 "A vote was to have been taken by the men on the proposition yesterday, but at a late hour last night 1t was impossible to learn what was done, and it may be several days before the result Is made public, as any such proposition would have to be submitted to the United Mine Workers officials and passed upon by them before it would become effective.
 The proposal seems to meet with gen. eral approval from the men.

The constitu- tion provides, however that regular ses- sions of congress shall be held every two years, beginning with 1ss6.
 This means that the present special ses- sion of the Colombian congress can be continued as long as the president de- sires, and can consider only those ques- tions put before 1t by the president.
