President Castro, of Vene-
zuela, is about the most siren
GUS president in the world to-
day. He is in a row with Ger
many, England and Italy, and
when he gets a few minutes
time from these he has to go
out and kill a few rebels who
are after his office. 1t is safe
to bet that Castro don't get
lonesome from having nothing
to do these days.

Text Book Discussion Today.

Tho feature of today's session of the Senate will in all probability be tho dis cussion of the question of uniformity in text books for the schools of the State. The two bills bearing on uniformity are to come up for consideration by special order. One of these, by Senator John- ston of Tuscaloosa, provides uniformity for the State, while tho other, by Sena- tor Smith of Clay. contempiates uniform systems for tho several counties.
 That there will be a debate. and pro- tracted one, there is little doubt. The friends of Senator Johnston's bill are numerous in the upper House, and the opposition is also supposed to be strong. The fight is between uniformity for the State or no uniformity at all. and one Of the most spirited debates of the session is expected as result.
 MT. Chase of the Southern Book Pub fishing Company of Atlanta made an i'm teresting disclosure yesterday in his ad- dress to the Senate Finance and Taxa fion Committee. He stated positively that the fight made at the last session of the LeRisiature against uniformity in text books by one of the great book publish ing companies was a mere ruse, and that the company in question at another State capital had fought as hard for the other side of the proposition. The two big book concerns, he said, are not two sep arate trusts, as has been said. but really one. for they have friendly understand ing that amounts to that, so far as busi- ness is concerned.

Alabama Senator Declares the Minor ity Against Statehood Bill Have Ulterior Motives Which h.
 fiuence Their Tactics.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The Statehood bill again came up in the Senate today and MT. Morgan of Alabama spoke on it for more than three hours and a half. He said the Senate had been locked in a peaceful political blockade. Scarcely a ripple has appeared he said, "to agitate anybody, but the blockade has been going on, the time of the Senate being wasted and keeping us from engaging in the dis Cussion of a real topic that is looming up behind this matter--the trusts that have afflicted the people of the country" He said the trusts have been kept back and they will be kept back until it Is too late to have any discussion regarding them and he said:
 "We will be forced to accept a propo- sition that has come to us from the House. possibly without amendment and without the opportunity of explaining our views against it."
 The whole world knew that that trust bill was no more than "a mush poultice to be put on the people to alleviate pain" The object was not to defeat the admission of the territories as States, but something else lies behind it for which IHCES IS ilO GANuSt- IlG lilSIl NplllAhoNN his remarks in support of the Statehood bill.

GoIdsby Favors Recess.

Senator Goldsby of Mobile. said last evening that despite the growing senti- ment for a few days past against the proposition for a recess of the Legisla- ture, a recess would very likely be taken soon. He holds that the work of most importance before the lawmakers can be best accomplished by such a course. He thought that when those opposed to the proposition came to a full understanding of what is expected of this Legislature they would see the necessity for an ad- journment.

Hoboes have been pouring into the city the past ten days in great numbers and the proceedings of the Recorders Court have been much retarded in hearing the tales of woe as spun out by the Weary Willies" Each and all of them, of course, tell His Honor they are seeking employ ment without success and, in order to appease their sufferings he usually gives them work for ten days, tho city to bear the burden ol feeding and housing them.

Book Man Before Committee.

W. F. Chase, representing the South ern Book Publishing Company of Atlan- ta. Ga. appeared before the Senate F't- nance and Taxation Committee yesterday to explain more fully the proposition sub mitted Monday by his company to the Legislature to supply the schools of the State with full line of text books at a cost of approximately fone-half of what would otherwise be charged.
 Mir. Chase said that his company's offer was conditional upon the adoption by the Legislature of uniform system of text books: the passage by the Legislature of a uniform text book bill. The company could not undertake to furnish the books at the prices that had been submitted if it had to deal with uniformity as to counties, and had made the proposition in the belief that legislation looking to State uniformity in text books was to be expected at this session of the Legisla- ture.
 A saving of at least $2o0,oO0 yearly to the State, he said. could be effected through negotiation with his company for a school book supply, and the schools of the State he furnished with as good books as could be procured elsewhere. The company, he said is willing to make guarantees that will protect the State in every way.
