DEPARTMENT HAS
 AN EXPLANATION
TELLS WHY THERE IS A MISUN- OUTSTANDING ABOUT ESTAB. BASEMENT OF RURAL FREE DE- LIVERY ROUTES.

Washington, July 17-The postoffioe department today made public the follow ing:
 There seems to be wide msunder- standing as to the present attitude of the department regarding rural free delivery. The statement has been published gem orally, particularly In the west, that rural routes that do not handle coco pieces of mail a month and supply 100 families are to be discontinued. It Is not the purpose of the department to disturb routes ai ready established unless they are mani- festly unnecessary.
 There are now on file in the depart ment petitions for more routes that will supply more than 100 families than can be established with the present appro- priatioa. This being the case, the depart ment does not feel it wise. equitable or just to establish a route supplying less than 100 families to the exclusion of routes that will supply more than 100 families, the greatest good to the greatest num- Der being the fundamental principle on which every route is established"

CLUB
 WANTS A BUILDING
Several Matters of Interest Dis-
 cuSsed by the Directors
TO HAVE ST. LOUIS EXHIBIT
Matter of New Train to Decatur Was Discussed and Will Be Brought Up at Next Meeting of
 the Club.

Several matters of interest were dis cussed at the meeting of the board of di- rectors of the Commercial club yester- day afternoon, but no action was taken except in regard to the trip to Cinein- natl. The report of the entertainment committee on that was adopted.
 The Jefferson county exhibit at the St. Louis Purchase exposition was brought up and 1t will be discussed at the next meet ing of the club. It was stated that the big corporations of Birmingham would take hold of such an exhibit and would work towards making 1t a success in case the state refuses an appropriation, and there is no state exhibit.
 The erection of a Commercial club building, which has been discussed re- gently, was also brought up. President Jackson urged the directors to think about the matter, and by the next meet ing to be in a position to take some ae- ton in regard to 1t. The plan is for the club and other commercial and industrial boards and clubs to unite and erect handsome building
 Several members brought up the mat ter of the clubs endorsing the resolution Of the Decatur Commercial club to get another train between Birmingham and Decatur. This matter will be brought up before the Commercial club at the next meeting.

JUSTICE BREWER TALKS.
Addresses Iowa Bar Association at Des
 Molnes.

DesMoines, Ia. July 17-Justice David J. Brewer of the United States Supreme court addressing the Iowa State Bar as sociation. today, defended the power of equitable injunction and its exercise by the Federal courts, and he advocated a wider scope for 1t. He said:
 Unless the law Is to place itself out of harmony with advancing civilization, the right to prevent wrong should have an enlarged, rather than a restricted, scope. The cry against government by inJunc- ton will eventually die out and it will be felt by all that the power is accorded when necessity arises and equity and justice demand.
 "The diplomacy of the government is now on the highest plane. Not the Machiavelli or Tallyrand type, but the John Hay type marks this government among the most unselfish and the most honest of the nations of the world.'

CUBAN CONGRESS
 MAY NOT ADJOURN
HOUSE ARD SENATE ARE NOT AGREED ON THE MATTER, AND THE SESSION WILL PROBABLY LAST ANOTHER WEEK.

Havana, July 1.-The house and senate are not agreed on the latter's proposal to adjourn tomorrow, and 1t Is probable that the session will continue another week. The senate has passed the appropriation recommended by President Palma for a commission to go to the United States and possibly to Europe to negotiate the $35 100000 loan with an amendment pro- viding that others besides congressman shall be eligible as members of the com mission. Senator Sanguilly and others strenuously opposed the appropriation on the ground that Cuba's diplomatic and consular officers could fully attend to the matter.
 It Is expected that permanent postal treaties with the United States will be ratified before the adjournment of con- gross.
 President Palma this afternoon signed the bill providing for a Cuban exhibit at the St. Louis exposition.
 The newspapers comment with satisfac- tion on yesterdays ratification of the naval stations and Isle of Pines treaties as tending to strengthen the friendly re- lations between the United States and Cuba.

ISLAND SEIZURE IS
 STILL IN THE DARK
WASHINGTON AND LONDON ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT CAUSE OF ALL THE TROUBLE OFF BoRNEo.

Washington, July 17.-It Is learned at the state department that there have been no representations recently from the British government touching the owner ship of the small islands south of the Philippine archipelago and adjacent to the coast of Borneo. Nothing is known here of the recent naval operations in that corner of the world, although the fact is recalled that about year ago one of the American gunboats cruising in those waters did visit some of the native ehieftains on the smaller keys and asserted American sovereignty. It is believed here that there is no possi- bility for trouble growing out of this incident
 The sultan of Jolo possesses both tenn poral and spiritual power over the Mo- hammedan inhabitants, not only of his own group of islands, but of the north coast of Borneo and the adjacent is- lands, and the assertion of spiritual power over such of the natives as live under the British flag in Borneo and the nearby islands may have led to the sup position that the United States govern ment was improperly asserting sovereign ty over British soil.
