DEMOCRATS HAVE
 STATEHOOD PLAN
SUBMIT COUNTER PROPOSITION TO THE REPUBLICANS, WHICH
 PROVIDES THAT THE STATE OF MoNTEZUMA SHALL BE DIVIDED

Washington, February o6.-The senators who as a committee of the democratic senatorial caucus yesterday tentatively submitted a counter statehood proposal to the republicans, today presented their proposal in formal shape to their demo- cratic colleagues and it was generally in- dorsed They then submitted 1t to the republican senators Republicans favor ing statehood indicated willingness to accept, but the opponents of statehood declined saying they could go no further than they had gone in their original offer
 Following is the text of the democratic proposal:
 "The state of Montezuma shall be di- vlded and the two states of Montezuma and Arizona shall be created therefrom the state of Montezuma being composed of the territory within the present boun- daries of the territory Of New Mexico and the state of Arizona being composed of the territory within the present boun- daries of Arizona territory; provided that the creation of the two states of Montezuma and Arizona shall be made by proclamation of the President whenever Arizona, as now bounded, shall have 100000 inhabitants; and provided, that a census shall be taken each year by the national census bureau, commencing on May 1, 1904. and each May thereafter, and not more than three months shall be con sumed in taking each census
 The intent was to leave the provisions regarding Oklahoma and Indian terri tory as submitted, but to substitute the proposed change for all proposals relating to the territories of New Mexico and Ari- zona.

Are You a Mason?

In the production of Are You a Ma son. at the Jefferson theatre on Monday and Tuesday evenings, next the cast which is said to be one of unusual excel lence, will be headed by John c. Rice and Thomas A. Wise, two comedians of a farcical nature, whom it would be diff ficult to beat or even equal as fun producers. In their respective lines they rank high. Mir. Rice was for several years featured with May Irwin in "The Widow Jones'" "Courted Into Court" and other pieces. MT Wise has been identi- fled with Charles Frohmans productions, and has always scored success. Last year this clever pair was at the Jefferson the atre and both play and players made a most pronounced success. This year the supporting company is said to be stronger than the one of last season.
 There will be a matinee Tuesday. The sale of seats will commence this morn ing.

TRIUMPHS OF 1902.

Seldom if ever in any one year of the history of the world have so many im- portant events of universal interest taken place. America, England, Germany and France have each participated.

Meteor" christened; France had the unveiling of the Rochambeau Statue. and at all func- tions attending these celebrations Moet & Chandon's Champagne was used ex- clusively. This indeed. is an unparal- leled record, which is proof positive of the superiority and popularity of the re- nowned brand of Moet & Chandon White Seal 1-16-13t- fri

Banda Rossa.

The famous Banda Rossa, Sgnor Sor- rentino conductor, gave its first perform ance in Birmingham last night. It was announced for a matinee, but the train from Atlanta was delayed and the nut sicians did not reach the city until nearly 4 D. m.
 The Jefferson theatre, where the con- cert took place, was not filled, but a rep resentative audience gathered, and judg- ing from the rapturous applause, all felt fully repaid.
 The Banda Rossa is a superb organiza- tion and Sorrentino is a masterful leader. This band In many respects, surpasses indeed, all the brass and reed bands in the United States. In soloist it is singu- larly strong, avery solo performer be- longing to the first class, while in en- sembe work and intonation 1t Is wall nigh faultless. The following rich pro- gramme of Wagner music was presented:
 March, "Nibelungen; March of the Knights of the. Holy Grail, from Farsi faP'; Walther's Traumlied from Die Meistersinger" Eolo Trumpet, Sig Bot tega; Religious Fantasia, "The Love Feast of the Apostles": Chorus of Dis ciples, Chorus of Angels and Grand Finale); Solo Harp, selected (Sig Sevasta) {; Pilgrim Chorus from 'Tannhauser," Solo Baritone Sig Barilletti Lents. "Lohen- grin" (WagneD; Solo, selected (Marcel- la PowelD; Ride of the Valkyries.
 Sorrentino's reading was scholarly and clearly Wagnerian, and every number brought an encore.
 Miss Powell has a beautiful soprano voice and she uses 1t artistically. Her number was the gavatte song from Was sanet's "Ninon," and for an encore she sang little ballad entitled "violets."
 Signor Bottega, the trumpet soloist, and Signor Barilletti, the baritone horn so- lost, were greatly applauded. The trum- peter responded with the Evening Star song from Tannhauser and again with short melody.
 It will be a long time perhaps before Birmingham music lovers are treated to such a tone banquet as Banda Rossa set before them last night.

"BIack Patti Troubadours."

America's best aggregation of Afro- American Thespians will be the attraction at the Jefferson theatre this afternoon and tonight
 The standing and reputation of Black Patti, the excellence of the Troubadours and the success of their performance else where, makes the appearance of this company of singers, dancers and come- dians in this city an event of interest.
 Black Patti for six years has won fame with the Black Patti Troubadours, the most popular band of darkey playfollSs ever organized. and this success is due in a measure to the opportunities given to all the members of the company. The balcony will be reserved for colored pat rons at both performances.

At the BlIou.

One of the prettiest songs yet introduced by the Bijou Musical Comedy company is that of Miss Suzanne Rocamora this week. My Girl With the Dreamy Eyes" is catchy, and Miss Rocamora has splendid voice, sweet and clear. Her song this week is much better than the one she sang with Frank Johnson in "A Stranger in a Strange Land" It calls for more artistic work and Miss .Roca- mora executes it better than most of the previous songs have been rendered.
 The topical songs of Chip and Otis Harlan are hits. They have medley written by Max Hoffman which includes lines from all the popular hits. The piece has story running through it and this adds to its attractiveness. The company plays only three more performances of By the Sad Sea Waves"-tonight, and tomorrow matinee and night.

sion as to MT. Wards position relative to Lakeview park. He will doubtless re- call that shortly after elected city at tofney, MT Ward took him to his office ana showed him maps, etc. and gave nm other information as to the eontro- Versy and advised with him i'll a friendly interest to prosecute the claims of the GUY, thereby making a reputation by saving the park to the city MT. Ward mas always publicly advocated the city's claim to ownership and possession of this ana other parks and is glad of oppol- tunity to reiterate it.
 A campaign fund is one thing Mir. Ward has not got. He has the votes and the good will of the people, which Drennen's money cannot buy.
 Mr. Ward is in favor of present salaries and, in so far as the financial ability of the city can afford, increase the number oI employees if necessary to properly do the work required by the increasing growth of our city.
 Has Drennen ever denied the published statement of Senator Morrow that he Senator Morrow, introduced the pool sell ing amendment in the senate at the re- quest of Mayor Drennen, who was stand ing by him and handed him the amend ment? It was adopted and concurred in in the regular way.
 The public will remember that this amendment was tackled on to the Bir- minsham charter bill authorizing pool selling, etc, and which caused Governor Sanford to veto the bill.
 It is openly boasted by some that they only fear state warrants, for if arrested under city ordinances the fines would be remitted as soon as they could get to Mayor Drennen.
 Why did the street railway company pay the poll taxes of many of it's em- ployes? Was it done in the interest of Mayor Drennen? What is the inferencei The manhood of the companys employes will assert itself and vote for Mr. Ward for Mayor.
