TERRIFYING MEN
 PAID THEIR FINES
GAMESTERS ARRESTED IN ROOMS OVER DUDE WERE FINED BY JUDGE FEAGIN-TOTAL AMOUNT PAID WAS $347.5o.

The thirty-two men arrested in the gaming room over the Dude saloon at the corner of Twentieth street and Sec ond avenue were yesterday fined total amount of s347.50 by Judge Feagin.
 This is the third largest fine which was ever placed on a bunch of men charged with gaming in Birmingham, the other two being the crowd caught over the Stag saloon several years ago and the crowd caught about a month ago over the Dude.
 Judge Feagin fined each of those who were actively engaged in gaming $15 and each of those who were witnesses $12. 50 on a promise that they would not visit a gaming house here again, or would not gamble any more in Birmingham.
 The proprietor of the place plead guilty for the entire crowd. The police stated to him that they had evidence to con- vict him, and he decided that it was use- less to go into a trial.
 This is the second raid on this place under the present police administration, and it has paid the city nearly $1O0O in six months. Both times the raids have been headed by Captain Johnson, who has had policemen in citizens clothes watching the game for at least half an hour before he entered at the head of the raiding party.

 Negroes Refuse to Work.

Huntsville. August 19.-(Special. )-Stu- dents entering the city schools of Hunts will will no longer be required to pay fee of a dollar that has been collected from them for several years past.

Loafiing negroes crowd every corner at all times of the day and it is impossible to get any of them to work. The spirit of vagrancy has enthralled even the women of the race and hundreds of white families are with out cooks.

DELAY SHOULD NOW END

Selma, August Especial )-Requested for his views on the condition made by the rejection of the senate of Columbia of the Panama canal treaty, Senator John T. Morgan wired the Selma Journal as follows
 Warm Springs, Va, August 19, 1903. To The Journal, Selma Ala:
 In April, 1902. congress appropriated the money to construct an isthmian canal, and to obtain the necessary rights for that object This must be expended at Panama if necessary, and a satisfactory treaty with Columbia can secure certain rights and privileges within a reasonable time.
 Presidentsa Maroquin and Roosevelt agreed upon a treaty which our senate ratified It requests that the congress of Columbia shall ratify it and that it shall become the law of both governments, by an exchange of ratification before Sep tember 21. If the Columbian congress has rejected this treaty, that makes 1t inn possible to exchange the notifications, and the condition has arisen that terminates the right of the President under our act of congress to delay the work on the canal to wait further negotiations with Columbia

Altitude Is Settled.

Agreements made by President McKin- ley with Nicaragua and Costa Rica set tie the attitude of the three powers as to all the basic and essential rights re- quired to be obtained by our act of con- gress leaving only the details of the plan of the concessions to be arranged by treaty, so that nothing but bad faith or violation of law can now seriously delay the work. The isthmian canal, if ever opened through Nicaragua, will not be under the control of any trans-oceanic power, and such canal could not fail to give additional help to our industries or to add strength to our military power.

Colombia Acted Wisely.

In rejecting the treaty the Columbian congress has obeyed her constitution, has preserved the territorial integrity of the republic, has saved both governments from unavoidable collisions, and have wisely consulted her financial interests.
 The condition has become fixed by the rejection of the treaty that requires the President to apply this appropriation to the construction of the canal on the Nicaraguan route, and to treat with Nicaragua and Costa Rica for certain rights and privileges defined in the act of congress.
 In the case of the location on either route the United States must have the perpetual and exclusive ownership of the canal and the exclusive right to control. It now becomes the duty of the President in obedience to the act of congress to proceed to construct the canal on the Nicaraguan route under treaty agree ment with Nicaragua and Costa Rica. There is no difficulty in a legal, engin- eering or any other way as to the Nica- raguan route, nor any doubt about it. The act of congress disposes of these matters.
