china's Empress Regent.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

A report from Canton says that the en-
press regent of China is dead. This re-
markable woman has had fashion of dy-
ing in times of trouble, and 1t will require
more than cable rumor to convince peo-
pie that she Is not still in the land of the
living. She is. perhaps. the most wonderful
woman of history. AS sort of power be-
hind the throne. she has ruled with a rod
of iron and has demonstrated great ability
What a splendid hand she would be to lifi
fiagging, dormant woman-suffrage move
ment out of travail

Underwood has no opposition for the NOM
ination. For awhile there was talk that
some man might come out against the
Birmingham congressman but SO far no
one has 50 declared and 1t is highly prob
able that Mr.. Underwood will be nominat-
ed by reclamation.
Following is the call issued by Chair
man Campbell:
"A meeting of the democratic execu-
tive committee for the Ninth congress
sional district of Alabama Is called to
meet at Birmingham at 70 o'clock, M. on
Saturday, the 9Th day of February, 1904,
to take appropriate action with reference
to the nomination of a democratic candi-
date for congress from said district"
In speaking of the call last night Mr..
Campbell said: "The state committee
has fixed the time and mode Of nominate
ing democratic candidates for congress
and for other offices, but the plan adopt
ed leaves some matters of detail to be car
ried out or provided for by the district
committe I have, therefore, called the
district committee together and Il VIII.
no doubt take such action as is contem-
plated by the state committees plan and
place itself in thorough accord with the
idea of a primary election"
