Higdon Wishes to Retire.

The muddle in the 3d Regiment, Ala bama National Guard. is likely to be cleared up now in the next few days. if Acting Governor Cunningham will reinstate Col. E. L. Higdon, who was suspended thirty months ago and who will consent to being retired immedi- ately after he has been reinstated. The retirement will place Colonel Higdon in a position to be called back into ser vice at any lime with his full rank.
 It is given out that there has been much consultation by officers in the Sd Regiment looking to a settlement of all the differences It is believed that if Governor Cunningham would consent to the plan proposed that the officers would immediately get together and elect a Colonel of the regiment and in this connection the name of w. H. McKelroy, of Anniston Is mentioned.
 It Is not believed that Governor Gun ningham will take any steps in this cause when the papers are presented to him until he has conferred with Gov ernor Jelks, who is at Isas Vegas, N. M. Colonel Higdon declined today to discuss the situation but it is known that his letter requesting reinstate- ment and immediate retirement is in the hands of a local infantry captain and if not already delivered in Mont gomery will be in the next few days.

dozen men. President Ed Flynn of the miners organization. announces that the coal being gotten out now Witn the few men who returned to sWOrA was coal that was mined before the suspension of work began. July tsE It is always customary Tor the cosi miners to leave coal in tram cars m the mines at the end Of day, weeh or months work, and this Is the coal that is now being hauled out, he says.
 At a biz mass meeting of union miR- CTS held at Warner Mines. In the west ern mart of the county, resolutions were adopted condemning the sending of sixteen armed deputies to that point ana also the arning of negroes who have returned to work, when there were no signs of any disturbance in the camp.
 The shipments of coal from the mines affected by the strike Is said to have been considerably greater today than 1t was yesterday. The Lacey-Buek Iron Company commenced carrying non-union men to its Graves mines from the city in conveyances and will begin putting these men to work just as quick as they can get them out.
 The attorney for the miners has ren. dcred a decision to the leaders of the organization that where the companies give thirty days notice to occupants of their houses that they have the law with them when the time is up. An appeal has been taken in the eight eviction cases in the Blue Creek re- zion, where a justice of the peace rem dered a decision where the miners were given fifteen days notice. This appeal will hardly come up in the Su- preme Court for several months. dur ing which time the occupants of the houses cannot be removed
 It is believed that a concerted step will be taken by the furnace men dur ing the coming week to place non. union men in the mines. the old miners having had all the opportunity to get their positions if they wanted them.

MAY,NoT BEL PARDONED
Said That Mrs. Maybrlck Cannot Come
Unless Internationally

Washington, D. c., July 16.-The
friends of Mrs. Florence Maybrick in this
city are much alarmed by reports from
England indicating that a pardon for her
is as far In the distance apparently as ever
When the reports first began coming they
we're inclined to believe they were the
products of rumor makers in London.
Now that the London newspapers have
again taken up the subject, they IRE in
clined to be respondent.
Samuel V. Hayden, attorney for Mrs.
Maybrick il the settlement of an estate
valued at $4,000, 900, has been in England
for a week, but has accomplished nothing
definite, so far as his associates here can
ascertain. He went to England for the
purpose Of procuring a pardon, for unless
she is released unconditionally it will not
be possible for her to come to the United
States and protect her interests.
y The friends of the prisoner are doing
what they can to stop the recently revived
agitation. They want to do everything
demanded by the officials Of the home
office, in order that they may procure the
release of the unfortunate woman. They
are not going to try to convince them che
is an innocent woman. All they desire is
to persuade them that if she is guilty she
has been punished enough, and that if che
is innocent, pardon is the nearest resti-
tuition that can be made.

SuIIy Offers Compromise.

New York, July 18.-Daniel j. Sully &
Company and Daniel J. Sully, individually
made formal offers of compromise at d
meeting of their creditors, but final action
was deferred until Wednesday, as ii was
not shown that the bankrupts have funds
sufficient to make good the compromise
offer Of 40 per cent. cash and 10 per cent.
In ninety.day notes. David Miller, the
trustee, at the invitation of the referee,
announced that he has 81 100000 in cash
on hand and $4,000 in good paper. He
said it would need about 100000 more
to make good the 40 per cent. offer. Fol-
lowing this announcement it was decided
that no definite action could be taken
until Mr.. SuIly made some absolute an
nouncement of the time at which he will
be prepared to deposit the needed $500, ,O0O
subject to the order of the. court on the
report of the trustee.
The meeting was then adjourned un-
til Wednesday next.

GREAT BRITAIN
NOW In GAME
viii Protect British Shipping In The
Red Sea,
FLEET GOES At ONCE TO ALEXANDRIA
No Further Investigation Of Vessels Flying
the British Flag Will Be Allowed,
as Has Been Practiced by
Russian Vessels.

London, July 1.-two naval orders
issued yesterday by the British admiralty
are believed to indicate the determination
of Great Britain to protect British ship
ping from acts of aggression at the hands
of the Russian navy. The first order dl-
rects the Mediterranean feet to sail at
once from Gibraltar to Alexandra, Egypt,
near the mouth of the Suez canal. The
second order directs two of the fastest OF
the British armored cruisers to proceed
through the canal and take up stations at
Red Sea points where several British ships
have been held up during the past few
days by vessels of the Russian volunteer
squadron.
While it is fact that the orders issued
have been carefully guarded and no public
statement is procurable, no doubt the
British foreign Office has decided that the
time has come to act promptly in protect
ing British shipping and put an end to
scts of unwarranted aggression on the
part of Russian cruisers. Well informed
naval officers believe the despatch OF the
powerful Mediterranean feet to the vicln-
ity of the Red Sea and statloning two
crack vessels Of the squadron directly
where the Russians have been carrying
things with high hand, means that no
further molestation of vessels flying the
British flag will be permitted.
