TEST OF EMIGRANT LAW
AGENT WHO WAS FINED APPEALS
 TO SUPREME COURT.
IA Case From Fillmore County it fl Held That New Statute Infringes
 On Guarantee of Free

An important appeal, striking at the constitutionality of an act of the last Legislature imposing a license of $500 on emigrant agents operating in Ala bama, was filed in the State Supreme Court yesterday by Frank W. Lull and Edward F. Jones'. of wetumpka.
 This appeal was taken from the El- more County Court. Judge H.M. Lam caster presiding. in the case of the State against Steve Kendrick- Ken drick last year was fined $500 and was sentenced to six months. hard labor for Fillmore County and in addition 241 days was imposed for costs on the charge of carrying on an emigrant agents business in Alabama without a license.
 The testimony on record shows that Kendrick made overt efforts as an agent to contract with laborers near Wetumpka to go to Louisville and work in cotton fields. It was discov- cred that he had not taken out a li- cense for such occupation and Sheriff W. O. Robbins swore out an affida- vit charging the violation of the stat- ute. Counsel for Kendrick contend that the act of the Legislature is uncon- stitutional because, 1t Is alleged. 1t was not passed to raise a revenue but distinctly to prohibit freedom of contract and restrain egress from the State. They further argue that tho correct definition of the word "emi- grant" carries with it the idea of go- ing from one place or State to another State fer the purpose of permanent residence. In this case, they claim, the defendant. Kendrick, intended to deport laborers from the State for a year or less and to let their homes remain in Alabama if the contracting persons so desired.
 The hardships of the measure. too. were recounted. complaint being made that $33.500 would have to be paid by the agents traversing all the coun- ties.
 Attorney General Massey Wilson in his brief cites the case. of. the State of Georgia vs. Randolph, appealed to the United States Supreme Court and there affirmed in an opinion of Chief Justice Fuller. The Attorney General argues that the question of revenue was de- cided in this case and that the same points of law which sustain licenses on circuses, etc, making drains on the city or commonwealth, authorizes a tax on emigrant agents.
 An early decision in this case is ex- pected and 1t will be watched with interest.

punn,a Trnde Revieyz.

New York, Nov. 25.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Retail and jobbing trade was l retarded by unseasonably mild weather and the interruption of holiday, but manufacturers extended operations as ] confidence Is strengthened by the re- ceipt of larger contracts for future de- livery. Postponed orders of all kinds are being placed, reports from every prominent industry, indicating that idle | mills are reopening and the number of operatives gradually increasing.
 Cotton spinning makes the slowest t progress, but the statistical position steadily improved as stocks of goods | diminished and the raw material de~ mills can operate profitably. Other l textile lines, footwear especially. all | branches of the iron and steel industry, are gaining steadily. 4A | Some delay Is noted in the movement of freight, while railway returns for November thus far show a gain of 6 Iper cent oyer last years gross earn ings. Foreign trade at this port for ago by $2,242.364 in value of merchan- disc exports and $1.533, 3O9 in imports Improvement in the iron and steel fn- dustries continues. orders coming for the upward trend of prices.
 Practically all lines of standard shapes are on higher level except steel rails, and there is less agitation
 
 $2S for these. Each week brings out more business from the railways. sev- eral orders of large tonnage having appeared in all leading divisions. The return of freight blockades has mate. rialized, and many deferred orders fol ear and locomotive shops are being filled. l Steel rails are resuming at rate that promises full operation in few months. Wire and kindred products are in brisk demand and even struc tura1 material is awakening from [ protracted period of lethagy. Blas' furnaces are producing larger quanti. ties of pig iron. although the move ment of fuel Is not as prompt as de- sired, because of water supply ana transportation shortages.
 Prices of wool are fully maintained at recent advances, the Eastern mar kets ruIing/quiet because of timid of. ferings.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
COLD WEATHER IS NEEDED TO
 MOVE RETAIL STOCKS.
Manufacturing is Active in Most Lines, and on Whole, Collections are Better Than They Were
 d Year ARO.

New York, Nov. 25.--Bradstreet's to- morrow will say: Cold weather Is need ed to move retail stocks of winter clothing goods and shoes, reports foI which are not brisk. On the other hand. the trade for holiday goods has begun we'll and good feeling as regards this line Is coupled with confidence as to trade in spring fabrics, whicA is proceeding better than a year ago Manufacturing industry is active in most lines the country over, winter enl- ployment in the iron and allied trades is assured, and labor is better employ ed than a year ago at this date. Hold ings by farmers is credited with af- fecting collections at several Southern points, but as 8 whole payments are better than year ago.
 The strength of manufactured prod ucts is notable. Iron and steel have been. active and strong on all lines. Pig iron shows few advances on last week, foundry irons noting gains of soc per ton. Other grades are un- changed; old material and scrap are strong and higher. Finished products have been held at the recent advances which appear to be freely paid, A further advance of wire goods is looked for December. A strong feature in connection with the iron trade is the activity in and strength of hardware in all markets. A notable feature in the heavier lines this week was the free buying of bridge material by railroads. These companies are also buying cars and plates feel this influence and also the reports of improved conditions in the shipbuilding trades. Lake builders are reported to have six months orders ahead. Some orders for rails from abroad are noted. Prices in England are advancing, but American sales be- yond January 1 are not thought to be heavy. Although the metals are strong and copper, lead and tin show only slight advances on the week.
 The strength of leather and hides with the constant slight accessions on shoe material make the situation in the shoe trade interesting. Some goods for spring are reported. but. the ad- vances of to Is cents per pair at Chi cago retards spring sales. At the East prices tend upward, forced by thes ad- vance of leather.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending November 24 num- Der 193 against 190 last week and l67 year ago. In Canada they are 31, against 24 last week and 1S a year ago.

OLDEST HOTEL IN EUROPE.
Goethe, Schiller and Bismarck, as Wei
 as Royalty, its Guests.

Goethe, Schiller and Bismarck, as Well
 as Royalty, its Guests.
 The Goldenes Kreuz (Golden Cross) at Regensburg (Ratisbon), in Bava- ria, is the oldest hotel in Europe. King Ferdinand I halted at 1t on his way to his coronation in 1531, and no other hotel in Europe possesses rec ords of such great antiquity as the Golden Cross at Ratisbon does or can boast of having had so many royal visitors as have enjoyed It's hospitality.
 The existing visitors books, which date from 1S1S, contain the names of more than 500 imperial, royal and princely personages. The room is shown where, in 1865, the late Prince Bismarck, at that time Prussian Min ister. slept when he came with his sovereign to hold the conference which was the last attempt to prevent war between Austria and Prussia. The ne- gotiations were held in the small halI' of the hotel. under the presidency of King William of Prussia.
 The host is equally proud of the autographs of Schiller and other men of letters which he possesses. The au- thor of william Tell' wrote the words, "Und cine Helmath ist es" ('It is indeed a home"), in memory of his stay there and no landlord could wish for a better advertisement.

 Petition was filed yesterday by the defendant company, averring that the company was a nonresident and plac- ing in the hands of the clerk the nec- essary transfer bond.
 It will be remembered that there were originally thirteen cases on the docket of the City Court of Montgom- cry of the Alabama Rift. Flooring Com pany against various insurance organi- cations for amounts of policies held on their plant and stock of lumber which was destroyed by inc several months the work of incendiaries and a jury was empanneled to investigate. Du- ring the taking of testimony. suspicion rested on employees of the Alabama Rift Flooring Co. No indictment was found by the last grand jury. however.
 Immediately after the report of the grand jury had been made public suits were filed against the various insu- rance companies in the City Court of Montgomery. A few days ago ten of these companies filed petition for re- moval to the United States Court. This was followed yesterday by the petition of the Pennsylvania Fire Insurance Go.
 There remains only two cases on the City Court docket. that of the Hanover Fire Insurance Go. and the Westchsster Fire Insurance Co.

during the succeeding week he will leave for the Methodist conference which will be held at Selma, Ala, dur ing the early part of December. And it is expected that Rev. Vreeland will be assigned to another station. The long connection of this preacher with the local church has won for him great esteem from both his congrega- tion and the membership of the other city churches, and 1t Is regretted that the laws of his church forbid hls re- turn here.

 The ceremonies at the monument consisted of an opening prayer the de- livery of the monument to the city by Miss Mary Clayton of the Barbour County Chapter, the response on be- half of the city by Mayor Dent and the address by Hon. B. IT. Screws of Montgomery. Captain Screws's ad- dress has been pronounced by all who heard it as superb and he most ably sustained his reputatIon as being one of the most eloquent orators in the State. He drew hearty rounds of ap- pIause at intervals and was accorded the most marked attention
 The military company fired the usual salutes and at the close the old rebel yell went up as the band played Dixie. The monument is a beautiful one and occupies pretty site at the intersec- tion of Broad and Eufaula Streets. It Is thirty-two feet high.
 Wednesday evening at Clayton Miss Addie Bell King of this city and G. W. Andrews of Clayton were married. The afair was a great surprise to their friends.

The groom stands high in the business and social circles of his home and has scores of warm friends here.
 The residence of A. B. Cumbie was badly damaged by fire yesterday about noon and but for the prompt action of the fire department would have been totally destroyed. Tho roof was burned of and other damage was done.

FIRE IN FORECASTLE
FOR TIME BRITISH BARK WAS IN
 DANGER.
Crew and wharf Faremen Succeed fl Extinwufshing the FlameU- FatheE Daley to Deliver a
 Lecture fin Pensacola.

Pensacola, Fla. Nov. 2s.--(special.)-- A fire of doubtful origin started in the forecastIe of the British bark Avoca early this morning and only by the hardest work of the crew of the vessel and the trained crew on the docks where the vessel was anchored. was the ship saved. The fire burned for three ef four hours and did considerable damage. One thousand dollars Is said to cover the losses, but it looked at one time as if the ship would have to be hauled out in mid-srteam and scuttled.
 The Avoca, which Is an iron vessel Of 1888 ttons, reached here several tasy ago from Barbadoes and took a berth at the east side of Tarragona wharf for the purpose of taking on a cargo of pitch pine lumber. She had been pretty we'll filled with cargo and would have resumed loading this morn ing had not the fire started. None but the crew appears to have been on board for ten hours previous to the fire. In- vaatigation showed that bedding of saamen was the first thing burned, and it is thought that some sailor had carelessly let fall a spark from his pipe and that the fire smoldered for hours.
 The vessel was moored very close to valuable property of the railroad conn pany, and several large ships which were lying end to end also taking cargo.
