Uniforms and equipment for the entire National Guard of the state have arrived and will be issued to the men at the Birmingham encampment which opens on July IS. There are khika uniforms for every soldier, including the new Birming- ham crowd which will be mustered into the Second regiment at Birmingham to- night
 1t is quite likely that there will be no change in the date of the encampment as was discussed last week. Some thought the date set too early for the commands to get ready, but as transportation has been largely arranged 1t is not thought

Company Shuts Down Plate Mill
Rather Than Raise Employees
Wages.
Union That Had Formerly Stood
by the Company Will Not

Ruling.

Chicago, Jan. So.-The South Chicago
Steel Railway mills, which were
scheduled to open Monday morning,
will not do so. Instead the plate min
has been shut down, throwing 800 men
out of employment.
The shutdown Of the plate mill is
said to be due to a demand Of officers
of the Machinists' Union for a confer
ence with the officials Of the company
today relative to reduction in the
wages Of the maehinists. The machin-
lists accepted the cut under protest and
a strike was threatened unless con
ference was granted and the wages re-
stored. In answer the company an
nounced the closing Of the plate mill.
The skilled stool workers in the rail
mill, who were formerly members q
the Amalgamated Association Of steel,
iron and tin workers. and who We're
suspended for loyalty to the company
two years ago when they refused to
strike on the order of President shaf-
fer decided at their last meeting that
they would not accept the proposed re-
duction. AS result the mill win NOT

TO PROTECT SMALL TRADERS.
Germany's Congress Would Place
Curb ON Great Accommodations Of
Capital Among Retailers.

Berlin, Dec 3.-The reichstag has
adopted resolution asking the gov
ernment to introduce a bill for the
protection of the middle commercial
classes against great accumulations Of
capital in the retail trade. The reso-
luton contemplates further extension
of the law against unfair competition
and the regulation Of closing out sales
so as to prevent bogus advertisements
and also seeks remedy against the
hardships caused by sales on the in
stallment plan. Finally the resolution
demands the prohibition Of govern
ment officials, including army and
navy officers, from running co-opera-
tive department stores. The socialists
opposed the resolution at every point
as being an inadequate measure and
as tending to hinder natural economic
tendencies.

THINK NIssEN HAS persisted.
ChIcaEOans Do Not Expect to See
Inventor who Started Across
Lake In Rolling Balloon.

Chicago, Dec Peter Nissen is be-
lieved to have either smothered OF
frozen to death in his rolling balloon,
"Foolkiller," in which he started for
a trip across the lake yesterday. The
opinion that Nissen was lost became
general when 1t was found that after
"a hours there was still absolutely no
word from the inventor who some
years ago shot the whirlpool rapids OF
Niagara falls in a barrel. He has not
been sighted by any vessel.
Possibility of Nissen's smothering to
death was considered more definitely
when it was learned that his only
supply of air was that pumped into the
"Fo6lkiller" before the craft was
launched. 1t was said by Nissen's
brothers, however, that the navigator
had computed his air supply carefully
and figured that it would last him for
a great number of hours.

OPENED BALLOT BOX.
Colorado SupreHs Court Frying into
Recent Election Methods.
CLARINC DISCREPANCIES REVEALED.
In the Opened Box Were 325 Tickets,
Whereas the Clerks Had Certi-
ned 372-Repubilcan Ballots
Mixed with Democratic.

Denver, Col, Dec. 3.-Hearing In
contempt cases growing out Of alleged
violations Of injunction writs issued
previous to the recent election was
resumed In the supreme court yester-
day. The men charged in the cases
on trial are John Sullivan, democratic
committeeman in precinct 8 of the
Fifth ward; s. S. Barker, William
Reid, Willis e. Spencer, election
Judges, and Charles W. Branch and
John e. Dixon, election clerks. The
substance Of the charge against the
men is that they conspired to steal
the election In the precinct in which
they served by stuffing the ballot box;
that they drove out the republican
election officers, refused to appoint q
republican clerk of election and inter-
fered with supreme court watchers.
Chief Justice Gabbert ordered the
ballot box brought into court and
opened. The clerk of the court count
ed 1876 ballots in the box. The returns
made by the election officials and GER
titled by the elections commission IN
the official canvass was 372. 1t Is
claimed that number Of ballots placed
in the box were not those of legal
voters and the court appointed two
handwriting experts to examine the
ballots. They will determine which,
II any, are fraudulent and will report
to the court. 1t was also developed
during the counting Of the ballots that
there was a discrepancy between the
amount of straight republican votes
returned by the election officials and
the number disclosed when the box
was opened yesterday. The court
found 116 of this description, whereas,
the returns showed 70. A number OF
straight republican votes were found
mixed with the bunch Of straight
democratic ballots" and the inference
is made that they were counted as
such.
