AMBITION IS LACKING.
Houses's Day is Dull and Pros
 aic


 aic.
 Washington, Feb. 1.-The animation of yesterday was completely lacking in the proceedings of the House to-day. The principal feature of the day was the rivalry between Republican leaders for the honor of moving an adjournment. The diplomatic and consular appropria- tion bill had been disposed of, and Chair man Hit, in charge of the measure, left early, as did Mir. Payne. the floor leader. Mir Hit requested MT. Dalzell to watch things" and move to adjourn when the proper time came. MT. Payne met Mir Grosvenor in the corridor on going out and asked him to watch things" and move to adjuorn, Several bills were passed by unanimous consent after the diplomatic bill had been disposed of and after which Mir. Dalzell tried to make the adjournment motion.
 He finally was recognized by the Speak CT and had the motion on his tongues end when Mir. Grosvenor. with a twin kle in his eye, bound to his feet and frantically addressed the chair.
 For what purpose does the gentleman arise?" queried Speaker Cannon T wished to move that the House ad- journ," demurely replied Mir Grosvenor. His motion prevailed
 The diplomatic bill carrying $1,99s, 600, was passed without amendment Every thing but the bill was discussed during it's consideration.

NEGROES IN JURY BOX
DALLAS COUNTY IS AROUSED
 OVER THE MATTER.
Both Sides of the ouesuon Has Its Advocates and the Discussion Approaches Bitterness-The
 News of Selma.
Advertiser Bureau,

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Feb. {.
 The intense interest aroused by the statement in The Advertiser of today placed in the jury box of Dallas County is not whit abated, and the discussion of the matter on the streets today ap- preached bitterness. Many, citizen have expressed the opinion that the Jury Commission has so egregiously blundered as to nullify the effects of the great strug- gle for white supremacy that has had the attention of Alabama Democracy since the war.
 The objection to the act of the Jury Commission is in most instances based upon the argument that 1t was an unnec- essary surrender of point for which the white people ot the county have done battle during the most momentous de- cades in the history of the State It is urged that notwithstanding the decision of the Federal Supreme Court the issue could have been avoided for time at least, and that in any event. the ruling should have been tested by this county before what IS regarded as a precipitate movement was taken.
 Not since the reconstruction has negro sat as q juror in Dallas County, nor has it been possible for many years. The gradual elimination of the negro from legislative and judicial walks of citizen- ship and finally his removal from the electorate. 1t Is said today, have been the tedious work of the Democratic party in Dallas County. and the report that the Jury Commission has with undue haste revived even portion of the terror of negro rule Is galling to some who have not forgotten the years that followed the war.
 Upon the other hand, it Is urged that without the action taken by the commits sion. the recent ruling by the United States Supreme Court in the case of Rog- CTS vs. Alabama, would have annihilated the force of every indictment found by any court of the county and te all ip every decree or sentence issuing from the bar of justice in criminal cases. It Is said that a member of the Jury Com mission has prepared a communication defensive of the stand taken by the com- mission

The Selma Infarmary.

The publication Of the leasing of the pay department of the Selma fnfirmary from the United Charities by two young ladies of this city has caused misap- prehension in the mind of the public that the United Charities Society has aban. doned it's philanthropic work connected with the hospital. The society continues to operate the free wards of the hospital and to dispense rations, medicines aud other necessary articles to those in want, and the leasing of the pay department has practically had no effect upon the charity of the society.
