Causes General Satisfaction.

St. Petersburg, April 12.--General Kuro- patkin's report to the emperor of the an- initiation of the Japanese detachments on the Yalu river Is matter of general satisfaction in official circles. One feat ure of the message was not pleasing tc the authorities Is the action of the hore- ans in revealing to the Japanese the pres ence of the Russians at Yonghampho and the belief prevailing here now Is that the Koreans are not so friendly to the Japa nese as has been announced.
 Incidents such as that at Yonghamphc indicate that the view held of the Korean attitude Is q mistaken one.

MIR. BANkHEAD ALSO
 TALKS OF IRREGULARITIES

Jasper April 2.-(speclal)-Joh H. Bankhead, Jr., who managed Congress man Bankhead's campaign. gave out the following statement this afternoon con- cernng Mondays primary: Complete re- turns from this county give Hobson thir- ty majority. From careful investigation l find that about 400 republicans voted in this county and practically all of them were for Hobson.
 ITO show the extent of the republican activity 1 call attention to the fact that two straight republicans have been nom- mated for justice of the peace, and one of them such an extreme republican that he would not vote in the primary. At another box a republican was elected as a member of the democratic executive committee. Such nominations could be brought about by only two conditions, one a trade by the Hobson men for their votes, the other that the republican vote pre- dominated.
 'I have reliable information that near ly one-half the vote of Fayette county was cast by populists and republicans who have never before participated with the democratic party. If they have joined the democratic party In good faith then some good has been done by the appeal to them In Hobson's interest. Information from every county shows that Bankhead's ma jority in the district will be nearly a thousand"

 I say Hobson can carry the district 2 to 1 under the rules laid down by the state committee.
 There are men at many places in this county who wanted to vote and were not allowed this privilege by the managers and county committees, many of whom were honest ard upright citizens, who would have lived religiously up to their obligations. But for this arbitrary ruling of the county committee Walker would have given 800 majority for Hobson.'

MUSGROVE WHO MANAGED
 FOR R. P. ROBSON TALKS

L. B. Musgrove, chairman of Captain Richmond Pearson 4obsons campaign committee. was in Birmingham last night and discussed the result in the Sixth dis trict at length. He does not concede that Bankhead has been elected, but says ''he will probably get the nomination by the use of the machine" 2" MT. Musgrove complains of many Irregularities and says that he thinks Hobson Is really the choice of the qualified voters of the district. He is here awaiting fuller returns with a view of considering a contest.
 Captain Hobson," if defeated, said MT. Musgrove, was not defeated by the votes of the district but by the machine which used every known method to bring in majorities against Hobson.
 'I thought when the constitutional con- yention disfranchised the negro, that we were at least to have fair and honest elections and primaries between white men, but the election in the Sixth dis trict has convinced me to the contrary. know that Hobson could carry the Sixth district ? to l over Bankhead, provided there had been an honest primary, conducted under the rules of the Sldle committee put when they naC a committee in Walker that said only red headed democrats could vote, and such rules were allowed to prevail, 1t was easy for the machine to control and dictate terms and nomina- tions. and this has been the case in the Sixth district. I designate the action of the machine and county committees as an outrage.
 All Rules Changed.
 'They have undertaken to change all rules in order to help certain candidates. I saw Bankhead's leaders encouraged and abetted by his son John who led men to the polls and voted them for Bankhead, and these same heelers challenged many decent and reputable citizens, and forced them to sign written pledges before they would be allowed to vote.

Congressional Contests.

There were four districts in the state in which there were contests, the Second the Fifth, the Sixth and the Seventh. A. A. Wiley has unquestionably secured the renomination in the Second district, al- though for a time the result was in doubt
 Several candidates entered the lists in the Fifth, but all indications point to the nomination of MT. Hefin by safe mar gin. In the Sixth the contest between Capt. R. P. Hobson and Col. J. H. Bank head has been one of the most spirited and vigorous ever conducted in the state Every inch of the ground has been fought and the returns show Colonel Bankhead to have been renominated by safe vote
 J. l.. Burnett will succeed himself in the Seventh, although the friends of J. D. Lusk, his opponent. were confident at one time that they would succeed in us- seating MT. Burnett. The joint debates held by the contestants throughout the district attracted attention in all parts of the state.

Sayre of Montgomery and John c. An derson of Marengo as associate judges of the Alabama supreme court. This was indicated in The Age-Herald of yester- and later reports confirm 1t. In some sections of the state MT. Simpson of Lau- derdale. MT. Kelley of Calhoun and Judge Thorington of Tuscaloosa boiled a heavy vote. Prominent lawyers say the ticket nominated will give Alabama one of the most able supreme court bodies ever assembled in any state in the United States. As little attention was paid to this race in the excitement incident to local contests during the early count 1t IS impossible to give anything like accurate figures on the supreme court contest
