BURKE DEMANDS
 OFFICE IN PULLMAN
JUDGE FULLER REFUSES TO SUR RENDER AND QUO WARRANTO
 PROCEEDINGS ARE INSTITUTED,
 .HlcH GO TO SUPREME COURT.

Cullman, November 21.7-tspecial9-Rob- ert I. Burke, the newly elected probate judge of Cullman county received ms commission this morning and at once de- manded the office of Judge s. l.. Fuller the present incumbent. Judge Fuller re- fused to surrender the office holding that under the law he had right to hold un- til the third day of November 1905.
 MT. Burke through his attorney, J. B. Brown, will file today a quo warranto proceeding against Judge Fuller in the circuit court. demanding possession of the office This seems to be the first case to come up in the state though several more are expected to develop in a few days. The law Is very vague on the sub ject as to when the newly elected officials take charge of office though 1t is the general opinion that the intention of the law that officers take charge as soon as they are elected and qualified
 The quo warranto proceedings will be heard by Judge Speake in a few days, and will be carried at once to the su- preme court which under the law must give a decision within fifteen days after the proceeding was begun. An interest ing feature of the Cullman affair is the fact that Asa B. Fuller. son of Judge s. L. Fuller and the present probate clerk was elected clerk of the circuit court. In the light of the position his father has taken it Is interesting to know just what he will do in reference to his own office. He has as yet made no demand on MT. wypteaoinfwyppmfwy on MT. O. s. Boden, the present clerk.

TAFT SLATED TO

BELIEVED THAT PRESIDENT CON- TEMPLATES APPOINTING HIM
 CHIEF JUSTICE OF SUPREME
 coURT-FULLER'S HEALTH BAD

Washington, November 21.-(Special)- The official announcement that w. II. Moody Is to remain in the cabinet as attorney general practically completes the Presidents new official family. It is hoped by the administration that Secre- tary of the Interior Hitchcock will be elected senator from Missouri so that there will be an opportunity to declare vacancy in his position without embar- rassment.
 The cabinet will stand as follows
 Secretary of state, John Lay; secretary of war, William H. Taft; secretary of the navy, Paul Morton; attorney general William H. Moody; postmaster general. George B. Cortelyou; secretary of agri- culture James Wilson; secretary of the interior. --; secretary of commerce and labor, Victor H. Metcalf.
 No southern man win get cabinet po- sition. The President, even if he were disposed to appoint southerner to such position, could find no available south ern republican,
 Secretary Taft Is slated to succeed Chief Justice Fuller on the supreme bench Jus tice Fuller has broken much in health since the death of his wife some months ago. He has already passed the retir- ing age limit, but all chief justices of the court have remained on the bench until death.

HOT FIGHTING CONTINUES
 AROUND LONE TREE HILL

Berlin. November 21.-A dispatch to the Lokal Anzeiger from Mulxden under to- day s date says:
 ''The reconnaissance fights have as- stunned more violent character during the past few days. Particularly hot was the fighting on Poiutiloff Clone Tree hilD. where the Japanese were repulsed with the loss of over 100 killed All signs indi- cate that great events are imminent. The road to Sinmintin, owing to the excellent patrol service, is quite safe from Chinese bandits thus guaranteeing uninterrupted communication with Tien Tsin and estab- fishing a second line of intercourse with the outside world.
 "The health of the troops Is excellent. The Russians admire the cleanliness, per- feet order and equipment of the Japanese. One does not see any trace of race hatred.

MOB IS FORMING TOLYNCH NEGROES Lexington Situation Has Grown
 More Serious ONE COMPANY Is CALLED Extra Police Are on Duty In All Parts of the City to Disperse Any
 Persons Who Con-
 sregate.

Lexington, Ky, November 2.-At 10:45 o'clock tonight the prospect of a mob which had formed on the outskirts of the city attacking the jail in which Gar field Smith, Ed Taylor and John Fay Tor are confined, was so pronounced that county Judge Bullock advised that the military be called out.
 Constables and deputy sheriffs to the number of 50 had already been put on guard at the Jail, and all the day police have been called from their homes to reinforce the night force The authorities decline to give out the information that has come from the mob, but they are in touch with the movement and regard the situation as grave. Sunday night. the negroes who are now in jail, started out on an expedition to kill white dogs" Entering Luigart's saloon they opened fire upon .s company of white men who were strangers to them. Will Morse was shot dead as he was crouching behind barrels, others escaped though bullet holes marked their places of refuge. Last right a mob of 300 formed and advanced on the jail after midnight, but were per suaded to disperse when informed that the police were aware of their plans.
 Calls Company Into Service. At Il o'clock tonight Colonel Williams of the Second regiment called Company c into service. Runners are being sent for the soldiers in all parts or the city' County Judge Bullock Is at the jail with the chief of police. detectives and sherlts' directing precautionary means. The po- lice learned that the mob was forming ] in three sections, one in Gratz park, an- other in Brucetown and the third out side the city on the Bryant station pike. | At II o'a;ocl platoon of police advanced on a crowd of 300 at Gratz park. The men offered no resistance. but dispersed in all were captured and locked up. The police dispersed groups of men wherever they collected in the downtown districts.

.CH|CAGO SUBWAY IS GREAT ENTERPRISE New Company Has Cash Cap ltaI of $50,0O0,000 TO USE FREIGHT TUNNELS Present system VIII Be Greatly Ex. tended and Enlarged for the
 Handling of Downtown
 Freight Traffic.
TO USE FREIGHT TUNNELS

Chicago, November 21.-The Chicas sO Subway company with cash stock of $50000,000 and composed of men who rep resent 90 per cent of the railroads hav- ing Chicago terminals, was organized to- day and took over the yo0.0000O0 company here which has built fifteen miles of freight tunnels under the citys streets. The vast tonnage of the railroads repre- sented by the hnanciers in the new cor poration will be diverted into the com- pany's tunnels, which are already under every street in the business district of Chicago.
 Apparently, in connection with the mamoth deal Sir Ernest Casset, the financial adviser of the King of England, was in Chicago today with Jacob Schiff head of the international banking house of Kuhn. Loeb x Co.,, who is heavily in- terested.
 Men who will enter the directory of the new corporation are Edward H. Harri- man. the principal factor of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific and big factor in the Alton and Illinois Central railroads; James Stilman, president of the National City bank of New York, and a factor In the control over large numbers of great eastern and western sys- tems, notably the Chicago and North western, and Chicago. Milwaukee and
  New York. a member of the Wall Street firm of Kuhn. Loeb and company, and q big factor in the Pennsylvaonia sys- tenn.
 MT sehiff. accompanied by Sir Ernest Casset and a party of other English fi- nanciers, was escorted by President AL bert T. Wheeler of the tunnel company today through the great systems of un- derground bores.
 faonp tba foreiQp T1pu1b Of fha Dar- ty was Sir Robert Fleming of London, one of the most prominent bankers in England.
 The subway company has taken over 1t is officially announced the entire stock of the Illinois Telephone Construction company. 6s 2-3 per cent of the stock of the 30,0OO GOO Illinois Tunnel company and stands ready to take over all re- maining stock of the tunnel company at the terms on which l. acquired the two-thirds.
 The Illinois company will remain tho home operating corporation, but owned by the Chicago Subway company of New Jersey.
 The deal guarantees the immediate use of the tunnels by the railroad interests Chicago from the present congestion in terminal railroads in the downtown dis trict
 The new owners will extend and im- prove the system and as far as possible the steam railroad freight of the Harri- man-stillman-S -Schiff and other trunk rail- roads will be transported through the un- derground system.

It Is a fact that the Japanese return through French intermediation all valu- ables found on dead Russians. This has made deep impression here, and is re- ciprocated.
 St. Petersburg, November 21.-General Kuropatkin, telegraphing under yester- days date, reports a daring deed accomp- lished by four volunteers of a Russian na- trol November 16. While reconnoitering the patrol discovered Chinese building occupied by twenty-five Japanese Four rffiemen volunteered to blow up the place and armed with grenades loaded with pyroxyln, the riflemen succeeded in evad- ing the sentries, placed the grenades and retired undetected
 few minutes later the grenades ex- ploded and completely wrecked the build ing. When Japanese endorsements ar rived they found all the occupants dead or wounded among the ruIns.
