Leaders
Framing up to Defeat
Both Parker and
Hearst.

Washington, D. c., June 9.-The
Democratic leaders of the east have
begun to discuss what the New York
Democratic delegation will do in case
it becomes apparent that Judge Park
err cannot be nominated As the selec-
ton OF delegates to the Democratic
national convention continues the
probability increases that neither
Parker nor Hearst will be able to Sc
cure the presidential nomination. but
that a compromise will have to be eff
fected on some new man.
Thus tar thirty-four states and terri
tories have held conventions. Ken
lucky and Colorado hold conventions
today, and Virginia and Delaware will
come later in the week. About the
only states with big delegations still
to hold conventions are Illinois. Mis-
souri, and Texas.
Out of 644 delegates thus far chos.
en-. two-thirds of the entire number,
Parker has 1874 who are known to be
for him, and Hearst has 1876 There
are 80 for other candidates, including
olney, Wall and German, and 234 are
uninstructed and unknown.
Both Parker and Hearst viii un.
d%oubtedly get a considerable number
of the uninstructed and unknown del
egates. but the indications are that
neither can get the necessary two
thirds to nominate. Hearst is the tar
get Of the Cleveland Democracy and
more than a third Of the delegates will
never consent to Hearst's nomination
Parker likewise is the target of the
Bryan Democrats, and there will be
plenty Of them in the st. Louis con-
vention to prevent the nomination Of
the New York jurist.
And here is where Bryan, German
and other leaders who are not TIED
to either Parker or Hearst r likely
to get together and name the Demo
cratic candidate for president. There
is a m that German and Bryan
are willing to unite on Judge Gray
of Delaware, but Judge Gray has a fac
tional hght in his own little state, and
if he wins it his state is too small to
amount to much.
Gorr.an has also been said to be in
a combine to bring about the nomlna
ton of Mayor Mcclellan of New York
after it becomes evident that Parker
is out OF the race, but this he denies.

NV OELAwAas LAND RuLEs.
How Agents Must Appraise Value OF
the improvements.

Muskosee, l.. r. June 9.-rho Dawes
commission and the Indian agent have
been advised as to the rules under
which they will act relative to the
appraisement of improvements on
100000 acres of land belonging to
Delaware Indians. The rules order the
agent to make a personal inspection
of all Improvements He is to con
slider only the value OF the actual inn
provements and must NOT consider
any possible oil or mineral value.
Persons who have improvements are
allowed to lease upon the approval
of the agent and the agent is thereby
practically given the power to lease
the entire 100000 acres Of land. The
leases must be short and are made
with the idea OF protecting growing
crops.
The instructions to the Dawes com
mission arc that the Delawares must
be given preference at the Cherokee

families must be so notified at once
by registered letter. The commission
is also ordered that in case a contest
is filed upon a Delaware allotment,
the Delawares must be so notified at
once and the contest shall be advanc-
ed upon the docket for an early hear
ing If a Delaware fails to sell his inn
provements within six months, the
land will be thrown open to allotment

the lands that are certified by the
Dawes commission to be the rightful
property of the allottee in question
The commission cannot certify to the
right of an allottee until after nine
months contest time has elapsed aft

Reconstruction Debts.

Recalling the fact that the debts so called of southern states repudiated about twenty-five years now amount, principal and interest, to fully two hundred million dollars; recalling, too, the fact that South Dakota has found a way to render such debts legally recognizable, Senator Foster of Louis lana finds grounds of alarm in the new arbitration treaties that the govern ment is Dusily engaged in negotiating. Those treaties are specially designed for the settlement of monetary diff ferences," and Senator Foster inti- mates that behind them stands ring of European capitalists who have bought for song repudiated southern bonds, and who will utilize them to force payment in part or in whole.
 It seems almost incredible that at tempts would be made to enforce pay ment of the rotten reconstruction debts, but nothing Is impossible in tho minds of promoters and speculators. It is known that the repudiated bonds have been gathered in by capitalists, and 1t is not at all improbable that they will work every scheme and av- enue to get money on them. A New York lawyer discusses the subject in the December number of the North American Review. The supreme court Is known to favor the enforcement of almost any plan that will lead to col. lection. Before endorsing the arbitra. tion treaties we should at least hesi. tate, and our representatives should see that they are amended in way that will preclude their becoming in
 struments for the collection of the car petbag bonds for which no value was received by the people of the south.

A poa Like Buster Rrown,a.

My little four-year-old boy has issued bulletin to the effect that he wants Santa Claus to fetch him a dog like Bus ter Browns" said Walter Sessions. He first decided that he wanted a Victor graphophone-the sort that had the big. ldnd-looking dog standing near by. When told that the dog did not go with the ghaphophone, and that 1t was only an ad- vertisement, the little fellow was sorely disappointed.
 He made an offer to compromise the matter if Santa Claus would bring him a dog that could bark and run and play pranks like Buster Browns He wanted real dog not dummy or make-be- lleve.
 "The little fellows mother has prom lsed to get the graphophone and now it's up to me to find a dog like Buster Browns. Nothing short of this will sat isfy the anticipations of the small boy"

The Greatest Fact.

The commercial success Of steel mak- ing at Ensley is the greatest fact record ed of the industrial life of the BIrming- ham district said flnancier. because 1t is a fact that means the stability and the future greatness of Birmingham.
 While the Tennessee eompany's steel making was in the experimental stage many skeptical people were inclined to think that steel could not be produced with commercial economy. But the steel plant is beyond the experimental stage. It is an assured success. The rails are not only of high grade, but they are pro- duced with a fair profit to the company. They are in brisk demand and if the Ten nessee doubles It's capacity every rail will be soldn

GERMAN VESSELS
 WILL HAUL LUMBER

Washington December F.-some ques- tions relating to the construction or the fPanama canal were brought to the atten- ton of President Roosevelt today. Repre- sentatives Humphreys and Jones or Washington called at the state house to lodge a protest with the President against the shipping of lumber from the Puget Sound territory to the canal zone in Ger man vessels. The President was informed that the Panama commission had made contract in Washington for 6OoO,OOO feet of lumber and that all of this lumber was to be shipped to the canal strip in Ger man hottoms to the absolute exclusion of American vessels, which were lying in Puget sound waiting for business.
 Representative Humphrey, who Is a member of the merchant marine commis- sion, told the President that forty Ameri, can ships were lying idle in the waters of Washington.
 Bids had been submitted by both Ameri- can and German vessel owners. They did not vary materially as to price, but the German vessels were willing to carry the lumber in broken cargoes while the American vessels wanted full cargoes. The contract had been awarded to the German ships of the Cosmos steamship line. The Presidents callers felt that tho awarding of the contract to German ves- sells was a discrimination against Ameri- can shipping. which, in his opinion. ought not to be sanctioned. The President prom ised to look into the subj ct,
 Later in the day Admiral Walker. president of the Panama canal commits sion, called on the President and told him that the commission had made It's contract with the Bellingham-Bay Lum- Der company for delivery on the canal strip and that the commission had noth- ing whatever to do with the contract made for shipping the lumber from Puget sound to Panama.

APPEAL MADE FOR
 THE POOR ORPHANS

The following circular letter will be read in all the Catholic churches today:
 Mobile, Ala, December B. 1904
 Dear Rev. Father: The Christmas season reminds us of the duty we owe to the orphans, whom God has intrusted to our care. In reflecting upon their needs and dependant condition, we are remind ed of our Sayior's words: "The poor you have always with you."-Matt xvi, H.
 Thanks to to God, your charity has never failed in the past to supply their pressing wants, and we look to you with cofdence to come to their aid in the same generous spirit this year. The inspired Word of God tells us: Tt Is more blessed to give than to receive,' and He that showeth mercy to the poor shall be blessed" They shall have their reward laid up for them in the kingdom of heaven.
 The noble work which the two asy- lums in Mobile, and the one in Birming- ham, are doing for the waif and the orphan should elicit not only your sym pathy but what is more practical, your generous support These helpless children are precious in the sight of God and 1T they are lost through our wilful neglect we will be held accountable for them before the judgment seat of God "lt IS not the will of your Father, who IS Tn heaven, that one of these little ones should perish" Matt xxviii. IA. Goa mas blessed many with prosperity this year, and as an act of gratitude they should cheerfully share His gracious bounty with our homeless children.
 The giving. of aims Is a duty imposed by God, and Is therefore not to be neg lected. "rhere will not be wanting poor in the land of thy habitation; there fore I command thee to open thy hand to thy needy and poor brother that liveth in the land" Deut. KY, II. This com- mand does not refer merely to those who enjoy a superabundance of riches but to all in greater or less degree. Those who have an Abundance should give in abundance; those who have less should give in proportion to their means. Let all. therefore, remembering the love of Jesus Christ for little children, contri- bute generously this year.
 May the peace of Christ and all his bles- sings be with you and your flock during this holy season. 1 am. dear Rev. Fa- ther, Sincerely yours,
 EDWARD P. ALLEN,
 Bishop of Mobile.

Cnmlnn Senatorial Fluhts.

Although many senators are to bt elected this winter, yet only two oi the senatorial contests will be inter esting enough to attract the attention of the entire country. The two inter esting events will take place in New York and Wisconsin.
 In New York the house of Wander bilt succeeded in utilizing the United States senate as a retired list, and Chauncey M. Depew was placed on it. He has no standing as a senator. He is simply on the retired list. He had become a millionaire, has a young wife, and he desires a seat in the sen ate as a child wants a toy. Governor Odell, who is now the head of the ma chine in New York, thinks one term enough for that purpose, and he pro poses to retire MT. Depew, putting in his seat ex-Governor Black. The re- ported determination of Thomas c. Platt to resign next spring may change the Odell programme, but if 1t does not 1t is pretty safe to say that MT. Depew is serving his final months in the senate.
 In Wisconsin the SpoonerQ Quarles machine was hopelessly showed un- der. Governor Lafollette controls all the machinery of the republican party in that state, and he Is about to re- move Senator Quarles' scalp as a preparation for taking that of John c. Spooner a little later. It is believed Governor Lafollette has designated himself as Spooner's successor. Whom he will select to succeed MT. Quarles Is not clearly shown as yet. Mr. Quarles will not be his own successor, that is certain. The revolt against the senatorial ring Is deep and de- cisive. That ring was opposed to the primary system and it stood in with the railroads, and the voters crushed it at the polls. Governor Lafollette Is remarkable example of fighter who nas successfully fought modern re- publican ring.

While some of us do not like MT. Mansneld's S personal characteristics, we all pay hom- age to his art. and as one of his enthus- iastic admirers remarked .he other day, Mansfield has genius enough to do as he pleases in private life
 Ever since the theatrical season opened here remarks have been going the rounds concerning the arrival of MT. Mansfield, and now that the season Is well advanced there is much speculation as to the play that he will present in Birmingham when he appears here early in the new year. At present Mir. Mansfield is playing a repertoir which includes Ivan the Ter lible,' old Heidelberg, and number of his other successes. He may play Ivan the Terrible in Birmingham. but this is only a surmise. believe this play would be the one that we would prefer to wit ness
 Devoted theatregoers are already spec ulating about the possibility of getting good seats, and the trouble they will have to take in order not to let somebody else reach the box office first, and from all indications the appearance of MT. Mansfield is awaited with much inter- est"
