 Took Up His Navy Bill.
 Captain Hobson then took up his naval bill and grew eloquent in showing what an effect such navy would have on the other powers He urged that 1t would eventually result in international peace and America would be considered the greatest and most merciful nation in all the world. He showed that by preserving our interest in China it would open a great market for cotton and by educating the people of that country up to 50 cent wage instead of cent wage 1t would have the effect of giving the people of the south % or 30 cents a pound for their cotton.
 He explained that his naval bill If passed would not increase the taxation as is did not provide for the entire amount in one year nor in twenty years, but that the gradual increase would be in proportion to the increase in population and the peo- pie would not feel 1t. He told how Bank head had always voted against such bills and that if his counsel had prevailed the Spanish American war would not have been mere skirmish but would have en- tailed an expense upon the people which would have kept them licking revenue stamps the Dalance Ol lHeii iiNco- iie said the duties of legislator must be na' tional as well as local and that BanShead could not afford to ignore these greai questions
 Would Begin at Home.
 Referring to Colonel Bankheads state ment about his going to Washington and defeating all the congressman opposed to his bill Captain Hobson said that of the SS7 to be defeated he would begin at home and that Bankhead would be the first one of the lot to fall. This remark brought forth loud applause. The naval officer closed with a pretty peroration on the country's merciful deed to Cuba and the defeated Spaniaros and again made plea for his naval bill. When Captain Hobson had concluded It was o'clock and the crowd began leaving the hall. Seeing it was too late Colonel Bankhead made no attempt at a reioinder The two speakers meet in Favette, Fayette county, Colonel Bank heads home Monday morning at 1C o'clock. After that they do not meet again until week from Monday when the debate will be continued in Tuscaloosa.
 Neither Bankhead nor Hobson will gc to Montgomery Tuesday to attend the meeting of the state executive commit tee which is to pass on the question of putting Captain Hobson's name on tn, ticket.
 When asked about the matter Colone Panbhead said that he could not attend Captain Hobson replied, "ryo sir. am ur here on important business and I haven't time"

 Much Is Accomplished
 for Peace.
BANDITS ARE MORE ACTIVE

Paris. March 5.-The official view in Paris does not share the opinion which is said to prevail in Washington and Berlin that the threatening Russophobic atti- tude of the Chinese generala Ma and Yuan Shi Kai, commander in chief, may lead to a branch of China's neutrality and compel France to take action in behalf of Russia. Reports in Paris confirm those which have reached Washington and oth-. CT capitals tnat the Chinese troops are showing much activity in northern China and along the Manchurfan border.
 They also indicate that bands of Chi nese brigands are taking advantage of the present oportunity to resume their depre- dations and raids through Manchuria, but the officers in Paris say it is a mistake to connect such action of irregular Chi nese forces with the action of the Chinese government. The positive and definite purpose of the Frence authorities is to deal only with the government of China and not to consider lawless acts of vari- ous Irresponsible military bodies.
 Will Not Cause Clash.
 It Is not expected that Japan's intention to build the Seoul and Wiju railroad will cause any serious clash with the owners of the early French concessions. The original concession was granted to French company in 1896. Later the con cesson was modified so that the road was to be built by French engineers and with French material. It is fully recog- nzed that the private interests and con- sessions may suffer through the exigen- cies of the war, but in case French rights are impaired, it is expected Japan or Korea will give adequate indemnihcation.
