Candidacy of MT. Smith.

In an interview Yesterday Hon. John Y. Smith, candidate for a second term as President of the Alabama Railroad Com mission said:
 II have just returned from a careful and personal canvas of quite a number of counties in North Alabama and in the Tennessee Valley. and the situation there is highly pleasing to me and I will have a very strong following in every one of these counties.
 ''I have also made a thorough and per- sonal canvas o3 quite a number of coun- ties In East and South Alabama, the re- suit of which was very gratifying. I ind my old friends throughout the State generally, and more especia ly in the Third District, strong and enthusiastic in my behalf. In fact the race for Presi- tween me and the other candidates in nearly every county In the State.
 The conservative element in the State is lining up behind me. The policy of the present Commission to reduce the freight rates in Alabama by gradual process, so that no wrong or injustice shall be done to the people or the rail- roads, meets with the hearty endorse ment and support of the conservative ele' ment.
 While the local rates In Georgia on some classes are lower than in Alabama, 1 the local rates in Florida are psrceptibly are higher ic Mississippi than in Alabama. ! The same local rate that prevails on the Louisville and Nashville In Alabama. also prevails in Tennessee and Kentucky. , While 1 am willing to piedge the peo. pie Of Alabama to reduce freight rates yet it must be remembered that the law provides that in revising rates that the railroads must be permitted to yield a fair and just return upon the, value of their property It's appurtenanees and equipments To do more than this would necessarily result in the reduction in the wages of the thousands of railroad employees In Alabama and stop all rail- road development in this State. The re- ductIon in the freigat rates in Alabama during ny administration will approxi- mate three hundred thousand dollars an- nually
 Tt Is far better for the business com munities. the people and the railroads of the State that policy of conservatism shor a -evau than that a radical ex- , Ire e ard partisan policy should be ado d which the courts o: the land mIgNt - called upon to enjoin feel a he confident nP nnu ranoOIfna riO0

DEADLOCK AT SPRINGFIELD.


Springfield, ILL.,, May 16.-It looked
last night as If there would be at least
another day of fruitless balloting be-
fore the gubernatorial deadlock in the
republican state convention Ia broken.
1t is known definitely that desperate
efforts are being made to take from
the Yates column enough delegates to
nominate Lowden. There Is now no
probability that a dark horse" will
be chosen. Indeed, the choice is gen.
orally regarded as being between
Yates, Lowden and Deneen. So far
what is known as the federal crowd"
headed by Senators Cullom and Hop
kins, Speaker Cannon and a number
of congressman, has exerted but little
influence in attempts to break the
deadlock.

his baptism of fire. To fight with the

progress Of the Japanese in southern
Manchuria is reported in the oflcia
dispatches given out last night The
position of the division which is fol-

also apparent in the operations on the

Japanese are seeking to render them
selves secure in the western section OF
the peninsula and in the vicinity OF

the operations which have been

Nothing official has been given out
regarding the raid Of cossacks at

the far east as Mandaritoff, Of whose
force the raiding cossacks were said to
form part.

sci, the Russian commander there, was
then daily expecting the cutting of

ported that everything was ready to

prise at the fact that the enemy had
delayed so long He said the fortress
was practically impregnable, adding
that there was a triple row Of forts
around the Port Arthur glacis, each
position being fronted by moat with
q hedge Of barbed wire beyond with
bomb-proofs behind all the batteries.
The oficer further declared that they
had plenty Of supplies and ammunition
and that the garrison was in excellent
spirits and confident Of being able to
hold for nine months or year against
any number OF the enemy. even II
they possessed siege. guns. Gen.
Kuropatkin offered Gen. Stoessel rein-
