SEEKING CONGRESSMAN IN THE
SOUTH.


The understanding in Washington
seems to be that It's the programme
of the Republicans, in so far as the
congressional elections are concerned,
to put candidate in the field in every
congressional district, with the hope
of getting a few Republican members
from the South, either by popular vote
or in contests to be inaugurated in the
House wherever there is the remotest
chance for success.
1t is reported that the President, a
few days ago, said to delegation of
Southern Republicans who called upon
him., that the Republicans should make
a fight in every congressional district.
and he denounced vigorously the
apathy and indifference which had
marked the conduct OF Republicans in
the South in congressional elections
during the past few years.
There is also report in circulation
ern states in which the negroes have
a ballot, they are registering in great
err numbers than for many years past.
There may be something in this report
and there may not. AS far as we have
been informed neither in this nor in
making a special effort to register
that is, a greater effort than in pre-
vious elections
One of the Republican leaders, Jud-
son Lyons. Is credited with saying that
the Southern Republicans would be
satisfied with half dozen districts
districts in which the negroes are in
the majority. If the Democrats would
set apart these districts for Republic
cans the Republican party wouldn't
make an effort to get other districts
That is a proposition that will not be
entertained for a moment.
The Democrats are not going to give
up any districts. and, besides, the prop
osition is impracticable, assuming that
IL was made. The Democrats are go
ing to contend for all the districts
and the chances are they will get them
all. 1t Is absolutely certain that they
will enter into no such bargain with
their political opponents as is contain
ed in the foregoing proposition.
Since Senator Hanna's death there
has arisen persistent story TO the ef-
feet that he was one OF the close friends
and chief advisers OF John Mitchell
president OF the coal miners union.
The friendship between the two men Is
said 10 have been deep and sincere. and
probably no man felt keener the death
OF the Senator than the labor leader.

DR. DICKINSON TO
 Y. M. C. A. WORKERS
AFTERNOON MEETING AT THE HOME WELL TTENDED-MAlE QUARTETTE RENDERS SOME PRETTY SELECTIONS.

The Y. NJ. c. A. meeting at S;s0 yester- day afternoon was attended by about eighty men who were privileged to listen to a most acceptable address by the Rev pr. A. J. Dickenson of the First Baptist church.
 pr. Dickensons message was to Chris tian men who are in darkness because of sin in their own lives. The speaker made 1t plain, that such men are not in com munion with Christ. although they may have once been adopted by Him. and con- tinuing made powerful appeal for con- slstant living. The male quartette rem dered several selections, which wera greatly enjoyed.
 The claims of Christ were earnestly presented at the close of the meeting. Then all were invited to attend one of the three Bible classes which were recently organized.
 The fellowship lunch proved to be very interesting feature. although not so large a company as usual attended. The Rev. K H. Basmaiian Baptist min ister of Atlanta, and an accomplished lin- guist and scholar, addressed this gath erng and sang enc of our familiar Chris tian hymns in his native Armenian tongue. MT. Basmaiian will lecture at Howard college tomorrow night on Oriental Life
 At the close of the fellowship lunch As- sistant Secretary Bridges made brief statement of the work accomplished by the association since it's reorganization, which was received with hearty applause.

ADDITIONAL FUNDS
 ARE BADLY NEEDED
PRESIDENT F. M. JACKSON OF THE COMMERCIAL CLUB MAKES A STRONG APPEAL IN BEHALF OF THE VULCAN EXHIBIT.

Just before he left for St. Louis Fri day F. M. Jackson, president of the Com mercial club, has issued the following address:
 ..To the Citizens of Birmingham and the Birmingham District:
 .It was utterly impossible for the Com mercial club at the beginning of the work of making up the St. Louis exhibit casting of the big figure has been a very much more expensive undertaking than counted on The assembling of the gen. eral exhibit and putting it in pdace at St Louis has been considerably more than could be forseen. The expense of mainta,ning the exhibit will be greater than we could calculate; in addition to this. funos to exploit the sale of the souvenirs of the statue of Vulcan at St. Louis are badly needed. The total of all these will require s21,oOO instead of sl7,Soo, as given in original estimate.
 In order to raise this additional sum the club has authorized the officers to
  ed, with the understanding that such sub scriptions are to be paid out of the sale of souvenirs, and in addition thereto 50 per cent of net profit; balance. if any, to go to the Commercial club All the in- formation the club has in regard to the sale of these souvenirs leads us to be- ,ieve that considerable amount of money can be made in this way.
 Tn view O. these anticipated large earnings 1t is earnestly desired that all former subscribers should subscribe to this special fund to at least half the amount of the original subscription. in or der that they may participate in the earn ings and probably receive in dividends an amount sufficient to cover the original subscription also. Subscribers will find blanks at the First National bank with MT. w. w. Crawford, cashier; Brming- ham Trust and Savings company, with MT. w. H. Manly, cashier; Jefferson County Savings bank, with MT. Eugene Enslen, cashier, and Traders National bank, John w. Frye, president and with Steiner Bros These parties have kindly consented to receive subscriptions and are authorized to deliver the ciuD's receipt and certificate for amounts paid.
 "Our citizens do not fully appreciate the importance this great iron statue will be in advertising our great mineral dis trict. MT. Walter Page of the World s work, in looking at the statue, exclaimed, Wonderful, wonderfully 1t will be the big sest show at the exposition, and will att tract worldwide admiration Other re- cent visitors to our city who have seen the statue, look upon 1t in the same light. Let us not, therefore, embarass the Com- mercial club in delaying subscriptions to this great enterprise. Very respectfully,
 ''F. M. JACKSON,
 "President."

THOMPSON SAID ID HAVE WON VICTORY Important Conference of Ala bama Republican Leaders LASTED UNTIL 2 O'CLOCK Question of Election of Chairman of State Executive Committee Will
 Not Be Presented to the
 State Convention.

Several leading members of the re- publican party who came to Birmingham on Saturday to attend the conference be- tween w. F. Aldrich, J. O. Thompson and Charles H. Scott. the three referees of President Roosevelt in Alabama, remained in the city yesterday. The conference of the referees was held for the purpose of discussing, of course, matters political. The conference was called to order shortly after 10 o'clock Saturday night In the office of J. 0. Thompson, collector of The delay in calling the conference to order was occasioned by the failure of I MT. Aldrich to arrive in Birmingham earlier. It was nearly o'clock yesterday | morning when the doors were thrown l open and the announcement was made that the referees had agreed upon all propositions submitted to them, and were ready to adjourn. They did not say, how ever, whether or not 1t was a harmonious meeting. When the conference came to an end, Messrs. Thompson, Aldrich and Scott and J. H. Montgomery, and one or two other republicans were in the room.
 Thompson Wins Victory. It is not known whether what is known as the Dr. J. w. Hughes "deal was brought before the conference, as noth- ing is said about this matter in the state ment given out by the referees. It Is evi- dent, however, that MT. Thompson won decisive victory in securing the unani-
 nous endorsement of the referees for chairman of the state committee. Up to the time of the conference 1t was bruited in republican circles there was one dis senting voice in the matter of his becom- ing candidate for chairman of the state committee. This was said to be MT. All drich.
 l The following is the statement which
 was given out yesterday morning as a | result of the long drawn-out conference: "officiaI' Statement. "Messrs. Aldrich Thompson and Scott.

 ''We favor four members of the state executive committee from each district in the state, this increasing the committee to thirty-six members, with no members fl om the state at large as heretofore. Matters as to details of the coming convention were not discussed, and no agreement as to the delegates at large to the national republican convention was entered into, each referee reserving the right to support their individual prefer ence; also as to electors and presiding of- ficers of the convention.
 That the delegates to the national con- vention be instructed for the President and Charles H. Scott for member of the rational committee from the state of Ala bama.
 'It was further agreed that the referees favor the election of J. O. Thompson as chairman of the state committee"

BUSINESS NOT LARGE.
London Exchange Has Had Improved
 Tone During Past Week.

London, May 1.-The stock exchange being occupied with the fortnightly settle ment, the business of the past week was not great but the improved tone con tinued with healthy small inves' 'ments in the best securities. The anxiety prevailing on the Paris bourse over the outcome of the Russian loan operations had deter rent effect on business in foreign securi- ties, and the Russian issue was still heavy.
 Other markets. however, showed gen. eral improvement Prices in the American market was rather above the Wall street level, although transactions were small. But considering the drain or gold from New York and other circumstances, the fall in prices was looked upon as small, and operators here took favorable view of the soundness of the position Of the market.
