BANKHEAD-HOBSON RACE
FOR CONGRESS is CLOSE
B. B. Conner Probably Nominated
by Alabama Democrats for
Railroad Commissioner.
BADLY BRUISED IN FIGHT

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 1.-THE first
general primary elections ever held in the
State of Alabama brought out the largest
Democratic vote ever polled in the State
AS there were no conventions and every
candidate for every office in the State had
to be voted for individually, ii probably
will be twenty-four hours before the vote
can be counted.
The contest between Congressman John
II. Bankhead and Capt. Richmond p.
Hobson in the Sixth district has been bit
terly fought and it is impossible to make
a forecast as to the probable result. The
vote will be very close. From the meager
returns so far received Bankhead is slight
ly in the lead.
Early indications are that B. B. Conner
has swept the State and will be nominated
for president of the railroad commission
by an overwhelming majority over John V.
Smith. the present incumbent. 1hls Is the
first time this office has been filled by
vote of the people; heretofore IL was ap-
pOintive The campaign for president OF
the railroad commission was bitterly con-
tested. the question of freight rates oelng
the issue.
1t is probable that Congressman John l..
Burnett Will be nominated in the Eleventh
district and that A. A Wiley Will succeed
himself in the Second district.
Thomas n. Mcclellan will be elected
chief justice of the Supreme Court without
opposition. Six associate judges VIII DE
elected, but it is impossible to ascertain
the probable result at this hour.
The weather was all that could be de-
sired and an unusually heavy vote was
polled. From the action OF counties on
delegates TO the state convention II Is likely
that Alabama will send an uninstructed
delegation to ST Louis.

After a brief halt in the chapel of the

RUSSIANS WILL TRY TO
ENVELOPE JAPANESE

LONDON, April IA correspondent of
the Times with the Japanese headquarters
sends the following. dated April II, by
wireless telegraph via Wei-Hai-Wei:
''At present information from the land
front must be belated, owing TO the dis
tance OF the existing head base OF the
advance guard. but this will soon be rem
edied. 1t is doubtful whether the long-ex-
pected engagement for the possession of
Yalu river will ever take place, certainly
not unless the Russians have been rein
forced more heavily than my information
leads me to believe. This was foreseen by
the Japanese and hence their strenuous f
forts 10 block Port Arthur so that they
may be able to reduce the length
of their land communications by the
establishment of a more convenient sea
base. 1t must be remembered that unless
the Japanese secure the north of the Yalu

impossible The rainfall of the summer

to locate permanently in the Latin quar-

CHURCH WEDDINGS
IRE IMPOSSIBLE
Contracting Parties in Four Future
international Marriages Are of
Different Religions.

WASHINGTON, April f1.-None of the
four international marriages arranged for
the spring will be large affairs and none will
be celebrated in church. This last fact
is made impossible by the fact that in
each and every case there is a difference of
religious belief between the bride and
bridegroom.
The first of these marriages, that OF Mr..
j. II. Van Roijen, for three years secre-
tary of the Dutch legation, to Miss
Albertina Winthrop. will be celebrated on
April p, at the home of the brides mother,
Mrs. Robert Winthrop in New York. Mr.
van Rofjen will take his bride at once
to Europe, where they will visit the Meth
erlands. Later the bridegroom will be given
some European post.
The other marriages are those of Miss
Alice Ward to Senior Don Juan Riano. of
the Spanish legation; Miss Eleanor Pat
terson to Count Joseph Gizychi. of Poland
and Miss Ivy Langham to Lieutenant Com
mander De Faramond, of the French en-
baSsy.

Worlds Fair Visitors Resent Ac-
ton of San Francisco
Customs Officials.

WASHINGTON, April n.-Diplomatic
complications in the relations between
China and the United States have arisen,
according to information derived from
sources closely identified with diplomatic
circles, because of the harsh manner in
which the Chinese exclusion laws are oper-
ating against Cinnamon of consequence
who have business in this country at the
st. Louis worlds fair. Sir Chentung LANG
Cheng, the Chinese minister, has filed for
NAL protests in the matter.
In regard to the protest Chang You Tong,
secretary of the Chinese worlds fair COM
mission, said tonight: MY countrymen
were subjected to humiliating treatment at
San Francisco where they were held by
the customs officials for two days, despite
the fact that they had sufficient money
with them to justify statements that they
were reputable citizens of China and not
paupers.
They also had signed letters from the
American consul at Picking, stating their
financial and social standing in China, but
they were forced to furnish bond in the
sum of $500 in gold each before the customs
officials would release them

against our left were repulsed The en-
emys position was broken through at

losses include Lieutenants Won Estorff and
Won Erffa and two cavalrymen killed, Lieu
tenant Rosenberg and five men severely
wounded and five men slightly wounded
The enemys loss has not yet been ascer-
tanned, but was heavy. owing to the ex7
