hers Of the FIRST Walker nHbustering
expedition to Nicaragua I'm June. 1850.
AT that time Marshall was only 19
years Of age. but his daring ana his
ability promptly won for him the rec
ignition he deserved. For some years
prior 70 his death he was the last sur.
vlvor OF the Walker band. Now the
roster Is complete once more. The
passing Of Marshall makes it proper
here to recall some OF the history OF
the Walker expeditions. On his first
venture TO Nicaragua he was accom-
panied by hfty-six men.
Walker had been given a tremendous
land grant by one Of the chiefs Of an
insurrecton then in progress and it
was to obtain possession Of this land
that he organized his expedition. No
doubt be had ia his mind then what he
afterward accomplished. the seizure of
the country. but his ostenslble purpose
was 10 come into possession Of what
he believed to be his own. The spirit
OF the man was demonstrated when,
after being defeated in his first en-
gagement with a loss of eighteen of
his men he laid siege to the city of
Granada, aided by a few hundred Mic
araguans. and finally captured the
city. There he set up a government
of his own,
In 1856 he received reinforcements
numbering 1900 men from the United
States and with them he held control
until May. 1851 Then, harassed by
thousands OF insurgents. he surren-
dered to Commander Davis or the
United States navy and returned TO
this country. A few months later he
organized another expedition, contain
ing 1872 men, and once more set out for
Nicaragua. Before he GOULD enter the
country he was intercepted by Commo-
dore Paulding of the United States
navy and returned TO New York.
James Buchanan. then president of
the United States. declared the arrest
was Illegal and Walker was set free.
In 1858, October, he set out again bat
was halted at the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi because he was trying to sail
without clearance papers. The gray
eyed man OF destiny" was soon re-
leased, only to spend his time in pre-
pairing for what proved to be his last
expedition. Late i'm July, 1860, ne sail
ed from Mobile, defying the govern
ment of the United States, and landed
in Ruatan, Honduras, Aug. Is. Two
weeks later he was captured and on
Sept. -, with his back against a wall.
Walker was shot TO death.

MINERS ACCEPT REDUCTION.
Agree to Abide by Cut of 2 Per Cent
 In WAGea.

In wages
 Knoxville. Tenn ., Oct. 14 .--The min CTS of district No. 1s decided by vote of 34 to 29 to accept the ! per cent reduction offered by the operators. There were sixty-four delegates pres- ent and about ninety miners on hand [. After an all day session the result was reached. President John Mitchell tel- ephoned that he was detained at In- dianapolis and could not come.
 Tomorrow joint conference will be held between the miners and operators at which 1t Is expected that the scale will be signed for the coming year. This scale will not apply to the Coal Creek section, the operators of which district withdrew from the conference of the miners and operators previously held. before action was taken on the per cent ultimatum. The Coal Creek operators expect to hold out for a re- duction of IS per cent.
 Today's action is the result of hard fight which has been made by the na- tional officers of the United Mine Workers. The men voted against ac- ceptinR any reduction whatever, al- though it was recommended by their national officers that now was not the time to strike. After the ballot and cessation of work the national officers began work among the men with the result that the conference of today was called. There are about 5000 union men in the district.

ADDRESS BY MIR. POOLE
AhABAMIAN SPEAKS TO AGRICUL-
 TURAL COMMISSIONERS.
Says the Supply of Cotton is Not Equal to the Demand-Planter Now at
 Last is Independent.

Baton Rouge, La, Oct 14.-The fol- lowing address before the Cotton States Association of Commissioners of 2Agri- culture was delivered by President R. R. Poole today.
 The organization is composed of mem- bers from Alabama. Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indian Territory, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi. North Carolina, Oklahoma. South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. He said in part: 'sThe value of the product which we have come to talk about today. and de- wise ways and means to extend and promote its planting and cultivation. with a yield of ten million and half bales reaches the enormous sum of $4l2,403,659; besides the sea island crop of 7S,636 bales representing $5,964,707; the immense and astounding total of $4lS,35S,336. To raise this crop 1t re- quired the vast cultivation of 27,114,10S acres of our richest and most fertile | lands. and to its preparation for mar keting brought our very best talent and most adavnced thought and intelligent | means and methods that ingenuity and | the brain of man could devise" Mir. Poole then tells of the demand | for cotton, saying the supply Is not | equal to the demand. He said that 'at 10 cents I believe the producer can make cotton pay" He then went into | details of what use common goods were put to, and said:
 The planter is now independent al last. and he can make cotton the money crop, and after raising all pro- vision crops for home consumption, and l to spare, he can make as much cotton as he chooses and hold 1t for fair and just prices.
 He read the following from Profes' sor Soule, of the Tennessee agricultural l experiment station: Anything that | can be done in the development of this great staple crop of the United States should be done. The farmers of the South have an opportunity within thetl grasp that means everything to them The British mill owners have but ( vague idea of the great territory avail able for cotton production in tht South"
 Speaking of the price of cotton thi: year. President Poole says: The price. have been fair from the beginning and the crop will be marketed at the pres ent rate, 10 cents, or over" He say. despite the boil weevil in Texas, where it was feared the production of the staple would be well nigh stopped oI retarded to ruinous extent, the yield will be larger than last year.
 He closed his address with the plea for new men with brain and brawn tc settle In the South. who will come and join the planters in their work
 The convention elected the following | officers:
 President G. W. Koiner, Richmond Va; First Vice-President, H. T. Brad.

Arn ole Kentucky,

"In Old Kentucky" a melodrama in four acts, was played to a tremendous gallery audience, a fair sized balcony audience and small paraustte audi ence at the Montgomery Theatre last night.
 + Tn Old Kentucky" Is one of those plays that was a source of delight to the gallery gods twelve years ago and will continue to be until the theatres of the world are closed. But the play appeals not only to the gallery gods There were blase theatre goers in the audience lagt night who went there for the express purpose of relieving themselves of the tediousness of musi- cal comedy and smart set drama and comedy, which overruns the American stage today.
 The motives that carried the au- dience to the theatre last night may not have been the most uplifting in the world. They went there tt see gun play. sensational scenery. and hear the heroine and the comedian utter lofty epigrams. It may be said with truth also that the posters announcing that three real heroes would appear tended to attract the audience as the posters of MT. Vincent Crutnmles featuring two real tubs and a real pump did in the days of Nicholas Nickieby."
 And the audience saw what 1t went to see. There was action and plenty of it. The principals did. not waste the time of the play with words and when they spoke they spoke in cpl grams. Tn the first act, the heroine swings across a yawning chasm to res- cue the hero from being blown into atoms by stick Of dynamite. In the second act there Is fire on the stage and the heroine rescues the favorite for classic race from a burning stable In the third act. she rides the favorite and wins the classic and a bunch of money for her husband-to-be. In the fourth act the villain meets his just re- ward at the hands of the sub hero. The hero and the heroine-well it's no use saying they marry.
 There was lots of action.
 The only feature of the play deserv. ing adverse criticism was the too fre- quent appearance of negroes on the stage. The Southern public is fond of seeing white men in black face, but the appearance of real Africans mixing with white men and women Is not pop ular entertainment. To the credit of
 Tn Old Kentucky let it be said that
 the things the negroes did on the stage last night were not objectionable. They truly presented the happiness of the
 colored man on the old Southern plan tation and their actions. if they were impressed on the minds of the large ! gallery audience. were beneficial The audience expected to see no great | histrionic talent manifested. There was no opportunity for it and none | was wanted. Miss Nellie Callahan was an attractive heroine and Scott Sig | gins despite his name showed more real | ability than any other member of the company as a young moonshiner. One does not wonder that 'In old
 Kentucky earned a fortune for it's | owner. The entertainment Is worthier than it is described.
