 It is proposed by the surgeons to make an examination in a few days to decide upon the advisability of the op- eration It Is, however, admitted that the chances are greatly against the permanent relief ok the patient if the operation is performed.

stormy vieuna Meeting.

Vienna, Sept 29.-TheTe was a Stormy meeting today in the lower house of the reichsrath which is dis cussing the government declaration policy the people in the galleries talk ing part in the uproar. Eventually the session was suspended until the galleries were closed. The premier, Baron von Frankenthurn. explained his declaration regarding the revision of the basis laws of 1887. He said the revision only relates to the treatment of the joint affairs of the two halves of the monarchy which from time to time must be regulated according to analogous principles.
 The premier expressed the conviction that a new form of existence be- tween the two halves of the monarchy would eventually be found on the con dition that both countries should re- tain the rights guaranteed by the laws and full liberty of decision. He did not doubt that the legitimate in- terests of the two halves of the mon- archy would be safeguarded in such a manner that only the two states, but also the monarchy of the whole would benefit.
 During the session there were fre- uuent conflicts betweee the socialists and anti-Semites. which led to dis turbances and the clearing of the gall leries.

TRYING FOR A SOLUTION 'dungary'S Quarrel With
 King-EmperOr. EFFORT TOWARDS PEACE Coalition Leaders Are in
 Amicable Mood. Political Atmosphere Becoming Clear CT and Negotiations Will Be
 Renewed With Some
 Hope of Success.

Rudapest. Sept. 29.-The situation IS bscomInr clearer and evidence Is ac- cumulating that both the coaiitloh leaders and the King Emperor are earnestly endeavoring to ma way out of the difficulty Statements nave been issued. emanating, 1t Is uhoeE stood, directly from the entourage or the King g-Emperor denying any lh'en ns ton on the part of the crown ot wounding Hungarian national suscep- abilities, and an article from the pen of Francis Kossuth will appear tomor- row in which the leader Of the coaH- ton will state that he and his asso- ciates went to Vienna week ago with every peaceful intent, but that they were not given an opportunity 10 dem- onstrate to the King Emperor that the coalition does not contemplate any ob- stinate adherence to It's demands and that the Hungarian nation wishes to live at peace with Austria.
 These are regarded as indications that the negotiations between the crown and the coalition leaders Will De renewed with some hope of success. It is believed by some well informed per- sons that General Baron Fejervary will be reappointed Premier with the right to carry on the negotiations on plat form calling for universal suffrage ana that by this means a government ma- jority wul be secured In the Hungarian Diet.
 Quiet has been completely restored in the city. Crowds, however, continue to gather around the Independence Club. the headquarters of the coali- ton leaders. which is well guarded by the police, but it is believed that these gatherings are due to curiosity. There was no sign of disorder tonight.
 The leaders and the King Emperor realize that some way out of the pres- ant situation must be reached at any early date, ss otherwise the economic condition of Hungary will become so bad that serious conditions cannot be avoided, If indeed real revolution does not break out. The public ex- chequsF is almost empty owing to the impossibility of making any regular collection of taxes and the payment of the ofIicials. teachers and railway em- pIoyes is becoming more dtfiicult. For these and other reasons thinking peo- pic 0n both sides realize that a oonn- promise must be reached or that one side must give way altogether. To- night, however, a much more optimis- tic feeling prevails. especially in view of the fact that public excitement has been almost completely abated.

It is not generally known that the West Electric Company, of 117 Com merce Street, is one of the most exten- sive Electrical Supply Houses in the South.
 In a quiet, systematic way Mir. West has gone on building up this concern, is known and does business all over the four States around Alabama.
 MT. West has divided his business under four separate and distinct heads:
 l. The Electrical Supply Line.
 9. The Electrical Repair Depart ment.
 3. The Machine Shop.
 4. The Fixture Manufacturing and Plating end of the business.
 In each one of these departments, only the best skilled workmen are em- ployed.

'"To our Friends and Patrons:
 We have just installed at a great expense a very complete plant for manufacturing ElectrIc and Combina- ton Chandeliers of all kinds. We will also reAnish old fixtures and make them as good as new. We will take your old gas fixtures and make them Combination. This will often save buying new and expensive ones.
 We can refnish brass tables, lamps. fire sets and brass bedsteads-in fact, all kinds of brass goods.
 Our plant Is also equipped for cop- per and nickle plating.
 This Is the only plant of the kind in the South and one that is badly needed, as all chandeliers had to be imported from the Eastern markets and frequently customers have to wait for several weeks to have their orders filled.
 Heretofore all fixtures that had to be refnished had also to be sent to the East at a great expense.
 We are equipped to turn out work promptly. So when in the market for fixtures-or to have your old ones worked over-give us q trial, for this Is strictly a home enterprise and home capital. Very truly yours,
