Believes Iron Generalization Would
 Mean Much to Alabama.

Mean Much to Alabama.
 Washington, Feb. 23.--(Speciai.)-- This in The New York Evening Post today. Joseph F. Johnston, ex.Gov- ernor of Alabama, well known in the South as a banker, is in the city. Mir. Johnston was the organizer fifteen years ago of the Sloss Iron Company, and it's first president. He said today:
 T am here on some business, but have been very greatly interested in the movement to consolidate the iron and coal manufacturing interest in the Birmingham district. At one time, some fifteen years ago, was officially connected with one~ of the largest of the coal and ftron companies, and then urged the consolidation, because I dis covered, from actual experience. that the internal competition among the local companies there was more in- furious than the external, and was pre- venting all of them from realizing the profit that was legitimately attainable. My estimate then was that this compe- tition was cutting the net profit realiz- ed on our pig iron about $2 per ton. Observation since then has only con- f1rmed this estimate, and think my figure Is rather under than over the mark.
 'As understand the proposition now 1t is that there shall be an arnaIgama- ton of these interests with an abun- dance of capital to work up the raw ma terial into finished product and realize the legitimate profit from these opera tions. A very large per cent of our pig iron is shipped from Alabama to be converted in other sections. There is no greater wisdom in this than in send ing our raw cotton to other sections to be converted into cloth the expense and profit of this operation being en- joyed elsewhere.
 'So far as pig iron is concerned I think it will be admitted that it can be produced more cheaply in the Birm- mingham district than any where else in the world; and the Tennessee com pany is now realizing a greater profit in converting this pig into steel than in making the pig. Another large company there Is getting handsome re- turns in converting this steel into wire nails, etc. It Is a little curious to re- call that when we commenced making iron at Birmingham 1t was said, by our competitors that we could only make iron suitable for certain limited pur- poses, and that it would never find it's way into the general market. but 1t did; then 1t was said we could not make a commercial success of converting this pig into steel, but we did. one obJec% ton and prophecy of disaster after another has fallen to the ground, and l am sure if this consolidation can be effected that the Birmingham district vii double it's business and profits, and population in a few years. and at the same time tax the resources of every railroad in the State to handle the increasing freight. These results will come, consolidation or DO consolI- dation. but n will come quickly under consolidation"

Large ana ATpreoiatIvo Crowd Attend

Large and ApprectatIve Crowd Attends
 OceasiOn at Auburn.
 Auburn, Feb. 2S.--(Special. )--A very large and appreciative audience was in attendance yesterday morning in Lang don Hall at the senior class exercises Those participating in these exercises were R. S. Reynolds. Anniston, Presi- dent; K. l.. Forester, Cowarts, ora- tor; Miss May Harvey, Auburn, poet; J. V. Denson. Lafayette, historian; 2. H. Paterson, Montgomery, prophet. All of these students represented well their class and furnished to n sympathetic and appreciative Auburn audience an interesting and entertaining exercise which has been excelled perhaps by no other graduating class of the college.
 In the afternoon on the college cam pus the last football game of the sea- son was played. Tn the class games already played the junior class had won the championship of the college, and yesterday their team went out to do battle against a select team from all the other classes of the college. It was beautiful afternoon and a large two teams were evenly matched and the contest ended wifh the score of 70 to o.
 One of the most interesting events of the holiday was the annual oratoricaT contest between the Wirt and Webster ian Literary Societies at 8 o'clock last evening. The members of the two so- cletles have never shown a greater spirit of friendly rivalry than they did last night. when each society came in- to Langdon Hall in a body wearing the society colors. The rivalry was shown to b0 very keen and each speaker re- ceived prolonged applause from both the audience and the members of his society. The program of this interest ing contest was as follows: J. L. Mur- phy President Wirt Society. address of welcome; Frederick Emanuel Geibel (Wirt), Montgomery Cohnty, 'SThe Obligations of Citizenship; Casper Carl Certain, (Webterian), Madison County; ''The Spirit of Democracy; John Au- Eustus Miller (Wirt). Calhoun County, "The Industrial south"; Nell Alexander Frazier, (Websterian), Mobile County, "Formation of Character.
 The committee of judges. composed of MessFs. W. W. Davis and T. Bragg, and the Rev. c. c. Pugh, awarded the decision in favor of M. A. Frazier. In words, Mir. T. Bragg, as Chairman of the committee, delivered to the successful contestant a handsome gold medal which the societies award to the winner in this annual contest.

FAMILY COUNCIL.
Members of Imperial Family Gathered

Members of Imperial Family Gathered
 at TsarskOe-SeS0.
 St. Petersburg, Feb. 24.--(2 a. m.)-- All the members of the imperial fam fly who attended the requiem for Grand Duke sergius at Tsarskoe-Selo yes terday remained to a family council in the evening. The Dowager Em- press, who has been at Tsarslkoe-Selo since the eventful Red Sunday" Jan. 22, becoming impatient under the re- straints which were advised by the police for her safety. rebelled against the alleged necessity of remaining at Tsarskoe-SelO. declaring that she is not afraid; that the sands of her life have almost run out, and that If as. sassins want her life they may have it. The imperial family and authori- ties implored her not to return to St. Petersburg and she finally yielded.
 General satisfaction is expressed, even among Liberals, that the funeral day of Grand Duke Sergtus passed oR with no untoward incident. Even the extreme radicals respected the day of grief of the imperial family The po- lice precautions both here and at Mos COW, though extensive. apparently were not needed.
 The public is discussing with aston ishment the sweeping statement of The of Moscow attributing the guilt of the assassin to the entire Rus- sian society, critics saying that if this be true. it justifies the contention of reformers that all Russia is at odds with the present system. The wisdom of such statements at this crisis Is very generally questioned.

 Washington, Feb. 23.-(SpeciaI. )- Senator Morgan. versus the admlnistra- ton in re Santo Domingo, now in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. hinges vitally upon Mir. RooseyeIt's in- depreciation of the Monroe Doctrine. The Alabama Senator, who has lately achieved triumph in leading the Re. publican Senate to victory against the President and Secretary Hay on the ar- bitration treaties. contends the Monroe Doctrine does not in any way apply to the Santo Domingo affair.
 If this country intends to straiRhten the islands internal and foreign af- fairs, Mir. Morgan faVors the use of warships, the landing of an armed body and the forcible possession, as the proper method. The protocol will be considered by the Senate Committee at the special session after March 4. Be- cause of the rush of other business. sentiment has not developed fully as to the adyisability of ratifying the pro- tocol, but at this time Senators Nor gan and Bacon are very vigirous avow- ed opponents.

 The city is threatened with a coal famine. the entire supply of coal conn ing from the district of Dombrova over the vienna road. The governor general has offered to supply military men to work the trains but this is impracticable. as the. strikers have destroyed switches. Many through passengers from Moscow and St. Pet ersburg are now here and great quan- titles of perishabIe goods from France and Italy are being utterly spoiled by the delay. t A telephone message from Lodx says the workmen in most of the factories there have returned to their labors: but as the big miils are only paying the old wages while the pay of the men in the small mills has been inc creased 1t Is feared the improvement is only tempofary.

Russia EIated.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 24.--.t2 a. m.D-- The intimation that the decision of the international commission on the Hull incident will be favorable Co Rus sia is received with much quiet exulta- ton in admiralty circles and the St. Petersburg public where 1t is felt to show the baselessness of "the sense- less elamor" against vice-Admiral Rojestvenslky. Naval officers always have maintained that there was another side to tiis question, as it was present. ed by the press of Great Britain and believed RojestvensIxy was amply justified in taking all precautions for the safety of his fleet. especially in view of the warnings, the seriousness of which apparently was not realized elsewhere and were convinced that a commission of impartial experts would take the same view. Hence, the re- port is accepted without surprise, though 1t has not been announced of- ficially.

President Henry S. Groce of William Cramp 6 Sons, ship and engine builders. and representative of the Bethlehem steel Company are already here. There are good prospects of American capital securing a good share in the contracts to be awarded, but up to the present time the only contracts let has been to the French Compagnie des Forges at Chantiers.
