.NR. PARSONS IS NAMED
WILL SUCCEED MIR. REESE AS Dis-
 TRICT ATTORNEY.
Referee Scott, With the Assistance of General ClarksOn of New York, Is Successful in Fight Against
 Present Incumbent.

Washington, Dec. Especial. J. The President today nominated Bras tus J. Parsons of Coosa County to be United States Attorney for the Middle Alabama District in place of W. s. Reese.
 This Is in accordance with the claim made yesterday by Referee Scott. who, on returning to Washington last Satur- day and learning on pretty good au- thority that tho program then was to reappoint Reese, declared that his war paint was on, and that he would rip ID the arrangements
 Referee Scott Is very happy over his success. The nomination of Parsons. so confidently claimed last evening by Scott, as wired to The Advertiser was. however, a genuine surprise to some Alabama Republicans here, among the number being former Collector of Inter- nal Revenue Bingham.
 While the Alabama Democrats in Congress do not concern themselves about these appointments. several of the delegation were informed nearly a week ago that there was hardly any doubt that Mir. Reese would get an- other term. It was also freelyNsaid in political circles that ex-Senator Chand- Ter and Congressmen Grosvenor and Littlefeld (Maine). were lending their influence on behalf of Reese, but it ap- pears that Referee Scott had the very valuable assistance of General Clarkson of New York.
 There are rumors floating around that the confirmation of Parsons by the Sen ate will be postponed, but the chances are he will get through all right, as the Presidents selection generally does Representative Clayton introduced fir the House today a bill that the Pee River Power Company be authorized tC
 build a steel and concrete dam or dan | of other material on Pea River in Ala
 bama at a point about four miles be low the town of Elba in Coffee County It Is understood that capitalists nt Elbi | and Troy have organized company and propose to establish large powe plant.
 Mir Clayton also introduced a bl | providing hereafter in any town or cit! where the population does not exceed l 50.000 any national bank in addition tt ! the powers contained in Section 5136 O 1 the revised statutes of the United State | may lend money on real estate as SC ! cured.

ARMY IS FAITHFUL.
Premier WItte Says Troops Will Remain
 True to Emperor.

Premier Wltte Says Troops Will Remain
 True to Emperor.
 St Petersburg, Dec. 13.-The corre- spondent of Tho Daily Telegraph at St. Petersburg. in a further installment of his interview with Count Witte. the first part of which was published Tues day, says the Premier declared that the army would remain faithful: that the finances of the country are sound and that 1t was not his intention to resign.
 The correspondent in series of ques- tfons presented numerous instances of the disloyalty of the troops and ma rines. The Premier, answering these questions, insisted that in all cases the disturbance so pointed out was either temporary or exceptional and that it had never developed into actual infidel- tty to the Emperor. IL could not be de- uied. he said. that the revolutionary propaganda was being industriously and assidiously worked in the army and in the navy, but he said 1t could not be successful because the national charac- ter was fixed and the national tradi- ticns were too deep rooted. So far as he knew the demands of the nlalcon- tents were altogether of an economical character. The troops were accustom- ed to obey the Emperor implicitly and the Premier was unable to conceive any transference of that allegiance.
 The correspondent suggested the pos sibility of a sudden coup by which the Republicans would seize the reins of Government. to which Count Witte re- piled that the members of such party would be ruthIessly cut down by the members of the imperial troops. The idea of such a republican government existing for even three days, the Pre- mier said. could only be entertained by foreigners who never had an op- portunity to study the Russian national

WILL AMEND TREATY.
SantO Domingo Convention Sent Back
 tO C0Snmlffee.


 Washington, Dec. 13.-The Santo De- mingo treaty was referred back to the Committee on Foreign Relations today by order of the Senate in executive ses- sion.
 Senator Lodge renewed his motion of yesterday, that the Foreign Relations Committee again be given an oppor- tunity to consider the convention. He had explained the necessity for this ac- tion to his colleagues on the Commit tee and the motion met with no oppo- sition.
 It is understood that it is the desire of the Senate Committee that the treaty be modified by striking out the pro- vision authorizing the President to send an armed force to Santo Domingo, if at any time necessary to preserve peace and order in the republic.
 It is the belief of friends of the treaty that if this provision were re- moved there would be less opposition to ratification both in this country and Santo Domingo.

 Referring to Russia's financial posi- ton. Count witte attributes all of the rumors of financial difficulties to the machinations of the rcvolutionfsts, who fought with poisoned weapons and whose statements were accepted be- cause tho people were credulous.
