SECRETARY SHAW RETURNS.
Sees No Warrant for Action by the
Treasury DEPARTMENT.

Secretary Shaw returned from New York
today. He said that he saw nothing in the
present situation in the New York money
market to warrant any action on the part
OF the Treasury Department. He did not
know, of course, what might occur that
would require action by the government,
but there was nothing in the present con-
ditions to justify him in taking any steps

CRONSTADT MUTINY
LAST OF THE MUTINEERS HAVE
BEEN ARRESTED.

CRONSTADT, November 10-(Noon).-Ali
Is quiet at Cronstadt. The mutinous san
ors have all submitted and the leaders to
the number of several hundred have been
deported from the island. The others are
thoroughly repentant. Troops are pouring
into the city from all directions by water.
Besides machine guns, other street artil-
lery and battery of quick-firing field guns
arrived here on scows from st. Petersburg
and We're debarked shortly before noon at
the steamboat landing.
Any further disorder at present is ut
terly out of the question. The mutineers
and rowdies gutted the Tartar and Jew
markets end on Pavloff street near the
barracks the 7th Fort Equipage, to which
the mutinous sailors belonged, destroyed
ten modern business blocks and a number
of smaller stores The fires burned them
selves out during the night. and today the
buildings are only heaps of smoking ruins.
The fires burned almost a whole day. There
was little attempt to check them, the
f1remen shared in the general demoraliza-
tion and many of them became intoxicated.
Influx of Troops
The great influx of troops at Cronstadt
has exceeded the barrack capacity Of the
WaT port, anu SDIIleFS are eNeTyW WTpTe
bivouacking in the streets, huddling about
the remnants of last nights watchfires and
bargaining with merchants for fresh bread
and other additions to their rations.
The business streets sacked by the riot
ers present a lively picture today. There
are crowds of spectators on the sidewalks
watching the unfortunate owners of burned
buildings, who are salvagins their prop
erty from the heaps thrown into the streets
and from the wrecked interiors Of stores.
There was no disorder during the night.
Late in the evening q squad Of loyal sailors
bearing white flag attached to bayonet
marched to the district occupied by the
mutineers and induced them to surrender,
pointing out that their revolt was merely
being used as cover for robbery and pill
lage on the part OF the rowdy classes. The
Tigers" as the roughs are termed at
Cronstadt. wished to renew the pillaging
during the night under cover Of the dark
ness and general disorganization, but were
unable to Go so. The troops and inhabi-
tants working in full cooperation pre-
vented even sporadic attempts at further
looting.

"BLACK HUNDREDS PLANS FOR
MASSACRE OF JEWS.

ST. PETERSBURG. November 10.-Stories
are being industriously circulated that a
regular st. Bartholomew massacre of the
Jews and intellectuals has been planned by
the BLACK Hundred of St. Petersburg for
Saturday night. 1t is declared that all
houses containing Jews are being marked
by a red cross. While it is undoubtedly true
that the lower classes would like to let
loose, no real danger is anticipated. as the
police have received the most rigid instruc-
tions to suppress any attempt at an up
rising.
Count Witte has ordered thorough in
vestigation OF all the Jewish massacres and
other disorders in the interior, where the

with melting or with abetting violence and

removed and punished.

NEARING ITS END.

The quarantine restrictions will soon come to an end, and we are led to hope | that such an affiiction will be rele- gated to the rear never again to be imposed upon the people of this coun- try. We had hoped that the supreme folly exhibited in former years would not be anywhere shown this year, yet in the last few days we find the State of Arkansas quarantining against Florida oranges. Could anything be more senseless To begin with, 1t has been established that yellow fever will not be transported by freight, If proper Immigration has been had, and especially as in this case when the freight does not go within 200 miles of an in- fected place.
 The excesses indulged in by pauic- stricken communities have been less than ever before known. We can re- call but one extreme case in Alabama and that was the unfortunate man who died near Moundville If he had re- ceived proper care and attention. in all probability he would have recov- ered-and then he did not have yellow fever. It was simply a case of excess sive caution, which led to conduct not justified by the situation.
 So far as business with New Orleans is concerned, there has been but little interruption in the matter of freight. Science has done an immense amount of good in demonstrating the folly of shutting up freight as we'll as people inside the limits of stricken cities.
 If the American Marine Hospital Ser antine system last May, in all prob ability the fever would not have ap- peared in New Orleans. It is estab- lished beyond doubt that 1t came in from an infected South or Central American port, and that the vessel or vessels were not detained the proper length of time for the destruction of the mosquito or recovery of patients bitten by them.
 This year. in spite of inconveniences, quarantines have been more humane, and as knowledge progresses. the nec- tSSdEy VIII bC NoASh 0hN the troubles from this source come to an end
 Science has been signa1ly triumphant in New Orleans, where, instead of fifty and seventy-five deaths per day at this season. only a very few occur. The disease itself has been almost stamped out, and would never have gotten a foothold if proper publicity had been given of the first cases.
 We desire to pay tribute to Dr. W. H. Sanders, Alabama's able and indefati- gable Health Officer, and his corps of assistants They have been watchful and vigilant and even if few cases should yet appear in Alabama, 1t is too late for any serious harm to follow.

WAS IT A VICTORYf

The esteemed Republican brethren are taking great credit to the adminis- tration because 1t obtained fines aggre- gating $25,00o from four men for vio- lating the law by accepting railroad rebates. They were not convicted, let it be remembered They plead guilty only after an understanding with At torney- General Moody that they were not to be imprisoned. Was not this compounding a felony, to put it plain ly? If the courts and the prosecuting officers generally were to adopt that plan of dealing with violators of the law, would not there justly be howl all over the country?
 Where Is the victory for the Govern ment? It Is plain that the Attorney General had doubts about convicting the men If he went to trial, and 1t Is equally clear that their pleas of guilty, after assurance that they should escape imprisonment were made to save the trouble and expense of a law suit. If MT. Moody had felt any certainty that he could convict them and make them suffer the full penalty of the law. could he. without virtually making himself party to their offence, have compromised with them as he did?
 Leaving the method out of the dis cussion, what is fine of five or ten thousand dollars to one of these big concerns that are making millions off the people? If an agreement on the part of the Government to remit part of the penalty. thus virtually bribing the transgressors to plead guilty, is a satisfactory triumph for the Govern nent then we must say that the latter is easily satisfied. No doubt the illegal rebates obtained by the offenders would pay the fines many times over. Im- posing fines under the conditions that these were imposed is little better than a farce. The only possible way by which rebatlng can be stopped is by term of Imprisonment for the violators of the law. Prominent men like these would be shy of violating the law if they could feel at all certain that they would land in jail for their crimes.
 What was done may finally result in a victory for the Government. but we fail to see 1t yet.

A coNvINcrNe LETrnn.

We ask that the close and earnest attention of every reader of The Ad- vertiser be given to the able and con- vincfng letter of Hon. s. J. Bowie. pub Iished in this issue
 He demonstrates beyond question that if a vast amount of money is locked up in the treasury. with no way under existing law of getting it out, that tie Governor would be justified in calling the Legislature together and ending such a condition. Since the passage of an act several years ago consolidating all funds in the State treasury into one general fund. there Is no need for setting separate and apart large sums and holding them invio- able, particularly when there is ample amount to meet all requirements with constant additions tn place of what is paid out
 The school fund can be easily in- creased without additional tax bur dens, and Mir. Bowie's presentation of this argument is bound to strike the public with favor. The Legislature can authorize the taking up of State bonds due in January and not in the least embarrass the treasury. The s50.e00 saved outright by this means can be permanently added to the school fund, and at the same time the credit of the State be enhanced to such an extent as to aid in refunding bonds due next July.
 The bonded debt of the State is of sufficient importance to warrant the legislation that might be suggested by the Governor in a call for an extra session. In addition to this. there are other important matters which can be we'll considered before a regular ses- sion can convene and to the great good of the State.
 Mir. Bowie's letter is that of a states man and a thinker. and 1t can be read with profit by every citizen of Ala bama

Mr. Bryan and HIs Party.

Washington Post.
 For a man who is devoid of imagina- tion and has no sense of humor, Mr Bryan does some astonishing things He is a Democrat and about all that is left of that historic organization, and with one hand he caresses MT than any other President we ever had and with the other hand Mir Bryan lashes the Democracy of Nebraska to that hopeless derelict. the wrecked Populist craft. He believes in Roose- welt, he believes in Hearst. he belives in Tom Johnson, he believes in Mayor Dunne, he believes in Everlasting Allen, of the fifteen hour" oration.
 What he wanted with that corpse the Populist party, not even he loquacious as he is, could find language to tell. Twelve years ago the Demo- cratic party went into partnership with Democratic victory achieved since When that alliance was made both Houses of Congress had Democratic maJorities and the President of the Senators from New York, both Sena- tors from New Jersey, both Senators from Indiana, and both Senators from Wisconsin were Democrats There was one Democratic Senator from Ohio and another from Illinois. Delaware was a Democratic State and MlcnIgsn was were were fuil of Democratic Governors S' The South was solid.
 And that was the state of the Demo- cratic party March 1893. By August of that year Mir van began to in fiuenee Democratic councils, and twelve months later there was a full partner ship between Democracy and Popullsm. John c. Carlisle gave place to Jerry Simpson in Democratic councils Tom Watson had become a better Democrat than George Gray. Mrs. Lease was better Democratic authority than Will
 Then came that 1896 saturnalia, when Democracy had become agrarian in the country and sans-culottish in the towns.
 MT. Bryan has learned nothing and has forgotten nothing. He Is even for free silver. and his farewell before he left for foreign parts was an assertion that the 50-cent dollar is standard
 If MT. Bryan will remain abroad until after November. 1906, and if the Demo- cratic party, in his absence, shall dis card all the nonsense that has covered if as with a mantle the past dozen wears. there is a possibility that MT. RrVan will find 8 Democratic victory m his return and a Democratic ma pority in the House of the SiKtietb Con gress.

FRIDAY. sErTBa.BER 20, 1905.
SENATOR MORGAN AND AN EXTRA
 SESSION,

The Advertiser published on Wednes- day morning a letter to Governor Jelks from Senator Morgan, dealing with certain matters to consider which he deems it advisable for the Governor to nonvene the Legislature in extra ses- sfen. Indeed. he considers 1t almost Imperative that State legislative action should be had on the matter of national quarantine and of Federal railroad rate Legislation. Both these matters will certainly be before Congress at an early day. The latter named one will in ali probability be elaborately treat Congress.
 We have never thought of State &C., tion as to Federal rate regulation, as it has long been held that Congress had the right to regulate interstate com merce. the extent to which 1t should go having been the bone of contention. The advocates of extreme measures will be on hand with their propositions. and no doubt the question will be set-1 tied before the coming Congress ad- journs. It is not probable that the Senate will pass such a measure as will meet the approval of the House and more than likely there will be a con siderable break in Republican lines as some members of that Party go the whole length in favor of power being given to the Interstate Commerce Com mission to fix and regulate rates. -..
 The State has only to deal with in da can have ahy effect outside State lines. Whatever action. therefore, the Legis- lature may take as to Federal regula- ton can only be suggestive of it's wishes, with no power of enforcement of It's views. Senator Morgan, judging by his expressions, wishes something in the way of advice or instruction in the matter to come from the Legisla- ture.
 Congress. it occurs to us, has un- doubted right to enact national quaran- tine laws under the same powers as are claimed for the exercise of power as to interstate commerce. The great field of operation would be at the ports of several States which have cemmuni- nation with countries to the south of the United States. They would not be confined to one port or one State, but to several, and the State regulations at one port might be entirely different from those at another. The greatest possible good. in our judgment, will come from q national quarantine law.
 Senator Morgan has made sugges- tions which are worthy of serious con sideration, and added to reasons here tofore advanced by others. makes the calling of the Legislature in extra ses- sion appear a wise and necessary act on the part of the Governor.

IMMIGRATION FIGURES.

We spoke the other day of the linn tied immigration from Spain, as com pared with other European countries, and a recent table compiled for The National Geographic Magazine shows the disparity much more plainly For the fiscal year ending on June 30 of this year, the figures for five countries in Europe are as follows: Austria, 1lI99O; Russian Empire, 167.92s; Hun gary 163,7OS; Italy, including Sicily and Sardina, 221,479, and Spain, inolud- ing Canary and Balearic Islands, $500. This is quite notable difference, and shows the little disposition Spaniards have to come to the United States.
 Any one who has not taken the trouble to look up the figures will be surprised to learn how many foreign CTS are making their homes in this country. The table referred to shows that for the year mentioned the total immigrants to our shores numbered a little over one million, which was an increase of more than two hundred thousand over the previous year. One might think that with such a great and continued Influx our country would soon become foreignized. so to speak. but 1t does not Though the new arrl- vals cause trouble at times, yet our civilization seems to assimilate them in some way and they all become Ameri- can citizens. We could well dispense with quite a number who come to us, but we take the bad with the good and manage to lick them into some sort of shape. Ours is a great re- ceiving depot
