Twenty Persons Killed in a Collision.

Henry Palas, Count Won Plauen, son of
Prince Henry XVI Of Reuss, belonging to
a collateral branch of the younger Reuss
line, was among twenty persons killed in a
railroad collision Monday between Sprem-
berg and Goerlitz, Russia The count had
only remote possibility of succession to
the government of Rouse-Gera. The rail-
way administration is severely criticised for
having only single track where traffic is
heavy, and also for refusing information re-
garding the collision. saying that the facts
would be published later, after two commits
sioners had been sent to the scene and had
concluded an investigation. The station
master, after he had dispatched one express
train, realized that the other was moving in
a contrary direction and had not reached
the switch, ran frantically after the disap-
pearing train until he became exhausted.

The Hankow Railroad.

Secretary Loomis was asked IL he took
up the matter of the Hankow railway with
the President in the course of his call and
he replied in the negative.
"All know about the Hankow railway"
he said, is that Mr. Morgan controls the
concession absolutely and the question now
being agitated Is whether or not the Amer
leans shall sell or hold on. / do not know
what figure has been offered for the line
by the Chinese government, but have heard
that 100000 was the sum. This informa-
ton came through newspaper source,
however, not official one
What action will the President take In
the Venezuelan asphalt case?" Mr.. Loomis
was asked.
Il do not know he replied He has not
as yet received any official information re-
garding the decision against the American
company. l suppose that the story which
has been printed from Caracas Is correct,
but sometimes State Department news is
very slow in arriving through official chan
nels. 1t is not at all likely that the Presi-
dent will take any action until he learns
all about the case and has had a full re-
port from the proper officials on the law
and the facts"
will the decision against the American
company have any bearing on Judge Cal
nouns mission to Venezuelan" Mr.. Loomis
was asked. Il do not think So except to
Increase its Importance" replied the sec
rotary.
Mr.. LOOMS said that he Intended to go
TO Washington either today or next day,
and after remaining there a few days
not had any vacation for four summers, -
said Mr.. LOOMS, and I'm going to take
one this year" Mr.. Loomis said that Sec
rotary Root was not expected at the State
department in Washington before the lat

A Foreign Clearing House.

Thus all information relating to Japan
sent from the German Japanese offices
would be distributed among all the German
legations in China. Russia, the United
States, and any others interested in that
particular class of news. When the German
foreign office gets information Of pressing
interest to Its ministers and consuls 1t
uses the telegraph or the cable freely to
keep them informed. 1t is this kind Of
clearing house that we will put in opera
ton. with such notifications as seem best
to suit our needs. OF course, the Germans
and the other European nations have been
conducting foreign affairs great deal longer
than we have and 1T Is not at all remark
able that some Of their methods are better
than ours. But while we are celebrating
our foreign business methods we will not
add any red tape to our system. We have
enough of that already. 1t is the wish of
the President that red tape be cut out as
much as possible from our present business
methods, and all our efforts will be in that
direction"

CHANGES EDICTED
FRANCIS b. LOOMS TALKED OF
FOREIGN OFFICE APPOINTMENTS.

Among the Presidents visitors at Oyster
Bay yesterday were Francis B. Loomis, as
sistant secretary OF state, who has just re-
turned from a trip abroad. and DR.. Jacob
II. Hollander of Baltimore, who Is to visit
Santo Domingo for the government.
Mr.. LoOmis arrived shortly after noon in
company with DIR. Hollander, and they were
the guests of President and Mrs. Roosevelt
at luncheon. DIR. Hollander recently return
ed from a trip abroad In regard to Santo
Domingo matters, and is shortly to go to
that island.
There will probably be a number Of
changes made in our foreign Offices" said
Secretary Loomis after his visit at Saga
more Hill, but none of them have been de-
cided upon, and they cannot. therefore, be
announced just now. My Investigations
abroad were not so much confined to the
search for flaws in our own system as 1t
was to discover the better systems in vogue
In the foreign Offices We will incorporate
some of the best ideas that our foreign
neighbors are using. For instance, the Ger
man foreign offices have a first-class infor-
nation bureau provided with an up-to-date
printing Office, which Is kept running all the
time, getting out sheets containing news
vital to the German foreign offices through
out the world.

WALL STREET REVIEW
SPECULATIVE TONE UNDERGOEs AN
 ABRUPT TRANSITION.
Rumors of Financial Institution in Trouble Circulated During Day--Resist- ance of the Market
 Surprise.

New York. May 22-The tone of specula- tive sentiment underwent an abrupt trans- tfon during the course of today's trading in stocks. Defined rumors of a financial institution in trouble circulated in the day. The influence upon feeling of the violent break in prices of the latter part of the day was the more effective on account of the strength shown during the morning.
 Last weeks heavy liquidation and the apparent renewal of 1t in the closing hours of Saturday left the expectation of very heavy selling to be faced. The good re- sistance offered by the market this morning therefore came surprise and the pro- fessional traders were inclined to hasten to make commitments on the long side of the market The receipt of considerable buying orders from London gave an impression of revived confidence in our securities on our side of the ocean. There was no news to power In the market. and orders to sell appearing simultaneously in many quarters and from an unknown origin.
 The market had come practically to 6 standstill before they appeared and this had a discouraging effect those hopeful of further advance. The upward move tered for the purpose of affording q better basis for further liquidation, and it was rumored that large and important interests were getting out their holdings.
 The abrupt market drop in Northern Pa cific was of special influence on sentiment It Is now believed that the formation last week of the new Northern Pacific di-- rectorate may be accepted the definite conclusion of any harmony plans that may be in contemplation and any accompanying hopes of the high values to be developed in all Northwestern stocks by a compre- hensive plan to conserve all interests. There IS disposition to account for the persistent and determined liquidation being due largely to the retirement of holdings acquired at one or another stage of the at tempted settlement in the Northwest.
 Measuring assurances from authorities in the trade of the light importance to be at tached to the present Hull in that trade are of little effect on sentiment in face of rHyn knAG Nf NharA eta A~ the market and the prevalence of doubts of the stability of the iron and steel trade bring into question the whole business out look. Railroad traffic officials admitted some failing off in Burlington on account of damage to crops in the Northwest aug mented by wet weather and unfavorable reports from the Southwest. There was the usual short covering on the days decline. but pressure was renewed and the closing was easy.
 Bonds were weak. Total sales, par vaiue $3.300,O00. United States bonds were ali unchanged on call.

A BanebaIl Meeting.

meeting of the Selma Baseball As- sociation was held this morning and much business of importance was trans acted by that body. The principal topic discussed by the Board of Direc~ tors was the formation of the East Ala bama League, which will be formed in Montgomery on Thursday. A letter that has been received from King" Bailey asking Selma to wait and go into the Tri-State League. which will also be rejuvenated In a few days, was read, but it was the universal verdict of the directors that the East Alabama League would bo better organization for this city to go into than the Trt- State League.
 It was decided that President I. L. Rosendorf of the Association and M. w. Walker should represent Selma at the meeting, which will be held at the Glenmore Hotel in Montgomery at 8 p. m., on Thursday, May 18th. That the new league will be organized on that day there is not the shadow of :t doubt if anything can be judged from the tone of the letters that Mir Rosen- dorf has received from the various managers in the cities which, 1t is thought, will go to make up the or ganization.
 Manager Washington of the Selma club today made good to the club the $125 that was stolen from him in his room in Columbus Ga, one night last week while the Selma club was in that city playing the Columbus club It was through no fault of Manager Washing ton that the money was stolen from him and he told the directors that as the receipts from the games belonged to the association he thought he per sonally was responsible for them, and, therefore made good the amount he had been robbed of.

THE NEWS OF SELMA
Advertiser Bureau,

Selma, May 22.
 Webb Hughes. the young white man who was shot last night in front of c. J. Grif1ith's drug store in East Selma was today thought not to be in seri- ous condition. His physician stated this morning that while the wound that MT. Hughes received might prove serious he did not think it would be fatal, unless some complication set in. If complications set in, of which there are no symptoms today the leg which was injured might have to be ampu- tated.
 . Walter Davis, who did the shooting, was arraigned in police court this morning for bond. but upon the tes- timony of Dr. Ward the young man was sent to Jail for several days to await the outcome of MT. Hughes's wounds. The shooting seems to have grown out of several young men in that part of the city drinking. AS stated in The Advertiser this morning, there was some hard feeling between Hughes and Davis, growing out of the difficulty which Davis had with young Jeff Berry yesterday afternoon, and in which Hughes kept Davis from shooting again congregated around the Mechan- ics' Fire Engine house, where Davis was employed, and the difficulty of the afternoon became the topic of converse tion. A pistol dropped from Daviss pocket, the same one which Hughes had taken from him earlier in the after noon. Hughes told Davis that he could not bluff him with any pistol, no mat ter if 1t was sixteen inches long.
 Soon the two young men were quar- reling and In almost an instant they were in the middle of the street be- tween the Mechanics engine house and c. J. Griffin's drug store, where by- islanders saw them scuffling for pistol. In th;S scuffle Davis shot twice. one of the Shots taking off one of Hughess little finger and the other entering the abdomen near the hip After the shoot ing Davis went to his home, but was soon afterwards arrested by the au- thorities,
