Local Industries.

T have ofter been surprised at the large number of people living in Bir- mingham who have never visited the fur naces, coal and iron mines. or the roll Ing mills" said man connected with one of the big industrial companies yes- terday.
 For long time I was in position to keep track of the number of permits al- lowing people to go through our various plants, and surprisingly few requests were made.
 Tt seems to me that people would have natural curiosity enough to carry them to some of these plants, among which are some as modern as are to be found anywhere. It would all be new and interesting to them, and visit would give them a wider knowledge.
 Just think of the people living here who go away on a trip and are asked about these plants. They are ignorant of the very simplest things in connection with the making of iron, which has been the mainstay of the city in which they live.
 I was in party of about dozen peo- pie, probably representatives of a good class of Birmingham Oitizens, several nights ago and for curiosity I asked how many had beer in a steel plant, fur mace or a mine, and only one man had been to either of the three. None of them knew anything about the actual and practical work of Iron making"

any one ascertain where it is@ The h.
 dian ocean is sixteen times the size of tn United States, and it is the lone Hest of all the seas. It is said that
 some fast Japanese cruisers under that American instructed commander Admiral Urin, are also in the Indian ocean, hunting for Rojestvensky. He certainly is not engaged in a wild chase. He could not hope to find Ro- jestyensky in a general hunt over the vast expanse of the Indian ocean. He is acting upon information of some sort, if he is acting at all. The entire situation in the Indian ocean is en- veloped in mystery, and the fog will not lift until one side or tie other apprc aches the narrow straits leading to the China sea. A battle near Ma nila is by no means improbable. The Russian ships will be closely watched all the way from the Dutch East Indies to the China sea.
 But no enc knows that they intend to enter the China sea at all. They might sail outside of Japan, but if there be any rhyme or reason in the they must expect to meet the Japanese fleet and wrest from it in battle the control of the far eastern waters. They must do this before they can enter Vladivostok.
 But no one knows where either Urin or Rojestvensky, or ony of the latter's are-what their plans are, or how strong either would be in battle Nothing is known, and per haps nothing will soon be known rel atiye to eithee side.

The Mobile and West Alabama rail road, and the Atlantic and Birming. ham railroad are each to be built to Birmingham this year. both being under contract, and each having about 300 miles of track to lay before they enter this district.
 All roads once led to Rome, but all roads now lead to Birmingham, Ut least in the southeastern states. As the railroads of the country are to a great extent unified, we may fairly say that all railroads lead to Birmingham, where twenty million tons of freight are offered to transporters year.
 At any rate we will get this year the Illinois Central, the Atlantic and Bir- mingham, and the Mobile and West Alabama. Threo railroads year will do. We will be in that way soon have reasonable transportation facilities pending the opening of the Warrior the year round to barge navigation.

statistics show that since 1865 2.5oOOOO people have left the south and that at this present time 100000 southern born whites are living in other sections and giving their energy to the upbuilding of the north and the west" remarked an observant Alabamlan at the Metropoli- tan, and it is high time the press and the people of this section were doing something to turn the tide this way.
 Tt is said to be a Aact that in the southern states we have only 75O,O0o peo- pic born elsewhere, and thus you see we Afve given two for every one received The value of an individual to a communi- ty is estimated at an average of s1OOOO when stated in dollars and cents. and on this basis emigration from the south means net loss to this section of s75o.

JUDGE SPEAKS ROMANCE.
Washington Post.

pIOfh lLe w TOSl.
 Since Judge Paul Speake of Huntsville has become so marked a figure, by req son of his unflinching opposition to Judge Lynch, it is difficult to think of him as anything but stern and serious man, ready to sacrifice himself for his ideal of law and order, but I heard something about him not long ago which shows him in quite another light. Several years ago Indeed 1t was as far back as when sleeves were worn as full at the shoul- der as they are again this season-a Huntsville woman went to Minnesota on a visit. There she met a girl who had great curiosity to know what southern men were like. The Huntsville woman had a great deal to say of a young man named Speake. She introduced him to the Minnesota girl by letter. He sent his photograph. The Minnesota girl sent hers in return. A correspondence sprang up. It waxed until-no, it isn't a romance l am telling That correspondence simply dwindled and died, but the letters of that Mir Speake-they are in Washington this very minute-may hereafter be of great interest to Judge Speake's biographers. They are excellent proof that a man may possess a fine judicial mind and still be able to carry on the most fascinating irritation by mail

The Philadelphia Inquirer comes to the support of President Roosevelt, who is endeavoring to drive the arbi- tration treaties through the Senate without amendment It has a great deal to say about the dove of peace. and the beating of swords into ploughshares and spears into pruning hooks. But, it says, $90,000,000 "are due by the southern states" It goes on to say:
 "As to those bonds, the time will cer- tainly come when the states involved must make some fair settlement with the creditors. It may not De that they must be paid in full, but as the states are back of them, anu in some instances. particularly before the war, the full credit of the state was behind them, it ought to be that some arrangement should be made for wiping off the blot which has existed 4jr forty years. It would not take a great deal to pay off all the debt, and to do so would be an excellent thing for the states themselves and the country at large"
 Those bonds, it adds, were bought abroad on the supposition that the nat

Freight and Passenger Traffic.

"The statement of ". A. Garrett, gem eral manager of the Queen and Crescent route that Birmingham has a brighter outlook than any other southern city seems to be the opinion of many other railroad men," said a representative of one of the roads running into Birming- ham.
 "The freight men like Birmingham be- cause 1t produces the greatest tonnage of any southern city. and the passenger men like the city because 1t Is grow ing rapidly as producer of passenger business. In the official figures of the roads Birmingham makes mighty big showing. The gains during the last year or so have been large in both freight and passenger traffic. and the indications are that the business this year will be at least 25 per cent larger than ever be- fore p

Cruelty to Animals.

''It seems to me that the humane of ficer would arrest half dozen of these negro hack drivers for cruelty to ani- mals this cold weather" said a man who Is on the streets frequently at night. Last night I passed along Twentieth street and there were at least a dozen hacks standing around the Woodward corner and the Dude corner, and only two of them he'd blankets over their horses. The poor animals were standing there actually shivering, and the wind was blowing at lively rate down Twen- tieth street. It was very cold and the horses suffered.
 Tn moderate weather a hack horse has a hard enough time standing up under the work he has to do, but in this cold weather 1t must be very hard on them to stand in the cold for hours.

The Baltic fleet sailed to the Indian ocean in three divisions--one' going round the cape commanded by Ad- miral Rojestvensky, one going through the canal by Admiral Voekerson, and one by Admiral Botrovoslly. The two first-named were to meet on the north west coast, and presumably in Diego Suarez bay, which is said to be the only harbor in Madagascar possessing water deep enough to float battleships. It is not known that the two fleets have combined their forces, but one of them at least is at or near Mada gascar The third division under Botrovosky left Suda bay, Island Of. Crete, on January 8, and it went through the Suez canal and is now in the Red Sea, presumably steaming to Madagascar.
 Not mucn more is known. One the ory is to the effect that the three divis- ions are to De concentrated and fused at Diego Suarez, and the whole is to await in that harbor a fleet which is billed to sail for Libau in the Baltic sea about February 1. It is to include the battleshif Nicholas I, built in 1889, the cruiser Monomach, built in 1882, anc three small battleships built about ten years ago. It will not be formid- able addition.

IERRAPlN TOMS RECORD
 OF STATEMENTS TASTES

From the Kansas City Star. IN the days when "Terrapin Tom'' pre-
 sided over the Congressional restau- rant in the south wing of the capitol building at Washington, the luncheon hour for the members of the lower House was a period of anecdote and conven- tionality, for even among the nations elect the personality of Thomas Jeffer- son Murray amounted to an influence. His official service of feeding the mighty lasted from 1892 to 1896. the appointment having been obtained through the kindly interest of Amos J. Cummings, who knew MT. Murray as a writer on culinary top les for a New York paper.
 It Is perhaps due to Tom Murray that history has a tersely humorous record of the gastronomic peculiarities of congressman, some of whom are now senators. The penciled record was kept in small brown book by the sister-in- law of the restaurant man, who acted as cashier, 1t being subject to his inspection and comment at the close of each day

CAPTAIN ROOSEVELT, BoATMAN

From the Chicago Journal.
 It Is an almost forgotten fact that President Roosevelts grandfather was the first man to navigate a steamboat on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Captain Roosevelt was close personal friend of Robert Fulton, inventor of the steam craft. Soon after Fultons successful voyage on the Hudson the captain con- ceived the idea of launching such a craft on what was then western waters.
 In the spring of 1911 the vessel was launched at Pittsburg and the Presi- dents grandfather began his voyage to the Gulf He entered the Mississippi during the throes of the earthquake which devastated so much of southern Missouri, but weathered the tumult suc- cessfully and continued his trip to New Orleans
