The race for the chancellor ship appointment had resolved itself into a contest between the friends of MT. Ben ners on the one side and the supporters of Sterling A. Wood on the other It was generally thought that in as much as the governor had honored MT. Benners with the temporary appointment he would con- tinue Mir Benners in office. The candi- dacy of MT Wood however. developed such remarkable strength that the sup porters of MT Benners were somewhat alarmed yesterday.
 The result of the contest, insures for chancellor, it Is said. a gentleman who Is generally acceptable to the bar of the Northwestern chancery division of Ala bama MT Benners Is a Middle Ala bama man. He came here half a dozen years ago from Hale county, where he was regarded as a good lawyer. Ills career has not, his friends assert, inn paired the reputation he had when he ar rived in Birmingham.
 MT. Wood, whose candidacy enlisted the hearty support of many representative members of the bar of Jefferson county and practically all the members of the bar of the other counties in the division, has been in Montgomery this week as state deputy of the Knights of Columbus to preside over a meeting of tn order He did not go 10 the capital to see the kovernor. but his friends were there in large number.

thai. the principal demands made by Japan on Rus
sia before the war. namely, the withdrawal OF
Russia from Manchuria and the introduction OF
certain reforms in Corea. cannot now stand as the
basis OF the demands Of Japan.
He said also that the basis of tho negotiations
will be on whatever each side holds the conciu-
sion Of the conference. Any further victories
either side from now until that time must be taken
into consideration in the making of terms.

Effect of Russian EmperOr's Mes

ST Petersburg. Aug. 1.-Emperor Nicholas's
martial message to the Orenburg clergy, in
which he expressed his determination never to
conclude a peace dishonorable TO Russia. is re-
printed in every paper in Russia to-day 1t
has struck responsive chord in many quarters
even among the friends of peace The EN-
perors words, however, by bear out
the construction placed upon them BY the jubi-
liant party. and do not at all exclude the
idea Of successful termination of the nego-
tiations at Portsmouth. but they certainly
strengthen the militant spirit aroused by YER
sions of the Sato interviews and the supposed
amount of the contribution to be demanded by
Japan.
Many bodies have urged the government to re-
sist too onerous conditions. For example the
