ChOate Principal speake
 at Unveilfng.


 London, Jan. 1.-The statue of Lord Russell of Killowen. former lord chief justice of England, largely subscribed for by the American bar, was unveiled by Lord Chancellor Halsbury at the Law Courts today in the presence of a large gathering of prominent mem- bers of the bar and the entire stan of the United States Embassy.
 Ambassador Choate was the princi- pal speaker and was accorded a most cordial reception. He said it was not too much to say that the late chief justice did as much as any man to bring about the present friendly atti- tude of the United States and Great Britain. MT Choate, who departed from his usual custom and read his speech, referred to his approaching re- tirement which was commented upon editorially in fiattering terms by The London Times this morning. During the course of his remarks Mir Choate said that he was glad he would /be in England yet awhile.

 Vessel.


 San Francis,p, Jan. 11.-A, strike of sailors when the vessel on which they were employed was in imminent dan ger of destruction, was novel phase of the labor question brought to light during the investigation into the dis aster of the steamer Lamke. When it appeared as though she was about to go to pieces, Captain John W. Carl son. master of the Lamke. ordered the crew to jettison some of the deck load in order to right the vessel.
 To his astonishment and indignation the sailors went on strike. They re- fused to lift a hand unless the captain would agree to pay them overtime Captain Carlson. by the exercise of di- plomacy and cajolery succeeded in in- ducing them to save the vessel and end the strike.
 The crew were all foreigners and there was not an American among them.

TO IMPROVE THE CITY
RESOLUTIONS OF SELMA WHICH
 WILL NOT BE BROKEN.
Dallas Metropolis Anxious for Amend
 ment of Constitution In Order That Bonds May be Issued For BettePncnts.
Advertiser Bureau,

A0vertiser Bureau, Selma, Jan. II. Selma made several resolutions the first of the new year which from all indications will be carried out. The one that stands pre-eminently inasmuch as the others are its off, springs, was that concerted movement would be made to throw of the yoke that has so repressed her advancement, That is, the citizens through the City Council and Commercial and Indus- trial Association would get in readi- ness an argument to be presented be- fore the next legislature to authorize
 an election for the purpose of voting for constitutional amendment plac- ing Selma in the class with the larg- CT cities of the State that she might
 issue bonds for improvement. The others grow out of that rcsolu- ton although some of them will be carried out long before the yoke can be thrown off. Selma resolved to have
 paid fire department before this year passes into history, and to acquire ownership of the water plant and to pave some of her streets. Besides this Selma Is still hopeful of getting the
 Federal Court through the efforts of Senator Pettus and Congressman Bow ie.
 The paid fire department movement interests the citizens more at this time than any other of the other plans for the citys improvement. and it appears 1 by far the most certain. The Com
 mercial and Industrial Association was to have held a session last night, at which the chief topic of discussion
 would have been about the plan inau-
 gurated by the council. but on account of counter meetings the attendance was
 comparatively small and as the associa- tion wants its entire membership to take part in the discussion the ses- sion was postponed until next Tuesday night.
 Mayor Atkins. Councilman Norris and representative of the Commer- cial and Industrial Association will go to Atlanta next week to investigate
 insurance conditions and other matters
 and when they return the mayor will | call special meeting of the council when definite action will be taken, It is believed that in the course of the next few weeks Selma's fire de- | partment will be as adequate as any in the State. thus relieving her citi- 1 zens ofs enormous insurance rates Marriage Licenses Issued.
