CAMPAIGN IS TO BE
 INAUGURATED SOON
SIR HENRY CAMPBELL-BANNE MAN AND BALFOUR LEEDS WILL SPEAK AT ALBERT HALL THIS WEEK.

London. December 16.-The great poli- tieal campaign in the United Kingdom will be fairly inaugurated during the com ing week when the new prime minister, Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman will speak at Albert Hall London, and Balfour Leeds. It is expected the respective lead CTS of the government and opposition will then outline the main issues and plat forms of their parties.
 Alfred Lyttleton. colonial secretary in MT. Balfour's cabinet. speaking at Leam- ington tonight, said the unionists would place their first policy before the coun- try. This is taken to mean that the modi- iication of what is known as the Cham berlain policy is intended. MT. Lyttleton also said the unonists would base their fight against the liberals on Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman's well known home rule proclvites.
 With regard to the first policy MT. Lyttleton, who may be understood as speaking for the unionists, said the whole policy of his party would be for the pre- vention of unfair competition and colonial preference.
 Christmas week will bring an enforced truce between all parties as far as an active campaign is concerned. but the ac- tivity will begin again after New Year.
 The campaign, 1t is thought, will be short and sharp.
 One of the most interesting pieces of political news developing during a week, connected with the present movement, is the practical certainty that Lord Curzon, former viceroy of India, will represent the city of London in the house of commons in succession of Sir Joseph Dimsdale. It is recognized in all political circles that Lord Curzon is one of the coming men and petition is now circulating In the city requesting signatures, irrespective of creed or party Lord Curzons friends say he will undoubtedly accept. He is a con servative freetrader.

ALABAMA MAY GET LANDS BY 4 DEATH H. B. Lever of LowndeS Left Neither Will Nor Heirs GOVERNOR INVESTIGATING Whatever Property He Left Goes to the State After All Claims
 Have Been
 Settled.
GOVERNOR INVESTIGATING

Montgomery, December 16.-(special.) It has been discovered that H. B. Lever of Lowndes county, who died recently, left neither heirs nor will, and that, in accordance with several sections of chap ter A of the Code, what property he own ed at the time of his death goes to the state.
 As the estate is now in the courts look ing to the payments of some debts of the deceased, it cannot be told yet how much will be secured by the state The situa- tion was discovered incidentally by Gov ernor Jelks few days ago and he took it up with Judge H. c. Wood, judge of probate.
 The following is the letter written w. P. McGough of Hayneville. who has the estate in charge:
 Chief Executive Department-Alabam
 Montgomery, Ala, Dec. 16. 1905 w. P. McCough, Esq, Hayneville, Ala
 My Dear Sir-I am in receipt of let ter under date of December 15 from Judge J. c. Wood of your county. The letter is in answer to one which I wrote Judge Wood several days ago in which I gave him notice that I had heard of a death in Downdes county of a man who left no will and who had no heirs at law. called Judge Woods attention to the fact that under such an alleged state of facts, what was left, after the payment of the debts of the intestate, and the cost of the administration on the estate, would escheat to the state.
 Judge Wood, in answer to that letter wrote me as follows:
 Your favor of the 18th instant reach ed me this morning. I presume that it must be the estate of H. B. Lever, who died in this county more than year ago. and whose estate is being administered in this court by MT. W. P. McCaugh. There was very little personal property belonging to MT. Lever, and the real es- tate was sold under a mortgage which had previously been placed upon it by MT. Lever. Write MT. w P McCaugh, an attorney of this place, Haynevile. who is the administrator of the estate. He can probably inform you as to what amount of the estate will probably remain in his hands when he shall have had a final settlement
 My interest in the case as governor of Alabama is based on several divisions of chapter A of the Code of Alabama. Will you then advise me if he died without a will or heirs at law?
 Please further advise me the amou' of his debts at the time of his death witr the number of acres of land he left. and the description by numbers of such land Also the value of any personal property left by him, and the amount of the mort gage held against him and by whom il was held; when the lands were sold an6 | for how much You might also write me what you think will be the balance after the liquidation of all claims against tho | estate.
 1 All this is asked on the assumption that MT. Lever died intestate and without heirs at law. I am, very truly yours, ''W D. JELKS, Governor"

 Each of the presidents of the nine coal producing and carrying railroads will re- ceive letter from the convention com mittee and each Is expected to send a separate answer.
 The miners request that the operators meet with them to arrange the terms of employment to prevail at the coleres after April l next Is necessarily equiva- lent to a strike if the operators refuse but it means that the award of the an- thracite coal strike commission will be- come imperative.
