Advertiser Bureau.

AdvSrtiser Bureau,
 Mobile, Dec. 15.
 There was manifested disappoint- ment today among some of the inter, ested persons when it became known that the question of an early primary was not brought up at last nights meeting of the city members or the Mobile County Democratic Executive Committee.
 The most interested persons in the mooted question, naturally. are the candidates for sheriff. Some Of these havo been. urgent in their appeals TOT an early primary, while others felt the county committee should not order a primary for day other tnan that 10 be set for State offices.
 City members of the committee were kept busy Selling the news that the subject was not preached last night because of the absence of county mem bers, the latter not having any part Tn the conduct of the primary. It is more than likely a meeting of the committee will be called shortly winch candidates will be allowed to address the members on the question of a dual primary.

ARCTIC EXPLORERS SAFE.
Report That Ship Was Crushed by Ice
Denied by Letters.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 25.-Henry
Lund, the Norwegian consul at this port Is
In receipt of Information relative to the
Amundsen arctic expedition which con-
vinces him that the report from Dundee,
Scotland, that the expedition ship Gjoa has
been crushed In the ice at Boothia Felix is
erroneous The Dundee report was received
from Escuimaux. Consul Lund has infor-
nation directly from Captain Amundsen, in
the form of letters, which go to show that
the expedition passed Boothia Felix. where
the disaster is reported to have taken
place. some months ago in safety.
These letters contain much information
of interest with regard to the expedition.
1t appears from them that the expedition
expected to get through the northwest pas
sage his year and to have cleared the ice
and sailed for San Francisco during the
present fall.
The letters were received by Alexander
Nansen, of ChristianIa brother OF DIR.
Frithjof Nansen, three weeks ago. and cop
les were forwarded to Consul Lund here.
The letters were sent by Esqnimaux from
the Gjoa Magnetic station. King Williams
Land. to Hudson bay. and brought out from
there by whalers. They were dated Novem-
Der D. 1904, and May %, 1905. the latter
date being about twenty-one months later
than what ne had previously from Captain
Anuudsen.

HAWAIIAN DELEGATE EN- ROUTE.
Kalanianole Arrived ct Victoria-Talk-
ed Of Home Matters.

VICTORIA, b. c., November 25-Prlnce
Kuhio Kalanianole of Hawaii republican
delegate from Hawaii TO the Fffty-ninth
Congress, arrived today from Honolulu by
the steamer Aorangi en- route to Washing
ton.
Prince Kalanianole said the labor uues-
ton now confronting Hawaii is most seri-
Gus. The sugar plantations were the chief
industries, in fact, the mainstay of the
islands. Before annexation they depended
on Aslatic. mostly Chinese labor and now
that Chinese are not admitted the scarcity
of labor has become a serious question
Japanese were allowed to land bat were
unstable and unsatisfactory. Portuguese
and Galicians had been tried though they
did not meet the requirements.
Prince Kalanianole said he favored the
admission of a certain number of Chinese
under contract similar to the British sys-
know how the United States would favor
such scheme. Something has to be DONE
as the planters were suffering from lack
of labor
Hawaii also suffered by the operation of
the United States shipping laws, said the
prince He did not think there was suf-
ficient American shipping to fill require
ments and the operation of the shipping
laws worked hardship. and caused a loss.
He thought il unjust, but had TO be borne,
the islands were now part of the United
States. Many people were getting much
money from this traffic. The Japanese who
came to Hawaii seemed TO be the worst
kind. The prince said hts election had
been contested by the defeated candidate
Iawakea. who claimed the election was
illegal. He said he would easily show its
legality

NOT PLEASED WITH NATION.
Negro Bishop Criticises Uncle Sans
Treatmen of His Race.

CHICAGO, November pa dispatch to
the Tribune from Macon, Ca, says: Bishop
Henry M. Turner, the leading bishop in the
African M E. Church, made an impassioned
attack upon the government and the United
States Supreme Court in his annual address
yesterday to the Macon conference:
II am not pleased with this nation" de-
clared Bishop Turner. No man hates this
nation more than l do. When l go to say
my prayers l have a struggle to get to the
place where l am willing for God to allow
the United States Supreme Court to have
a part in my prayer. That damnable insti-
tuition has robbed the negro of every YES
tige of human or manhood's rights. The
men that compose that body may get to
heaven the best way they can, but IL is little
help God will grant for any request that L
make.
THE negro will never be anything In this
country but scullion until he shows his
manhood. Go to Africa and build UP
great nation that will command the respect
of the civilized world"
Bishop Turner, after a bitter arraignment
of the Rev. Thomas Dixon for his writings
and speeches against the negro, offered Mr..
Dixon $500 to meet him on amy platform in
the United States" in joint debate of the
negro question.

CHANGE IN PRACTICE.
Depot Quartermaster Abandons Con-
tract System for Transportation in City

Acting under instructions from the quar-
termaster general of the army, Capt. A w.
Butt, the depot quartermaster In this city
is trying the experiment of having all the
work of the army in This city
done by the teams and vehicles of the
quartermaster's department, instead OF let
ting out the work by contract, as has been
the practice since the Spanish war.
1t is officially stated that the change of
practice is due to the rapidly increasing ex-
pense of the contract system. Capt Butt
expects that the government will save from
$500 to $1,000 per month during the busy
season by doing its own hauling and trans
portation in the District 1t Is further
stated that the contract price for trans
porting local military supplies this year
is exactly double that of last year, and
that prices appear to be steadily increas-
ing. The facilities of the depot quarter
master in the matter of transportation,
have been largely increased within the past
few weeks by the abandonment of the depot
of St Asaphs and the transfer of the teams,
etc. to this city.

MR.. ROOT DECLINED.
Cannot Make Address Before National
Civil Service Reform League

Mr.. Eliot II. Goodwin, secretary of the
National Civil Service Reform League,
called upon Secretary Root today to invite
him to deliver an address at the national
league convention to take place in Milwau-
kee December II. While showing the live
liest interest in the subject Secretary Root
was obliged to decline the invitation, for
the reason that the date was one upon
which it was impossible to leave Washing
ton without neglecting public business, and
for the further reason that he felt he could
do more effective work for the cause of
civil service reform by addressing himself
personally and directly to the committees
of Congress during the approaching session.
The Secretary has given much thought to
that subject, and is preparing, in the case
Of his own department to lay before Con-
gress certain facts which in his mind JUS
tify a request for considerable increase
in the number of employees, for some re-
arrangement of the business methods and
for additional quarters. The State Depart
ment has been obliged to cope with almost
quadrupled duties since 1887 without a cor
responding increase of force, and many of
the employees are now obliged to work far
into the night to keep up current work.

ceiving stolen property. While in jail he
came under the notice of Mrs. Cliff.
Through her efforts Brown, on his convic
ton, was paroled to her instead of being
sent to Pontiac a second time. She took
him TO her own home and found him en-
ployment of various kinds. using her best
endeavors to turn him from his old ways
and associates.
For once Mrs. Gifts trust was misplaced
few weeks went by without Brown show
ing any longing for the old life. Then, a
month ago he disappeared.
Last Motuay morning BROWN Teappeareu
at Mrs. Gifts fiat and explained that he
had been working a driver for a grocery
store. Brown seemed deeply penitent, and
explained that he was out of his job and
without money, so Mrs. Cliff let him occupy
n room in her fiat that night. Her apart
ments are in the building in which Miss
Reese lived Last Tuesday evening Mrs
Cliff was surprised to see Brown enter the
fiat greatly excited. and with slight cash
on his right cheek. He told her that he had
been in fight on the street Mrs Cliff
dressed the wound and told him to go and
find honest employment Brown left and
an hour later Mrs. Cliff learned of Miss
