NEW EMBASSY IN WASHINGTON. BraziPs Action COmpels Similar Course
 on Part of United States.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Brazil has finally determined to elevate her lega- tion at Washington to an embassy and will send her Minister at London, M. Nabuco-Asher. first ambassador to this action on the part of the American Government and as soon as the official announcement of MT. Nabuco's appoint ment is made, the President will send to the Senate the name of MT. Thomp- son, the American Minister at Brazil, to be Ambassador at Rio de Janeiro.
 MT. Nabuco is one of the most dis tinguished men in BraZirs foreign ser vice. He was formerly at Rome and about twenty-five years ago was in Washington as secretary of legation. America and is the author of an inn portant political history of his country. The Brazilian Government will main- tain an elaborate embassy here and her ambassador will have a number of secretaries to assist him. MT. Ferrera who is now acting minister. probably will be given a European post on the arrival of MT. Nabuco.
 The suggestion of Brazil regarding the elevation of the American lega- tion at Rio to the rank of an embassy was not encouraged by this Govern ment, but in view of what now appears to be its irrevocable intention to name an ambassador at Washington, this Government will be compelled by cus- tom to take similar action.

SUPREME COURT MEETS.
Important Decisions are Expected to Be Handed Down TOday.

Handed Down Today.
 The Supreme Court of Alabama met yesterday at noon, but decided not to sit in session until this morning at 10 o'clock when cases will be heard com ing up from the counties of Calhoun, Cherokee, Clay, Cleburne. DeKalb, Et- owah, Randolph, Shelby, St. Clair and Tailadega.

 Before the end of the week, probably today also, 1t is confidently expected that the fate of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Judicial Circuits will have been decided. Not later Is expected an opinion in the case of an attack on the Uniontown dispensary, which will af- feet most likely all dispensaries in the State which were established by acts of the Legislature passed during the sesion of 1903.
 The following lawyers are In attend ance on the Supreme Court: M. w. Howard and John A Davis, of Fort Payne; Amos E. Goodhue and Lawrence Lee, Gadsden; Hugh D. Merrell, Annis- ton; Col. S. w. John, Birmingham, and Col T. l.. Bulger, Dadeville.

By N. F. THOMPSON.

It is time for the manufacturers and employers of the United States to take the public fully into their confidence that there may be no possible grounds of misapprehension in any quarter re- gardfng the causes which are operating as an inpeIling force to bring about a parting or the ways between them ana the forces of organized labor:
 It is time for the rank and file or the labor unions themselves to understand whither they are being led. and IL they would hope to retain the respect and sympathy of employers and the pupllc that it is up to them to call speedy halt on their leaders who are taking them so far from their former moor ings.
 AS vet there has been no movement fin this country that had for It's object the crushing of unions" much as Ia bor leaders have sought to convey the Impression that those associations or manufacturers and employers that throughout the country had this for their sole purpose. but it had just as we'll be told now as later that unless the present policies of organized labor are changed there will be such move ment, and it will have as its strongest supporters the public rather than the employers of this country.
 Organized labor Is invited to consider that old saying thar the mills of God grind slowly, but they grind eX- ceeding small" and while public sentl- ment is sometimes slow in being aroused, still when 1t does undertake to right a public wrong 1t pulvertzes finer than the grist of the gods those who come under the pale of its condemna- ton ,oho, were not wilfully blind they would see for themselves that public sentiment is undergoing a radical change to, wards labor unions, and they would seek to correct it. certain 1t is that un- less this is done the present tendency will soon take the shape of d righteous uprising which no power can success ftilly withstand. Does any one doubt this? If so than let the following facts speedily convince him ot his error. , ... ..,.,,-, in the United States it had stronger friends than existed among the em- ployers of the codntry, and 1t was one fistin gushing feature of the move ment that the friendship and sympa- fhy of employers was eagerly sought hv inc then leaders as the one pre- reouisite of success or their cause;
 Let this truth go on record ana leI Eirnificance, for 1t emphasizes more strongly than any words can convey inst how great have been the changes purpose. otherwise there would be nc cause for employers to be now or Ranizing against 1t.
 In the beginning or the movement employers very generally thought they saw in it system that would bring with it greater skill, increased loyalty hfgher intelligence. ana stronger bond: frerard between their employees and themselves with a stronger spirit oi sraternal esteem for all workers, ana these were its promised results ,anc now let it be proclaimed from the hill tons and in the valleys that agains thsse things there was not heard in op position the voice of a single employer from one end of this land to the other rrhara is no employer anywhere toda! hut what prefers skill intelligence invalty and conscientious discharge o

Berlin, Jan. 9.-The unrest in the Rbenish and Westphalian coal districts increases and the possibility of a gen. eral riot seems nearer.
 The coal companies appear to be de- laying their replies to the miners de- mands because as yet they have not reached an agreement among them selves for identical action. The man ufacturers are nervously laying in stocks of coal in anticipation of a strike. The coal syndicate, the collec- tive selling agency, has not raised prices and proceeds as though no strike is possible.

New York City.
 New York Jan. 9.-New Years reso- lutIons and an advance from 1-2 to f 1-2 per cent in the interest rate have resulted in an unprecedented rush to deposit money in some of the larger savings banks in this city.
 The rush reached its height today when it became necessary to call eight policemen to preserve order among the great crowd awaiting at one of the big banks to deposit their savings. The number of persons who called at the receiving tellcr's window in this bank today was considerably more than 4,000. Some stood in line all day from the time the bank opened at 10 o'clock un- til it closed at 3 o'clock this afternoon, awaiting their turn.
 Tomorrow is the last day upon which deposits may be made to draw inter est during the first quarter of the year.

EXAMINER REPORTS MARENGO
 PROBATE JUDGE IS SHORT

charged with, I am sure that I have not charged him with single item about which there Is any doubt what ever.
 "Apologizing for the length of this report the same is respectfully re- mitted.
 e. F .Sedberry, Assistant Examiner of Public Ac-
 counts
 As to the Tax Assessor.
 Individually about the work of As sessor Grayson, of Marengo County, Examiner Sedberry has the following to say:
 "I find that the assessors books for the year named have been examined by Hon. John T. German. Hence have examined the same only with special reference to the valuation of property in the county and find the as- easements exceedingly low, and from the best information obtainable it ap- pears that the assessor, MT. Grayson, instead of fixing the value of property as required by law, allows the prop erty owners to assess their own Valua- tions. which, in many cases, are far be- low what they ought to be.
 Tn some cases I find land assessed as high as $10 per acre. but such in- stances are rare exceptions, the aver age price being below $3.50, while thousands of acres are as low as $1 $1,50 and $2 per acre. when the timber on 1t would sell for twice that sum and this is what is claimed to be one of the rich counties of the State.
 The present assessor promises to in crease the values for the current year over any previous year.
 The condition of books of the follow. ing officials of Marengo County was reported as good by the examiner: W K. Thomas, Superintendent of Educa- tion; I. s. Adams, Tax Collector; T J. Jackson, Sheriff; A. L. Nasty, ex- Sheriff, and c. B. Cleveland, Clerk o1 the Circuit Court.
