AnnistOn Gentlemen of the Green Cloth
 Are Alarmed.
 Anniston, Jan. 24.-(SpeciaL)- )-Is there to be crusade against gambling inaugurated by the police of this city? It is understood that this question was asked a large number of sporting men in the city yesterday as they gath cred on the street corners and talked over the situation.
 Certain 1t Is that consternation was thrown into the camps of more than one well known resort on Saturday night by tho appearance of police of ficers and summary demands to close the doors of the establishments and cease business or suffer the penalty prescribed by the laws of Alabama. Saturday night there were several quiet games in progress at as many resorts in the city, so us said by those best qualified to know about such mat ters. As least one place was visited by the officers. who however, were unable to obtain evidence enough to warrant the arrest of the parties in charge of the rooms. well known pool room was inspected by the police and as result eight or nine negroes were in court yesterday morning and fined $4 in each case for canning.
 Yesterday it Is said that the proprie- tors of several Noble street resorts, whose names were not given. received notices that their places must be closed tightly and that prosecution would fol- low if the law is not obeyed.s Natural ly this command has caused no little uneasiness amongst those who are in the habit of dropping around on Sun day for a quiet game and it is safe to say that there will be few ire quenters al these places Sunday next

Another Mass Meeting VIII Re Heia
 By EufauIu Citizens.

Eufaula,. Jan. 24.-(Special)-Inte est in the Alabama 5renau Is growing every day and the matriculation is con- stantly on the increase. The citizens seem more and more determined in their efforts greatly to enlarge the building. A committee of prominent business men has interviewed the cit izens and if was determined to hold another mass meeting next Monday night at the court house when 1t Is supposed some measures will be adop- ted. The institution is crowded to it's utmost capacity and will be entirely inadcquate to accommodate the pupils another session.
 Work on the new bank is progress ing nicely and the institution will be ready for business about the first of next month. The management has se- cured temporary quarters in the White House building now occupied by Scheuer Brothers.
 But little cotton is arriving and bus mess among the shippers is practical ly suspended. It Is known that in many sections around the city quite a quantity is still in the hands of the farmers who are under a pledge to hold.
 Rev. Bcrtram Brown is greatly pleased with the prospects for a church fund to be used towards erecting a new edifice to take the place of the wooden structure in which the mem- bers of his flock are now compelled to worship. The parishioners are all deeply interested and are willingly lending a helping hand.

Hardly Probable They Will Agree as y to Moroccan Control.
 Algeciras, Jan. 24.--The confidential exchanges now going on among the representatives of the powers in the Moroccan conference disclosed the ex- treme difficulty of arranging an agree ments that both France and Germany would accept. The German delegates put forward the attractive principle of disinterestedness and equal privi- 1eges for all countries. The French delegates on the other hand maintain that France cannot be disinterested They affirm that having followed an active policy in Morocco for eight years and having obtained numerous advantages. France should now be asked take the same position as all the rest of the world.
 France virtually enunciates in a modified form the principle of the Mon roe Doctrine in northwest Africa. She has acquired and holds position to- ward MoroAco that, according to her view, makes equal political influence with other powers impossible On the question of economic equality. she says: Yes" but on that of political equality she answers No" Germany insists on political equality with even more te- nacity than she does on the question of economic equality.
 The real struggle, however, is over the political future of Morocco. France would rather withdraw from the con ference than tie up the political destiny of Morocco by international control

 why did you not thrash him?''
 "It never occurred to me to thrash Colonel Mann."
 Here Mir. Osborne said he was as- tonished to hear the district attorney advocating thrashing a man. He said it was criminal to thrash any one.
 Mir. Jerome turning with d smile to MT. Osborne. said; And you are from the South!"
 MT Jerome then called Creighton Webb. In answer to questions put to him MT Webb maintained he had never been blackmailed by Town Topics and never had paid any consideration for any articles appearing in 1t.
 "Mr Jerome asked: "Dld you not go to see Colonel Mann because you had been badly treated"
 T did"
 What did he say?''
 He said that as I was public man I had the right to expect to be written up, but that if l objected to the articles he would have them stopped No ar ticles appeared adverse to me for some time afterward. When these did ap- pear saw Colonel Mann as an ex-of- ficer of the United States Army. In the summer of 1904 an article was pub Iished in Town Topics which caused me to leave Bar Harbor."

THE STRIKE SPREADS
HALE OF STUDENTS OF TALLADEGA
 COLLEGE QUIT.
trhooI May be Disrupted, as Faculty is Determined to stand Firm Enort to stamp Out Feeling
 of Equality.

Tal1adega, Jan. 24--(Special. )--The students strike at Talladesa college broke out anew today. At conference of the faculty and students 1t was agreed that MT Parks should remain as superintendent of the farm, but when it came to putting this in writing 10 be issued in circular the students again revolted and absolutely refused 10 work under MT Parks.
 President Nyce broke off relations with them and as matters now stand the disruption of tho school may result. It IS reported on the streets that there is rupture in tho faculty. but it is de- nied by the President and others, al- though they will not discuss the mat ter
 The report that MT Parks had a diffi- culty with one of the students is un- true That he is a Southerper is the only complaint against him. The gen. eral opinion prevailing among white citizens of Talladega is that the true situation is as follows:
 Through long and intimate associa- tton with their northern white teach CTS the negroes had come to the point of regarding themselves the equal of the preceptors, and when the issue re- solved itself into this shape, the white man took the white mans side. It Is understood that President Nyce has taken steps to stamp out some equality feeling that existed at the school, and this may be the real cause of the strike.
 Dr. Cooper. one of the officers of the American Mossionar5 Society, is eNpec- ted here tomorrow and it is not known what course he will pursue. The ofh- cers of the college hope he will be able to straighten out matters, al- though the association has already placed itself on record as standing by the president if the college has to be closed
 Many of the striking students are stili in the city and can be seen on the streets in groups together with local negroes and they all seem to be greatly excited.
 Some of the former students. preach CTS and school teachers are here and some are with the strikers and others with the faculty.
 Talladega college is a large institu- tion, owning four or five hundred thou sand dollars worth of property. The matter is attracting attention through out the country and on its outcome may hinge future efforts for negro educa- tion in the South. A late communica- tion from the college this afternoon stated that school had been running today minus half of it's students.
