Efforts To Insure United Action To
 Re Renewed After Tuesday.
 Washington Special to New York
 Democratic Senators will not hold caucus on rate legislation at present. A movement in that direction proved a failure today, only twelve signatures twenty-two are necessary. The effort will be renewed after next Tuesday The purpose of the caucus is to unify the Demacrats on the Bailey amend ment to prohibit the granting of re- straining orders and injunctions, also to make all ire political capital possi- ble out of the rate issue.
 Senator Tillman brought forward the fixing of the date for voting this after noon, He said that all the Senators on his side will have made their set speeches next week. Mir Aldrich said it would be time to take the matter of a final vote up after the speech-mak- ing closes. MT. Tillman asks how May 1 would be regarded. but Mir A1drich made no reply. It Is strongly hinted that when MT. Aldrich has matters ar- ranged to his liking he will ask for the fixing of a date.
 The assertion Is being repeated that sufficient votes are available to adopt any amendment that may be agreed upon by Mir. Aldrich and his followers. It is said forty Republican Senators re- main firm for this proposition. Five Democrats are named who will support this plan, and it is asserted that at least twelve Democrats will finally vote for a broad judicial review. The five Demo crats named are Messrs. Morgan, Pettus' German, McEnery and Teller.

A GREAT yIcroRY.

According to the Congressional Rec ord of April {, Mir. Richardson asked Mr Underwood, Do the terms of the bill under consideration interfere with the length of the e'terms of the court, ai- lowed. for instance, at Huntsville. Ala bama?" Mir Underwood answered.. The terms of this bill do not inter fere with any court except the court at Birmingham. It says nothing about any court. It merely provides If Judge Jones cannot hold our court, he shall call on the circuit judges and ask them to send somebody else to hold court" Mir. Richardson then asked, Gan he not do that under the present statute?'' MT. Underwood answered. Yes. but this makes it mandatory that he shall do it." Is it possible that Mr Underwood did not know. what every lawyer m Birmingham knew, that Judge Jones had long ago asked the aid of Judge Toulmin, and that Judge Toulmin un- der an assignment from the circuit judges had been holding a court in Birmingham. and at that very moment was holding a court there? Was 1t a great thing or just thing for mem- Der to get up in the Congress of the United states, and insist on "manda- tory" statute to compel faithful judge to, do what he had already done? Did any human being ever doubt Judge Jones's willingness and desire to get other judges to come to his help at Birmingham? Mir. Underwood says his great victory merely provides If Judge Jones cana hold our court, he shall call on the circuit judges and ask them to send somebody else to hold court" A great many good lawyers know the Dill. though passed largely on this .ar- gument, means great deal more. If it means anything. it means that Judge Jones. as judge of the Birmingham court. must give that place six months of court any how. If he can get the help. all right. If not, he must hold the court himself, and do the best he can with the other courts. with such help as he can get. If the amount of help is not greater than it has been. all other places must be sacrificed
 The court record in the northern dis trict show that Judges Shelby. Toul- min and Boarman have held different terms of the court there. Judge Touf- min has held terms at Anniston and Birmingham and the other two judges at Huntsville. The total number of days help for Judge Jones from other judges in the northern district in the last four years Is PAY, or an average of about two months a year.
 Nobody can point out where any more help can be had in the future, no mat ter how loudly Judge Jones may cry for help under the spur of Mir. Under woods bill The lawyers in the var ious places who are protesting against this bill know what they are doing. The last place to protest to the Presi- dent is Huntsville. As it was. the bill had to be hurried through with two of the Alabama members absent, with out consultation by the delegation and some of them kept uninformed as far as possible. to get it through at all. Verify the great victory!"

 Since the Fist of October Hon. B. B. Conner, president of the Alabama Rail road Commission, has been devoting the most of his time in a campaign endeavoring to show the people why he should be elected Governor of Ala bama
 He has abused everybody that did not swallow his utterances. and also, talked about other peoples taxes while he was very cautious not to refer to his own taxes, and the class of people who were in his service, and made his fortune. MT. Conner has had smooth weather for a while. Now the scenes will change. Another is to contest the honors with him. Lieuten- ant Governor Cunningham Is now on the stump and will continue his cam paign until the 27th of August. and will show to the voters of Alabama tho he has a record, and a right to ask the people to elect him their Chief Executive Dr. Cunningham Is not afraid of his record, as a citizen, nor as an official and from now on the campaign is gotne to Le full of ginger and interest,
 Mir. Conner is proposing to be dicta- tor of Alabama and demand that the people elect Senators and Representa- tives of his naming. The people of Alabama have not been accustomed to such proceedings and We will be mis- taken If hey submit to it at this or at any other time

 Montgomery has inaugurated movement to increase her population to 109,000 by the year 1910, and her open handed citizens have subscribed handsome sum to advertise her possi- bility of future greatness Montgom- cry is one of the best cities and mar kets in. the South, and The Argus hopes she will be eninently successful in her undertaking-she deserves 1t. In order for her to be successful in this new undertaking there are sev- eral things necessary for her to do: one. not the least of which is for her years ago almost every bale of cot ton raised in Coosa county was mar keted in Montgomery, and all the sur plus products of the farms in Coosa market. Nearly all the dry goods and groceries consumed in Coosa was purchased in Montgomery. In fact, our people looked on Montgomery as the home market, and patronized her as such, but the passing of the Central of Georgia railway from Columbus, Ga, to Birmingham through the northeast ern portion of this county changed stead of f1n6.ng their market in Mont- yomery. fird it in Birmingham, Annis- ton, Columbus, a other cities north Tnd east, and our pevoie find a market in the towns Gituated on the railroad tor thc!r cotton and other farm ;"ro- duce. .;he center or Coosa is within forty miles of Montgomery; she has a virgin forest Of more than l00,60 acres of the finest pine, oaK, hickory, popular and other mercantile timbers she produces Dlore than 20,000 bales of cotton annually, besides q large amount of other tarm produce. and but very little of 1t flnds it's way now to Montgomery. The cause of which Is. Montgomery has never made an effort 10 secure a rai' .oad into this section. Not only has Montgomery lost all this trade of Coosa, she has lost to a great extent the like trade of the northern part of Fillmore.
 There is only one way. for Mont gurate and push to finish the build ing of a railroad from Wetumpka, on to Equality. Nixburg. and then on to Rockford. A road along this route from Wetumpka, as could follow the old plank road and almost a grade from Nixburg to Rockford is furnished
 Should it be deemed 100 expensive to build regular railroad. an electric line could be built that would answer all purposes and to generate frn the an abundance of power to furnish all the electricity needed.
 The people of Coosa would render ttll aSSlSldnCe III thSH poWST III puiiu- ing the above namedt roads, but are not able to furnish all the capital necessary to do the work.

The HortIanu (Me.D Sunday TeleSram has this to say on the big navy ques- tion:
 Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte is in full accord with Admiral Dewey on the necessity of a large navy. He realizes that all the great battles of the future will be fought upon the seas and that big ships and many of them are our greatest safeguards.
 Such arguments as that have been used till they ought to be relegated to the junk heap. If he knows that all the future great battles are to be fought on the water he is possessed of much more than human wisdom. Not only does he not realize" anything of the sort but the chances are largely against it ever being true Nor is It any sounder argument to assert that the only safeguard of this country will consist i'll big ships and many of them. This country has nothing to apprehend from any other unless it needlessly provokes hostilities. There is no na- tion that desires to conquer the Uni ted States, or that would attempt 1t. The Secretary's arguments are of the big stick order and should have no weight.
