The Revolution In Cuba.

The Revolution In Cuba.
Word came from Havana that doz-
ems of prominent leaders Of the Liberal
party in Cuba had been arrested on the
charge of conspiracy against the gov
eminent and plotting to assassinate
President Palma. Among those arrest
ed was Jose Miguel Gomez, ex-governor
Of Santa Clara province, who was the
oDnosine candidate to President Palma
and leader of the Liberal party.
Government troops were rushed by
train to Pinar del Rio province, where
the largest force of rebels were, COM

been perfected for an assignment OF
support by Al Adams, the rich policy
king and ex-convict. It was estimated
that the losses to the bucket shops anC
their customers will be between S.,
100000 and 100000.
Glucose Trust Backs Down.
At least one seller of poisoned can
dy in Philadelphia has been compelled
to pay fine, the T. W. Woodwork
company and others have been held
for trial, while the sugar brokers and
representatives Of the Standard OILS
Corn Products company have issued a
circular saying that they have modi-
fed their process Of manufacture so
as to eliminate all presence Of sulphur
dioxide in glucose. Hereafter the glu-
cose instead of being water white will
be clear, but of yellowish tinge.
Indiana Versus Express Companies.
The Indiana railroad commission,
has brought suit to GUST the Adams,
American and United States Express
companies from the city and forfeit
their charters on the charge that they
habitually violate the law requiring the
delivery of packages within the cor
ulation of $500 or over. Suits were
also begun for the $500 penalty fixed
by law. 1t appears that the express
officials have fixed an arbitrary limit
beyond which they refuse to deliver
packages, thus requiring the consignors
livery companies.
Another South Carolina Lynching.
Robert Ethridge, a negro who was
identified as the assailant Of little
white girl, the daughter of well to do
farmer of Mount Willings, S. c., was
shot to death by the Infatuated neigh
bors. The fact Of the assault had been
kept quiet SO as to avoid possible inter
vention on the part of the state author
tiles
On the same day a thousand citizens
Of Atlanta were securing the northern
part Of the city for negro who had
assaulted two white girls, daughters Of
a prominent citizen near their home.
The fact that there have been six Grim
inal assaults on white women by ne
groes within three weeks greatly in
famed the spirit of race animosity, and
one evening paper openly offered $1,000
reward for the capture and lynching of
the negro then at large.
A Foreign Coin Counterfeiter.
The secret service men caused the
arrest on Aug. % at New York of
Captain George Boynton and members
of money press making firm on the
charge of counterfeiting foreign gov
ernment's mintage. 1t appears that
Boynton had started the mint of Ven
ezuelan bolivars with a view to start
ing a revolution for the overthrow Of
President Castro.

/ other parts Of the island, and the reb-
els, led by General Quentin Banderas,

oughly alarmed, appealed to the gov

revolution has revived much talk of
seeking annexation to the United
States.

riously wounded AZ. Besides this the

section Of the Caucasus bordering on
the Persian frontier.

The state department has received a
copy Of the new tariff law which Ecua-
dor will put into operation Nov. l. It
includes reductions on metals shipped
from the United States from to cent
pound. The president is allowed to

Alcohol Revolution Exaggerated.

Alcohol Revolution Exaggerated.
The report of Internal Revenue Com
missioner Yerkes, who was sent to
Europe to investigate the uses of dena-
tured alcohol, indicates + that the
promise of an industrial revolution
through the placing of this article ON
the American free list Is worthless
He says the fact Is that alcohol has
not yet been harnessed for effective
and economical use in the Industries
Nowhere in Europe do they propel
autos with alcohol or use 1t for light
or heat The picture OF the; farmer
distilling alcohol with which to. oper-
ate his own farm implements is mere
fiction.

AVENUE G Line IS
BEING CONSTRUCTED
NEW ROUTE TO AVONDALE BY
THE BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY,
LIGHT AND POWER COMPANY
TO BEsFiNIsHED IN DECEMBER.

Work has been commenced on the Ave
nue. line of the Birmingham Railway,
Light and Power company This is the
new line from Birmingham to Avondale,
running straight out Avenue to the east
ern limits of that suburb
A large froce Of hands was put to work
on this line last week and the construction
is being pushed as rapidly as possible. 1t
will be the middle of December before
the line is completed.
The line is over three miles long and
will be much the shortest route to Avon
dale 1t will be the third line Of the COM
pany to that suburb. one being the present
line out Avenue f and the other being
the East Lake line, which passes the
north side of Avondale.
Passenger traffic between Birmingham
and Avondale has INCREASED so rapidly
within the past two or three years that
an additional line was found necessary
The council granted the franchises to the
street railway company some time ago
but other construction work delayed the
commencing of the work on this route.
The new line will greatly reduce the time
required to reach Avondale. 1t Is esti-
mated that several minutes will be clipped
from the schedule of the cars on the
Avenue F route. The company will have
heavy ballasted track with heavy rail
on the new line.

Jane Remark appears as Betty Single
ton, in Clyde Fitchs play, 1.-THE Toast OF

morrow matinee and night According to
all accounts, Miss Remarks visit to Bir-
mingham should prove delightful dra-
matte treat. The Charleston News and
Courier contains a flattering notice in the
September 10 edition. Among other things
1t says:
Miss Jane Remark who appeared
last night at the Academy of Music In
Viola Aliens great success of last sea-
son, The Toast of the Town. by Clyde
Fitch, bids fair to rival her predecessor
in popularity and to make the story,
which is very human in conception and
extremely interesting, better known and
more fully appreciated. Throughout the
play Miss REMARKS work Is satisfac-
tory. and in the pathetic scenes as well
as in those of intense passion she rises to
every expectation. Tone, manner. gesture
and expression are true to the lines and
most convincing"

Saturday, Night RIOT
S B. Thompson General Agent of the Southern in Atlanta
Says That Many Representative Citizens Took Part in Riots
in Center ofGiy Saturday Night-DscusseS Situation

by passion. But in the center of the city
the heat of passion was responsible for
the white people mobbing the negroes and
killing them.
'Hoodlums and toughs, I believe, com
posed a large percentage of the whites in
the mobs on the outskirts of the city but
in the city a great many respectable men
business men and men well known in
Atlanta-partieipated in the riots.
THE riot was. of course, the result of
the brutal attempts to criminally assault
white women in Atlanta There have been
many such attempts within the past week
or two, and those acts naturally cause a
great deal of excitement
My porter was nearly mobbed. He es-
capped only by luck He started to the sta
ton to carry my grips to the car. lie
was stopped several times and threatened
but managed to escape. A prominent ply
siciau came along driving a cab, and he
knew Mack and took him to the station
THE negro hack drivers, dray drivers
porters and all others quit their BUSH
nesses and ran for thrr lives. Hacks were
left driverless on the streets and nc
groes were hard to find"

j. S. B. Thompson general agent of the
Southern railway IN Atlanta. arrived in
Birmingham yesterday morning and told
of the race riot in Atlanta Saturday night
Mack" Mr.. Thompson's porter on his
car, No. ia. had a narrow escape from
being beaten up or killed by the mob,
while carrying Mr.. Thompsons grips from
the. office to the station. His escape was
due to the assistance of a physician in
Atlanta who knew him.
THE trouble seems to have started on
Edgewood avenue, near the Equitable
building, early Saturday night" said Mr.,
Thompson. "A negro made some remarks
to a white woman and the crowd got
after him. They chased him down the
street, captured him and brought him
back to the Equitable building. where they
beat him to DEATH
''They killed another negro near my Of
flee and negroes were being chased and
beaten on all sides. I think that the
deaths and the attempts to kill negroes in
the outskirts of the city were due mere
ly to a general spirit of lawlessness, and
that the white people were not actuated

Der the petition was denied
a presiderI Of a western railroad whose
name was withheld wrote protest to
the commission in which he said among
other things:
IF you wink at the practice of export
ing cotton under such schedules az re-
quested you will later have to wink tho
other eye at the same r.aetiee In re-
gard to the export of wheat, flour and
packing house products The new law re-
enaets the Imprisonment penalty and for
this reason l have the right to protest,
and do protest against the interstate
commerce commission letting down the
bars which will render the efforts of a
company to obey the law useless and
which will result In a flood of Illegal prac-
tees and thus compel railway officers to
again sit in the shadow of the peniten-
tlary for the remainder Of their lives"
o. b. Colquitt of the Texas railroad
commission, who was asked by the inter-
state commerce commission for an opin-
ion in the cotton export rate case. said
that 1t would be absolutely impossible for
the railroads to make through rates to
stand thirty days, for the reason that
steamship rates which fiuctuate from day
to day are not within the Jurisdiction of
the Interstate commerce commission. He
added:
Il think you will find 1t about as diff
cult to regulate this particular matter OF
through rates, especially where said rates
are quoted to foreign ports, as you would
find 1t to regulate the daily fluctuations
of banking exchange where such fuctu-
ations may be controlled in the settlement
of balahces between New York, Liverpool,
Paris and Berlin, You may depend upon
1t that you will find 1t impracticable to
carry out every idea that the politicians
who drafted this law may have had in
mind at the time they wrote II.
Unofflcially it is stated that the pas
senger receipts of the Pennsylvania rail-
road on the lines east of Pittsburg and
Erie had increased over 100000 up to
September 1. This increase Is attributed
not only to the larger number of persons
travelling but also to the fact that the
passengers are paying fares instead of
travelling on passes. During the year 1905
passenger receipts of the Pennsylvania
railroad were s26 2S2, 1856. or about 81. 1870, 1873
per month, amounting in eight months to
$1752l,4 Pttsburg dispatches state that
the passenger receipts have increased 40
per cent This would bring the gain to
100000 for eight months. which Is highly
improbable, but 1t makes the estimated
gain of 100000 look reasonable. The
reduction in fares about to be made and
the more liberal terms on which mileage
books are sold will stimulate passenger
traffic and in the end increase receipts
still more.

HIGH GLASS MEN.

The approaching convention of the
American Society of Municipal Improve
ments in Birmingham promises to be one
of the most important ever held here. Ac-
cording to those interested in the mat
ters to be discussed at this meeting will
result in far-reaehing and permanent ad-
vertisement for this city.
The delegates to the convention will not
number owes 800 or AGO. but they will in
elude high class men, the engineers of
all the great cities and men foremost
In municipal improvement work in their
respective communities. They will be the
men whose opinions must have weight
with investors, captains of industry and
skilled labor, who desire to know about
Birmingham as a residence city and about
the natural resources of the district
This Is the first time that city engineers
in large body have ever visited Biz
mingham, and Ii is safe to say that they
will be surprised at what they find
Everyone who visits Birmingham for
the first time expressed wonder at the
city, and its marvellous possibilities The
visitors and delegates to this convention
are probably better able to appreciate
the city's opportunities than any class
of men In the world, and If they are
AeNolaoly impressed tHey Will go 1ortn
and prove of the greatest value as adj
vertisers of the city in all parts of the
