AWAITING TRIAL TRIP.

Chicago, Sept. 10--A special cable to The Record Herald from Spitzbergen, dated August 31. via Tromsoe, Norway, September 10, signed by Wellman says:
 "The airship America has been walt ing fortnight for an opportunity for trial trip and start for the pole. It Is ready to depart at any hour. Strong winds have been bolwing con- stantly from the north for three weeks and it is impossible to take the ship from it's anchor without causing instant destruction. It has been the stormiest summer koown in Spitzburgen in thIr- ty years. The winds during August have averaged thrice the velocity dur ing August last year. Nearly all are from the North and a blizzard is now brewing.
 we shall wait few more days for favorable weather for starting. after that the sun win be too low to permit voyage. If the America starts the crew will consist of three men, We'll man, Vaniman and Riesenberg, Major Hersey will be left out because of ill., ness. The airship is in perfect condi- tion."

TIME NOT YET RIPE
NO DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS FOR AN
 OTHER SESSION.
Ex-Governor Hayward of south Caro- lina Thinks it Makes Little Dif- ference Who is Nominated.
 On Brink of Pr0hibftion.

Ex-Governor D. c. Heyward of South Carolina, arrived in Montgomery yes- terday morning and spent the day at the Exchange Hotel. Mir. Hayward was one of the most popular Chief Executives that South Carolina ever had. and is known all over the South for his true Southern characteristics
 T haven't paid much attention to national politics recently" said Mir. Heyward. when asked what South Car olinans though of the booming of Will liam Jennings Bryan for the Demo cratic nomination. My idea Is that 1t will make little difference who the Democrats nominate on the next ticket The time is not yet ripe for a Demo- cratic victory. and another session will have to roll around before the people of the country will rise up and demand a change.
 South Carolina, like all Southern States, is just now on the brink of prohibition. I would not like to pre- dict what the outcome will be. but the prohibition sentiment is very strong, and I would not be surprised to see a general bill passed at the next session. Conditions have been such that the people are tired of the dominion of the liquor element, and are willing for anything that promises a change"
 Governor Heyward left the city last night to continue his tour of the cot ton States.

FIRE DESTROYS HOME
 OF NEGRO PHYSICIAN
Residence of Dr. Washington, on Douglass Street and Adjoining Cottage Go Up in
 Flames.

Two residences on Douglass Street. between Hall and Jackson Streets, were last evening totally destroyed by fire that originated in the residence occupied by Dr. Samuel s. H. Wash ington. a negro physician, through some cause unknown. The ire en tireiy wiped out of existence the phy- sician's residence, as we'll as the dweIl- ing occupied by Joe Nesbitt, a negro carpenter, which adjoined 1t.
 The blaze was detected about 11:3O o'clock, but had spread rapidly before the fire apparatus, which was at once sent to the scene, could reach the con dagration. Both houses were com paratively new They yielded readily to the spread of the flames.
 Many of the household effects of both residences were saved before the blaze had spread sufficiently to nec- essitate withdrawing from the build ing, but many articles of furniture went up in the flames. The liberal play of the hose prevented the spread of the fire to dwellings near the burn ing buildings, and the flames were in entire check at 12:15 o'clock this morning.
 Both houses were very neat cottages. The loss to the owners. Messrs. Winter 6 Loeb, had not been calculated this morning. Both residences werein- Sured.

CRUSIUS CASE N0LLE
 PR0SSED; TODD DISMISSED
Neither Defendant in Military Cases Before Recorder Baber Is Pun- ished for Battery
 Disorder.

In the Recorders Court yesterday the case against Milton W. Crusius, the young white man charged byl Cap- tain George Todd with embezzlement of a Government uniform, was nolle pressed by Judge E. F. Baber. and the assault and battery case against Captain Todd, sworn to by Crusius, was tried on its merits and the de- fendant discharged.
 The hearing of the cases against the two military men was the cause of a crowded room when the court was opened yesterday. and the greatest in- terest was centered in the defendant in each case.
 After the taking of the testimony in the case against Captain Todd. evi- dence was produced in the court that led the Recorder to view the disorder as calculated for assault. the incen- tive being sufficient, and the officer was accordingly discharged.
 Insufficiency of evidence as to the intent on the part of Crusius and the custom observed in the matter of Gov ernment uniforms led to the dismissal of the other case.

7rainload of Merry Maidens

One of the gayest trains that has de- parted from the Union Station in many a day will leave this morning at S:16 o'clock over the Western of Alabama. A bevy of beautiful girls to join their friends all along the road Is going to the Judson College at Marions where they hope at the end of the year to become-some of them-sweet girl graduates of that popular institution.
 The train is made up at Montgomery and will pass through Selma, where more pretty girls will also board the special The train will be fin charge of the President of the institution, Robert G. Patrick.
 Most of the young ladies came to the city last night over the various roads and either spent the night at one of the hotels or with some former school chum. Patrons of the New Exchange were astounded to see their bright faces in the lobby of that hostelry last night exchanging greetings, and won dered what all the excitement was about
 Lucky is the student of the NJ. M. I. who is able to go on this train this morning-but there is the dire possi- bility that no one except those bound for the Judson will be allowed to go on the special.
 Many Montgomery girls will join the merry party this morning, among them those who have been to the popular school before and those who go for the first time.

IS NOT CONCERNED. Labor Commissioner NeiII Through With Telegraph Strike.

With Telegraph strike.
 Oyster Bay, N. r., Sept, 10-Labor Commissioner Neill is no longer con corning himself with the telegraphers strike and his original effort to bring about peace between the telegraph companies and their former employees, represented all the part taken by thS administration in the controversy Re- ports to the contrary were denied by the commissioner upon his leaving Sagamore Hill. where he had luncheon with the president today.
 Others at the luncheon were Secre- tary Struas. of the department of com merce and labor, Lawrence F. Abbott tary Straus made a verbal report on his recent western trip to President Roosevelt and Commissioner NeiIl took up with the president certain difficult ties which have arisen in the attempted enforcement of the eight hour law The tlegraphers strike was not con- sidered. Commissioner Neill said that since his preliminary efforts to settle the telegraphers strike he had taken no part in the controversy and that the efforts which had failed, represent ed all that had been done by the ad- ministratiOn in the matter.
 The strike he said was not considered today and he contemplated no further activity in the matter. President Roosevelt he added, had never asked for a report on the question from him and unless such a request should be made, he would not give in detail the failure of his initial and only efforts to bring about cessation of the strike

SHERIFFS WANT PAY
AUDITOR TURNED DOWN NEW
 FEEDING BILLS.
Believes It Is Violation of section 2sI of the Constitution--Attor- pey General Ap-
 pealed To.

Awaiting a decision of the Attorney General State Auditor W. W. Brandon has declined to pay the increased al- lowances to sheriffs for feeding prison- CTS on the ground that 1t Is contrary to Section 2S1 of the Constitution, which provides that the fees and com pensation of State and County officers shall not be increased or diminished during their term of office.
 The matter was brought tef the att tention of the Attorney General off, cially yesterday. and he now has the matter under advisement. A large number of sheriffs in the State will be affected by the decision, and not a lit- tie interest centers in the decision of the Attorney General.
 At the last session of the Legisla- ture bill was passed, through the eff forts of the sheriffs and their friends, increasing the scale of remuneration for feeding prisoners.
 When the Auditor refused to pay out money according to the new act, but continued issuing vouchers at the old scale, the sheriffs made an appeal, af- guing that the feeding of prisoners was not fee or remuneration, but a return from the State for money which they expended to provide food for State prisoners. and therefore, does not come under Section 281 of the Constitution.
 The bill was passed in the Legisla- ture when 1t was shown that the in- creased cost in all foodstuffs was such that the old allowance of 30 cents per day for each prisoner was too small Especially was this true, 1t was ar- gued. where there were but few pris- oners.
 The new law provides that sheriffs shall be allowed 40e cents per day for i've prisoners or less. 37 1-2 cents per day for from five to ten prisoners, 35 I cents per day for from ten to twenty prisoners. and all over twenty prison CTS, 30 cents per day.
 The point on which the Attorney General will rule Is whether or not the pay for the feeding of prisoners is lee, and affected by the state Constitu- ton. If he decides that 1t Is not, and that 1t is but the refunding of money paid out by the sherlffs for the suste- nance of State charges, and in the na- ture of an expense account, the in- creased allowance will be paid to the sheriffs. including the back amounts that have accrued under the new scale.
 It is believed that the sense of the law is that the allowance is not made for the profitable feeding of the pris- oners. but is for the purpose of paying a just price, whether 1t be large or small.

TALK OF WAR
 IS ALL B0SH Japan Is Friendly to United States. 50 SAYS DISTINGUISHED JAP Tomosuke 0kayama Touring Cot
 ton States. His Country Using More and Mere of southern Product, Which Is Rec oEnized as of Superior
 Quality.
so SAYS DISTINGUISHED JAP


 My observation of American news paper customs Is that they publish the end or the story before they start it. ana are consequently often mistaken in tneir deductions" said Mir. >Tomosuke oRayama, subject of Japan, who Is Tn montgomery for a few days study ing cotton conditions in this State for information of the Oriental exporting house of Mormura, Arai & Co, of New York.
 This talk about a war between Ja- pan and America is all foolishness, and the clashes between few irresponsi- Die citizens of both nations has been made the basis of much war talk"
 MT. Okayama arrived in Montgomery yesterday. after a trip through Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana, Wnere he has been studying crop con- ditions. He is also very familiar with the California troubles between Americans and Japanese, and stated positively that these amounted to nothing, more nor less. than acts of irresponsible citizens of both coun- tries.
 Japan has no more idea of going to war now than have of assassinating your great President. Our country is in no conditions for war with one of the great powers such as England or America. especially where we have no just cause. It has pained me much to see the exaggerated reports that have been printed and the erroneous con- struction that has been placed on many acts of the Japanese.
 Japan Is now seeking to establish close commercial relations with Amer lea. Ours Is great country, as well as this, and after years of hard fight ing. our people want to turn their swords into pfowshares, and repair the devastations of war;
 MT. Okayama is highly educated. and Is closely related to some of the next families to the royal blood of Japan. He speaks English fiuently, and his animation is typical of his race. His little black. beady eyes are so in telligent looking that one can almost divine what he means before he speaks 1t. He Is small in stature, but under his neat dress, which Is of the latest and most expensive fashion, there is evidence of wonderful muscular devel- opment.
 We recognize in Japan, and in Chi na the necessity for using American cotton. It Is vastly superior to that raised in the Orient, and we are using more and more of it every year. Many of my fellow countrymen are studying manufacturing conditions here for use in Japan, and I believe that within a few years, Japan will be one of the large cotton manufacturing countries.
 q have found crop conditions fair 1y good wherever I have been, al- thought confess that I am not an expert at this. My travels now are more largely for the purpose of &C., quainting myself with the cotton rais- ing districts than for any official re- port on the prospective outcome of the crop. am very much interested and shall complete my tour through Georgia before returning to New York"

 The conflagration originated in the cottage at No. 3S, through some cause unknown. and rapidly spread until the building was almost entirely consumed and the adjoining house in flames. None of the household effects were insured though the majority of the articles were rescued from the building before damage was done.
 The residence occupied by Mir. Bar field was only partially burned, the chief damage being done to the roof.
 The fire department responded promptly to the alarm, and was responsible for checking the flames and the prevention of further spread. The damage done by the blaze has not been estimated.
