Montgomery, February 17.-(Special.)- The tip comes pretty straight tonight that the new judges to be provided for the Birmingham courts by the present session of the legislature will be appointed by the governor, even though the house provid- ed for election by the members of the two bodies. The senate, one hears, will arrange for the change, in the passage of the bills already indorsed by the house.
 It has been generally understood that these officers were to be chosen by the legislature, and candidates were already getting busy with the members. One very active aspirant had gotten enough votes pledged to elect him up to the time the measures were sent to the major por- ton of the assembly, it seems. There will be three new judges by reason of bills now pending, one for the superior and two for the city court.
 From what can be gathered there was a pretty warm contest over the manner of selecting these judges, much pressure being exercised bv leaders of both sides Naturally the governor desired to con- frof them, but some of those interested worked to keep this back. However, 1t ap- pears that he has won and will have the say so in selections to be made.
 Auburn Appropriation.
 Friends of the Polytechnic institute at Auburn are encouraged over a report that better things than they expected are in prospect. By bills now pending the school is to have $32,0OO a year maintenance.
 This is to be given from the general fund in lieu of the tag tax diverted to an- other purpose. However, the tag tax is growing all the time. and if the figure named is about it's rightful share, it will be more next year. With s56,000 a year for. buildings there will also be increased de- mands for maintenance. Hence, it is re- ported there will be devised a graduated plan, providing for s32,000 next year, s36,- GOO for the next, 000 for the next and s4OO00 for the next. The prospect is that most of the school bills will be passed the coming week, and that the slate will be pretty well cleaned up by Saturday.
 It is said tonight that the recess com- mittee has decided to adjourn next Satur- day week.
 Republican Says Hundey.
 A leading republican, one in close touch with the referees, stated today that Oscar Hundley is to be named judge of the northern district of Alabama if the creat- ing of the place goes through Congress When asked why he thought so, he said that the Huntsville man was very popu- lar with the President, and that those fighting him are enemies of the President. AS Referee Scott is in Washington, some were wondering here if the speaker had anything from there. Frankly speaking, few take the report seriously.
 Among republicans there are many to speak well of Shelby P1easants. Two leading democrats, one of this city, and one of Birmingham, expressed preference for him today as among the republicans talked of.

Wife in Lynchburg.

Lynchburg, Va, January 6-J R. Steele who 1t Is alleged wrecked the Fourth Street National bank of Philadelphia, yes terday, by throwing a bomb, and who lost his life at the time, worked here as concrete construction foreman for sev- eral months, and Mrs Steele and her To- year-old son were seen at their home to- night.
 Steele left her Thursday morning early, telling his wife that he was going to Danville. Va, to secure work on a railway construction contract. promising that she should hear from him by Saturday night. Up to tonight she had heard nothing from him.
 She did not know that his name was connected with the wrecking of the bank until today. There is no doubt in the minds of the friends of Steele from indi- cations in press dispatches from Phila- delphia that the bomb thrower is from this city. Those who know him well are not surprised, as they say that for some time he has been experimenting with ex- plosives and electric batteries.
 He frequently talked in a way that indi- cated thoughts of violent acts. His wife would become of her if she was suddenly left alone with no friends nearer than her home at Grand Rapids, Mich.
 When told of the statements attributed to Mrs. Irene Steele in Chicago Mrs. Steele said Steele was divorced from her before his second marriage. Steele failed ten years ago as a concrete contractor. He had sickness in his family and had been in debt and his friends here say Steele probably was driven to despera- tion by his reVerseS.

ANNUAL REPORT OF
 POSTAL DEPARTMENT
TWO SUBJECTS OF IMPORTANCE; INCREASE OF CLERKS SALARIES AND ABANDONMENT OF BACK STAMPS" ON LETTERS.

Washington. D. C., January 6.-Two at length in the annual report of Frank H. Hitchcock first assistant postmaster general. which was made public today. They are the proposition for increases in salaries of clerks in postoffices and the proposed abandonment of the back stamp on letters and postal cards. Prior to the publication of the report, MT. Hitchcock authorized the use of the parts of his report respecting those questions and they have been covered fully by the Associated Press. The report shows that at the close of the fiscal year, 65 500 postoffices were in operation and that the total number of employees, not in- cluding postmasters and associate post pastors, was nearly 15O.OOO The total per sonnel of postoffices of all classes ag- gregated 205,2SS.
 The gain in revenue from the post offices during the year was about $15,- 0O000-was unexpectedly large, and re- turns for the first four months of the present fiscal year indicate that the un- precedented gain is being maintained So
  out, that the additional appropriation re- quired of Congress scarcely will be suf- flcient to maintain the service.
 Should any considerable extension of postal facilities become necessary he says, still larger appropriations will be- come necessary
 In view of the large increase in the business of the department, MT. Hitch cock says, larger administrative organ ization is imperative. He urges that the present force of his bureau be strength ened by the appointment of additional higher grade men and the appointment the department in closer touch with the postal needs of the country
 During the past year the department mas gwen much study to the question of introducing a uniform system of ef- ficiency records of employes-a system that shall be open to inspection by all employees concerned
 Efficiency" MT. Hitchcock says. should be made the important factor in regulating compensation of postoffice employees All promotions should be based solely on merit
 The department has established uni- form rent for postoffice boxes, eliminat- Ing entirely the dissimilarity of charges heretofore prevailing. The rate is made according to carefully graduated scale and runs from 10 cents a quarter in small. fourth class offices to $4 a quarter in New York city offices.
 MT. Hitchcock reports that the use of specially equipped automobiles in the col lection service in Baltimore has proved so successful that the department is now planning for similar collection service ,, in several other cities.

Conspiracy Against Cuba.

Three persons mentioned in connection with the plan again to fo- ment trouble in the island were office holders of the Palma administration, two of whom are now in New York, and the other in Europe. According to these re- ports. arms and ammunition have been shipped elandestinely from this port to Cuba for possible future use Some of the contraband articles. 1t is said were buried near Mariel not far from Havana. This fact became known to the American au- thorities and a company of soldiers was sent to search for the rifles and cartridges which. however, had been removed to an- other hiding place.

YOUNG MEN DISCUSS
 MODEL HUSBANDS
TEXTURE OF Y. M. c. A. FELLOW SHIP LUNCH IS READING OF
 NOTES FROM Y. w. c. A. DESCRIBE ING THEIR IDEAL OF HUSBAND.

At the Young Mems Christian associa- .tion yesterday about thirty young men gathered around the table at a fellowship lunch and afterwards went into the dis cussion of the qualities that husband should possess.
 Sundry and various were the formulas for the composition of a model hus- band. He should make her believe that he knows more than she does; he should not put his pre-marriage promises in writing, for they might be brought up against him in the after days; he should not be perfect. because the wife would get a divorce if she couldn't find some- thing to fuss about, etc"
 The humorous side of the question was thoroughly discussed, but there were many valuable serious ideas advanced, among them, thoughtfulness. being Christian letting his wife continue to be his sweet heart and other good precepts.
 An interesting feature of the evening was few recommendations of the wives to be" on the subject. Secretary Bridges had gone 10 lHe lOhHS tian association and persuaded twenty of the young ladies to write on a sbp of paper one quality which each would like to find in her husband.
 Here they are As much lover after mar riage as before, pure as he wishes me to be, a gentleman in the fullest sense, that makes the most out of his- best self, intellectual, with heart and brain, truthful, considerate; faith, honor. courage. love and truth, these make the knerfect man; best Christian possible, to those which fate has decreed he shall possess, temperate in all things, a true Christian gentleman, true as steel, kindness and to provide, common sense.
 As an example of the enjoyment or these occasions, the following anecdote which was told, might be quoted; A newly welded man returned home late at nieht. gently opened the door. pulled off his shoes and went tip-toeng to his room. but the vii awoke and heard him. Dear, what time is it?' Why, its just Il o'clock, darling
 But just at that time the little rooster on the cuckoo clock sang cuckoo, cuckoo twice and no more The poor fellow was in terrible fix He had to stand there farefooted with his shoes in his hands and go Cuckoo the other nine times himself.

 AT ANARCHIST MEETING

New York, January 6.-Alexander Berk- states prison after having served four teen years for an attack on Henry C., Prick following the Homestead Pa, riots in 1892, Emma Goldman and two others were arrested today by detectives, who broke up an anarchists meeting in the East Side.
 Emma Goldman made the speech which moved the police to action. while Berk man exhorted the audience to dsobey the command to disperse. The other prisoners are John R. Corywell, who presided at the meeting, and Israel L. Schwartz, a youth of 16 years, who refused to leave the hall when it was cleared.

Berkman and Corywell are held as accessories, and were locked up. They will be arraigned tomorrow. Several hundred attended the meeting, which the chairman explained had been called for the purpose of form ing d club.

We will say to the government: Give us what belongs to us in peace and if you don't give 1t to us in peace, we will take 1t by force. As long l live and am able to explain myself. I will be opposed to government, and as l live and as my brain dictates. will use force against the government"
