EXCITING STORY
 TOLD BY SPANIARD
DECLARING THAT HE ESCAPED FROM FILiPINoS, HE TELLS OF 4ooo SPANISH PRISONERS ON AN ISLAND.

Madrid. October 2s.--A Spaniard named Bulgueria, a recent arrival from Ma nila, has caused some excitement here by a story to the effect that there are moro than 1000 Spanish prisoners ill Bulacan province, Island of San Juan del Monte. They are held by Tamelos, who compel them to drag their ploughs. They are whipped and treated like beasts of bur den and the only reward they get Is a scanty ration of green corn.
 Bulgueria has related his story to . correspondent of Fl Pueblo, and he says that in June last 90 Spanish prisoners tried to escape by swimming. Practically all were drowned, he says. but he suc- ceeded In landing on the opposite bank and was subsequently able to reach Ma nila Then he went to the American au- rhorites, who provided him with passage for Cadiz. He reached that port in Sep tember. but was only able to reach his native town a few days since. where he had long been given up for dead.

CONFERENCE TO BE
 HELD IN ATLANTA
GOVERNOR coMER WILL CONFER WITH GOVERNORS OF GEORGIA, NORTH CAROLINA AND POSSIBLY WITH VIRGlNIA'S EXECUTIVE.

Atlanta, October 2S.-Governors and at torneys general of three and possibly four southern states will meet in Atlanta next Friday and discuss the railway passenger rate situation with a view to reconciling the conflicting laws of the states interested. This date was fixed today after long distance telephone con- versation between Governor Conner of Alabama, at whose suggestion the meet ing will be held. and Governor Smith of Georgia. Besides these two executives Governor Glenn of North Carolina and possibly Governor Swanson of Virginia, will be present with the attorneys gen eral of the states named.
 At the present time there is no uni forinity in the rates prescribed by the railroad commissioners of the states. In Georgia a sliding scale of rates from cents a mile upwards obtains, while in North Carolina. Virginia and Alabama the same rates are not enforced for the same lines.
 As a result of the conference it is hoped to agree on some definite plan whereby legislation may be enacted that will harmonize these differences and set tie the confusion and litigation that now exists.

OKLAHOMA WILL
 SOON BE A STATE
Proclamation Will Be Issued on
 November 16
CONSTITUTION IS ACCEPTED
The President Announces To Governor Frantz That He Will Sign the Con- stitution Even If He Does
 Not Approve of 1t All.

Washington, October 2s.-President Roosevelt will issue the proclamation ad- hitting the new state of Oklahoma on Saturday, November 16 next. The consti- tuition was formally placed in his hands by Governor Frantz and d large delega- tion from Oklahoma at Il o'clock this morning.
 The issuance of the proclamation Satur- day, November 16, will immediately start the machinery of Oklahoma as a state.
 The function of presenting a certified copy of the constitution was carried out in conformity with the terms of the en- abling act. which provides that the copy shall be presented by the governor of the territory of Oklahoma and the federal judge senior in service in the Indian Ter rltory. Governor Frantz of Oklahoma and Judge Claxton of Indian Territory constitute the official committee of pre- sentation.
 Governor Frantz stated, as he laid the constitution before the President that he formally presented a certified copy of the constitution of Oklahoma to- gether with a statement of the election returns.
 In response, the President indicated his expectation to sign the constitution, but added that this approval was not to be taken as an indorsement on his part of all the provisions of that document. A mum Der of protests, he said, had been received and examined by himself and the attor- ney general, but were regarded as not sufficient to alter what he believed his duty to sign. One or two protests have just arrived, and he indicated that these would receive careful attention. In is- suing the proclamation, the President said he would wish to fill the positions in the new state.
 Governor Frantz requested that the peo- pie of the state be given 10 or 15 days notice before the proclamation should is- sue. This, after some discussion, deter mined the President to fix the date at once, and November 16 was decided on.

MOBILE APPROVES
 NEW CANAL PLANS
Will Send Delegation to Blr-
 mingham Convention
RESOLUTIONS SENT HERE
Set Forth That Movement Is of Great est Importance to the Entire State and Should Have the Co.,
 operation of Everyone.

The Birmingham canal or Tennessee-to- the-gulf convention, to be held here soon, is being looked forward to very en- Enthusiastically by the rivers and harbors committee of Mobile This organization has been q very effective one and has been very successful in securing improve ments for Mobiles harbor. At recent meeting of the committee the convention was indorsed and a number of delegates appointed to attend it.
 The following letter, dated october 2i from G. Grosvenor Dave. secretary of the committee, tells of the enthusiasm prevailing in Mobile:
 MT. J. B. Babb, Secretary Commercial
 Club, Birmingham:
 Dear Sir-By unanimous vote of this committee the enclosed resolution was passed today. The feeling among the members is that the work of the rivers and harbors committee at Washington is gradually rising out of the realm of petty or party politics into the higher realm of constructive statesmanship; and that Tn such spiri must the various waterways conventions of the country be conducted in order to have full weight
 A comprehensive plan of waterway de- velopment for this state and contiguous states would be favored heartily and en- thusastically in Mobile, not from any selfish reasons, but because only thus can the state and the Tennessee river realize the full benefits which belong to them through our 40 years of successful campaigning for the channel in Mobile bay. Success would mean a saving of 150o miles for water-borne Tennessee prod fc in impulse to the mineral output of Alabama and southern Tennessee.
 The sentiment of this committee, as shown during the discussion, was that southern Tennessee, eastern Mississippi, western Georgia and all of Alabama should be invited but of course we should not presume to dictate your course, nor what use should be made of the new en- thusiasm and it's possible effect upon the rivers and harbors congress to meet Tn Washington December 4 to next. Very respectfully,
 JOINT RIVERS ANDf fTARBoR COM
 MrrTEE OF MOBILE.
 Per G. Grosvenor Dave, Secretary.
 Whereas, There is q movement on foot 10 call a state convention at Birmingham during the month of November for com- prehensive plan for the improvement of Alabama's waterways; and
 Whereas, This movement is of great im- portance to the entire state, and partiou- larly Mobile, this committee should lend it's earnest efforts to bring about snc- cessful convention; therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the rivers and harbors committee of Mobile indorse the move ment and urge upon it's members to at tend said convention, and further that thorized to appoint committee from the citizens of Mobile to attend the conven- tion.
 Moved by Harry T. Hartwel; seconded by w. r. Tebbets. Unanimously adopted.
 G. GROSvENoR DAVE. Secretary.

TEST CASE GOES TO
 SUPREME COURT
RAILROAD CONVENTIONS OF MIN- NESOTA ARE CARRIED TO HIGH TRIBUNAL AND WILL BE PRICE. DENT FOR SOUTH.

Washington, October 2S..-The supreme court of the United States today granted the petition of Edward T. Young. attor- ney general of Minnesota, for writ bringing the contempt proceedings against MT. Young, in connection with the en- forcement of the railroad rate law of that state. to that court for review, and enlarged the scope of the order so as to permit his admission to bail. He is now under sentence by Judge I.ochren, of the federal court, on the charge of obstruct- ing a proceeding in the Minnesota state courts in the face of prohibition by the federal court. The action of the supreme court will bring the entire subject be- fore that court. The important question of the respective Jurisdictions of the state and federal courts in cases in which the state railroad legislation is involved. which has arisin in many states, notably in North Carolina, will necessarily be considered fin this suit and may prove to be a test case along new lines.

No credence Put In Story.

Washington, October 2s.-The bureau or insular affairs at the war department places no credence in the story of Bull gueria, the Spaniard, who alleges he was held a prisoner by F1lipinos in Bulacan province. San Juan del Monte. which Bulgueria refers to, is not an island but a mountain city on the border of Manila. From the time Manila was taken by American troops San Juan del Monte has been within the American defenses. It Is declared to be impossible that 400 pris- oners, the number Bulgueria asserts were held by Filipinos, could have been kept in custody unknown to American forces
