ADJUSTMENTS.
Free Vaudeville.

Commencing this afternoon and to- night the management of East Lake park will inaugurate series of free vaude- vile entertainments and concerts at the lake which will be one of the best en- terprises of the kind ever offered in Bir- mingham The vaudeville and concerts vii be in the open air and there will be plenty of seats for everyone It will take place on a large stage built in front of the bandstand at the park, and around this several hundred seats have been placed, both free and reserved. The con- certs will consist of the best music by a large orchestra and several artists who have been engaged.
 The vaudeville performance will run every afternoon at 5:30 o'clock and every night from S:15 to 1915 o'clock giving a series of good acts. For the first week Johnny Jones, an eccentric comedian and juggler, has been engaged. Not only is he considered a first-class juggler but his comedy is said to be excellent, mak- ing the act doubly attractive. The other will be Susie Goodwin, a dainty singing comedienne, one of the best artists in her line in vaudeville. These two acts, with the concerts, will make a perform ance of about one hour, which is con- sidered long enough for a summer amuse- ment park.
 The afternoon performances were put at 530 o'clock in the cool of the aft ernoon. There are 25 other amusements running at East Lake all the time and there is every inducement for picnics and small parties at the lake. East Lake is better equipped for amusing the public than any other summer park in Ala bama and the people are appreciating this fact in growing numbers.

Local Troops Relieved.

By 12 o'clock last night all of the ar tillery and cavalry troops on strike duty had been relieved by men from the First and Second infantry regiments, who ar rived from Chickamauga late Friday night, where they were encamped with the regulars for about ten days.
 The new troops relieving the artillery and cavalry number nearly twice as many as the ones they relieved. The First reg iment numbers about 730 men, while two companies from the Second regiment swell the number close to 900. The number of troops that have been on duty was un- der 800.
 The officers in command are Colonel DuMont and Lieutenant Colonel Hub bard of the First Regiment, Lieutenant mand at present. Colonel DuMont arrived from Chickamauga Friday night and is a guest of Governor Conner. He has not been well for the past two or three days, and will return to his home in Mobile today. It is probable that he will return to Birmingham within a few days.
 Major Noble, who has been In com mand during the past ten days, having relieved Colonel McKleroy of the Third infantry when this regiment was re- lieved of strike duty and sent to Chick amauga,, has been instructed to report to Lieutenant Colonel Hubbard, and will be retained here.

Sixteen men have been arrested and charged with the crime. Four of them are white and twelve are negroes, all being striking miners.

Busy Day at Headquarters.

Headquarters were established In the Metropolitan hotel by Lieutenant Colonel Hubbard, several rooms being reserved on the fourth floor All day and until late last night the headquarters was about the busiest place in Birmingham, a great amount of work being connected with the disposition of the troops.
 The officers in command have received explicit instructions not to give out any information in regard to the movements of the troops Men will be stationed, however, at the same places In which the other troops were eneamped, while at least one additional camp will be estab- lished.
 The new troops are especially fitted for the duty to which they are assigned, prac- tically every officer and large percen- tage of the men having been on duty in the Birmingham district during the strike of 1894. Colonel DuMont at that time was captain of the Mobile Rifles, Lieutenant Colonel Hubbard, who halls from Troy, was lieutenant of a Troy company; Maj. John D. Hagan was captain of the Gulf City Guards, Maj. William J. Walden was captain of Uniontown company; Capt. John s. Callahan of Company M was sergeant of this company; Lieutenant and Battalion Adjutant Leon Schwarz was sergeant major of the Second regiment, and Lieutenant and Battalion Adjutant William E. Mickle. Jr., was a corporal in the Mobile Cadets.
 The two Second regiment companies on duty are Companies F and B, under com- mand of Major Long, They were sta toned at the city hall armory with Con- panies and L of the First regiment under command of Major Walden.
 The First Regiment band, whichswent to Chickamauga, and which arrived in Bir- mingham Friday night, went to Mobile yesterday. With them went a number of men who were incapacitated for strike duty on account of illness.
 Start for Home.
 Artillery and cavalry troops from Mont gomery and Selma began leaving for home yesterday, while all of them will have left the district by tonight Two Birmingham companies were on duty-Troop and Battery D. The troop was stationed at Johns and the battery at Linn's crossing. These men were relieved last night, brought to Birmingham and mustered out.

North Dakota Congressman Tells the
Voters What He Stands for in
National Legislation.

To the People of The State of North
Dakota:
Having decided again to become a
candidate for nomination and election
as a representative In congress from
North Dakota, I deem it proper to
issue a statement expressing my pres
ent convictions in regard to the ques-
tlons OF national import now confront
ing the people of the United States.
AS a republican and asking for the
SURFACES Of republican voters, I SUBJ
scribe to the cardinal principle Of pro-
lection to American industries. be-
1eVe, however, hat the time has come
to subject the schedules of the pres
ent tariff to a close scrutiny in order
thai duties which give undue prefer
ence or which are ineffective may be
mango to meet present conditions.
believe that notably in the case of
0 coal, lumber, and wood pull the
tariff should be removed, except such
cou~nterVallIng duties as may be nee
essarE 10 offset export duties levied
ny other countries on the raw ma
terial.
believe that no backward step
should be taken in the enforcement
OF what have come to be known as the
Roosevelt policies" in order that the
public may be protected from arbi-
trary exercises Of the power resulting
from the enormous aggregations OF
corporate wealth made possible NV
our institutions.
l pelleVe that all public service cor
poratlons should be subjected to gov
I'M control, and that for the pur-
pose Or taxation and regulation a
physical valuation should be made Of
al corporate property. To be effec-
i've, control must extend to the can't
Cal OF corporations. Capitalization
or franchises and Of MONOPOLY rights
should not. be permitted.
l believe that in the not remote fu-
lure a law should be enacted reuuir-
ing corporations engaged in Interstate
business to incorporate under nation
al laws. The Sherman Antitrust
Law, should be SO changed as not ia
prohibit combinations not against the
public interest.
FAVOR the speedy enactment of
laws providing for a graduated in
come tax and a graduated inheritance

I favor a law compelling publicity

leve that the time to prepare for war

The soldiers, 20 whose valor is due

are entitled to liberal treatment, and
in this matter false notions in econ

fere.
Liberal appropriations should be
made for the improvement of our
navigable rivers in order to facilitate
the carrying Of our s%tupendous inter-
nal commerce.
irrigation and drainage should re-
ceive such federal encouragement as
it is possible under the constitution to
give, wherever the magnitude of the
project is such that local and state
efforts are insufficient.
The encouragement of forestry and
other projects for the conservation of

I favor the retention by the public
of all deposits of mineral wealth not

consistent with rational economy, of
public buildings throughout the lane

l would have no man compromise
