Washington. Dec Special. )-- The talk of all Washington today was the proposition of the Southern Com merclal Congress to erect here mil lion-dellar building.
 The news of the movement was pub lished far and wide in the morning newspapers. People seemed to have nothing else on their minds, and II strikes men of prominence and expe- rience as a most feasible proposition. Moreover, from the way pledges are coming in. no doubt Is expressed that the enterprise will be carried to successful stage,
 Montgomery and a number of her best-known and most active citizens are certainly right in the limeitght, for it is admitted on all sides that but for the starting of the whole move ment in Alabama's Capital CNy. the Southern Commercial Congress would not have been held.
 As previously mentioned in dis patches to The Advertiser, the Con- gress was a success, even beyond the most sanguine expectations of its pro- motors. Next year 1t Is confidently expected the gathering will be very large one, and the sessions will be even more interesting than were those of the first gathering.
 Several of the leading spirits In the Congress express the belief that with ! in the next sixty days the ground for the building will be purchased. They are also reasonably confident that by the time the next Congress meets. the cornerstone of the proposed building will be laid. They rathe think that such an event win be gala one in Washington for the delegates, sAden of means who were heard to discuss the matter seem to be positive tA pr1 GAm-
 mercial Club will erect here, will pay from the very beginning. The un- derstanding is that 1t will be not less than twelve stories In height. If 1t should be fourteen, 1t would have to
 be located on Pennsyvania Avenue, for
 that Is the only Washington Street on which building regulations permit structure of such height to be To- cated.
 It is proposed that 6 number Of the | floors shall be used for an exhibit of the varied resources of the South, so l that investors coming to Washington | to study conditions can get all the h. formation desired.
 Those identified with this movement are specially anxious to have oficei of the newspaper correspondents To-
 cated in the building and the prooa' | biitties are they will succeed in at' | tFacting writers to take quarters
 therein.
 | All bills in connection with thu Southern Commercial Congress have | been paid and there was enough monel | available also to provide for the pub | lication of the proceedings of the con vention. The numerous interesting addresses will be published in full. | c, Grosyenor Dave. who deserves & much credit for the prominent part h' has taken in this work, left tonigh by the Southern Railway for Mont I gomery.

The Fluent Negro Was From
 Charleston and He Made Good

When will Robinson. a real dark hued negro, charged with disorderly conduct, began to speak in the Record CTS Court yesterday afternoon. the spectators opened their earss so far as such a proceeding was possible. There were among those gathered about many of the uneducated and they marvelled at the intonation of the negro's voice, the peculiar accentuation of his words. and above all his air of politely ag- grieved dignity.
 When 1t said that many of the spec tators were uneducated no imputation of supreme ignorance Is implied. To speak more accurately, 1t should have been stated that the number referred to had never been to Charleston, S. c.
 Robinson modulated his voice in a manner that defles reproduction in the district of commonplace cotton pick ing negroes. He addressed himself di- rectly to tho judge and curled his tongue around syllables as If he de- sired to touch the top and bottom and the all between of every letter.
 He had really done nothing except get hit by the fist of a drunken ne- gro. when standing on the corner of Court and Monroe Streets at about 12 o'clock Friday night. His manner In describing the condition of his assail- ant bespoke compassion for such weak ness of character as that displayed by him.
 How long have you been away from Charleston" asked Judge Baber. just when one of the audience fin the court room had decided that Robinson was a Russian. another that he was Hindoo.

CITIZENSHIP RESTORED.
to Atchison and Stacks. to ARtchfson and Stacks.

Their civil and political rights were restored yesterday to M. W. Atchison of Bibb County. and George Stacks of Walker County. by Governor Conner. who is convinced that the ex-convicts can be reasonably expected to live hereafter a correct life.

Citizens of his county think him worthy of exercising civil and political rights. Let his civil and political rights be restored"
 The words of the Governor in the case of Stacks are as follows: "The said George Stacks was convicted of grand larceny by the Circuit Court of Walker County and sentenced to Imprisonment for three years. He served his sent ence and obtained short time for good behavior. Since his release he has live ed correct life. therefore pardon him and restore his civil and political rights"
