POLITICAL AND OTHER
 GOSSIP AT THE CAPITOL
BY HERVEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, August 1.-(Special.) )-Not. withstanding that the fight for congress sional honors in the Second district open ed at China. Grove this week and several of the minor matters were pulled off, it has been a dull seven days in the public life of the Capitol City. Governor Conner has spent this week as he did last in the strike territory, and very little has been done with the business that usually flows out through the office of the chief executive. It was expected that one or two very important reports made by state examiners would be given out this week, and that possibly some other mat ters of considerable importance would be discussed. However, everything has gone over until after the settlement of the difficulties in the Birmingham dis trict.
 Rate Increase Question.
 The fact that former Chief Justice S. D. Weakley and Railroad Commissioner w. D. Nesbitt were attendants upon the hearing of the rate arguments at Mt. Airy, Ga, this week indicates that the state authorities are going to take active measures to prevent the additional charges going into effect so far as this territory is concerned. MT. Nesbitt was in Chicago and attended a meeting there, the object of which was to prevent the increase, and went over to MT. Airy for the purpose of seeing what arguments the railroad people would make in sup port of their position. If something is not done before, a move will no doubt be made at the regular monthly meeting of the railroad commission on Monday next. H. s. Kealofer, manager of the Montgomery Freight Bureau, was also at the hearing before Judge Speer. and while this organization will not take an active hand in fighting the rates, it is expected to land largely in the way of evidence and support.
 Talk of Carmichael.
 A member of the state capitol family who has been in North Alabama this week gives it as his impression that Speaker A. H. Carmichael will enter the race for governor. MT. Carmichael has been regarded as a probability in the contest all along, but nothing has been heard from him with regard to his offer ing since the adjournment of the legisla- ture last tall, dnu i1ldny Hdu Coiiie lo believe that possibly he had given up the idea of going into the fight. MT. Car michatel is an ardent prohibitionist and was the author of several prohibition measures during the last sessions. He is the son of Judge J. M. Carmichael. twice auditor of the state and for a great many years on the circuit court bench in the territory embracing his home town of Ozark.

Among those who are report ed to have already signed for the Boston race are Jimmy Moran. TyaG Lawson. Fred Hill, w. F. Mitten
 Patsey Logan and Charlie Stein. If the latter rides in this race it will be the first event he has entered since he turned professional last September.
 Jimmy Moran and Floyd McFar- l land wore the. smile that won't some off when they came out of Pat PoWerss treasury after receiving their 1,500 prize money in addition TO their guarantee. .e Rutt and Stol expressed themselves as satisfied With their share of the distribution There was considerable talk aboc t StGl heinz confined to hs bed wifh paraly&ls of the legs. but the at0cl.v Hollander denied that he was sufie..- ing with such an ailment. ., He de Cared that the inactivity of his legs after the long grind caused the Muscles of his limbs to 3ecome swollen. The swelling was asoom- panied with cramps Stol said that all the riders suffer from the same ailment after a long ride, but his was all unusually severe attack. Rntt and Stol, along with the other for eign riders. expect to sail for Flu rope next Thursday.
 Most of the riders said they were going west to take part in the four six day ten hours a day races which are to be held during the next few months in Kansas City, Denver, Min neapolis and St Louis.

WRESTLING
Four Nations Are Represented in the Coming Tournament in
 Concordia Hall.

There has never been q wrestling tournament in this city where the contestants represented so many diff ferent countries, as in the coming match in Concordia hall on Thurs day evening. In the preliminary there will be John Welt of this city, representing Germany and Louis Montagnu of Torrington, represent ing Italy. In the main contest there will be Alex Swanson of Waterbury. representing Sweden and Cyclone" Morin of Fall River, representing France. And both matches will be | rip snorters from start to finish. In that preliminary alone the spectators will get full return for their money Welt is training over in the Brook lyn Athletic club every night with Alex Swanson. He is as strong as a young bull and is fast learning all the tricks of the game from the willy Swanson. Montagnu is also the possessor of much strength and it will be a battle of two well trained athletes and each dead sore on the other, because of the unsatisfactory ending of their match over in New Britain. The main contest between Alex Swanson and the cyclonic Frenchman from Fall River will be rough house from the start Morin stands head and shoulders over swanson in height, but that is all. He has sent word down from his training camp that he will defeat swanson just as sure as day. The tickets for the match are now on sale at r. Cavanaugh's barber shop, 423 East Main street, Maurice McCarthy's 43S South Main and John Hurley's Scovill street.
 Another match that is creating much talk is the one to be held I'D m Waterville on Friday evening of tnls week. There will be more mon ey bet on this contest than on any that has ever been held around these parts. Harry Shackley is a clever youth, standing 135 pounds when well trained and he is always m that condition. He is one of the cleanest limbed athletes that has ever been seen on mat and is a minia- ture reproduction of Frank Gotch. He has been tried out on several oc- casions and has the makings of a good wrestler. So confident are his friends that now he has been backed dgalnst an unknown, who must weigh In at 115 pounds. Some people believe that Chic" Lawson of Nan, gatuck Is the unknown but as yet it mas not been made public, who it Is. Whoever he may be he will find that in Shackley he has a pretty rugged youth to topple over. s1O0 has already been placed in the stake holders hands as a side bet but it is pelleved more than $1,OOO will be cast on the result
