On the report of a Iunacy commits sion, that John MatIock, negro State convict sent up from Jefferson county for murder. is of unsound mind. Gov ernor Conner yesterday ordered him paroled into. the custody of the au- thorities of the Alabama State Asylum.
 John Matlock was convicted of mur der in the Jefferson county circuit court May 25. 1897. and was. sentenced to serve twenty five years in the pen itentiary. It was reported that ever since he began his service his conduct has been exemplary. But 1t is not on that account that he was given his pa- role yesterday.
 For a long time symptoms of lunacy have been manifesting themselves un- til, on recommendation of the prison authorities at Wetumpka, where Mat lock was confined, the Governor ap- pointed commission to look into his his case.
 The report of the commission was unanimouAs1h an affirmative finding. The commisions was made up of pr. W. A. Burns. pr. W. M Gamble and pr. W. o. Robbins.

BAD FIRE AT SAMSON
DISCOVERED IN EARLY MORNING
 AND DOES DAMAGE.
Loss to Stores WiH Run From $S,OOO to S5,OOO- Believed to Have Been
 IneendiaFy Origin.

Samson, March Especially Fire. originating in the one story frame building occupied by W. D. Peats butcher shop. broke out this morning and for some time threatened Samson with a widely destructive blaze.
 At 2:15 a. m. the saw mills began blowing fire whistles. but by the time the town was thoroughly aroused the flames had entered an adjoining wood en structure owned by J. M. Lee ana Son, general merchants. The two buildings were completely burned.
 Upon it's discovery, the flames had reached such headway that the nrst persons to reach the scene formed a bucket brigade and bv hard work saved the two story brick building oc- cupiAd by the First National Bank of Samson. On the corner. the large store and warerooms belonging to Hender- son and Mizelle. to the east. and the new brick stores of Farmer and Hawk and The Samson Supply Company, to the north.
 It is thought that the fire was Of in- cendiary origin as the buildings were the last of the frame structures on the north side of Main street. The others having been burned during the past twelve months.
 The burned stores were enclosed or three sides by fire-proof brick build ings. which prevented the spread oi the fire to the other sections of tho town.
 The loss is estimated at from ss.oOt ] to ss.ooo.

How the Republicans in Congress

 How the Republicans in Congress
 Roast Roosevelt.
 New York Evening Post.
 Senator Tillman has his uses, after all. A rude man, with shocking dis- regard of the proprieties. and utter scorn for the artificialities of Senate rial courtesy" he sometimes utters the blunt and wholesome truth. His at tack upon the President yesterday was being listened to with unconcealed de- light by many Republican Senators. But suddenly he turned upon them with the demand why they dared not say in public what they were all saying in private. Publicly. they displayed the most cowardly servility to the Presi- dent: in the cloak rooms, as in their clubs and hotels and private houses. they spoke of him with the utmost dislike. bordering on personal hatred manliness that they were afraid to ut ter a word of all this in open Senate? The challenge was met by Senator Beveridge alone. He had. If not the deny that the relations of President Roosevelt to the leading men of his party in Congress were what Tillman alleged. There was no trucking of ly affirmed the Indiana Senator, be- cause there were no differences be- tween them. Perfect harmony existed. The great minds at either end of Penn
 
 sentire de republica, so how could there be anything but hearty cooperation and the best of good feeling?
 If this was intended as a merry con ceit. there Is nothing to be said against 1t; but that, as serious statement, 1t is travesty of the actual truth, Is known of all men. All the Senators know it. No one Is more vividly aware of 1t than President Roosevelt himself. Senator Tillman merely drew away with his rough hand the curtain which politeness had kept hanging before the disagreeable facts. What these are, everybody who goes to Washington and keeps his eyes and ears open, is in no doubt The bitterest language 's Used on both sides. Republican Senators speak with an indignation almost com ic. so intense yet carefully confidential Is 1t, about the course and speeches and messages of the President. He, on his part. gives them the benefit of his un- bridled tongue. His epigrams about the most venerated of them. his ar raignment of them by name. his reck-

less attribution of sinister motives to them-ail thissis retailed about Wash ington as the common gossip of the day. There was an old story about a land to ask In a grieved tone If 1t were true that he had said a certain member of the Senate ought to be hung. Tie question to put to Presi- dent Roosevelt would be what mem bers of the Senate--or the Supreme Court--he would leave unhung.
 The amusing part of all this is the assumption of secrecy which has been ey-trumpeted publicity. Things are no longe~ done at Washington Tn corn er. What one Senator whispers in tthe oar of another. is instantly proclaimed from the housetops. And the Presi- dents impulsive and picturesque Tis- chreden, busybodies and go-betweens immediately report. When MrH Roose- welt declares with Iurid emphasis that a certain Senator is "the greatest en- amy of the American navy" and ought word of 1t is carried to that Senator before nightfall. The President knows that the Senators know what he says about them; they know that he knows what they say about him. All that has happened is that Tillman has kicked over the screen behind which both sides make a decent pretence of hiding.
 lTlS IS NSEy HfGly Way OA ing on a great government. No doubt. 1t gives the President a great deal of what he calls fun" The more his best friends express concern about his explosive habits of speech. the more he seems to enjoy indulging himself In fiinging. about the vitriol of his char acterizations. It Is evidently not his ambition to merit the epitaph: ''Who never said a foolish thing" Perhaps he expects everything to be pardoned his high animal spirits. As for get- ting Congress to do what he wants he doubtless thinks that. when the time comes. 1t win be merely necessary, like Samson. to shake himself as in other days and put the PhiHstines to flight He sees no reason in the fact that he has said savage things of them. why they should not be his humble and faithful servants. No great difficulty has yet faced him through which he could not club his way. and he clings to the favorite old method. Of course. his practice of making free with the character of public men has led to re-, prlsals They return his adjectives with interest. All Washington knows

He was about three hours making the arrest and then came near carrying scar from knife yielded by the woman. The blade was hung in the bosom Of his shirt and he was forced to use hand cuffs and deputize some of her neigh bors to assist him in bringing her to Dothan.
 Mrs Roland was safely lodged in the county jaii, where she remained until this morning. when she was carried before an officer and allowed hail which she made.

cL0UDINESS OF YESTERDAY
 Is PREDICTED TO CONTINUE

The cioudiness of yesterday which IS predicted to continue through to- day was due to the passing of the low barometer area which has for several days been moving across the country from the West. The continuance of the clouds today, however, will be due to the advance temperature of a high barometer area. following close- ly in the tract of the low area.
 There will be little if any rain fin the immediate vicinity of Montgomery, although rain is expected in the north ern districts. This rain will be due to the condensation of the moisture In the air by the cold air in advance of the high barometer area.
 This condensation is expected to take place very rapidly and the clouds will quickly give way to fair skies with somewhat colder weather. No frost is expected to attend the high area.
 The area Of low barometer central Wednesday over Kansas moved rap idly northeastward yesterday and was passing off the New England coast yesterday afternoon. In it's passage across the country 1t caused rain or snow over the Lake region and the Ohio valley.
 Following in the wake of this area of low Is high barometer area pre- ceded by decided temperature falls Nth the ceptre of the high over the upper Missouri valley. The fall in temperature was recorded as far south as Abilene. Texas, and the freezing line dipped as far south as Amarillo, Texas,
 As this body of dense cold air spreads eastward the advance effect of the cold change is expected to con- dense the moisture in the air over the northern and the central portion of Alabama, when slight rain may occur this morning. This will be quickly followed by fair and colder weather here.
