LORD ROBERTS SAYS ENGLAND
 |S IN DANGER
Sensational Address In the
 House of Lords, With Par
 tiCuIar Reference to What Germany Could Do. ,.

LONDON. Nov. 25.-Speaking in the house of lords last niglt. Field | Marshall Lord Roberts expressed the conviction that lack of military force
 ufficient to make hopeless an at tempt at invasion would in all prob ability be cause for the loss of Great Britain's supremacy at sea. In studied speech ne pointed out the comparative ease with which Germany could land an army on the shores of England. Under present conditions England would be forced, he said, to submit to the most humiliat ng demands.
 Lord Roberts sclaimed all hostll- ity to CT fear of Germany, but declar- ed that. the defense of the islands re quired imme diate attention. There should be an army so strong in nun bers and efficient in quality that the most formidable of foreign nat ons would hes tate about making land ing in England. He had ascerta.ned that vessels capable of accommodat- ing 200 men always were available in the northern ports of Germany, and as resul. Ct the new German service law. 200, 900 men could be collected in districts of the nearest port without trouble. Great German steamship lines were in constant practice em- barking and disembarking, and as the railroads were owned by the state, all preliminaries to the actual dispatch of troops could be carried on with the ut most secrecy.
 Germany was perfectly aware, the field marshall went On, that it would be essential for her transports to eyade the British fleet, and she could easily distract sttent on by small raids, the disepbaIking proceeding uad ,sturbed.
 i Tt would be folly" declared Lord 1 Roberts. to shut our eyes to these possibilities. however much we de sired Startling events in the near
 east brought home to the most care i les observer that nothing could save | the country not prepared to protect l itself If Great B.ita continues to
 neglect the mcst ordinary precautions she may some day find herself in the | hands Cf an invader. This da nger Is daily becoming more threatening Within a decade Germany has created the greatest sea power that ever eX- isted except Great Bhitain, and at the present moment 1t S formidable"
 Lord Roberts speech caused a sen sation in the house The Earl of Crew remarked upon the seriousness of such
 a statement in the present high strung
 condition of Europe, saying he feared 1t would be regretted.
 Lord Roberts resolution to the ef'
 feet that the defense of the islands lneceSsftafed the immediate attention
 of the government to make the arny
 so strong and efficient that the nosI
 form dable nation will hesitate before
 making an attempt at landing was | adopted by a vote of "A to 8.

 To O. F. & w. R. NJ.
 The Lockout Copper Company,
 ByO. Longacre, Jr,
 General Manager.
 Contrary to the general custom in the conduct of criminal cases, the de fense did not demur to the indictment when the case was called. After the jury was impanslled, however, brisk legal battle was waged by both sides until the court anonunced a recess un- til this morning.
 The first important objection raiseL was when the defense attempted lU prove that O. Dongacre, Jr., was gen eral manager of the Lookout Copper company, at the me of the allegeL forgery. Attorney Ross objected tU this on the ground that the indictment did not .allege that Longacre was zen eral manager of the company on the date of the alleged forgery. This cb jection was Overruled by the court and the prosecution allowed to prove Long acre general manager of the company at the time.
 Further in the proceedings the de fense objected to the prosecution be ing allowed to prove that the letter E. under the name of O. Longacre, Jr on the alleged forged instrument was the signature of E. E. Edwards. This objection was also overruled by the court.
 Several objections were raised by the defense aga nst the prosecution iu- troducing the alleged forged instru- ment as evidence. A two hour recess was had to allow attorneys to iu- troduce authorities.
 Similar cases from several courts O. the different states and the UniteL States court were cited by both sides
 One of the principal objections oI the defense was that the alleged forg ed check was not a check, although the indictment alleged it to be a check. Tn was overruled, the cour, intimating that it made no differenc, what the instrument was called since t was copied in the indictment. The oOurt suggested that it would be de. ermined later what the instrument was and whether such an instrument hOuld be classed as forgery. k E. Edwards testified that t3e sig nature to the instrument looked lik Bran't Handwriting and John LindeIl testified to csshing it for the defend ant.

NEW IRISH LAND BILL.

LONDON. Nov. 25.-Another Irish land biT to facilitate carrying out the rrevious land purchase act was introduced in the house of commons by Chief Secretary Birrell today. He said he found the estimate of s50O,- 100000 made by one of his predeces- sors, George Wyndham, as the amount necessary to satisfy the land hunger If tenants wholly inadequate, as s900.- o0O, 900 would be requ red. John B. Redmond, Nationalist leader, followed BirreH and said the bill was a bold and farrsaching measure. The re- form it stood for, he declared, was largely in accordance with the popu-
 ar sentiment in Ireland.

a niece of Mrs. e. B. Stinson, whom
she has frequently visited. Mr.. and

TWO STEAMBOATS,
In LOCAL TRADE
NJ. j. E. STEWART AND CAPT. s.
A. COSPER ARE BOTH TO
HAVE BOATS ON TOM
BIGBEE THIS FALL.
City Council VIII Build Bridge and
Open Up Street To Landing,
Thus Facilitating Hand
ling of River Freight.

There will be two steamboats, in
the local trade during the coming
season. Mr.. j. E. Stewart will have
the New Haven and Mr.. S. A Cosper
will also have a boat, both steamers
running between Columbus and vi
emma, with occasional trips TO Dem
opolis, Ala.
The city council has ordered a ce-
ment bridge to be built over the ditch
running along South Fourth street
the Mobile & Ohio railroad cross that
thoroughfare, and this will open up
new thoroughfare to the steam boat
landing. Instead of being compelled
TO go around by the plant of the Ref
uge Cotton Oil Company and thence
down steep hill 10 the wharf, wag-
ons can go down South Fourth street
and by crossing the new bridge Sc
cure mparatively level driveway TO
the wharf. This will make it much
facilitate the handling of cotton and
other river freight.
Both Mr.. Stewart and Capt CospeF
are ready to start their boats as soon
Is there is sufficient water in the
river, and with two steamers plying
the Tombigbee river local merchants
should be able to do a profitable bus
mess with the people living along
the stream between this city and vi
emma. Both Mr.. Stewart and Capt
Cosper are exceedingly popular with
these people, and will be enabled TO
control a vast amount of trade Mer-
chants engaged in various lines of
business realize the value of the river
trade, and are putting forth every
legitimate effort to secure it These
business men were instrumental IN
inducing the city council to open up
the new street leading to the steam
boat landing, and it is not unlikely
that wharf may be built in the near
future

health was very bad, but in June he
went to Atlantic City, and the trip
proved very beneficial having almost
completely restored his health From
Atlantic City he went TO Lynchburg,
Va, to visit his granddaughter, Mrs.
Archibald White, and after spending
few weeks there returned to Co
lumbus. He is living quietly at his
home on South Third avenue, where
he enjoys every comfort of home
life. He is strong enough to take a
walk every pretty day, and seems to
be gaining in strength It is the
sincere wish of every Colum bian that
his Improvement will continue and
that he will remain an honored citi-
zen of the city for many years.

promptly took over in payment of their indebtedness to him.
 He did not become conspicuous figure, however. until he had cornered the ice market. The first important development of the ice trust idea was made manifest in 1897, when the Con- solidated Ice company was formed. This master stroke put an end to most of the small and struggling concerns and also put . great fortune in the pockets of Charles W. Morse. Two years later the American Ice company was born. and its head gained the title of ice king, The price of ice doubled in week. Competitors were handled with no mercy and soon ceased to ex- ist in appreciable numbers.
 It was at this time that MT. Morse became actively interested in politics. not national or even state, but plain municipal politics. He became a mem Der of Tammany Hall and soon yielded a mighty influence in the inner ooun- ciis of that organization, Some of the leading city officials became interested in his business projects. and a great scandal resulted, Charges of corrup- ttCu were tIldQG Ou every udHu, dtiu whether true or not 1t was cold day for Tammany when 1t went into the ice business, It's members who held promi- nent municipal offices were killed po- litically. but Morse made millions from the operation.
 This brilliant financial coup would have satisfied some men, but it was merely fresh stimulus to the expan- sive energies of the ice king. He reached out eagerly for new field to conquer, and he began his campaign by acquiring leading influence in all the New York banks that could be controlled by man of his business power and capital. Almost before any one realized it he blossomed forth as a formidable competitor Of Morgan. Rockefeller and Morton. The possibili- ties of the combination of two lines of activity was uppermost in his mind. and as soon as the proper moment ar- rived he proceeded to direct all his energies to that end. One was the consolidation of the Atlantic coastwise lines and the other was the control of a long string of banks.
 I. was in the effort to accomplish all this that Charles W. Morse, amazing manipulator that he was, overreached himself. GEORGE H. PICARD.
