 MT. King created surprise by offering a resolution to adjourn the present ses- sion on the ground that there is not suf- f1cient reason shown for holding it. It related that the session has a bad effect upon business and is costly to every in- terest.
 MT. Reynolds moved to table the reso- lution.
 Mir. Thomas demanded vote.
 MT. King said his people are opposed to the session and that like feeling exists upon the part of nine-tenths of the citizens of the state. He realized that laws were needed and some should be re-enacted but there is not demand sufficient to justify the call. For his part, as a sen ator, he was ashamed to be here at this time. He expressed the opinion that pol tiles had much to do with the call made at this time.
 Senator Jones supported the motion, saying the state needs rest and that everywhere people tell him the session is uncalled for, He had no interest in the race of Governor Conner for the United States Senate and no objection to his finding way to run if he can, though he would not vote for him. But IOl every BOOu reason there ShOulu DE no session at this time, with the fear of business depression and the cost thereof upon treasury which all now know is facing a deficit.
 Mir. McWhorter interrupted to ask If the senator from Wilcox did not favor bien- nial sessions at the last assembly. and did he not agree that the governor had Q right to call such special session.
 Mir. Reynolds asked if it were not neees- sary to have this session to make laws to enforce the laws of the last sessions.
 On motion of MT. Reynolds to table the resolution for adjournment the vote stood 19 to 10, those voting no being Barbour. Blackmon, Doster, Jones. Teasley, King, White, Thomas, Overton, Moody. Vim berly and Leith were out; Forester and Spragins have not yet reached the city.
 Mir Teasey presented resolution to require of the governor q statement Of the expenditure of the money approprlat- ed for the railroad litigation at the last session.
 A motion by MT. Reid to table was lost by q vote of 22 to 2.
 MT. McWhorter had the resolution read.
 MT. Miller explained that while in favor of having all the information, he did not like the wording of the resolution.
 MT. Teasley drew the resolution to meet the objections of MT. Miller and 1t was adopted.

 And whereas, 1t is important to the farmers and business men of Alabama that no agitation from any source be now advocated that will in any manner tend to disturb the money market in this state, for the reason that any agita- tion which tends to disturb conditions will inevitably prevent the easy obtaining of the necessary currency to move and handle the present crops;
 And whereas, the legislature in session, with an unsettled public opinion as to
 its probable enactments, is regarded by many as a constant menace to business conditions throughout the state;
 And whereas, it is apparent that if such agitation is carried on, 1t will cost the people of Alabama millions of dollars in the price of their products which under present conditions will necessarily be low;
 And whereas, the present legislature has already held three sessions, and has dur ing said three sessions expended and au- thorized the expenditure of approximat telS 5000 for legislative expenses, in ad- dition to enormous appropriations made for other purposes;
 And whereas, If the legislature contr- ues In session it will necessarily do so at an expense of over 5000 per day. and will still further embarrass the condition of the treasury;
 And whereas, the Confederate veterans appear not to have received the full amount of pensions to which they were entitled. and the money which will be expended on this legislative session could be applied to the relief of the Confeder- ate veterans;
 Therefore, be 1t resolved by the senate, the house concurring, that in the interest of business stability, as well as in the interest of economy, the legislature when 1t adjourns this evening shall stand ad- journed to January 15 1910

Ressemer Meeta Woodward.

The Bessemer baseball team will play Woodward Saturday at Woodward and the local boys are looking forward to a hard struggle to win. The team has been greatly strengthened since Joe Crittenden assumed the management and have de- feated some of the strongest teams in the league. The Woodward team Is play ing inside ball and pulling off such plays as the squeeze" and the hit and run. Another feature that makes Woodward formidable is the fact that out of the nine men playing seven are left-handed bat ters. It will be remembered that on last Saturday Woodward defeated the Y. M. c. A. team which beat Bessemer to ?. On the Saturday before that they won from Grasselli and they hope to win from the local team Saturday. Grasselli plays the Y. M. c. A. on Saturday at Grasselli and should they win and Bessemer lose they would again assume the leadership of the league, which was lost to Besse- mer last Saturday.
 The local team has been practicing dili- gently for the past few days and express confidence in themselves Fancher will do the twirling for Bessemer and prob ably Askew for Woodward

 resentatlve Griggs, speaking for his asso-
 ciates, suggested that if the republicans
 would consent to put cotton bagglng on
 the free list they would show the ut
 most celerity In bringing the conference
 report to a vote Many of the conferees
 were disposed to grant this request, but
 Representative Mccall of Massachusetts
 protested vigorously, on the ground that Tit would injure the manufactures in his
 state, which turn out cotton bagging. So
 emphatic were his objections that it was
 seen the agreement would be delayed if
 such action were taken.
 Rurrying With Final Word. The republican members continued in

 Der. There followed a busy scene. Sour rying to and from the chambers were
 senators and members of the House vieing with representatives of special interests
 to get "a final word" with the con- ferees.
 Late in the day Representatives Ford ney and Calderhead went to the White House and from there to the rooms of Speaker Cannon and then back to the ferred with a number of northwestern senators interested in the lumber ques- tion Soon after Speaker Cannon en- tered the conference room. Speaker Cannon has been one of the chief supporters of the House rates on gloves. Former Representative Littauer of New York, the largest manufacturer 1 of gloves in this country, Is warm friend of the speaker. He has urged for a number of years that the rate on wom- ens and children's gloves be raised. When the speaker concluded his visit | to the conference chamber a waiting correspondent asked him if the conferees had finished.
 Cannon Is Testy. T am not a member of the con- ference committee, how do I know?" responded the speaker. He wore the unmistakable air, however, of man who had capitulated before a superior force.
 There was no opportunity to com promise on gloves. The President said the rates must not be advanced be- yond the figures named by the Sem ate bill, which are the same as the existing rates except for the fact that
 schmaschen gloves were reduced by

THE WEEK AT RHEIMS.

Perhaps the most remarkable feature Of the
series of contests at Rheims which came TO a
close on Sunday is that they were practically
the first real aeronautic races the world has
yet witnessed. There have been almost In
Vulnerable drifting matches, in which ordinary
balloons participated, but those were in no
sense races. Almost equally noteworthy, how
ever, is the fact that with few exceptions, the
airships which competed belonged to tSpe
that was almost unknown two or three years
ago. Indeed, if what were meant to be pri-
waite trials-by the Wrights, Langley Santos
Dumont and others-are excluded from con-
sideration. it may be asserted that public ex-
hibitions of heavier-than-airm machines date back
only about eighteen months.
Yet, in spite of the novelty of the aeroplane,
scores of aeronauts have learned TO handle it
with skill. Thirty eight machines We're entered
for the contests in France, and nothing ap-
preaching a serious accident occurred during
the eight days devoted to their trials. The
facility with which they were manipulated GER
tainly indicates a great advance in the art or
aviation. In one contest the competitors were
called upon 10 carry two persons besides the
pilot, and the feat was easily performed. No
evidence, however, has yet been supplied that
the aeroplanes will ever be a serious factor in
commercial transportation. \ question which
has not been satisfactorily answered at Rheims
is whether or not the biplane is superior 10 the
monoplane. Bleriot who carried of the honors
in the one-lap race, making a single tour OF
course 60 miles long. used a monoplane. Far
man, the winner OF the endurance contest, and
Curtiss who won the international cup had
biplanes.
The greatest speed developed at Rheims was
about forty-eight miles an hour. In this respect
Bleriot and Curtiss were practically on a par.
Still. the velocity with which an airship can
be propelled depends much on the power of
the motor that new records may reasonably be
expected within the next few months

WHAT WINE AND WHIsKEY ARE.

1t is an interesting coincidence that two prob
lens closely akin should have been authorita-
lively answered at almost precisely the same
time after long and patient investigation, the
one in America, the other in Great Britain. The
chemists of our Agricultural Department have
been struggling with the question, What is
wine? while for several years royal commits
sion in Great Britain has been similarly seek
ing an answer TO the question, What is whis-
key?-which, indeed, has also been before vari-
Gus high authorities here, but is not yet we be-
lieve definitively settled. On the whole, the in
quest In Great Britain has commanded more
attention than that In the United States. Hun
dreds Of times the display heading What Is
Whiskey:" has appeared over long articles in
the London newspapers, and the subject has
We'd with German Dreadnoughts and Zeppelins
in vital popular interest Now the questions are
answered in both countries in a manner which
viii doubtless meet the approval of most
thoughtful people, though the supplementary
query may be raised by some persons why, in
stead of conducting so long and tedious an in
vestigation, they did not look into the dction-
airy.
For really the answers given by our Depart
ment Of Agriculture and by the British royal
commission are practically identical with the
definitions given by the dictionary. Wine is
the product OF the alcoholic fermentation of grape
juice. OF course there may be other kinds of
wine, made from currants, or gooseberres or
elderberries, or what not. But these are in
variably 10 be called by the names of the
fruits from which they are prepared. Not one
of them is properly 10 be called simply wine.
Similarly the designation OF the liquor should
reveal and describe any ingredients which 1t
may contain besides fermented grape juice, and,
We assume, such water, sugar or yeast as may
be necessary TO induce due fermentation or TO
make the resulting liquor potable Wines which
are fortified with spirits or are eolored or
Favored with drugs are not to pass as the un-
adulterated Juice Of the grape. That is SEN
sible, sanitary and just decision.
In Great Britain the question, What is whis-
key: was raised in the controversy between
the old-fashoned pot still and the more efficient
modern patent still. The champions of the for
mer declared that the product of the latter was
poisonous and was not entitled to be known as
whlskey. AT least without some qualifying
phrase. There was apparently no question con-
corning the material from which the liquor was
TO be derived. IL must be grain drink dis
titled from potatoes not whiskey. but no.
tato whiskey, just made from curranis
is not Wine, but currant wine. The sole question
concerned the method OF manufacture. In the
end the royal commission declared that either
method was perfectly permissible and that the

The establishment Of what is undisguisedv n

of this city will mark the opening Of a new era
IN our educational system, the possibilities Of

here as in some other countries. and il is a
highly commendable thing The novelty is the
