A STRONG PROTEST
CHATTANOOGA AGAINST STATE.
 WIDE PROHIBITION.
The City Council in Special Joint Ses- sion Adopts Resolution Profest- ing Earnestly Against Pass.
 age of Prohibition Laws.

Chattanooga, Tenn. Jan. ~s.-The City Council in special joint session tonight adopted a strong protest against the Legislature of the state interfering with this city's right to local self government in the matter of State wide prohibition. There was not dissenting vote. !.
 The. resolutions adopted conclude as follows:
 We most earnestly protest aeaInst legislation which can only be preaI. cated' upon the knowledge of men who do not know the/conditions which exist In this community, and against leRis. lation which takes from the people of this community the right to decide this for themselves.
 We protest against Legislation which will destroy without compensa- : tion several millions of property, that will put hundreds of men out of en1- ployment. that will seriously disturb and tn1ure our business conditions and will produce dangerous disturbances in local conditions and will substitute the speak easy and the blind tiger for the regulated saloon. l
 We believe that such destructive legislation will not only not contrIb- ute to the moral well being of the com munity but will work a contrary re- suit. producing great hnancialaloss and work and a great detriment 10 this eity's welfare.
 "We therefore most earnestly re- quest the representatives of this coun- ty in the Legislatcre to present this to the joint assembly at Nashville and to ask in our name that our right to local self government be preserved :"

Twenty-five Millions of Government Deposits Must Be Paid In On Or Before Tenth of Feb
 rUnmFv

Washington. D. C., Jan. 9.-The Sec retary of the Treasury today announce ed call on the national bank depos- itories for approximately s25 .OOO, 900 of government deposits. s15.OOO. 900 to be paid on or before January 23. 1909, and the remainder to be paid on or before February 10. 1909
 This call on national banks for the return to the Treasury of s25, 1000, 900 Is not made necessary by any urgent need of cash. the balance on hand and available for all purposes being fully $29. 100000 with the revenues showing slight increases over one year ago.
 The Secretary's desire to provide ample funds for needs at the begin ming of the administration about four weeks hence, Is believed to be the only purpose in making a call at this time The banks are said to be in condition to spare the cash without any embar- rassment. and it is believed that most of them are quite willing to surrender quite a large share of the govern ment's holding.

has found himself embarrassed to no small degree by the loss of a number of documents bearing upon the case. but tells his friends that regardless of the disappearance of these papers. he will be able to make showing which will satisfy them that he had no wrong intention in connection with the Oregon lands. He has talked freely with visitors regarding the line of his defense. but has requested the newspaper men to refrain from quoting him because of his desire not to put his case piecemeal. His speech will be about 1000 words in length. and will be delivered from manuscript. Mir. Tiilman Is e rapid talker, and 1t Is not believed that he win consume more than an hour of the Senate's time.

A POLITICAL MIDDLE
CLOUDS OF UNCERTAINTY HANG OVER ILLINOIS LEGIsLATURE.
That Speaker shurtiiR May Succeed Senator Hopkins Was the Gossip Around the Legislative
 Halls Yesterday.

Springfield, H., Jan. 9.--No appreci- able brightening of the clouds of un- certainty which hang over the dead lock in the Legislature, was obsery- able today in Springfield, and at night, the political prospects were still at sea on the outcome Of unprecedented condi- tions.
 The position of the Governors friends that they are anxious for recount but that review of the ballots must be safeguarded against any possibility of unfair methods, was repeated.
 Gossip in the state House largely hinged through the day on the Sena- torial situation and the chances of Speaker Shurtiliff becoming the suc- ressor of Senator Hopkins, were fra 'quently mentioned. Many IegtsIators and politicai wise-lieaas, a8s6Eted that at the present junctute Speaker Shuft- Tiff was 8. more general favorite than the junior Senator of Illinois to succeed to the toga. Others suggested that the feeling engendered by the speakarship fight and it's many ramifications, to- gether with the bitterness stirred up by the deadlock, had precluded the pos sibility of sufficient number of leg islators uniting with the Speaker to wrest the senatorship from its present holder.

Storm of Protest in Richmond. SITE NOT FAVORABLE
 TO VETERAN SOLDIERS Several Southern Cities Mentioned
 as Place. Confederates Oppose Location seIeetea For 1t in The Virginia Capital Await Action of the
 Trustees.

Richmond Va. Jan 9.--(SpeciaI.) - Storms or protest have been made against accepting the site. offered by the Confederate Memorial Literary So- ciety yesterday upon which to build the Battle Abbey.
 The site offered by the Society in- medlately adjoins the White House of the Confectionery which is now almost left alone in It's magnificence. the locality In which it is having dettrio- rated since the Confederacy was in its heyday and the home of the presi- dent was surrounded with mansions almost as pretentious as Itself.
 So loud and long have been these protests and so firm are many ex- Confederates against the iocations that several have gone so far aa to say that rather than have the monument built at this point they would gladly see 1t go to Atlanta, New Orleans. Mont- gomery, Charleston or any othes south ern city.
 This sentiment Is growing rapidly alth hough 1t is believed that the trustees of Battle Abbey have tacitIy agreed to accept this site. The opposition is so great. that, if this indeed has been decided upon, 1t is probable that a meeting will be called to reconsider.
 The trustees say that no site has been agreed upon; that the literary society simply made an offer of the site mentioned. Still the fact remains that few Condfederates will agree to see the most famous of all Confederate monuments buried In a locality now occupied by medical colleges. hospitals. and other buildings certainly not in keeping with the proposed structure, and in addition with the city jafi but two or three blocks away.
 The truth of the matter Is that the neighborhood is destined to become less and less worthy the monumaast and with this in view the cry against this site is becoming greater and greater.
 Amy Southern city in place of this site" seems to be the general nina heFe among thqse Interested.
 feiehmond gave eS0l0Do toward f4sa Battle Abbey which wili De loat in the event it is moved to some other place but 1t Is believed that this amount wfli be gladly given by the fortunate city The question Is being seri usiy aRitated and the meeting of the trustees of the Battle Abbey wiIl be awaited with much Interest and speculation.

 Detectives.

Washington, Jan. 9--In the prepara- ton of his speech in reply to the Presi- dents charges, Senator Tiilman has failed to ind a number of papers bear ing upon the oregon land case. in con nection with which the present contro- versy arose.
 These papers were. he says, enclosed In a large envelope when he left Wash ington last March, on account of his Illness. but they cannot now be found
 The Senator does not charge that the papers have been abstracted by the government detectives who have been shadowing him. but he does say that Il would have been possible for any such official to gain access to his room and to his desk. both of which were fasten- ed with only ordinary locks.
 The papers, he says, are very import ant in the preparation of his case and would go far to substantiate his de- fense. He says that not only his desk but that every nook and cranny of his office has been searched for the docu- ments, but without avail.
 Notwithstanding the loss of this data Mfr. Tillman expresses confidence in his ability to make satisfactory reply to ths President.
