 dent Inqulres About
 ' Various Men. {
SURE TO BE REPUBLICAN

Emmet O'Neal of Florence is at the Morris hotel, having arrived last night from Washington with the latest news of conditions there. MT. OsNeal is the man who introduced the resolutions against Judge Hundley at tire meeting of the North Alabama Bar in Birmingham.
 When questioned he said: :s"while l was in Washington on private. law business, I met nearly all of our representatives and a large number of people who are interested in the federal judgeship for the Northern district. From all I could learn Judge Hundley is not considered in the race any more, and it is only a question of what republican will be ap- pointed.
 T was told by several of the repre- sentatives that they have not mentioned any democrat to the President, and do not think that any of the democrats of the district has a chance for the appoint ment.
 Senator Bankhead made 1t plain to me that he did not consider Judge Hundley a factor any longer He told me that he and Senator Johnston have an ap- pointment with the President for next Wednesday and no action Is expected be- fore that time.
 q gathered from conversation that dur ing the past week President Taft has been querying his visitors about certain republicans in the district. notably Shel- by Pleasants, O. D. Street and W. H. Smith. I was told that he had spoken of Judge WalleE of Huntsville and J. B. Dryer of Birmingham.
 -"It is probable that the matter will come to head soon after the interview with the senators. Julius Davidson is there and very active in favor of MT. Smith,"
 Asked whether the interests of the Br- mingham district will be guarded in the tariff measure, MT. O'Neal said: 'I think so I heard MT. Underwood speak the other day before crowded gallery. He was interrupted often and was able to reply to his questioners pointedly evok- ing much applause. He seemed perfectly supplied with information and had it at the tip of his tongue"
 MT. O'Neal will be In the city two days, engaged in the courts.

FIND BIRMINGHAM
 REMARKABLE CITY Philadelphia and Baltimore Men Spend Day Here SHOWN AROUND THE CITY One Man Wants to Take Terminal Station Back to Baltimore-Others
 Discuss Things That Im-
 press Them.
SHOWN AROUND THE CITY

Few more enthusiastic investigators
 ever passed through the Birming gham
 district than the party of Baltimore fnanciers and brokers who spent yes
 terday in an inspection of the mines
 and plants around the city, and left last night for Mobile.
 They are in the state Investigating g the properties and franchises of the Tidewater company, having passed one day in Tuscaloosa and after visiting
 Mobile they will go to Montgomery and
 Selma.
 James H. Morris and P. S. Briggs of Philadelphia are also with the party, and are the only ones who are present holders of the Tidewater bonds. MT. Morris said: 'I am wonderfully sur prised by your wonderful Birmingham.
 This will really be the Pittsburg of the south. The magnitude of the develop
 ment already completed is astonishing, and I believe there are few places where the future looks so bright" MT. Briggs said: "I have this party in charge, and you can say for every one of us that we are simply delighted with everything we have seen. None of the party had ever been in Bir- mingham before, and the district has certainly made some valuable friends. They are all deeply interested in the Tidewater proposition, but further than that can say nothing"
 Howard R. Taylor, the Baltimore stockbroker who has interested these capitalists. said; "We have brought these men down here to show them just what the Tidewater proposition Is, and the territory through which the line will run. Of course, the line is
 going to be built very soon. l do not
 think there will be any trouble about
 selling the bonds"
 George c. Hildt said: "At Tuscaloosa
 I was delighted with the insane asylum
 through which I was shown by Dr.
 Searcy. It is one of the most com
 plete and most efficiently managed have ever seen, and Is something Of
 which your state should be proud. l
 can not express my surprise and pleas
 ure in finding Birmingham such great
 city. You are evidently at the very
 beginning of your development"
 Said w. C. Nimmo one of the most
 prominent in the party: T wish we
 could take your terminal station back
 to Baltimore with us. That is the most beautiful station I have seen outside
 of Washington. It is an artistic mon ument of which the largest city in the country might be proud However, Bir- mingham seems just as big and line.
 We are all enthusiastic about Birming-
 ham, and will be glad to tell our friends
 in Baltimore of our impressions"

PEACE FOLLOWS
 CLOUDS OF WAR Balkan Troubles Are In Good
 Way for Settlement
ISW0LSKY IS IN DISGRACE
Russia Receives News of Settlement With Rage and Shame-Govern- ment Had Recognized An
 nexation of Territory.

St. Petersburg. March 2S-The solution of the Balkan crisis has been received here with rage and shame by the press and public, which blame Foreign Min [ ister Iswolsky for the surrender of slav interests without considering the circum- stances which have dictated the Russian 1 policy.
 ! Papers of all shades of opinion pub fish leading editorials assailing M. Is- wolsky in the most virulent fashion and the general indignation has reached such pitch that the position of the present foreign minister Is seriously shaken. It is thought in diplomatic circles that it may be necessary to sacrifice NJ. Iswolsky to stay the storm.
 Resentment in pan-Slavic circles may take the form of a social boycott, which few high society ladies are openly ad- vocating
 In government and higher army cir ces, however no illusions are entertained with regard to the hard necessities which have forced Russia to a humble role during the crisis. It is believed that M. lswolsky was as successful as could be expected in view of the promises of his predecessors, by which his hands were bound and the unpreparedness of Rus sla both from military and a financial viewpoint, for the struggle which a more positive policy would have entailed
 NJ, Kokovsoff, although the leader of the opposition faction of the cabinet, was the strongest supporter of M. Iswolsky at the meeting of the ministers at which the recognition of annexation was de- cided on.
 Another big loan is mentioned as a possibility as soon as it can be made op- portunely. Large sums are needed for the rearming of the infantry. the rifles now in use being anticipated.

Belgrade, March 2S.-Crown Prince Georges renunciation of his right of sue cession to the throne was read at the national assembly today. together with the letter from King Peter, accepting the renunciation and declaring Prince Alex ander, his second son, heir to the throne.

 After yesterdays cabinet meeting at which the King accepted the crown princes renunciation and the cabinet ap- proved, Prince George went straight to Prince Alexander. The meeting of the brothers was affectionate, Prince George wishing his younger brother better luck than he had had.
 The Servian newspapers acknowledge that Servia has failed in her contentious against the action of Austria Hungary and accuse M. Iswolsky, the Russian for eign minister, of treachery. They de- clare that the action of I--ssia in ac- knowledging the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria is not only a misfortune for Servia, but everlast- ing disgrace for Russia. The British and French minister will hold a more for nal conference tomorrow, and 1t is prob- able that a settlement of the contro- versy will be reached.
