There has developed something anenl

throws the entire tentative arrange.
nent OF Thursday up tinsthe cir. 20 tina;
things will probably await the arrtva
of Governor Conner from the wilds oil
Florida. before becoming nLally set
tied 81
1t all grows out OF the fact that Coy
ernor Conner holds the purse strings e
the fund. from which the. expenses OF
the Impeachment are to be paid For
when the code Of 1907 Was drafted
there was no provision made for the
expenses Of Impeachment proceedings
before the Supreme Court
But the proceedings are authorised
by the Constitution. ana SO It was de-
veloped that the expenses OF the hear
ing must come from the contingent
fund of Governor Conner. which. In 1
penses for which definite provision "a
not made. and which is subject 10 the
Governors draft.
It would be easy sailing. even then.
but there Is stf1l o differences as to
whether the testimony win be taken in
Mobile through commissioners, and
conveyed to the Supreme Court on dep
osltions or whether II will be heard
directly before the Supreme Court In
Montgomery.
II is probable that Governor Conner
is TO consider which course the continz
geLt fund can best provide for, wheth-
er the taking OF evidence in Mobile, or
the conveying of the witnesses to
Montgomery will be the most expen-
sive.
So there is still great probability
that the trial VIII run its course In
Montgomery. However that Is. It 4 is
practically assured that no action will
be taken before the return of, the Gov
ernor, as to naming the Commissioner,
II there Is one to be nam&d, or as to
designating the place for the taking OF
evidence
When the most expeditions course is
determined, then the venue OF the pro-
ceedings will be. named. But because
of the failure Of the code TO arrange for
the impeachment expenses, there Is an
atmosphere of uncertainty about the
matter as yet
The entire proposition Of the i'm
parchment OF an executive officer be-
fore the Supreme Court, Is one new to
the State OF Alabama, hence the un-
certainty. Before the constitution of
1901, all matters OF impeachment de-
voived upon the Circuit Courts But

the biggest day of the year there, ac-

though there are some people who
are prepared to bet that the day of the

good reason for believing that Septem-

WEDDING OF KING
AND PRINCESS TO
Be HELD IN JUNE
REPORTS IN MADRID CONFIRM
RUM0RS
Manuel of Portugal and Beautiful
Daughter of the Duke of Edin-
burgh Arrange for
Nuptiais

MADRID, Feb. t9.-Despite the half
denials and evasive statements of
King Manuel of Portugal, it has been
given out semi officially that the king
visit last week to King Alfonso was for
no other purpose than to arrange for
the Portugal mOnarCh's wedding to the
beautiful Princess Beatrice.
Advices received in this city from
Lisbon are to the effect that the king
and princess will be married early IN
June of this year.
In court circles of Madrid this report
is denied, but the report that the
king is to wed the princess is not re-
futed in Lisbon except in an evasive
way.
The princess herself is exceptionally
happy these days and making much of
a new steed which has been presented
her by an uncle. She is the daughter
of the duke of Edinburgh. Since Man
uel came to the throne on the death Of
his father and brother there have been
many rumors of his engagement to
various princesses. The last report was
that he was to wed the daughter of
the duke Of Connaught. Beatrice is the
youngest daughter of the late duke Of
Edinburgh, who was also duke Of Sake
Victoria. His wife was the Grand
Duchess Marie of Russia. The duke
died in 1900. Princess Beatrice was
born in 1884, and her full name is Be-
atrice LeOpoldine Victoria.

REPORT MAC VEAGH
SURE OF PORTFOLIO
Millionaire Merchant Now Declared
Certain of Important Position.
Friends Work strenuousIy
for His Success

CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-F'ranklin Mac
Veagh, according to every recognized
political oracle in Chicago and Wash
ington, is slated by President-elect
Taft for one of the most important
portfolios in his cabinet.
While this report has been published
before, it was given merely as a rumor,
but combinations received today from
the national capital make it compara-
lively certain the nomination will be
forthcoming within a week.
Mr.. Mae Veagh, who is one of Chi
cagO's best known milliOnaires, "a
brother of Wayne Mac Veagh and the
head of a large wholesale mercantile
establishment in Chicago, has been
prominent in civil movements for many
years. He is a native of Pennsylvania
and was graduated from Yale in 1862.
He was a candidate for the United
States senate as a, Democrat before the
Illinois legislature in 1874 but was de-
feated.
His nomination will cause much re-
joicing in Chicago, where he is well
known and has many friends, and al
though practically assured Of his sue
cess, political organizations here are
pulling every wire to make certain
of It.
