THE CONGRESSIONAL IAPPoRTIoNMENT.

APPORTlONMENT.
 According to the measure suomitt- ed to the census committee of the house of representatives the new ap- portionment of representation in the house as a result of the recent cen sus is to be 433 members, an in- crease of forty-two members over the present membership of the house. The basis of representation is to be 211.O00 inhabitants to each repre- sentative. Despite the fact that some people believe that the house of rep resentatives is already too unwieldly, the increase proposed is pretty cer- tain to prove acceptable, as it in wolves no reduction in the represen- tation of any state. while it pro vides an equitable increase for stat les that are already entitled to it owing to increased population
 There is really no reason why the membership of our house of repre- sentatives should be considered un- wieldly. As matter Of fact it is much smaller than the member ship of the popular houses of most European Pariiameuts. The Reich stag of Germany has 3s7 members and the French chamber of deputies has a membership of 5S4, while the British house of commons consists of s7o members. Considering cur large population. a membership Of 433 may be considered relatively small by comparison with the countries nam ed.
 The size of American constituent cies is as a rule very much larger than abroad Compared with the  constituency of a member of the German Reichstag our congressional district has nearly twice as many in- habitants. IL is more than twice the size of the average French constf tuency and four times the size of British parliamentary constituency. An American member of the house .of representatives represents nearly Ia quarter of a million people, while the French deputy represents only 100, 900 and a member of the British house of commons about 6o,OOO. Un. like our districts, European consti tuencies vary greatly in size owing to the fact that they are not reap portioned periodically as is the case with us. Thus in England some con situencies are very large and others are ridiculously small. Much the same state of things prevails in Germany.
 Despite the fact that the chamber of our house of representatives is by long odds the largest room in which any parliament sits, it is nev- ertheless already too small to accom- modate the members. This is not due to any lack of space, but to the custom heretofore prevailing Of pro yiding every member with desk and comfortable reclining chair. The chamber itself is actually SC large that proper debate is made impossible It has, therefore. been proposed to remodel the house so that the desks and chairs VII be eliminated and the members provided
 with seats or benches, as the invar. fable custom in all other houses of parliament. The new reapportion. ment is, therefore more a matter O. furniture than increased membership

HON. MARK SMITH.

HON. MARK SMil n.
 Alfred Henry Lewis, originator and editor of the mythical Arizona Kicker has the following article in the New American about Hon Mark Smith, of Arizona:
 .Fneaa a valued hand noTd reaches ne tASt the Hon. Mark Smith will be one of the new Senators from Arizona. These be cheering news. Whu-not Papsgo or sn Apache should better represent Arizona than one who has dweit within her sun burned borders thirty years?
 The Hon. Mark, camped as to age O, the sunrise side of sixty, was born in old Kentucky. Also the Ken tucKians are the Gascons of America. Bestdes ehat of the Hon. Mark, from Kentucky's muster of star manhood the esustry's story has taken many a name. It is from there, too. we best get the lesson of how nature ever preserves that equilibrium, want ing which order would slip into chaos, and the music of the spheres degenerate into a mere discordant tuning of the elemental instruments. If Kentucky hsrbors the rattlesnake, she likewise nourishes the curative distiIlery. and though she endowed us with a Jen Davis, she gave us also an Abraham Lincoln. Who has not met your true Kentuckian vigorous, deep-ehested, noisy, back shaping, as unrelenting in his friend. ships as in his feuds, He never runs and always fights, albeit one or two, when the dust of battle had blown by and the surgeon rested from his lsbors, have been known to say that they would just as soon have missed i
 Tan, straight as lance. broad oi shoulder, the Hon. Mark is no more the flop in appearance than were Jackson and Lincoln, in their home spun day. His clothes sit carelessly upon him. His face is calm. steady for he has permitted nothing to sean it with worry or knot it into scowls The features are strong. not too fine the forehead good, the eyes Morse the mouth wide and promising, th' nose a bit beskish and set somewha on what carpenters call a "skewgee.

Meetings Will Continue Every Night During the Present
 Week

''Verly, verify, l say unto you, he that believeth on Me, the works that l do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do' from John 14:12, was the subject of the Rev. J. M. Bass, pas tor of the Simpson M. E. church, yester- day afternoon. The services were in charge of the Rev Bass and Allie w. Stapeton, gospel singer. The great love of the Father and the Son were held before the congregation In all the splen- dor of it's intensity, and the church was made to feel the necessity of adopting unto itself a great measure of this vir- tue, and that only through this love as personifed in their lives and example, could the world be reached.
 The congregation was large and atten- tive, and was impressed by the power of the word preached. The solo work of Mir Stapleton was great, and his leader ship of the congregational singing was effective These meetings will continue every night this week with song service at 7:30 o'clock; other meetings to be an- nounced from time to time, The Simpson M. F. church is located on the corner of Seventh avenue and Twenty-first street. Everybody is welcome and cor oially invited to attend these services.

WILL CONFER TODAY
 ON FIVE CENT FARE
Entire City Commission Will Meet the Officers of the B.
 R., l.. & P. Co.

The conference between the city com missioners and officials of the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power company, in accordance with a resolution by Com missioner James Weatherly, will be held today. The most widely discussed ques- 5 cent car fare between Ensley and Pratt City to Birmingham. The commissioners as a body will represent the city and while the cent car fare will predomi- nate in the conferences, yet the propo- sition of electrical current reductions will become a part of the negotiations.
 The conference is the first that has \ been invited by the commissioners as whole, and the most sanguine hopes are entertained that ultimately the cent car fare will be secured without the com- missoners resortng to the courts for that concession.
 No inkllng has been given as to what offer will be made the company, if any, by the commissioners as basis of com promise However, there is no doubt in the minds of many citizens but that concessions will be made by both sides. Commissioner Weatherly has declined to discuss the conference, but gave the most positive assurance that no conferences had been heretofore held at which ten- tative plan of negotiations had been mapped out

FINE REPORT ON
 LOCAL BATTERY Is Well Equipped to Take
 the Field REGENT INSPECTION Lieutenant Walker Calls Attention to High Efficiency That Is Being Shown By the National
 Guard
REGENT INSPECTION

Capt. L. $. Dorrence of Battery D of the First field artillery. Alabama National Guard, has received from the war department at Washington a re- port by Eieut. J. r. Walker, U. S. A., who was detailed by the government to attend the camp of instruction held by the battery last July at Mobile as to it's strength and efficiency.
 The report is highly complimentary to Captain Dorrenoe and his entire command, special mention being made by Lieutenant Walker of the benefit Captain Dorrence and Lieutenant An rience on the Mexican border, where they were sent by the department last spring.
 Tn report is interesting as it shows the government supervision of the state troops and the high degree of efficiency now required for the na- tional guard under the provisions of the Dick bill, which makes them a part of the United States army.
 The general public, not having seen a complete battery of state field artil- lcry, cannot realize the power and de- struction it possesses as a fighting unit. Battery D of Birmingham Is equipped with the identical guns, material, har- ness and accoutrements of the regular army and could, on an order from the government, take the field in less than six hours from the time the order i3 received solid train is necessary to ,cpart

INTEREST IN THE
 SURVEY ARTICLES
Birmingham District Is to Get an Airing in the Various
 Magazines

The industrial leaders of the Birming- ham district who await with interest the appearance of stories as to this district said to be in course of preparation by magazines which seek to criticise, are of the opinion that The Survey article Will not be anything but fair to Birming- ham.
 That magazine is operated in Pittsburg epon donations made by charity for the sole purpose of improving the conditions of the country and helping the downtrod- den. In their dealings, it is said here, The Survey makes especial efforts to play fair. The local industrial men anticipate that many uncomplimentary references will be made to the Birmingham district in The Survey, but it is said to be more truthful than otherwise.
 The general impression here is that The Survey will donate an entire issue to the Birmingham district that magazine having sent four or five writers here. One of those to contribute will be M Knowles, the widely known engineer.
 The subjects to be discussed will include the convict lease system wherein it is re- ported the system rather than the em- rloyers of the convicts will be raIed oyer the coals. Another will be the Jefferson county fee system, which has involved the wrath of all newspapers here and the cit izens of the community generally. It will be explained, according to information here, that the remainder of the state not Jefferson county is, responsible for the re- tention of that system. The other sub jects will be of nature dealing with the industrial situation.

ENSLEY COMMITTEE
 WORKING FOR PARK
Understood, However, That General Situation Will Be Reported to
 Park Commission

committee of prominent Ensley cit- izens, composed of M. 1T. McDowell C. c. Burke, R. F. Chadwick, chairman; Dr. E. w. Averyet and James Dupuy, Is negotiating with Commissioner James Weatherly for a park at Ensley, which has been promised that section. They held a conference with MT. Weatherly Saturday and will hold another one per haps tomorrow upon the purchase. The city, 1t Is understood. will make good the promise made as to the Ensley park, but it is not expected that any action will be taken very soon. The matter will be referred to the park commission by MT. Weatherly. which body will take no action until the general park situation is looked over by a competent landscape artist and finally approved by that com mission.
 It Is said to be the opinion of the park commission that a park should be pur- chased wherever the landscape architect designates, and that line of procedure will no doubt be taken in the Ensley case. The two commissions having in charge the proposition are very much interested in getting a park for Ems ley,
