BANKING INTERESTS SHOW
 NEW FAITH IN BIRMINGHAM

The banking interests of the country are evidencing faith in Birmingham since the commissioners assumed charge, and are positively eager to secure the citys paper. This was noticeable yester- day when offers were made from three different sources to accept the citys note for $300,000 at 5 per cent for 90 days with which to pay the obligation of the city to Henry B. Gray.
 The combined banking interests of Bir ningham made the city an offer to float the loan right here at home for per cent which is 1 per cent lower than the former rate and this was done. In addi- ton Otto Marx & Go. were eager to get the loan at that rate. MT. Gray said the offers were very good and he would advise their acceptance. He said, how

ever, his clients would not enter into the transaction without other conditions.
 MT. Marx says that Birmingham is held in the highest confidence by ehe bank ing interests of the country now that the new administration is in charge. He said there would not be encountered the slightest difficulty in getting all the money desired by the city for any pur- pose as bankers would accept on any transaction.
 By reason of the extreme difficulty ex- perienced heretofore in getting money, necessitating trips to New York to make arrangements, the new condition is very reassuring to the commissioners The opinion is held that the information that Birmingham can have all the money de- sired will be of much value to the com mercial interests.

MORROW PRESIDES
 LAST TIME TODAY
President of Senate Says the Pend ing Mine Bill Will Be
 Passed

Senator Hugh Morrow of Birmingham, president of the senate, was in Birmlng- ham yesterday while the legislature Is adjourned. He will leave this morning for Montgomery, where he will preside when the general assembly comes to an end. He said yesterday there would be a session tonight lasting until late hour, but that the work would be completed and the session would pass into history today.
 Senator Morrow said that the new mine laws for Alabama which have been op- posed from the beginning of the session until this time, would pass.
 There has been an agreement made be- tween the opposing parties" said Senator Morrow. '"The result is the bill will pass. l personally think the laws are as pro- gressive as anyone could wish, and have favored them all the session. There have been few changes, and Alabama will be cloaked with laws as good as any state when the measure passes.''
 Senator Morrow said there were many other matters of importance to be attend ed to, and that they would be acted upon. He said the ending of the session came as great relief to most of the law makers who have labored hard to ac- complish something for Alabama.

As an indication that the most lowly will receive justice and quick attention from the commissioners of Birmingham, two decrepit and forlorn negro women yesterday rescued their children from the chains of the city convicts by appealing to the commissioners. By the quick solu- ton of the petition of the negro women new form of punishment was inaug l. rated which may effect permanent cure for some evils now existing.
 The women told the commissioners that their children, aged and 10 years, re- spectively, had been arrested In Wood lawn and sentenced to serve 1S0 days and pay fine of s2oO for petty larceny. They have been in prison 10 days. The aver age day lowers a fine 50 cents, so the negroes would have been held 2S0 days for small offense.
 The story of the negroes appealed to the commissioners quickly and Commis- sioner Lane delivered himself in this way

A small footpath dropped down to
the dry bed of the canyon, which they
crossed before they began the climb.
The slope was steep and covered with
matted brush and bushes, through
which the horses slipped and Iunged.
Showers OF twigs and leaves fell upon
them, and predicapent followed pre-
dicament, until they emerged on the
hilltop the worse for wear but happy
and excited. Here no trees obstruct-
ed the view. The particular hill on
which they were, out-jutted from the
regular line of the range, so that the
sweep of their vision extended over
three-quarters of the circle. Below, on
the fiat land bordering the bay, lay
Oakland, and across the bay was San
Francisco. Between the two cities
they could see the white ferry boats
on the water. Around to their right
was Berkeley, and to their left the
scattered villages between Oakland
and San Leandro. Directly in the fore
ground was Piedmont, with its desul-
tory dwellings and patches of farming
land, and from Piedmont the land
rolled down in successive waves upon
Oakland.
