SENATOR E. T. 8TEED.
He will be a candidate for state
school commissioner.
State Senator E. T. Steed, of the
Thirty-seventh district, will In all proba
bility bo a candidate for state school
commissioner at -the next primary.
While he has not yet made an official
announcement. It Is safe to predict that
Senator Steed will enter the race. -
He Is In Atlanta Saturday and when
questioned he admitted he was thinking
seriously of the proposition, and that
pressure had been brought to bear upon
him by many friends In all sections of
the state to be a candidate.
“It Is true,” ha said, "that I am se
riously considering entering the race
and It la probable I will ba a candi
date."
It Is known that pledges of Support
from all over the state have been made
to Senator Steed, and showing, made
to him which Incline him to the belief
that he can win.
Than Senator Steed few members of
the general assembly took a more prom
inent part In the recent session. He
actively supported and fought for all
the reform measures and was particu

Vancouver, B. C., Sept. 14.—Every
trades union In British Columbia has
pledged Itself to prevent the entrance
Into Canada of any more yellow labor
ers. The suggestion has even been
made that a htige strike all over Can
ada be called If necessary, to show that
thla Is not a local but a national affair.
Vancouver delegates going to the
Trades Congress at Winnipeg next
week have received direct Instructions
to ask the council to ask the Dominion
government to nullify that portion of
the treaty which allows colored races
to enter Canada on the same footing as
White mep and Instead to substitute
rigid exclusion. ——-—
As the Dominion government made
no provision for 900 Hindoos who land
ed from tho steamer Mont Eagle here,
they hod to return to the steamer for
the night.
Will Cut Immigration.
The official solution of the Oriental
problem, announced In this city today,
promises a sensible-restriction of Jap
anese. Chinese and Hindu Immigration.
Arrangements arc being made at Otta
wa for a conference on Monday be
tween Premier Laurler and Baron Iahll,
tho special envoy, of the Japanese for
October 11.53 or
$7.25 Bale Less Than
Ten Days Ago.

elgn office.'
Till
Jha conference Is for the purpose of
perfecting arrangements for the limi
tation of Japanese Immigration to Brit
ish Columbia. The mayor Immediately
telegraphed a demand for the use of the
dominion drill hall to shelter the 800
homeless Hindus who are roaming the
streets and.besieging the city authori
ties for aome place of shelter. They
fear they will contract pneumonia
sleeping out of doon these cold, nights.
The Chinese again evidenced their
hatred of the white race laat night
when they caught James McGregor and
almoftt neat and stabbed him to death
Although a crowd of whites gathered,
they did not retaliate. McGregor was
rescued from the Chlneso by a woman.
The whit* waiters and cooks have
notified employer* that all Chinamen
and Japanese employed In hotels and
restaurants must be discharged or they
will quit work In a body.
Outbreak Is Feared.
Police precaution* have been redou?
bled ln order to prevent any outbreak
tonight, when several meetings of pro
test against Oriental Immigration are
scheduled. In event of a clash (he po
lice will have difficulty In preserving
order, for the Orientals are fully armed.
There Is absolutely no foundation for
the charges that American labor agita
tors were responsible for the recent
outbreaks here against the foreigners.
While It Is true that several labor lead
ers from the American const states
were In Vancouver when the outbreak
started, they were In no wise Impli
cated.
On the other hand, tfiey did all In
their power to restrain the mob after It
had started on Its work. A. A. Fowler,
secretary of the Anti-Japanese and Ko-'
rean Immigration League, was In town
that night, but when the riot began
he was busy at the moat meeting In the
city hall. Other labor leader* also
were there.
"ROOSEVELT FAIR AT FIR8T,
BUT LATER HE CHANGED."
Toklo, Sept. 14.—Count Okuna, writ
ing In tho Hochl Shlmbun, contrasts
the anti-Japanese feeling at Vancouver
and San Francisco as follows:
"The Vancouver riots must not be
placed In the tame category as the San
Francisco trouble*. The San Francisco
authorities directly or Indirectly coun
tenanced riots, while the municipal
government waa a center of corruption,
almost a state of anarchy prevailing.
President Roosevelt's attitude at first
waa fair, but after he conferred with a
delegation of 8«.n Franciscans his atti
tude waa sadly changed.
"The Vancouver Incident was differ
ent. It was an outrageous act, limited
to laborers and unsupported elsewhere.
The local authorities did everything
possible to protect our cltlxena. Tho
sincerity so fully evidenced of these
really worthy local authorities make*
us confident of effecting a satisfactory
solution of tho situation."

Said That South Atlantic
States Are Eager Sellers,
But Valley Is Staunch.
New Orleans, La, Sept. 14.—Tha
market developed unexpected weakness
today, values suffering a loss of about
47 points when compared with yester
day's closing level, and at the low level
of tha day, 11.88 for October, were 146
points lower, or about 17.26 per bale
cheaper than prices ruling about ten
days pgo.
It has been noticed during the past
two weeks that while the different cot
ton associations In the South were ad
vising planters to hold for 16 cents,
farmers In the South Atlantic states
and In Alabama have been eager sell'
ers, and have been underselling the
Mississippi volley by about a half cent,
and were offering at a cent or more
Jaetow-quotatlona In Texas. As a matter
of fact. Savannah quoted middling yes
terday at 12 3-8. Mobile at 12 1-8, while
New Orleans quoted the same grade at
IS cents and Galveston at 13 1-2 cents.
It was this that caused uneasiness
among spot holders In the valley and
In the southwest and made hedging
almost Imperative on part of Texas
spot holders.
Last year Texas raised about 4,220,'
000 bales of cotton. This year It Is
said that the state will do well to make
3,200,000.
In so far aa the crop outlook Is con
cerned, factors have no reason to
change their views In regard to the
probability of much higher pricks ul
timately. Meanwhile opinions appear
to be valueless since the majority of
the Southern states have seen fit,
through unwise legislation, to. throw
the control of the market over to New
York and Liverpool, the operators In
the farmer market having been ag
gressive sellers today, particularly
when It was seen that there was ab
sorptive power here. Then with tell
ing effect, stop orders were dislodged,
which tellfc the story.

Indianapolis, Ind., Bept. 14.—Vic*
President Fairbanks today gave the
United Press the first Interview since
he has been In the limelight as a presi
dential possibility. <
Outlining his views, he declared that
his recent speech-making had no po
litical significance. Ho said he be
lieved It to be his public duty to go
among the people and keen In touch
with t them. He has been struck with
the- prosperity which he round every
where. •. ' -
"My Idea," he ‘continued, "Is that
prosperity Is the' paramount Issue.
There Is always enougn qard times to
go around. ' The highest Interests of
the American people are common In
terests. We must go up or down to
gether.”
He declared that an era of moral
awakening exists among the people,
demnndtng that existing wrongs be
Corrected. He added that new'laws
were wanted and must be passed. He
raid no one can blame the president
for executing the laws. Altogether, he
thinks the outlook Is most hopeful.
It Is not given to a city to win a
baseball'championship every year.
It has not besn given to Atlanta to
win one In some twenty-one years, nnd
there are towns which have never won
one.
The capturing of the Southern
League pennant and tha tltlo of cham
pions of 1908 waa finally accomplished
by tho Atlanta players Friday after
noon. when, they doVned the Little
Rock team by an overwhelming score.
And when this news and tho fact that
Memphis had lost was sent Into the
streets ln the baseball extra* there was
rejoicing of a kind that comes only
once In many years.
This pennant-winning madness Is a
mystery to those uninitiated In the
mysteries of baseball.
But there are not many such ln At
lanta. On big days ten thousand peo
ple turn out to aee baseball games, and
that number probably does not repre
sent a half of those In tho city who are
decidedly Interested 1n the national
game.
Congratulations and handshakes
bam been tne order alnm tin- b ad tho
Atlanta club adqulred became so large
that It assured tho championship for
i tha local club.
Tho arms of Billy Smith and his
playors have been all but shaken off.
find the frlefuls nf the tonin have spread
themselves to give tho players a great
cclchr.ttlnn of tlm victory.
Now that tho season Is over—for It
ends' with Saturday's game—the town
can settle back to business, which has
txwn sadly Interrupted since the base
ball excitement rose to a high pitch.
During the early part of tlfo week—
while the Memphis team was playing
at Ponce DeLeon—business was practi
cally suspended.
“I don't care a hang about baseball,”
a man on the Ponce DeLeon car con
fided to the sporting editor, "but I have
to go. Everybody elsu has gone and I
can’t do any business. So I am going
out to see what thcy'ro all so crazy
about."
Tho mayor expressed tho feelings of
the Atlanta fans when ho said Satur
day morning: "Well, I guesa It Is a
good thing It Is over. I have been too
worried and too anxious and excited to
tond to business. # I kept forgetting
things and didn’t half feel like myself."
The baseball madness begins to sub
side with great rapidity about Monday
night. In the afternoon of that day
the benefit field day and game Is pulled
off at Ponce DeLeon and a day or two
afterwards the team leaves on a barn
storming trip which ends In Richmond,
where tha team disbands.
