MAY GALL AN EXTRA
SESSION OF SENATE
Rumcrad That Such Is Pres
ident’s Intention.
| QVEMBER THE MONTH SET.
f jmors of More or Less Definite Na
ture Are Rife that Extra Session
May Be Called to Ratify Reciprocal
Treaty with Cuba.
Washington, Aug. 12.—Advices re
(,ivoii here indicate that President
Roosevelt will call the senate in ex
traordinary session early in Novem
ber. Ever since it became evident
that nothing would be accomplished as
to reciprocity with Cuba at the re
cent session of congress, rumors of
a more or less definite nature have
been in circulation that the presi
d( nt will call an extra session, either
of the entire congress to enact Cuban
reciprocity legislation or of the senate
to ratify, if possible, a reciprocal
treaty with Cuba.
During the past week it has been
stated that It was the purpose of Pres
Ment Roosevelt to call a special ses
aion of the senate early in September.
!i can bo stated by authority that he
has no such intention. His time and
that of many members of both politi
cal parties will be occupied during
September and October. • It is un
derstood to be the belief of the presi
dent that the session of the senate
held for the purpose of ratifying a
’ with Cuba be
much more likely to be fruitful of re
sults if held after the November elec
tions than if held before. It is as
rured that the question of the rein
Hons of the United States with Cuba
will enter largely into the approaching
ampaign and it is slated that the
president feels the democrats will he
loss likely to offer serious opposition
to a reciprocity treaty after the elec
tion than they would be before that
time.
A Irenty with Cuba practically has
hcon prepared. It requires only the
finishing touches and the signature
of Minister Quesada and Secretary of
State Hay to make it ready for pre
•.-ntntion to the senate. No definite
date, it is understood has been fixed
ip >. for the meeting of the session in
November, but that it will be soon af
tf ■ the election is reasonably certain.
Th< president., it is said, hopes to
Vivo the reciprocity question cleared
rwrp entirely before the regular ses
sion of congress.

Fire at Kissimmee.

were discovered issuing from the bag
gageroom of the Atlantic Coast Line

hose, It was impossible to save the
building. By heroic efforts the most
of the baggage and express and every
thing in the ticket office was saved.
Owing to the direction of the wind
no other property was endangered. Jt

tion or rats gnawing matches and
thus setting fire to a pile of old rec
ords which were, stored in this room.

most any kind of a fish story.

PRODUCTION OF IRON.
The Report of the Southern Iron
Committee.
Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 12. —The re
port of the Southern Iron Comanittee
composing the various railroads hand
ling the pig iron, steel and cast iron
pipe production, shows the production
in the southern territory for the year
ending June 30, 1902, to have been
of pig iron, steel billets and cast iron
pipe of which 162,380 tons were east
iron pipe and 1,680,956 tons were pig
iron and steel billets. The steel
billet shipments amounted to 56,330
tons. Of the big iron shipments,
1,172,179 tons went west and 504,831
tons went east, and of the pipe 120,848
tons went west and 38,478 tons east.
The export shipments for the year
were not great, showing 3.946 tons of
pig iron and 3,061 tons of cast iron
pipe.
The decrease in the export ship
ments is accounted for in the fact that
the domestic market is sufficient to
take up all the iron that can be manu
factured here and the export trade
now is almost exclusively of the manu
factured articles alone.
The Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron
company announces that their No. 3
furnace at North Birmingham will be
ready for the torch within the next
two weeks.

a sum taken in this way. He was
arrested at Horse Creek, to be taken

EOLT STRIKE9-CHURCH.
One Killed and Many Injured During
Services at DeSoto, Ga.
DeSoto, Ga., Aug. 12. —Richard Dod
son was killed and 40 others wero in
jured by a bolt of lightning which
struck the Baptist church at Leslie,
a small place near here during ser
vices.
The church was crowded with wor
shipers when the bolt descended, and
that a large number were not killed
outright is a miracle. .
The opening song had been ren
dered, prayers offered and the minis
ter had begun his sermon when a
thunderstorm came and cefore the dis
course was finished a ball of fire swept
through the church, striking Dodson
and killing him instantly, while 40
others were thrown to the floor by
the shock, but all will probably recov
er.
Many narrow escapes were recount
ed, especially in the case of a friend
of young Dodson, who wasvsitting by
him when the fiery messenger
called him to eternity, and escaped
with a very slight shock, which veri
fied the proverb that one should be
taken and the other left.
The building, which was badly dam
aged by the electric bolt, became ig
nited in two places, and for a time it
appeared that those who had escaped
the lightning would be cremated be
fore the flames could be extinguished,
but while the injured were being cared
for by a portion of the congregation,
the others were fighting the fire, which
was finally extinguished.
Young Dodson, the dead man, was
a cousin of Hon. W. A. Dodson, of
Americus, former president of the state
senate.
SLEDD WILL LEAVE EMuRY.
5 enders Resignation to President
James E. Dickey.
Atlanta, Aug. 9. —Professor Andrew
fiiedd, of Emory college, whose article
on the negro question in the July is
sue of The Atlantic Monthly Maga
zine brought forth so many harsh crit
icisms, yesterday morning tendered
his resignation as professor of Latin
to President James E. Dickey.
The resignation comes as a result
of the attacks that have been made
on Professor Sledd. In his letter to
President Dickey he states that he has
been misrepresented, but fearing that
his remaining on the faculty of Em
ory may cause the college embarrass
ment in consequence of the light in
which he has been placed, he feeis
it his duty to resign.
Professor Sledd leaves the time for
tne resignation to go into effect to the
discretion of the college authorities,
but suggests September 15. This is
done, it is understood, for the reason
that he is now at the head of the sum
mer school and is preparing many
boys to enter at the opening of the fall
term. If he were to leave at this
time they would be put to great incon
venience.

Brilliant Ceremonial at West
minster Abbey.
MAGNIFICENT STREET PAGEANT.
Though the Ctremony Was Bereft of
Some of the Elaboration Originally
Contemplated, It Lacked Little In
the Spectacular Portion.
London. Aug. 9. —King Edward and
Queen Alexandra were crowned in
Westminister abbey shortly afL-r noon
today. Though the ceremony was
bereft of.some of the elobaration and
pageantry originally contemplated, it
lacked little in the spectacular por

magnificently decorative character and
presented a constantly changing pano
rama around the two central figures
enthroned in their robes of velvet, er
mine and cloth of gold, amidst' the
distinguished assemblage of actors, the
fulfillment of whose various roles ne
cessitated constant movement. Each
stage of the ceremony, with its old
world usages, furnished its quota of
interest, while the interior of the no
ble church, filled with officiating pre
lates in vari-colored capes, with
princes and diplomats, officers and
other officer* of state in medieval cos
tumes, with peers and peeresses in
rich robes, with oriental potentates
in many-hued raiment, with men of
all types and all shades of complex
ion from distant points of the new
crowned monarch’s empire, with its
dazzling display of jewels and wealth
of color, presented a picture which, in
its combined brilliancy and distinction,
has seldom been excelled.
