Now Decatur, Ala.. Aug. 80.—Ropub-
lican lKilitlca In this county are aseunv
lng an Interesting phase, It bavins
been decided to put a full county tick,
et In the field and the chances are
that a heated and rigorous campaign
will be the result, though there 11
but little likelihood of the republic
ans capturing any of the county offi
ces at this time, aa they are too weak
In numbers without the aid of many
recruits which they hope to secura
from the ranks of the Democratic par
ty on account of the factional fight
which has Just come to a close In this
state between Jelke and Johnston.
Many of the supporters of ex-Qov-
ernor Johnston are quite sore ovot
the defeat of their choice for gover
nor and In Republican olreloa hers
it Is believed that many of these John
ston men will affiliate with the Repub
licans. since the negro la no longor
a factor In Alabama politics.
For this reason mainly. perhapB,
the leaders of the Republican party
In this county say they will nominate
for county officers their very best
men—men of the highest Integrity
and morality, whom aro respected by
all regardless of political affiliations.
The going Into effect of tho new
state constitution has sealed tho no
Bio's political doom in this county for
all time to come and realizing that he Is
no longer a potent factor In Republic
an jiolltlcs as he was In former days
he Is Inactive In political circles and
has taken a back seat.

Words of Commanding Officer Have
Had at Least a Temporary Effect
In Subduing Strikers—Nonunion
Men Unmolested.
Taraaqua, Pa., Aug. SO.—Strike lead

Panther Creek valley ls*t night
spreading the news of Qeneral Gobln*6
stern warning and hia Instructions to
the men to shoot and shoot to kill.
If molested in any maimer. Thai
the words of the commanding officer

was shown this morning when the
troops escorted several hundred non
union men to work without being mo
lested in any way. Companies E and
F went out at daybreak with their
gunk loaded and their best, marksmen
on the flank. When the soldiers
passed the crowds of strikers on the
street deliberately turned their backs
to them. However, there was no
hooting or Jeering.
Supplementing his order of last
night General Gobin has directed Ma
jor Gearhait in command to arrest
all women and girls who insult the
troops in any way. The opinion
seems to prevail among the officers
and citizens that the lull in the riot
ing will last but a short time. The
fact that more men went to work to
day than yesterday is not calculated
to Improve the of the strik
ers.

lng a negro who, would now vote tho
Republican ticket. Ha predicted
that tho negroes of his county would
vote the Democratic ticket In the con

Tho anti-Pritchard movement
among the negroes promises to spread
over the entire state, and it Is freely
predicted that a majority of the blac is
who aro qualified to vote will oppose
the senator. Of course this means
an easy victory for the Democrats.
Tho white Republicans who unseat

Imperial Government’6 Plan for Deal
ing with Combination 16 Awaited
with Intense Interest—Statement of
Leading British Shipowner.
London, Aug. 30.—The approaching
expiration of the time limit fur the
completion of tile Atlantic shipping
combine Is arousing tho British press
to ail sorts of speculation regarding
J. Plerpout Morgan’s ultimate plans
os well as the government’s scheme
for dealing with the combination.
The promised statement of tho pre
mier on tho re-assembling of parlia
ment Is awaited with Intense Inter
est. The statement already has
been printed that the government
plans are complete and that the «u-
thonltics are all ready to make an ef
fective counter-move against tho
American syndicate. Inquiries made
hy the Associated Press hi the lx st
informed quarters indicate that tlds
announcement Is not true. The gov
ernment has had to deal with so maay
powerful and conlllctlng Interests that
It has not yet been able to definitely
decide on a plan of action. In spite
of the opposition to a gen
eral subsidy scheme well-inform
ed persons consider this t
the most likely solution, on the
llne6 of a generous distribution of
government support, not In behalf of
one, but of several companies. The
form which such assistance will take
Is stm under discussion, flxere being
considerable opposition to straight
subsidies.
There ts no doubt that Mr. Bal
four's announcement will Include
scheme for a direct, fast Canadian
service, In which tho Canadian Pacific
railrood probably will participate, but
r.ot, as originally planned, tm sole
pnomoter and beneficiary. The lndl
cations point more and more to tho
drawing together of rhe- At Unit W: lines
outside of the Morgan combine.
One of tire aUlanc(« whft-h may be
earliest expected Is a combination of
the alleged linos and Elder, Dempster
& Oo. The beads of the English
lines are chary In expressing them
selves on the Atlantic outlook. Time
Is rather Intensifying than allaying
their Jealousy of the Americans’ bid
for the Atlantle trade, and the gov
ernment has been so thoioughly stir
red up that tt will not leave a stone
unturned to allay tho existing com
mercial anil colonial discontent. In
fihls connection It may ho mentioned
that tho tariff dlcusslons at the re
cent colonial conference were very
Intimately connected with the shipping
situation. A lending shipowner and
a clone friend of the colonial secre
tary. Joseph Chamberlain, said to a
representatives of the Associat
ed Press: ,
“America must not think that tire
Imperial government is going to leave
the colonies at tin- mercy of the ship
ping or any other trust. Tho dis
content is acute onough now in many
quarters of tho omptre. While Great
Britain does not want a commercial
war with the United States, she will
not stand Indefinitely being shift out
by the American tariff wall while
keeping open house for American trad
era In tho United Kingdom. The
question of retaliatory duties la not
Improbable os many people Im
agine. T he re ts no reason why tho
British colonial markotB should he
opened to British goods on a prefer
ential basis. We hove been BAleop
here In England a long time, but when
we wake up America had better look
out.”
Sir Christopher Furness, who has
been referred to ns rhe possible head
of the English financial synftlcate
which Is likely to purchase tho Cunard
fleet aa the nucleus of a British ship
ping combine, hinted nt similar possi
bilities yesterday In h1s speech be
fore the steamship meeting at Man

spoken ns tho leading shipowner

over this a small hemp rope. At the
other end of tho rope was tied secure

rooms, was thrown over tho door and
the door was then closed, which pre
vented the rope from slipping. It
appears that the old gentleman then
limbed in a chair. In which ho had
placed two books, and attaching the
to his neck, he threw himself
out of the chair. No one knows how
long he hid been hanging there before

the war office to redtvo the expenses
of cavalry officers so as to enable a
