Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 25.—Demo- cratic primaries to name the nominees oi the party loi tne election in No vember are neing held in Alabama to day. In Alabama, as in every strict ly Democratic state in the south, the selection made at the primaries is equivalent to an election. State of ficers will be chosen, legislators se lected and in many parts of the com monwealth county officers will also be selected. There is more than ordinary interest attached to this primary, for the reason that the coming legislature is to elect a United States senator. The term of United States Senator E. F. Pettus is about to expire. He is a candidate for renomination and for re-election. As far as is publicly known, there is no opposition. There are two candidates for the gu bernatorial nomination—W. D. Jelks, at present governor oi Alabama, and Captain Joseph J. Johnston, former governor. The former, as president of the senate, succeeded Governor W. J. Samford, who died after being in office but a short time, nearly two years ago. Captain Johnston served two terms as governor. Other offl- »es to oe filled are secretary of state, lieutenant governor, treasurer, audi tor, attorney general, superintendent of education and commissioner of agri culture. The new constitution, with is pro visions for registering and paying of poll taxes, the latter necessary to vote, but not compulsory as to being paid, has reduced the voting population of the state to 183.818 registered. The census of 1900 showed 232,394 white males over the age of 21 years. It is figured that there are 40,000 voters who have not paid their poll taxes. It is is not believed that the vote will 50 above 100,000, if that much. The term of governor in Alabama is four years. ITALIANS ATTACK MOTORMAN. Tried to Lynch Him Because He ran Over One of Them. New York, Aug. 25.—Because one of a party of fifteen Ital- lians was run over at Je rome avenue and Potter place by a trolley car, the men in the party at tacked the motorman, John O’Neil, pulled him off the car and beat him and attempted to drag him to a tree with the Intention of hanging him. The passengers of the crowded car inter fered and fighting ensued, but police reserves appeared, drove the crowd of 2.000 away, which took nearly an hour, and rescued O’Neil. The Injured man. Rosano Chrlstlano, was leading two children. He made them run on ahead as he saw the car coming. Chrlstlano was knocked down by the car and both legs were cut off. INHABITANT* PL1D IN TERROR. Earthquake Depopulates Town of Chamerlce, Guatemala. Son Diego. Col.. Aug. 25.—The Kos- m«s liner, Kambysses, which has ar rived here from Hamburg via the east coaet of South and Central America, reports that while running through the tropics she was In many electrical storms, which lighted up the heavens In a wonderful manner. When she approached Chamerlco, en the west coast of Guatemala the lights of active volcanoes were seen for many miles at sea. On reaching port It was found that the inhabitants of the town had all fled an account of an earthquake and the steamer had to discharge and take on freight with her own crew, as no longshoremen eould he found. Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 25.—Much im portance is attached to the calls Geu eral Gobln receives from coal mine op erators, who spend hours with the gen eral in going over the strike situation. After having met a number of oper ators, General Gobin said today that he does not see any signs of a settle ment. In fact, he states, all indications point more definitely to a prolonga tion of the strike now than they did when he first reached here. He keeps in touch with the strikers, as well as the operators, and may be seen daily riding over the hills with members ol his staff. Along the road he fre quently holds conversations with min ers, all of whom displayed friendly feeling toward him personally. There is no ill-feeing here against the sol diers, and the military has become so popular that a movement has been set afoot to start a company in this town. Individual operators are beginning to display evidence of a willingness to end the strike if a method could be shown them how they could make a concession to the men without stulti fying themselves. In speaking with numbers of the staff at brigade head quarters some have within the past few days stated that if a way could be suggested whereby they could give in without placing themselves in a bad light they would favor a settle ment. General Gobin is using his good offices toward a settlement, and he allows no opportunity to pass when in conference with operators, to make a conservative pica for the men on strike. COAL STRIKERS RIOTOUS. Special Policeman Is Stabbed and Beat- en at Hazleton. Hazleton, Pa., Aug. 25.—August Scheuch, aged 56 years, a special po liceman in the services of the Lehigh Valley Coal company, was assaulted and stabbed on the outskirts early today while attempting to rescue his son William Scheuch, a non-union workman employed at the company’s No. 40 colliery, from a mob of about 3,000 strikers, who had gathered from all parts of the Hazelton region on the roads leading to the mine to frus trate the plans of the company for a partial resumption of operations with a non-union forc« of 250 hands. A majority of the non-union men were taken to the workings in a spe cial train, which the strikers did not expect to Interfere with. Mr. Scheuch, who lives in this city, walked from his home toward the colliery and thus fell into the hands * of the pickets, iuost of the clothing was torn from his back In the struggle which follow ed. When Scheuch rushed to his a-d the mob set upon the elder Scheuch, who was finally rescued by a mine foreman and removed to the miners’ hospital. Scheuch was stabbed In the breast and on each hip, kicked lu the abdomen and struck on the head with a stone. His injuries are not very serious. Th® knife which was sunk Into his breast struck a rib and that fact probably saved his life. The effort to prevent work at the mine was successful. Many Pickets Patrolling Valley. Tamaqua. Pa..

The engine and nearly all of the coaches and Pullman cars were turned over and some of them badly wrecked. Strange to say, verj few people were seriousl* injured. Engineer Busha was badly hurt and it is reported that a negro tramp was killed. The train utn into an open switch, it is said. The railroad officials are mak ing a rigid investigation of the cause of the accident. The fast mail is one of the fastest trains operated on the Southern rail way and it handles thousands of pounds of mail matter, and this train was loaded with a large quantity of mail for southeastern and southwest ern points. This mail matter has been saved, and was sent to Atlanta on a relay train. Conductor Cannon was in charge of the train. Many Atlanta people re turning from the east were aboard, but none of them are reported seri ously hurt. The railway officials are hard at work clearing up the wreckage, but the line will be blocked all day. The fast mail train on the Southern is one of the most popular trains in the south. It Is always crowded, and is the train subsidized by the Unit ed States government to haul the malls from the east to the southeast and southwest. The officials of the Southern declare that the switch was thrown open by persons unknown and with malicious intent. Detectives and local officers are scouring the country for the mis creants and every effort will he made to apprehend the guilty parties. In regard to the wreck the Atlanta officials of the Southern are reticent. The full particulars have not yet been received by them and they decline to give out anything until they are fully Informed as to the cause and effects of the accident. BATTLE ABBEY LEASED.

Battle Abbey, which belonged to the late Duchess of Cleveland, widow of the fourth and last Duke of Cleve land, and mother of Lord Rosebery, was sold at auction last autumn to Sir Augustus Frederick Walpole Webster, a descendant of Sir Thomas Webster, who bought the abbey from the sixtn viscount Montague in 4.18, and in whose family the abbey remained for 130 years. The purchase price was the equivalent of $1,000,000. CHASE OF WHITE SQUADRON. Admiral Higginson to Submit Report to Navy Department Washington. Aug. 25.—Admiral Hlg. kIdsoq soon will submit to the navy deirartment an elaborate report of the results of the chase of the white squadron by the north Atlantic squad ron, which ended yesterday. In tha meantime the official report of the af fair is confined to the brief telegrams also received from Commander Pills- bury announcing his surrender and a dispatch from Admiral Higginson tell ing of the disposition he had made of the vessels engaged In th* chase. Naval officers here say that while the capture of the white squadron seemed to be a foregone conclusion, owing to the discrepancy In strength between the two squadrons, yet this chase has had Instructive and Impor tant results. It Is the expectation that perhaps next year another such chase •will be made In which the problem presented to the defending squadron will be much more difficult than that In which it has just been engaged.
