A "PIPE” OF OLIVES
Received by Fowlkes & Myatt—Tbe Largest
Original Olive Package Ever Re
ceived fn Birmingham.
Fowlkes & Myatt received yesterday a
' pipe" or cask of imported olives In orig
inal package, put up in Spain. The pipe
contains 169 gallons, weighing 1630
pounds. This is the largest shipment of
olives ever received in Rlrmingham.
When it is remembered that olives are
sold as a rule in half and pints the im
mensity of the above amount is appre
ciated; and when it is considered that
in bulk and in pint package they cart be
sold for about one-half the price as In
small quanties the trade will naturally
see and take advantage of the saving.
By way of parenthesis may be added
that these popular grocerymen are pre
paring for the opening of another new
feature in the commercial field here in
their line. But Fowlkes & Myatt already'
enjoy the picked trade of the city and
suburbs, and being fully aware that this
is the age not only of progress, but to
sell the best goods for the least money,
anything new they may do is not more
than the trading public naturally expects
of them.

Fifteen Hundred of Them Assembled and Rev
olted in Wilmington.
Wilmington. Del., Oct. 19.—A represen
tative gathering of 1500 persons met at
the opera house this evening to express
sympathy for Cuba. One hundred were
on the stage, including prominent busi

the Cubans in their trial here; Adjutant
General Hart of the state militia; Rev.

Rierra; Dr. J. W. GuIIeras. The opera
house was profusely decorated with flags

nimity characterized the proceedings.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed:
Whereas, As free citizens of the state
of Delaware we are in mass meeting as
sembled for the purpose of . voicing our
sympathy with the struggle of the people!
of the island of Cuba for independence
and self government.
Whereas, As the history of the present
and all former revolts of Cuba in the
rule of Spain shows that the attempts
of the Spanish government to retain Its
dominion of that island are marked by
such cruelties and inhumanities as are
not by the laws of nations permitted or
practiced in civil warfare; now therefore
be it
Resolved, That we extend to the Cu
bans now in revolt our full and sincere
sympathy with their present contpst for
political freedom; that as free citizens of
a free country in exercise of our right of
petition and in the name of humanity
we respectfully ask our national govern
ment as soon as it is consistent with in
ternal obligations to recognize the Cu
ban revolutionists as belligerents to the
end that a recognized status of belliger
ency may appeal to the common judg
ment of the civilized world for a mitiga
tion of the merciless character of the
warfare waged against them.

LONDON POLITICAL GOSSIP
The Turkish Question Is Ap
proaching a Crisis.
SALISBURY IS KEPT BUSY
According; Interviews. With the Russian
French, Austrian, Turkish, Chineseand
Other Foreign Ministers.
London, Oct. 19.—Much interest has
been excited in diplomatic and political
circles by the return to London of the
Hon. Schomberg M. McDonnel, the pri
vate secretary of Lord Salisbury, who
was not generally known to have left
England. It transpired that he returned
on Wednesday from a secret mission to
Constantinople. Outside of the mort In
timate foreign office circles his presence
in Constantinople was kept a close se
cret, ami the fact that he had been sent
on a mission to the Turk.Sh capital was
not known to either the English or Eu
ropean press.
Though nothing is known officially as
to the result of his mission. It Is sig
nificant that coincident with his presence
here tha official apprehension regarding
the gravity ol' the situation in Turkey
has increased. According to thoroughly
liable Information the Mohammedan
reform party, whch aims at the deposi
tion of the sultan and the formation of a
government under a constitution, relies
upon the support of Great Britain in
the event of a revolution proving eveti
partly successful. On the other hand. It
Is understood that the sultan has ob
tained the assurance that three powers
will support him against any movement
tending to anarchy if he a-dheres faith
fully to his Armenian compact. No in
terference of the allied powers can go
beyond the moral support without rup
turing the alliance, owing to the diversity
of the Interests involved, with a view to
striking In when the upheaval of the
Turks comes. Austria has joined the ex
isting entente between Great Britain,
Russia and France. In high official cir
cles here the undoubted expectation Is
that a climax in the fate of the Turks
will not long be delayed.
The archbishop of Canterbury an
nounces that a Pan-Angliclan will be con
vened in Lambeth palace, the arch-Epis
copal residence. In 1897. It is thirty years
since the last conference of the kind was
held.
The Standard says that the conference
will be invested with peculiar power, in
view of the overtures the Vatican has
made to England on questions that have
not been stirred since the revolution of’
1688. It Is ol' the'highest importance that
the Church of England should demon
strate to the world that Anglicanism Is
a distinct, powerful and independent
branch of the church Catholic, and that
It is entitled to negotiate with Rome on
a footing of perfect equality*. It will be
particularly interesting. It adds, to hear
what the bishops of the great trans
Atlantic republic have to say and to
lesm whether tfrey think any possible re
union with Ryme would Le too dearly
purchased. The conference ought to
bring home to the people the fact that
the Anglican Is the mother church of a
great Catholic communion that is spread
over the world.
The bishop of London, preaching yes
terday at St. Paul's, declared that any
attempt to effect a reunion with Rome
or the dissenters would rend the English
church In twain.
Today's dispatches from Constantino
ple concur In the assertion that the Sul
tan is keenly alive to the dangers me
nacing his personal safety, and that he is
ready to resort to the severest measures
as soon as his enemies afford him a pre
text for action.
What elements of organization exist
among the Moslem reformers or whether
they are sufficient to enable them mak
ing a concerted movement against the
palace remains unknown. The advices
received here refer vaguely to the old and
young Turkish parties, but so completely
fail to indicate how these parties are
constituted as to leave the Impression
that nothing worthy of the name of a
real party can be found In Turkey. The
strongest clique opposed to the palace Is
said to be desirous of replacing the Sul
tan by his youngest brother. Prince
Suleiman Effindi, who was born January
12, 1861, passing over Mohammed Effendi,
his second brother, who is the heir ap
parent to the throne. It is contended
that the exclusive harem education that
the latter has been given has unfitted
him to cope with the desperate fortunes
of the empire.
Native capitalists, who are most likely
to know what Is passing, are selling
everything that they possess In the em
pire. Some of them are even clearing oast
with their households for Egypt. The
Greek ring In Constantinople view the
approaching storm with alarm, and are
sending their families to Athens so that
they will be In a place of safety when the
Storm clouds burst.
The Rt Hon. George J. Goschen. first
lord of the admiralty, had a conference
with Prime Minister Salisbury yester
day in relation to the retention of the
British fleet at the Island of Lemnos,
which Is within convenient striking dis
tance of the Turkish QapltaJ. Both Lord
Salisbury and Mr. Goschen will leave
London today, but their absence will ex
tend only over Sunday. The situation Is
such that Lord Salisbury Is not'allowed
a day’s respite. Since Wednesday he has
been obliged to accord interviews with the
Russian, French, Austrian and Turkish
ambassadors and the Chinese and other
ministers. Since Mr. Gosohen's return
from the continent orders have been sent
to Gibralter to expedite the construction
of the new docks .there for .the use of the
British Mediterranean squadron. Whether
or not Gibralter is of the first stragettc
importance, the government treats it as
a great naval basils for the future struggle
for supremacy In tlje Mediterranean.
Two thousand men have been working on
the new dock, and this number will be
inoreased under the Instructions that
have been sent to those who have charge
of the works.

seems that the young men have added
luster to a name already famed. Hev. N.
G. Taylor, their father, was a minister
of great repute, a Prlncetonlan, and their
mother was a sister of London C. Haynes,
Confederate senator. These two men
were the most Impassioned orators of
their day, great leaders of men.
N. G. Tayloi* was once in congress
(whig), was commissioner of Indian af
fairs In President Johnson’s cabinet, pres
idential elector and nominee for governor.
Bob Taylor was once In congress, twice
governor and twice elector at large.
Alf Taylor was thrice in congress, twice
republican elector and once nominee for
governor.
The remarkable feature of It. and it is
unparalleled in American history. Is that
all three of these men represented the
same district In congress, each in turn
(the district represented twelve years by
Andrew Jackson), eadh of different poli
tics. Bob Taylor overcame a republican
majority of E600.
All three were nominated for governor
in 1686 by their respective parties, the
old gentleman being then a prohibition
ist. He declined to antagonize his son*,
but Bob and Alf accepted and locked
horns In a race, said to have been the
most brilliantly conteeted In the history
of the oountry. They had the whole
male population up marching and shout
ing with brass bands, bonfires and bunt
ing. cavalcading from county to county
by the thousands.
Bob Taylor, It is conceded, will be
nominated for governor again next year,
and possibly also Alf.
The young men combine the arts and
talents In their moat exquisite perfec
tin'** of the orator, statesman and actor.
and they are gentlemen ot rare refine
ment and the most magnetic attractive
ness. Boh would have been as great as
Booth or Jo Jefferson or Brlgnoll In either
role. Each of thtm combines a versatili
ty of talent that Is rarely found united
In such brilliant perfection In one in
dividual.
A If Taylor is a violinist with most ex
quisite touch. Bob has a great rich voice
which he delights to exploit In song.
James Whitcomb Riley, the-HoosIer poet,
visited them at their homes In the moun
tains recently and was so captivated by
them that his muse wrought Itself Into
such a mood that It perpetrated the fol
lowing beautiful lines, which he in
scribed on the fly-leaf of a volume of his
poems and presented to Alf:
"That’s how this here old fiddle’s won my
heart's endurin' love!
From the strings acrost her middle, to the
screechln’ Keys above.
From her 'apron,' over 'bridge' and to the
ribbon round her throat.
She’s a wooln’, cooln’ pigeon, singln' 'love
me’ every note.”
It is not remarkable that such men
draw people to see them and hear them
wherever they go.
