GOVERNOR OATES
Appoints a State Committee for the Mexican
International Exposition.
Governor Oates, at the earnest solici
tation of the representatives of the Mexi
can government, has appointed the fol
lowing well known and experienced busi
ness men of the state of Alabama, to act

ardson, Huntsville; MaJ. E. Y. Anderson,
Birmingham; Capt. George F. Ely, Mont
gomery; Hon. J. Craigh Smith, Mont

It will be the means of opening up ail ex

looked by the export trade of the United
States.
After noticing the forward movement
of the Mexican nation, It can be readily
understood that the needs of the people
are increasing proportionately, and that
a market of enormous value is being
opened up to the world.
The ohjeot of the exposition Is to bring
about a closer relation between the sister

Will Oppose tke Request.
London, Nov. 22.-r-The Standard will
tomorrow publish a dispatch from Con
stantinople saying: The great council
which assembled last night, and which
was still sitting at the time the dispatch
was sent is considering the question of
additional gunboats to the Bosphorous.
All the ministers and high civil, militia
and naval officials were sharing In the
discussion, as it Is felt to be the Issue of
the greatest. Importance.
The treaty of Paris rendered it diffi
cult for the sultan to refuse the firmans
that had been asked. If he should refuse
It would possibly lead to the powers re
questing that they be allowed to have
three or four vessels each at Constan
tinople Instead of two. Peslmlsts predict
a stubborn resistancs at the palace to the
request of the powers, end possibly a
rising should the boats appear. The
writer of the dispatch thinks the palace
will yield.
