ONE TOWN PARTIALLY BURNED Guerrilla Warfare Continues and Frequent Attempts at Ambush Are Made. A Manila special says: Of late the insurgents in Albay province, Luzon, have adopted harrassing tactics against towns which the Americans have garrisoned. They camp in the hills and mountains and constantly fire upon the American outposts. When the troops sally against them they scatter, returning when the Americans retire. They shoot burning arrows, and have thus burned a large part of the town of Albay. Indeed, most of the larger towns in the province are practically deserted, except by the garrisons. Scarcely any of the inhabitants return to their homes. They are camping in the interior, and it is supposed armed insurgents prevent them going back. It is reported that there is much suffering among them owing to lack of food. As a result of these conditions the hemp business in that section is seriously hindered and ships going for cargoes are compelled to take gangs of coolies to do their landing. Hemp held in the interior is quite inaccessible. General Bell will take two regiments and a battery through the provinces of North Camarines and South Camarines, going there on transports. Many insurgents retreated to that part of the island from Cavite and Batangas provinces. Another expedition will soon start to garrison towns along the north coast of the island of Mindanao. Guerrilla warfare continues south of Manila. Two attempts have been made to ambush the Americans. Colonel Schwan, while returning to Manila with his staff and an escort of 100 from Batangas, was attacked by the insurgents. The latter were dispersed, but the Americans had seven men wounded. Lieutenant Colonel Beacon, with six companies of the Forty-second infantry, had a two hours' fight with General Pio del Pilar's command, which attempted to ambush the Americans along the trail through Morong province near the lake. Here also the insurgents were dispersed, but the Americans had several wounded, among them a captain. General Bell is operating southward through Zambales province with a small force. Another expedition is proceeding northward from Subig. It is reported that the insurgent general, Alejandro, has recovered from his wound and has assembled a large force in that district. The bubonic plague continues. Eight cases were reported last week among the natives and Chinese. There is no excitement, however, and business and social life in Manila are undisturbed. Smallpox is prevalent among the natives along the railroad, and in the towns on the northern coast. Two officers of the Thirty-sixth infantry have died of the disease and another officer and several soldiers have been stricken. LEGAL BARRIER REMOVED. Seaboard Air Line Can Now Proceed With Consolidation. What is claimed to be the last legal barrier to the consolidation of the various lines composing the Scaboard Air Line system was removed Saturday by Judge Waddill, sitting in the United States circuit court at Richmond when he delivered his opinion refusing Ryan's application for injunction. The state senate committee at Richmond has, by a vote of 10 to 20, decided to report favorably the bill to incorporate the proposed new line from Richmond to Washington. OVER A MILLION LIABILITIES. Famous New York Stock Broker Files Pettition In Bankruptcy. A New York dispatch says: Anthony W. Dimock, twenty-five years ago a famous stock operator, head of the firm of A. W. Dimock & Co., bankers and brokers, Wall street, filed a petition in bankruptcy Saturday. His liabilities are set down at $1,292,735; his assets $150. Russia Admits Coal Free. On the proposal of M. DeWitte, the minister of finance, the czar of Russia has consented to the importation of coal, exclusively for the use of the Russian railways free of duty until September 1, next. VOL. XV. Russla Admits Coal Free. WOLCOTT GIVES WARNING. Senator Says the Abandonment of Bimetallism Would Be Fatal To Republicans. The final week's discussion of the pending financial bill was begun in the senate Monday. The speakers were two Republicans, Mr. Elkins, of West Virginia, and Mr. Wolcott, of Colorado, and one Populist, Mr. Butler, of North Carolina. Mr. Elkins advocated the passage of the pending senate measure in a brief but forceful argument. Mr. Wolcott, chairman of the international bimetallic commission of 1897, spoke for many Republicans who adhere to bimetallism and his speech, earnest and eloquent, was received with unusual attention. Mr. Butler advocated the adoption of his amendment providing for an issue of paper-currency by the government. A house bill for the preservation of the frigate constitution was passed, the measure providing that the ship should be restored as nearly as possible to its original condition. The following bills on the general calendar were passed: To construct a road to the national cemetery at Dover, Tenn., at a cost of $11,500; to carry into, effect two resolutions of the continental congress to be erected to the memory of General Francis Nash and William L. Davidson, of North Carolina, appropriating $1,000 for each; to encourage enlistments in the navy by providing successful applicants with an outfit valued at $45; to authorize Hon. A. S. Handy, at present minister of the United States to Greece, Roumania and Servia, to accept the decoration tendered him by the shah of Persia; to authorize the following naval officers to accept orders and decorations tendered them by the government of Venezuela—Rear Admiral W. T. Sampson, Captain H. C. Taylor, Captain F. A. Cook, Captain C. D. Sigsgbee, Captain F. E. Chadwick, Captain C. F. Goodrich, Commander W. W. Meadrich, Commander M. J. H. Dayton, Commander F. M. Symonds and Commander C. C. Tood. BEFORE JUDGE TAFT. Application For Injunction of Kentucky Election Commissioners Is Heard. In the United States circuit court of appeals at Cincinnati, Monday afternoon, Judge W. H. Taft heard arguments for over three hours on the applications for injunctions against the Kentucky state board of election commissioners and the contestants for the state officers other than governor and lieutenant governor. The large courtroom was unable to hold all who came to the federal building for admission. Very many of the visitors were from the Kentucky side. The plaintiffs were represented by Bradley, Wilson, Sweeney and Yost, all of Kentucky. The defendants were represented by Scott, Hendrick, Hager and Maxwell, the latter being a member of the bar of Cincinnati and the others of Kentucky. After the conclusion of the arguments, Judge Taft advised counsel that he would announce his decision so far as the court having jurisdiction in the cases concerned at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. A TELEGRAM FROM BULLER. General Notifies Field Marshal Roberts of His Bad Flight. The war office at London has received the following dispatch from Field Marshal Lord Roberts, dated from the Modder river, Sunday, February 11th: "I have received a telegram from Buller as follows, dated Friday, February 9: "It was necessary after seizing Vaal Krantz to entrench it as the pivot of further operations. But I found after trying two days, that owing to the nature of the ground that this was impracticable. It was also exposed to fire of heavy guns in positions from which our artillery was dominated. It is essential to troops advancing on Ladysmith by Harding or Monger's drift to hold Vaal Krantz securely, and accordingly we are not pressing the advance by those roads, as I find we cannot make it secure." Ransom Holds Cotton. Ex-Senator M. W. Rauson, the biggest cotton growing North Carolinian, is still holding 1,000 bales of the present crop. The rise has so far netted him about $3,000. EIGHT AND A HALF CENTS. Hard Matter For Columbus Men To Get Cotton At That Figure. Cotton sold for 8 1/2 cents in Columbus, Ga. Tuesday, and was hard to get at that fancy figure. The big jump in New York was instantly responded to and before night people with cotton were hesitating before taking 8 and were taking of 8 1/2 cents. There were but few sales. Flitz Anxious to Flight. Bob Fitzsimmons has posted $5,000 with the sporting editor of The New York Journal as a forfeit to bind another match with Jim Jeffries, and issued an open challenge to meet any fighter in the world. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 17. 1900. TAYLOR DON'T SIGN Peace Negotiations In Kentucky Are Broken Off. TROOPS WITHDRAW FROM FRANKFORT Legislators Are Ordered Back to Capital. Contest Will Now Go to the Courts. A Frankfort dispatch says: Nearly every Republican committeeman was in the city Saturday. Several Republican members of the legislature were among the number, including Senator Kirk and Johnson and Representative Lewis. Shortly before 11 o'clock the doors of the capitol were opened and the state delegates went to the assembly room, the first time it has opened since the shooting of Governor Goebel. At 11 o'clock Governor Taylor accompanied by Private Secretary Todd, Secretary of State Caleb Powers and Thatcher entered the assembly rooms. His arrival was the signal for. a wild outburst of cheering, men standing on chairs and yelling and waving their hats in greeting. The doors were then locked and a guard placed at the door. After a two hours' session Governor Taylor definitely decided that he would not sign the Louisville agreement, and decided to allow the matter to be settled in the courts and will abide by their decision. Shortly after the meeting the following statement was given out: "After mature deliberation and conference with my friends from every section of the state, I have concluded to allow this controversy to take its due course, vigorously contesting every inch of ground and upholding the rights of the people to the uttermost. If those rights be destroyed, the responsibility for that destruction must rest with those who sit in judgment. "It is due to say that the eminent gentlemen, my friends, who secured the proposition resulting from the Louisville conference, acted in perfect good faith, from the highest motives of patriotism and did the very best they could. W. S. TAYLOR. During the conference Governor Taylor stated to the members that there were two courses to be pursued. First, to sign the Louisville agreement; the second to quietly withdraw the troops, allow the legislature to reconvene in the capitol building in Frankfurt; to call off the session now being held in London and to ignore the Louisville agreement entirely. Several speeches were made and it was soon apparent that the sentiment of the gathering was very strongly in favor of the second course, and this was adopted. PROCLAMATION ISSUED. The following proclamation was issued Saturday afternoon: FRANKFORT, Ky., Feb. 10, 1900.—The excitement recently prevailing in this city having to some extent subsided and there appearing now to be no necessity for the general assembly to remain in session in London, I do hereby by this proclamation reconvene the same in Frankfort, Ky., February 12, 1900, at 12 o'clock noon. Orders were at once issued to Gen. Collier to prepare for the departure of the troops, and in a very short time a large number of them were ready to leave. Six companies left Saturday night; more departed Sunday and only a small detachment remained by Monday morning. These, it is said, are retained only as a peace guard. Word was at once sent to the members of the Republican legislature, in session in London, that the next session would be in Frankfort, and a prompt reply was received to the effect that they would all leave in a body on Sunday, and be in Frankfort Monday. The action of Governor Taylor now returns the gubernatorial fight to the exact position it occupied on the day following the Goebel assassination, with the additional complication that there was then but one legislature and one governor in fact, whereas there are now two claimants for the position, and two separate bodies, each claiming to be the lawmaking power of Kentucky. LEAK IN GAS PIPE Causes Death of Engineer, His Wife and Baby at Chicago. Martin Jordan, an engineer, his wife, Mary, and their five months' old boy, were asphyxiated by gas last Saturday night in their home in Chicago. A leak in a gas pipe in the basement deluged the house with gas and when found by other members of the family had been dead for several hours. San Salvador Flame Swent. A cablegram from San Salvador, Central America, states that the city has been visited by a serious fire. The total loss is estimated at $1,000,000. ANTI=TRUST CONFERENCE League Meets In Chicago and Discusses Evil and Remedy. FAVORABLE PROGRESS IS MADE Congressman Sulzer, of New York, Makes a Forcible Argument Against Present Conditions. A Chicago special says: Monday night, at the close of the first day's proceedings of the anti-trust conference called by the National Anti-Trust League, good progress had been made with the set speeches, of which a dozen or more were delivered. Mayor Harrison welcomed the delegates on behalf of the city. Already, he said, the senate of the United States had been reduced to a small convention of the owners and representatives of the trusts. A few years more would see the house and our judiciary reduced to the same condition. Former Judge William Prentiss, of Illinois, was selected temporary chairman, and addressed the convention. The resolutions committee meantime was busy and formulated resolutions covering the following points: Government ownership of all railway and telegraph lines; the abolition of all special privileges by legislative enactments; placing on the free list all trust goods, and direct legislation from the people. The discussion in committee was carried out on those lines. An amendment was offered for the taxation of all frauises, but was voted down on the ground that such action would simply legalize special privileges. H. S. Bigelow was the first speaker at the night session. Congressman William Sulzer, of New York, received a hearty, reception when presented to the audience. He said: "The law on the statute books against trusts is clear and plain and the highest court in the land has passed upon its validity and sustained the constitutionality of its provision. The anti-trust law of 1890 declares that every contract or combination in the nature of a trust in restraint of trade and commerce among the several states or with foreign nations is a conspiracy, illegal and void, and punishable by fine and imprisonment. Under this act it seems to me every trust in the United States can be prosecuted for violation of the law, the charter annulled and the men behind it punished for conspiracy. Every trust by its very nature is in restraint of trade and commerce and in violation of this law. "How much longer will the people consent to be robbed and submissively permit a continuation of this outrage? The trusts have their being and grow by special legislation; they live and wax fat by governmental favoritism. If the question is ever presented whether the trusts shall own and run the government and enslave humanity, or whether the people shall own and run the trusts—not for the benefit of the few, but for the good of all—and free the industrial masses, then I shall vote for the people and in favor of government ownership of the trusts. "To sum it all up, the Republican party stands for Hanna, and the Republican party is Hanna." "The Democratic party is the party of the plain people. It is opposed to trusts and monopolies—to special privileges. It stands for the supremacy of the law. It believes in freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of action, freedom of trade and free institutions. It believes in the constitution, in fostering commerce, unfettering trade, establishing industry, aiding enterprise, maintaining equal opportunities, defending liberty, unshackeling the mind and the conscience and handing down unimpaired to future generations our free institutions." English Agents Killed. Advices from Rangoon, British Burmah, state that British Commissioners Kiddle and Sutherland, who had been engaged in the demarkation of the Burmo-Chinese boundary, have been murdered in the Monghem district. Consul Lifton was wounded, but escaped. Railroad Bridge Damaged. Three spans of the Tallassee and Montgomery railroad bridge, across the Alabama river, were washed away Tuesday night. The river was in a frightfully swollen condition by the heavy rains and considerable damage is the result. Tribune.

A VIGOROUS PLATFORM After a heated debate Thursday night the resolution committee of the anti-trust conference, in session at Chicago, decided to report in favor of government ownership of railroads and for their seizure on payment of actual value without payment for "watered stock or other fictitious values." The committee also unanimously favored direct popular legislation as a means of obtaining the result. President Lockwood, of the, antitrust league, said that he regretted that William J. Bryan's name was mentioned in the discussions and declared it was his intention to keep politics out of the conference. The platform unanimously adopted by the committee declares for government ownership of all public utilities and natural monopolies, government money, the referendum and direct legislation and the withdrawal of all protective tariffs from all articles controlled by a trust. Among other things, after urging the organization to deprive trusts of their power, it says: We make no assault upon business combination, for diminishing productive cost or augmenting productive efficiency. What we do ask is combinations for coercing producers and lessening production. It is such combinations that constitute the trust evil and they we would abolish, root and branch. When oppressive trusts are examined they are found to be combinations not for augmenting wealth, but for hampering its production; not for making things plentiful and cheap, but for making them scarce and dear. Their strength lies in a more intense concentration of monopoly privileges. The platform particularly attacks the Standard Oil trust to which it says monopoly engendering laws have committed the regulation of the peoples' needs and rights in one department of industry. "Their needs and rights in another have been by similar laws committed to the beef trust." A number of set speeches were heard at the morning and afternoon sessions of the conference. The night session was in the form of a mass meeting, which was held in the Auditorium and brought out some of the strongest speakers among the delegates, including John P. Altgeld, F. S. Monnett, Samuel M. Jones, John S. Crosby, George Fred Williams and Tom L. Johnson. Resolutions introduced by Judge Fleming, of Kentucky, were adopted by a rising vote, strongly condemning the currency bill before congress. A committee to prepare a memorial to the United States senate against the bill was provided for and the people of the country urged to gather at court houses, school houses and other public places to protest against the measure.

RIOTS AT MARTINIQUE. White Residents of Fort De France Appeal to Island Governor. Advices from Fort de France, Island of Martinique, state that the white inhabitants of La Francois, being threatened with death by rioting strikers, have sought refuge in Fort de France, the governor having declared it impossible to guarantee their lives. The managers of the plantations are requesting permission to organize forces of military for the purpose of protecting the persons' who are kept at work, but the governor will not accept the responsibility of authorizing such a step. NO 19 CARNEGIE MUST ANSWER FRICK Charges Are Brought Against Steel Magnate and Philanthropist. HE IS ACCUSED OF SCHEMING Business Partner Alleges He Was Fraudulently Driven Out of the Firm--Sult In Equity Filed. A Pittsburg, Pa., dispatch says: Henry Clay Frick filed a bill in equity Tuesday in the court of common pleas No. 1 of Allegheny county against Andrew Carnegie and the Carnegie Steel Company, limited, praying first, for a decree that the pretended transfer of his interests in the company was and is null and void, and that he is the owner of all such interest and is entitled in every lawful way to represent and act for the same; for an injunction restraining the defendants from any interference with his interest in the said company and from excluding him from participation in the care and management of the assets and business. The bill in equity is quite lengthy and as summarized by Willis Cook, Esq., counsel for Mr. Frick, is as follows: In 1892 there were two limited partnerships: (1) Called Carnegie Bros. & Co., limited, with a capital of $5,000,000, which made steel rails and owned only the Edgar Thompson steel rail in braddock township, and (2) Called Carnegie, Phipps & Co., limited, with a capital of $5,000,000, which made all kinds of steel plates, structural material, iron forging, made the material and built bridges, made armor plates and made material for the same. Carnegie owned over 50 per cent of each of the old firms, and he, with Frick, Phipps and others owning interests in each, formed in 1892 what constituted a new partnership called the Carnegie Steel Company, Limited. In this Carnegie retained over 50 per cent and now has 581 per cent, while Frick has 6 per cent. Both old firms were merged into the new, which had a capital of $25,000,-000 and operated all the old works. This new firm was under the immediate care and supervision of Frick, as chairman, from 1892 to December 5, 1899. It greatly enlarged the capacity of its different works, enlarged their output and purchased other plants, ore mines, etc. THE ESTIMATES DIFFEBED. In November, 1899, Carnegie estimated the net profits for 1900 at $40,-000,000 and Frick then estimated them at $42,000,000. Carnegie valued the entire property at over $250,000,000 and avowed his ability, in ordinarily prosperous times, to sell the property on the London market for £100,000,000 sterling, or $500,000,000. In May, 1899, Carnegie actually received in cash, and still keeps, $1,170,-000 given him as a mere bonus for his ninety days' option to sell his $58 per cent interest in this steel company for $157,950,000. Frick's 6 per cent on that basis would be worth $16,238,000. Frick now alleges, right at the head of this enormously successful business, whereby at least in part he made for Carnegie three enormous profits and values, that Carnegie suddenly, and with malevolent intent toward him, on December 4, 1899, arbitrarily demanded of him his resignation as chairman, and this without any reason except to gratify Carnegie's malice. Frick, in the interest of harmony, gave his resignation and subsequently, on January 11, 1900, after Carnegie had thus deprived him of his office, he (Carnegie) demanded of Frick that he (Frick) should sell to the firm his interest in it at a figure which would amount to less than one-half of what this interest is fairly worth. Frick refused to sell at that price, but offered to sell and allow three men to value the interest sold. Carnegie refused this and left Frick, threatening him for not yielding to his demand. FRADULENT SCHEME CHARGED. Frick now alleges that after his resignation and at the time of this last interview, Carnegie was fraudulently and secretly, without Frick's knowledge or consent, attempting to carry out a scheme, which, if successful, would enable Carnegie, as Carnegie hoped, to confiscate Frick's interest in the firm at probably not over 33 percent of its real value; that is, say, not over $6,000,000 for what, on the basis of Carnegie's option, was worth $16,-288,000. All this, it is alleged, Carnegie did secretly, and purposely to conceal the knowledge thereof from Felick. : we Ne FFE ‘ a { The Savannah Tribune, = PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CF, ST.

They Are the Standard Bear- ers ofthe First District, The republican convention of the First Congressional District was held on Wednesday at the Harris street hall. ‘The meeting was called to order by Capt. L. M. Pleasant, the district chairman. Upon roll call ic was found that delegates from nine coun- ties were present, the county not represented being Melntosh. ‘There were oontests from two counties, which were amicably settled “by the committee on credentials, and ap- proyed by the convention. Capt. Pleasant was elected tempor- ary chairman and Mr. W. E. Moore temporary secretary. After the re- port of the committee on credentials, the temporary organization was made permanent. Col. John H. Deveaux and Hon. W. Rt. Leaken and Mr S. 0. Cherry were placed in nomination as dele- gates to the national convention. Mr. Cherry declined in favor of the sther gentlemen who were unani- monusly elected, after eulogistic speeches were made by several of the lelegates. Prof. S. B. Morse of this city and Mr. SO. Cherry of Way- nesboro, were elected as alteruates. Capt. Pleasaat and Mr. Moore were elected chairman and secretary respectively for the next four years. The meeting was a harmonious one. Stalwart republicans from the lzeveral counties were in attendance. Patriotic speeches were made by the delegates, and in fact a regular love feast was bad. Hon. W. A. Pledger honored the convention with hispresence. ‘The opposition led by Love and Wright seeing their dire weakness sent to Atlanta for Cols. Johnson and Pledger to come on Tnesday to harmonize the differences that exist between themeclves and the regular organization. Being anxious for harmony these gentlemen _came and a conference was held. There were present nine men from each side. Several propositions were offered but were rejected. It was finally agreed that the two district conentions be held and allow the matter to be set- tled by the state convention. Four of the Love-Wright crowd roted against it, but it availed nothing. The representative of the regular organization voted solidly for it, be- cause they are willing to rest their euse in the hands of the state con- vention. - The Love-Wright contingent helda " meeting Tuesday night.

H SINGLETON, Reply to Fair Play. ee a en ors | A communication, signed “Fair Play”, in the South, of Augusta, Ga, headed, “Why Persecute Professor Wright ?” has attracted my attention and induces me to point out the mis- takes of “Fair Play.” ‘The writer asks “ig it a crime for a man who devotes his time to training the youths touc- cept at‘the hands of the parents of those youths, the honor of represent- ing them iu the convention which is to nominate the President of the United States?” ‘The writer also saya Prof, Wright has not neglected his duty as president of the State College, and that certain parties are secking the aid of Democrats to muz- zle Prof Wright. ‘The facts are that Prof. Wright is making x frantic effort to be elected a delegate tp the National Convention himself on hisown motion, and there has certainly veen no demand for him to accept the place agdelegate. Prof. Wright is begging for the office, aud not only leaves his pluce as president of the State College to attend the political conventions being held to select. delegates, but has had Prof. Sugge, Rey ‘Travers, of the faculty, prancing over the state electioneering ‘n his bebalf.

Uncontiortable Homes, | _ Not very long ago ‘a physician ir Brunswick published a pamphlet stating that the Negro race in thi: country was dying out very fust, and ‘attributed the cause to the luck of cleanliness and the violation of the laws of hygiene. This was not the first time euch a statement had been made, Physicians of both races, ev- ery now and then, write lengthy treatises on the'mortality of colored people without pointing out the crucial cause. In our judgment nothing is enfee- bling the health of our People 80 much as the miserable house-hovels and localities in which the masses are obliged to live. Many of the shacks in which they live are a dis- grace to civilization. ‘They usually contain three or four rooms and no hall-way, one or two fireplaces, and oft-times no water, and if ceiled at all the plastering is a mere shell, ‘The front room is often bed room and sitting room; whether the fami- ly is sick or well it is the main pas- sageway. To besick in such a room in the biting weather that visits ua now and then without heating facil- ities is indeed deplorable. ‘The greed for riches is so great on ‘the part of many property owners that they build and rent any kind of 8 trap to our people, as arule. Land- lords may say that they can’t afford to build better houses for fear of having them pulled to pieces or else of not being able to rent them at higher prices. = We are not advocating the bnild- ing of palatial residences but we in- sist that the houses in which they are suffered to live ought to be well built, neat and comfortable—they ought to contain such facilities as are conducive to health, happiness and comfort. ‘I'here is neither sense nor justice in calling s man dirty or commenting upon his untimely death when it is in yoyr power to keep him clean aud preserve his life but wont. “The Peabody and Slater Funds Rave: worked wonders in the educa- tion of our people; what greater boon ! could there be now than afand which : would pvoride decent homes which | they could rent at reasonable rates?

The city is com- pelling every one to be vaccinnied, so the old msn left these few minor notes, ‘got on Gabe, his mule, and left, saying he had been vaccinated some years ago and “he'd be dinged if he would have it again unless the authorities canght him before he got to Macon.” We haven’t heard from him since he left and hope some one will catch and return them.

We havé been preaching this doctrine for ten years, but we find this to be the trouble in this expansion bnsi- ness: Those Negroes who would go somewhere have not the meaus to carry them, while those’ that have the wherewithal do not want to go.

Hers was the most beautiful life known in recent times. Ducile and lovable, with always a sinile and a pleasant word; no harsh nor nnkind word ever escaped her lips. Her life was one of Roination! one from which the yonng can profitably copy. Her lovable nature and sun- ny disposition drew ull who kuew her, to her with that luve that is not easily wasted.

She could never do too much , for his comfort and pleasure and was ever on the -alert to do that which would please him the most. In ‘this their feeling was reciprocal.
