A NEGRO NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COLORED PEOPLE OF INDIANA INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1900 The AFRO-AMERICAN EXHIBIT AT THE PARIS EXPOSITION-1900. Data and Statistics, to Say Nothing of Specimens of their Handiwork in all the Arts. PARIS, NOV. 1.—The anti-negro riots in New York City set people over here wondering and talking about the black race in America. All Europeans know there is such a race, but what they don't kno w about it is stupendous. Even the men whose profession it is to keep well informed on most matters are all at sea on the su of the American negro. They have a sort of hazy recollection that we went to war 30 or 40 years ago to abolish slavery, and that before that rime we had black slaves in many of the states, but it is a rare and wise man indeed who has the slightest knowledge of the general statistical difference between the red skins and the blacks as citizens of the great Republic. it is safe to wager that a big proportion of Europeans have the motion that the Indians are in the preponderance on the Western Continent, that the whites are a down trodden race, and that the black men only number a handful. The newspapers the other day had scarcе-head dispatches from America describing the anti negro riots in New York. I was riding downtown in an omnibus the morning when the news first reached Paris. Two well-to-do citizens on the opposite seat were discussing the riot in the high-voiced French fashion. "It will be another case of China over again," said of them, "I suppose the white people have been trying to Christianize the Africans, and have taken to killing those who won't give up their Hoodoo worship. But I am surprised that the redskins don't take a hand in it. They ought to know that if they let the white men have an inch they'll want a yard, and that a few years later the Europeans will try to convert the Indians by the same methods. Mark my word! This is the beginning of a frightful massacre. You will see the redmen turn on the white race and murder them all, just as the Chinese have been doing." "I hope," said the other Frenchman, "that my brother and his wife will get away in time. They have their home some where near New York." "What do you call the place where your brother lives?" asked his companion. "His postoffice address is Lima Peru." INDEFINITE IDEAS OF AMERICA' This is of a piece with the usual European ideas of American geography and general information. It is no wonder, then, that they are very wide of the mark on such aberruse questions as race distinction and statistics. One of the most intelligent and well read Frenchman I have ever known is a journalistic friend of mine here in Paris. He wanted to write an exhaustive article on the black race in America, so he came to me on Saturday morning for some information. "How many negroes are there in the United States?" he asked me. I could speak by the card, and told him so. "A hundred thousand?" he hazarded interrogatively. I smiled. Then he kept adding fifty thousand at a jump by way of questioning. When he reached half a million, and I kept repeating, "Many more," he said "Whew!" When he had doubled the estimate and encountered the same reply he looked at me in a fashion to insinuate I was a liar, but contented himself with remarking that I probably didn't know anything about it. "No." said I, "I can't say that I do, accurately, but I should imagin that the blacks must number about one-tenth of the population." THE BLACK MAN AT THE EXPO As I had no data available, and as my friend expressed his surprise that a race numbering one-tenth of the entire population was not represented by any special classification in the United States display at the exhibition. I agreed to accompany him to the great show on a search for the department devoted to the exhibits of the black race of America. This errand finally landed me in a little corner of one of the big Exhibition builings styled the Palace of Social Economy. In this enormous edifice were ranged exhibits of all the Nations of the civilized world divided by high walls and facades, bearing the names and arms of the different countries. Unlike all the other American sections in the big show this department was in unconspicuous, and in no way obtruded itself upon the notice of the visitor. There was no artful grouping of attractive features about the portal to coax passers-by to enter. Within one simply saw books, maps, pictures, illuminated charts and such serious things as catch the eye of the student, but hold out no temptation to the average stranger looking for amusement in the exhibition, or, at least, hunting the kind of information that is imparted entertainingly. Sitting reading before a bookcase was a brown-skinned man, whose appearance instantly assured me that we had found one of the race about which we were seeking information. "Is this Mr. Galloway?" I asked. It was He was in charge of the exhibit, for the collection of which the United States had made an appropriation of $10,000, and had in various ways facilitated the complication of interesting and instructive facts and figures. AFRO-AMERICAN PRODUCTS. "No," said Mr. Galloway, "with the exception of what is comprised in this one room there is no distinctively generic exhibit of the black race of the United States. Naturally, as an element of the general population, the American colored man may be regarded as participating in the product that reprints in Paris the varied industries of the United States. "As a general thing his share has been in the cultivation of the crude materials. Thus in the Agricultural Department is shown an extensive exhibit that represents in a large measure the production by negroes. The same is manifested in the exhibit of the Southern railway. The cotton, corn and wheat grown in most Southern States are largely the result of his labor. The same is true of the rice fields of South Carolina. "The tobacco-growing of Virginia Kentucky and West Virginia is almost exclusively intrusted to the black, as is also the case with the cultivation of sugar cane in Louisiana and Texas. In Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Georgia and South Carolina, the coal and iron miners are mostly negroes, and they are also employed in the quarries throughout the South" By the last census (1890) there were shown to be 7,470,000 negroes in the United States. It is believed that the census of this year will indicate a colored population of 9,000,000, a little less than one-eight of that of the whole country. The estimate for this year is based on the growth by decades since 1759, when there were 220,000 negroes in America. For the last 30 years the black population has been increasing steadily at the average rate of over 100,000 a year. DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEGRO. The models, pictures, maps, charts, etc., exhibited in Mr. Galloway's section illustrate, in the most lucid, object-less lesson fashion, salient facts about the development of the black race in the United States. On the walls arrhown a collection of agricultural instruments and all sorts of useful industrial appliances made by the pupils of Booker T. Washington's school at Tuskegee Ala., besides drawings, architectural designs, etc., made by scholars in Howard College, in Washington, and the Hampton Institute in Virginia. Photographs on pivoted frames represent scenes from colored life in the old slavery days, and the refined homes of educated negroes of the present day. Others illustrate some of the principal institutions of the United States that are devoted to the education of the colored youth of both sexes. The illuminated charts are complimentary to the general exhibit, but the valuable information they impart invests them with a most exceptional importance. One, for instance shows the growth of the colored race as compared with the white in the last 90 years. Thus, in 1800, the colored inhabitants in Georgia were 37 per cent of the total population. In 1890 they were 46,7 per cent. Another chart shows the proportion of negroes of education to be greater in Georgia, which is taken as a sample State, than in Russia, Roumania, Servia and many other European countries that have been civilized for centuries. Still another rhows that in point of social morality the American negro compares favorably with most white races and that the physical condition of the negro is correspondingly increasing with education; that sobriety is more general among blacks than whites; that prison statistics are not unflattering to the men of darker skin that the negro is not a "segrator" as Prof. L. F. Hoffman declared in his wosk entitled, "Race Traits Tendencies of the Negro," but that inter-State migration is very active among the race; that the proportion of negroes in employment is extraordinarily high, and that the vagrant quota is unusually small; that illiteracy is a rapidly disappearing among the colored population, for while in 1860 only one per cent could read and write in 1890 50 per cent of the colored people are fairly well educated. THE NEGRO IN LITERATURE. In the same department of the exposition is found a library composed of works of negro writers. Among these are two volumes of poems by Paul Lawrence Dunbar, "Lyrics of Lowly Life" and "Poems of Cabin and Fields"; "Wife of His Youth," by Chas. W. Chestnut; Wm. Still's "Underground Railroad." Frances Ellen Harper, "Iola Leroy," W. E. B. Dubois "The Philadelphia Negro" and "The Suppression of the African Slave Trade," which is a work of reference in Harvard and other universities; theological and philosophical works by Bishop Tanner, and "Behind the Scenes," the story of the intimate family life of the Lincolnns. by Elizabeth Keckley, who was employed in the household of the martyred President. An interesting exhibit in the general collection is a list of 350 patents issued to negroes by the United States Government, among which is one that was the 15th patent issued by the Government after the reorganization of the office to H. Blair for a seed planter on Oct. 14, 1834. As Blair was a slave the Patent Office refused to grant him a copyright' but his master carried the case to the Supreme Court, which ordered that the inventor should be given the right in his own name. Elijah McCoy of Detroit is numerously represented on this list by devices for lincrating machinery. This colored citizens clears $15,000 a year by his patents Lewis H. Lattimer of New York, a draughtsman in Edison's office, figures on the list with a number of patents, one of which, in conjunction with Jno. Tregoning of Philadelphia, for a globe supporter. he sold to the Electric Light Trust. PHOTOGRAPHS of statuary by Mita Vaux Warrick of Philadelphia show that this young women will one day achieve the distinction for her race that formerly belonged exclusively to Edmonia Lewis, the distinguished sculptress, so long established in Rome. In another and more conspicuous part of the Exposition—in that splendid temple of art, the Grand Palace—surrounded by masterpieces from all corners of the enlightened universe, there is a single piece of work produced by a black man. It is called "Daniel in the Lyons' Den," and is by H. O. Tanner, a young man from Philadelphia, whose name is now honored and applauded throughout the world of art. The highest critics unite in according it every praise, for its lofty conception, superb coloring, high technique and execution, best judges say, fall litt e short of genius. If the colored race were represented by nothing else than Tanner's work it would be a sufficient revelation to Europeans of the development of his race along artistic and educational lines in the United States.

The total expenditures by the Government on account of the Indian service from March 4, 1789, up to and including July 30, 1900, has been $368, 358,217; according to the annual report of Commissioner of Indian Affairs Wm. A. Jones. Expenditures for the fiscal year ending last July amounted to $10,175,107. Of this amount at least $3,330,000 was devoted to the cause of Indian education. The Indian population of the United States is about 267,900, of which 45,270 receive a daily ration. The ration issued and its value varies according to the tribe. Nearly two-fifths of the number receiving rations belong to the great Sioux naion. The report controverts the common accepted theory that by constant contact with the whites the extinction of the Indian is only a matter of time. It says it can be stated, with a great degree of confidence, that the Indian population of the United States has been very little diminished from the days of Columbus, Kaleigh, Capt. Jno. Smith and other early explorers. The first reliable Indian census was in 1870 and certainly since then the Indian population has been nearly stationary, whatever decrease there is being attributed to Indians becoming citizens Subscribe for The Recorder, one year $1 HUMOR OF THE HOUR. Now, the people of a certain locality were troubled grievously with plantains, which persisted in growing on the lawns in front of their houses. "Why seek to exterminate them?" asked a stranger who passed that way. "Do you not know that it is now good form to cultivate plantains instead of lawn grass? Many of our best people are doing it. When properly trimmed, they look much more luxuriant than grass, and the precise shade of green they present is the height of fashion." So the people quit trying to raise grass on their lawns and devoted themselves to the cultivation of the plantain instead. But such is the perversity of what we call inanimate things that the plantains at once became sickly and feeble, while the unfashionable and undesirable grass began to grow with such extraordinary zeal and persistency that it soon took entire possession, and the people were compelled, with great reluctance, to give up the struggle and abandon their lawns to the grassy enemy with the old fashioned tint—Chicago Tribune.

HOLD THEIR JOBS THE PRESIDENT ASKS CABINET TO REMAIN. He Makes a Speech to His Advisers Requesting Them to Stay During His Second Term. Washington special: President McKinley Tuesday announced clearly and forcefully to the members of his Cabinet his desire that they should all remain with him during the four years of his coming administration. His wishes were made known in an extended speech at the Cabinet meeting in the White House. Responses were made by all of the members present and while there were no definite pledges from any of them that they would accept the portfolios thus tendered afresh there was, on the other hand, no definite declination. The proceedings set forth the wishes of the President in the matter and relieves the members of the Cabinet of the customary obligation of tendering their resignations at the end of the term, unless they have made an irrevocable decision that it will be impossible for them to continue in office. It also sets at rest all speculation and slate making of the country's political prophets, for it is understood generally there is but one doubtful factor in the homogeneity of the present Cabinet. That factor is Attorney-General Griggs, as he holds his present position at a great financial sacrifice. Still Mr. Griggs replied in terms of warm appreciation to the complimentary remarks of the President and voiced no intention of retiring from his present position. The President said that if the result of the recent election was an indorsement of his administration, it was no less an indorsement of the men who had stood by him in the time of stress and adversity. The credit for success, he said, lay with the heads of the various departments, and he should shrink from entering on another four years of office unless he could be assured that he would have with him a majority at least of the men who formed his official household. He said that he knew that in asking them to remain with him there was scarcely one who could do so without some sacrifice, either of money, leisure or personal inclination. At the same time he said he should feel happier if all of them could gratify his wishes. Secretary Hay was the first to respond. He said that for his part he deeply appreciated the complimentary references made by his chief, and that he thought there was not a member of the Cabinet who would sever such pleasant official relations without regret, and even then only in case of the most urgent reasons for retirement. Secretaries Gage, Long, Hitchcock, Wilson, Attorney General Griggs and Postmaster General Smith each spoke in turn and in much the same vein. Secretary Root was the only absent member from the meeting. INSULTS FOR VICTORIA. Caricatures of the Queen of England in French Papers. Paris cable: The illustrated weekly newspaper, the Rire, of which M. Arsene Alexandre, art critic of the Figaro, is pictorial editor, comes out with its entire front page devoted to a disgusting colored caricature of Queen Victoria, represented as a green vampire sucking the blood from the bare head of Kruger, who stands on French soil grasping a broken rifle. In the corner is an insulting design of the German Emperor turning his back on Kruger and smoking a pipe, between whiffs chatting with the King of Italy. In another corner France, wearing a phrygian bonnet, is reclining in the arms of the Emperor of Russia. This ribald picture is signed "Leandre." Caricature, another weekly illustrated paper, also contains a defamatory colored picture of the Queen as a conqueror, signed "Weilus." It is only fair to say that these scurrilous caricatures meet with strong disapproval from the majority of the public. DEATH OF HENRY VILLARD The Distinguished Railway Maguate Closes a Long and Finally Unsuccessful Career. New York special: Henry Villard, railroad magnate, died at his home, Sunday night. He was sick only a week. He had a varied career. He was born in Germany and came to this country carly and engaged in speculation. He became correspondent for German papers and later for the Herald, which he represented in the civil war. In 1879 he started Wall street by booming Western railroad stocks and made in a single year $3,500,000. Later he organized a syndicate to buy Northern Pacific stock. Twenty million dollars was subscribed by George M. Pullman, Charles Worleischoffer and Broker Endicott. In the pancle of 1884 the stock fell and Villard lost all. He went to Germany with $200,000 and remained there two years. He then reorganized the Northern Pacific and again lost his fortune in the pancle of 1880. MR. HARVEY IS SCARED He Predicts Klot and Martial Law in the North and Removes to Arkansas. Little Rock, Ark. special: A special to the Gazette from Rogers, Ark. says; "W. H. Harvey, best known as the author of 'Coin's Financial School,' arrived here from Chicago and gave out the following statement: "In the next decade there will be riots, martial law and much distress and misery in the congested centers of the North with the people hopelessly subjected to an influence that is slowly bringing about their crucifixion. The people of Arkansas are to be congratulated on having no large city and no extremely rich people. For these reasons I have come here to make my home." THE RECORDER, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA CAST UP BY THE SEA AWFUL WRECK ON NOVA SCOTIA COAST. Steamer City of Monticello Broken Up by the Waves—Beach for Ten Miles Strewn With Wreckage. Yarmouth, N. S., special: The shore of this county for ten miles east and west is strewn with the wreckage of the hull and cargo of the steamer City of Monticello, which foundered on Saturday morning and twenty-five bodies of the thirty-two victims of the disaster have been recovered from the sea which is still raging with terrific fury. Many people have assembled at Rockville, near where the first body came ashore and numerous relatives of members of the crew, who nearly all belonged to points on this coast, have arrived to identify the dead. The bodies were arranged in a room in the public hall and Coroner Fuller, who held an inquest, gave an opinion of accidental drowning. All the bodies are terribly battered. The first body was found at daylight, when the zinc life boat, which was supposed by the survivors of the first boat to have been swamped, was discovered on the shore. A few yards distant were the bodies of Mr. Eldridge, a passenger; Second Engineer Poole, Mr. Flipp, a traveler for McGee's Sons, of St John, N. B., and the body of a man. All four had lifebelts around them. At short intervals along the beach eleven more bodies were found, making fifteen discovered. They had all evidently come ashore in the lifeboot and were killed on striking the beach, not one escaping. The four survivors are Captain Smith, a passenger; Third Officer Fleming, Quartermaster Wilson and Stewardess Smith. The three men saved agree that the cause of the disaster was, briefly: "The steamer was pounded for hours by sea and gale, sprang a leak and filled; became unmanageable, broke apart and foundered." It is a coincidence that the ship Peter Stewart was wrecked off this shore a few years ago in the month of July and a boatload of men came in where the Monticello's boat was found. Half of the men were dead before the boat touched the land, and many believe the same was true of those in the Monticello's boat. The fury of the surf is appalling in this region. Wreckage of all kinds litters the shore—boxes, barrels, pieces of ships' boats and parts of the superstructure of the steamer. The sea is not remembered to have been so heavy on this coast for many years. BRYAN SURPRISED A STATEMENT FROM THE DEFEATED CANDIDATE. Cives Reasons For the Result of the Elections and Expresses His Determination to Stay in Politics—Will Not Stand For Senate. Lincoln, Neb., special: William J. Bryan Thursday night, gave out the following statement concerning the election: "The result was a surprise to me, and the magnitude of the Republican victory was a surprise to our opponents as well. It is impossible to analyze the returns until they are more complete. "The Republicans were able to secure tickets or passes for all their voters who were away from home, and this gave them considerable advantage. We have no way of knowing at this time how much money was spent in the purchase of votes and in colonization. "The prosperity argument was probably the most potent one used by the Republicans. They compared present conditions with the panic times of 1883 to 1896 and this argument had weight with those who did not stop to consider the reasons for the change. "The appeal 'stand by the President while the war is on' had a great deal of influence among those who did not realize that a war against a doctrine of self-government in the Philippines must react upon us in this country. "We were defeated, but are not discouraged. The fight must go on. I am sure that Republican policies will be repudiated by the people when the tendency of these policies are fully understood. The contest between plutocracy and Democracy can not end until one or the other is completely triumphant." Concerning himself Mr. Bryan said: "I have come out of the campaign with perfect health and a clear conscience. I did my utmost to bring success. Mr. Stevenson did all he could; Senator Jones and the members of the Democratic Populist, Silver Republican and Anti-Imperialist committees did all they could. Mr. Hearst and his associates put forth their best efforts. Our newspapers, our campaign speeches and our local organizations all did their part. I have no fault to find and no reproaches. I shall continue to take an active interest in politics as long as I live. I believe it to be the duty of citizens to do so, and in addition to my interest as a citizen I feel that it will require a lifetime of work to repay the political friends who have done so much for me. I shall not be a Senatorial candidate before the Legislature which has been elected. Senator Allen deserved the Senatorship which goes to the Populists. Mr. Hitchcock and Mr. W. H. Thompson are avowed candidates for the Senatorship. They both deserve well of the party, and I am too grateful to them for past support to stand in their way, even if I desired a seat in the Senate."

Washington special: The startling statement is made in the report of Admiral Crowninshield, chief of the navigation bureau, that the present personnel of the navy would form barely one-fourth of the total establishment necessary to fight a first class European power. It barely sufficed for the Spanish war, and no longer can be considered, the report says, as an effective nucleus about which a larger establishment could be formed in case of war. The admiral regards this need of the navy for officers and men as most urgent. He says the bureau can point to many cases where the service is being harmed by lack of officers. The naval academy is suffering for want of instructors, and the present high standard of training can not be maintained. Every bureau in the department is short of officers, and the service, the report predicts, soon will fall behind in the struggle, first, for leadership, and then for equality, with the other services. The disability of the sea-going corps of officers has greatly increased since the Spanish war, and many of the best officers are being lost as a result of breaking down from overwork. The admiral severely criticizes the ineffective effort of Congress at the last session to meet immediate needs for officers by authorizing the employment of retired officers, and he demands the immediate repeal of that act. He claims that the retired list, intended as a reward for faithful service, otherwise becomes a hardship and a punishment. The personnel act thus far has resulted in affording less officers than were on the active list before its passage, as, while authorizing an increase, it failed to provide the means thereof, so there are now 131 vacancies in the list of naval officers, when vacancies can be least afforded. Therefore it is recommended for the next ten years that appointments to the naval academy be doubled, the President and Representatives in Congress appointing two instead of one wherever authorized now, and in addition. Senators being given the same privilege of appointment as Representatives. Then, to meet future needs, it is recommended that whenever Congress authorizes an increase of vessels to the navy, it also provide, in the same act, for an increase of officers and men to man the ships. ARMY NEEDS Present Conditions Require Legislation For Reorganization on Larger Scale. Washington special: Senator Proctor, of the Senate committee on military affairs, and Adjutant General Corbin, of the war department, held an informal conference with the President Saturday relative to the legislation to be asked of Congress in connection with the proposed increase of the regular army. "Under the existing law," said Senator Proctor, at the conclusion of the conference. "the present strength of the army-65,000 regulars and 35,000 volunteers—will be reduced on the first day of next July to 27,000 regulars. This is an absurd small number, and Congress will be asked by the President to reorganize the army upon a larger basis. It will be impossible to keep any troops in the Philippines unless the army is increased, to say nothing of the garrisons for the forts in this country. My own judgment is that Congress will provide a regular army of about 55,000 or 60,000 men, with discretion to the President to raise the total to 100,000 if he finds the larger number necessary. I have no doubt that this legislation will be enacted at the coming session." PHILIPPOLIS RETAKEN Two Prominent Boer Officers Killed Near Belfast. Pretoria cable: The British have reoccupied Philippolis after four hours' fighting. Gen. French will take command of the Johannesburg district. The condition of Miss Roberts, daughter of Lord Roberts, is more serious. Among the Boers who were killed in the recent fighting near Belfast were Gen. Foule and Commandant Prinssee. Gen. Baden-Powell has contracted enteric fever, but his condition is not serious. POWERS AGREE. POWERS AGREE. PARTIAL SETTLEMENT OF THE CHINESE QUESTION. An Inspired Statement Published at Berlin of the Result of a "Pourparlers" Between the Diplomats. Berlin cable: Following is the full text of the statement, evidently inspired, in the Cologne Gazette of Saturday as to the understanding reached by the representatives of the powers in Pekin regarding the Chinese settlement: "Pourparlers between the envoys in Pekin for the purpose of agreeing on the fundamentals for peace negotiations witt, the Chinese plenipotentiaries proceed favorably in the whole series of important points. "An agreement has been reached between the powers particularly regarding the punishment of the main culprits, the mandarins and princes; also regarding the witnessing of the execution of such punishments by representatives of the powers; also regarding the principle of paying damages to the several governments for the cost of the China expeditions and for damages suffered by private persons and missions; also regarding the permanent stationing of sufficient guards for the Pekin legations; also regarding the razing of the Taku forts, and finally regarding the maintenance of secure and regular communication between Pekin and the seashore. About a number of other demands put forth by separate powers negotiations are still pending." Washington specialist: If, as reported in the Cologne Gazette, the powers have reached a definite understanding in regard to China, its terms, as stated by that newspaper, omit several features which have been a source of discussion among them. Probably the most important of these is the proposition to abolish the cumbersome office of the Tsung Li Yamen, or Board of Foreign Affairs, and place the duties of that body under the supervision of one person, who shall be directly responsible for the management of its affairs. This change has been urgently desired by our government, and is believed to find a hearty second among all the powers. London, cable: Dr. Morrison, wiring to the Times from Pekin Saturday, says: "Li Hung Chang has not yet repet, to Admiral Alexief's invitation to resume the government of Manchuria under Russian protection. Russia will require the names of all officials to be submitted to her for approval. Her proposals are tantamount to military occupation, and every Chinese realizes that Manchuria is lost to China. Increasing alarm is felt here at the spread of the insurrection in the southern provinces. No surprise will be caused if Japan intervenes. The trade and financial outlook is very gloomy." "All the Russian troops here," says a dispatch to the Times from Tien-Tsin, dated Nov. 9, "are being withdrawn." Vancouver, B. C., special: News was received by the steamship Victoria concerning the rebellion in South China. The Triads have broken out in Kwang Si, and Marshal Su, commander in chief of the imperial forces, is asking for 30,000 men to suppress them. The British have dispatched infantry and artillery to guard the Kow Loon frontier. When the torpedo boat destroyer Handy was landing men she encountered a force of rebels and threw shells among them as they advanced on San Chuan, routing them and killing forty. A strong force of Kwang Si rebels marching to join the Kwan Sing rebels met and defeated the imperial troops near Kuang Ning and captured thirty. Great preparations for the building, mine laying and drilling of troops were going on in the affected provinces. A battle was fought at Tsan-Tsou on the Shang Tung Chio Li border, Oct. 17, between imperial troops and Boxers. General Yuan's troops numbered 8,000 and the Boxers 12,000. Two thousand men were left to guard the Tsang Chou and General Mel, in charge of the imperial troops, gave battle outside. The battle lasted all day and resulted in the defeat of the Boxers with great loss. Their leader, Chen, refused to retreat, and when the fight was lost fought with 900 desperadoes in a ravine until all were killed. His head was taken and hung on the walls of the city. Six thousand rebels were killed. Consul Goodnow, of Shanghai, has made a summary of Boxer outrages, showing that ninety-three American and British missionaries were murdered and 170 other missionaries in Shan Si and Chi Li are missing. Pekin cable: A profound impression was produced upon the natives at Pao Ting Fu by the execution there of the three officials—Tien Yung, provincial treasurer, General Wei Shung Kong and Colonel Klu—who were condemned by the international court martial as among those responsible for the massacres there. They were beheaded and their heads were exposed on poles for a day before burial. It is probable, despite discrepancies, that the foregoing officials are identical with those referred to in a dispatch to the Associated Press from Tien-Tsien, dated Nov. 6, which said: "Ting Yung, acting Viceroy of Chi Ll, the Tartar General Qwei Heng and Colonel Wang Chau Me were shot at Pao Ting Fu by order of the court martial." "COMBINE" OF YARN MILLS. Southern Factories Will Try to Control Sale of Their Products. Charlotte, N. C., special: The great majority of the yarn mills of the South have entered into the plan of controlling the sale of their products by specially appointed agents. Mills representing an aggregate of 497.450 producing spindles have signified their agreement to the now well known concentration plan proposed by the special committee and indorsed by the board of governors of the Southern Cotton Spinners' Association. The object of the plan is that the selling of Southern cotton yarns be placed in the hands of a limited number of Northern commission merchants—eight or ten—with a view to the reduction of selling costs and the prevention of speculation in the product of Southern merchants. The fact that mill men representing so great a number of spindles have agreed practically insures the success of the plans of the Southern Cotton Spinners' Association. John Bull Beginning to Realize That Sub- jugating Foreigners is Expensive-- Yankee Gold Not Wanted. London cable; Sir Michael Hickle-Beach, Chancellor of the Exchequer, speaking Tuesday evening in Bristol, said it would not be his privilege in the next budget to relieve the taxpayers. He wished he could say that he was not about to increase the budget, but the government's expenditures had been enormous, especially in China and South Africa. He declared emphatically, however, that the wealth of the Transvaal would have to bear part of the South African expenses. The early calling of Parliament with the object of securing for the government further borrowing powers, to meet the expenses of the South African and Chinese situations has caused much comment in the money market. It is understood the government has already borrowed £200,000 from the Bank of England and further operations of this kind would be imprudent and would disorganize the money market. It is quite impossible to foretell what amount the Chancellor of the Exchequer will find it necessary to borrow. The general idea is that the figure will be somewhere between £250,000 and £500,000. A strong feeling is expressed against placing any portion of the loan in the United States. It is argued that when the Americans want gold they have only to send bonds to England, thus depleting the gold reserves; and it is contended that there is ample British capital seeking investment to meet all the requirements of the government. The suggestion in the market to-day was that an issue might be made of a Transvaal loan for £20,000,000 or £30,000,000 with interest guaranteed by the British government. GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATION. Indiana's Chief Executive Designates Thursday, Nov. 29, as Thanksgiving Day. Governor Mount issued the annual thanksgiving proclamation Monday. It sets apart Thursday, Nov. 29, as the day for giving thanks and urges contributions to the poor. It says in part: "We cannot recount all the evidences of divine favor; they are more than can be numbered. Abounding plenty cheers the homes and gladdens the hearts of our people. Employment invites to activity all who seek work. The rewards of industry make it possible for all to enjoy God's bountieous blessings. Inventive genius has added to the store of human comfort. Immunity from pestilence and disease, with freedom from discord and strike, are conditions calling for the expression of gratitude from our hearts. The spirit of conciliation and interdependence has led to laws for the adjustment of differences through peaceful arbitration, hence the peace and prosperity of our State has not been menaced by danger to life or property. "Let the day be appropriately observed in grateful acknowledgment to the Father of all our mercies for His loving kindness to us." DEATH OF THE "COPPER KING." The Famous Marcus Daly Succumbs to Bright's Disease at New York. New York special: Marcus Daly, the copper king, died Monday. He had been ill for many weeks at the Netherlands Hotel of Bright's disease. Several times recently the end seemed near, but he showed wonderful vitality and rallied, Mr. Daly's family, consisting of wife, son and three daughters, were at his bedside, Marcus Daly was born in New York city, of Irish parents. He went to Montana from Utah in 1880, representing J. B. Haggag, Lloyd Tevis and the late Senator Hearst, of California. He had only a working interest in this powerful combination, and little or no capital of his own. He took hold of the Anaconda copper properties, and developed them until his interests alone amounted to $20,000,000 in twenty years. He recently withdrew from active management. Although he had retired from business, he remained prominent in politics, and achieved notoriety, last year, from his active opposition to W. A. Clark, another millionaire, who was elected to the United States Senate from Montana, but was deprived of his seat because of charges that his election was secured by bribery. KILLED HER HUSBAND. Woman Says She Was Driven to Desperation by His Acts. Chicago special: May Theresa Josephine Schmitt shot and almost instantly killed her husband, Peter, late Sunday night, at their home, 1228 North Marsinfield avenue. After the shooting, which occurred in the parlor of the house, Schmitt staggered out through the front door and fell dead in the yard. Mrs. Schmitt made no attempt to escape. She admitted the shooting, but declared her husband had driven her to desperation by his acts. For some time, the woman declares, she had been neglected by her husband, who was drinking heavily and paying attention to other women. When he entered his home, his wife declares, he was intoxicated and she upbraided him for his acts. A quarrel and the shooting followed. WHEAT. No. 2 red CORN. No. 1 white OATS.

STEWART, Publisher SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1900 EDITORIAL Within the past week the race has been highly honored in having Booker T. Washington as guest at two distinguished gatherings in New York City. The first of these was the day that General O. O. Howard, U. S. A., retired, was seventy years of age. Many men of note in civil and military life were present, including Senator Depew, Thomas B. Reed, General Dodge and Capt. Mahan, of the navy. Another colored man who was a guest is Bishop Gaines, of Georgia. Saturday night Mr. Washington was a guest at the Lotos Club banquet, one of the oldest and most select clubs in New York. While the honors enjoyed belong distinctly to Mr. Washington, his success means the elevation and advancement of the entire race. We have received a lengthy communication from a former citizen of Indiana, but now residing in Nebraska, in which the writer is Jubilant over the Republican success in Bryan's own State. He claims a greater victory for Nebraska than for Indiana, which is but just and fair. Apropos to his political reference the writer strikes a keynote when he urges that colored men can find better employment and better wages in the West than in the cities. He has steady employment at railroading at a salary of $45 per month. The trial of the six soldiers of the Twenty-five Infantry, accused of raiding the police station and killing a police officer at El Paso, Tex., is now in progress at place. The incident attracted widespread attention at the time and the courage of the colored soldiers was gratifying to Northern communities. It is to be hoped that justice will be given the accused, according to the evidence, and that their color will not be considered a barrier to their interests and liberty, The first thing congress does this winter should be to readjust the representation of the South, both in Congress and in the Electoral College, in accordance with decency and justice The party has a clear majority both in this congress and in the next and there can be no excuse for further delay. In the prosecution of Mr. William Milles, the proprietor of the Grand Hotel barbershop, charged with bribing voters on election day, why can't the authorities find the real guilty person? Trial and conviction of the accused would be but little short of a persecution. Bryan's defeat removes the last hope of the Filipino rebels to bring about the carnival of loot, torch and sword for which they have been striving. Now, it is to be hoped that things over there will soon quiet down. Under the new Census apportionment, if made on the old plan, the South will have some 45 votes based on the suppressed negro vote. If these are taken away by Congress, the solid south will have only about 85 votes left instead of 120, as it has had for ten years. Thus its importance in future elections will be greatly reduced. The complete returns show that Bryan ran about a million votes behind his ticket in the various States. He is still a young man though. His First Dress Suit. He was a very youthful looking man and he wore a natty opera hat and a lengthy coat, which caused him to be the cynosure of the street in a North Thirtieth street, trolley car. It was probably the first time he had ever worn a dress suit, and as he walked into the car his embarrassment was painfully noticeable. Many smiles flitted over the passengers' faces, and the young fellow noticed each one and blushed deeply. But more trouble was in store. At Jefferson street two red-headed Irish servant girls boarded the car. They crowded in a seat and begun to talk volubly. "Yis," said one, "th' mistress wint to a widdin' and she— She paused here, as her wandering gaze rested on the conspicuous young man in the corner. "Say, Ellen," she spoke loudly, and with a giggle, "how would you like that for a feller?" The young man left the car hurriedly, before it had reached the street where he wished to alight.—Philadelphia Call. A Lesson in Punctuation A high school girl said to her father the other night; "Daddy, I've got a sentence here I'd like to have you punctuate. You know something about punctuation, don't you?" "A little," said her cautious parent, as he took the slip of paper she handed him. This was what he read: "A five-dollar bill flew around the corner" He studied it carefully. "Well," he finally said. "I'd simply put a period after it like this." but a person after it like this: "I wouldn't," said the high school girl, "I'd make a dash after it"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Yielded to the Tempter. "Twenty years ago," said the man in the tweed suit, "I knew that gentleman who alighted at the last station. He was a man of rare promise, a graduate of college, of brilliant intellect, and shrewd mercantile ability. Life dawned before him in all the glowing colors of fair promise. He inherited money and invested it in a business which prospered. He married a beautiful girl who bore him three charming children. But in an evil hour the young man yielded to the temper. He began to drink beer. He liked it, continued drinking it, and encouraged others to drink. That was only ten years ago, and he was a prosperous, wealthy man. To-day, what is he?" He paused, when a clergyman in the carriage, who had listened attentively, said, sadly: "A sot, perhaps a begar?" "Quite wrong, sir," replied the man in the tweeds. "He is a Member of Parliament, and partner in a brewery, worth half a million of money."—Ally Sloper. L. A. CATT & CO., 321 W. Washington Street. WHOLESALE & RETAIL FLOUR & FEED. Galt Old Phone 1286.

"Prospects in the American trade generally are not encouraging, for the exports of cotton goods are likely to fall away, America having got machinery by which they can produce special effects themselves." Such is the dismal forecast of the Bradford correspondent of the "Financial Times" of London. For the year 1890 cotton goods formed the principal part of Bradford's trade with the United States. The gross value amounting to nearly $3,000,000, but the export of woolen goods fell off from about $2,200,000 in 1898 to only about $6,000 in 1890. Five years ago Bradford sent us in one year over $8,000,000 worth of worsted coatings, while the amount for last year was a little over $300,000. The Tariff is to blame for it. Through its operations the demand for domestic fabrics has increased, and the trade losses lamented by Bradford and other European woolen centers are represented by the immense gain for American labor and material through the purchase and use of cloths made in our own country. Now it appears that by reason of the Tariff on fine cotton American mills are being equipped with machinery that will turn out these goods so successfully as to seriously diminish the amounts heretofore purchased abroad. It would seem that there is no end to the ravages wrought by the Tariff in that portion of our foreign trade which is included in the imports. Not so the exports. They keep right on growing year by year. The Tariff is a two-eided sword which cuts both ways for our prosperity. Another Orphan Child. From a financial journal of high standing we learn that the capital stock of a projected woolen combination will be $90,000,000, and that the scheme contemplates the consolidation of all the worsted spinning firms in the country. At a recent meeting to consider the plans of the promoters representatives of 104 firms were present. It was explained to those present that the basis of capitalization is that the good will is to be calculated at seven and one-half times the profits above five per cent. Where did this meeting occur, and in what country is it proposed to form a combination of woolen manufacturers with a capital stock of $00,000,000? "In the United States, of course, the country where, as we are told by Mr. Havemeyer, the customs Tariff is the mother of trusts." Not at all. You are more than three thousand miles out of the way. The leading financial journal which imparts the information referred to is the London "Statist," and the parties interested in the formation of this glorious trust are the worsted spinners of the West Riding of Yorkshire. It will hardly be contended that the customs Tariff is the mother of this trust, for England, the home of a very large number of capitalistic combines, is a Free Trade country. Work Instead of Mischief. A recent dispatch from Louisville, Ky., reports that the jeans clothing business in that section is booming. Shipments last month showed a gain of 25 per cent. over those for January, 1899, and manufacturers have more orders for spring shipments than they ever had before. There are eight or ten jeans mills in the vicinity of Louisville, and all are sharing in the general prosperity. There is very little doubt that the present trouble in Kentucky would have taken on a very much uglier aspect if there had been as many idle, discontented men hanging about to swell the mob on the one side or the other, as there would have been when Democracy had closed our factories, put business at a standstill and thrown men out of work. Men with work to do haven't time to hang around looking for trouble, and our policy sees to it that men have work to do—all they want of it. It sees to it in Kentucky as well as in the rest of the country. The result is peace and quiet instead of discontent and mob violence. Where Charity Begins Charity ought to begin at home if it begins anywhere. But it is a long sight better not to have any call for charity to begin at all. The better way is for every one to have plenty of work at good wages, and so be able to pay for everything needed. This is the way it has been with the American people ever since the enactment of the Dingley law started up the fires in the factories of the country and gave to every man who wants it a chance to work. There has been very little need for charity. The old charity doling days and free soup houses have gone. The doctrine of Republicanism is not to begin at home, or anywhere, with charity, but to begin at home with the providing of work for those who want it, to see to it that the American people are not robbed of their chance to work, and that the American market is not given over to the products of foreign labor, but is made secure as the market for American products. In this way there is an end put to all need for the bestowal of charity on any one who is able and willing to work.

The latest story of the intelligence of pet cats comes from London. Mme. Portier, who owns the champion Blue Boy, tells an incident which happened recently and which, if true, undoubtedly places her pet cat in the front rank for intelligence.

We felt much anxiety about her, especially as she was her her, and had great fear for her. Learning of her illness being done by Dr. Greene's Neurosurgery later, I felt it to her she was advanced to improve under its use, and rapidly gained in every respect. She cats and sleeps well to nerves are strong. The medicine has done wonders for her and it is the best we ever knew. Mrs. J. Learmonth, of 776 Broadway, South Boston, Mass., says: At ten years of age my daughter became affected with a nervous condition which soon developed into St. Vitus' dance. It was pronounced by the attending physician to be a very severe condition, the mouth would be drawn spasmodically far to one side, the hands and arms were restless and cold, and the throat was swollen. She was almost impossible to walk. She was so nervous that she would scream almost like a maniac and have fits of crying. After two months' treatment without a cure, I concluded to try Dr. Greene's blood and nerve remedy. Three bottles entirely cure her. She is now thirteen years old. To Mothers of Large Families.

In drilling for oil sometimes a big pool of the fluid is struck, but if gas is found in any quantity the oil will not flow if the gas is not allowed to escape from the well. Before the gas waste law was passed millions of feet of gas were wasted per diem in the Indiana oil field. The result was that the oil wells where gas existed became almost worthless. A fortune awaited the man who could invent an apparatus that would successfully separate the oil from the gas in the bottom of the hole and allow the fluid to flow in. This, oil men say, can never be done, but they have struck upon another plan which seems to be working satisfactorily. The gas is used to propel the engines which heretofore have been run by steam. In this manner as much gas as possible is really wasted, yet apparently it is not a violation of the law. Riot at Caseyville. Brazi special: A serious not occurred at Caseyville, north of here, about midnight. Monday, which resulted in the death of Wallace Graves and the serious injury of William Huston and seven others, most of whom were Italians or Austrians, whose names could not be learned. The quarrel leading to the battle was over politics, and was precipitated in John Bandor's saloon. As the crowd, numbering probably fifty men, made their way out to the street to prepare for battle some one in the crowd armed with a shotgun fired both barrels in Wallace Graves's body, almost instantly killing him. This was the signal for a fusillade, as every man present appeared to have a revolver. Fully 200 shots are said to have been fired. A Shocking Tragedy Greenwood special: Murder was committed five miles southeast of here late Friday afternoon. William Pherson killed Milton Knapp, and the murderer made a full confession. Knapp and Pherson had been lifelong friends, living in the same neighborhood. A year or so ago Knapp retired from farm life and moved to Whitland. Some time after that an anonymous letter was written to Pherson that Knapp was too intimate with one of Pherson's daughters. Friends of both men told Pherson the letter was written to cause trouble and that there was no truth in it. Nevertheless, Pherson distrusted his former friend. Knapp went out to his farm, where his son lives, to look after some work. It was his custom to visit the place frequently, sometimes remaining over night and at other times returning home, so he was missed at neither place. Pherson's farm joins Knapp's. Friday afternoon, when Knapp was at his place, Pherson saw him crawling along the fence. Knapp's little grandson was near by and Pherson sent him to the house. He then picked up a club and attacked Knapp, who drew his knife and defended himself as best he could. He succeeded in drawing blood on Pherson's hand. Pherson beat him to death with the club and left him lying in the fence corner in the hog lot. When discovered the hogs had eaten his head, arms and legs off. His head was found in the hog trough later. Pherson came to Greenwood and made a confession to his daughter, Mrs. Chas, League, and then went to Southport. Later he came back to Greenwood on the electric line and got off at Broadway and started to the home of his son, John Pherson. He was arrested by the marshal and taken to the prosecuting attorney's office, where he made a confession as outlined above. He was taken to the jail at Franklin. Innocent Bystander Shot Shelbyville special: During a quarrel over the election at Fairland Wednesday Marshal Palmer shot at Philip Thomas, the bullet striking George Wells, a bystander, and fatally wounding him. Palmer accused Thomas of selling his vote and Thomas promptly knocked him down. While prostrate Palmer drew a revolver and fired at Thomas. The bullet went wide of the mark, striking Wells, who had no part in the quarrel, in the breast. The wounded man was taken to his home and it is believed he will die. Calver Cadets Dismissed. Culver special: One hundred and five cadets of Culver Military Academy were dismissed Saturday for combining to show disapproval of official action. In defense of the regulation forbidding absence from barracks at night, they went in a body to the train Halloween evening, to escort two cadets who had been dismissed. One hundred and fifteen cadets declined to join the demonstration and remained in their quarters. The others left the grounds so quietly that their absence was not discovered until 7 o'clock, when the officer in charge commenced his inspection of the barracks. The commandant of cadets rode immediately to the depot and after some disposition to defy authority on the part of a portion of the cadets had been quieted, formed the cadets in line and marched them back to barracks. Before sending them to their quarters the commandant spoke to them of the serious aspect of their defiance of authority, commenting on the fact that it was the first time in the history of the academy that such a thing had occurred. All day these cadets were kept under military arrest, but those not concerned in the affair attended duties as usual. The cadets, as a body, fine looking fellows, not one under the army height of five feet, four inches, and the finest battalion the academy has had was sacrifice to discipline. The announcement was made to the cadets by Col. A. F. Fleet in chapel. His remarks were to the effect that the most important lesson that young men could learn was absolute subordination to the constituted authorities and an aberrance of lawlessness, and that the academy could not sacrifice its power to teach this lesson if half, or even all, its cadets had to be dismissed; that it was with this intention that Mr. Culver founded this institution, and that it would be better that these barracks be given up to the owls and bats than that they should be filled with young men whose conduct would defeat that intention. Drowned in the Ohio. Kokomo special: Word came here Wednesday night that a body had been found in the Ohio river near Cincinnati with marks showing that the floater may be Charles E. Golay, of Kokomo, Golay, who was an insurance agent in poor health and despondent, left here two weeks ago owing a few small bills and his wheeveabouts are unknown. Acquaintances here think the body that of Golay without doubt. He was formerly wealthy and influential and a director in the Ohio railroad. His wife and daughter are at Indianapolis. A Negro Riot Shoals special: Wednesday was pay day at the negro camp at Loogootoe, where a change is being made in the line of the B. & O. S. W. road. The negroes, after receiving their pay, drank heavily, and soon were in a general fight. After the battle it was found one negro was killed and several wounded. One is arrested. Burned to Death Mrs. Charles S. Bronson, wife of the superintendent of the cross-cut department at E. C. Atkins & Co.'s saw works, was fatally burned Wednesday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock at her home, 63 Middle drive, Woodruff Place. She was alone in the house at the time of the accident, and the full details can not be ascertained. Her body was found lying near the sink in the kitchen and a short distance away was a pot of burning oil. She had been boiling the oil to be applied to the floors of the Woodruff Place Baptist Church, and it is supposed it caught fire. She attempted to carry it across the kitchen to the sink and inhaled the flames, causing instant death.—Incianapolis Sentinel. Stabbing Affray at Alexandria Alexandria special: James Andrews was fatally stabbed. Monday night, by William Disbennet, a notorious character, in a saloon fight. Disbennet was run down and arrested by a crowd of citizens at the points of revolvers. Mob vengeance is threatened if Disbennet does not get his dues in the court. Killed by Eating Coffee Marlon special: Mrs. Anthony Daggett, of this city, died Tuesday from eating roasted coffee. She commenced about two years ago to eat a few grains everytime she went to the kitchen cabinet, in which the coffee was kept. The habit grew on her until she was eating a cupful of the berries every day. She stated before she died that she knew the coffee was killing her, but her appetite was so ravenous that she could not resist it. She died in great agony. A Singular Funeral. Noblesville special: John B. Miller, a citizen of Sheridan, died, Saturday. The funeral took place Sunday, and, according to his wish, it was made a time of rejoicing instead of mourning. All the carriages in the city were engaged to take those who desired to go. The funeral, which was the largest ever seen in Sheridan, was headed by a pro-Christian band. Hoosier Suicides at Denver Denver, Colo., special: After valyly seeking work for the past two weeks James Haney, of Indiana, forty-five years old, swallowed two ounces of laudanum and was found dead in bed in a lodging house at 1527 Sixteenth street. He paid his last quarter for a room. Haney came here from Salem, ind., Oct. 22, ill with consumption. He had a letter of recommendation from Contractor John Mahoney, whose foreman he had been for several years. Street Duel at Alexandria. Alexandria special: An attempt was made Tuesday to take the life of Dan Gullion, colored, by an unknown negro, Gullion and the unknown negro had been quarrelring earlier in the evening. It is said Gullion stabbed the other man in the hand. They met on Harris in street, when the unknown opened fire without warning, firing four shots, one shot cutting the skin on his knee. The man who did the shooting made good his escape. Cutting Third Set of Teeth. Rising Sun special: Mrs. Elizabeth H. Conaway, aged seventy-two years, of this city, is now cutting her third set of teeth. Two lower and three upper ones have appeared and indications of more are apparent. Her second teeth were drawn over ten years ago, but she never wore false ones at all. Her gray hair is growing a dark hue and very glossy. Killed His Brother by Accident Fort Wayne special: Eugene Bonjour, a farmer boy, aged twenty, accidentally killed his brother, Frederick, twenty-four years old, Saturday. The two young men arose from bed, when the younger pickled up a gun, pointed it at his brother's head and pulled the trigger. The gun had been loaded with buckshot *s* short time previously and the charge killed the young man instantly. FOR MALARIA, CHILLS AND FEVER. The Best Prescription Is Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic. The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle. So That the People May Know Just What They Are Taking.

Any reliable druggist will tell you that Grove's is the Original and that all other so-called "Tasteless" chill tonics are imitations.
