FIRST DAY AT KANSAS CITY Published by The TREBUNE PUBLISHING CO VOL. XV. FIRST DAY AT Democrats Assemble National AN OVATION TO D. B. HILL The Platform Committee, After All Night Session, Declares For "16 to 1" By a Vote of 27 to 25. The national Democratic convention was called to order at Kansas City at noon Wednesday by Chairman Jones. It was an inspiring scene that the chairman looked out upon when, with a rap with his gavel he stilled the tumult and declared the convention open. About him were fully 25,000 people rising tier on tier like the spectators in some vast coliseum, while on either side stretched away the rows accommodating representatives of the press from every section of the country. The Rev. Dr. S. M. Neel, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church, Kansas City, offered prayer. The Democratic mayor of Kansas City, James A. Reed, welcomed the delegates to the city. A yell of applause greeted his announcement that the convention was gathered upon Democratic soil and as the guests of a Democratic constituency that had always been in the forefront in the political fights of the country. The delegates and spectators had listened with rapt attention to the address, but heartily applauded the closing sentences. Senator Hill entered just at this moment, and the applause turned to him. "Hill, of New York;" "Hill, Hill!" they shouted. "Let's hear Hill," with a few hisses interspersed was all that could be heard, until the chairman finally rapped the hall to order. A few minutes later they renewed the call, but the audience was impatient to get on with the proceedings and showed their disapproval with hisses. When finally the chairman was able to make his voice heard he introduced Governor Thomas, of Colorado, the temporary chairman. A round of applause greeted Governor Thomas as he ascended the platform and began his speech. The delegates fretted during the deliverance of the speeches and sought more exciting themes. The second dramatic episode of the day occurred after Campau, of Michigan, had secured the adoption of a resolution for the reading of the declaration of independence. As the reading was about to begin two attendants pushed up to the platform bearing a pedestal and bust, both draped in stars and stripes. As the orator raised his voice for the first words of the immortal instrument, the draperies were thrown back diclosing a splendid head of Bryan. The effect was electrical upon the vast assemblage, which up to the moment had neither heard name nor seen the face of their leades. At 2:31 p. m. the convention adjourned until 4 p. m. At 4 o'clock, however, the committee was not yet ready to report and another adjournment was taken until 8:30 p. m. It remained for the night session to bring the most remarkable demonstration of the entire day. For the first hour the proceedings were formal and profitless, but when, at the close of the speech of Permaunt Chairman Richardson, he paid a glowing tribute to William J. Bryan, pandemonium broke loose and the historic scene of Bryan's nomination at Chicago was repeated, even exceeded, in a frenzied demonstration lasting half an hour. The state standards were wrenched from their sockets and borne aloft, a battle of supremacy was waged between the standard bearers, urged on by the deafening applause of the entire shouting, gasticulating multitude. Outside of the formal proceedings of the day, interest had centered in the action of the platform room. As the evening advanced it became known that a determined struggle was in progress, involving not only the question of incorporating a specific 16 to 1 declaration in the party declarations, but to some extent involving the desires of the prospective nominee as to the terms of the platform. While awaiting the committee's report by Governor Altigeld, of Illinois, entertained the convention with a speech. He unwittingly touched off a mind by using the expression in discussing the attitude of certain Democrats toward the silver question, "now, my friend Hill." That was as far as he went for several minutes. The name Hill again started the uproar that had marked the first session of the convention. From all sides of the hall, and particularly from the southern delegates, came lord cries of "Hill," "Hill." Mingled with calls for the New Yorker came hisses in plenty, and, despite the vigorous use of the gavel, all semblance of order was lost and nothing could be heard save the calls of "Hill" and the disapproving hisses. The band in the gallery struck up a lively air, but as soon as it subsided the uproar was as great as ever, the California delegation being prominent in calling for Hill. It was not possible for Governor Altgeld to continue immediately. As the committee on rules declared itself ready to report, Governor Altgeld discontinued his address and left the platform. The report of the committee on rules was read and adopted. The report of the committee on permanent organization brought on applause. When it was announced that Hon. J. D. Richardson, of Tennessee, had been selected as permanent chairman, cheers swept over the great audience. Chairman Thomas, after announcing the adoption of the report, without debate appointed a committee consisting of Former Governor McCreary, of Kentucky; Daniel Campau, of Michigan, and Mayor Phclan; of San Francisco, to escort the permanent chairman to the platform. Mr. Richardson repeatedly bowed his acknowledgments of the cheers that swept in wave after wave through the hall. The first token of approval given to his address was that which greeted his first mention of 16 to I. The applause however, was rather feeble and scattering. Much more energetic was the shout that followed the declaration that the coming campaign was to be a trial of the republic against the empire. Twenty minutes after Chairman Richardson, had mentioned the name of Bryan, which, like the wave of a magician, had conjured up a scene that has seldom been witnessed in a convention, he began to rap for order; but the delegates were not yet ready to yield the floor, even to the chairman of the convention. The band in the gallery started a pariolic air, and despite the continuous efforts of Chairman Richardson to restore order, the demonstration continued for half an hour. Order was finally sufficiently restored to enable the chairman to recognize Delegate J. G. Johnson, of Kansas, who made a motion that the convention adjourn'un until 10:30 o'clock a. m. Thursday. At 10:34 the chairman declared the convention adjourned. COMMITTEE SETTLES SILVER ISSUE. COMMITTEE BETTLE'S SILVER ISSUE. The platform committee, after being in session all night, decided at 3:10 o'clock Thursday morning, for an explicit declaration for silver coinage at 16 to 1. The vote stood 27 to 25. OREGON SAFELY FLOATED. The Trouble Now Is to Find a Dock Large Enough to Receive Gigantic Battleship. The United States battleship Oregon, which ran on a rock off the Chinese coast on June 28th, has been floated. Secretary Long Tuesday morning received the following cable message from Lieutenant Key, naval attach at the United States legation at Tokio, Japan, in regard to docking the Oregon: "Toxio, July 3.—Secretary of Navy, Washington: Port Arthur too narrow. If Oregon cannot dock at Nagasaki, Japanese navy department tenders use of Kuro or Yokoksuka docks. Offer any assistance desired. Has ordered Aktiushima from Chu Foo to the Oregon. Have cabled Wilde offer of docks. Kex." The naval officials are disappointed at the statement that the Oregon cannot be docked at Port Arthur, as that place is only about sixty miles distant from where she struck. Nagasaki is 600 miles, and can be reached only by the Oregon venturing far outside of smooth waters. If the docks there are too small, then she must push on to the Yokoksna docks. These are located just below Yokohama, Japan, in the harbor. MANY BODIES RECOVERED. Death List of the Great Fire at Hoboken, N. J., Still Grows. A New York special says: Up to 11 o'clock Wednesday night 128 bodies had been recovered from the waters of the North river, victims of the disast to the North German Lloyd Steam- ship line and docks. There are 'yet over 125 people missing. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY..JULY 7. 1900. ALL EYES ON CHINA Chinese Government Is Unable or Unwilling to Put-Down Revolt. VON KETTLELER HACKED TO PIECES. Killing of German Embassador Was Horrible Butchery In the Streets of Pekin. Legation Servants Burned. A Washington special say: Complications in China, the possibility of an extra session of congress and the probable recall of President McKinley to Washington from Canton, overshadows the Kansas City convention and dwarfs the Republican campaign. A member of the cabinet, who is familiar with all the details of the Chinese question, so far as official developments are concerned, in commenting upon Admiral Kempff's latest official dispatch from Che. Foo, says the point had not been reached to justify the United States in making a formal declaration of war against the Chinese government. "It is evident from the information we have received," he went on to say, "that China is in a state of revolt, and the government of the empire is unable to put down the uprising prevailing in Pekin and vicinity. We have received many conflicting reports and thus far we have no direct evidence that the Chinese government is responsible for the depredations already committed on foreigners." "To what extent must the Chinese go before our government will be warranted in formally declaring war?" I asked. "That depends entirely upon circumstances," replied the cabinet officer. "There are many questions to be considered before taking such a step. First, we must be assured that the Chinese government has violated the laws of intercourse supposed to exist between friendly powers. Then, we must be certain that the government is a participant in the depredations against representatives and citizens of the United States, or indirectly sympathizing and encouraging the violators of international agreements. "In addition, we must consider whether it will be to our advantage to go to war with China or whether we can protect the rights of our citizens without going to that extreme." KETTELER HACKED TO PIECES. Official dispatches received by the consular body at Shanghai confirm in the f腥 meet manner the report of the butchery of Baron Van Ketteler, the German minister, on June 18th. The ambassador was riding on Legation street when he was attacked by Chinese troops and boxers, dragged from his horse and killed. His body was hacked to pieces with swords. The German legation and six other buildings were burned and a number of servants of the legation were killed and their bodies thrown into the flames. Official confirmation of this glutly business has created the utmost consternation among the consuls general of the powers who express fears that a war l'outrance will be declared against the Pekin government. The consuls entertain little hope that any foreigners are left alive in the capital. There were 100 foreigners connected with the legations, fifty in the custom house. English and American tourists and others to the number of 150, and nearly 500 legation guards. WORST STORIES CONFIRMED. Bad news was received in Washington Monday morning from Admiral Kempf, concerning the worst stories which have emaunted from China relative to the conditions at Pekin and a feeling of disquiet was noticeable among administration officials and diplomats. The German embassy showed particular anxiety for information respecting the sad end of Baron von Ketteler, and in the course of the afternoon Secretary Hermann, of the embassy, paid a special visit to the state department to inquire. M. Thiebant, the charge of the French embassy, also called in quest of information, it was said. These visits revived rumors that an effort is afoot to reach an international agreement respecting the conduct of the forces of the powers in China. "SIXTEEN TO ONE" Name of Special Car Which Carried Georgians to Kansas City. "Sixteen to One," the famous car that carried Georgia's delegation to Chicago in 1896, was attached to the special leaving Atlanta for Kansas City Sunday night. It was on the trip to Chicago four years ago that the special Pullman coach which has since become the private car of superintendent V. E. McBee, of the Seaboard AirLine, was rechristened with the euphonious title of Sixteen to One. The special attracted a great deal of attention on the trip. FOREIGNERS ALL MURDERED GERMANY DECLARES WAR again squeezed out when the costly task is over. GERMANY DECLARES WAR In a Speech to Departing Marines Kaiser Declares He Will Dictate Terms to China From the "Palace in Pekin." A Berlin special says: Addressing the detachment of German marines which sailed from Wilhelmshaven for China Tuesday, the emperor made a remarkable speech, during which he notified the world of Germany's intention to avenge the murder of Baron von Ketteler, the late minister of Germany at Pekin, and the missionaries, and to dictate terms to the Chinese from the palace at Pekin. His majesty spoke as follows: "The firebrand of war has been hurled in the midst of the most profound peace. Unhappily this was to me not unexpected. The crime is unspeakable insolence; horrifying in its barbarity, that has been committed against the person of my trust representative and has taken him from us. The ministers of other powers hover between life and death, and with them comrades sent for their protection. It may be that while I speak they have already fought their last fight. "The German flag has been insulted and the German empire treated with contempt. This demands exemplary punishment and vengeance. Events have moved with frightful rapidity and have become profoundly grave and still graver. Since I called you to arms what I hoped to effect, with the help of the marine infantry has now become a difficult task which can only be fulfilled with the help of the serried ranks of all civilized states. "I will not rest until the German flag, joined to those of the other powers, floats triumphantly over China's flag and until it has been planted on the walls of Pekin to dictate peace to the Chinese. You will have to maintain good comradeship with all the other troops whom you will come in contact with over yonder. Russians, British and French, all alike, are fighting for one common cause—for civilization." The emperor's address is commented upon enthusiastically by a majority of the press. Foreigners All Killed. "Not a single foreigner now alive in Pekin," is the Chinese report which has reached Shanghai. Other Shanghai reports describe the condition of the British legation as awful. It is said that the rooms of the legation were filled with sick and wounded, the killed lying unburied in heaps. It is believed that many members and officials of the tsung li yamen perished when the German guard, maddened by the murder of Baron von Ketteler, the German minister, set fire to the building. That the foreigners at the Chinese capital have been abandoned to their horrible fate no longer seems open to doubt. Advices from Shanghai, under date of July 4th, were, in effect, that three Chinese servants of foreigners have escaped from Pekin, and report that all the foreigners, 1,000 in number, including 400 soldiers, 100 members of the Chinese customs staff and a number of women and children held out until their amunition was exhausted in the British legation. The legation was finally burned and all the foreigners were killed. Relief of Pekin Impossible.. A dispatch received in London from Taku dated Saturday, June 30th, and Che Foo, Tuesday, July 3d, says that the British and Russian admirals, at a council of war held on June 30th, decided that it was impossible to attempt to relieve Pekin without greatly increased numbers. They also conclude that it would be possible to hold Tien Tsin, but in the event of this not proving feasible, they will endeavor to retain possession of Taku. It is beginning to be felt in London that the plausible fiction that no state of war exists is no longer tenable, and a fully equipped modern army belonging to a single nationality is necessary to deal with the situation instead of the expedition of a dozen nationalities. Hence arises the demand that Japan shall be given a mandate to complete the work left undone in 1894, with proper security that she shall be Subscription: $1.25 Per Annum; 75c. for Six Months, 50c. for Three Months; Single Copies Co. In Advance. Shanghai reports that the international forces at Tien Tsin are suffering from lack of good drinking water, owing to the Pei Ho river being choked with the corpses of Chineses and other victims of the bombardment. According to the same dispatch, the international troops, so far from being strong enough to advance toward Pekin, are not sufficiently numerous to attack the Chinese still surrounding Tien Tsin and keeping up a desultory fire on the place. Hay Receives Cablegrams. Secretary Hay has received cablegrams from Consul Goodnow from Shanghai dated July 3 and United States Consul McWade at Canton. The one from Goodnow is as follows: "On June 27th there were two legations standing. Prince Tuan and his force of boxers are in control of everything. Complete condition of anarchy in streets." Prince Tuan is said to be publicly beheading all the legation guards captured by the Chinese. Foreigners Fought Desperately. Couriers who are arriving at the seats of government of the southern viceroys from their agents in Pekin give vivid, but fragmentary pictures of what is being enacted in the orient. They report that the heads of some of the captured legation guards were being borne through the streets on the top of spears, followed by zealots chanting "Tapi Wang Kuei Tse Tapi Tapi" (Kill the foreign devils; kill, kill.") The city's millions have been roused to patriotic fervor, breaking out into the wildest excesses, while over half the city could be heard fighting around the legations. One of these couriers who was interviewed by the correspondent of the London Express at Shanghai, supplemented the tragic sentences of the dispatch he bore by a narrative of some things he saw. He says the foreigners were making a last stand in the extensive buildings and inclosures of the British legation. They had many dead and wounded. Among them were some women and children. All were short of food, even for the commonest necessaries. The women were starving, as they gave a part of their small allowance to the children. The foreigners, nevertheless, were holding out under a terrible fire, upheld by the hourly expectation of relief. They knew they would not be abandoned, and that the armies of their governments were advancing. Sometimes they thought they could hear artillery in action beyond the wall. They were unable to return the fire of the Chinese, except at moments when an assault seemed imminent. Then the machine guns and repeating rifles tore the storming parties to pieces. The messenger expressed the belief that it would be impossible for the foreigners to exist much longer, as the Chinese were preparing to batter down the walls of the courtyard and ammunition was running low. Orders were given by Prince Tuan, the messenger says, that since some had been killed, not one other foreigner should be left alive. The Chinese soldiers were exhorted to sacrifice their lives without hesitation, if by doing so they could help exterminate the "wang kuei tse." Extreme precautions had been taken to prevent the foreigners from communicating with anyone outside the city, and a number of runners who were sent out were killed by the Chinese. This messenger succeeded in getting through by smearing his face and clothes with blood and joining in the outcries against the "devils." He passed the remains of foreigners of Admiral Seymour's force, who had been killed between Lang Fang and Lo Fu. Their bodies had been cut to pieces and their heads were carried at the ends of bamboos. CHINESE WAR DECLARATION. Imperial Decree Just Issued Urges Bloody War Against Foreigners. A New York Herald dispatch from Shanghai, July 3d, says: The following Imperial decree, dated Pekin, June 25th, has been sent by the courier to Pao Ting Fu, and thence telegraphed broadcast: "We are now warring with the foreigners. Boxers, patriots and people, combined with the government troops, have been repeatedly victorious in battle with our foreign enemies. We have already sent imperial commissioners to transmit the imperial praise and exhortation to repeat these successes. NO 39 SNELL PAYS PENALTY Former Georgian Hanged at the National Capital. KILLED A THIRTEEN-YEAR OLD GIRL. Owing to Snail's Heavy Weight, the Kope Cut Through and Amost Deprimented Him. Benjamin H. Snall, formally of Georgia, paid the death penalty on the scaffold in the district jail at Washington Friday for one of the most flendish murders ever committed within the confines of the District of Columbia. His victim was Lizzie Weisenberger, a little white girl, thirteen years old. Snell was a clerk in the pension office, a giant in size, measuring six feet six inches and weighing nearly 200 pounds. The drop fell at 12:07 and his neck was broken by the fall of 5 feet, and the rope cut through to the spinal column, almost decapitating him. There were only a few present at the execution, but among them was Karl Wiesenberger, the father of the murdered girl. The crime for which Snell paid the penalty was committed August 6th, 1899, at the residence of the victim's parents. The evidence on the part of the prosecution tended to show that Snell went to the house of Karl Weisenberger, father of little Lizzie, that morning and asked for a drink of water. There being no water in the house, Mr. Weisenberger went to a hydrant, some distance away, to procure some. Thereupon Snell passed through the house and entered the kitchen, where Mra. Mary Weisenberger, the wife of Karl and mother of Lizzie, was preparing the morning meal. Snell greeted her in his usual manner, to which she responded by ordering him out of the house and accusing him of having seduced her daughter Lizzie. Snell thereupon went from the kitchen into the adjoining room, where Lizzie Weisenberger was sleeping, draw a razor from his pocket and cut her throat, inflicting five wounds and nearly severing her head from her body. When the mother, hearing the cries of her child, rushed into the bedroom to protect her, Snell assaulted the mother, cutting her twice. Snell knocked the woman down and made a break for liberty and was chased several blocks before being captured and disarmed. He at once feigned insanity, and made that his plea in the trials that followed. SEYMOUR'S CASUALTY LIST; Allied Troops Killed In Battles With Boxers sand Chinese Soldiers.. According to a message from Admiral Seymour, casualties in the battles with Boxers and Chinese troops up to last Friday were as follows: "British killed 27, wounded 75. Americans killed 4, wounded 25. French killed 1, wounded 10. Germans killed 12, wounded 62. Italians killed 5, wounded 3. Japanese killed 2, wounded 3. Austrians killed 1, wounded 1. Russians killed 10, wounded 27." Hung Chang Orders Over a Hundred Pirates and Boxers Beheaded. The Canton correspondent of, The London Daily Telegraph, in a dispatch dated Thursday, says: "One hundred and thirty pirates and boxers were beheaded yesterday by Li's orders to terrorize law breakers. The United States steamship Princeton has been ordered to Canton." Dig Naval Vessel Reported Ashore Fifty Miles From Che Foo. It is reported in Shanghai that the United States battleship Oregon is on shore on the island of Hoo Kie, in the Miao Tao group, fifty miles north of Che Foo, and that a steamer of the Indo China Steam Navigation company has gone to her assistance. Queensland Is Patriotic. The government of Queensland has offered the British admiralty a boat for service in Chinese waters. HUMOR CAUSES APPREHENSION. Alleged Discord Between Russians and Angle-Americans Worry Officials. The officials at Washington receive with regret and concern the reports from the Cee Foo that discord exist between the Russian and the so-called Anglo-Americans. Coming from the officers of the Terrible, it is considered as largely "sailor talk." At the same time it has been recognized from the outset, that such heterogeneous forces gave opportunities for serious division, as it is well known that the sailors and soldiers in certain countries do not like to accuse under a foreign superior. A MAN successus or fails by his own effort. How does the Republican record compare with the Democratic promissory note? IDLE men, tramps and Coxey's armies furnished but poor markets for farm produce. THE harmony in the democratic ranks was not apparent at the Kansas City convention. THE two New York men—Croker and Hill—had a war of words at the democratic convention. This more fully insures the state to the republicans. His patient and laborious work and the successful result of the war with Spain alone entitle President McKinley to re election at the hands of the people. The man who has an excellent character to back him, has quite a lever for good in this world, and many of our young men are sadly in need of this kind of a lever. The Democrats are awfully slow to take a hint. Here is Dewey wearing out his typewriter refusing the Vice Presidential nomination and they don't proceed to nominate him. THE Democrats are trying very hard to bring about the formation of a distinctively Negro ticket. But they will fail. The Negroes know with what party their best interest lie and look to it for help. THE Quigging of the Republican platform will do little harm. The country understands the Republican position on most points and the letters of acceptance will lay emphasis on those omitted by the platform. THE owning of lands and having beautiful homes are good things but nothing is more far reaching than to have a community where a large number of our people are conducting thriving business of every kind. Now the old time reader is looking eagerly in the papers for some of the dear old Chinese names that he used to study about at school such as Yang-ste-Kiang, Hoang-Ho, Passamaquoddy, Beloochistan, Skeneateles, and so forth. Col. Bryan has been a politician and a military man, and now he is a farmer. He seems to be a regular Emperor William sort of a fellow. Possibly he may also some day write a poem or be an emperor, just to show that he is as versatile as his prototype McKINLEY's strongest point is that the country knows what it can expect from him in any emergency. One cannot please everybody and some may object to some of his acts, but the great majority will approve. With Bryan on the other hand, no one can guess what he may not do. We look with pitying eyes upon the person who endeavors to undo nature by straighting his hair or obleaching his skin. We can not blame the thoughtless ones among us very much because they are encouraged in it by a number of race journals, the pages of which are coved with these kinds of ads. PRESIDENT McKINLEY has strenuously urged the fulfillment of every campaign promise made in the Republican platform of 1896. In this he has been supported by the representatives of his party in Congress, and the result has been much legislation of a valuable character, as well as faith kept with the people. MAN's cruel and beastly heart was made manifested by the reported action of some of the commanders of tug boats at the fatal fire in New York harbor last week, when they refused to saw human lives without being compensated. It is hoped that this report is untrue, but if otherwise, the fiendish captains should be punished as murderers. The democratic sheets have been saying that Mr. Hanna bossed the republican convention at Philadelphia, but that at the democratic convention there would be no bosses. In the same papers there was an associated press dispatch to the effect that Mr. Bryan would dictate the platform and who his running mate would be. Is not this bossism in its truest sense? Much have been said recently about the large number of people who are leaving the rural districts and fleeing to the cities. Much can also be said in their favor for doing so. Every reader understands the method adopted by a certain lawless class of the opposite race in their treatment of our people. Advantage is taken of them in business transactions, in laboring contracts, etc., and in the end if the colored man shows any inclination to protect his interest he is harshly dealt with and in many cases made to leave the locality without even the opportunity of getting his belongings or bidding his family und friends good bye. There is some excuse when this class migrates to the city. 'On the other hand there are many of the opposite race who discountenance these unlawful acts and advantage that is being taken of our people, and who generally encourage them in their efforts for self-betterment. The other worthless class that swarms to the city without any cause whatever other than their own worthlessness, should be caused to return. This class makes up the large per cent. of criminals that we are infested with. For instance, in any of our three courts the record would prove that about ninety-five per cent. of the crimes charged against us are committed by persons of this worthless class. There is place in the cities for thrifty and law-abiding ones, but this class finds it more profitable tilling the soil, and by their efforts live upon the "fat of the land." By far too many of our people are leaving the farm. No political party has ever met under such favorable circumstances as did the Republican national convention in Philadelphia. The unanimous nomination of both candidates for the offices of President and Vice-President was unprecedented. Mr. McKinley has carried, and well deserves, the compliment. The prosperity of the country under his administration alone merits it, without taking into consideration his able conduct of our affairs of state during the war with Spain. There was a notable difference between the harmony of the Republican party at St Louis in the convention of 1896, and at Philadelphia. Last month every Republican was working for the strongest ticket, and there was a unanimous verdict for McKinley and Roosevelt. The latter has endeared himself to the people by his clean and honest administration of such public offices as he has held, as well as by his bravery in Cuba. They are both strong candidates, politically and personally, and will gain in strength as the campaign progresses. An exchange says, "In the family circle the first halt must be made; our young boys and girls must be taught to reverence their parents more; they must be taught that there is the greatest dignity in labor; they must be taught to have respect and consideration for others which have ever and always will characterize the true gentleman and the true woman. Our parents to often tell their children that they are as good as any one else. We are not as good as others only as we are good and have that true nobility of character. In the family circle a greater regard for morality must be taught, and the Negro must learn to honor chastity and esteem virtue. A halt must be called in the school room; teachers must teach their children what true education is. The education that unfits a man or woman for work, is an education that ruins. SEVIRAL of the Southern daily papers are endeavoring to make it appear that the cotton mill operated in Charleston by colored help, is short of hands and the managers are unable to get a sufficient number to work We have not heard anything from a source to justify the above assertion, which can hardly be true. In Charleston there is a large and intelligent population of colored people who could keep several mills running. We can safely say that the mill in Charleston is really an expiriment and on it the future of the colored man in this praticular occupation is greatly depended. We are sanguine that the results will be satisfactory notwithstanding the attempt being made to raise a dark cloud around it. THE Democrats in the North Carolina legislature have jammed through the bill disfrahchising the Negro voters. Now they can resume the discussion of "government without the consent of the governed." The fiscal year closed with some $75,000,000 surplus in the U. S. Treasury. This alone ought to be good for another term for the party that saved the money. The last Democratic President hauled down the American flag at Hawaii; it was restored to its place over the Pacific by President McKinley. The person who is ever bent upon having "a good time" will either end in the poor house or in prison. Let us imitate the other race by the success attained by them in the commercial and other lines. Mr. H. H. Spring returned home last week from Jacksville after being there several months. Mrs. Delta Trupp of, Gainesville, Fla. is in the city spending a few weeks and is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Gibson. Corns, bunions, ingrowing toe nails and fetid odor of the feet, removed without pain or blood at 528 Taylor street, east. Mr. I. H. Smith of Port Royal, S. C., was in the city on Wednesday, and gave us a call. Mr. Smith is a gentleman of prominence in his section. Mrs. Hettie O. Cumming and Mrs. Rosa L. Gripon of Augusta will arrive in the city on Sunday and will be the guest of Miss Kathervn J. Steele. Mrs. W. T. Pyndexter of Jacksonville, Fla., sent a few days in the city this week, the guest of Mrs. A. E. Carson. She left on Wednesday for New York. Paul Alexander, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H Baldwin, was christened last Sunday at St. Philip's A. M. E. church, Miss Anna Collins acting as god-mother. Prof. J. C. Ross, Dr. T. J. Davis. Rev. J. W. Roberts, Messrs F. M. Cohen, and F. A. Andrews, Mrs. R. L. Barnes and Mrs. M. B. Andrews left on Monday for Valdosta to attend the session of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias. The names of the graduates of the Anderson Street Schoolwere received to late to be published last week. The following are the graduates: Mary A. Coleman, Elizabeth H. Roberson, Lula E Hogans, Adlie O. Reid, Viola E. Winters, James D. Monroe. The pleasure yacht of Mr. McNichols on which he has worked so faithfully, has been launched. It is a very unique model and made a trial trip last week. Mr. McNichols is very fond of yachting and no doubt will have many pleasant hours with his yacht. The greatest event of the season was the Adelphia's excursion to Daufuskie on June 26th. But Smith's ice cream and sherbet on that day was much greater. In order to get the same you'll have to hurry just as you did on the excursion. You will find his place on the corner of Jones st. lane and Abercorn. Then you will get the best cream, sherbert and ice,cream soda in the city. Give him a call and be convinced. Open late hours at night. Seaboard Air Linc. Below we publish an editorial clipped from the "The Cambridge Daily Press of Cambridged, Mass., in regard to the owners of the S. A. L. securing the service of Mr. E. St. John, who they elected as Vice-President and General manager of their system about four years since. Mr. St. John has certainly done a great deal for the people located along the S. A. L. system; not only in bringing to the territory a large number of his acquaintances North, but he has induced a great many of his personal friends to make investment along the line of road. He has not stopped at this; he has done more in four years to encourage the farmers to improve their condition than has been done by any other agency within the past ten years he has many plans to help and everyone of them has proven successfully. The Southern people welcome all such Northern men as Mr. St. John, and they are certainly greatly indebted to the owners of S. A. L. for securing the assistance of such a wise and energetic man as he is to assist in the development of Southern interests. It is to be hoped that nothing will cause him to leave our Southern section. A Good Preventive. "The heat and moisture of the summer months have a tendency to rust metals, mildew fabrics and cover all sorts of substances with mould," writes Maria Parloa of "The Care of the House in Summer," in the July Ladies Home Journal." Fermentation and putrefaction develop rapidly in vegetables and animal substances if they are not carefully watched. Lime and charcoal are two nids toward keeping the house sweet and dry, and the housekeeper should, if possible, provide herself with both of these materials. A barrel each of lime and charcoal in the cellar will tend to keep that part of the house dry and sweet. A bold of lime in a damp closet will dry and sweeten it. A dish of charcoal in a closet or refrigerator will do much toward making these places sweet. The power of charcoal to absorb odors is much greater directly after it has been burned than when it has been exposed to the air for a length of time. Charcoal may be purified and used again and again by heating it to a red heat. The lime must be kept in a place where there is no chance of its getting wet, and not exposed to air. Dr. L. S.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: Will you allow me space in your valuable columns to express my grat- itude to my sainted pastor: (TO MY SAINTED PASTOR, REV. ALEXANDER ELLIS D. D.) Our dear, dear pastor is gone to rest, To the home of the faithful and the blest. We will meet him up there In that home bright and fair. To welcome our loved one at home, I could almost hear the heavenly choir As they sang "Sweet child" come Home. Thou art gone my dear pastor To a home bright and fair, Where all who are faithful shall go. We now may regret, but will be with you yet On that bright and blissful shore. —IBENE E. COLEMAN, Tribute of Respect. At a regular meeting of the Mutual Benefolent Society, held May 14, 1900, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted; Whereas, the hand of divine Providence has removed our brother member, York M. Millede from the scenes of his temporal labors, and we, his associates, are desirous of testifying our respect for his Memory, and expressing our earnest and affectionate sympathy with the wife; Therefore be it Resolved, that we tenderly condole with his wife in the hour of trial and affliction, and devoutly commend her to the keeping of Him who looks with pitying eye upon the widowed. Resolved, that in the death of York M. Millede, this Society lament the loss of a worthy member, a friend and companion who was dear to us all. Resolved, further that these resolutions be spread upon the record of the Society, and a copy thereof be transmitted to the wife, and be published in THE SAVANNAN TRIBUNE Condolence. Savannah, Ga., July 31, 1900. At a special conference of Beth-Elen Baptist church, the following resolutions were drawn with respect to the late Rev, Alexander Ellis, D. D: "Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God to take from us our beloved shepherd, Rev. Alexander Ellis, who was an able and efficient divine, and "Whereas, We keenly feel and mourn his demise, and sincerely tender our heartfelt condolence to his bereaved family. Therefore be it "Resolved, That we bow in humble submission to the will of Almighty God, and that we shall ever cherish a fond memory of our late pastor for his wide-spread Christian influence and his great usefulness, which are greatly missed, both among us and this community. "Resolved further, That these resolutions be published in the papers of the city and a copy thereof sent to his bereaved family. Deacon Frank Linder, acting Moderator, C. W Watson, Church Clerk. Commercial Activity Needed There seems to be a commercial activity pervading the industrial world in some localities at last by the Negro. Of course it is only in its inception and cannot be said that he has gained anything like a foothold, but nevertheless, it is indubitable that he is fast waking from that dormant state of commercial sluggishness that handicapped him for a number of years. He is gradually learning that hands down does not benefit him; that the competitive system is fairly on; that man must create his occupation instead of waiting for something to "turn up," laboring under the delusion that "all things come to him who waits," if he can wait long enough, only to find himself turned down after letting slip through his fingers golden opportunities ad interium. The Negro is going into business as other nations. He is going to be a trader—it is essential to his every betterment, and a hopeful sign that he is realizing the condition that environs him. There are perplexing and hazardous phases of commercial life though, that will attend him, and is contumacious at first to the Negro commercial contemplator. But by a persistent and diligent application of business principles, involving a strict adherence to the most fundamental potentialities of success and failures as compared with sales for cash and sales for credit, he should win for himself a place in the field of commerce. A merchant can't reasonably hope to be successful when goods are bought on credit and sold on credit, neither can goods be bought for cash and sold on credit unless there is a goodly amount of capital behind the project. Parenthetically, speaking, I know some men who bought $50000 worth of goods on credit, sold them for about $1,100 on credit and failed. Still others who bought probably the same amount of goods, paying cash, disposed of them on the same plan and are now out of business,—which proves to my mind the double fallacy of the solitary business man and the credit system, as accountable for the many failures and few successes recorded among the colored people, as merchants. But if we take those failures of the past as precedents, let them daunt us, we cannot hope to pluck from the future any measurable degree of success. Instead, from those failures we can draw true lessons of great benefit in moulding projectiles that will penetrate the commercial world ATTENTION!

For many specific reasons I favor the co-operative system. Paramount among them is that the stock-holder becomes a customer, and by sticking close to "Poor Richard's" epigram—"Plow deep while sluggards sleep, and you will have corn to sell and corn to keep," would in the immediate future place him in a comparatively respectable standing in the vicinity in which he resides.

These two distinguished personages are traveling under the auspices of the John F. Slater Educational fund and are to speak on the moral and educational lines to our people. This will be Mr. Washington's first visit to Savannah, and it is expected that all of our people will turn out in large numbers at each of the meetings and demonstrate our appreciation. A few of the leading citizens met during the week and arranged 'to give the honored visitors a reception on the evening of the meeting. On account of their short stay in the city and the inopportune hour of holding the reception, it will not be on an elaborate scale, even such as the guests deserve, but it will be of such a nature as to show that Savannah's colored citizens are mindful of the heroic efforts being put forward by Mr. Washington for racial advancement. During their stay in the city they will stop at the palatial home of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Monroe on West Broad street. Duffy Street School. On account of the crowded condition of our columns last week we were unable to say anything about the Duffy Street School. This is the school fostered by the colored citizens and partly supported by the Board of Education. The school was opened on the second day of January last and was unable to accommodate the large number that applied for admission and since which time hundreds were turned away for want of room. The school accommodated one hundred and fifty students. This number was really too large for two tachers, but they entered in the work with the proper spirit and have made an excellent showing during the year. Efforts are now being made to have the Board of Education take full control of the school. At any rate it will be continued during the coming term. On Tuesday night of last week, a concert was given by the school. It was well attended. 'The singing' by the little ones was good and the recitations showed that they were well prepared. The exercises would have done credit to any of the older schools. The two teachers, Mrs. M.M. Mills and Mrs. E.Green, labored hard during the term, and proved themselves asbeing the proper ones for the place. Concert At Theatre.

On Thursday night a large number of some of our best people ejed the pleasant ride around the harbor. Unfortunately there were a few rough young men who caused some trouble and one of them in shooting at another struck a young boy in the back, inflicting a wound from which he died yesterday. The boy's name was Joe Edwards. The committee was very vigilant and succeeded in capturing every one connected with the affair. It was an unfortunate occurrence and the members of the committee regret it very much. "The community sympathize with them as well as with the stricken family, and condemns severely the class of roughs who in some manner manage to get among good people and act disgracefully. Tent Meeting. A tent was erected on Lumber and Factory streets under the auspices of the Christian Church. The services commenced on Thursday night and will be continued each night for the next month. Rev. W. M.

A pleasant time is promised. Newspaper Beats. It has been aggreed that newspaper subscriptions are an infallable test of a man's honesty. They will sooner or later discover the man. If he is honest he will cheat the printer some way—declare he has paid when he has not—sent money in the mails which was lost—will take the paper and not pay for it on the ground that he never subscribed for it—or move off and leave it coming to the office he left. Thousands of alleged christians are dishonest in this particular, at least, and the printer's book will tell fearful tales at the final judgment—Press. and Printer. Notes From Tuskegee.

Is afflicted with Thompson's Eye Water OREGON ON A ROCK Our Big Battleship Meets With Accident On Chinese Coast. THE NAVY DEPARTMENT IS ADVISED Vessel Was Hurrying To Chee Foo and Struck Plinnacle Rock During a Dense Fog—May Yet Be Saved. The following dispatches were received at the navy department Saturday morning relative to the grounding of the battleship Oregon: "CHE Foo, June 29.—Secretary of the Navy: Anchored yesterday, dense fog in seventeen fathoms, three miles south of How Ke Light, gulf of Pe Chile. Sent out two boats and sounded—least water five and half fathoms. Weather clear. Got under way and struck Pinnacle rock. Much water in the forward compartment. Perfectly smooth. Shall charter a steamer if possible at Chee Foo and lighten ship. Rock through side of ship above double bottom about frame 19. Small holes also through bottom of ship. "WILDE." "CHE FOO, JUNE 29.—Secretary Navy: Iris gone to assistance of the Oregon. RAYMOND ROGERS, "Commanding Nashville." "HONG KONG, JUNE 29.—Secretary of the Navy, Washington: Princeton arrived. Brooklyn leaves for Nagasaki. The Zafro, at Che Foo, has been sent to assist Oregon, reported by Rogers on a rock south of How Ke light. Iris going to her assistance. REMRY." Captain Wilde's statement of the injury sustained by the Oregon is not sufficient for the department to form a definite opinion as to the prospects of saving the famous ship. They say, however, that the ship probably can be saved, if the weather does not become rough, but unfortunately this is the season of storms in Chinese waters. The point where the Oregon grounded is fifty miles west northwest of Che Foo. Taku is 150 miles west of Pinnacle rock, where she struck. At the request of the secretary of the navy, the state department sent a message to the Russian government at St. Petersburg asking permission to bring the Oregon to Port Arthur to be docked there in the event the ship can be floated. At that point is the nearest dock of sufficient size to dock the ship, and it is part of the navy yard possessions of the Russian government. Secretary Long will spare no reasonable expense in the effort to save the Oregon. Her total cost was $5,575,-032. On this total the hull and machinery represented $3,222,810. The Oregon made herself the most famous ship in the American navy, and the best known ship in the navies of the world by her remarkable race from San Francisco around Cape Horn to join the fleet at Key West just before the war with Spain was declared. It was a feat unequaled in the annuals of naval history, and an unprecedented test of the capabilities and power of a modern warship. The Oregon, under command of Captain Charles E. Clark, began her long race of 14,000 miles against time from San Francisco on March 19th, 1898. She arrived at Jupiter Inlet, Fla., on May 24th and communicated with the navy officials at Washington. Secretary Long ordered Captain Clark to report to the Norfolk navy yard if his ship needed overhauling; if not, he was to go directly to Key West. Two days later, or on May 26th, the Oregon joined the fleet at Key West. She had steamed the 14,700 miles at racing speed without the slightest impairment of her delicate machinery, or a break of any kind. The civilized world rang with praises of the magnificent performance of the ship and her heroic crew. The Oregon participated in the attack on Santiago and with the Brooklyn prevented the escape of the Colon in the memorable sea fight of July 4th. During the chase of the Colon the Oregon developed a speed of eighteen knots under forced draft. When peace was declared with Spain the Oregon was sent to Manila. Some days ago the vessel was ordered to China, and had nearly reached her destination when the accident occurred. GENERAL PILAR CAPTURED. He Was the Most Aggressive of Aquinaldo's Lieutenants. A Manila special says: General Fio del Pilar, the most aggressive and most persistent of the Filipino leaders has been captured and made a prisoner at Guadaloupe, six miles east of Manila, by some of the Manila native chiefs. Hauna Wlll Hold On. A Washington dispatch says: It is stated on high authority that Senator Hauna will succeed himself as chairman of the Republican national committee and will conduct the coming campaign. CAPTAIN KNOCKED OUT. Superintendent of Cuban Schools, Frye, Defends His Female Teachers. A Boston, Mass., dispatch says: Superintendent Alexis Frye, in charge of the Cuban teachers coming to Harvard, had ad haltment with Captain McHarg, U. S. A., commanding the transport Sedgwick, at sea, over alleged bad treatment of the women by the captain. Captain Frye called McHarg a curir and a coward and knocked him down the companion way. MITCHELL'S MITCHELL E SA Price, 25c. Mitchell EYE SALVE Seed Bed for Late Vegetables. - Contrary to general custom the seed bed for late plants should be made as soon as the soil can be worked to good advantage. Let the soil be worked until it is as fine as the harrow or rake can make it. Then roll until the surface is perfectly smooth, after which cover to the depth of three inches with coarse stable manure. This should be left on until it is time to sow the seed, when it should be carefully raked off, avoiding breaking the surface of the soil. Make shallow trenches for the seed. Sow thinly and cover the seed with fine sand to the depth of one-fourth of an inch. This is the custom of the best seed growers on Long Island, and is one of the greatest importance, as the mulch will not only keep the soil moist, but the moist, warm air from below will completely pulverize the small lumps, leaving the soil in best possible condition for plant growth. No matter how dry the season may be, the soil will retain sufficient moisture to carry on the young plants until they are sufficiently large for transplanting. The importance of preparing the seed bed in this manner cannot be overestimated. It is utterly impossible to secure a good crop of either cabbage or cauliflower without good plants and this method, barring accident from insect enemies, will always secure strong, healthy plants. This was proved conclusively last year when those who prepared their seed beds in the usual way lost heavily, both in the quantity and quality of their plants, while those who prepared their seed beds as recommended were invariably successful. —C. L. Allen in American Agriculturalist. What to Feed the Calf. If the calf is destined for beef, feed it liberally and have it ready to sell another winter as baby beef. Give grain and good sound grain twice a day, only being careful not to increase the daily ration too rapidly, and not to overfeed at any time. It will pay to feed some grain next summer at least once a day, and it is best at night, even while on grass, and while it may not ent much while pastures are good, as soon as they fall increase the grain, and we think corn meal is the best and cheapest fattening food. But for the calf that is to be a dairy cow avoid/corn meal. Use bran or oats or a mixture of them. Never let it get either fat or lean, but try to keep up what we could call in a horse or an ox a good working condition. If a heifer is allowed to get fat before calving she will always have a tendency to turn her feed into fat instead of into milk, and into tallow instead of butter fat. The treatment during the first two years has much to do in determining what the animal will be hereafter. Shall it be the lean, pot-bellied, rough-haired sort that will be worth less money at a year old than it was at a month old, or shall it be a strong vigorous, healthy and thrifty animal, whether steer or heifer, that you can see grow every day after it is turned to pasture, and that at two years old will be better grown and better matured than the other sort would be at three years old?—Farm, Field and Flreside.

A novel fight was witnessed by the men employed at the pumping station of the Standard Oil Company near Coshecton, N. X., the other day. It was a battle between an enormous blacksnake and a skunk and it ended in the death of both combatants. The attention of the men was first attracted by the strange actions and loud cawing of a crow which was crecling about a spot in a field near by. They went to the spot and saw a large blacksnake with its head raised, and within six feet of it was a skunk which kept going about the snake as if to draw its attention from a small rock ten feet away. On this rock were five young skunks about the size of chipmunks. The snake's tail was coiled about a small oak stump and as the skunk continued its rounds the snake darted its head repeatedly at its enemy. This continued for a short time, the circles made by the skunk growing smaller and smaller. Then, quick as lightning, the skunk sprang upon the snake and fastened its teeth in the snake's neck. In an instant the snake had two collisions around the body of the skunk. The struggle continued for a short time only and then the combatants both lay dead. The snake was seven feet long. The young skunks were left on the rock as none of the party cared to get within close range of them. Medical Book Free.

As a rule it is not sound weight, but means a lot of flabby fat and useless, rotting matter staying in the body when it ought to have been driven out.
