This Is the Demand Made By Germany Upon the Chinese.
PRELIMINARY TO NEGOTIATIONS
Declaration of Kaiser's Intentions Come With Count von Waldersee's Arrival In China.
The German foreign office has sent a circular note to all the powers announcing that the German government considers that an indispensable preliminary to the beginning of peace negotiations with China is the delivering up of those who were responsible for the outrages.
The text of the telegraphic note is as follows:
"The government of the emperor holds as preliminary to entering upon diplomatic relations with the Chinese government that those persons must be delivered up who have been proved to be the original and real instigators of the outrages against international law which have occurred in Pekin. The number of those who were merely instruments in carrying out the outrages is too great. Few of those whose guilt is notorious should be delivered up and punished. The representatives of the powers at Pekin are in a position to give or bring forward convincing evidence.
Less importance attaches to the number punished than to their character as chief instigators a d leaders. Wholesale executions would be contrary to the civilized conscience and the circumstances of such a group of leaders cannot be completely ascertained.
"The government believes it can count on the unanimity of all the cabinets in regard to this point, inomuch as indifference to the idea of just atonement would be equivalent to indifference to a repetition of the crime. The government proposes, therefore, that the cabinets concerned should instruct their representatives at Pekin to indicate those leading Chinese-personages from whose guilt in instigating or perpetrating outrages all doubt is excluded.
Von Buełow."
The note has been sent to the German embassies at Washington, London, Paris, St: Petersburg, Rome, Vienna and Tokio.
GERMANY MIDES NOTHING.
A Berlin special says: The publication of Count Von Buelow's circular note, which was made through The Nord Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, was decided upon because it was deemed best to let the world see that Germany had nothing to hide regarding her real aims to China. The diplomatic corps here so interpreted it. The note shows also that Count Von Buelow's sober and moderate views regarding the Chinese muddle and its solution have now triumphed over Emperor William's more expensive plans. The leading German papers approve the note. The Freisinnige Zeitung, calling particular attention to the passage declaring that wholesale executions would be contrary to the civilized conscience, says:
"This is in striking contrast with Emperor William's instructions to the departing troops to spare no one, and to make no prisoners."
A London special under Tuesday's date says: As might have been expected, coincident with the arrival of Count von Waldersee in China, comes the most important declaration of policy yet issued by any of the allies. The Daily News remarks:
"Germany's circuitr note has turned the tables on Russia, whose evacuation proposal has put Germany into an awkward corner. Now if Russia assents to the German note she will be unable to continue," says The Daily News, "to pose as China's lenient and forgiving friend, while if she dissents Russia will lay herself open to the charge of rushing the punitive expedition to a farce."
The London morning papers have little, but praise for what is called "Germany's admirable note."
The Morning Post alone, in a cogent and well-reasoned editorial, points out a grave objection, namely, that if the real authors and instigators of the uprising should be identical with the personnel of the Chinese government they could hardly be expected to deliver themselves up, and that if the Chinese government should be designated as guilty, it would be under the ban of the powers, a condition of things only terminable by the conquest of China or a revolution producing a new government.

SAVANNAH. GA., SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 22, 1900.
COAL PRICES GO UP
Strike Leaders In the Authracite Region Are Well Pleased.
FORCES ARE GREATLY AUGMENTED
Trouble Is Brewing Between Union and Non-Union Workmen and Shoeriff Swears In Force of Deputies.
A Philadelphia special of Tuesday says: The leaders of the strike say at the end of the second day that 118,000 of the 141,000 mine workers in the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania are idle. No representative of the mine operators makes a statement for their side of the matter, but individual mine owners dispute the strikers' figures, saying there are more men at work than the union leaders will admit.
The first advance in the price of coal as a result of the striko was made by the Philadelphia and Reading company Tuesday, 25 cents per ton being added. This advance was promptly met by the local dealers, who increased the price to consumers 50 cents a ton.
A cloud appears on the otherwise peaceful position in the shape of a report from Harrisburg that a bitter feeling is developing between the union and non-union men in the upper end of Dauphin county, over the refusal of the men at Williams-town to join the strike. The mine employees in the neighboring towns of Lykens and Wiconiaco are on strike and threaten to compel the Williams-town men to quit work. A meeting of the Williams-town men was held Tuesday night, at which it was decided to stand firm against any attempt on the part of the strikers to force them to join the strike. Sheriff Reiff swore in 150 deputies, who will act in conjunction with a double force of watchmen on duty at the Williams-town colliery.
A concession was voluntarily granted the 5,000 employees of the Lichhua Coal and Navigation company, in the region west of Mauch Chunk, who will hereafter work ten hours a day, with an increase in earnings. These men were unorganized and had not presented any grievances. True to its declaration made before the strike was ordered, the Philadelphia and Reading Company, on Tuesday, brought its mules to the surface in two minutes, near Shaunokin, that had been closed by the strike, and announced that they were permanently abandoned. This action makes it necessary for the miners who formerly worked in these collieries to seek work elsewhere.
"The action of four hundred or more employees of the West End Coal Company, at Mocanaqua, near Wilesbarre, in sticking to their work, stands out prominently as a busy feature of the otherwise idle territory. They say they have no grievance, have always received kindly treatment from their employers and therefore resist every effort to induce them to strike.
The nathracite operators need expect no aid from the bituminous operators in their struggle against the miners. At a recent meeting the operators of the Altoona district decided not to meddle in the troubles of the eastern district. They are having plain sailing at present and do not desire to court trouble. They have all the orders they can fill and some are behind because of a lack of cars during the summer. The strike will divert the cars to the bituminous field and the operators are looking for the best business in their history this fall. All the miners are at work and there is no talk of a sympathy strike.
WHEELER FAVOR EXPANSION.
Huntsville Citizens Give Retired General a Great Reception.
General Joseph Wheeler was given a magnificent ovation Tuesday night by the people of Huntsville.
In his address the general paid a graceful tribute to the soldiers and statesmen of the south. Touching lightly upon the acquisition of foreign territory, he said that it had always been the policy of southern presidents to acquire territory; that under their administrations the original thirteen states had expanded into the present enormous domain of the United States of America.
COTTON TOO HIGH.
Augusta, Ga., Mills Announce a Temporary Close Down. A serious feature to Augusta, Ga., in the present high price of cotton is the announcement that the cotton mills will close down. For the past year or so, since the price of cotton was low, the cotton mills have been persistent bears. They bought only enough cotton to meet current demands. The consequence is that the steadily rising market finds them without stocks of raw material and the present price of cotton goods too low to be manufactured from high priced cotton.
LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE
Formulated by Hon. W. J. Bryan and Transmitted To Chairman Richardson, of Democratic Notification Committee--Its Germane Points.
Following are the germane features of Hon. W. J. Bryan's letter accepting the Democratic nomination for president which was given out Monday: advocate of the gold and silver coinage of the constitution, and is not willing that other nations shall determine for us the time and manner of restoring silver to its ancient place as a standard money. The ratio of 1G to 1 is not
LINCOLN, N.E.B., September 17.—Hon. James D. Richardson, Chairman, and Others of the Notification Committee of the Democratic National Convention—Gentlemen: In accepting the nomination tendered by you on behalf of the Democratic party, I beg to assure you of my appreciation of the great honor conferred upon me by the delegates in convention assembled, and by the voters who gave instruction to delegates.
I am sensible of the responsibilities which rest upon the chief magistrate of so great a nation, and realize the far-reaching effect of the questions involved in the present contest.
In my letter of acceptance of 1896, I made the following pledge:
"So deeply am I impressed with the magnitude of the power vested by the constitution in the chief executive of the nation and with the enormous influence which he can wield for the benefit or injury of the people, that I wish to enter the office, if elected, free from any personal desire, except the desire to prove worthy of the confidence of my countrymen. Human judgment is fallible enough when unbiased by selfish considerations, and, in order that I may not be tempted to use the patronage of the office to advance my personal ambition, I hereby announce, with all the emphasis which words can express, my fixed determination not, under any circumstances, to be a candidate for re-election, in case this campaign results in my election."
Further reflection and observation constrain me to renew this pledge.
constrain me to review this pleure.
The platform adopted at Kansas City commands my cordial and unqualified approval. It courageously meets the issues now before the country, and states clearly and without ambiguity the party's position on every question considered. Adopted by a convention which assembled on the anniversary of the signing of the declaration of independence, it breathes the spirit of caudor, independence and patriotism which characterizes those who, at Philadelphia in 1776, promulgated the creed of the republic.
Having in my notification speech discussed somewhat at length the paramount issue, imperialism, and added some observations on militarism and the Boer war, it is sufficient at this time to review the remaining planks of the platform.
TRUST QUESTIONS.
The platform very properly gives prominence to the trust question. The appalling growth of combinations in restraint of trade during the present administration, proves conclusively that the Republican party lacks either the desire or the ability to deal with the question effectively.
INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
The Republican party has persistently refused to comply with the urgent request of the interstate commerce commission, for such an enlargement of the scope of the interstate commerce law as will enable the commission to realize the hopes aroused by its creation. The Democratic party is pledged to legislation which will empower the commission to protect individuals and communities from discrimination, and the public at large from unjust and unfair transportation rates.
THE FINANCIAL PLANK.
The platform reiterates the demand contained in the Chicago platform for an American financial system made by the American people for themselves. The purpose of such a system is to restore and maintain a bimetallic level of prices, and in order that there may be no uncertainty as to the method of restoring bimetallism, the specific declaration in favor of free and unlimited coinage at the existing ratio of 16 to 1, independent of the action of other nations, is repeated. Now the Republican party, for the first time, openly abandons its advocacy of the double standard, and indoles the monetary system which it has so often and so emphatically condemned. The Democratic party, on the contrary, remains the steadfast
INDIANS THREATEN TROUBLE.
Utes In Colorado Menace Settlers In San Miguel County.
An Indian outbreak is threatened in San Miguel county, Colorado, according to a dispatch received by Governor Thomas Monday. The information was contained in a letter from the postmaster at Cedar, Col.
The governor sent a telegram to the secretary of the interior demanding that steps be taken to protect the settlers.
Telegrams to Indian agents and game wardons asking them to investigate affairs at Cedar were also sent by the governor. The nearest troops are at Fort Duchesne, Utah.
advocate of the gold and silver coinage of the constitution, and is not willing that other nations shall determine for us the time and manner of restoring silver to its ancient place as a standard money. The ratio of 16 to 1 is not only the ratio now existing between all the gold and silver dollars in circulation in this country, a ratio which even the Republican administration has not attempted to change, but it is the only ratio advocated by those who are seeking to reopen the mints.
The demand for a constitutional amendment providing for the election of senators by direct vote of the people appears for the first time in a Democratic platform. New conditions have made it imperative that the people be permitted to speak directly in the selection of their representatives in the senate.
The platform indoles the principle of direct legislation. This is already applied to the more important questions in nation, state and city.
The platform renews the demand for arbitration between corporations and their employees.
I cannot too strongly emphasize the importance of the platform recommendation of the establishment of a department of labor, with a member of the cabinet at its head.
The Chinese exclusion act has proven an advantage to the country, and its continuance and strict enforcement, as well as its extension to other similar races, are imperatively necessary. The party expresses its pride in the soldiers and sailors of our wars, and declares its purpose to deal generously with them and their dependents. A liberal policy is natural and necessary in a government which depends on its citizen soldiery, instead of a large standing army. The Democratic party is in favor of the immediate construction, ownership and control of the Nicaragua canal by the United States.
There will be a popular acquiescence in the demand for home rule, and a territorial form of government in Alaska and Porto Rico. Both are entitled to local self-government and representation in congress. The recognition contained in both the Democratic and Republican platforms of the right of the Cubans to independence removes the general principle involved from the domain of partisan politics. It is proper, however, to consider whether the accomplishment of this purpose can be safely entrusted to the Republican party after it has yielded to the allurements of the colonial idea and abandoned its earlier faith in the natural and insatiable rights of man.
The reasons given by Washington, Jefferson and the other statesmen of that early days in support of the doctrine we should maintain friendly relations with all nations, but enter into entangling alliances with none, are even stronger today than they were a hundred years ago. We cannot connect ourselves with European nations, and share in their jealousies and ambitions without losing the peculiar advantage which our location, our character and our institutions give us in the world's affairs.
The doctrine enunciated by Monroe and approved by succeeding presidents is essential to the welfare of the United States.
By inadvertence the income tax plank agreed upon by the resolutions committee was omitted from the platform as read and adopted. The subject, however, is covered by the reaffirmation of the Chicago platform, and I take this occasion to reassert my belief in the principle which underlies the income tax.
IMPERIALISM.
The subjects, however, treated in this letter, important as each may seem in itself, do not press so impasively for solution as the question which the platform declares to be the paramount issue in this campaign. Whether we shall adhere to, or abandon those ideas of government which have distinguished this nation from other nations and given to its history its peculiar charm and value, is a question the settlement of which cannot be delayed. No other question can approach it in importance; no other question demands such immediate consideration.
CREMATED IN NURSERY.
Six Salvation Army People Lose Their Lives In a Fire at Cincinnati.
A branch nursery of the Salvation Army at No. 403 East Front street, Cincinnati, burned Monday evening and six persons were killed, two fatally injured and four seriously injured. All the dead bodies were burned to a crisp.
All the victims and those injured belonged in the nursery, except one, James Hawkins, who went to the rescue of his orphans. There were twenty in the nursery on the upper floors at the time of the fire and eight of them escaped without injury.

IN DIPLOMATIC PHASE
The Chinese Situation Has Lost Some of Its Recent Acuteness.
SHARP DIPLOMACY NOW IN ORDER
Russians Receive Li Hung Chang on Board Warship-Gen. Chaffoe Expresses an Opinion.
A Washington special says: There were no developments in the Chinese negotiations Friday with which the public could be made acquainted, the whole matter being still in the diplomatic phase, and therefore not calling for military orders.
The war department officials are awaiting word from the state department as to the next step expected of the troops, but it is now intimated that this will not be taken immediately.
The situation has lost something of its acuteness owing to the change in the attitude of the Russian government as indicated in Thursday's dispatches, and although no official confirmation has reached Washington of the postponement of the withdrawal, the fact is not doubted here. But regardless of the course to be taken by Russia, it is now said that there is nothing in the American note of response to Russia that demands an immediate evacuation in the event that the Russian troops are called away. Instead, it is stated that the control the situation would simply pass from the state department into General Chaffee's hands, and it would be for him, after conferring with the other military commanders, to determine when and how, and to what extent the American forces should be withdrawn.
RUSSIANS RECEIVE EARL LI.
"Li Hung Chang, will be taken on board a Russian warship at Wu Sang and received by the Russians at Taku," says the Shanghai correspondent of The London Post, "and he will be accompanied by the Chinese minister of railways."
According to the Shanghai correspondent of The London Times, wiring Wednesday, Earl Li considers that the preliminary difficulty of the negotiations consists in the necessity, which he realizes, of denouncing Prince Tuan and his accomplices to the throne. He is of the opinion that it would be advisable for the allies to take the initiative by compiling a list of those held chiefly responsible, and by formulating their demands accordingly.
The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post says:
"France and Russia, I have been assured, have agreed to demand the complete dismemberment of China, including the razing of the Taku forts and the fortifications and arsenals elsewhere."
General Chaffee is preparing to make his troops comfortable for the winter. When asked his opinion regarding the situation, he is reported to have answered:
"It would be better for the United States troops to leave; but, in any event, the Chinese Christians will be provided for."
DEMOCRATS TO TACKLE EAST.
They Will Make Desperate Efforts to Capture Republican States.
The chairman of the Democratic state committees from the nearby states were at the Hoffman house, New York, Friday, in conference with National Chairman J. K. Jones and the sub-committee having in charge the campaign in the east. The conference closed after a session of over three hours. Ex-Governor Stone said after the meeting:
"We will now make an active effort to carry New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia. From now on the national sub-committee will co-operate with the state committees in those states, furnishing them all the aid and ammunition for the hardest kind of a fight."
Exterminating Catholic Missionaries. The Cologne Volks Zeitung, the leading centrist organ of Germany, has received special advices from Shankow saying that the war of extermination against Catholic missionaries in China is assuming greater dimensions.

GREAT STRIKE IS UNDER WAY
Over a Hundred Thousand Coal Diggers Lay Down Picks.
ANTHRACITE FIELDS SILENT
Great Struggle Between Operators and Miners In Pennsly-vania Begins In Earnest.
The great struggle between the anthracite coal miners of Pennsylvania and their employers was begun, as scheduled, Monday. Each side is confident of winning, and neither of the contending forces shows any disposition to yield. The exact number of men who struck could not be ascertained, as only estimates of the number of men who did not start work were made during the day.
Reports received by the United Mine Workers officials from the entire anthracite region were to them satisfactory. In the Hazleton district there are 16,000 men employed in and about the mines. Of this number it is conservatively estimated that about 50 per cent, or 8,000 miners, quit work. Five thousand of these belong to collieries which did not work at all, and the remaining 3,000 to mines which worked short-handed.
The district south of Hazleton, known as the South Side, was tied up completely with the exception of Coleraine, Beaver Mendow and Carsons washeries. In this territory the United Mine Workers are very strong. On the north side, the upper Lehigh, Minesville, Ebbvale and Drifton No. 1 collieries, employing about 1,500 men, are shut down.
The mines at Lattimer and Pond Creek, employing 1,200 men, are working full, but every other mine in that big territory is working with badly crippled forces. Three of the Markle mines, over which there has been so much contention, worked all day with about 65 per cent of their men. On the west side every colliery started up minus its union men except the Hazleton mines, where the miners went to work in consequence of a misunderstanding. About 100 foreign speaking miners left Hazleton for New York, where they will take a steamer for Europe. These men expect a long strike, and rather than remain idle in this country, they preferred to go their former homes. President Mitchell gave out the following statement Monday night:
"Information received up to tonight is that 172,000 mine workers are on strike in the anthracite region. Of this number 72,000 are in district No. 1, 30,000 in district No. 9 and 10,000 in district No. 7.
"Reports received are to the effect that large numbers or those who went to the mines today will join in the suspension tomorrow.
"We feel confident that the entire number of men employed in and about the local mines of the anthracite district will be idle in the next few days.
"The men appear determined to continue on strike until their demands for justice have been acceded to. The number of men now out on strike exceeds that of any other industrial contest in the history of our country.
"JOHN MITCHELL."
In speaking of the charge that politics might have something to do with the present strike, President Mitchell said Monday:
"Politics will not, cannot and must not enter into the strike. Personally, I approach the contest as a mother would a babie in its first illness. The sole object of that mother is restoration of her baby's health. The men who are called leaders in this strike are animated with the same consideration. There cannot be and shall not be any contention in a political sense as to the declaration of the strike. The leaders feel, and they want their men to feel, and they want the public to know, that this is a fight for human liberty. It would be nonsensical, it would be cruel for any one to inject politics."
RELIEF WORK PROBLESSING.
Order Is Being Rapidly Brought Out of Chaos at Galveston. Advices of Tuesday from Galveston state that the work of clearing the streets of debris is progressing rapidly under the perfect organization instituted by military rule. Over 2,000 men are engaged on the work. Ninety-eight bodies are reported as having been found in the wreckage and removed Tuesday.
Bodies found are buried or cremated and no systematid record has been kept. The storm wrecked almost every vault in the six cemeteries, and many of the dead were washed to caskets.

At every national convention the Republican party has pledged itself in favor of universal liberty.
COLORED men in the service of the United States Government draw more than $5,000,000 in salaries every year. The majority of these were appointed by McKinley.
The records show that more Negroes have employment in the service of the Government today than at any time since the Republican party has been in power.
DURING the Spanish-American war, Negroes were called upon to assist in maintaining national honor and defending the country's flag. For the first time in the history of the country a regiment composed of Negroes, and officered by men of the race from colonial down to coporal, was sent to Cuba. This event occurred under the McKinley administration.
PITCHFORK TILLMAN in a speech delivered in the Senate of the United States, February 24th, 1900, said: "I know nothing about other states, but I acknowledge openly and boldly in the sight of God that we did our level best to keep every Negro in our state from voting."
It is generally conceded that Tillman will be a member of Bryan's cabinet in case of Democratic success.

The Republicans of the 11th Congressional district met in convention at Waycross on Wednesday for the purpose of taking steps looking to the putting up a candidate for Congress. The district was represented by its most active and influential republicans. The meeting was presided over by Chairman E. R. Belcher of Brunswick and the greatest interest was manifested in party work looking to polling a heavy vote for the Republican ticket in November. The Chairman was authorized to appoint a committee for the purpose of selecting the candidate for Congress, and a resolution strongly condemnatory of certain Republican officials who obtained appointments upon pledges made to recognize the county and district organizations in the selection of their subordinates.
Among the leading members of the district committee present were Judge W. H. Matthews, Prof. F. Snelson, Mr. R. M. Sawyer, Mr. C. Greer, and Editors Davis and Milton of The Gazette, all of whom made anecdices.
Col. J. H. Deveaux, Capt. L. M. Pleasant and Rev. W. H. Styles of the first district were present and made speeches endorsing the administration and the Republican party, and severely criticizing Bishop H. M. Turner for his vagaries and inconsistencies in regard to his recent advice to his race to forsake their principles and support the Democratic nominee for the presidency. The bishop's attitude was met with ridicule by every delegate at the Convention.
(Continued From Last Week.)
Next it was my most delightful pleasure to glide over the beautiful waters of the historic Hudson in company with twelve hundred white tourists in a palatial New York steamer. Upon one side nature with her bare precipitous walls of rock, known as the palisades, lent interest; and on the other side, most picturesque views of the home of Washington Irving, Sing Sing, Lyndehurst, the summer home of Helen Gould; then Tarrytown, where Major Andre was captured. On the west side upon a very precipitous plateau or tableland I landed and wended my way to the historic heights of West Point; and I can assure you that the pleasure, of strolling over the verdant grounds, of visiting the Cadets in camp, in their parade, and of inspecting the school rooms and the armory, where seemingly every specimen of knives, swords, pistols, guns and cannon, shot and shells and flags was to be seen, was a rich treat.
In connection with my West Point trip, I had to go next to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the chief naval station of this country. There were about eight hundred sailors in port at this time. The great variety of large and long guns and the destructive Mississippi Ram, trophy guns of the Cuban war, Spanish mines made this place look warlike.
My final visit was made to the Eden Musee. The Eden Musee is a Temple of Art situated in the centre of New York City, a very fine structure in the picturesque style of modern French renaissance. I entered the vestibule of this handsome building from 23d street, and on entering, I saw a gigantic policeman standing near the main entrance to the museum. I said: well, I am cheered by seeing this strong officer of the law here; I'll be safe from all harm. And around stood a number of persons doing different things; but after I purchased my ticket and was about to enter the main building I discovered that neither the policeman, the sailor and nurse talking, as I thought, the sweet little baby in the carriage to whom a tramp, was talking or any of the people standing around were alive, but simple creations of wax at the hand of the skilled artist, Amazed at these wonders and amused at myself I exclaimed, well, man cannot make life and that is all he cannot do. The next piece of wonder was the Barbette of the Olympia at Manila. This group was a most wonderfully realistic scene of the unparellet battle and victory of Commodore Dewey, this was so real that I could almost persuade myself to believe, that I was upon the Olympia in the thick of the battle and beholding the Spanish going down; the men at the cannon, the flash of the cannon, all seemed real.
Among the many other groups of realisms might be mentioned "George and Marttha Washington," "The last movements of John Brown," "Abraham Lincoln." This group of wax realism symbolized Lincoln in the act of stricking off the shakles of the Negro. Now as space will not allow an intelligent and elaborate description of the many groups I saw, suffice it to mention only one more; "America Enlightening the World."
This group portrayes in a most life like manner the position America occupies among the countries of the world, in liberty and civilization. "Colombia," the central figure, carries in her right hand the banner of Liberty and Freedom, and in her left the torch of civilization is raised aloft. At her side, under the torch, an Indian crouches in half defiant attitude. This signifies the fruitless efforts of the aboriginal Indians to stop the progress of civilization in this country. On the other side of "Columbia" a Negro has secured protection under the banner of Liberty and Freedom and looks upon "Columbia" with gtatitude. The real idea of this group is to show the irresistible victory of civilization over barbarity, and equality and brotherhood principles over those formerly held in the Old World."
While it is true that a large number of Southern colored people go North, the cities and towns of the North are so large and there are so many whites, etc., doing any, and everything, for a living that there is almost nothing of note for the Negro to do, and hence they are few and far between. The colored women make the most money as helps in homes. Professional adored people are as a needle in a haystack.
I shall speak later of my visit to historic Boston.

Special Notice.
If you want one of those beautiful lots south of the city, you will have to hurry. These lots sold four years ago for $25.00, but there are a few left for $20.00—$5.00 cash, balance one or two dollars per month. All who have seen them have bought from one to five. All of these lots are high and dry. L. S. REED, Box 266. 27 Bay street, east
THE white man with any degree of self-respect and with a deep feeling for law and order, discountenances mob law in any of its phases. It is only the thoughtless ones with wild ideas who would commit such acts.
THE TRIBUNE, along with the citizens who assisted, feel it quite a compliment to have the Board of Education to take entire control of the Duffy Street School. THE TRIBUNE has been an incessant agitator for more school facilities. This one act is only "a drop in the bucket," in comparison to what we really need, but with patient foiling and much forbearance we hope some day to secure the results that we are laboring for.
District Platform.
The Republican party of the First Congressional District of Georgia in convention assembled, through their delegates from every county, do hereby declare and renew its principles, as follows:
Resolve That we fully indorse the Republican national platform adopted at Philadelphia on June 19, 1900, and its action in nominating President William. McKinley for re-election as President, and Gov. Theodore Roosevelt for Vice President of the United States.
Resolved, That we reiterate the indorsement of the administration of President Willian McKinley. Its acts have been established in wisdom and patriotism, and at home and abroad it has distinctly elevated and extended the influence of the American nation. Walking untried paths and facing unforeseen responsibilities, President McKinley has been in every situation the true American patriot and the upright statesman, clear in vision, strong in judgment, firm in action, always inspiring and deserving the confidence of his countrymen.
Resolved, That we denounce the action of the Democratic party in the states of Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, and North Carolina in disfranchising American citizens on account of their color, as revolutionary and in plain violation of the constitution of the United States and as deserving the reprobation of all true American voters and the entire nation.
Resolved, That we favor the policy of protection to American labor as tending to dignify the toil of all American workmen and to stimulate and encourage the growth of industries in our midst, and we invite all voters, without regard to past party affiliations, to join with us in the First Congressional District and by their votes help in obtaining these desirable results.

Endowment Day.
St. Philip's A M E Sunday-school in conjunction with the church held interesting Endowment Day exercises last Sunday evening. After the pastor, Rev. Curgile, had preached a very instructive sermon on education the following program was carried out by the Sunday-school, interspersed with singing:
Paper—"The A M E Schools and their work", Mrs. F. L. McGhee.
Paper—"The A M E Church as an organization", Master David Moses.
Essay—"What the Negro has done to build up his country", Miss Eva Powell.
Essay—"The work of our women", Miss Ruth Price.
Paper—"Christian Education the hope of our people", Miss E. L. Randolph. All the papers were of a high order and demonstrated the ability of the essayists. The collection during the day amounted to nearly $60.00, and the full amount of fifty dollars was made up during the week and forwarded to the treasurer of Morris Brown College at Atlanta.
Ashburn Notes.
Ashburn, Ga., September, 1900. MR. EDITOR: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to say something of our town. Yesterday was Endowment Day, and we had a grand time. We had a literary exercise and essays by Miss Julia Willis, Cenia Wilis and others. The essay enclosed was written by Miss Ora Tookes, the sweet little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Tookes, and she is less than twelve years of age, and I know the readers of your paper would be glad to see a paper from the hands of such a young, but precious girl as this, she has attended one term at Ballard's School in Macon, Ga.
Miss Mary Childs with her sister and brother, Mr. E. S. Daniels of Canilla, Ga., has moved here and will take charge of our school, and I am sure the term will be benefited thereby. Glen. O. Smith.
The essay spoken of above was received, but on account of our limited space we are unable to publish it. The subject of the essay is "The relationship of the Church, School and the Home." It was well written and contained thoughts that would have done credit to any graduate of a grammar school, or even those higher advanced. If Miss Tookes continues in this same strain she will become a woman of much literary ability. We will keep the copy and if in the future space allows, we will publish the same. [Ed.]

The friends of Mrs. Mittie Lewis will regret to learn that she is very ill at her home, 916 West Broad St. She has been indisposed during the past summer, but recently became worst. At this writing she was resting somewhat easier.

Since the improvement on Hutchinson island about twenty persons have been drowned and many others had narrow escapes from drowning. On Monday, six men were drown, and on Wednesday sixteen were percipitated in the river from an overcrowded boat. It seems that the facilities to cross and recross the river is inadequate. While the company has a ferry boat, yet this is small for the large number of workingmen. If a large barge could be secured no doubt the small boats would be displaced and the danger from drowning necessarily lessened.
St. Augustine's Parochial School, corner of West Broad and Bolton streets. The patrons and friends of St. Augustine's Day school are here by cordially reminded that Mrs. Dennis will open school on the 17th inst. All parents contemplating sending their children are earnestly requested to have them ready to meet Mrs. Dennis on the morning of the 17th of September, 1900. The school is in first class condition, and we pledge ourselves to do perfect work. An industrial feature will be added to the school this year, and those desiring will be taught sewing also.
Our New School.
About one year ago a movement was inaugurated for the purpose of securing more school facilities for our children, thousands of whom were unable to secure a place in the schools. By untiring efforts the citizens who had charge of the affair were enabled to impress the Board of Education to the extent of it paying for the services of two teachers while the citizens had to secure a place for the school, furnish it, pay for fuel, janitor and etc. The committee, to meet this expense appealed to the citizens and to the credit of many, the funds necessary for this expense were raised.
The school was opened at the Duffy street hall on the third of January last and continued to the close of the term in June.
After the close of the term the committee petitioned the board of education to take entire charge of the school. The board has recently favorably answered the petition, and the school will be re-opened on the first of October.
The citizens at large should commend the committee who labored so energetically for the results secured. The first call for the meeting of citizens was issued by Capt. J. C. Simmons, and to him also the commendation should be shared.
To be Repeated.
Last week we spoke about the excellent rendition of Jephthah and his Daughter. This cantata was so well received that the manager was solicited to repeat it, which will be done at Ford's Opera house on Monday night. It is given for the benefit of Asbury M E church. The quality of the cantata deserves a crowded house and it, is hoped that this will be realized. The price of admission has been reduced somewhat, that is 25 cents is charged for seats on the lower floor and the first three rows on the elevation, and the other seats on the elevation for 15 cents.

The last big rally of the year will come off at St. Philip's church, West Broad street, tomorrow. The pastor and officers hope to raise $700.00 or more as a result of their work during the past two months. The officers and members of the Grant and Salter's Divisions have been working faithfully and tirelessly and the two generals, R. W. Cole and S. J. Howard, are hoping for gratifying results.
Capt. John S. Starr has been recently commissioned as a first class pilot for the waters of South Carolina. The captain already has commission for Georgia and Florida waters, and has been studying quite a while for South Carolina. The examination was a rigid one but he managed to pass with a creditable percentage. Capt. Starr is in charge of the U. S. boat Tybes and was appointed by Col. Devsaux.
St. Stephen's Kindergarten and Primary School.
This excellent institution, under the supervision of the Rev. Richard Bright, who is a bly assisted by two teachers will begin its eighth term on Monday, Oct. 1st. In the Kindergarten Department.children are received between the ages of four and six The uninitiated and inexperienced regard this best of educational institutions as "a waste of time" or "child's play." To a certain extent the Kindergarten is "play," but that kind of "play" which lays a thorough foundation in the mind of the child and makes him, in reality, "a bright boy".
Some of us take umbrella when others say that they are "superior" to us; surely that man who has exceptional opportunities for self-culture, and is wise enough to take advantage of them must be "superior" to him who does not. St. Stephen's Kindergarten is really one of the very few in the entire South for Colored children. The citizens of Savannah ought to be proud of the unusual privileges afforded them for giving their children the proper start in their education, and show their appreciation by sending them to it. The tuition is cheap enough, either 10 cents a week or 50 cents a month; both in advance. The well regulated kindergartens for white children charge from five dollars a month up. St. Stephen's rates are low because our people for the most part receive low wages. Four of the first white kindergarten teachers of the city visited it last term, and expressed themselves as highly pleased. The proprietors of factories in a New York town, declare that after 1915, they will employ nobody who has not had the benefit of a kindergarten training.
Read what the recent Hampton Conference and Prof. Butler of Columbia University, one of the leading lights of the National Teachers' Association nay of the Kindergarten. The former says: "We regard the establishment of a kindergarten as the necessary part of our American Public School System. It is the logical basis of all true education and especially meets our greatest educational need at present. We endorse every effort to bring about this result and most heartily recommend that such kindergartens be established by churches and by private benevolence for the benefit of the humbler class of the people." The latter: "The kindergarten in the hands of those who have mastered its spirit and its purpose is the most powerful single educational agency yet devised. In America where the kindergarten is most thoroughly studied and most wisely conducted, it has brought life and light to tens of thousands of children, who, without it, would have grown through their tenderest years in neglect, or would have been turned over, helpless and appalled to the old fashioned formalism of the elementary school."—Butler. In the Primary Department pupils are received to the Third Grade inclusive.
The school rooms are well ventilated, well heated, and are bright and cheery; everything is at hand to make the pupils comfortable and happy.
Once a week-after school hours-the girls are taught sewing, (without extra charge) and other useful accomplishments which all girls ought to know.
Our aim is thoroughness, mental, physical, and moral, consequently our pupils lead wherever they go.
All applicants must, in conformity with the State law, give satisfactory evidence of successful vaccination; it is a safeguard for the children and their parents.

KRUGER LEAVES
HIS COUNTRY
He Takes Temjrary Refuge On
Portugese Territory.
GEN. BOTHA IS BROREN DOWN,
Lord Roberts Tells Boers That
They Must Surrender at Once,
as Their Cause Is Hopeless.
| A dispatch tpcoived at the waroflice
in London Friday from Lord Roberts,
dated Macusdodorp, September 13th,
seys that Kruger has fed and Botha
has given over the command of the
Boer army temporarily to Vilajon, on
account of ill health,
Lord Roberts gives the text of s
proclamation which he hes cirenlated,
in which he says Kruger’s desertion of
the Boer should make clear to his fel-
low burghers that it ia useless to con:
tinue the struggle any longer.
Lord Roberts declares the British
army is determined to carry the war
toa conclusion; says the fighting has
degenerated into irregular operations
which must be brought to an carly
and, and-concludes:
“The means I om compelled to
adopt are those which the customs of
war prescribe ss applicable to such
casts. ‘Thoy‘aro ruinous to the coun-
try, and entail endless suffering to the
barghers and thoir families, nad the
longer this gnerilla warfare continues
the more vigorously mist they be en-
forced.” = ug
According to the Larerizo Marques
correspondent of The Daily Tele-
graph, Mr, Kruger is Firtnally a pris-
oner in thoresidence of the district gov-
ernor. This is at the instance of the
British cousnl, who protested against
Mr. Kruger using Porfugaese territory
as a base for directing’ his executive,
The French consal has been forbid-
den access to Mr. Kruger, as have also
the latter's own officials. The district
governer hos notified Herr Pott, the
Netherlands consul, that he can no
longer-be recognizod as a representa-
tive of the Tranavaal, which is now
British territory.
PEOPLE LEAVING GALVESTON

Tho first real attempt to clear away

It is hoped that a vigorous prosecu-
tion of this work will lead to the early
recovery of bodies still in the debris.
that there aré many of them there is
no skadow of doubt. It is difficult,
indeed, to imagine how half the peo-
ple that did escape got freo of this
fearful floteam and jetsam. .
‘An Associated Press representative

and the stench at different points was
absolutely sickening. Everywhere lit-
He groups of men, women and chil-
dren, some of them poorly provided
with raiment, were digging in tho
ruins of their homes for what little

In many cases those seeking their
former residences were utterly unable
to discern a simple remnant of them,
so hopeless is the confusion of tim-
bers and household furniture. |
‘The exodus from the city is heavy,
and hundreds were eager to go who
were unable to secure transportation.
Along the bay front there were scores
of families with dejected faces plead-
ing for permission to be taken from
the stricken city, where, in spite of
every effort to restore confidence,
there is universal feeling of depros-
sion,

‘Within a year the camphor trade of
the world has become a monopoly. The
trees which yleld this fragrant and
useful gum are to be found all over
Asis.and the East Indies, but the prin-
cipal production from them 1s confined
to the Island of Formosa, which be-
longs to Japan. China was never avle
to furnish more than 200,000 pounds
a year, and Japan now produces about
340,000, Formosa's annual gutput for
several years past has been between
6,000,000 and 7,000,000 pounds. Little
is to be had at present from any other
source, and there is no prospect of any
change in the situation for a long time
to come.
In deciding to exercise control over
the production of camphor, Japan has
been actuated by two motives. In the
first place, she wants to obtald revenue
therefrom, as France does from the
mateh and clgar industries. But she
also seeks to avert the killing of the
goose which lays the golden eggs for
her. In other words, she bas under-
taken to protect the camphor foreste,
which were in anger of extinction.

How British Cavalry Missed Boer Cannon,
We learn with considerable aston-
ishment that, In the movement from
Helpmakaar to Laings Nek, Buller’s
cavalry, under two such capable cav-
alry Officers as Lord Dundonald and
Burn-Murdoch, falled, for some rea-
son yet to be explained, to capture
nearly the whole of the Boer guns
which were {n process of removal,
and which were so imminently threat-
ened that the Boers absolutely aban-
doned thom in a hollow, taking off
thelr ox teams, and leaving the pleces
to thelr fate. General Brockleburst
does not seem to had been in this
show, but, as regards the other two,
there seems to be no doubt that they
missed a great chance, for they were
within easy striking distance of tho
Boer guns, which were abandoned for
hours together, one gossip says days,
until the enemy brought back thelr
ox teams and removed the artillery
under our very noses.—Correspond-
ence London Leader.

At Brule, near Saint Etlenne, in
France, is ono of the most remarkable
burning mountaina in the world. Orig-
inally 1t was 2 mass of coal, welghicg
probably hundreds of millions of tons,
and ¢levated well above the surround-
ing country.
Dense forests covered it, and its pe-
culfar formation was unbroken and
unsuspected, save by the local peasan-
try. These mined the precious mineral,
each'in his own way and for his own
profit; and, as tho deposits were of
varying richness, frequent jealousies
and bickerings were the result.
One of the favorite plans for keep-
tng rivals at 2 distance was to throw
pieces of old leatlier on a burning
brazler, causing an Intolerable stench.
One day, more than a century ago, the
fire extended to the coal, and it has
never ceased burning. The summit of
the smouldering mass 1s occupied by a
genuine crater, where the Imprisoned
gases generated by the conflagration
forced thelr way out, and round the
lips and within the throat of this fun-
nel-shaped orifice have formed yast
deposits of cltron-yellow-colored sul-
phur. . q
Another similar manmade volcano,
on a smaller-scale, exists in Belgium,
between Namur and Charleroy, It
has been burning continuously for
nearly ninety years, and emits vast
columns of black, mephitic smoke,
rendering the neighboring country
barren, baked and utterly unprofita-
ble.—Answers.
