VOL. XVII. HOAR IS INQUISITIVE "Granny" Senator Wants Whole Philippine War Investigated. ASKS PERTINENT QUESTIONS Declares the Flag Is Being Desecrated By Methods Used to Subdue Filipinos—Demands that Committee Be Appointed. For the first time this session the Philippine question appeared in the senate Tuesday and the interest which was taken indicates that it will occupy the attention of the upper branch of congress for some time when the tariff bill is reported. The Philippines were the subject of an address by Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, who spoke on his resolution introduced Monday providing for the appointment of a senate committee to investigate the administration of those islands. Mr. Lodge, Mr. Hoar's colleague, said he regarded the resolution as a reflection on the Philippine committee, of which he was chairman, and said his committee was perfectly able to handle any investigation which might be conducted. Mr. Carmack, democrat, agreed with him. The discussion was leading rapidly to an opening up of the whole Philippine question when it was agreed that the resolution should go over until Wednesday. Mr. Mason, of Illinois, made a speech in favor of reciprocity with Cuba and discussed the protective policy generally. Mr. Hoar claimed that we ought to have some reliable information regarding the war in the Philippines, which he characterized as "a painful controversy." "We want to know who promised the Filiplinos independence," he insisted. "Some charge that Dewey did, and Dewey says they lie, and the matter was allowed to stop, there." "Who began the war which is going on?" he asked. "There are those who will tell us what happened on a certain night when there was an attempt to pass some of our pickets by some Filiplinos and a scuffle and an outbreak, and an appeal to us by Aguinaldo to stop hostilities, that they did not want war, and our answer was that the war was going on and could not now be stopped. The senator from Wisconsin (Mr. Spooner) had stated in the senate in his reason not adopting some things that were proposed that we would be making assurances of pacific intention to men with arms in their hands fighting against the American flag, but the president had given to a military commander Jong before an order to proceed to reduce the people of the Philippines by military force to submission. "General Otis said that would bring on war and took the liberty of suppressing it, and instead told the people they should have all the rights of liberty that belonged to the most favored people on earth." The original proclamation had been sent by the president, but is it not an act of war to order a military officer to use military force to subject a people? "I do not know, of any one able to give a statement of the truth as to the differences between Governor Taft and General Chaffee. I get some dreadful stories from brave soldiers and officers of high rank in the manner in which the war is conducted. General Otis had shocked the country by saying, we should keep 40,000 troops in the Philippines for a considerable time, but instead of that number we have 70,000, and Mr. Hoar asked how long we were going to keep them there. "If General Chaffee is right," he said "there is not a man in those islands who is not conspiring against the government and eager for his liberty. Now give us a little light. Take the most zealous men in this body and give us a committee that will hear the evidence, put questions, hear both sides and let us know what is the truth. We are engaged in the unholy office of crushing out a republic, the first great republic ever established in the eastern hemisphere. If we had dealt with this people as we dealt with Cuba we should have had today a civilized, happy, peaceful republic, sending their youths to our schools, studying our laws, imitating our example, animated by a love and affection and a gratitude such as no one people on earth yet felt for another." Capitol Corner Stone Lal. The corner stone of Florida's new state capitol building was laid at Talahassee Tuesday with impressive ceremonies. The feature of the occasion was the eloquent oration by Attorney General Lamar. PRESIDENT REBUKES CLIQUE. Reid, Clark and Wilson Go to Represent Us at Coronation of His Nibs, King Edward. A Washington special says: The cabinet meeting Tuesday was devoted largely to the consideration of the appointment of representatives of this country at the coronation of King Edward. At the conclusion of the meeting the following were announced by the secretary of state: Special ambassador—Whitelaw Reid, of New York. Representatives of the United States army—General James H. Wilson, of Delaware. Representative of the United States navy—Captain Charles E. Clark, commander of the battle ship Oregon during the Spanish-American war and now governor of the naval home at Philadelphia. There are to be three secretaries, as follows: J. P. Morgan, Jr., son of J. Plerpont Morgan, of New York; E. L. Bayliss, a barrister of New York, and William Wetmore, son of Senator Wetmore, of Rhode Island. The appointment of Captain Clark came in the nature of a surprise, as it was thought that Admiral Crowninshield, chief of the bureau of navigation, was slated for the place. Crowninshield is one of Admiral Schley's bitterest foes and is believed to be largely responsible for the attacks on the hero of Santiago. Clark, on the other hand, is a warm friend of Schley and gave strong testimony for the admiral before the court of inquiry. It is said that the appointment of Clark is a rebuke to Crowninshield and the clique which fought Schley. Some even go so far as to assert that it means that President Roosevelt will act favorably to Schley in reviewing the findings of the court of inquiry. However, that may be, one thing is certain and that is that Crowninshield it a bitterly disappointed man. He wanted to go to London and so did Adjutant General Corbin, who is popularly supposed to head the anti-Miles ring in the army. Corbin is as deeply disappointed as Crowninshield. MORE FILIPINOS SURRENDER. Rebels of Batangas Come in Unconditionally and are Released. A-Manila special says: The full surrender of the forces of Colonel Marisgan, who, with Major Cabrera and a renegade priest named Castillo, gave themselves up unconditionally January I to General Bell, who is conducting the campaign against the insurgents in Batangas province, occurred January 13 at Taal. The insurgents created a surprise by bringing in sixty more rifles than the authorities thought Marisgan could command in the district of Taal, which he controlled. The Fillipinos who sur rendered included three colonels, one major, five captains and twelve lieutenants. They gave up 219 rifles and one cannon. All the insurgents who surrendered did so unconditionally. General Bell ordered the men to be released. General Bell says the surrender pacifies for the time being all the eastern part of Babangas. ACTION ANGERS STALLINGS. Postmaster at 'Augusta, Gay, He Has Been Badly Treated. A Washington special says: There is fire in the eye of Postmaster Stallings of Augusta, Ga., and fight is in his heart. He was at the white house Tuesday charging all sorts of bad faith on Postmaster General Smith in bringing about the appointment of Colonel Smythe as his successor. He says snap judgment was taken on him and lays the responsibility for the most of it at the doors of the outgoing head of the postoffice department. Stallings' grievance against Postmaster General Smith is that when the latter asked for a list of offices which would expire before he went out of office, he included Augusta which does not expire until the 18th. This is Stallings' allegation. He says he was not given an opportunity to get in half his indorsements, as he was given to believe there would be no need for them before the 1st of February. RAPIST MEET6, HIS DOOM. Mob Storms Jail, Secures Prisoner, and Swings Him to a Limb. Jim Mays, charged with assaulting a white girl, was taken from jail at Springfield, Ky., by p mob about 2 o'clock Saturday morning and hanged. His body was found hanging to a tree in the high school yard. The mob came into town quietly, and after arousing Jailer Cattlett, demanded the keys to the jail. Their request was refused, however, and they were forced to break down the jail doors. SAVANNAH. GA. SATURDAY. JANUARY 18. 1902. SOUTH LEADING ALL We Have Taken First Place in Increase of Population. NORTH AND WEST FALL BACK Is First Time In History That This Section of the Country Has Forged to the Front In Popular Grouth. The director of the census announced Monday the percentage of increase of population in different parts of the country, showing for the last decade a rapid decrease from the previous growth of population in the west, a less marked, but decided decrease in the north and a slight increase in the south. For the first time in the history of this country the population of the south has increased somewhat more rapidly than that of the north. The east geographically is included in the term north. The rate of the growth in the north, west and south is far more nearly the same that it has ever been. The official announcement divides the country as follows: West—From the Pacific to the eastern boundary of Montana; Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico; north and south, the respective line formed by the Potomac and Ohio rivers and the southern boundaries of Missouri and Kansas. The percentage of increase from 1860 to 1880 was 61.9 in the north, 84.4 in the south and 185.6 in the west, while in the last twenty years, 1880 to 1890, it was 48.7 in the north, 48.5 in the south, and 131.5 in the west. Prior to the civil war the northern states nearly doubled in population with each twenty years, while in the southern states the increase of population was only about two-thirds as great. Since 1860 the rate of growth in both parts of the country has been much less. While the rate of growth in the north has decreased steadily, that in the south during the last twenty years has been slightly greater than during the twenty years from 1860 to 1850. During the last twenty years there has been no substantial difference in the rate of growth of the two sections. The percentage of increase of growth of these regions during each of the last two ten-year periods, follows: 1880-1890: North, 24.8; south, 20.1; west, 71.3. 1896-1900: North, 19; south, 22.4; west, 31.9. If the comparison is limited to the states east of the Mississippi river, the result is slightly different. It will show the increase to be: 1859-1890: North, 20.1; south, 16. 1890-1900: North, 19.9; south, 17.7. When the trans-Mississippi states are omitted, the rate of growth in the north is slightly greater than that in the south, but the present difference between the two sections-in this respect is about one-half what it was between 1860 and 1890 and less than one-seventh of what is was between 1850 and 1860. The frontier, as a large area of rapid but intermittent growth, is no longer an important factor in the progress of American population, and the rate of growth in the several great areas of the United States is now nearly the same. Rathbons Testifies as to Appointments of Neely and Reeves. The hearing of the charges growing out of the Cuban postoffice frauds were resumed in Havana Monday afternoon. E. G. Rathbone was unexpectedly called by the government. The court told him he had the right to refuse to testify if he so desired, to which he replied he was glad of the opportunity to testify. The court questioned him concerning the appointments of Neely and Reeves, to which he replied that both men had been sent him by the department at Washington well recommended. "FALSE," SAYS SCHWAB. Still Magnate Denies That He "Bucked" Against Monte Carlo. The following dispatch from Charles M. Schwab, president of the United States Steel Corporation, is self explanatory: "Nice, January 14—To the Associated Press, New York. I have today learned of the sensational statements regarding gambling at Monte Carlo. I have been on an automobilling trip through the south of France with a party of friends. I did visit the casino at Monte Carlo, but the statements of sensational gambling are false." PENSION MATTERS DISCUSSED. Unique Proposition to Place Southern Veterans in Union Homes Not Approved. The house of representatives spent the day Monday in general discussion of the pension appropriation bill, the first of the annual budgets. The debate took a wide range. Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, and Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, took occasion to denounce a report presented to the last Grand Army of the Republic encampment criticising the course of themselves and other members of congress on the veteran "preference" bill which was defeated at the last session. They explained that their opposition to the bill was due to the incorporation in the bill of a clause which had not been indorsed by the Grand Army of the Republic, placing veterans of the Spanish war in the preferential class. Mr. Rixey, of Virginia, caused something of a stir on the democratic side by advancing a proposition to open the doors of national soldiers' homes to ex confederates and to furnish federal nid to state confederate homes. Mr. Richardson, of Alabama, was the only democrat who joined Mr. Rixey in support of it. Mr. Barney, of Wisconsin, in charge of the bill, said the estimate for the payment of pensions had decreased from $144,000,000 to $138,500,000. He was asked by Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee why the amount for pension decreased $5,500,000 while the number of pensioners was said to be larger. Mr. Barney explained that this was accounted for by the fact that the arrearages were decreasing and the number of large pensions (those from $50 to $75 a month) was also decreasing. In reply to another question, he stated that the commissioner of pensions believed that the high tide of pension payments had been reached and the amount required probably would remain stationary for some years. SCHLEY BEING FETED. Citizens of Savannah Making Admiral's Visit an Enjoyable One. At Savannah Monday morning Admiral Schley, accompanied by General W. W. Gordon, visited the floor of the Savannah cotton exchange and for more than an hour was informally entertained by the members of that organization. He in turn entertained them with his stories and reminiscences. He was introduced to all the members of the exchange who were on the floor and appeared to enjoy his visit very much. Certain it is, the members enjoyed having him with them. No other visitor in years has been so gladly welcomed to the floor. The reception was enthusiastic and sincere. Admiral Schley sent three telegrams Monday, one was to Mme. Nordica at Nushville, Tenn., which read as follows: "We are so glad you escaped serious injury and rejoice as every admirer-does, that you are safe." Another telegram was to Richard Michaels, care of The Staats Zeitung, Chicago, accepting the invitation of the German societies of January 28 until 4 p. m. On the same evening he will depart for Louisville to fill an engagement there on the 29th. The third telegram was to the Knights Templars of Columbus, expressing regret that he could not accept their kind invitation. CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE. Passes. Resolution Aking Congress to Reopen Schley Case. The following resolutions calling upon congress to reopen the Schley case and make its own decision as to who was in command at the battle of Santiago was passed by the Chicago board of trade at its annual meeting Monday. "Resolved, That we believe it the duty of congress to review the record of the court, to examine into all the circumstances and events tending to throw light upon the controversy and to announce its judgment as to who was in command at the battle off Santiago and as to the conduct of Admiral Schley on that occasion." BOOKIES HELD UP. Masked Men Rob Pool Room People in Kansas City. Two young men of slight build, with handkerchiefs tied across the lower portion of their faces, entered Harry B. Chick's pool room in the center of Kansas City Monday night and with drawn revolvers commanded the proprietor, a cashier and three other employees, who were in the place, to lie down on the floor. A third man, supposed to be a confederate, but not masked, guarded the entrance while the robbery was committed. TO:ROB:THE CUBANS Was. Plot. Formed By. Messrs. Neely. Rathbone. and Reeyes. On the Stand Reeves Swears that Trio Beat the Government By Burning Stamps and All Got a Draw Down. A special from Havana says: At the opening of Saturday's hearing of the charges arising from the Cuban postoffice frauds, the government asked for a further examination of W. H. Reeves. He submitted several letters from Charles F. W. Neely, the government's purpose being to show the intimacy which existed between Neely and Reeves. In reply to a question of the court, Reeves said he did not get any portion of the $15,000 from the stamp burning incident. Reeves said Neely told him he had given it all to Rathbone. The cross-examination of Reeves by Moya and Mascaros, attorneys, did not bring out any new evidence. When* cross-examined by Rathbone's attorney, Reeves said he was appointed by Perry S. Heath, the first assistant postmaster general. The contention of the government side to prove the intimacy between Reeves, Rathbone and Neely by introducing correspondence between them brought out a letter from Rathbone to Reeves which the government had in its possession, but failed to introduce Friday. Rathbone's counsel declared that the letter itself shows that Rathbone was not desirous of concealing the fraud. The letter was written while Reeves was ill in Florida, in February, 1900. Rathbone wrote that Colonel Burton's examination of Reeves' books had disclosed a discrepancy of $500. Colonel Burton thought that the error lay with the bank and suggested that the matter be left open until the next investigation, but Rathbone insisted upon finding the discrepancy and then waiting until Reeves returned to explain. Reeves admitted having received the letter and said he thought it was an honest expression from Rathbone. To Fool the Government. Reeves further said that after his arrest Rathbone suggested that all three get together and they could fool the government. He said that as auditor he had authority to allow certain claims without vouchers when the accounts were approved by Rathbone. The defense contends that the law forbids this. Reeves declared that no orders had been issued to audit the monthly accounts of the postmaster of the island. \He did not recognize the alleged order shown by the defense and he said that it never was posted on the postoffice building board, as other orders were. Neely's counsel sharply cross-examined the witness. Reeves recalled the stamp burning and said that the packages were sealed, though he was not sure whether with the Washington seal or another. He took down the amounts marked on the outside, and the number, he said, corresponded with the amounts which it was reported were destroyed—$310,000. He knew, he said, that fraud was intended, but he did not exactly know how it was to be committed. The court has allowed Rathbone's lawyer to send to the Philippines for a deposition by Abraham L. Lawshe, deputy auditor for the postoffice department; who was sent to Cuba to investigate postal affairs there and who proceeded to the Philippines later to make an investigation. Costly Blaze In Chicago. Fire which broke out about 1:30 o'clock Monday morning in the elevator of the American Malting Company at Chicago, destroyed 300,000 bushels of barley, together with the building. The loss, it is said, will be near half a million dollars. TO PROTECT ALIENS. Special Bill Against Lynching Introduced In Congress. Representative Crumpacker, of Indiana, introduced in the house Monday a bill for the punishment of persons taking part in the lynching of an alien. Those who conspire in such lynchings are made subject to death or life imprisonment while meeting to organize such lynching is made a felony. The federal courts are given jurisdiction of such offences and persons who have participated in lynchings are disqualified from serving as jurors. NO 15. Seven Lives Lost In Burning Building Which Was Wrecked By an Explosion. Seven lives were lost in a fire in Broadway street, Buffalo, N. Y., at an early hour Sunday morning. The Pearlsteins and another family lived in rooms above a shoe store and were asleep when the fire started. The watchman told the police later in the day that he accidentally dropped a lamp. A few minutes after the fire began there was a loud explosion that blew out the front of the store and hurled some of the contents of the window into the middle of the street. Plate glass windows on the opposite side of Broadway were shattered and the sound of the explosion was heard two blocks away. The flames enveloped the building in a short time. The family living in the rear flat barely escaped with their lives. The Pearlsteins were awakened, but before they could reach the only stairway leading from their rooms the fire had undermined the floors in the hallway and it collapsed, carrying them down into a mass of flames. Their bodies were found at 8 o'clock, four hours after the firemen had extinguished the flames. The body of the mother and baby were found together, the little one tightly clasped in its mother's arms. Pearlstein's body was found close to that of his wife. He also had one of the children in his arms. The bodies of the other three children were found huddled close together near the father's body. SOUTHERN TRAINS CRASH. Engineer Killed and Several 'People Hurt, Among them Mme, Nordica. As a result of a wreck on the Southern railway early Sunday morning at Reeves Station, 20 miles north of Rome, Ga., Engineer Frank Tracey was instantly killed; Mme. Nordica, the famous singer, was injured; E. R. Simmons, pianist for Mme. Nordica, sustained a badly bruised hand; Guy Connally, engineer of the freight, bruised; George Florence, conductor of the passenger, badly bruised by falling in his car; Ed Lewis, negro fireman, injured. Train No. 9 was a mixed passenger and freight, leaving Atlanta for Chattanooga at 11:30 and arriving at Reeves at 3:30. Engineer Tracey had orders to meet freight No. 55 at Reeves. An extra freight was on the side track at Reeves when the passenger passed and the engineer thought the track was clear. The passenger was making 40 miles an hour when it met the regular freight No. 55 on a sharp curve a mile north of Reeves. The two engines plunged into each other in an instant after they came in sight. Engineer Tracey, of the passenger, leaped, but was caught between two freight cars and crushed to death. The engineer and fireman of the freight escaped by jumping and sustained bad bruises. The engines were total wrecks and a dozen cars destroyed. Senator Morgan Throws Cold Water on Panama Canal Agents. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, has started an investigation of the Panama canal affairs that is causing consternation among its advocates. Saturday he summoned M. Lampre and M. Boeve, agents of the French company, and gave them a bad hour and a half. "Your property is not worth 30 cents," he said. "It makes no difference whether you offer it for $109,000,000, your first bid, or $40,000,000 your last tender, you cannot give clear title. Unless I am much mistaken, the United States will not be alienated into this scheme to rob the French peasantry. If we buy your ditch, we will, for years to come, be confronted with claims from the 500,000 stockholders, whose rights cannot be alienated by any hocus pocus of French or any other courts. This is an attempt to take advantage of the friendship between France and the United States to rob the American government and the French peasants, and I warn you that it will not succeed." Tammany Boss Delegates "Athletes of" the Organization to Louis Mason. Richard Croker announced his retirement from the formal leadership of Tammany Hall, at New York Saturday afternoon. The announcement was made at the meeting of the executive committee at which the plan of organization for the year 1902 was agreed upon. Lewis Nixon was chosen as Mr. Croker's successor, as the chairman of the finance committee. This position, by long usage, carries with it the leadership of the organization.

SATURDAY JANUARY 18, 1902 It is proposed in Indianapolis to erect a monument to Levi Coffin, "who" says "The Indianapolis Journal," "during the stirring times immediately preceding the outbreak of the Civil War was at the head of the organization in Indiana that conducted the famous underground railroad through the medium of which hundreds of black refugees made their way from the slavery of the South to the liberty of the North. The movement has revived interest in the life of Mr. Coffin, and particularly in the period of his career devoted to the assistance of the Southern negroes on their way Northward. While Levi Coffin was a resident of Newport he sheltered for several days Eliza Harris, of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" fame, and it was he who gave the report of her crossing the icebound river to Harriet Beecher Stowe. The man who, near Ripley, assisted Eliza up the Indiana bank of the river, was one of Coffin's assistants and confederates, and, only a few months ago, died in the home which first sheltered the escaping slave after her perilous crossing of the iceflow. Although Mr. Coffin died in his home, near Cincinnati, in 1877, the movement now on foot is to have the monument erected to his memory in this city." "To many in Georgia and South Carolina it will be learned with regret that Dr. J. J. Durham, the will known and greatly beloved pastor of the Second Baptist Church, of Savannah, has been called to a pastorate in New York City," and will accept. Dr. Durham is a native of South Carolina and spit his earlier years in its state. For several years he was overseas Secretary of the Second Baptist Convention, and resigned this work to accept a call to the Savannah church where he succeeded Dr. Alex Els. He has succeeded splendidly in Savannah and his leaving will produce profound sorrow. In Georgia he is prominent connected with our state work and holds several very important positions. 'The Abissian Baptist chrch which calls Dr. Durham to New York is the city, and compounded of some of its oldest and most influential Baptist families. Under the lead rsp of Dr Drham we are confident that old Abyssinian church will renew its strength and growth." The above cupping is taken from the Georgia Baptist. Rumors concerning it have been rife in this community for the past two months, but Dr Durham has set every one at ease by authorizing the statement that he has not accepted the call from the church. In making this announcement the doctor has gladdened the hearts of many of his admirers who are foath to have him leave the city. Since his residence among us he has proven to be such a leader that the race can afford to follow. On all questions that effects us he always stood pat, yielding not an iota of manhood or race principle. At the present, time his absence would be felt greatly and no one rejoices in his determination to remain in our midst more than THE TRIBUNE. Emancipation Address. Following is the conclusion of Rev. Bonner's Emancipation address: THE NEGRO'S FUTURE HOPE. As I said in the outset, I could not do justice to my subj ct; I could not treat it right and your patience thus, you may therefore expect, this part to be concise. As to our future hope, there are many "windy" doctrines as well as there are some plausible ones. I am not a prophet nor am I the son of a prophet, but it seems to me, being "backed up" by the past history and present conditions. I can crack the curtains of the future and penetrate the dark abyss of inturity a little and see a better day for the Negro in his present location. There are men who are more profound in thought, loftier in ideas, and broader in experience than I am or perhaps ever will be, who think and express their thoughts differently to me. As I see it differently to them I shall modestly acknowledge it. There is my own Bishop Holsey's doctrine segregation, Bishop Turner's emigration, ex-Senator Butler's expatriation, John Temple Graves' colonization; T. Thomas Fortune is said to be for amalgamation, Ben Tillman's is extermination. My doctrine is, if you let me coin a word, "stayhereation," and when I say that I mean stay here a separate and distinct race, and the God that has brought us this far can carry us on. The God that has given us the prosperity and progress that we have engaged in the past 35 years will surely not relinquish this care and protection towards us, and we will continue our advancement until we shall reach the place toward which we are wending and for which we are aspiring. P sat in me; in you will excuse me for the term; I will acknowledge it is little strong; but I know no other word of a milder nature that would express my meaning, tell us that our future is very dark, yet dark intensely. When we can hear the shrieks and groans of a distressed Negro; view the dangling rope and sturdy tree with and upon which he soall be hanged, listen at the howling snob of "Southern Gentlemen," watch the ecstatic countenance of ladies and children, see the curling smoke darkened by the blood of the defenseless victim, hear the heavy trump of Law, (?) Justice (?) and Equity (?) as they lead the scene, it is hard to keep from saying, my future is dark here intensely so. When some classes are robbed in legislative halls, when decisions are warped and blamed in judicious castles, when behests are faulty in executive mansions, pessimism, and I am almost ready to say rationally will stand and look at those stupendous halls, lofty castles and massive mansions and address them thus: "O ye houses of human consternation, you have been built as monuments of justice, law and equity, and of decency at least, but with reluctance, I am forced to tell thee, that ye are but glaring deceptions." But one hundred years ago pessimism and rationality would have been as incredulous of our present achievements as they are of our brighter future here. Optimism, another word for which I am almost ready to make an apology tells me everything that happens is for the best. This should be taken with just a little salt, for I truly believe that many things that have happened to my race were harmful then and will never be of any help to them. Then I am able to take a broader view than some when I think of the advancement and achievements in the past forty years by the Negro here; which advancement and achievements I have not time to mention. I can but say our future is bright here, for the grey dawn is already seen in the eastern skies and that tells me the sun is rising. Think of the thirteen or fourteen millions of dollars saved in the state of Georgia alone, while more and much more could have been saved had we been thinking as we are beginning to thing now. Think of the educational and political standing of the Negro in Georgia, which I have not time to mention here in full; if so I would call the many educators and offices, such as Lyons, Rucker, and our own J. H. Deveaux, a man who stands so prominent in the state that in the Georgia Legislature, in the presence of Governor Coudier, in the face of cheap and narrow Tom Hardwick, a bill passed that broke the record of the state, that conferred a title of "Colonel" upon this deserving man for life. I will close by telling you that these things will make oright the fuure of any race anywhere. 'Character, money and education. Character is the most important, education a close second and to money you may say this: "O mighty dollar thy shining face, In quoting these words I will stop. "let us then be up and doing; With a heart for any fate; C. L. BONNER, Pastor St. Paul C. M. E. Church. The Woman. The following was rendered by Mrs. Jauce B. Garner at the Methodist Annual Conference held last month in Brunswick: In behalf of the women of Brunswick, Ga., I am士 cordially welcome the members of the 30th annual conference of the Africa: Methodist Episcopal Church. When John and Charles were good, wood, and what is now known as the famous "Wesley Oak" on St. Simon's island, and tol the story of the Cross, least did they think that their black brothers, who were parents were then in the jungles of Africa, would stand to-day and with the eloquence of Jesus, but with the meekness of the lowy Jesus, tell the same story "saved by grace." History tells us that the Methodists have never been parasites in sending the Light even no less the wave; they have it. "There's a brother whom some one must save," she says. "The denomination and the law the kingdom is known in almost every land. Since recognizing the essential strength of their noble Christian women in the work, the cause has became greater. One writer has truthfully said 'Whatever has gained the affections of a true woman, is in the way, may, enterprise where- in she a sails him. Never before have greater exactions been laid upon a race as upon a Negro of 7-day. Never before are needed truer, more vitius, inteligent Christian women, than are needed in the Negro race. What glory has been reached by any people, the power of its women was to be ladder by which eminence must have been obtained. Thanks to our Supreme Ruler for the unity that exists in religious circles among the Negroes. But one thing the Method is as well as the other, they say the Negro sings: "Take the world but give me Jesus." but the Methodists believe the comorts of life are essentials in serving the Lord, and they will get money when others fail. Will you tell us "where is the key-flower? We are a great people. We know it by our sufferings. These sufferings bring to my mind these wo ds: Metank I heard, the turbulent waves of the Atlantic sighing. When at the bottom of a ship, African slaves were lying. Not as the Pilgrim Fathera came, to wo ship God without fears. These slaves huddled together like cattle, did weep bitter tears. An animal enjoys feeding in its own native heather. kather than be in a love'y' palace of golden tter er. From these c ailed slaves, have emanated men of sterling worth. Who by pen and sword, have become great as the greatest on earth. Douglas, Turner, Bowen, Walker, Bruce, Loveram among our brightest saints. When mothers wore the chalmyy naught to God could stop their prayer. That their sons—Moses and Aarons, may rescue us from bondage. They've been leading, nearly forty yea s, with but few to encourage. But still they, unrelieghly, 'struggle to unplift this great race; Leade a forget not, no cloud's so thick, that'll hide o' the sun's face. With the faithful and, true, God his presence has promised ever, He will bind by a single step, fight on faltering never. May you lead us onward, upward, e'er marching, always praying. We believe God's with us, as through firy trials we're passing. As with great Neopolean, so with the Negro—there're no Alps. The goal is near, into a state, of despair to no pain. Have faith, have hope, have love, through prejudice reigns now to-day. For those who work, those who pray; obstacles will pass away. Let us honor men and women of our race, worthy of praise; Give them a push—a word—if need be s'ence, higher than raise. When the true record of the Negro, to the truth is given. May it resemble Negro women to elevate have striven. The clouds o' ear head hang threatning now, there are seas on ever hand. Praise to God, we can but feel, we're on our way to Cauanus's land. May this banquet feast make us loving and more united. Methodist, Baptist, and all God's people be less divided. This evidence of this conference be felt far and near. That the banner of the Cross be lifted higher ev'rywhere. St. Philips Church Dots.

On one bright morning when matri- monial pleasures seem to be enchanting the air with it, melodys from the haro of joy and peace, and the radiant light of roserity began to cast; lash nays rays upon my pathway, all the surro-nding country was cloaked in the garments of a beautiful sun-day, that one of the a dest and most memorable incidents in the history of my life occurred, which will never disappear from memory as long as life exists. It was an occasion on which that one whom I honore I loved, and cherish d was snatched amid all these pleas its surroundings and promising futures rom the scenes of this life to witness those painted and buried in the eternal by the omnipotent Father. Though from my loving arms you have been summoned Emma: to join heaven's innumerable hosts and there mingle your vice with the choristers of that choir wha never ceasing music glorifies God, I yet love you and always will because to me you have always been a devoted wife, a devoted mother, a devoted mate from the rising of our marriage to its evening shades, when death put into execution heaven's command. These worthy, fitting and apt utterances relative to your faithfulness to me are only marked evidences of my appreciation of the same, and devotion to you which erected in my heart a loving monument dedicated to your me norv So she o resting in the arms of Jesus, And I hope when the sun of my life will have gone down behind yon aged hills of etern tey. I hope to meet you there and be- where you will be, where no battle pains, nor ravage fields nor smoke homestead mark its peacful march, no cannon rar no bayonets flash through the battles murderous smoke, no firey charge-prances, no gaudy unif rams of mortal death, no garb of immortality marches on and bivouacs upon heaven's eternal ground in the presence of an admiring God.

Williams, and sister of Mrs. Patheenia Giles, died on Saturday evening last, after an illness of about seven years. She was buried from St Philips A. M. E church on Monday afternoon. The service was conducted by Rev. O. C. Cargile, D. D. He spoke feelingly of the deceased and commended her faithfulness to the church and the cause she espoused. Every one in the large audience was affected by the manner in which Rev. Cargile pictured the life of the deceased. He was assisted in the service by Rev. W. O. P. Sherman. Mrs. Williams was one of the oldest and most esteemed of our citizens. She was born in Darien, Ga., about seventy-five years ago, and came to this city when quite young. Then she was known as Miss Eliza Sauches. For many years she was recognized as one of the leading dress-makers of Savannah. She was married to Mr. James Williams, a well-to-do farmer of Emanuel county. He died soon after the marriage, leaving her to care for two small boys, Charles and George. Notwithstanding the fact that Charles was only three years old and George two months old at the time of their father's death, yet Mr. Williams struggled and made many a sacrifice in rearing them to manhood. The former son died about thirteen years ago, and Mr. Geo. S. Williams survives her. He has been her source of comfort and help during the several years of her illness. His devotion to her during this time has been the cause of much favorable comment, and that made by Dr. Cargile in his eulogy is approved by every one acquainted with the circumstances. While Mr. Williams tenderly cared for his mother during her illness he finally had the last preparation for burial very befitting. She was buried in a manner that could not be excelled. Mrs. Williams was one of the oldest and most faithful members of St. Philips church. Site has held several important positions both in church and different societies with which she was connected. In her death the race has lost one of its noblest and truest women, and her son one of the best and purest Christian mothers. He and the other relatives have the sympathy of the community. Died of Apoplexy. Died of Apoplexy. Mr. James E Whiteman died at 4:30 o'clock on Monday morning last at his late residence on Houston street. He had not been in the best of health for the past year or more, but was only prevented from attending to his regular duties about three days during the past summer, until Friday night of last week when he became seriously ill. He was unconscious from that time until his death, which resulted from apoplexy. After his death his remains were taken to the residence of his son, Mr. W. J. Whiteman, on Nicoll street, from where the funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon. The service was conducted by Rev. J. J Dutham, D.D. The deceased was a member of Hilton Lodge No. 2, A.F. and A.M., and the G.E. Club. These institutions along with the numerous acquaintances of the deceased a tended the funeral. Mr. Whiteman at the time of his death was in his forty-fifth year. He was well-known in the city. In his early life he was quite a church worker and was connected with the famous Braham Club, which had among its members some of the best singers in the city. For a number of years he conducted a bar room on Oglethorpe avenue, until about three years ago he was placed in charge of Lincoln Park. He was also keeper of the gallery door of the theatre, and at one time was chairman of the R-publican Executive Committee of this county. The honorary pall bearers were Capt. L. M. Pleasant, Dr. J. Henry Bugg, Messrs. J. W. Armstrong, and J. D. Bonghes. The deceased left a wife, a daughter, Mrs. Jennie E. Wilkins, of New York, three sons, Mesars. W.

Term begins the first Wednesday address The Move Has No Connection With Germany's Troubles—Castro Prepared to Flee the Country If Necessary. A Washington special says: The finish of President Castro is in sight if the advises which the government has had from Venezuela reflect the situation properly, and it is believed that the growth of the revolution against the Venezuelan dictator president has been steady and certain, and it is now believed that he cannot long withstand the combination of forces against him. Castro is said to feel this and has on the quiet made all necessary preparations to disappear when things get too hot for him, having already sent large amounts of money for deposit in Paris banks. It leaked out at the navy department Friday that orders are in preparation, if they have not already been sent, directing Rear Admiral Higginson and the north Atlantic squadron to proceed to Venezuela waters and take up headquarters at La Guayra. This move, it is made plain, has nothing to do with Germany's trouble with Venezuela, but is made in the conviction that the Castro government cannot exist much longer. It is feared by the authorities that the triumph of the revolutionary forces would bring such a state of uncertainty as would almost breed lawlessness and it is essential there should be a good American squadron to look after American interests. It was also deemed highly essential that in any such event the ranking naval officer on the scene should be an American, hence an admiral is sent. In any concert action by the foreign navies Admiral Higginson would be in command. It is significant that the ships of the squadron have recently been equipped with larger complements of marines than usual, indicating the belief in the minds of the authorities that landing parties will be needed. In addition to the admiral's flagship, the Kearsage, there will be the battle ships Alabama and Massachusetts, and these will soon be joined by the battleship Illnols. Other smaller vessels may be assigned to the squadron later. The ships which Admiral Higginson will take with him on this cruise will have an unusually large complement of marines aboard. PLAY BEGETS FALSE IDEAS. Lexington, Kentucky, Women Opposed to "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Lexington chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, has sent a written petition to Charles B. Scott, manager of the opera house in Lexington, Ky., asking that the play, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," never be played again at the opera house there. They gave as their reasons that the best citizens and old families living in and around Lexington were once slave owners; that the incidents of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" are not typical of slave life in the south, but of isolated cases; that the production and its advertisement with bloodhounds and pictures of an old negro in chains and a slave owner with a whip in his hand present a false idea of the history of the times to the children of the city, and are in disrespect to the southern gentlemen and good citizens and their faintilies in this part of the country. .

An Albany lawyer with a penchant for billiards, had occasion, recently to visit a small town. While there, seeking to pass the time, he found a new and excellent billiard tilt. Upon his inquiring if there was anybody about who could play, the landlord referred him to one of the natives, who may be called John Jones, because that isn't his name. They played several games, but the result was against the Albany lawyer. Try as he might the countryman won. "Mr. Jones," he remarked, "I have quite a reputation at home. They consider me a good billiard player, but I'm not in your class. May I inquire how long you have flayed?" "Oh, fer a spell back," replied the native.

PINKHAM:—I was in an awful state for nearly three years with a complication of female troubles which three physicians called by different names, but the pains were all the same. I dreaded the time of my MARIELLE L. LAMONTE monthly periods for it meant a couple of days in bed in awful agony. I finally made up my mind that the good doctors were, guessing; and hearing from different friends such good reports of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I tried that. I bless the day I did, for it was the dawning of a new life for me. I used five bottles before I was cured, but when they were taken I was a well woman once more. Your Compound is certainly wonderful. Several my friends have used them both, but the day I did I ever hear from its name. Your MARLELE L.

His Testimony Deeply Implicates Both Rathbone and Nesly in Cuban Postal Frauds. When the trials of the cases arising from the Cuban postoffice frauds were resumed in the audencia court Friday at Havans after having been adjourned Tuesday last on account of the illness of counsel for Charles F. W. Neely, W. H. Reeves, one of the defendants, was again called to the stand and testified regarding the stamp burning incident. He said the stamps were not counted and that Neely told him Estes G. Rathbone acquiesced in the whole matter. The government has finished the examination of Reeves and he will next be cross-examined by counsel for Neely and Rathbone. It was evident throughout Reeves' testimony that the charge against all the defendants is based on Reeves' statements, for the fiscal conducted his examination by questions from a typewritten copy of the accusation, and Reeves' testimony substantiated the conclusions drawn in the accusation. Reeves said that Rathbone had appointed him chief postal accountant, but that he had originally been appointed to this position from Washington. He said that he had a conversation with Neely about the destruction of the stamps; that Neely told him Rathbone was willing to do business, and that the stamps had been burned at the suggestion of Neely. Marfield did not know of the intended fraud. He figured up the amount of the value and marked each package of stamps, amounting to a total of $310,000. Reeves testified that Neely made up a declaration and that some days afterwards he, Neely, and Marfield signed it. Rathbone, he said, ordered him to credit the amount on the books. Here Senor Lanuza called attention to Reeves' statement, in Assistant Postmaster Bristow's report that Reeves did not know fraud had been committed when he had made the credit in the books. Reeves refused to recognize the printed statements as his. Reeves said that before burning the large surcharged stamps, amounting to $22,000, Neely told him that the amount credited for the first burning was wrong and that there was $15,000 to be divided up between him, Neely and Rathbone. Reeves testified that Neely told him that Rathbone had paid off a mortgage in Cincinnati with this money. Shortly after this Reeves said that Rathbone, in referring to the burning of the stamps, said that it was an easy way to make money. He said that Neely told him that Rathbone would be civil governor of Cuba, and that they, would benefit thereby, because Neely would be treasurer of the island and Reeves auditor. Reeves also testified that Neely had credited $12,000 in his own department in changing accounts to the Northern Trust Company and that he (Neely) had appropriated this amount. Regarding Rathbone's trip to the United States in October, 1899, Reeves said that $1,500 had been drawn for expenses and that Rathbone returned him $673. He said that he thought Neely gave Rathbone $480 of this amount and that Neely said that Rathbone was hard up and that he would return it when he got an increase of salary. When the question of daily expense allowance came up, Reeves testified that he told Rathbone that in the absence of any instructions discontinuing this allowance he should continue it when Neely went to the United States. Reeves said further just before his arrest Neely left an envelope containing $4,600 upon his (Reeve's) desk, telling him to fix up the accounts. Reeves said he afterwards gave this money to General Wood, telling him that Neely had been stealing. Jubilation In Nicaragua. There is great rejoicing in the official circles in Nicaragua over the news by cable that the Nicaraguan canal bill has passed the house of representatives. The National band at Nicaragua played "Hail Columbia," and salutes were fired from the battery. BOERS READY TO YIELD? Rumors in London Says Peace Overtures Will Soon Be Made. The London Globe's financial editor said a report which came from well informed quarters was current in the city Friday that the Boer chiefs had made overtures to the British government to the effect that they were prepared to lay down their arms, provided they were not exiled. Wednesday next is Boer feast day, and it was said the surrender of the Boers would probably occur then. The war office officials asserted that no proposals to surrender had been received from the Boers. Officially Reported that Miss Stone Will Be Liberated at Ones. The release of Miss Ellen M. Stone by the brigands who have held her in captivity since September 3 is believed to be only a question of hours. An official telegram received in London Friday afternoon, which was dispatched from Constantinople, matters midday says the release of Miss Stone is imminent. BLUE BERAD REALLY EXISTED. The Fantastic Rulns of His Castle Still in Brittany. Blue Beard has existed in reality. To be sure, he had not married seven wives, but had only one wife and a daughter, whom he never threatened with violent death; still, the enmorties of which he has been guilty are not excelled by the crimes of our hero of the nursery. The original Blue Beard was Gilles de Laval, Lord of Retz, who was made Marshal of France in 1492, and in the reigns of Charles VI and VII distinguished himself by his courage against the English when they invaded France. He was born in the castle of Machecoul, in Vendée, in 1404. In 1420, at the age of sixteen, he married Catherine de Thouars, a girl of the same age. A loyal patriot and valiant knight, he fought at the side of Jeanne d'Arc in all the battles against the English, and until her death, remained her faithful companion in arms. Giles de Retz was the richest man in Brittany and one of the richest in France. He owned cities, villages and towns and castles in Brittany, in Anjou and Vedee. His personal property was estimated at over $1,000,000, an immense amount in his time. But all this fortune was sacrificed to his passion for art and literature, music and the stage. The services which he rendered his country might have immortalized his name had he not forever blotted his glory by murders, impleties and debaucheries, to which he was led by his ambition to outdo princes and kings in magnificence, pomp and power. In order to build up a new fortune he became an alchemist. He encouraged and maintained sorcerers to discover hidden treasures, and corrupted young persons of both sexes that he might attach them to him, and afterwards killed them for the sake of their blood for his charms and incantations. The children disappeared by hundreds in Brittany and Vendes. At length he was arrested and, being found guilty of numerous atrocities, was sentenced, together with his two accomplices, to be buried alive in a field at Nantes in 1440. Gilles de Retz, who, at his conviction, was thirty-six years old, is described as a portly man of high stature and great muscular strength. His abundant, glossy hair was "blond", his eyes "blue", his swallowtail shaped beard as well as his long eyelashes "black". He was clad all in black. The reflections of this sombre costume mingled with those of his light hair, and made his beard appear of a blush-black color. Hence his surname Blue Beard, by which he is known even today in all those parts of Brittany, Anjou and Vendee, where the fantastic ruins of his castles are still in existence. THE MAIN POINT.
