VOL. XIX. ST.LOUIS IS CHOSEN Committee Meets in Washington and Has Harmonious Session—Territorial Considerations Entered Into Balloting. The democratic national committee met at the Shoreham hotel in Washington Tuesday for the purpose of deciding on the time and place for holding the next democratic convention. The convention was called to order at noon by Chairman James K. Jones, of Arkansas. Among those present with proxies were Senator DuBols, of Idaho; Representative Lind, of Minnesota, and Joseph K. Ohl, for Georgia. - The meeting of the committee was entirely harmonious. Much of the morning session, practically all of it, was devoted to the contest for committee place from the District of Colombia. For eight years there has been war between two factions in the District. Chairman Jones had endeavored to settle this temporarily by naming his former secretary, Edwin Sefton, as District of Columbia member, but a large element of the committee wanted James L. Norris. In order that there might be no embarrassment, Mr. Sefton declined the appointment, and then, after a good deal or discussion, the whole matter was referred to a special committee, which has the effect of carrying it over to the next meeting of the committee, which will be just before the assembling of the national convention. At 1:30 the committee took a recess until 3 o'clock, when the various cities which are applicants for the convention will be given thirty minutes each to present their claims. This included New York, Chicago and St. Louis. After a lively contest St. Louis was selected as the place, and July 6 as the date of the convention. The conditions of 1896 are, therefore reversed. In that memorable year the republicans met at St. Louis and the democrats at Chicago. St. Louis won primarily because the offer of that city was considered the better. New York was never a serious opponent. The Chicago proposition included a contribution of forty thousand dollars toward defraying the convention expenses, but out of this would have to come payment for the convention hall. The St. Louis people offered at least forty-five thousand dollars and the free use of the great coliseum. In the balloting over the question of place, territorial considerations figured largely. The members living nearest Chicago supported that city, while those people more conveniently located with reference to St. Louis, cast their votes for the exposition city. Then, too, the fact that the exposition would be in full blast was in St. Louis' favor. The balance of power was, however, held by the half dozen members who on the first ballot voted for New York. They all went to St. Louis on the second ballot. There is no significance to the committee's action so far as possible presidential nominees are concerned. There was no talk of possibilities in this line and the lines were at no time drawn in a way that could possibly be construed as having bearing for or against any presidential possibility. TO PREVENT BLOODSHED. Basis for International Arbitration Discussed at Special Conference Discussed at Special Conference. A conference called to form a basis for an arbitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain and for extension of arbitration throughout, the world was held in Washington Tuesday. There was a notable array of speakers present, the messages of indorsement were received from many others. CHAPLAN REFERS TO GORDON. Senators Perceptibly Moved by Invocation of Rev. Hale. A. Washington special says: Rev. Edward Everett Hale, the senate chaplain, made a tender allusion to General John B. Gordon in the prayer before the senate Monday morning. He said: Our Father, Thou art pleased to call from us from day to day, to our best loved ones, those who have been leaders of their people in days of peril and hardship. Teach us to be resigned to Thy will, and that we are but Thy children after all. A. PROCLAMATION Issued by Governor Terrell, of Georgia, on the Death of.General Gordon—A Touching Eulogy. Governor Terrell of Georgia, issued the following proclamation on the death of General Gordon: State of Georgia, Executive Department, Atlanta, January 11, 1904. ment, Kaltha, January 4, 1904. It has pleased Almighty God to take from the scenes of this earth the intropid soldier, lofty patriot, Christian statesman, fervid, orator and umblemished civilian, Gen. John B. Gordon. The loss sustained by his temporal end is sorely felt in every home in Georgia and the south; and his passage effects every home in America, for he was a commanding ideal of chivalry and patriotism that challenged the admiration of the entire country. On the field of battle he was Georgia's White Plumed Knight, shedding upon all the varying ranks held by him, from captain to lieutenant, general, each of which he won with the bright lance of Merit, a lustre that will endure with the memory of heros. The spiritual prototype of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, his end, which would have been untimely in any hour, floods the south with a thousand sacred and tearful memories. In the dark and gloomy days of Reconstruction he was as staunch as patriotism is true, and as unfaltering as duty is sublime. As United States senator, then governor, and again United States senator, he discharged his civic relations with signal ability, fidelity and patriotism. His spiritual promotion creates a vacuum in the ranks of this earth, while his eternal departure has cast upon the state a cloud of sorrow that will not dispel. A most remarkable career has been wrapped in the drapery of death. The glittering lance has fallen from the grasp of the vallant knight; the immortal soul has returned to the bosom of its Maker; the magnetic figure now awaits the halo of the grave. Our Gordon is no more. Therefore, in view of the great sorrow that hangs heavily upon the people, and as a mark of respect to the revered memory of Georgia's noble son, it is requested that the people in the various cities, and towns of the state assemble between 10 o'clock a.m. and 11 o'clock m. of Thursday, the 14th day of January, the hours set apart for the funeral service, for the purpose of paying tribute to their dead hero; and to this end, the mayors of the different cities and towns, and commanders of the respective camps of Confederate veterans are appointed committees in charge of these memorial ceremonies. It is further Ordered: That a guard of honor from the Fifth regiment of the Georgia State Troops be stationed around his remains as they lie in state, the offices of the capitol be closed during the day set apart for his funeral, and the state flags be displayed at half mast for ten days. Given under my hand, and the seal of the executive department, at the capitol, in the city of Atlanta, on this, the eleventh day of January, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Four. J. M. TERRELL, Governor. The Remains of General Gordon Lay in State In Florida Town. The body of General John B. Gordon was removed from his late residence at Biscayne to Miami at an early hour Monday morning, accompanied by a detachment of state guards. On arrival the body was placed in the Presbyterian church, where it lay in state, guarded by Company L, State Guards. Hundreds of visitors, anxious to gain a last gilmpe of the dead hard, entered the church silently and gazed upon the calm face, their eyes eloquent with sorrow. Evidences of popular grief were visible on all sides. Georgia herself could not show more clearly her poignant grief for her own Gordon than does Florida for the loss of the knightly chevalier whose name is enshrined in the hearts of all southerners and is loved and revered by all Americans. HAY COMING SOUTH. Secretary Slated for a Visit to Thomas J. Ga. to Recruce A Washington special says: Secretary of State Hay will probably run down to Georgia for a rest immediately after the 1st of January. He has been confined to home by a very stubborn cold for some days, and is considering the advisability of a short rest away from the scene of his labors. If he leaves Washington, he will go to Thomasville, where he will be the guest of Colonel Oliver Payne, and be at his home on the outskirts of Georgia's summer white REYES IN A HUFF Colombia's Envoy.Makes a Threat But is Ignored. Declared to Secretary Hay, that He Would Make Public Their Corre- A Washington special says: General Rafael Reyes in his late note to the state department, threatened to publish the correspondence between himself and the state department if the department did not see fit to send it to the senate or make it public. The department ignored the threat. General Reyes, the Colombian envoy who has been in Washington in connection with the Panama matter for about a month, left the city at midnight Monday night for New York, preparatory to his departure for Colombia in a few days. The departure of General Reyes does not constitute the breaking off of diplomatic relations with the United States, but merely the suspension of the negotiations which have been going on with the state department, having in view the reintegration of Panama as a part of the United States of Colombia. Whether they will be resumed hereafter is not known. Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge, remains in Washington to attend to legation business other than Panama matters. Advices) which have reached Washington from Colombia show that there is still considerable excitement there over the attitude the United States has taken in the Panama matter. General Reyes made a farewell call on Secretary Hay Monday morning. He endeavored to show General Reyes the futility of Colombia's efforts to regain Panama, but regards the matter as still open to further efforts toward a peaceful adjustment. Morgan Loses Buchanan Flight The senate in executive session Monday laid on the table the motion to reconsider the confirmation of the nomination of W. I. Buchanan, to be minister to Panama. The vote was 38 to 16, divided on party lines, with the exception of Senator McCreary, democrat, of Kentucky, who voted with the republicans. By this action Mr. Buchanan now has full powers to act for this government in all diplomatic exchanges between the United States and the new republic. The motion to reconsider the confirmation was made before the holidays by Senator Morgan, thus withholding for three weeks Mr. Buchanan's commission as minister. In the meantime Mr. Buchanan had arrived on the isthmus, where he occupied the position of a private citizen, except for a special commission to act as the personal representative of the president in gathering information regarding existing conditions there. Senator Morgan took the floor when the senate went into executive session Wednesday. He made a general protest against the confirmation of Mr. Buchanan as minister, on the ground that the position to which the president had made the appointment was not in existence at the time the appointment was made, and could not be created without the co-operation of the senate. Senator Spooner answered for the republicans. He cited numerous authorities and precedents in support of the president's action. Senator Allison also spoke briefly in support of the administration, while Senators Bacon and Culberson favored the democratic contention. The motion to lay Mr. Morgan's motion on the table was made by Mr. Lodge. In open senate Mr. Morgan, introduced a concurrent resolution calling upon the president to proceed, under the terms of the Spooner act, to construct an isthmus canal by the Costa Rica and Nicaragua route. The resolution went over under the rule. MACHEN TRIAL IS ON. Postal Fraud, Case Being Alred In District of Columbia Court. The trial of August W. Machen, the Groff Bros., and Dr. and Mrs. George E.

Mr. O'Neal became prominent all over the south several months ago when he was sentenced by Judge Charles Swayne, of the United States court, to serve sixty days for contempt of court. He has never served this time, appealing the case to the United States supreme court. He afterwards pushed the charges of impeachment against Judge Swayne both in the Florida legislature and in congress and had gathered together much of the data to be presented to the congressional committee on judiciary. Besides being president and one of the heaviest stockholders in the American national bank, he was president of the Enterprise Banking Company, of Enterprise, Ala., and director in the national banks of Milton and Marianna, Fla., and Andalusia and Greenville, Ala./ He was one of the most prominent and wealthy citizens of his section.

The first action of the South Carolina legislature, which assembled in Columbia Tuesday, was to adopt a concurrent resolution providing that the funeral of General Gordon should be attended by the governor, the chief justice, three senators, and five members of the house. This action was taken immediately on a special message being received from Governor Howard, notifying the legislature of General Gordon's death of which services he spoke in chapel and sending them Recommendation, Fe ru na--Other Pre- minent Men Tested COMMODORE Nicholson Commodore Somerville Nicholson, of the United States Navy, in a letter from 1837 R St., N.

King, Carlos, who dreams of swallowing, Spain and setting himself up as the Iberian emperor, has just been informed that his navy is unable to protect Portuguese subjects in his own possessions. For some time a pirate ship, or slayer, has been stealing abducted Portuguese citizens of the Azores, along the seaboard, even in the interior, armed, practicing navalizing the country districts and carrying off any made person they could catch, provided the man looked healthy and capable of hard work. Three gunboats stationed at Fayer were sent to hunt for the slayer, which, however, made good her escape during the night. The slave ship carried the captured men to South American plantations, it has alleged, where they are kept as slaves and treated like prisoners. Over a hundred men have been abducted in this manner since spring and the Portuguese navy is seemingly unable to catch up with the pirates. The Taste For Horsesflesh. The taste for horsesflesh is steadily on the increase in Paris. A retinary and sanitary report just issued states that in 1896 at the public abattoirs 21,430 horses, asses and mules were slaughtered for the different dealers in horse flesh in the France capital. In 1897 the number was 22,484, in 1901 29,683, in 1902 32,624. Of the number in this last year these were 31,790 horses, 485 asses and 49 mules. Much of this food is sold in the shape of sausages.

Gordon, Georgia has lost one of her noblest men. When General Gordon was governor of this state he commissioned, many colored officers and always resisted all attempts taking the disbandment of their company. A telegram expressing the sorrow of the officers of the colored state of Georgia has been forwarded to an Adjutant-General. Officer Pledger's Funeral. The announcement of the death of Hon. W. A. Pledger in our last issue was a great shock to Savannahians and to the people of this section of Georgia among whom he had hundreds of warm personal friends. Colt Pledger was one of the leading republicans of Georgia and a great race leader of this people in the entire country. He was aggressive and fearless in advocating and defending the interest and welfare of his people. He could not be intimidated or cooled into any measure that tended in any way to limit the rights of the race. He was bold, determined and unflinching in advocating equal rights and the recognition of the manhood equality of the entire people of the country, and in his death the colored people has lost one of their ablest champions and his loss will be universally regretted by them. The funeral of Col. Pledger took place at Bathel A. M. E. church in Atlanta on Sunday, the large edifice being literally packed by his friends in Atlanta and from other parts of the state. The services were conducted by Rev. G. C. Cargile the pastor, the choir aing the favorite hymns of the deceased and a special, favorite rendered by Mrs. H. E. Harris. Eulogistic remarks on the life of Col. Pledger were made by H. L. Johnson, Esq, Mr. Pledger's law partuer, Rev. Bryant, Rt. Rev. Bishop H. M. Turner, and Col. J. H. Daveaux of Savannah. From Bethel the body accompanied by the family, were taken to the town, and with an escort of prominent citizens were conveyed to citizens, where they were met by a delegation of citizens and proceeded to the A. M. Echurch which was crowded to show the last tribute of respect and to view the remains. Rev. Fitzpatrick the pastor, spoke fervently and elementally of the deceased and was followed by Mr. M. B. Morton, Hon. H. A. Runker and Col Dereaux who had promised the dead fighten for his people, to be with him to the end. A great light has gone out in the death of W. A. Pledger whose remains rests on a little hill in view of the city of Athens. Ajax's Sayings. Among our New Years resolutions let these find a place: To read, at least, twelve good books a year; to make, at least, twelve new friends; to save, at least, 12 per cent of our income; to make, at least, twelve people happy. Finally to do with all our might what our hands find to do and unto others as we would that they would do unto us. Have you ever thought of this: that a perfect gentleman is almost as rare among us as a perfect lady? Would that we had an army of both good, clean, honest, well-bred, thorough men and women. Not what you can but what you say makes you prosperous. The death of Miss Jennie Hounstoun last week removes an excellent, fine-souled young woman. The family has my sympathy. If a wholesome, sweet-tempered life, has any reward beyond, Jennis is happy there. Nearly two million dollars were added to the Negro wealth of Georgia last year, about equally divided between city and country property. We pay taxes how on nearly $17,500, 000 in Georgia. That's not so bad. Let us make it even twenty millions this year as a starter for the twentieth century. Jackson and Perry then travel box in West Broad street. I have seen many colored pastels in my time and this place compares favorably with the Keystone in Chicago and Nails Bros. in New York. Every Negro in town who takes a "ball" now and then ought to walk a mile to take it there. No more bus- relouses or partitioned counters; get our "booze" money when we can drink in; albar as fine as the DeSoto or Pnlaaski. That's right, follows. If you're going to have a bar, have the best in the south. Senator Gorman has shown this great ability as a leader again in the Panama matter. He advises his the Democratic Senators to oppose the canal treaty and they, knowing the sentiment of their section, laugh at him and will vote for it. In this case they are following our "Ted." He's a much better leader than the man from Maryland who is against every American who is black. Gorman is only a practical politician. He is not Presidential material at all, and he is showing his unfitness for even the Democratic nomination every day. That he is considered a possibility shows what straits the party is in for a candidate Are you going to patronize Negroes in business this year, wherever practicable? Do so. Subscribe for THE TRIBUNE, or some other good Negro weekly; buy dry goods and shoes from W. S. Scott; have a Negro physician, lawyer, and dentist, and as soon as the Colored American Friendly Society opens their grocery store, buy your groceries from a Negro too. Let's spend our money among ourselves. Finally, brethern, in the language of Paul, let us press forward to the things that are before—success, and happiness. Ajax. College Dots.

Mr. Willie Jordani, the son of our fellow-citizen Mr.-C. G. Jordan, died on Thursday night of last week at the residence of his father, East Waldburg street, after an illness of four months. Had he lived until March he would have been 17 years of age. He became a member of the First Congregational Church when he was 12 years of age. He graduated from the East Broad-street school in 1902 and was also a student of the G. S. L. O., when he went to Jacksonville, Fl., where he spent several months at which place he contracted a severe cold. Returning home he went to work for his father. Young Jordan was an industrious boy and his father had planned to have him returned, to the College. Although he suffered much yet he was resigned to die. His remains were taken to Byron, Gar, where the funeral took place on Sunday from the First Congregational Church. Rev. H. T. Johnson conducted the services and a large number of friends were in attendance. The remains were buried by the side of Mrs Jordan. The father has the sympathy of all of his friends.

PINKHAM:—Ignorance and neglect are the cause of untold female suffering not only with the laws of health but with the chance of a cure. I did not heed the warnings of headaches, organic pains, and general weariness, until I was well nigh prostrated. I knew I had to do something. Happily I did the right thing. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound faithfully, according to directions, and was rewarded in a few weeks to find that my aches and pains disappeared, and I again felt the glow of health through my body. Since I have been well I have been more careful, I have also advised a number of my sick friends to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and they have never had reason to be sorry. Yours very truly, Mrs. MAY FAIRBANKS, 216 South 7th St., Minneapolis, Minn." (Mrs. Fairbanks is one of the most successful and highest salaried travelling saleswomen in the West.) When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation, weakness, leucorrhea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating (or flatulence), general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lessitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, "all-gone" and "want-to-be-left-alone" feelings, blues, and hopelessness, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine, for you need the best. "Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—For over two years I suffered more than tongue can express with kidney and bladder trouble. My physician pronounced my trouble catarrh of the bladder, caused by displacement of the womb. I had a frequent desire to urinate, and it was very painful, and lumps of blood would pass with the urine. Also had backache very often. "After writing to you, and receiving your reply to my letter, I followed your advice, and feel that you and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound have cured me. The medicine drew my womb into its proper place, and then I was well. I never feel any pain now, and can do my housework with ease."—Mrs. Alice Lamon, Kincaid, Miss.

There is a happy timeliness in the appearance in Harper's Magazine of Mr. Ray Stannard Baker's article on The Scientist and the Food Problem." In it he states the facts in connection with the exhaustion of the soil in agricultural countries, particularly by the depletion of nitrogenous products, which are the greatest of all natural fertilizers. "The problem," he says, "as seen by the pessimists, is simple: The world is reaching the limits of its capacity for food production, while the population continues to increase enormously: How soon will starvation begin?" But Mr. Baker is not pessimistic. "When man seems just at the limit of his resources, science and invention step in and open new fields, literally as well as figuratively." The writer proceeds to give an account of the fine work in scientific fertilization that is being accomplished. Almost simultaneously with the publication of this useful article comes the announcement that two American electrochemists, Mr. C. S. Bradley and Mr. D. R. Lovejoy, have perfected an invention by which the nitrogen of the atmosphere is readily turned to nitric acid and made available, in abundance and at a moderate cost, for agricultural fertilization and commercial use. The fixation of nitrogen is effected by electrochemical treatment of the atmosphere. The inventors of the process seem to have arrived at this important achievement by following up a clue furnished by Dr. Priceley, a famous physicist, as long ago as the eighteenth century. Sir William Crookes, too, recently proposed that nitrogen be obtained in this way. There are seven tons of nitrogen gas weighing down every square yard of the surface of the earth. Thus building the size of Carnegie Music Hall holds about twenty-seven tons of nitrogen, and if this could be fixed in the form of nitrate of soda it would be worth at least $10,000. The immense importance of the new invention may be gathered from the following remarks of Mr. Baker in the article before mentioned: "The failure of the nitrogen of the soil and the inability to supply it in sufficient quantities by artificial means has formed the basis of the predictions of coming starvation made by Sir William Crookes and others. Indeed, if the world ever starves, it will be from lack of nitrogen; and yet if such starvation takes place, it will be in a world full of nitrogen." FIXING THE BLAME. "The trouble ain't with the farm," said the old man. "If the farm didn't have to do anything but support itself it could be made to pay, but it don't seem to be able to carry the burden of us livin' on it, so I reckon we're to blame." —Chicago Post.
