In the audl- ehice were representatives of a num- er of prominent women’s organia- tions, which have been active in cir- ‘culating and having presented peti- tions of remonstrance agalust Smoot. Theje women secured many thou- sands of signatures to thelr petitions, which were seat to the senate in ela. coretely bound volumes. Sendjors Bacon and Clay of Geor- sia, Tilman and Latimer of South Garolina, and the democrats gener- ally, voted for expulsion. The repub- licxn defenders of Smoot sought to correct the statements that he had practiced! polygamy, and several ad- dresses by Senators Beveridge, Knox and other$ have been made In his support. Sbnator Bacon declared his reason for voting against Smoot was that, while !probably not a polygamist Ahimself, he was an apostle and mem. Der of the, governing body of the Mormon chuteh, and as such counten- anced polygainy, and favored union of church and state. a As 4 o'clork arrived, when, by acreement, tie voting was to besin, Senator Footie offered his amend, ment to the committee resolution, and At was adopted; under the amend- ‘nent a two-thirds vote would have Deert necessary ‘ta Garry the resolu- Hon, which declared that Dr. Smoot is not entitled] to his seat. ‘Then came the vote on the commit. ice resolutions as amended,. which wis as follows; “Resolved, two-thirds of the sena- tors present, concurring therein, that Reed Smoot iS not entitled to a seat ay a senator ,of the United States from the state) of Utah.” Altiongh it }ras a foregone conclu- sion that the }resolutfon would fall, und thus end fhe long fight against ihe Uteh senatdr, the roll call contata- ed some surprifes. Ot the forty-two yates in favor ff Senator Smoot, three weke cast by democrats. They were Messrs. PlackBurn, Clark of Montana and Denlel. Stnator Teller was pair- ei lu favor off Smoot. Of the twenty- elght votes akalnst Mr. Smoot ‘nine ‘were republicans. ‘At the covfclusion of the voting athere was a feaah of republican sena- tors to the choal: room to congratulate ‘Mf, Smoot. A large nfimber of members of the house followed, and there the senior Utah senator was patted upon the back, and ‘nis hands were shaken in hearty “faghion. On the floor of the senate ang In the galleries it was many minutes before order could be restored. \ In the debate Mr. DuBols took direct issue with Senator Knox’s recent statement? “Polygamy in Utah hes ended.” “Bie Out of the twelve apostles hava gone into it since the mani- festo,” rted Mr. DuBois. “The president, of the church performed the cererbony between an apostle and his fourth wite,” he added. “Senator Smoot Is the son of polysamfst. His father had four wives. When bh reached the age of man- hod he}married a polygamist child, his wifq being the daughter of a fourth vite of her father, I would not saygthis 1f it hurt the feelings ‘of the $enator. It does not. No one iv Utahfjwill blame him for it. Many wit hogbr him.” Concfiding Bir. DuBols declared there Jere not ten senators who would vote for Mr. Smoot if they naa Aead the testimony. “Gut I know that strong influences arg at work here. The president of iUnited States 1s the open friend of the senator from Utah. You all kqnow it. The country knows it. He: vyants him seated. You have got tho formon vote. You haye every one {t. them, my friends, on the republi- can side. But st has cost you the moral support of the Christian wo- men and men ‘of the United States.” POSTOFFICE BILL PASSED Ninety Per Cent of Employes of Serv- ice Are Granted More Pay—Ap- propriation Largest Ever. __ A Washington special says: The Dostofiice appropriation bill, the larg- est ever ‘reported from the commit- tee on postofiices and postroads, pass- ed the house Wednesday. All the provisions relating to increased pay, affecting 90 per cent of the postal employees, which were stricken dut on points of order, were restored to the Dill. This action was accomplished by a mule presented by the committee ou rules after the bill had been re- ported to the house by the commit: tee of the whole. 8 Mr. Clayton of Alabama presented an amendment providing that fourth- class postoffices should not be discon- tinuea unless fifteen days notice had Deen given to the representative or delegate in congress from the dis- ‘trict In which such postoffice is lo cated ‘Zhe amendment was ruled out on a point of order. When ‘the item appropriating $17, 439,900 for the pay of employees ot the railway mails was reached Mr. Macon of “Mrkansas made the point of order against the paragraph that it Increased salaries. Br. Overstreet of Indiana, in charge ot the bill, earnestly protest- ed against the point for the reason that if the appropriation be stricken out it would do away with the rait “way mail service and eripple the en- tire postal system. - Mr. Macon sald it was mighty strange how some persons could make ‘points of order, even to the extent of protecting the raflroads; he made a point of order clearly within his right and for the purpose of protect- ing the public treasury he was critl- jeised and even condemned. He pro ‘tested against such actions, | Before the bill was put upon its ‘final passage, Mr. Dalzell of Pennsy!- ‘yanta, from the committee on rules, ‘reported a rule restoring all the par- agraphs stricken out Tuesday, having relation to the Increase in salaries of clerks in first and second class offices, ‘city and rural carriers and railway mail clerks ang making a number of importanat changes from the bill a3 reported to the house to the com- mittee on postoffice and post roads, By the terms of the amendments, seven grades of ¢lerks are estaultsh- ed with salarles ranging from $600 te $1,206.

Rallway mall clerks are divided into six grades be- low that of the chief clerk, salaries in each’ grade being Increased $100, and ranging from $800 to $1,700.

Retore the Investigating committee ot the ‘Texas house and senate Wed- nesday, United States Senator Joseph W. Balley continued the story of his finanefal deats with John H. Kirby, the Texas mllonairé lumberman; 8. G, Bane, president of the Seaboard “National Bank of New York; Henty Clay Pierce, president of the board of directors of the Waters-Pierce Oil company; RB. F. Yoakum, who fs at the head’ of two rallroad system, and with various other financiers. One of his most important state- ments was that he had been asked by the Standard Ol! officials in New ‘York iramediately after the Beaumont oll boom, t6 give them an opinion as to what the opportunities were for them to reenter the state again and do bnsiness. “I gaye them a written opinion in which I stated that if they attempted to do business in the state, they would Bo put in the penitentiary, and thelr property absorbed in fines and penat- ties,” said Senator Bailey. Sonator Bailey told an interesting story of his adventures fn the finan. cial world and firmly maintained that all of his-acts and deeds had been honorable and above reproach, A KICK FROM CANNON. Speaker Opposed to Location of Im- migrant Station at Charleston. It is reported that Speaker Cannon will refuse to allow consideration at this session of the bill reported Tues- day by the Immigration committee of the house for the location of an {mmt- grant station at Charleston, S. C. This measure was' urged in view of the im- portancgsCharleston has assumed as an immigrant port. The speaker pro- fesses to believe this money could ‘be better employed in the erection of immigrant hotels at the large immi- gration centers of the country... BY BIG MAJORITY Hoyse Adopts Conference Report on Immigration Bill. “BIG STICK” IN EVIDENCE Measure, as Adopted, Gives Roosevelt Power and Privilege to Deal With Exclusion of Jap. Laborers as He Sees Fit. A Washington special says: ‘Un- der suspension of thu rules, the house Monday adopted the conference re- port oc the immigration bill, which was agreed to by the senate Saturday, although the Democrats generally made a party issue against the pass port provision as well ax to that re quiring alr space In vessels. The vote stood ayes 187, noes-101. Four Re publicang voted against the bill, and fuur Democrats voted for it. Representative Burnett of Alabama made points of order against the first provision, which undertakes to regulate the incoming of Japanese cvortes, by giving the president au- thority (o refuse to recoghize thelr passports, and also aguinst the whole of section 42, having relation to the air space in vessels bringing immt- grants to the United States. As to the first proposition, Mr. Bur- nett insisted that the authority con- ferred by the section cn the president put tn his ‘hands a “big stick,” which he could wield over a state. He de- clared that It gave the chief execu- tive a power which was never con- tomplated by the constitution, nor by the enabling act of any sovercign state, As to the second proposition, it was Mr, Burnett's contention that the*air space provision properly be- longed in a bill relating to navigation, ata had no part in a bill regulating the immigration of qiens into the United States - Mz. Burnett asked the speaker of the whole Chinese exclusion law .cauld not befrepeatea by a conference report. “Oh, why does the gentlemen ask about that which might, could, would, or should happen?” replied the speaker, amid laugltter. ‘Mr. Wiliams, of Mississippi, desir- ed to warn the people of Cahfornia of something which they already knew. and that was that the views of the president was not their views. “This man to whom you have lemt the discretion in the matter of Japy- nese immigration is one who nas al- ready recommended the naturallza- tion of the Japanese,” said Mr. Wil- Hams, “I um with the peon'e of Cat- fornia on the question of separate schools, “and I am with them on another question,” continued Mr. Willams. “t want the Pacific coast kept a whit2 mun'a country (applause), and I want all this country, as far as it can be, to be a white man’s country, not merely because [ helleve thé Cau- casian is superior to other races, but because this {3 our land, the !and of our traditions and our Ideals, sud £ knew that the influx of ancther race means another race problem for an- other portion of this republic, and an- other scetal watfare. “I want to, say that every woe which this country has suffered has resulted from the landing of the first slave ship at Jamestown.” (Applause.) COTTON EXPERTS ASSURED. Provision for Their Salaries is Final- ty Agreed Upon. ‘The appropriation of $20,000 for the employzment of experts to work abroad to incfense the business in cotton products, which hag been in confer enc for several weeks, has been finally agreed unon. ‘The conference réport containing the item was signed Monday after- noon, Tho whole appropriation for extending foreign trade Ya meri ean manufactures 1s $50,000. JAPS DON'T APPROVE ACTION. They Are Sore: Over Agreement Reached on Schoo! Question. A Toklo special says: No official step has yet been taken looking to a sétUement of the Callfornta situa- ton in accordance yitiigthe agree ment reached between President Roosevelt and the San Francisco au: therities, but should 1 be effected on that basis, the government must be prepared for violent attacks. ‘The authoritiés.are‘asstimingra calm and resolute attitude, however, and it 1s belleved n° settlement’ on this Aine ‘Is not entirely hopeless. NO PROBING INTENDED. Report That Cottcn Associatione Would Be Put on Rack is De- nied by Garfield. | A Washington special says: The latest move in the campaten of the cotton exchanges to obstruct the pro- gress of the investigation which ts being made by the bureau of cor porations by direction of a congres- sional resolution is the report which has been industriously “éirculated by friends of the New York cotton ex- change that the Southern Cotton As- soctition will also come under the ‘probe of the department of com- ™erce and labor. The story was pub- Ushed throughout the country Sat- urday that such an Investigation was contemplated and that it would be shown that the combinations of south- ern farmers to boom the price of the south's staple was inimical to the Interests of the producing sec- tions of tha country and in deflance ot Taw. . Commissioner Garfield, of the bu- reau of corporations, was seen gt his office and denfed that any such ‘steps had been taken. He also denied that they. even contemplated an investl- gation of cotton associations. Knott Smith, the assistant commissioner, also expressed ignorance of any such movement; though he sald the bus reau was not necessarily confined in ‘the scope of “fis investigations. it is trae that the bureau of corpora- tions might under authority of law Investigate the organization, couduct and mauagement of any corporation or combination of corporations en- gaged In interstate commerce, except, of course, rallroads, which come um der tho provisions of the interstate commerce clause. ‘The department might even investt gate the southern cotton associations in conformity with thelr authority to gather and publish useful information, concerning corporations engaged In in- terstate commerce on the ground that such combinations affect {interstate commerce. The main point at pres- ent fs that uo such Investigation has deen undertaken. No such investiga- tion wa contemplated in the Liv- ingston-Uurleson resolution directing an investigation into the cotton ex- changes of the country, and Colonel Livicgston was Informed that none was at present contempleted. ‘When ‘the Livingstin-Burleson reso? lution was pending Representative Levering, of Massachusetts, declared {t should provide aiso for an investl- gation Into the southern®¢otton asso- clations of cotton farmers, but no at- tempt was made to provide for this fm any resolution passed by the sen- ate.

The report also was adopted by the senate by a yote of 25 to 10, and the act was signed by Governor Ansell at once, the state dispensary thus passing out of extstence with Saturday. Governor, Ansel, late Sunday night, fssued.a, proclymation Instructing all dispensaries ‘to close their doors Mon- day and remain closed until the ¢ounty bourds are appomted und take charge of the dispensaries. ‘This mesns that the diensaries will not open their doors at all again unut the counties have taken charge.

SMOOT DEFENDS HIMSELF. — s tan Senator Denles Being Tangled ~_* ‘Up With Mormonism. Senator Reed Smoot’s long-expect- ed address to the senate Tuesday fn defense of his position as senator fron Utah, was the feature of the session. He was supported by Senator Dil- Hingham of Vermont, in an analytical speech of the evidence which had been submitted in the case. Bir. Smoot condemned polygamy in the strans- est terms, and declared emphatically that he had taken no oath itconsist- ent ‘with that he had taken as sen- ator. - GOOD FOR GEORGIA Expert Labor, Long Needed, is Assured for State. PLANS ARE FORMULATED At Enthusiastic and Largely Attended _ State Immigration Conven- tion Held In the . ‘Central City. o Plans for a uniform method of se- curing for the state of Georgia the best class of immigrants were pre sented and enthusiastically adopted by four hundred of the most conserv- ative citizens of the state at the Im- migration conference held fn Macon Tuesday, under the auspices of the Georgia Immigration Assoclation. Prominent leaders of the south, as- sisted by the wisdom of officials of federal departments, governors, in- dustrial and manufacturing represen- tativcs and well known agricultural expone:.ts, met in peace and harmony, to dircuss common interests of a rcommon cause. From the calling of the conventfon to order by President G. Gunby Jor- dan in the crowded auditorium until the afternoon session adjourned for the smoker, ‘which was given by the Macon chamber of commerce Tuesday night, enthusiasm marked every reso- fution that was adopted and pledged ‘thelr co-operation to the suggestions made by the various committees. In the opinion of careful, calculat- Ing, practical business men, the re- sults of the day's conference and con- vention mark the turning of the tide, the ebb of which has left Georgia face to face with a scarcity of labor ‘and the contemplation of idle and un- occupled acres of land such as has hampered beyond estimate the de velopment of natural resources and great Industries in the midst of an era of prosperity unprecedented. So much of the best work of the convention was accomplished in the quiet conferences of several commit- tees, IL may be well to state some of the ‘actual results gf this gathering of the Georgia clans under the direc- tion of the Georgla Immigration As- sociation. Among other things, it was declded—and to theso ends plans are now under way—that the best results conld be accomplished as follows: ‘Tne bringing of Georgia Immigrants to Georsfi by way of a Georgia port and not by way of New York, New Orleans or the Robin Hood barn route. . To this end, representatives of some of the largest transatlantle steamship lines present sald that-they were au- thorized to state In this connection that providing Georgia secured suffl- cient business. in place of the bis feeight ships now plying betwen Sa- vanneh and European yoris, steam- ships equipped for the transportation of both cabin and steerage passen- gers would be substituted immediate. ly for tho present frelghters. These same offers were made 1s Chairinar of the State-Executive Com- mitteg John A. Betjemiu, Commission- er Thomas G. Hudson‘and other Geor- elans during a recent conference in New York with the chief officials of the steamship companies. To take advantage of this oppor. tunity, the work ofthe Georgia Immt- gration Association has been broaden- ed and enlarged. Through competent commissioners keeping well within the letter and the spirit of the immt!- gration laws, those citizens of Euro- pean countries will be properly and truthfully advised of the present op- portunities In Georgia. ‘23 a result of the conferences it Js expected that ships bringing in new homeseckers and settlers for Georgia, will arrive in Savannah In about three months. These ships wifl come from ports In the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy, There will be a regular service established between some German port and Savannah with sallings every three weeks and a0- commodations for both cabin and ‘tenrninn ‘yeebteniniinn: . STATE SOVEREIGNTY INTACT. California Delegation Satisfied With Agreement on Jap Question. “The Californla committee, which is iu Washington in reference to the Japanese question, has not conceded any of its rights. State sovereignty was absolutely insisted on,” declared Mayor Schmitz, of San Francisco. Yet he sald a complete agreement bud been reached on all points of differ- ence, the only thing remaining to he done being the incorporation by congress of the exclusion amendment into the immigration bill. = SCHOOLS OPEN TO: JAPS. ‘Frisco Authorities WIN Admit Yellow Youngsters Under 16 Years, and” ~. Who Speak English. Japancse children are to be adinit- ted to white schools of San Fraicisco under certain restrictions; skilled and unskilled laborers coming from Japan barred from the malniand of the Unit- ed States and American laborers, skilled and unskilied, are to be ex- cluded irom Japan. This 1s the basis vf the agreemont between President Roosevelt, Secretary Root, Mayor Schmitz and the San Francisco schoo! board, as an adjustment of the anti- Japanese agitation brought about by the segregation of Japanese children in the schools of San Francisco. The agreement means that schvols of San Francisco ‘will be conducted fu- the same manner as they were before the board of education adopted ‘the resolution Iast October providing for the segregation of the Japanese, ex- ‘cepting that adult Japanese, who are in primary grades must contine ‘to attend the Oriental schéols, and that Japanese children under 16 years of age will be admitted to classes with walte children of thelr own ages. While the resolution of the schoct boaed, us amended, reads “children of allen: birth;” it fs freely admitted by Mayor Schmitz and his assonates that the resolution will apply only to the Japanese children, and toat the changing of the wording was to make it plain to the Tokio govern- nient that no disctimination was In- tended against Japanese children. Mayor Schmitz is quoted as sayings, “this 1s only a temporary agyee- ment President Roosevelt has given us ¢ircet and positive assurances that he will at onée besin negoti- tions with Japan ‘for the purpose of ringing about a new treaty that will exclude Japanese laborers, skilled and unslailed, from continental United States. é Bharlly before midnight Monday night the following statement was given out at the White House: “A typewritten copy of Mayor Schmitz’s Ztatement was submitted to President Roosevelt, and Seerctary Root, and the statement -ic entirely: sausiactory to them.” In reference to modifying the order exeluding Japanese children from the white schools, the representatives of Sur. Francisco sald: “As a condition of the modification of said resolution, we respecttully in- sist that the legal proceedings hereto- fore instituted de dismissed forth- with, and that it ts expressly under, elood that we have not conceded and do not concede, or intend to coucede, that or action was in violation of any of the stipulations of the treaty betweea the United States and Ja-- pan, but en the-contrary we do claim and assert that i€ any stIpuletfon In sald treaty contained is inconsistent or conflicts. with the power and au- thority given by section No. 1662 of the peal code of the state of Call- fornia, then 20 far as sald treaty at-- tempts to clreurscribe or prevent the board of education from regulatins Its own school affairs as an exerciss of local police power, sach provision im sata treaty are negatory and void?"

One day about a year ago, the same mail brought me two letters, one from Buffalo and one from New Orleans, which seemed to join in a single invitation, and gave me an ex- use for entering upon a line of thought which, though dangerous, had often tempted me before. The first was a request for a discourse appropriate to Washington's Birth day. The second, from a ‘student of Southern history, asked for my opin- fon on the question.

The phrase “Georgé Wash- ington, Southerner,” was a quick outcome of my meditations. How far it is a truthful phrase that is to'say, how much his South- ern birth and breeding, bis associa- tions with other Virginians, his life ‘on a great plantation, his ownership of slaves—how much these things had to do with the character of ‘Washington—tIs, of course, a ques- tion we cannot answer sq clearly or confidentiy‘as if it were asked of Southerners or Virginfans in gen- eral. It is like analyzing for Kis Americanism or his Englishry, when after all he doubtless drew more of his qualities from his mero member- ship in the human family than from his assignment to any particillar branch of it. And, then, there were his entircly personal belongings. Nevertheless, it may be worth our while—particularly the little while feve all in some fashion once a year give over to celebrating our national shero—to Consider, the vague. way swe can, both how far he was a Southerner and also what sort of a Southerner he was. ‘We may be sure that much of what was pecullar to the South and to colonial Virginia sank Into his char- acter, and that no Englishman, no New England man, no Knickerbock- ‘er, could possibly be as like him as Be ham - .

Secking more Particularly for the elements of strength which he took from his en- vironment, “we will do best to join him with the other strongest Vir- ginians of his time. While it would be iNogical to attribute to thelr com- mon erperferices and assoclations the characteristics of any: particular member of that extraordinary group, it is not, unreasonable to suppose that any qualities which the whole group displayed, particularly if they were distincti¥e qualities, were in some measure due to the civilization out of which these men came. Are there, then, any respects in which we find the leaders of Revolutionary Virginfa—Washington and Henry and. Jefferson and Mason and Mar- shall and Madison and the Lees and Randolphs—taken as a group, dis- tinguishable from Revolutionary leaders ‘in general throughout the country? x In this sort of generalizing? and in this space, our reasoning can pro- ceed only by a sort of common con- sent, each of us modifying the con- clusion in pfoportion to his dissent from the premises. I am Inclined to put first a dis- tinction of the Virginians which’ they got metely by an excess of a quality which nearly all the builders of the American nation displayed. They had more than their share of a cer- tain gravity, a high serfousness, which we expect to find in every Revolutionary worthy. This may seem a surprising statement, since many of us have the impression that Southerners have always been the, most light-hearted of Americans, Behind their gravity of deport- ment was a singular constancy of sentiment and a provincial sntensity of feeling. Of Washington, particu- larly, it can no longer be doubted that his passional nature was ex- traordinarlly strong. Thanks to saner biography, the coldly correct man whom we once tried vainly to like or to admire has disappeared. He has given place to a man of truly terrific passions, wonderfully con- trolled, Of all the incidents and anecdotes, none perhaps illustrates better the extent of his self-rule than -the story of the officer whom he ordered across the Delaware, and who returned and reported that the river could not be crossed. Instant- Jy-Washington hurled at the man’s head the heavy inkstand from which ‘he was writing, exclaiming in a burst of ungovernable fury, “Then go back and send me a man!” In this com- pelling combination of will and pas- sion he had no rival among his fel- lows; but all save Madison impress oa ~ iM R e eae Pac Hn Bae eich oe be eae * 2 ees ec: - — _ mmmerrame sien see aera + RRR = <P Tso Se, PA.

My own bellef is that in this capacity the Southern planters have always ex- celled. ° it {s a characteristle of pro- vinelais, particularly if they be coun- try-bred. Along with it there went In these Virgintans, who were nearly all well bred and trained in a good school of hospitality, a capagity for cordial personal relationships which was also of great advantage in their public careers. It is generally agreed that their social equipment was superior to that of most men whom they en- countered at congresses and coriven- tions and In the army. Their speech was sweeter; their matiners easier and more cordial. It fs even reason- able to believe that their individual characteristics, their personalities, were more marked and therefore more attractive; that they were, as jone says nowadays, more “‘interest- Ing” than the average colonial states- man and captain. For this ts what most travelers in America in that period seem to have found, and it is what a comparison of the great plan- tation with other American communi- tles would Iead us to expect. These fine qualities were all, in one way or another, sources of power and leadership. Back of them was that which used and informed them ae habit of leadership, the con- stant expectation and desire of Power. And this was the gitt of the slave. Of all the reasons why Wash- ington and his neighbors took the [highest places during the Revolution and for several decades thereafter, none was more potent than their being used to so much authority at home; and of all the causes of that habit of their Mves, no other was nearly so important as slavery. When Washington took command of the army at Cambridge, he was surprised to find how little respect the Massa- chusetts officers-got, or seemed even to expect, fromthe men. Ho wrote back to Richard Henry Lee that they were, apparently, “mainly of the same kidney with the privates.” That, evidently; was not the way things were done in Virginta. If we should seek now in America a class comparable to the great slave- owners for naturalness in command, for masterfulness, we should find thelr closest counterparts {n the men who, all over the country, are at the head of the greatest industries—in the managers ‘of corporate enter- prise. Here,“then, «were certain qualities In Washington which I think we may attribute in some measure, probably in a great measure, to his being a Southerner, and of the class upper- most in that society. Most cf us will think them admirable qualittes, and they were all conduclye to his rise and eminence. But when we try to estimate the cost of breeding men like him wé come upon a darker view of the colonial South; and when we read his own words concerning the Southern question of the day it appears that no on’ in the country, unless {t was Jefferson, saw more clearly thay he what wal at fault jn bis own Virginia and on bis own plantations. “4D never mean,” he wrote to one correspondent, “unless some particu- lar circumstances should compel me to it, to possess another slavo by pureliase, it being among my first wishes to seo some plan adopted by which slavery tu this country may be abolished by law." He would net sell the overplus of his own slaves, because he was “principled against this kind of trafic in the human species,” nor hire them out, because they could not be disposed in fami- Hes, and he had an averslou to dis- perse a family. ‘He heartily sup- ‘ported Lafayette’s scheme of colont- sation, Hla will gave freedom to his own slaves so scon as his wite’s death should free a much larger mass with which some of them had formed family ties. His desire was for gradual cman- cipation by State legislation, but he foresaw many hardships, and an utterly anomalous place In society for the freedmen. The minute pro- visions in Is will for the care of the very young, the aged, and the infirm among his own blacks show that, though an abolitionist, he was by no means deluded into the notion that abolition would prove a solu- tion of the race problem. His con- stant practice of justice, kindness, and merey in all his relations with negroes shows better than could any words how he thought individual Southerners could ameliorate a_situ- ation. which even to-day we have found no means essentially to change. ‘This, in crude brevity, is what we, know of Washington, the Southern- er; of what Southern ctvilization did for him, and what he did and would have done for the South, Lookiag at the matter from both points of view, one feels that no better South> erner has ever lived.—The Indepen- dent. pe Neal pe Re ord.

In this state we havetwo towns that are similarly governed, Da- rien and St. Mary’s. So far as the government of the towns is concerned; the citizens have no voice whatever simply because the greater number of votes are among the colored people. This is one of the acts of justice (2) béing inthcted upon us by our white friends. Tux Herald truthfully says that the old time firstand second class fares was a better solution for keeping order on trains than anything else and this should be imposed and exacted on all passengers. Bnt there is no justice in making any well be- haved Jntelligent person ride in a little old dirty chicken coop coach with just any kind of low villains that think no more of smoking, errcaring or taking out their whiskey bottle and treating to drinks in a refined Jady’s face than they doina bar room. Railroad companies should be required to have auch coaches that will accommodate both classes. There are colored. lJadies just as refined and cul- tured as those of any other race and they should be treated with the same respect and considera-, tion when traveling as are the others. Nothinghas ever been required of the railroad compa- nies by the states for the best class of colored travellers and hence they think that anything is good enough for a Negro wo- manorman. This country, as much as it boasts, is far behind others in the decent treatment of its citizens who are deserving and worthy. Mock Lymching.

From afew then, representing one state alone, the Conferences have grown so that at this session allofthe Southern States were represented by farmers coming even from as far west as Texas. _ Inhis address to the farmers Dr. BookerT Washington said tersely that ‘Any black man who is worth his salt can build a de- cent home—can raise a respect- able family—can seoure all of the work he wishes—can educate his children—can have freedoom of religious worship—can secure and maintain the respect and- confidence of his neighbors, of ‘both races. But we must not be satisfied with what we have achieved in the past. We must continue ‘tb go forward. Our progress in the future must befmore satisfactory than heretofore.”’ Lincoln Institate.

Yates, of our faculty. “To-day, under the management o Dr. B. F: Allen, a Christian gentlemar of rare executive ability and scholarl; attainments, and a faculty whose mem- bers represent the training of the best achbola in the country, East, West, North, and South, it stands second to none of the great schools of the United States, any part of whose work is the professional training of teachers. The Missouri legislators and their constituents are so thoroughly impress ed with the direct value of the school to the colored citizens, that they hesi- tate not at all to grant at each session of the Legislature the full amount of money that, in the judgment of the President and Regents, from term to term is found necessary to maintain the high standard of excellence which always has constituted “the Lincoln Institute idea.” In 1903 the amount thus secured for the school by Dr. Allen was $44,350, in 1905 the amount was $77,400; in 1907, undoubtedly there will be a proportion- ate increase; and for such liberality of sentiment, the dominant race ia Mis- souri merits and receives the fervent gratitude of its Negro citizens.

The funer- al of Mr. Armstrong was one of the largest recently had, with three secret institutions to con- duct ceremonies, and ie it took less than three hours for the en- tire services I am willing to wager that if.the funeral sor- vices of Mr, Armstrong were held in certain other churches, itwould have taken more than twice the time. Pastors of the various churches should consider this and also think of the trying ordeal through which the mourners have to undergo, and the many times passionate appeal to feel- ing. They should also try to shorten their services, because there is now a threat of an in- crease'of price on carriages for colored funerals, because col- Gred funerals. Heep their car- riages out twice us long'as does white funerals, If this increase bemade, the bereaved family would, have to pay it, and it would all be because the minis- ters prolong the services. Let the ministers consider these things and act for the good of the people. This is extended with a spirit for good, andit is expected that i? would be accepted in thé same way. \ < Reform. Negro. Building. ‘The corner-stone of the Negro Building, Jamestown Exposition, was laid Thureday of last week. This building, which was planned by W. Sidney Pittman, a Negro Archi- tect, who receiyed bis training at Tuskegee, Institute, 1s being erected by Bolling & Everett, Negro con- tractors of Lynchburg, Va. The ceremonies were performed by the Masonio Grand Lodge of Virginia and music was furmiehed by the Hampton Iuatitute bund. Speech-s were made by Andrew F. Hilyer, Secretary of the Executive Oommit- tee, Giles B. Jackavn, Director Gen- eral of the Negro Development & Exposition Company, W, 1. Johneon President of the Company, R. T Hill, Treasurer, and Robert Kelser, Srereta y, Mra A.-M. Gurtie, Fiecal Agent for the ‘I'rrasury Department mude un addreag on the Negro Wa man’s Part, Thomas J. Caloway, Chairman of the Executive Commit- ter, w'an spoke. This day was chosen aa the day-for the laying of the cor- ner stone becanse it was the birth- day of Frederick Douglass, the his- toric anti-slavery agitator. It developed from the speeches that rapid progress iv being made in the collection of exhibits, and that thie celebration by the colored peo- ple atthe Jamestown Expoattion is the greatest exhibit of ita kind that bas ever been bad. A number of in- teresting features’ were announced ; among them wag the large exhibit thst 18 being prepared by the Hamp- ton Institute, Buoker T.

Mr. Editor: Allow me space to announce my regrets af the death of Mr. Armstrong, the able manager of the Metropolitan Company. Since his death; Lam imformed that there is a scramble for his placeas managér, The logical personas his successor is Mr Fred M. Cohen, who knows more aboutthe office than any oneelse. It is rumored that some one not connected with the company will be appointed over Mr Cohen ; it is hoped that this isuntrue. The friends of Mr. Coben will resent this because they feel that he deserves promo- tion and the company will make quitea mistake by not recog- nizing his worth, We will awaitthe company’s action and note if the same will meet the approval ofits’ patrons.

The first of these stages is womanhood, or the change from a care free girl to budding womanhood. The second is motherhood, and the third is Change of Life. Petals surround each of these stages, and most of the misery that comes to women through ill health dates from one or another of these important crises. Women should remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs has carried thousands of young girls over the critical period of puberty, has prepared mothers for childbirth, and in later years carried them safely through the change of life more successfully than any other remedy in the world. Thousands of testimonials from grateful persons, two of which are here published, substantiate this fact beyond contradiction. Mrs. George Walters of Woodlawn, Ill. writes: "I feel it my duty to tell you of the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done me in preparing for childbirth. After suffering and losing my children a flower was to try to repair which deine, and the result was that I had very little inconvenience, a quick recovery and During its long record of more actual cures, entitles Lydia E.

Millions of 'em in those showcases over there." Method Employed Along the Coast Lands of England. In various parts of the country flight nets are used on certain parts of the coast for taking birds during the night-time, but those at Friskney, on the Wash, in Lincolnshire, have become famous on account of their size and the quantity of birds that are taken in them. On this particular portion of the coast, says the London Daily Graphic, the tide goes out for a very long way. Next to the big sea bank, which prevents the surrounding country from being flooded, there is a large marsh intersected with dykes, and covered with glass wort, which is locally known as samphire; next to this is a big stretch of sand, and following this is a vast mud flat, famous for its cockles. There are several men there who work flight nets—George Bray, the old wildfowler, has four of the longest, consisting of eleven lengths, each length of net being thirty-six yards long and about six feet deep, made of fine, strong black cotton twine, with a mesh six inches square. Along the top and bottom of the net runs a the thin strong cord to attach it to a strong ash pole, which is placed at every thirty-seven yards distance. The lower running cord is attached to the pole about two feet from the ground, so that here is plenty of slack. If it were placed at its full stretch the birds in striking would often be thrown back and escape, instead of being curled up in a hopeless tangle. The best time to catch the wildfowl is on what are known as the "darks," that is, dark, stormy nights with high tides and the wind blowing north and northeast. Quiet moonlight nights are bad, as the birds, flying loy, see the net and avoid the snare by "sling over the top of it." Of course with so large a mesh many small birds pass through without beings caught, and, being of thin twine, often when a large bunch of duck or geese strike it they go clean through it, leaving nothing but a big rent in the net and a few feathers to tell the tale. The writer has seen various ducks and gulls, woodcock, snake, plovers, owls and many different species, both large and small, caught in the toils. One has to visit the net at daybreak to take out the spoil, otherwise the gulls and the gray backed crowds make very short work of the poor captives. In netting the ubiquitous and destructive sparrow all that is needed is a special sparrow net, pocketed on two long, thin poles. The fly on the house sides and walls and the stocks in the farmyards are worked all over by raising the net as high as possible, clapping it on to the wall or stuck, and then drawing it gradually downward. The birds, as they are disturbed, fly out into the toils. Several scores of birds may be captured in an evening. Says the Christain Register overwork on the railroads with consequent nervous exhaustion, is given as one cause of the congestion of the car supply in the North-west. This also is a cause of the numerous railway accidents. Two explanations are given. One is the greed of railway owners and managers who will not employ men enough to reduce the strain of overwork. The other is the lack of laborers who are willing to earn good wages offered by railway corporations. We believe there is an increasing tendency to pay good wages and give employees fair treatment. DREADED TO EAT A Quaker Couple's Experience. How many persons dread to eat their meals, although actually hungry nearly all the time! Nature never intended this should be so, for we are given a thing called appetite that should guide us as to what the system needs at any time and can digest. But we get in a hurry, swallow our food very much as we shovel coal into the furnace, and our sense of appetite becomes unnatural and perverted. Then we eat the wrong kind of food or eat too much, and there you are—indigestion and its accompanying miseries. A Phila, lady said the other day: "My husband and I have been sick and nervous for 15 or 20 years from drinking coffee — feverish, indigestion, totally unfit, a good part of the time, for work or pleasure. We actually dreaded to eat our meals. "We tried doctors and patent medicines that counted up into hundreds of dollars, with little if any benefit. "Accidentally, a small package of Postum came into my hands. I made some according to directions, with surprising results. We both liked it and not used any coffee since. "The dull feeling after meals has left us and we feel better every way. We are so well satisfied with Postum that we recommend it to our friends who have been made sick and nervous and miserable by coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Black Bess, an Australian mare which has appeared over 3000 times in the play of "Dick Turpin," died recently in London. Before she went on the stage she was a steeplechaser. The number of patents granted in Germany since 1583 has varied between twenty-aline per cent, and forty-five per cent, of the number of applications filed. The spotlessly pure marbles of the Island of Paros, Greece, are mined by an English company. Many of the celebrated statues left by the ancient world were sculptured from the marbles of the Parian mines. There is an enormous number of small landholders in Egypt, 5,000-000 acres being cultivated by over 1,000,000 landowners, of whom 6000 are Europeans, owning on an average a little over 100 acres. George Washington was the first breeder of fine grade mules in America—the King of Spain and Lafayette, of France, gave him some fine jacks. The great Compromiser of Kentucky was also a lover of muleflesh as a work animal. He gave a lot in Washington city for a fine jack. This lot is now worth millions of dollars. It is common to think of a camel, the proverbial ship of the desert, as a patient beast of burden. Guided by skilful hands, however, it becomes a very formidable war steed. The Somali warriors have ridden camels in many fierce charges for generations. Mounted on the back of an active camel with a long spear for a weapon, one of these savages is an enemy to be feared. READ WRONG BUMP. Phrenological Faddist Runs Up Against a Deceptive Protuberance. "Bump" parties are a new form of entertainment adopted by women's clubs this season that bids fair to rival whist and bridge, that is, if all are as successful as the one given yesterday afternoon by the press committee of the Rainy Day Club, in the home of Mrs. Thomas H. Whitney, 411 West End avenue. "Bump" parties are entertaining, even exciting. The diversion is created by a woman phrenologist, who takes herself very seriously. If husbands of members of the Rainy Day Club are importted to build houses regardless of cost, so that the mistress may have an opportunity to decorate the interior and prove her artistic temperament, they need not be surprised, for it will only be another evidence of the effect of the "bump" party. One "Daisy" of uncertain age was warned not to marry by the phrenologist. "Don't you marry; don't even consider it, until you are really ready," she was told, "for it would be a pity for you to make a mistake and wed too soon or get the wrong men." Another prominent member was startled by hearing the reader say, after carefully rubbing the "bumps" on her head: "You have robbed some one, and if there had been a twin I should feel sorry for it." "You are cold and reticent," said the reader to another woman, "and it took your husband years to make an impression." "Six," declared the subject amid shouts of laughter from the other members. "You are still inclined to keep your own counsel," continued the phrenologist, "for you tell your husband only such things as you think best for him to know." In the midst of one flattering reading, the subject grew red and quite confused and finally announced that the "bump" being felt was not a real one, but a piece of padding that kept up her pompadour. There is but one undesirable feature to such entertainments, and that is that the most elaborate of colfures are disarranged by the hands of the phrenologist as she works over a "bump" of affection or tries to find a lump of genius or a point of locality, and sidecombs and jeweled ornaments are sacrificed—New York Herald. Might Have Been Painless. "Gentlemen of the jury," erupted the attorney for the plaintiff, addressing the twelve Arkansas peers who were sitting in judgment and on their respective shoulder blades, in a damage suit against a grasping corporation for killing a cow, "if the train had been running as slow as it should have been ran, if the bell had been rung as it ort to have been rang, or the whistle had been blown as it should have been blew, none of which was did, the cow would not have been injured when she was killed!"—Ram's Horn. Western Follies in the East In the East one may be a bachelor and in virtue thereof enjoy the hospitality, of a bachelor's married friends indefinitely, but the moment after the bachelor commits the indiscretion of marriage the Nemesis of tennis and bridge parties overtakes him with the same ruthlessness with which he preyed for entertainment on those who had married before him. The moral of the East for young men with economical views is—don't marry.

Perhaps -St would be better, no not perhaps, Dut certainly it would be best, for fhe Christian household of faith, in- Mividually and collectively, to make ‘effective in their: lives the highest ‘principles of ideal love Jala down by Christ. But as wo read closer and _ enter more fully into the mind of tho faster we seo a de2per and a grand- jer-message In these parting com- wmends. Listen once again to His qwords: “Even as I lave loved you." {Do you not see the great, world-wide jptinciplé lying Just within the shad- “BW of the sentenée? “Eivén as 1 have Hoved you,” And how had He loved ithem?’ Moses, yeu know, brought -$he¥ehildren of israel up ‘trom the forrid lands of bondage, up to the feonfines of the land of Jehovah's ‘Promise, And the name of Moses is sheld in reverent memory: by the host ‘of that scattercd people of God every- (wliere to-day. But this Christ, this try, so to be sure that they were wor~ thy to be in the octal set of one who was of the line of David. Ah, npt Christ took them, one and all, at thelr face value—as men and sinners. He saw in them only men waiting and longing for tho touch of a loving hand and the comfort of a sure sal- vation. He called them and they left thelr work, their families and thelr friends, and they followed where He led. And, as they followed, He taught them, and He showed them how, by the power that He alone could give, they might work social and spiritual miracles and transtor- mations th thelr own lives ‘and also in the lives of other men and of na- tions. And, withal, He loved them with that mighty, godly love where- with none other had ever loved them before. Such was the love of Christ to His disciples. Such was the char- acter of the affection, in the broadest interpretation, that He lavished upon them. Such was the love which, in its fullest application, Ho wished them to manifest to all’men. He had loved them as sinners. They must love other men fn sin. He had dealt kindly and patiently and with all forebeararice with them. They must do the same with their fellows. To be sure, they were tc strive for-har- ‘mony among themselves at at times that they might be known and read of all men as His disciples, Only thus could’ thelr teachings gain or retain a merited respect. But the ‘wider expression of the love of Christ that was.spread abroad in thelr hearts demanded, as it demands to- day, that they look upon all men in sin, as well as upon all Christians, as brothers—and love them. But, I hear some one ask, suppose Christian men to-day do love, :spe- cifically and generically. as Christ commanded that the disciplés should love, what then? ‘That fs just the point that I wish to consider. , This command of Christ, in its application both to the relation of the Christian to the other faithful and to the world of men in sin about him, fs just as Imperative upon us as it'was upon any of the eleven, And the ontworking of that Christ’ principle in all the depart- ments of human activity will ensure the final solution of all diffictities that now perplex.and distress us and the consummation of the Kingdom of our Lord. It fs so perfectly easy and so very simple that the ease and sim- pifcity of ft all astonishes us. We have become,so accustomed to think of our problems as exceptionally kard to solve. We seem to take much joy to assure ourselves of the almost in- surmountable difficulty to set the world right with the eternal plan dt God. We would much rather, so it would seem, that the whole matter remain complex. We think, perhaps, that God will be easy or us if we fail in a difficult task. Beloved, it is difficult, it is well- night. yea’ actually, insurmountable, this sin in the world, when squared to the possibilities of our own nu- aided powers. But did we open our hearts wide toward Heaven once, and let the power of the Spirit of the liv- lng Father fll us to the full; did wo but empty out our Spirit-ftled hearts In love upon our fellow men; did we but put into action once this simple plan of God toward the rehabilitation of the world, we would learn, and that quickly,what are the possibilities of the power that cometh from on high. And the only way to rectify the results of the spiritual, moral, economic and political sins of this world, individual and ‘social, is to let the love of God fll you and through you the world of men about you. ‘This done, the task is light, for our basis of action Is changed. We no longer rely upon the wisdom ot the philosophies of mon and their theorles, but we clutch tightly to the power arm of that Ruler of us all to whom all things are possible—and we selze the'first thing first. Now thfs command of Christ to love one another even as He has loved us, Is imperative. It 1s mandatory and not permissive. It we would be good Christians of full and regular standing in the household of faith we must obey. It 1s not for us to decide whether or no tn our case the law shall be vall@. Christ commands, auti only ty obedience to His demand do we so Ilse thet alt men shall know that we are His discl- ples. The test of fidelity 1s in obed!- ence. Lip testimony is judged by fealty in service. Some one has said: “What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say.” Its this central fact that Christ recognizes when He commands a loving order- ing of our outward life. We are Christians, but do we live the life of love? ‘ ‘These words of Christ should come home to each of us with more than usual force at this season of ‘the year. Christmas {s over; shortly we shall be face to faco with those sad- der days which are so full“of mem- ories of Him who, for our sakes, suf- fered even ignoblest. death. It is Atting that we should re-dedicate our- selves to the work that He so dearly ‘The True Church. There are some few churches left to show the type to which all churches must return. Next to the home and the'family the true church represents to its members helpful ness, sympathy and every gractous and homelike virtue. _ Heavenly activity fs fruitless with- ‘out heavenly-attributes .

Of the large \number of injured, fifty, according to ‘the hespltat and police reports, ara seriously hurt and the death list may be increased. Most of the others are suffering from lacerations or shock and will recover. ‘The train was filled with matinee crowds and commuters, and was made up of two electric motors, a combination baggage and smoking car and four passenger coaches, It left the Grand Central station at 6:15 o’clock with the first scheduled stop at White Plains. It was running at Ligh speed, probatly 60 miles an honr, when it reached Woodlawn road, where th¢re is a sharp curve. ‘The motors and the second car took the curve safely, but the following coackes, were derailed and tumbling on their sidés, were dragged 100 yards before the coupling gave way and the four ears piled together in ruins at the foot of a low embank- ment. A sheet of electric flame énveloped the rear car, and for a moment threat- ened’ to roast thé victims pinioned ‘iu the debris. The flames ‘did not, however, spredd, and the horror of a ‘holocaust was avoided. As the cars , fell they smashed the third rail, breaking the current and ending the danger from this source. In the crash which followed, there was death for many, while practically every one in the four coaches recelved injuries of some sort. ‘Many were ground to pieces, and for hours identification waa almost hopeless. Aa the cars went over many of the passengers were thrown ffito ©: through the windows, and so cut and maimed. Ot those Instantly hilled, by far the greater number were women. Many were irangled beyond recogni- tion, Ambulances and surgcons from every hospital in Itronx borough, and from Bellevue in Manhattan, respond- ed to hurry calls, as did the two fire engine companies and the police reserves from many stations, ‘Many of the Injured were quickly extrieated from the wreckage, while others were so pinfoned that they could not be taken out for some time. Those most seriously injured were hurried to hospitals, while coroners took charge of the dead as fast aa the bodies were recovered. Fire started in the overturned cars, but the flames were quickly extin- guished, and the firemen lent thelr ald to the injured. Tke cause of the wreck has not been officially determined. At the Grand Central station there was an inclination to blame the accident to tke spreading of rails, but later it was sald that {t was believed that the axle of the first passenger coach broke, throwing the cars from the track.

SURPRISE - SPRUNG Cotton Associations Will Also Be Investigated, . SPINNERS DECLARE WAR Commissioner Garfleid Caiisdrues Res olution for Probing Excnanges to Include Cotton Association and Farmers’ Unton, A Washington dispatch says: Cor poration Commissfoner Garfield his construed the Livingston-Burleson cot- ton resolution, that recently passed the house, to provide not only for the investigation of the cotton ex- changes dealing in futures, but also for an investigation of the methods of, the great cotton and cotton seed associations of the south. He accordingly proposes to direct an inquiry into the methods of. the Farmers’ Nationa] Union, the South- ern Cotton Association, the National Ginners’ Association and other or- ganizations of similar character. The views of the corporation com- missioner are not ‘as yet generally known among the southern ¢congress- men, but the few that have heard of his intention express great sur- prise. When the attitude of the de partment becomes generally knows, it ts bound to create a sensation, and will no doubt, meet with resentment in the south among the members, of the associations to be affected by ‘the inquiry. Representative Willlam C. Lovering of Massachusetts, the member of the interstate commerce committee, who reported the demanded resolution, is authority for the statement that the corporation commissioner will inves- tigate the associations of the south in connection with the cotton ex- changes. He himself is a member of the New York cotton exchange, at which the original resolution was dt- rected, % Mr. Lovering was also responsible for the, amendments that were tacked onto the original resolution, and he now very calmly asserts that it was his purpose at the time to incorpo- rate all"of the associations of the south. “Why have a one-sided investiza- tion?" he asked when seen Friday. “Certainly the corporation commis- sioner will investigate the Farmers’ Union, the Southern Cotton Assocta- tion, the National Ginners, etc, He can do nothing else under- the pro- visions of the resolution as it pass ed the house. It was our purpose to have a thorough invéstigation.” Representative Lovering continuea by saying that, in his opinion, the associations of the. south were or- ganized to advance the price of cot- ton, ete. He said these associations are as mach responsible for the fluc- tuations as ts the New York cotton exchange, of which he is a member, Mr. Lovering is a New England spin- ner, and as such he insists that the rpinners are ent{tled to know why and how the price of cotton is ad: vanced as much so a3 the farmers of the south are to kuow why and how it 15 beaten down. : “The associations of the south are combinations to bolster the price of cotton,” continued Mr. Lovering, “and I can assure you that the corpora tion commissioner will be given tes timony to bear out this statement.” It now develops that Mr. Lovering has been careful to have the ament ed resolution so worded that the or ganizations were included. He was wise enough to say not 2 word about this and as no one else suspected as much at the time the resolution was unanimously passed: While it is known that the South- ern Cotton Association, the Farmers’ Unton, etc., are legitimate organiza- tion along co-operative lines and should have nothing to fear from an investigation, ft {s known that cer- tain interests aro anxious to destroy thelr usefulness if jossible. Hepresentative Livingston express- ed surprise when informed of the new turn the matter has taken. He insisted there must be a mistake, and claimed that the corporation commis- sioner had no right to investigate the cotton associations under the terms of the resolution. “It specifically provides for an in- vestigation of cotton exchanges and: makes no mention of the associationa of the south,” he said, “but Mr. Loy- ering quotes the resolution as it pase ' ed the honse and as he says the cor- poration commissioner understands it,"" « TEXAS BARS C. 0.

Balk at Agreement Reached on 'Frieca _ School Question and Declare Mat- ters Are Made Decidedly Worse. A Washington special says: The amendment to the immigration Dill drawn by Seéretary Root, which was the basis of a compromise on the Japanese-California matter, has not settled the difficulty. The Japanese do not accept it as a settlement. At ‘the Japanese embassy, the position is taken as nelther the amendment in the Immigration bill, nor the ar: sangement about separate schools in California for “allen children” men- tions Japanese any more than the children of Chinese or Hindoos, ths Japanese arg not involved in it, and have no inlerest whatever in this settlement, made by the president and the mayor of San Francisco, con- gress concurring. * It is further learned that not only are the Japanese not considering that this. Schmitz-Roosevelt compromise has settled any differences between the United States and Japan, but dis- tinctly declare that the arrangement, on the contrary, leads further from settlement, Japan's grievance in the beginning was that the Japanese were excluded from the schools of Call- fornia. Now in “settling” the difficul- ty, the president and Mayor Schmitz have gone one step further and while continuing, in effect, to deny Japan- ese admisston to the schools of Call- fornia, have actually fixed up 4 pro- vision for the declared purpose of ex- cluding Japanese from the United States. which, it is declared, is add- ing insult to Injury. ‘The efficacy of the whole plan whereby the president 18 to exclude Japgnece coolles was predicated upon the ‘theory that Japan does not want her coolies to enter this country. This turns out to be a mistake, or rather it is a mistake, to suppose that Japan is willing to allow the United States to exelude these coolfes, ad Ubitum, and give absolutely nottt- ing in return, Still, as Jap- unese ecolles aro not specifically men- tioned, Japan will not consider she is referred to, and is left free to en- ter protest at the first Infringement of whut she considers her rights un- der the treaty now exlating, Another proyisidn of the new ar- rangement Is distinctly distasteful to Japan, and the Japanese government will not accept it.

A Washington, special says: The Democratic senators further uncover- ed the real dangers hidden in the imamigration bill reported by the con- eters commitiee at Saturday’s ses- sion, | It was shown that the bill would ‘undoubtedly restrict southern immt- gration and- retard the growth und expansion of southern industries. Sen- ator DuBoise, of Idaho, made the ‘polut that it was direct legislation on ‘the part of the president, and Senator ‘Tillman showed that its effect was to give six men, the conferees, the power that fs supposed to reside in ninety senators and ‘three hutdred and elghty-odd representatives. Senator Culberson said if it was proposed to exclude the Japanese, the conferees could introduce a joint reso- lution which could promptly be pass- ed and which would exclude Japa- nese immigration. Tne clause which is incorporated in the bill leaves the entire matter In the hands of the president; and he fs hus made master of the situa- tion and is free to -deal with the entire iuternationai question. growing out of the San Francisco schoo! mat- ter as he sces fit. It is understood Mayor Schmidt, of San Francisco; Is satisfied with this solution, Senator Lacon, of Georgia, brought up the rumors that he and Senutor Tilman, had been coerced -into sub- mission by threats of the opposition iedueing the,river and harbor appro- priations for Georgia and South Caro- lina. He expressed his frank beliet that the rumor was unfounded. Sena- tor Aldrich promptly, disclaimed any responsibility or knowledge of the suggested attempt to force the sub- mission of Senators Bacon and Till- man to the passage of the immigra tron bill. Most of the Democrats fear the onteome of the measure dealing with immigration and the only outspoken one on the otker side was Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, who de- clared he did not believe the south would suffer in consequence of the ‘new enactment. . ‘The conference report, as Adopted, coutains a provision which authorizes the prezident to exclude Japanese Ia- borers front the United States at his discretion. The report will now go toa the house for {ts approval, which, as has been stated, {s assured. Jake ———, cured of bad case of; Gonorrhoea and Gleot. Mary, Burk, 219 Jones Lane, cared’ of rbeumatiin.
