FIGHTING GUN-RUN GHTIN GUN-R FIGHTING the GUN-RUNNERS HE HISTORY of the traffic in arms which goes on between Europe and Afghanistan via Muscat dates from the year 1811, when England, in guaranteeing the independence of the amir, agreed to supply him with rides and ammunition from India at a reasonable price, to assist him to maintain that independence. These privileges the amir soon began to abuse by establishing a costco ag-gar a curdge factory at Kabul and by trading in the border tribes, who eventually became a menace to the towns and villages on the Indian frontier and even to Afghanistan itself. After a while the advent of smokeless powder and modern arms rendered the Kabul factory obsolete, and the Indian government about this time stopped the supply of arms to the amir. He arose an extraordinary demand for modern rifle and ammunition both for the amir and for the body armor, the selling price at Kabul of a small box rifle, much as £60. "Ha! Ha!" said the Afghan soldier, their hands, "there is money to be made here; we will get rifles from Europe and the sultan of Oman, who lives at Muscat, will no doubt help us." Now in 1864 the Sultan of Oman had made a treaty with France by which he was allowed to import and export arms without interference, to forces to keep out the warlike Bedouins of the interior. The usefulness of this treaty from a business point of view was pointed out to the bulker by the traders and he delightfully fell in with them. the traders and he delightfully fell in with their scheme. Rifles by the thousand began to arrive at Muscat from Europe and the Sultan, by imposing a six per cent. duty on all imports and exports of arms, etc., saw his income increasing by leaps and bounds. The traders sent their agents to Muscat and arranged for the arms to be convoiled in shows across the Gulf of Oman to Persia, and landed in the Mekran coast, collected camels and transported the arms northward to their own country. This treaty of 1864 is thus the secret of the whole of the trouble. Efforts were made at the 1908-9 International Arms Traffic convention held at Brussels to induce the French government to annul the treaty, but in vain. The result is that the British East Indies squadron had to be strengthened and a rigorous blockade of the Gulf of Oman established, involving great exertions. The British and Indian governments. Could this fifty-year-old body be annulled, the British warships would prevent arms being landed at Muscat and the whole gun-running business would collapse. Steamers of many nationalities land arms at Muscat, where they are stored until the gun-running "season" begins. This lasts from December to April, the heat at other times being oppressive. Caravans can only travel when food and water is obtainable for the camels. Some of the arms are conveyed to Matarah, a port where three miles from Muscat. At these two ports, there are arms with arms under cover of night and leave where they offer offers. By keeping within three miles of the Arabian coast a show is free from capture, but outside that limit the nakoda (captain) cannot say a word if his rifles are confiscated and his vessel沉井 by a British man-of-war. Sohar is another depot for arms, and is supplied from Muscat. Three courses are open to shows. 1. To make a bold dash from Muscat to Persia. This is dangerous, involving a long passage, part of which must necessarily be in daylight. 2. Toug the coast to the westward and with a favorable route through the thirty miles or so across on a dark night. 3. To creep along the coast to the south, using Karyat as a jumping-off place. A show would then steer for Karachi, and at the approach of night would alter course and make straight for the vichy of Gladar. The blockading squadron consists of H. M. ships Phiolom, Proserpine, Persus, Alert, Odin, Spink, Redbreat and Esplegie and is called the Persian Gulf division. In addition there are seven steam launches hired from the British Steamship company by the India government and are launched and are offered and partly manned by the royal marines. Of this squadron cannot be maintained in the atlantic at full strength or anything like it, as ships must periodically reft and the crews recuperate at Bombay or Colombo. The organization of the blockade is in the hands of Capt. A. T. Hunt of the Fox, whose ability in coping with the traffic has obtained a double reward—an admiralty extension of his appointment and the executions of the barmed trades of Kabul. The system of intelligence which has been organized is nearly perfect. The wireless station at Jaskirat shows from uscat and also any information regarding the Afghan caravans or the landing of arms on the Persian coast. Captain Hunt disposes his available vessels along the Mekran coast according to the needs of the moment. Ships' cutters and pinnaces, armed with maxim guns, are sent away in charge of officers and lie in near likely landing places. They are provisioned for about a fortnight and T THE APPEAL.

The three-mile rule does not obtain on the Persian side and a show may be destroyed on the beach if she has carried arms and the arms may be followed up by a landing party if necessary. Few shows succeed in crossing with arms, and the number which attempt the passage is growing beautifully less. Still the blockade must not be relaxed. The wireless station at Jask is of great interest, having been recently erected by the Indian government inside a concession obtained from Persia. It is the "bete noire" of the Afghan, as has been described, and they have threatened it with destruction. It is the attachment of Indian troops and surrounded by wire entanglements and earthworks. There is a "Ever hear of Bucklesberry?" said a man from North Carolina the other day. "Well, it is a district in Lenoir county about twenty miles from Goldsboro. Twenty years ago it used to abound in curious characters. "Almost everybody in the neighborhood was named Sutton. At the time of which I speak about the most representative citizen of the community, was Ben Sutton. Ben had one of the nicest, neatest, one story houses you ever saw, and when one day I went to the road and was invited to partake of his hospitality at midday dinner I accepted with alacrity. "We entered the house from the rear and almost immediately sat down at a table that literally groaned under the weight of ham and sweet potatoes, collards, corn pone, turnips and buckleberry pie. Ben's hospitality made him see that I got away with the whole of an enormous second helping. "I strolled out upon the front porch after the meat and horror there stood in the yard, just in front of the house, a row of four handsome tombstones, each with grave attached. My host had lingered out and inspected the stones. One bore the inscription 'To my beloved wife, Annie. The second was, 'To my beloved wife, Kate.' The third read, 'To my beloved wife, Maggie, and the fourth, 'To my beloved wife, Jennie.' "Good heavens, have I struck a bluebeard! I exclaimed. "Then I looked at the dates of decease. They cable from Muscat to Jask and a land wire from the latter to Charbar. Life on board ship is monotonous, broken only by the occasional boarding of a show and the disappointment of finding a cargo no more harmful than dates! Malls fortunately are regular, as they arrive weekly from Bomby, and the mall steamers are constantly bringing stores and fruit for the fleet. Fruit is liberally served as a possible preventive of berl-berl. Leave to the ships' companies are rare whilst in the gulf, but occasional parties are landed. Should the fish be shy one may walk inland with a gun and bring down a bird or two. "The season" is now commencing and with a concentration in the gulf of all available ships it is hoped that during the next few months the traffic in arms will be brought to a standstill. The Persian authorities at Lina appealed to the officer of the boarding squadron for protection. Information had reached the Persians that brigands were marching to attack the town. Marines and bluejackets were landed and proceeded to mount guns for the protection of the town. To make certain of their cash the customs officers brought their bags of gold on board H. M. S. Fox. An incident with a distinctly humorous side enlivened subsequent proceedings, and something of the kind was badly needed because the enemy did not materialize. The pirate-brigand Shelkh Mazkur had heard of the Persians' difficulty and hurried to their "assistance." Seventy miles from Linga Mazkur landed, presumably to do a little raiding on his own account. Leaving his three horses he plunged island. While Rebent H. M. S. Odn came along and seized the three hows, which were towed to Linga. There it was discovered that Mazkur had, some time ago, taken one of the hows from some Persians, to whom is was returned. The other two hows were well saturated with kerosene and burned off the town as a warning to any persons who contemplated following the example of the sheikh. When the flames had attained a good hold a bag of powder on one of the dumps exploded, sending up a beautiful column of white smoke. **VED WIVES** were from two to five years apart. I turned around, and there was the present Mrs. Sutton looking at me with a smile on her face. "Look pretty, don't they?" she said. "You see, Ben likes to sit out here on the porch and look at the tombstones and tell me what a good wife Annie or Kate or Maggle or Jennie was to him. It doesn't hurt me, and he gets lots of fun out of it. "But you can bet your sweet life there is no place there for me. In the first place I made him promises me before we were married that he wouldn't put me there if I died before him. In the second, I mean to outlive him. You see, Ben looks pretty husky, but he is nearly 60, and I am not yet 30. "Oh, no, I don't mind the tombstones or the graves. For one thing, they keep negroes away from our place. You see there is the chicken coop on one side of the yard and the watermelon patch on the other, and you couldn't get a darky to go into either after sundown for any number of chickens or watermelons. "The only thing I mind about it is that people try to tease me and tell me that Ben's already got my tombstone ready lettered and all, except as to the date of my death, but I guess I'll fool them all." She did, too. Poor Ben was gathered away to her numerous predecessors within a year or two after that. I have never been down in that part of the state since then, so I don't know what she did with the tombstones." WEST'S GREAT DAM Shoshone Structure in Wyoming Is World's Highest. Erected in an Effort to Recalm the Aird Valleys in the Region Thereabouts—Will Water Thirsty Crops. Sheridan, Wyo.—Once a wilderness so unpromising that it evoked derision in the halls of congress, the west has become today the land of fortune and opportunity. In this land of boundless distances the altitude is stimulating, the air is a tonic, giving health to the infirm and courage to those who have failed elsewhere. Its constant sunshine encourages optimism and cheerfulness. The glories of its oval-tinted dawns, the indescribable beauty of its sunsets and the nameless witchery of its twilightly melting into night are the work of a divine painter. Its sculpture during untold centuries by wind and wave are unrivaled in their wonderful and varied coloring and in their awe-inspiring depths. Its deserts, in vastness of area, in potential wealth of soil and climate, and in rivers of constant supply, are sleeping empires awaiting exploitation and development. Here nature offers to every man his birthright—a wide sky, the sunshine, the wind and a sure reward for intelligent effort. It is our own land of mystery and enchantment, of crumbling ruins and of lost races which have utterly vanished. The late Governor John A. Johnson of Minneapolis took the west symbols “homes for the homestead” for the hungry, work for the unemployed, land for the landless, gold for the penniless, freedom for the enslaved, adventure for the restless. The Great Showhone Dam. dangers for the brave, an unknown world to conquer and room for all." in the swift march of national events during the past decade, the development of the west has focused the attention of the world. It furnishes one of the most inspiring pages in the annals of our commonwealth. It is a story of progress and human achievement—a battle with nature in her sternest and most forbidding aspect. But irrigation has wrought its miracle, and the wealth of that portion of the country which great statesmen in Webster's day were wont to declare worthless is greater now than that of the entire nation in 1860. Of especial interest is the project located in northern Wyoming. As the springtime showers and sunshine fall upon the snowy peaks of the lofty mountains on the eastern rim of Yellowstone park, a thousand streams rush downward to fill to brimming the swift-flowing Shoshone river. An important physical change will occur at such a time. The flood that once, unchecked and uncontrolled, swept mildly through the rock-walled gorge, will beat itself to stillness against a massive wall of concrete with which man has blocked a canyon. A beautiful lake, 100 feet deep and covering 10 square miles, will appear. In this wonderful gash in the mountains, with perpendicular walls a thousand feet deep, the highest dam in the world. It is a wedge of concrete 328 feet from base to top. Its height can only be appreciated when compared with that well-known structure, New York's famous Flatiron building would reach within 47 feet of the top of the dam, and the tip-of the dome of the United States capitol would fall 21 feet short of the paranet. In the summer, when the crops are thirsty, the big gates will be opened and the pent-up floods will be released into the river below. Another dam, a low structure of concrete, will divert the waters through a tunnel three ad a quarter miles long into a canal which for 40 miles passes along the upper edge of a broad and fertile valley containing 150,000 acres. Two years ago it was a desolate waste. Today it contains more than 200 farm houses and three thriving towns. Last year 10,000 acres produced crops on this project. The beacon of hope shines brightly in the west. It beckons the landless man to the manless land. 80,000 Seals Captured by One Boat, London—Eleven steamships of the Newfoundland sealing fleet have had fair catches, the Bonaventure, the first to return to St. John's, bringing back 80,000 seals. MEN'S PLUMED NIATS APPEAR Downy Adornment for Masculine Attire is the Greatest Departure in a Century. Chicago.—Plumed hats for men are the latest. They have made their appearance in Chicago and have caused a great wave of excitement among the fashionable men of the city. They are the biggest departure in masculine adornment made in a century, and are so decided a change from the conventional that leading hatters declare in men's formal attire will be about the extreme styles in men's plumed hats will not become popular at once, say experts. Extreme styles never do. But observant persons have noticed that for several years many of the better dressed men of Chicago have The Plumed Hat. worn a ruffed feather just above the bow of their dress hats. Recently this feather has been made a trifle larger until the leaders of fashion have accepted it as permanent feature of the thoroughly up-to-date hat. The most striking of the new hats are in the shape of the foreign Airline hat which comes in all colors and can be had with any style of trimming desired. One shown is of a light pearl gray and trimmed with a dark green plume, with a light border of rich yellow. A Paris milliner would call it striking. The same style with a long green quille makes another combination becoming to many faces. The Alpine hat admits of almost unlimited changes and will permit well-dressed men to show as much individuality in the matte the hard-crown women do not. The cern-crowned soft hat shown, with a novelty wing, is of dark gray and comes in many pretty shades of brown, which will harmonize well with the newer fabrics which the tailors have been importing for spring suits. Wearers of the always formal silk hat will also be able to take advantage of fashion's latest caprice and will not be denied the padded white and ray aligretes and other more conservative feathery effects can be added to the latest French style with the flat brim without defying the mandates of Dame Fashion. FOR CROSS-COUNTRY FLYING Aviators Gradually Turning Their Attention to More Important Phase of Sport. New York.—Cross-country flying is gradually attracting more and more attention on the part of aviators. This is, of course, as it should be. More racing around a track, for hours at a time, goes for nothing in indicating Pierre Vendrine of France. the value of the aeroplane. Gradually the short trips, so uncertain and dangerous, have been stretched out, until now 150 miles in an air line is a common occurrence, made in a single non-contact flight. One of the during cross-country flights is Pierre Vendrine, whose feats have astonished France. In one of these cross-country journeys he flew 181 miles and in another 121 Recently he flew from Paris to Fan, a distance of about 500 miles. Bargains in Bright Dollar Trenton—Because many foreigners in South Trenton were parking at half price with bright, new silver dollars bearing the date of 1879; it has been necessary for some of the banks to announce that these dollars are not counterfeit. The cry was raised among the small tradespeople that money of this particular date was no good, and several strangers have been going about collecting them. $2.40 PER YEAR Building Where Sat the First Senate and House. Congress Hall, Philadelphia, as it Is Today and as It Was in 1790 Where Washington Was Inaugurated. Philadelphia, Pa.—After 16 years of neglect or of futile attempts to start work, the Philadelphia city government has finally appropriated $80,000 for the restoration of Congress hall, located at Sixth and Chestnut streets, and for the erection of memorial lamps in Independence square. The first of the more recent attempts to restore the historic structure was made in 1838 by the Colonial Dames, who spent a great deal of time and considerable money to place the old senate chamber in the hall in approximately the same condition it was in a century before. The work was completed in 1846 and memorate the work in 1896. And that ended all work on the old building for another decade. About eight or nine years ago another piece of restoration was undertaken. The entrance on Sixth street was bricked up to make the exterior of the building coincide with its earlier design. This patriotic work was not without its cosmetic aspect, for in bricking up the entrance the stairway leading to the restored senate chamber was cut off and since 1902 access to the historic chamber has been barred to all. Since that time there has been a continual hue and color to have the old building restored to its pristine condition as far as possible and a commu- 1911 1790 Congress Hall, Philadelphia. tee from the Philadelphia chapter of the American Institute of Architects has been collecting the necessary data from which to base the proposed restoration. The architects literally have had to feel their way. They have consulted historians, old magazines and even an old caricature which contains the only known view of the interior of the house of representatives. Walls and partitions have been torn down partially in the hope of gaining knowledge as to their original construction, but there have been so many changes that the work has been a gigantic puzzle. The architects, however, believe that now they possess data from which it will be possible to reconstruct the building as it was when Washington presided over the president. Back in 1762 the Pennsylvania, then a province, acquired the land for the purpose of erecting there a building in which to hold courts. Not till 1785, after Pennsylvania had become a state, was money appropriated for the actual work of a building, but the actual work was not begun till a later date. In 1787 the lot was enlarged and convicts were put to work excavating. The building was completed in March, 1789. While the building was in course of erection the question of changing the seat of national government came up. New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia were bidders and the latter city strongly laded before congress the advantages of the new building. With this end in view the building was completed, not as intended with rooms for courts and civil officers, but with one general room occupying the entire ground floor for the house of representatives, and on the second floor a senate chamber and rooms for the vice-president and one other. Congress moved to Philadelphia in 1790 and occupied the building, since known as Congress hall, for the next ten years, when the capital was removed to Washington. After the removal of congress the building for many years was used as a court building, for the district court of Pennsylvania and the court of common pleas. The last court was removed from the building in 1895 and for a few years thereafter it was occupied by part of the law school of the University of Pennsylvania. The exterior of the building will not need to undergo much change to restore it to what it was in the days of Washington. After the changes are made in the interior it will be preserved purely as a historic place of national interest.

SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1911. THE HUMAN INTELLECT HAS CEASED TO GROW. Neville Champerlain, and English psychologist, after some years of study concludes that the human intellect has ceased to grow. Mr. Champerlain means that the brain capacity of the highest type of Caucasian of today is no higher than that of the cultured Greeks of 2,500 years ago, for instance. Mr. Champerlain calls attention to the fact that the Japanese, Chinese, Babus of India and Bushmen of Australia were regarded as peoples of inferior intelligence a half century ago on account of their crude civilization and moral codes. Now students from those countries in European universities compete successfully with the descendants of a line of men who have been in touch with what we regard as high civilization. Mr. Chamberlain might have also called attention to the Afro-American students, whose parents were slaves less than fifty years ago. They have shown the same mental capacity as the Caucasians and in many instances have outstripped their white fellow students and carried off the honors in M. B.

The alleged Christians in South Africa, who have proved to be experts in drawing the color line politically, have introduced it into the church as the following will show: "One of the clauses of the Dutch Reformed Churches Bill provides that in the United Church colored members of the Cape Church today will not be entitled to membership of the United Church in a neighboring Province. On this vital clause, which at the outset Mr. Louw, who is in charge of the Bill, declared to be an absolute essential to the Union of the Churches in the various Provinces, issue was joined, and a most memorable and dramatic debate resulted. Broadly, the supporters of the clause, prominent among whom was the Prime Minister, defended it on the ground that it followed the principle laid down in the Act of Union. The clause was denounced with passionate earnestness in notably eloquent speeches by Mr. Merriman, Mr. Quinn, Mr. Theo Schriener, and Sif George Farrar. The clause was defended in a rather notable speech by General Hertzog. The clause was carried on a division by 51 votes to 27. THE MISSISSIPPI "UPLIFT." Declaring Mississippi to have been a leader in all the gerat movements for the uplift of humanity, Representative E. S. Candler, Jr., of the First Mississippi district in an address before a large audience of Mississippiians at Washington, D. C., recently, reviewed the history of the state and praised the "uplift" movement. Representative Candler did not touch on national political questions, but praised Mississippi for being the first to enact legislation which in effect eliminates the Afro-American electorate. He also praised the many laws enacted by his home state for the purpose of "keeping the Negro in his place." Mr. Candler failed to refer to the "uplift movement" most popular in Mississippi, that is the "uplift" of a black man with one end of a rope around his neck, the other end being pulled by a mob of the "best citizens." In this "uplift" of the down trodden race, Mississippi has an unenviable record, and in the number of mob murders leads all states in the Union. As Mr. Candler is a member of the Baptist church and was at one time the moderator of the Fishomingo Baptist Association is not queer that he did not tell the whole truth and enumerate all of the things which have made Mississippi famous or infamous? CIVILIZATION CAME FROM AFRICA. Angelo Mosso, a famous Italian author, has written a book on "The Dawn of Mediterranean Civilization," in which he gives the Aryan theory a hard blow. Civilization didn't come from the East, he says, backing up what Prof. Sergi of the University of Rome and his followers have declared from time to time. "We found out things for ourselves and Africa supplied the rest of our knowledge." Not even in Egypt does the new school admit any great Asiatic influence. Before the Pharaohs came—that is, before 3000 B. C.—the customs and beliefs of the dynastic periods were well started. Mosso says naturalists are agreed in admitting the preponderating influence of Africa upon the population of Europe. From Africa man probably passed to Europe, and in the Stone Age had increased so as to form a considerable population. Certain scientists have for years declared that the fair races have always dominated their darker brethren and civilization came through them alone, so THE APEAL may be pardoned for expressing great satisfaction at the fall of the ARYAN theory. VILE CAUCASIANS Two men and a woman, all members of the "superior" race of Washington, D. C. were recently sentenced to short terms in the penitentiary for attempting to extort $5,000, by means of the "badger game," from a rich Hebrew, who had been lured to the woman's apartments, and had been photographed while with her. The pictures shown were the most obscene and the testimony of the details of the case was the vilest ever given in the Capital City and are a sad reflection on the degeneracy of the Caucasian American. The slums of Washington have never produced Negroes so degraded as these "superior" whites, and yet these "badgers" got off with two years each, while a black man was sentenced to fifteen years for snatching a white woman's pocketbook. PCSTMASTER GENERAL HITCH- COCK WIPES OUT POSTAL DEFICIT. Commencement at Howard University and Other Items of Interest From the Capital of the Nation. Washington, June 1.—President Taft is growing in favor all over the country. There is no question about his nomination and he will be received. It is true that the party is split to a certain extent, but the breeches will all be healed within the next twelve months and a united Republican party will march to victory next year. This fall the president will take a long swing through the West and it is very likely that he will tell of some of the great achievements of the present administration. President Taft has in many ways shown himself to be a true friend of the Afro American and he is becoming more and more popular among the thinking men of the race. This, is commencement week at Howard University. The report of President Thirkield, presented at the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees showed that great progress had been made during the past year. The student body has advanced from 800 to 1,828. Hon. James C. Napier, Register of the Treasury was elected a member of the Board of Trustees. The following faculty appointments were made: James S. Thomas, instructor in German; F. W. Frederick, instructor in engineering; R. M. Denning, instructor in mechanical drawing and civil engineering; Prof. E. E. Just, associate professor in biology; B. G. Brawley, professor of English language and literature; Charles S. Syphax, associate professor in the academy; Judge Robert H. Terrell, lecturer in the School of Law. Hon. A. H. Grimke ex-consul of the United States to Senator Domingo, delivered the address to the graduates. Among other things he said: "The problem of race restricts the scope of your employment and you must be more active and diligent if you wish to come from the battle of life victorious. Life is strife and its law is that of competition. It is a question of the survival of the strongest and the fittest." For the first time in the history of the service, the deficit in the Post Office Department has been entirely wiped out. This great achievement is due to Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock, who has just signed a warrant returning to the Secretary of the Treasury, $3,000,000, the last of the amount set apart from the public funds to assist in paying the expenses of the postal service for the present fiscal year. When Mr. Hitchcock became Postmaster General the annual deficit was $17,500,000 but it is estimated that at the end of the fiscal year, June 30, there will be a surplus of considerably more than $1,000,000. This paves the way for one cent postage, and that is the goal for which the Postmaster General is aiming as the crowning achievement of his administration. Prof. D. Webster Davis delivered a lecture Tuesday evening at Shiloh Baptist Church on "Fits and Misfits." He was introduced by Hon. W. H. Lewis, assistant attorney general. The proceeds will be used to purchase an oil painting of John Mercer Langston, which will be presented to Howard University. The students of the National Baptist Training School furnished the music. Secretary of the Treasury Franklin MacVeagh has returned to the city from the West where he has made several speeches endorsing the central reserve association plan of the monetary commission. Lord Percy, son of the Duke of Northumberland, an attache of the British Embassy at Washington, is the guest of Dr. Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee. He is studying the methods of education employed there. The Mertens Orchard Company owns an orchard of 42,000 acres which is being planted with apples. They have in their employ in this mammoth orchard about 500 men, the majority being Afro-Americans. Hon. Whitefield McKinley, collector of the Port of Washington has returned from his trip to Tuskegee, well pleased with what he saw there. Confirmation of the report, that in addition to admitting to Russia American Jews who go on business the Russian government is contemplating the abolition of the whole system of passports, has reached Washington. The advises to the State Department are unofficial but are regarded as accurate. This has come as the result of the continued protests of American Jews, and points the way for the Afro-Americans who suffer from injustice and wrongs in the South. Emphasizing the necessity of "getting together" former Senator Elmer J. Burkett made an address before the National Republican Club. "There isn't any place for a Republican except under the banner of Republicanism, and under that banner we'll conquer next year." There are more than two score candidates for the Haitian mission which pays $10,000 per year. Hon. W. T. Vernon, ex-register of the treasury, Phil Waters, Esq., of West Virginia, Hon. Charles W. Anderson of New York, Albert S. White, Esq., of Kentucky; John C. Buckner of Illinois; J. T. Settles of Tennessee; are being pushed by their respective delegations in congress, but the candidacy of the others is not taken seriously. The term of Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, member of the Board of Education, expires July 1. It is quite likely that she will be reappointed. Hon. James C. Napier, the new register of the treasury is a logical, forceful and eloquent public speaker and his services are in great demand all over the country. This week he is in Pittsburgh, Pa., where he delivers the commencement address at Avery College. The alumni of Howard University passed a resolution favoring Congressional supervision of Federal elections, and disapproving the disfranchising of Afro-American voters, at a business meeting held Tuesday morning. A luncheon was served at noon. The following officers were elected for the year: President, D. O. W. Holmes; vice presidents, Rev. D. E. Wiseman, James C. Napier, G. W. Atkinson, H. W. Bass, A. W.

NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE The National Negro Business League will hold its Twelfth Annual Meeting at Little Rock Arkansas, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 16th, 17th and 18th, 19th. Those intending to be present should notify W. M. Alexander, Chairman Committee on Homes, $504½ W. 9th Street, Little Rock, as early as possible. Governor George W. Donaghey, of Arkansas, is manifesting great interest in this coming meeting, and has assured the Local League of his entire willingness to do everything possible toward making the meeting a success. Governor Donaghey, the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce, and the most important white citizens of Little Rock joined with the Local League of Little Rock in inviting the National Organization to Little Rock. The national meetings of the National Negro Business League are nearly in creasing in value and helpfulness to the race. They bring progressive colored men and women together from every section of the country, and afford a chance to become acquainted and exchange ideas with each other. Hon. J. E. Bush, a member of the Executive Committee of the National organization, is the leading spirit in all of the activities now being made for the coming meeting, and is especially anxious to have Northern members of the League present in large numbers. "It is no further from New York to Little Rock than it is from Little Rock to New York, and Arkansas has always been largely represented at every meeting of the National Organization." Mr. Bush assures the Northern members that the progress which the colored people of Arkansas have made will fully warrant their coming South in large numbers. The railroads have already consented to make an attractive rate for this coming meeting, and delegates are especially urged to give attention to the matter of arranging for Pullman or tourist car parties.

WORLD'S CONGRESS OF RACES. Fifty Countries to be Represented at Gathering in London. The first Universal Races Congress, which promises to be one of the most influential gatherings yet held in London, will take place from July 26 to 29, under the presidency of Lord Weardale, at the Imperial Institute. Among those supporting the congress are representatives of 50 countries, over 25 presidents of parliaments, the majority of members of the Permanent Court of Arbitration, and of the delegates to the second Hague Conference, twelve British governors and eight British premiers, over 40 colonial bishops, 130 professors of international law, the leading anthropologists and sociologists, the officers and the majority of the council of the Interparliamentary Union, and other distinguished persons. The object of the congress is "to discuss in the light of modern knowledge and modern conscience the general relations subsisting between the peoples of the West and those of the East, between the so-called white and the so-called colored peoples, with a view to encouraging between them a fuller understanding, the most friendly feelings, and a heartier co-operation. The congress will be truly an assemblage of all the races of the world, and it is noteworthy that each race is represented by a paper from a distinguished member of the people concerned. The honorary general secretary is Gustav Spiller, 63 South Hull Park northwest. GRANDFATHER CLAUSE VOID. Judge John H. Cotteral of the United States District Court at Oklahoma City, Okla., has overruled the demurrier of defendants in the case of the United States against four election officers, holding the "grandfather clause" amendment to the state constitution invalid, because it is in violation of the Fifteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution. The power to grant the right to vote, the Court held, was not given to the Federal Government, but the Fifteenth Amendment decreed that the right to vote should not be denied any person because of "race, color or previous condition of servitude." To make the subjection of certain individuals to the "educational test" dependent on their condition before 1866 would make it dependent on their race and color, the Court held. The "grandfather clause" exempts from the "educational test" those whose ancestors were entitled to vote on January 1, 1866, or were residents of a foreign country. Under this clause Afro-Americans were denied the right to vote. AMERICA VS. INDIA. Dr. George A. Dorsy, who is traveling in India, writes: "America says all India is full of holy men, stammering gospelsp in strange tongues, shaken and consumed in the fires of their own zeal, dreamers, babblers, visionaries." And India replies: "The west is chaos; mountebanks and methodists, criminals, gamblers and graduates, populists and poets; whites, blacks and red skins—Christians, Unitarians and atheists; shams and delusions; reckless of life, impatient, restless, worried, mad, and everybody talking through his hat and nose."

The adventures of the two orphan girls suddenly. lett alone and ‘unprotected in Paris, are fraught with intense interest. One of the girls Is blind, and falls into the clutches of an old hag, Mother Frichard, who beats her and compels her to ‘beg in the snow covered streets of Paris while almost dying from hunger, cold end fatigue. ‘The cripple son of Mother Frichard falls in love with the blind girl and secks to save her from. the ‘wrath of lis mother and his big brutal brother, Jacques.

PAUL Requesting the Celebration of the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the J. Q. Adams' Editorship of the Appeal. St. Paul, Minn., April 24, 1911. Mr. J. Q. Adams. City My Dear Mr. Adams: As I had the honor, if such it may be denominated, of being the first editor of THE APPEAL, then known as the "Western Appeal," I have watched its course with, perhaps, more interest than that generally evinced by others. Having been so closely connected with its early history, and knowing something of the hardships that surrounded it then, and doubtless do still, I can have put forth in maintaining it and conducting it on the high plane upon which it has always stood, than can those who are not familiar with the business side of it. Since the advent of THE APPEAL there have been a number of publications started in this state under various auspices that passed from the field of action after brief and fitful existence, but THE APPEAL is still doing business at the old stand. Now, Mr. Editor, as the paper has been in existence since June 1885, and you became associated with it in 1886, this year is the twenty-fifth year of your connection with it as editor and manager, and I believe that this fact should entitle you to some special consideration at the hands of the people whom you have served in the past year, through your efforts, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of the paper was celebrated in a most fitting manner, and the entertainment and souvenir edition in connection with that occasion have never been equaled in Minnesota—nor elsewhere, for that matter. Since it was your able management that maintained the paper, some honor and credit is due you; and, I am one who delights "to do honor unto those to whom honor is due." And I believe the people of St. Paul, and throughout the state, will be glad to join in celebrating your twenty-fifth anniversary as editor-of THE APEAL. Your able management of the Quarter-Centennial Celebration of THE APEAL last year, was seen and recognized by every one who was present; and, if you, yourself, will take charge of the matter as you did then, I am confident that the public will feel satisfied that everything that can be done will be done to make the occasion a grand success, and that with me the people will willingly say: "Just you go ahead and we'll hold your coat." Very truly yours, F. D. Parker. Minneapolis, Minn., April 25, 1911. J. Q. Adams, Esq. St. Paul Minn. Since the Quarto-Centennial Celebration of last September, commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of THE APPEAL, was such an unprecedented success, from every point of view; and, is remembered, with pleasure, by every one who had the good fortune to be present on that, never-to-be-forgotten, occasion, it has occurred to me that another such an affair would be hailed as the greatest of them were present, as well as by those who some reason or another, were deprived of that blessed privilege; and who would not miss the opportunity if it was again offered to them. I also recall the fact that the twenty-fifth anniversary of your association with THE APPEAL occurs this year; and I feel that this is an event as worthy of being celebrated as the birth of the paper; if not more so. For, it undoubtedly is owing entirely to your managerial ability and indefatigable labors that THE APPEAL has been enabled to withstand the storms that have wrecked many like ventures upon the rocks of adversity. And it does seem to me that it will be very fitting and proper, for the people of the Twin Cities to show a just recognition of the herculean task you have accomplished in maintaining an organ in their interest for a quarter of a century, by tendering you a testimonial on the twenty-fifth anniversary of your connection with the paper, or, on such other date that in your judgment is more convenient or suitable. I would therefore suggest, if it meets your approval—as I know it will, the patrons of THE APPEAL and your friends generally—that you proceed to carry out that idea along the lines employed in the Quarto-Centenial Celebration of THE APPEAL last year. I have no especial suggestions to make, as the success of last year's affair, as well as many other social functions that have been under your control testify to your exceptionable ability to manage them "to a queen's taste," therefore, I feel sure you would carry this to a successful issue if you follow the bent of your own inclination. I am satisfied that I voice the sentiments of the people of Minneapolis. By a singular coincidence the letters above, reached THE APPEAL of fice this week. It is very gratifying, indeed, to receive such kind words and to be made to feel that we have not lived and labored in vain these many years, and that these people were so well pleased with the Quarto-Centennial of THE APPEAL, as stated by these correspondents. We would be pleased to hear from any others who desire to express themselves in regard to the proposed celebration of our twenty-fifth anniversary before fully deciding what action to take in the matter. So let us hear from the patrons of THE APPEAL. Anything the Matter With Your Stove? If there is anything the matter with your stove call on the St. Paul Stove Repair Works, 126 W. Sewent街.
