f THE NEGRE’S FUTURE
Booker T. Washington’s Wise
Counsel to His People.
INDUSTRY AND INTELLIGENCE NEEDED
He Thanks Georgia’s Governor For
His Manly Enforcement of Law
and Believes In the Ultimate
Prosperity of the Race.
ATLANTA, Sept. 26.—Five hundred
negrocs heard Booker T. \Vashington,
president of the Tuskegee Normal and In-
dustrial School For Negroes at Tuskegee,
Ala., deliver an address here last night on
the "Race Problem In the Light of Euro—
pean Travel.” Among the other speakers
was Governor Candler, who welcomed
Professor \Vashington on behalf of the
state. The governor said he was aston-
ished when he contemplated the progress
made by the negroes during 30 years of
freedom. The cause of the negrocs‘ plight,
Governor Candler said, was the “dirty"
politicians. He advised the negrccs to
listen to Professor \Vashington, as he
could lead them to attain a position no.
politician could ever attain for them.
Professor \Vashington took occasion to
thank the governor of Georgia in the
name of the negro race and all good peo-
ple throughout the country for the manly
and courageous manner in which he is
having the law for the protection of hu-
man life enforced in this state. The
speaker believed the governor had the
aid and sympathy of every man, white
and black, in the state. ,
, “With the cleanest and strongest mem-
bers of both races standing shoulder to
shoulder in favor of blotting out crimes,”
said Mr. Washington, “there can be no
doubt as to the future prosperity and
happiness of each race.
“I heard a few days ago,” continued
Professor \Vashington, “that it had been
reported that I came back from Europe
discouraged and disheartened as to the
condition, and prospects of my race in
this country. So far from this being true,
I? have never felt more hopeful about the
future of the race than I feel at present.
fipther evidence were needed, the mgr:
prewar-st} you swagger-Inigo and oth-
er officials t’onight isfii‘oof that the south
desires the elevation and 119R the degra-
dation of the negro; that the south de-
sires to encourage him and not oppress
him: I have unwavering faith in the
indence of God. Who knows but that
events within fig last year have been
God’s way of teaching the race that it
mii’s'u make friends in every manly way
with people among whom it lives and up—
on'-vvl:lom in a cerium measure it depends
forrdlaily subsistence.
“Our problem is not to be solved by
looking to congrgss 9.? to the north alone,
but by the Pepi'itation that each individu-
al creates for himself in his own com-
munity and county.
“So long as the negro is permitted un-
molested to secure education, property,
employment and is given the protection
of ,the law I shall have great faith in our
being able to work out our own destiny.
The south has been guilty of a great
many crimes, but I believe that it has
rarely if ever been guilty of murdering
men simply because they sought honest
employment. There is little difference
between‘the slavery that compels a man
to work without pay and that which
forces him to refrain from working for
985’-
“Over and over again while in Europe
I had constantly impressed upon me the-
advantage which the negro has in the
south in the opportunity to enter success—
ful business as compared with poor peo-
ple in EurOpe. '
“In proportion as the negro grows in-
telligent, industrious and good at heart in
the same proportion will the white man
be helped. In proportion as the white
man permits himself to oppress the negro
in the same degree is the white man de-
graded and his progress retarded. In
proportion as the white man becomes in-
telligent and prosperous in the same de-
gree does he learn to accord the negro
the rights that belong to man.
“The years that we are now passing
through are serious and trying ones so
far as the question of the white and
black races are concerned. I may not be
able to advise that which will bring a
complete remedy for all our ills, but I be-
lieve that there never was a time when
the negro needed to give more attention to
the matter of making himself intelligent,
industrious, law abiding and to the culti-
vation of high moral habits.”

Double Dealing Denied.
soII'III AFRICANS ELIIIEE Full 9th
NoGround For Misupprelxcusion Ile-
g’nrding Suzerainty—Demund For
Use of English Language Re.-
garded as Reasonable.
LONDON, Sept. 26.—The officials of
the foreign oiiicc havcgiven out the text of
the letter from the secretary of state for
the colonies, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, to
the British high commissioner in South
Africa, Sir Alfred Milner, dated Sept. 22.
The British reply expresses regret that
her majesty’s offer, No. 5, of Sept. 8 had
been refused and says: ‘
-“The object. her majesty’s government
had in view in the recent negotiations
has been stated in a manner which can-
not admit of misapprehension—viz, to
obtain such substantial and immediate
representation for the uitlanders as will
enable them to secure for themselves that
fair and just treatment which was fOI'Iil-
ally promised them in 1881' and which
her majesty intended to secure for them
when she granted privileges of self gov-
ernment to the Transvaal. No conditions
less comprehensive than those contained
in the telegram of Sept. 8 can be relied on
to effect this object. The refusal of the
South African government to entertain
the offer thus made, coming as it does
after four months of protracted negotia-
tions, themselves the climax of five years
of extended agitation, makes it useless to
further pursue the discussion on the lines
hitherto followed, and the imperial gov-
ernment is now compelled to consider the
situation afresh and formulate new pro«
posals for a final settlement of the issues
which have been created in South Africa
by the policy constantly followed for
many years by the government of South
Africa. They will communicate the result
of their deliberations in a later dis-
patch.” .
In a later communication, dated Sept.
22, the imperial government takes up the
charge of breach of faith insinuated by
Secretary of State Reitz Sept. 16,
“which,” it is pointed out, “we cannot
pass over in silence.” Mr. Chamberlain
then says:
“The proposals made by the South
African Republic in its letters of Aug. 19
and 20 were not induced by suggestions
given by the British agent from the state
attorney, as claimed, and that, on the
contrary, the state attorney sounded the
British agent both in writing and in con-
versation as to the conditions which the
imperial government would waive the in-
vitation to a joint inquiry, and the result
of these communications was proposals
made by the South African government
in those letters. It is impossible that the
South African government could have
had any doubt as to the imperial govern-
ment‘s answer to the conditions named,
and my reply was actually the same as
the British agent had foreshadowed to
the state attorney and which, therefore,
they must have anticipated in making
the proposals.
“The imperial government also denies
that its telegram of Sept. S substituted
an entirely new proposal for the invita-
tion to the joint commission of inquiry.
“The imperial government sees no
ground for misapprehension on the part
of the South African Republic as to its
.answer regarding noninterference and
suzerainty, as the imperial government
had already stated that it would not
press for the appointment of a joint com-
mission of inquiry in view of the fact
that such an inquiry would, in the opin-
ion of the government of the South Afri-
can Republic, prejudice the right of full
independence repeatedly recognized by
the imperial government. -
“As to the use of the English language
in the volksraad, the imperial govern-
ment regards this as reasonable and is
astonished that the government of the
South African Republic should deem it
unnecessary and make a point of denying
that the government of the South Afris
can Republic ever proposed the same to
the British agent.”
A special dispatch from Pretoria says
that the members of the volksraad, be-
lieving that the British notes are intend-
ed to gain time for the concentration of
troops. urge the government to adjourn
the raad immediately and to send Great
Britain a note declaring that further m0-
bilization will be regarded as an unfriend-
ly act.

Cannon Destroyed and the
Enemy’s Fire Silenced.
MANILA, Sept. 25.—The United
States cruiser Charleston, the monitor
Monterey andvthe gunboats Concord and
Zafiro, with marines and bluejackets
from the cruiser Baltimore, left Cavite'
Sept. 18 and, as already cabled, proceed-
ed to Subig bay to destroy an insurgent
cannon there.
Owing to the bad weather the opcra~
tion was postponed until Saturday, when
the warships for three hours bombarded
the town of Olangapo and the intrenchv
ments where the gun was situated.
Menfrom the Charleston, Concord and
Zafiro were thcn'landcd under a heavy
insurgent fire, proceeding to the cannon,
which was utterly destroyed by guncot-
ton, and then returning to the warships.
The Americans had one man wounded
during the engagement.
“7hile'waiting in Subig bay for better
weather the Americans descried Filipino
re-enforc‘emcnts moving toward Olanga-
po. At 6:40 a. m. the Monterey began the
advance upon the town, which was about
three miles east of the monitor’s anchor-
age. The Charleston, Concord and Zafiro
followed.
At 7:25 the Montcrey opened fire with
her secondary and main batteries. the
Charleston and Concord joining immedi-
ately. At 7:38 the insurgent cannon an-
swered, the first shot passing- close to the
Monterey’s smokestac‘k. The gun was
fired twice only.
The American bombarding then became
general. At 9:30 the Monterey advanced
to a range of 000 yards, using her main
battery. Two hundred and fifty men
were landed about 800 yards east of the
cannon at 11 o'clock, under a severe shore
Mauser fire. The men from the Charles-
ton were the first to reach the beach, but
the Concord’s men were the first at the
gun. The cannon was found to be a 10'
centimeter Krupp gun, presumably ob-
tained from the Spaniards.
Meanwhile the warships continued to
shell the shelving beach on the east and
west side to silence the insurgent fire up-
on the sailors from the trenches skirting
the beach.
Gunner Olsen exploded 50 pounds of
guncotton in three discharges in the can-
non, which had suffered from the fire of
the warships.
The Americans then returned to the
boats, the firing inland being kept up to
protect the embarkation. The Concord's
men were the last to leave the shore.
and the warships were reached at 12:30
p. m.
Cadet Brinser, with the Concord‘s
launch, armed with a Gatling, did excel-
lent work on the left of the landing par-
ty. Captain Myers of the marines cap-
tgred a muzzle Loading field piece. Lieu—
tEnafit McDonald was in command of
the landing party, and the movement was
splendidly executed and controlled.
The numbers of the Filipinos there
could not be ascertained, and no dead
were seen. The Monterey fired for four
hours, 21 shots from her 10 inch guns
and 17 from her 12 inch guns. The town,
which was riddled with shells, took fire
at several points. - ..

MISS GRANT MARRIED
Becomes the Wife of a. Rus-

A TWICE PERFORMED CEREROEY.
Quaint Marriage Rites of the Greek
Church to Be Followed by Nun-
tluln In Accordance “’ith
American Statutes.
NEIVPORT, R. I., Sept. 25.—-In ac-
cordance with the rites of the Russian
Orthodox church, Miss Julia Dent Grant,
daughter of Brigadier General and Mrs.
Frederick D. Grant and granddaughter
of one of America’s greatest military
leaders, General Ulysses S. Grant, last
night became the bride of Prince Canta-
cuzene, Count Speransky, of Russia after
simple but impressive ceremonies con-
ducted by Father Hotovitsky of the Rus-
sian church, New York.
The American statutes are yet to be
conformed to before the distingu‘ 'hed
couple can go forth into the world a us-
band and wife, and it is that ceremony in
All Saints’ Episcopal church today at.
noon to which the summer colony here,
as well as numerous friends, diplomatic,
military and civil, have been looking for-
ward to with eager expectancy. Still the
unfamiliar service last evening in the
parlor of Beaulieu, the summer residence
of Mr. and ‘Mrs. Potter Palmer, uncle
and aunt of the bride, had charms which
did not fail to impress the few who wit~
nessed it, as it was entirely in keeping
with the somewhat novel marriage of an
American girl to a foreign nobleman. A
special altar had been raised in the par-
lor by Father Hotovitsky and his assist-
ant. After the room had been formally
consecrated, at half past 8 o’clock, the
bride appeared at the head of the grand
staircase leaning on the arm of her broth-
er, Ulysses S. Grant, third, while at the
altar, before which stood the Russian
divine, waited Prince Cantacuzene, clad
in the full uniform of the Chevalier garde.
The bride’s dress was severely cut and
was a simple gown of the richest white
satin, with swooping train and veil of
tulle. She carried a bouquet of stephano-
tis and lilies of the valley and wore the
gifts of the bridegroom, a corsage orna-
ment of diamonds and enamel and a rope
of pearls.
The following ushers preceded Miss
Grant and her brother to the altar: Pot--
ter Palmer, Jr., cousin of the bride:
Lockwood Honore, uncle of the bride:
Captain Sartoris, formerly of General
Fitz-Hugh Lee’s staff during the Spanish
war; Robert L. Gerry of New York, H.
Roger! Winthrop of Newport and John
Prentiss of New York.
In accordance with the Russian cus-
tom, Miss Grant had two garcon de noce,
her brother, Ulysses S. Grant, third, and
her uncle, Mr. Adrian Honore, those of
Prince Cantacuzene being Messrs. Hon-
ore Palmer and Potter Palmer, J r., while
the par‘rains d’honcur were Grand Duke
Vladimir and Mrs. Potter Palmer.
Mr. Grant conducted his sister to the
altar in the absence of General Fred D.
Grant, now serving in the Philippines.
The picturesque ritual, interspersed with
frequent music' by a local quartet, was
quite lengthy, the sacred rites of the be-
trothal marriage being especially inter-
esting and impressive. The services
closed with the singing of the Russian
national hymn, after which the couple
received congratulations, while the or-
chestra discoursed sweet music. The
ceremony consumed fully an hour, and it
was nearly midnight before the guests
finally departgd.

GRAND ARMY HAS BEEN ILL TREATED
“flint Is Accorded the Veterans of
'Other States Should Be Granted
New York Comrades—No Tail
' End Places Accepted.
VVATERTOWN, N. Y., Sept. 25.——Gen-
oral Albert D. Shaw, commander in chief
of the G. A. R., before leaving last night
for Topeka, where this week he will ad-
dress a reunion of the veterans of that
state, said to a press representative in
reply to inquiries regarding Grand Army
matters: ‘
“I regret all this trouble over the
Grand Army’s position in the Dewey pa-
rade, but it is from no fault of omission
or commission on the part of the duly
constituted authorities of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
' “‘We believe what is accorded veterans
in other states should be granted New
York comrades, without any wabbling or
special pleading. However, when we old
veterans are gone, the armed soldiers
who are yet to fight battles will not be
worried about having aged veterans, who
have stacked arms on ‘fame’s eternal
camping grounds,’ trouble them over
hair splitting questions of where the na‘
tion’s preservers should march in a civic
pageant similar to the Rewey parade.
“I will not be at the Dewey parade. I
leave for Topeka to be present at a great
gathering of veteranse Sept. 27 and 28.
Before I was elected I promised to go
out there. IVhen the question of the
Grand Army appearing in the Dewey pa-
rade came up, I wrote that this civic
function might prevent my being with
the Kansas comrades; I was sharply
taken to task for this by the committee
at Topeka, which wired me that all ar—
rangements had been made for my recep-
tion and added, ‘It is more important for
you to be here than in New York.’ The
Kansas comrades always head the line in
civic pageants of honor and ceremony.
TIL/3;: trail not behind younger men who
have their records to make. but march at
the front with Old Glory as a guide,
which they helped to make the emblem
of a united and a glorious nation. Under
these circumstances and not having re-
ceived any invitation from the Dewey
parade committee I go to Topeka. I do
not know why I should have been slight-
ed in my capacity as commander in chief,
and I am proud my comrades are widely
and emphatically resenting.”
General Shaw has received a large
number of indorsements of his action
from leading Grand Army officials and
posts regarding the refusal to accept a
tail end. place in the Dewey parade.
Ill Fated Transport Returns.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25.—The

temper was developed among the horses,

viving horses. The transport then start-

Sharp Measures For Inciters

ORDER WILL BE IIIIIIIIIEEI).
Military Governor Issues a strong”
Proclamation \Vhloh “fill Proba-
bly Check the Labor Troubles.
A General Strike Unlikely.
HAVANA, Sept. 27.—-“There will not
be a general strike,” said General Lud-
low last evening. “I have sufficient as:
surances to satisfy me on this point."'
Civil Governor Rivera says the matter is
out. of his hands and entirely within the
Jurisdiction of the military authorities.
To all intents and purposes the city is
under martial law. The civil authorities,
will do their utmost to co-operate and"
will do nothing to embarrass the military
governor.
The cigar makers, cab drivers and bus
men have not yet joined in the strike.
but it is rumored that the latter two will,
strike today owing to the fact that their
cabs have been stolen.
General Ludlow says that if it should
be necessary he can find room at the Pre-
sidio for 1,000 prisoners and at Cabanas
for; as many more. Where all the rights
of citizens are at stake he considers that
the existing military power should super-
sede any legal technicality.
The military governor has issued a long ‘I
proclamation, which is in part as follows:
"To the People of Havana:
“At the present juncture, when certain
irresponsible and seditious individuals
are seeking to destroy the peaceful in-
dustries of the city and to mislead the
workingmen into a general conspiracy to
paralyze the life and movement of the
community, it behooves me, in the inter-
est of all concerned and as the imme-
diate representative of the United States
government, to publish a word of warn—
mg.
“The United States of America is
pledged to the establishment in Cuba of
a stable and orderly government. A
pledge made alike to Cubans and to the
world will surely be fulfilled. Every en-
deavor will be made to~inculcate the
principles of self government, the foun-
dation of which is true, self respecting
liberty. Modern civilization demands an
enduring respect for law and the rights
and liberties of others.
"The workingmcn of Havana are be- I.
ing tempted toward a fatal step, which
if taken will set back their exercise of
liberty and the enjoyment of the rights
of man for an indefinite period. They are
being urged to a general strike, to a total
suspension of the accustomed occupations
and labors which are essential to the
common welfare and upon which depend
even the very lives of the people. The
reason assigned is a demand for a work-
ing day of eight hours.
“At'the instigation of a few self seek-
ing demagogues, backed by a more nu—
merous element that prefers idleness to
labor and excitement of any kind to the
calmer life of thrift and protection of
the family, the workingmen of Havana
are urged to forego all labor, to extin—
guish the lights that protect property and
discourage crime, to close the bake shops
that furnish food and, if that could be
accomplished, to cut off the water sup-
ply. Meanwhile the trades and occupa-
tions are to be abandoned, industry is to
perish and food is to fail.
“It‘ is known to the authorities that but ’
a small proportion of the workingmen
are in sympathy with the movement and
that the majority have been coerced int
assent. Let there be no misunderstand-
ing as to the outcome. Order will be"
maintained. Violence and tumult will
be crushed. ‘Where so much is at stake
there will be no hesitation in applying
such remedial and correctional measures
as may be necessary to preserve the
peace and safety of the city.”

Killed Himself, but Not His Wife.
PITTSBURG, Sept. 27.—A. P. Ste-
phenson, a prominent and wealthy mer-
chant of this city, tried to kill his wife
last evening and then committed suicide.
Stephenson had been drinking heavily
for several weeks and during fits of mel-
ancholy had frequently threatened to kill
himself. At dinner last evening he quar-
reled with his wife and without warning
drew a revolver and fired at her. The
bullet missed its mark, and Mrs. Ste-
phenson, grabbing up her youngest child,
ran into the kitchen. Stephenson fol-
lowed and fired two more shots without
effect, and then his wife ran into the
yard, where the infuriated man fired
again, and Mrs. Stephenson fainted. Be-
lieving that he had killed her, he\ placed
the revolver to his temple and fired, kill-
ing himself instantly.
