Gen. r. Brinkerhoff, who visited Savan-
nah few weeks ago. and who is known
throughout the country in connection
with his prison reform work, on his re.
turn to his home in Ohio was interviewed
with reference to the race problem in the
South.
Gen. Brinkerhoff says very frankly that
the problem is very much greater than
the Northern people have any idea of, and
that it is folly for the Northern people to
discuss il as if they knew exactly how to
solve it, and would solve it if they had it
to deal with.
The Southern people, Gen. BrinkerhOf
says, know a great deal more about the
colored people than the people of the North
do, and are much more likely to reach
safe and satisfactory solution of the
race problem than the Northern people
would be if they were required to solve it.
He emphatically denies that there is
any promise of amalgamation of the
races. According to his observation the
negro is losing whatever white blood
there is in mis- veins, and he thinks the
time is coming when a mulattO or a quad
room will be quite uncommon.
OF course he does not pretend to say
what, in his opinion, will be the solution
of the race problem. He heard it dis
cussed at the South from every stand
point, and by many who have given it
great deal of thought. lie is satisfied,
however, that the Southern people will
treat the negro fairly, and will do all they
can to improve his moral, mental and
material condition; and he is very free to
say that the negro's moral condition is in
great need of Improvement.

Father Andre has made public a
complaint that the Canadian volun-
teers committed undue depredations
in the rebel territory. He atfirms,
from his own observation, that for
distance of twenty-five miles all the
houses on the south bank of the
Saskatchewan were sacked and plum
dered, and over twenty of them
burned and razed to the ground;
also, that the volunteers pillaged
the inhabitants of all they had in
the way of horses, goods and clothes,
leaving them only what they had on
their backs. ''The result of all
this is" he says, "that our poor

WAR PREPARATIONS

At a banquet in London by the
Empire Club, Admirals Hewitt, Has
kins and Hopkins declared that the
British Navy, despite its failings,
was equal to those of any other two
nations combined.
A Herat letter of July 30th states
that 1900 men are engaged con-
stantly in the work of repairing forts
and erecting great bastions. The
writer asserts there is great enthu-
siasm among the citizens, and they
are determined in their resolution to
defend the city from Russian at
tack.
A despatch received in London
from Shanghai, on Aug. 18th, con-
firms the recent report to the effect
that the Russians had occupied the
Island of Quelpoert, at the entrance
to the Yellow Sea and to the south
of the Corean peninsula, and some
forty miles to the northeast of Port
Hamilton, recently reported occupi-
ed by England. Russian troops are
erecting formidable forts on the
island and otherwise adding to its
defensive arrangements. The news
caused little or no excitement in
official circles in London, as Quel-
poert has not single harbor and its
coasts are exposed to the full blasts
of the monsoon, and being high and
rocky, are exceedingly dangerous to
navigation.
From Teheran, Aug. 18th, it is
