A NEW SCHEME.
President Strong Proposes an Agreement
for the Maintenance Of Rates.

CHICAGO, Dec. I4.-When President
Strong. OF. the Atchison, Topeka x Santa
Fe, was in Chicago about two weeks ago.
he submitted to the presidents Of the vari-
Gus roads plan for temporary agreement
on rates. 1t is designed to secure an abso-
lutte maintenance Of rates for period of
sixty days, commencing January 1. the
idea being to keep rates up to paying
basis during the winter season. or until
such time as the financial rulers of the
roads are ready to spring their next big
scheme.
The unusual feature of the plan is a
provision that if any subordinate officer
of any road that is party TO the agree
ment shall be found guilty of cutting
rates, he will be promptly Invested of the
rate making power. The question of guilt
in such cases is TO be decided by & majority
vote of the presidents.
The agreement. of course Will not be mt
into effect without the unanimous assent
OF the roads interested. There is consid-
cradle doubt as TO whether they can all be
beought into line. Thus far the agreement
has been signed only by the presidents of
the Atchison. Topeka x Santa Fe, the Rock
Island. the Northwestern and the Burling-
ton X Quincy. The plan was submitted
TO President Blackstone. of the Alton
and while he has not absolutely refused 10
sign II, there Is an impression that he will
refuse. Such an agreement would not
amount to much without the cooperation
of the Alton, and the chances seem that il
viii not be put into operation.

THE RACE PROBLEM.
A Remarkable Speech Before the Georgia
Legislature.

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 4.-In response to a
joint resolution, Hon. J. L. III. Curry,
late minister to Spain, today addressed
the legislature On education. He was III
troduced by President Dubignon. A part
of his speech, which attracted much atten-
ton, was as follows: 81 want to say to you
in perfect frankness than the man vino
thinks the negro problem has been settled
Is either fanatic or a fool. | stand
aghast at the problem. don't believe
civilization ever encountered one of great
er magnitude. 1t casts dark shadow
over your civilization, your churches,
your government of the future. 1t is
a great problem, which will tax your
energies. Georgia was once Sherman
lied Georgia, with the south African
led, as it may be, would be a
thousand times worse than Shermanzed.
but you may make the outlook as black as
possible, and yet | say ignorance and pow
erty are not remedies for the situation.
Better have them cultivated, better have
them intelligent preachers, intelligent in
dustry, improved homes. Which is better,
to brutalize, to pauperize, or humaniZe,
civilize and christianize. / leave it to you
to settle the problem. There are people

prepared to contest that proposition,
but l beg you to remember the negroes
and | am glad of it-have friends at the
north who are befriending them but they
are not coming to your relief; you must
help yourselves, if you need helping at all.

there is nothing in white skin, unless be-
hind that skin lie the hereditary expert
ences of centuries of good government.
know that the negro of Africa has no
invention, no discovery, no law, no liter
allure, no government, no civilization.
Why If you put the Caucasian under
the same environment and keep him there
ten or twenty centuries there will be no
invention, no science, no discovery, no
history, ITO civilization, among Caucas-
ians. Your ancestor and mine. a few wears
ago, were cannibals and pagans. There
have become what they are, not by virtue
of white skin, but by improving govern
ment and good laws. You let the negro
children get an education, when yours do
not, let the negro be superior to you in
culture and property. and you will
have back man S government. I'M
provement, cultivation, education is the
secret, the condition and guaranty of race
supremacy. l will assist you. perhaps, by
saying that if the negro developes and be-
comes IN culture, property and civilization

ought to rule. You see to it that he does

MORTON'S RECEPTION,
The Most Brilliant Social Event of the In
diana Capital.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 1.-THE public re-
ception tonight rendered at Tomlinson' S
hall to Vice President-elect and Mrs Nor
| ton by the citizens of indianapolis was the
most brilliant affair Of the kind ever wit
messed in this city.
Shortly after o'clock Mr. Morton en-
tered, accompanied by Mrs. Harrison and
followed by General Harrison escorting
Mrs. Bergland. They took their places on
the center of the line of distinguished
guests. The ladies were in street cos
tunes. Mrs. Harrison wore brown
lace lace Mrs. Mckee steel blue with
brown passementerie. The gentlemen
wore Prince Alberts. Next to General
Harrison and Mrs. Bergland stood Mrs. j.
r. Mckee, the handsome daughter of the
president-elect, with her sister-in-law Mrs.
Edward Mckee. Then followed Governor
and Mrs Gray, Mayor and Mrs, Dendy, Mr..
Pierre Gray and wife and the others in
vited At the head of the line stood the
vice-president-elect with Mrs. Harrison.
Long before the appointed hour the
crowd began to collect about the hall and
as soon as the doors were opened the great
galleries were filled with prominent society
people.
On the floor of the hall and around the
sides had been placed seats which were
quickly filled. Perhaps $500 people We're
seated in the galleries watching the brill
liant spectacle before them. The center of
the hall was unoccupied. The crowd was
admitted at the front entrance on Market
street and passed slowly down the hall in
line, two abreast, and shook hands with
Mr., Morton and General Harrison. Many
Of them also shock HANDS with Mrs. Har-
rison, but after a half hour the ladies,
being tired, stepped back and occupied
seats the remainder Of the
evening, Mrs. Harrison occasionally COM
ing forward, sometimes to the generals
side and again by the side Of Mr.. Morton.
1t is estimated that 10000 people passed
through the hall, not all Of whom, how
ever, had chance to shake hands with
the president and vice president-elect and
two or three thousand moro were disap-
pointed.
One of the incidents OF the eve
ming was General Harrison's kiss
ing little girl who ran toward
him. Shortly after 10 o'clock the presi-
Dental party left the hall and took their

BOUND TO QUIT.
Resignation of United States District At
torneY Sellers.

| INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 14.-Anent the Asso-
| ciated Press telegram from Washington
stating that United States District Attor-
ney Emery B. Sellers had telegraphed the
attorney general insisting upon the
acceptance Of his resignation, Colonel
Sellers must have wired from his
home at Monticello, as he has not re-
turned to this city, and from all indications
he does not propose to return at any very
early day. A close personal and profess
teresting statement tonight that rlast
Saturday Sellers had his entire private
library quietly boxed and shipped to
Monticello, that he also filed with the
clerk of the United State court his
account for fees up To the 18th instant,
the date Of his resignation. This fee
account was for about half of the cur
rent quarter, and, rs such ac-
counts are never filed until the end of each
quarter, it is conclusive evidence that Mr..
Sellers has quilted the Office for good, in
spite of the presidents protest and the at
torney generals remonstrance. A promi-
nent Democrat, speaking of the intima-
ton that the president might conclude to
dismiss Sellers instead of accepting his
resignation, said:
THAT would make no difference with
Sellers; he wants out Of the office and is
determined to get out. 1t won't make a
particle Of difference to Sellers whether he
kicked out by Cleveland or permitted to
quietly walk out as is customary"
This seems to be the sentiment of a num-
Der of Democrats. 1t is also believed by
them that the president Will make
no appointments, but will allow
Assistant District Attorney Bailey
TO act as usual until the new administra-
tion comes into power. 1t is thought it
Bailey should be nominated to succeed Sell
lers, Gen. Harrison's friends would not
hesitate moment to bring all the party
influence at their command to de-
feat his confirmation, as Mr.. Bal
ley's speeches during the campaign were
of personal and aggrayating charac-
ter It transpires that Mr.. Sellers had
two law partners instead of one. Judge
Reynolds, as at first given out He took
new partner Immediately after Reynolds
was elected, and local attorneys say they
can see no reason why the new partner
could not have held the business until the
expiration of Sellers term of office. This
fact is commented upon as another proof
that Mr.. Sellers had other reasons for rea-
son for resigning, and it Is pretty gener-
ally conceded now that the moving reason
was his firm professional belief that DO
case had been made out against General
Dudley, and he did not propose to carry
on long prosecution against his own
convictions
