A Colored Man Declares That the Negro
Must Have His Rights.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 15.-The national
convention of Afro-American leagues is
in session. T. L. Fortune, editor of the
New York Age, was made chairman. The
rest of the morning session was devoted to
the appointment of committees.
In the afternoon MIR. Fortune was called
upon to address the convention. He be-
gan:
1--WE are met here today representatives
of 8, 100000 men who know our rights and
have che courage to defend them, We are
met here today to emphasize the fact that
the past condition of dependence and
us for selfish and unholy purposes.
who have murdered and robbed
and outraged us. must be reversed. 1t is
time to call halt. 1t is time to begin to
fight fire with fire." Proceeding, he said.
1--WE propose to accomplish our purposes
by the peaceful methods of agitation
through the ballot and the courts, but if
others use the weapons of violence to COM
bat our peaceful arguments it is not for US
to run away. What is worth having is
worth fighting for"

ocrat, Nashville American and number
of other papers in the south, left the city
by an early evening train. In an inter
view he declared the proceedings were de-
prived of any practical force by the
absence of delegates from the south where
the colored people were most vitality inter-
ested in the race question. In addition,
the leaders in whom the colored popula-
ton of the country had confidence, were
absent almost to man, notably the color
ed bishops and other clergy. Mr.. Taylor
said he had written nothing as to the work
of the convention; that the occasion did
not demand it.

The weIR-MuRPHY Eight.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. 15.-The Weir
Murphy battle is the all-absorbing subject
of conversation here. The newspapers of
San Francisco, without exception, seem to
think Weir did the flake act" while a
vast majority concur in their views
Yovr correspondent today heard on good
authority. that up to and including the
fifth round, when Murphy had not landed

receiving direct communication from the
club as to how the battle was going. In
the club room prevailing odds were to

other followers of Weir claim that the
Spider" did not train conscientiously for
even one day. He was intoxicated Friday
night in LaBlanche's saloon, where he
had rough-and-tumble fight, and that
his stomach went back on him in the
thirteenth round, rendering him as weak
as a cat. This seems strange, however, In
view of the fact that after Weir had been
counted out, he arose and fought his sec
onds like an enraged tiger. Altogether 1t
is hard to say whether Weir "faked' or
became exhausted. Murphy's face looks
today as if he had been in a dynamite ex-
plosion; Weir shows few signs of punish
ment. Spider" says he is not through
With Murphy, and that he can get backing
to almost any amount for a fight at l2O
pounds with skin gloves or bare 'uns

Weir is the toughest nut he ever cracked

however, find few followers here under the
although he is conceded to
be the cleverest man ever seen in ring IN
San Francisco, not excepting Peter Jack

purse, is in the hands of Richard h. Fox,
