Germany watching Portugal.

The German government is watching
with the closest attention the progress
of events in Portugal. 1t is believed
that the French republic has an ulterior
design in according political sympathy
and financial aid to Portuguese at this
iuncture. The belief maintains that
France is hopeful that Portuguese opin-
ion is ready for the proclamation of the
republic, an event which would proba-
bly, be followed by the establishment of
a Spanish republic also.

NEGRO CONFERENCE.
A Southern Preachers views--Race Prog

Accommodation
LAKE MoHoNK, N. Y, June Sat
the session of the Lake Mohonk negro
conference Friday, Rev. A. L. Phillips,
southern delegate, made q speech in
favor of the education of the negro. The
time had come when northern teachers
would no longer be ostracized by the
southern whites. He urged, however,
that northern teachers, while maintain
ing business relations with the colored
people, should maintain social relations
only with the whites.
President Woodworth, of Tougaloo
university, Mississippi, gave valuable
paper ON the economic conditions of the
colored people in Mississippi, which he
thought were better than in any other
state. This was largely because the peo-
pie were essentially an agricultural peo-
pie. There were six colored physicians
in the state, eleven editors and nine col
ored lawyers One of them has many
white clients In the country he should
say that at least per cent. own homes,
and in the city about 20 per cent He
urged that the productive capacity of
the negro should be increased by educa-
ton. '"Train the girls in household
economies provide facilities for saving
and investment"
Professor Clark, of Smith college,
Massachusetts,, showed that the negro Is
best adapted to become the owner of
small piece of land under hard condi-
tions.
The president of the conference, Hon.
Rutherford b. Hayes, spoke in favor of
National education.
Recon- m endations.
The conference, at its closing session,
adopted the following recommendations
for which, it suggests, the friends Of tho
negro, north and south, should labor in
unison:
First-The accomplishing Of the educar
tion of the negro by the states themselves,
and the further development of means
and methods to this end until all negroes
are creditably trained in primary schools
Second-Largely increased support of
schools, aided by private benevolence,
which shall supply teachers and preachers
for the negro race.
Third-The grounding of these teachers
and preachers in the common English
studies and in the English Bible, with the
further opportunity for any Of them to
carry On any Ol bHeSe SJuultb IN ItF rs
they may desire.
Fourth-Thc greatest extension of in
dustrial education for both men and
women.
Fifth-The encouragement Of secondary
schools established, maintained and CON
Quoted by negroes,
Sixth-The purchase Of homesteads by
as many negro households as possible,
with an increase in the number of decent
houses to replace the old one-room cabin.
Seventh--The establishment by the gov
ernment of postal savings banks. by
which negroes can be encouraged to save
their earnings until they can purchase
homes.
Eighth-The aid of public education by
the National government for the especial
benefit of those sections in which illiteracy
most prevails.
Ninth-The removal of all the disabili-
ties under which negroes labor by the sure
forces of education, thrift and religion.

Newfoundland matter Fixed.

The Newfoundland delegates have ar
rived at satisfactory agreement with
the government for permanent act to
replace the three years measure passed
by the local legislature. Resistance on
the part of the French government is no
longer expected. Lord Salisbury has
sent only verbal information, merely as
matter of courtesy, to M. Ribot, the
French foreign minister, on the securing
of action on the part of the colony which
will assist the work of arbitration. The
communication is understood to imply
that the English foreign office does not
desire a response, and NJ Ribot has
tacitly accepted the position.

There is no doubt that Bismarck will secure
an immense majority. The Hanover Courier
