la L1erie thinks that the decree was I'M
justified, but says it will not change the
existing relations between the two coun-
tries. The other papers are moro bitter IN
their tone. la France says that the inhabi-
tants of Asace-L Lorraine do not deserve an
alienation OF their lot as the price OF re-
nouncing all hope of ever reJoining France.

THE NEGRO PROBLEM
As Viewed by "A Massachusetts Man-Tho
Force BIZ.

Force BIZ.
Below are gwen extracts from a letter
from resident OF Quincy, Mass, to Mr..
Henry i. Lamb. of Newport News. which
will prove interesting as showing how the
eyes Of northern people are being opened
TO the true situation In the South. Mr..
Lamb Is a northern man by birth himself,
who "sees things az they are" here. The
Quincy gentleman says:
HoAR's STOCK IN TRADE.
Il was very much pleased to receive
yOur interesting letter from Newport News.
/ think the view that You take of the race
problem as you see practically presented
at the South IS a very striking one, winch
many people up North here would dOiwell to
consider. If the northerners had chance
to live at the South and see for themselves
what social mixture with the negroes really
means ! don't think many of them would
be so fierce to try and impose it upon their
south I'm brethren. Take o man like Alr.
boar for example. He has never lived at
the South, and his whole stock iii trade,
politically. has been in late years to mis-
represent the people Of that region as
much as possible. / am exceedingly glad
that his pet scheme TO Cypress the South
through the provisions of that force bill
has come to nausht.
ARE LOWER TYPE.
THE truth is the negroes are lower
type Of beings. and not itted at present
for the appreciation and proper exercise
of political rights. 1t was a mistake to
confer upon them in the way il was done
the right of suffrage. When that was
gwen there should have been some pro-
vision made that would exclude the utterly
ignorant and degraded ones from lts pos
session, and thereby have prevented the
Wholesale corruption. violence and trou-
ble5 Of every kind that grew out Of the
attempt to maintain the carpet-bag gov
ernments through bayonet rule and
negro suffrage. Your view has the great
merit of being founded on personal obser-
walton of the negroes and the general con-
dition of things at the South. lam very
glad TO see that a. you GO on your pilgrim
age through what is sometimes called this
vale of tears" you take advantage
of good opportunities to observe the les
son they teach.
SOUTHERN LOYALTY TO THEIR LEADERS.
THE people of the South are very loyal
TO their old leaders, and ! am very glad OF
it. l should be ashamed of them if they
were not. No people could 90 through
the sacrifices the sOutherners went through
in company with their chosen generals
and public men and not feel a strong senti-
ment OF loyalty to men who proved them
selves 50 brave and constant as did the
southern leaders. The time has gone by
when any man at the North IS justIhed In
abusing either the people of the South or
those whom they trusted and followed:
The sentiments of Hoar are hateful, ana
are not shared by the men of to-day at the
North or West. l rejoice at this change,
which seems TO me TO mark the dawn OF
new and better era for our country"

THE WORLDS FAIR DIRECTORY.
New Set of Bylaws Which Circumscribes
the Director GENERALS Powers
BY Telegraph to the Dlspatch.l

CmcAGO, February 2S.-The local Worlds
Fair directory has framed and adopted
new set Of bylaws which materially affects
the machinery of contract-letting and con-
strucuon. In brief, under the new by
laws the directory, through its standing
committees, takes frmer hold on the
conduct of affairs, and in so doing circum-
scribes the powers Of Director-General
Davis, whose orders are made subject TO
supervision. At the same time the powers
Of Chief-of- Construction Burnham are en-
lsrged. Under the new arrangement Mr..
Burnham ia given the authority to let tho
contracts involving an expenditure of less
than $4,000 upon his own responsibility, a
power formerly vested IN the Director
General. There is a further concentration
of power by provision in the bylaws that
the Executive Committee shall relieve the
Board of Directors from taking any part in
contraCt-lettlng.

PoRr TOWNSEND, Dec. 23.-[Special.l i
The City of Topeka, which arrived tonight
from Alaska, brings news of a horrible ac-
cldent in the Treadwell mine, near
Juneau. on the afternoon of December l.
Thomas Mein was loading drill hole on
the northeast side of the pit for the pur-
pose OF blasting. In the close vicinity of
the hole was portion of a box of power.
lie was tamping the power with wooden
stick. When the hole was partially filled
premature explosion occurred, the con-
cussion OF which caused the powder in the
box to explode, resulting in the instant
death of Thomas Mein and an Indian
helper and the serious. though not fatal
lnJuring of another man by the name of
Neland.
After the explosion the body of young
Mein was found in the pit, distance of
about 100 feet from the scene of the acci-
dent, having been carried by the force of
the explosion directly across the pit and
probably striking against the wall on the
opposite side, while the Indian was blown
about the same distance, but in another
direction, and his body horribly mutilated,
probably having received the greatest
force of the explosion. Commissioner
Hoyt, who also acts as coroner, was noti-
lied of the unfortunate accident, impan-
eied jury, visited the scene and held an
inquest, the verdict rendered being in &C
cordance with the above facts. Thomas
