A PLEA FOR HER RACE.
Miss Ida B. Wells, Agitator Against
Negro Lynching, Speaks.


NEW YORK, July %. = Miss Ids
B. Wells, the advocate of the
rights of the colored people and
the sgitstor against lynching. who
has Just returned from a four
months tour of lecturing on the
subject in England, spoke tonight
at the Bethel African Methodist
Episcopal church. The church
was filed, many white people be-
ing among the listeners. I. Thomas
Fortune, president of the Afro
American League, introduced Miss
Wells, who said she went to Eng
land at the invitation of some of
the prominent thinkers there, after
having been denied the privilege
in Boston, New York and before
the President. She addressed 102
meetings in England, she said, and
as a result an anti-lynching COM
mittee composed of prominent peo-
pie was formed at each of these
meetings. Resolutions were passed
urging the American public TO
abolish the barbarie outrage against
human life. Miss Wells said that
the people of the South are as bitter
against the negroes as they were
before the days of freedom. When
she was in England copies of news
papers containing articles attack
ing her personal character were
spread broadcast there and that
everything was done to influence
the British public against her.
Eve want the colored race to be
placed in the proper light before
the people of this country" Miss
Wells said, "for there is in litera-
ture no true type of the negro as
be is today. The lawless lynch
ings in the South for alleged
crimes against the whites are in
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
simple outrages against our race.
1he press Is IN control OF the
whites, and the attacks upon us
are colored to suit themselves.
The oolored people of this coun-
try should organize themselves
from one end of the country to the
other. They should at least con-
tribute the sinews of war with
which to fight the battle. The
South knows that We are much
disorganized. 1t is our duty to
see that every story published from
the South. in which some negro is
accused of some fiendish act and
lynched for it, is run down by our
own detectives, if necessary, and
the other side of it published.
There are two sides to every lynch
ing

PEARL HARB0R.
Feasibility Of a Coaling Station
Shown BY Report.

The Secretary Of the Navy has
made public the report of Admiral
Walker in regard to the establish
ment Of 8 naval coaling station at
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, showing
indirectly the entire feasibility of
the project says q late Washington
Star. Detailed figures showing the
depths obtained at the different
borings are given, and then sum
married. by Admiral Walker as
follows: They show that nothing
but loose sand is to be met on the
line Of the proposed cut to depth
of at least thirty feet at mean low
water; that the dredged sand
could be safely discharged over the
western reef by a short pipe,
whence it would be carried off BY
the current. Allowing $1,000 for
the cost Of operating the dredge
per month, the average cost Of the
removal of the deposit is 40 cents
per cubic yard. But allowing 80
cents to cover contingencies, the
admiral says that if the proposed
cut in the bar be $50 feet wide,
which is as wide as it can be made
without touching the coral, and
thirty feet deep at mean low water,
it will necessitate the dredging Of
100000 cubic yards, and will cost
100000. If the channel be 200
feet wide the cost would be $4,000.
1t would take thirteen and a half
months to accomplish the first and
ten and tWo-thirds months the lat
ter, although it is recommended
that fifteen and twelve months, re-
be allowed. At one
place inside the bar it will be
necessary to widen the channel at
! cost of 5000.

CORRESPONDENCE.
What Are We Coming To?

Nh. EDITOR: When Rev. DR..
Coyle was here a few weeks ago, he
surprised and shocked some of US
BIZ 3 remark made in public that
he had never seen a city where
there were so many drunken men
op the streets in proportion to the
population as in our beautiful Ho-
nolulu. Passing along Beretania
street toward the plains today, just
after leaving church, we saw a
crowd about a carriage, and police
men lifting the limp, unconscious
form of a young native man into
it. We stopped to inquire into the
matter, and the reply was: "Only
drunken native, who fell from
his horse" We drove on, thinking
sadly of the present contrast with
the time, not many years ago,when
g drunken Hawaiian was never
seen upon our streets.
We had hardly gone a block
further when We passed tro white
men, dead drunk" lying bare
headed in the blazing sun on the
sidewalk near Alapai street And
this on Sunday-when the saloons
are supposed to be closed What
g sight in law abiding, Christian
community. What are we going
to do about il? Are we, as a COM
munity, so in the power of a few
lawless rumsellers that our police
men dare not, or do not care to,
enforce the few mild laws that we
have against the usurpation of the
liquor traffic? Do the police off,
GERS not see that We are going from
bad to worse; that, with the best
Government these islands have
ever had, intempersnce is steadily
on the increase, and the rumseller
is more defiant of law and order
than he ever was? Is it not time
that the indignation which any
righteous man must feel at such
state of affairs should take some
form which would demand from
our authorities an enforcement of
the laws We have, and, as soon as
possible, better laws and more in
keeping with the progress of events
in other civilized lands? Y.

Ching, 800 tons, has ten krupp guns.
The Ching NUen, $50 tons, i pro-
vided with three l2-tOn guns, two +
ton guns, seventeen rapid-irinE guns
and SIX machine guns.
st must be understood that the
ships Of the chinese navy are Of the
most improved modern pattern.
Nearly al Of them were built in Ger
many. Most Of them carry torpedOes.
Besides the thirty armored and IN
armOrec vessels referred 10, there l.
one small armOred craft. the Tien
Sing, o. 20 tons. There are also
eleven gu1b0ats of So to 40 tons dis
placement, named with the letters OF
the Greek alphabet: thirteen gun
boats OF 100 l. $50 tons, and six float
ing batteries fOy river service each
carrying three Elton Armstrong guns
in q wooden fixed turret. The navy
of China i divided into provincial
fleets, designated Sguadrous Of Canton,
Foo Chow, Shanghai, Pei HO. and the
North Coast.
The japanese navy now consists OF
six armored vessels, three protected
coast defenders, five protected steel
cruisers, twelve other steel vessels
and thirteen wooden or composite
vessels. q total Of thirty-nine ships,
in addition 10 which there are twenty
nine torpedo boats, several transports,
dispatch boats, etc.
The armored vessels are not large,
but one Of them, the armOred cruiser
TschiyOds, j. Of 3450 tons, built OF
steel, with twin screws and s speed OF
nineteen knots. Her armament con-
sists Of ten 4.7-inch and fourteen Is
inch rapid-fire guns and three ma
chine guns. She has a finch belt
of srmor and a one-inch protective
deck.
The other srmored vessels are as fol
lows:

torpedo tubes. Her speed is sixteen
| knots.
Two more notable vessels are the
/ twin cruisers Naniwa-kan and Taxa
/ chiho-ksn, both alike in every essen
/ tial particulars. These vessels were
I built in 1855, and attracted much at
I tentiou at the time, being consider
! ably in advance of the period. The
| Naniwa- Kan, indeed, was the proto-
/ type after which the United States
/ steamer Charleston was designed. \
I description of the Naniwa- Kan will
answer for both vessels. She is 8
steel twin screw, protected cruiser of
$3.50 tons displacement and Isl
knots speed, which eight years
ago was phenomenal and is even
now extreme. Her protective deck
is two and three inches thick on
crown and slopes, respectively. Her
armament comprises two 10 inch and
six 5.e-inch breech-loading rifles, two
small rapid-fire guns and ten machine
guns. She also carries four torpedo
tubes.
In her coast defense vessels Japan
departs from conventional types and
adopts s high-freeboard type, the chief
feature Of which is the fact that her
hull is protected but unarmored,
while her battery is heavily armored.
She has three such vessels, all alike,
OF which the Itsukusima may be TAX
en- As a sample. She is an unusual
looking affair, OF 42T7 tons displace-
ment, speed of Is knots and 8 good
coal supply. Her hull protection con-
sists of s two-ineh steel protective
deck and 8 belt of water-excluding
material. She carries one heavy ~
inch breech-losding rifle, mounted
forward in 8 barbette protected by
twelve inches of steel armor. There
are also twelve 4.9-inch rifles, sixteen
smaller rspid-tire guns and four tor
pedO tubes. The great beauty OF coast
defenders Of this type lies in their
ability TO go TO sea with impunity,
and 10 fight their guns in a seaway,
qualities not possessed by the monitor
type.
There are four new steel gunboats
OF els tons displacement eaeh-the
Akagi, the AtSgo, the Maya and the
TIOkai-sll built recently. There are
handy little boats, each carrying one
9 / inch and one IL inch Krupp
breech- loaGers. Somewhat larger is
the TiSima-the second of the same
name-a gunboat Of 75S tons.
Two excellent new vessels are the
steel cruisers Chivots and Shiodo, of
about 200 tons each-somewha
larger than the United States steam

Chinese navy has five armored steel
battle ships, which are among the fin

the Chen-Yuen and.the Ting-Yuen-
each have 745O tons displacement.
Each Of these sister vessels carries
four great Krupp guns and numerous
machine guns, These ships are nearly
IS large As the New York, which has
a displacement OF $50 tons.
"In addition TO these formidable
battle ships China has twenty-five

That, Of all known agents to accomplish
this purpose, Dr.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are
unequaled, is proven by the fact that once
used, they are al,rays IN faror. Their SIC
| ondary effect is to keep the bowels open and
regular not to further constipate, as is the
case with other pills. Hence, their great
popularity with sufferers from habitual con-
stipation, piles, and indigestion. i
The Pleasant Pelletsn are far more effec-
tive in arousing the liver to action than 'blue
pills." calomel, or other nercurial prepara-
lions, and have the further merit Of being
purely vegetable and perfectly harmless in
any condition of the system no particular
care is required while using them.
Composed of the choicest concentrated
vegetable extracts, their cost is much more
than is that of other pills found in the mar
ket, yet from forty to forty-four ''Pellets"
are put up in each sealed glass vial, as sold
through druggists, and can be had at the price
of the more ordinary and cheaper made pills.
