pushed her. She was committed

ADDRESS ON THE NEGRO.
Problem in. the south-LynCsings
and the Cazse,

1toOAom III suo SOutn-LyuC2lnS1
and the Cause.
BOSTON, June 13.-At the Metho-
dist Minister'S meeting Wednes-
day, Rev. DR.. E. Hoss, editor Of the
Nashville Christian Advocate, the
official organ OF the Methodist
Episcopal church, South, delivered
an address on 1.-The Negro problem
as a Southerner sees It," He said
in part.
81 suppose that there are many
things upon which We can agree.
For instance, we are all agreed that
the most ubiquitous business that
the world ever saw was the awful
African slave trade that landed SO
many Negroes on our shores.
ave are also agreed that the thing
was done that should not have
been done, and I have yet to find a
single Southerner who does not be-
lieve with me. / do not mean to
say that all the Southerners are
just satisfied by the manner in
which slavery was abolished"
He denied a prevalent belief that
the Negro is increasing so fast that
in a short time the race will pre-
dominate in the Southern States,
and said:
"There never was a greater de.
lusion. The politicians spectre Of
Negro denomination is only a spec
tire after all.
"Inevitably the ultimate ascend
ancy Of the white people in the
South will insure to the benefit Of
the Negro.
"There is n fact in regard to
which 1t Is well to make up our
minds definitely now; that Is the
colored race is absolutely sure to
continue a colored race.
"The colored people in the south
are rapidly accumulating property
they are getting homes.
~ occasionally make speeches to
the colored people in the south and
L just talk on four points.
81 tell them to get religion, to
get married, to get an education
and to get a home.
"And 1 regard the accumulation
Of property as a fact Of supreme i'm
portance.
"The Negrois taxed for $50,000,-
600 Of property.
"The advance in education Is due
largely to help aud influence from
the North.
"Most Of the colored schools have
been established by Northern do
nations.
"There are a great many OF the
colored people Of whom l cannot
say the complimentary things 1
have been trying to say.
ain some communities there is
the densest barbarism. The Negro
has often been the victim of mob
law when it was not merited, but
often-shall 1 say it ? Shall 1 speak
the truth ? (cries Of ayes, Yes.~
Often the outrsges have been such
as to make the blood Of any man
boil within him. And 1t seems to
me that the leaders here In the
north lay a much greater emphasis
on the penalties which are in
hicted than they do on the out

STEAMER ST. LOUIS
SAFELY REACHES SOUTHAMPTON
AFTER A SPLENDID RUN.
She Is Given a Great Welcome And
Every Passenger Is Loud In
Praise Of The Great
American Ship.

SOUTHAMPTON, June l3.-The
st. Louis, the palatial steamer
which has made a successful voy-
age across the ocean was locked at
5 o'clock this morning. The early
hour prevented the intended recep-
ton. Nevertheless quite a large
crowd was on hand to see the first
big American. The passage was q
delightful one. No records were
broken, but 1t was understood be-
fore that no speed trial was to be
made. So there was no disappoint-
ment. The daily runs to the Scilly
were 234, 443, 379, AL, 443, 443 and
416. For a first trip this Is consid-
cred excellent and great things r
expected when the st. Louis has
been scraped and painted, and her
machinery Is in such condition
that she can be fully tested.
The program Of entertainment
included Rotations by John Drew
and Rowland Buckson. Many Ia
dies appeared in full dress. Several
pools were sold daily on the YES
sells speed. Paul Arthur was the
auctioneer, and proved very enter
tanning and successful. He and
John Drew were fortunate enough
to capture a pool each. 1t was re-
marked how few st. Louis citizens
were aboard, eight, certainly not
being a good representation. The
consideration shown them by the
Chicagoans vas as kind rs 1t was
unexpected.
Some OF the incidents Of this i'm.
portant trip, which are reported by
the special reporter OF the Asso-
ciated Press on the st. Louis are:
Hon. Clayton McMichael, editor
Of the Philadelphia North Ameri-
car, who was a passenger on board,
said: "The City of Brotherly Love
has good reason to be proud Of this
grand ship. When she does make
an effort she will prove a record
breaker. Not only is she a credit
to Philadelphia, where she was
built, but to the city after which
she Is named. Every passenger was
delighted with the trip, and was
almost sorry that 1t did not last
longer"
James Campbell, a banker OF st.
Louis, in an interview said: "Our
great city has a right to be proud
of the splendid ship. She will GER
tainly be the future queen Of the
ocean. st. Louis we'll appreciated
this great occasion"
Justin McGrath, as a native born
st. Lousisan, is very proud OF the
ship.
Mr.. Towne, the representative
Of the Cramps, says: 81 am thor
oughly satisfied that the vessel is
in every way as good as we could
wish to build and the trip has
proved that we have carried out
our contract"
T. A. Synder, of Cincinnati says:
81 never had a more pleasant trip
in my life than in this voyage, and
l wish the boat was named after
our city instead OF the Mississippi
metropolis.
DR.. Calhoun Of Wis, says: at
was a grand voyage and l wish the
boat was named Milwaukee,"

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 13.-Daniel
Stewart reached Chicago last even
ing from New York whittier he had
been to arrange for the champion
ship battle between Jim Corbett
and Bob Fitzsimmons, and is now
on his way to Dallas to arrange for
the building Of a mammoth amphi-
theater in which the men will bat
tie the question of fistlc superiority.
The Florida Athletic club has SIM
ply been transferred to Dallas.
Stewart said 81 met the parties in
New York with a plain business
proposition. I produced a copy Of
the Texas statutes showing that
there Is no law in this state against
bringing of a meeting between
Corbett and Fitzsimmons. 1 told
them that the Florida Athletic
club was transferred to Dallas.
Dryer, Vendig and a friend
thought 1t over, and 1 was elected
president and treasurer of the club
and 1t is now transferred to Dali
las"
1 am on my way to Dallas to
construct a house in which the
fight will take place. 1t will be a
mammoth structure, built in octo-
CANAL shape. There will be four en-
frances from the cardinal points of
the building. The seating capaci-
ty will be 10000. There will be
$50 boxes, with ten chairs in each.
The prices for boxes has not been
determined, but the admission
will be $40 with reserved seats 500.
During the week in which the
fight will take place there will be
q fair in Dallas and to this there
| will be excursion rates from all
| over the country. l have secured
a cheay rate from two Eastern
lines, which I believe, has never be-
fore been secured for a similar
event.
Corbett and Fitzsimmon will
meet on Thursday Oct. 80. There
| will be one other contest, probably
between Dixon and Plimmer.
There will be no carnival Of four
fights. The mill between the lit
tie men will take place probably
the second day preceding the
Corbett-F itzsimmons battle.
| [ have seen accounts in the
papers about ali indignation meet
ing at Dallas against the big fight,
a meeting Of IS people, at which by
a majority Of six it was decided to
protest the battle. The opposition,
II true, is not very powerful. Their
protest cannot be effective since no
law Is being violated. 1 have only
to pay the license fee provided for
the entertainment to bring off the
affair and be thereby within the
law of Texas and the ordinances Of
the city Of Dallas. l shall carry
out my part Of the agreement to
the letter and all the men will
have to do is to get into the ring
and fight. With such men and
the feeling there is the battle for
the championship should be the
greatest ever fought"
From what the Texan says there
will be no middle weight or weller
weight mills, about which so much
has been said and written. The
meeting which will settle that
great fight will take place at Dali
las. He does not intend that the
multidudinous light, welter and
middle weights shall get under Of
the big show. There will be but
two, Dixon and Plimmer and Fritz
and Corbett, and Stewart holds
wisely that these are enough and
worth the journey to see.
