There were about four hundred of

shortly before eight o'clock they
marched up into the church where
the sermon was preached. 1t was
an unusually practical discourse,
eulogistic of the business effort put
forth by the n. W. f. S, Co. in

Are Opportunities AvaiIed.

"White men will not give color
ed boys a chance tolearn business" "
Two years ago I got a bright boy
a position in a book store. He soon
learned many of the secrets of the
business, making himself generally
useful and was trusted by his en-
ployer, who hoped to see him be-
come not only permanent fixture
in his growing business, but one of
the clerks of the store.
His wages was more than that
which his employer got, where as
a man, not long ago he was work
ing in Lippincott's book store.
The business of the place where
the boy was working has thriyed
and it is to be enlarge din the au-
tumn. The father of the. W
appears on the scene and he
wants him to go to watering place
during the summer. His reason was
that the boy would earn one dollar
week more than he was getting
at present. The employer explain
ed to him that he did not want the
boy to go, that his business was to
be enlarged; that the boy would be
placed over a special department
with increased pay { practically be-
coming a clerk );that to take the
boy away would be to make him
lose the two years training he had
in the store, as he might never find
such another place with the pros
pect of promotion; that it was there
fore not for the boys best interests
(as well as his OWN to take him a.
way. Now, sir, to this fair and
geod advice what was the answers?
+" He must come. You can employ
him again in the fall"
1t was explained to him that this
could not be done that business
could not be carried on III this way,
but to no avail. The boy was TAX
en- away. Just think Of it, eoolly if
you can in this hot weather-I can
not! For the sake Of earning a.
bout ten dollars more than this
would otherwise have earned dur
ing this summer and yet there is no
certainty about it, for seashore ex-
pectaHons are not always realized

THE NEW GUNBOATS.
None of Them to lie Built on the
Great Lakes.


Secretary Herbert has decided that, under
the terms of the agreement between the
United States and Great Britain, In regard
to the building of war vessels en- the great
lakes. he cannot accept the bid of the De-
troit Dry Dock Company for the construc-
ton of two of the gunboats authorized by
the last Congress, withstanding it is the
lowest one submitted for the work. In this
decision the Secretary disregards the pro-
f. ssional argument of Mr. Don Dickinson,
representing the company, and follows the
precedent established by ex-Secretary
Tracy in Il similar case that arose during
the last administration. 1t, therefore, ap
pears that the present administration re-
gard the interua tional agreement as still in
force and effect, and that each Of the con-
tracing parties is prohibited from building
war vessels on the lakes. With the Detroit
Dry Dock Company thus eliminated from
the competition. it is expected that the
contract for two Of the gunboats will go to
the Union iron works of San Francisco
two to the Bath iron works of Bath, Me-,
and one each to Lewis Nixon OF Elizabeth
\. j., and John Dialogue of Camden, n. j.
Naval officers regard this as the most
equitable distribution of the work under
existing cOnIit ions.

THE MADAGASCAR pRoTECroRATE
Believed to Really Amount to Reduce
ing MadnGascnr to II Dependency.

Believed to Really Amount to Reduce
ing Madagascar to IL Dependency.
1t is the general opinion of State Depart
ment officials that the French have succeed
ed in making their own terms with NADIA
gascar and that the protectorate for which
the treaty provides really amounts to max
ing Made gascar dependency of the French
republic. 1t confirms and extends the
claims of the French under the treaty of
1856 and absolutely nulifies the protocol to
that agreement, which the Malagassy claim
ed so modified the treaty as TO give them alb
Solute control over their internal affairs
The French government never recognized
the binding effect of this protocol. notwith-
standing it was negotiated by the French
pier. potentiary.
The United States has remained neutral
on this point, apparently leaving the course
to be pursued largely to the American con-
sui IN Madagascar. Consul Waller accepyed
his eXequatur from the native government
while Mr. Netter applied for his through the
French resident, on which account the queen
refused to recognize him. He is therefore
only acting consul at this time This proto-
cal expressly reserved to the Hova govern
ment the right to control the internal affairs
Of the island without French interference.
The queen of the island acted under the
terms of the protocol in making the Waller
concessions. The department officials are
very guarded in discussing the probable ef-
feet of the annulment of the protocol. 1t is
pc:ntet. out. however, that it is usual for this
government to insist upon recognition of her
own treaties regardless of changes of adj
minis ra ton in other countries. from which
| it may be inferred that the United States
| viii demand that property rights acquired by
| American citizens in MAZDA gascar under the
| former treaty will be protected. 1t is not
| believed under the circumstances that if
| Waller should be restored to the possession
| OF the grant he would find its occupancy
| either pleasant or profitable, and it is suppos-
Cd he would fat
| cept.ng an indemnity from France in lieu
! Of the land itself.

THE QUEEN HALF CRAZY,
Reports In England of Her Queer
AclS.

Special to the New York Times.
LONDON. October 26.--There seems to be
no doubt that Queen Victoria is passing
again through one of those phases of semi
insanity which recall that she is George
HIS granddaughter. These in the seven
ties We're rather frequent: of late years
they have required less often. but for six
weeks now the worst of the series has been
giving everybody about Balmoral much
anxiety and ceaseless trouble. Rumors be
gan to circulate in Lordon week ago that
things were wrong. and modified form OF
them has been printed in Dublin. but no.
where else. although private letters from
Scotland show that it is common knowledge
there. 1t seems to have had its origin in
the death of a young nephew of John
Browns, who had some obscure post about
Balmoral, but for wnom the queen burst
forth in vehement mourning which took
all by surprise. Since then she has been
going to mis- grave and to Browns in all
weathers. and doing other extraordinary
things of a crazy character. which it is i'm
possible any longer to ignore. The matt
has hardly yet become generally known in
England. and perhaps it will pass off again
without public mention. as in former years.
