bill with the result that the government
was forced to consent to lay before
the commission part, at least, OF the
material upon which the bill is based.
The government also suffered a dis
tinct rebuff ON the paragraph max
ing 1t a felony TO introduce socialist or
radical ideas in the army, and the
second and more important section Of
this paragraph, providing severe pun

THE NEGRO QUESTION.

Chicago Inter Ocean: when the
late General Armstrong, father Of
Hampton institute, was asked for
suggestions as to the discussion of
The Status of the American Negro at
the Columbian congress, he remarked:
The negro question is not a question
Of status, but Il question of tendency"
4 recent article on The Vital Stats
ties of the Negro Race by Frederick
l.. Hoffman, shows that the death
rate OF the negroes Is from so to 100
per cent greater than that of the
whites but 1t also shows that the ten
dcucy of the race is toward higher
morality and reduced mortality by
n greater percentage than that given
to the white race, rs measured by rhe
statistics of great cities.
One of the men who are doing n
great work to improve this tendency
of the negro race is Mr.. BROKER t..
Washington, principal of the Tuskc-
gee normal and industrial school ut
TuSkegee. Ala. Mr.. Washington Is a
negro whose success In his work dem

ognizeS the weakness of the negro as
we'll as his strength, and at Tuske-
gee he has for Il dozen years been
teaching the negro youth that they
must become Independent by fitting
themselves for industrial rather than
for professional life Like General
Armstrong, he years ago recognized
the necessity for trade schools where
the boys might learn trades with the
the same thooughneSS that belonged
to the old age of apprenticeship,
which has passed away since the adj
vent of the great mandatory with
its departmental work aud the trades
union with its rules barring young
men from the privilege of learning
trades. Every city in the north now
has its training and trade schools to
teach the boys to use the hand rs
well as the brain, but this has been
carried to greater practical success nj
Hampton and Tuskegee than in any
other schools.
Booker r. Washington began with
the idea that the negroes of THE south
must reach Independence through the

The Matters Of Dispute Between Mex
leo and Guatemala--A New
Phase.

City Of Mexico, Jan. 26.--Thc United
States has undertaken to play the
part of peac em?ker between Mexico
and Guatemala to prevent u war, If
possible. A telegram has been re-
ceived here from Secretary Gresham,
expressing the hcpc that Guatemala
and Mexico would agree between
themselves upon some method of set
Ting the dispute over the boundary,
and If this Is not possible, the United
States trusts the two countries would
agree to submit their differences TO ar
bitratlon Of some friendly nation.
This communication from nation
with which Mexico enjoys such in
innate and friendly relations caused
a profound impression upon the gov
eminent, and undoubtedly accounts, In
part at least, for the decision Of the
minister of foreign affairs to withhold
for five or six days at least the ulti-
matum which he was about to dis
patch In much less time In answer to
the note from the Guatemalan gov
eminent. 1t Is learned that the pres
ident Of the United States has made
sure that the appeal would be re-
ceived In good spirit before sending
1t by first communicating In an off
cial manner with Minister Romero at
Washington.
The caLipet meeting has been post
poned until today, when Guattmala's
answer TO Mexico's final concessions
will be opened Mexlcans seem to be
determined and 1t looks as though
nothing but war would satisfy them.
