To an inquiry Prof. Cook replied that
SO far as he knew Bishop Turner. OF the
A. M. E. Church, was not making any
money out Of his connection with the
Birmingham society. He was simply fond
OF taking and said things about Liberia

tion has been to convince him that colon
ization IS entirely practicable and will when
successful be very greatly beneficial, both
to this country and Liberia.
He thinks the colored people who may go
TO Liberia under proper conditions will
greatly advance their own interests and
that the location there of anything like the
number the country is able to support would
be great relief to the situation politically y
and lndustrially in this country.
Pror. Cook is graduate of Syracuse Uni
versity and taught there for some time
after receiving his degree. His speciality
is botany and while teaching at Syracuse
he received the offer to go TO Liberia as
Fulton Professor of Natural Sciences in the
college at Monrovia.
He considered this a great opportunity to
continuehis researches in his favorite science
in fields hitherto untouched and accented,
AT tile same time he undertook the work as
signed to him by the New York Colonization
society. The facts brought out by his in
quiries and observations have been pub.

five years old, and is full of enthusiasm for

collection when Times reporter called

Coville, chief of the division of botany In
the Department of Agriculture, called to

FORMER COLONIES.
Prof. Cook said no wellplanncd and sys-
tcmatic attempt had ever been made 10
plant colonies of American colored people
In Liberia. There had been several half
hearted and ill-planned expeditions. None
OF them had met with more than partial
success. He was in Liberia when the col.

dreaded African fever. 1t is only a ma
larial fever such as we have along the
rivers in this country, only much more Sc
we're. When relief is obtained it is liz, k,.ly
to recur in two weeks. This is something
like malarial attacks in this country
When relief is not obtained the tempera
ture may rise rapidly and the patient
perish from the violence of the fever.
"a good many deaths occur. Yet l
have never seen case of the fever where
proper remedies rwere promptly admins
tered that the disease failed to yield
The fever is worst near the great sea
swamp that lies back of Monroyia, and in
the interior where the forest has never
been cut down. But in the highlands OF
the interior where the farms have been
well opened, there is Comparatively little
of It,"
SENATOR MORGAN VISIONARY
When asked in regard to Senator Nor
gan's views regarding colonization and
the immunity of negroes from the dangers
of the climate, Prof. Cook said it was such
visionary and impractical plans, like that
of the Senator to establish great steamer
line across the Atlantic, bearing colonies
from America and returning with the pro-
ducts of the African coast, that had pre-
vented successful colonization.
There was very little in the notion that
American negroes would not suffer from
from the diseases of the region. He did
not think the members of the race who
might be picked up in American cities
and induced to go to Liberia would be
any less likely to suffer than would white
men. The native negroes did seem to
stand the climate better. but he did not

captain OF the ship naturally refused 10

The Swiss, it appears, have accidentally

found during some experiments with the

good shots. Further investigation showed
that the bullets Were DETECTED by an elec-

that even artillery fire could be led astray

THE lille TribHRe has now nearly
completed its second month, and
has shown commeudable spirit, both
in it's editorial and business depart
ment. The last few issues have
contained six pages, we'll filed with
reading matter and fair advertising
patronage. With its editorial ut
terances, all may not agree, but in
politics it is always well to hear
both sides. Mr.. Young's nomina-
ton to the vacant senatorship from
Hawaii, for instance, provoked con-
siderable opposition on account OF
his being a nonresident of that ISL
and. This was not at all surpris-
ing nor unreasonable, although his
long and varied experience emin-
emily qualities him for the position.
Still the argument raised by his OPP
ponents was a sound one, as every
voter here would admit, were ii
proposed to fill vacancy in the
Oahu delegation by selecting a
candidate from Hilo. And yet,
as regards qualifications, no one
will deny that Mr.. Young will
bring to the Legislature a more
varied experience and perhaps give
greater satisfaction to the people OF
Hawaii, than any other man that
can be named; and it is to be
hoped that his election will be con-
frmed by the official count.
