| But Mr.. Jeter is not that kind of man.

into because, general rule, the Lieulen-

with some other mans wife or murders
his mother-in-law, or does something hor-
rible to force the newspapers to notice
him and the people to remember him.
However, on this occasion, Mr.. Jeter was

| The Senate could not have organized
without him, had he chosen not to take his
seat. That is the opinion of Governor
Budd as expressed this afternoon, but it
has been stated that the opinion is un-
sound. If that were the case the death OF
a Lieutenant-Governor at an hour or

THE SENATE COMMITTEES

to Agree Regarding the Fill

Washington, March 22.-The
Republican and Democratic

reaching common ground in the
matter of filing vacancies in the

for the Democrats. in all the con-

Democrats should be permitted
to name a Democrat for every
Democrat was has been retired,
regardless of the proportion such
appointees would bear to the
whole committee. the Repub-
licans contend that in some cases,
at least, this would work an in
justice, and have refused to
yield.
The one noteworthy exception
is in the Committee on Appro>
priatfens. AS constructed by the
Republicans when they reorgan-
lied this committee it consisted
of seven Republicans and six
Democrats, but two of the men
placed thereon as Republicans.
Senators Teller Of Colorado and
Pettigrew of South Dakota boil

Republicans. Of the six Demo-
cratic members Senators Blacks

Democrats insist upon naming a
Democrat for every n that has

Republicans only five votes on
the most important committee in
the Senate. To This the Republl-

some conclusion is reached that
will give the .'straightout'' Res

this committee there will be no

Cretan Ports Are Blocked.

Canea, March 22.-The situa>

This morning the fact that the

Pillaging still continues. Three
Turkish soldiers who we're caught
in the act of pillage Saturday night

of them.
Some doubt is expressed by the
officials here as to whether Colonel

BISHOP TURNER'S MISTAKE

Commenting on the recent
lynching of two negroes in
Louisiana for the usual crime
which invites such punishment,
Bishop Turner, than whom
there is no more influential ne
gro in the country, is quoted as
saying:
Let every negro in this coun.
try who has a spark of manhood
in him supply his house with one,
two or three guns, or a seven or
sixteen shooter, aud we advise
him to keep them loaded and
prepared for immediate use and
when his dUmicile is invaded by
the bloody lynchers Or any mob,
day or night, Sabbath or week
day, turn loose your missiles Of
death and blow the fendish
wretches into a thousand glblets.
1--WE have had it in our mind
to say this for sever years. but
our Episcopal status made US
hesitate to thus express ourself,
fearing it would meet the disap>
prevail of the house of Bishops,
but their approval or disapprov-
al is doing nothing to stay the
fendish murderers who stalk
abroad and are exterminating my
race. So we have now said it
and hereafter we shall speak it,
preach it. talk and write it.
Again, we say, get guns, Ne
groes, get guns"
Bishop Turner's words are
very rash. He may not know it,
but were his advice followed a
series Of race riots would result,
and instead Of the loss of a few
lives many would surely be sac
rificed and the majority would be
negroes, because they are the
weaker Of the two races and
would necessarily suffer most.
Bishop Turner would have
displayed greater wisdom had he
advised members of his race not
to assault white women. There
would be no more negroes than
whites lynched were it not for
this crime. SO long as negroes
persist in its commission there
will be lynchings. It is. there's
fore, easy to e that the solu-
ton of the lynching problem lies
within the power Of the negro
himself. Bishop Turner has ev-
identity looked upon but one size
of the question.

vacancies will have no effect so
far as the Tariff bill is concerned,
for it is known that Senator
Jones, silver Republican, of Ne>
vada, will work in harmony with
his Republican colleagues in this
question. and will vote to report
the bill upon which they agree.
The Committee on Immigra

each of these committees the
Republicans have the b2st Of it

drift along as they are until the
Democrats r willing to come
