NO FRIEND TO ENGLAND
St. James Gaz.tte Comments on Alleged
American Hostility.
Says European Governments, Who
Are Interested, Must Prepare for
Serious Practical Action.

LONDON, September 1.-THE st. James
Gazette this afternoon says: 1T is quite
clear that DO concession we can make and
no display, however sincere of our wish to
be friendly. has awaited one jot to disarm
the bitter hostility of those Americans whc
are always ready for aggressive action.
Neither is there a shred of evidence to
show that the cold, passive dislike which
SO many Americans who are friendly
enough 20 the individual Englishman feei
for the British government has been
warmed in the least degree"
Recalling ex-Secretary Olney's alleged
dictum that all connection between a Euro
pean and an American state is in itself
unnatural. the st. James Gazette adds:
THAT some such doctrine is working in
the American mind Is evidenced by many
signs, OF which the persistent nursing OF
the Boring sea dispute is not the least.
This is in itself fact of which We and
the other governments interested In
America must take note, not as an excuse
for losing our heads and rushing to meet
an evil half way. but as good reason for
clearing our minds and preparing for seri-
Gus practical action"

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, September
27.-Now that the pass from Skaguay land
ing, which from reliable reports was never,
even in it's halcyon days, more than passa-
bic. is closed for the season, information
comes from few who have succeeded in
passing over the trail within the past
eight weeks that the Skaguay trail has
meyer been suitable for travel. From pas
seEgers who returned yesterday on the
steamship Topeka from Skaguay it Is
learned that the majority of the horses
lost on the White pass were lost through
the desire of packers to rush ahead One
man left Skaguay with twenty-five pack
horses. In four days from the date of
starting, and at the end of twenty miles,
only one horse was left alive.
Another packer. George B. Wood, who
carried Banker Andrew Wasson's .'utfit
across, had eleven horses. but took the
trip very slowly and carried plenty of feed
for the horses and arrived at Lake Ben
Eett with full outfit and loss of but one
morse. Woods pack train made an aver
age of three miles per day.
The tug Holyoke, which has been due
from st. Michael's since yesterday. is ex-
pected to bring late news from the klon-
6ike gold fields.

coLoRED co-opERAT1vE COMPANY.
Negroes Put Up 81 Building and Will
Run a Foundry at Chattanooga.

Chattanooga Dispatch to thu Globe-Democrat.
The Southern Hollow Ware and Foundry
Company. organized and operated exclu-
siyely by negroes, is an experiment about

pacity of the negro for mana cement of his
affairs. The company is organized on
the cooperative idea, and each man is to
give TO the business much of his time.
The plant. when completed. will make
stoves especially. but is designed to do all
kinds OF foundry work. The main foundry
building is 100x2j feet. with a number of
outbuildings and annexes. These buildings
have been completed by the stockholders
working at nights and al odd times, so as
not 10 interfere with their work on the out
side. each ore of them having a job with
one or the other foundry establishments in
the city. The buildings were erected from
secondhand material, bought here and
there is jon lots. The cupola is new. and
cost about 500. They have acquired by in
dustry and hard work engines, boilers,
rnolds and all needed lesser tools, and Will
have their shop perfectly completed at the
opening on the list Of October. They expect
to make about fifteen stoves a day, and
they already have promises of orders suffi-
Gent to give them u start. The plant will
give employment TO about fifty colored men
when running full time. In addition to
making stoves. they expect a good business
doing piece work for the other foundries
-
be able to work cheaper than any other
concern IN the city.
The men back of this enterprise are all
hard-working, sober and Industrious, and
deserve ard are receiving the greatest en-
enlargement and consideration from the
whites of this city. The idea of building
and operating the foundry originated with
the president. G.. III. Ferran who is a mn
iatto formerly slave, belonging to an old
and wealthy Alabama family. He was the
plantation blacksmith, a man of colossal
frame and model of manly physique He
Is at present employed as head molder at
the Citico furnace of the Roane Iron Com
pany- He works all day at Citico and
walks home in the evening a distance of
two miles, and works half the night ON the
buildings of his foundry
The company has not borrowed a cent of
money, and il will start entirely clear of
debt. and Ferran says il will never owe a
cent OF money 1T can't pay by check at
any time There are five men Ike Ferran

but Few Games Yet to He Played In
CRoQuet Tournament.

CROQuet TOuFnamen
The croquet tournament which has been
in progress in this city since last Mon
day Is now almost at an end. There are
few games yet to be played however.
and these will excite general interest be-
cause they will, in all probability, settle
the question of prize winners. at least in
the first division. Bird and Strong will
play tomorrow morning, and On the result
of that game will depend first and second
places in the first division. Should Strong
win. he will in all probability secure first
place and the gold medal. as he has now
won nine and lost but one. This will leave
w. H. Wahly, Duryee and Bird to fight
for second place with the chances in favor
Of Wahly. Should Bird win, it will be an
open fight for first place between this
quartet of experts. In the second division,
Williams appears to have tight hold
on first place. while in the third division
the fight is still an open one, with the
chances in favor of H. Wahly or Yeager.
Through an inadvertence Saturday, 1t
was stated that Bird won his game from
Jacobus. when the fact was that the little
Baltimorean was beaten by the veteran.
Jacobus is one of the best croquet experts
in the country, but Of late has not been
showing UP in the best form on account
Of lack of grounds at his home in
mer years, Jacobus was always looked
upon at tournament as a sure winner
OF first or second Place, and 1t is believed
that with the new grounds he has in pros
pect on which to play practice games he
will regain his old-time form.
Games will be played late this afternoon
between Strong and Bean, Hall and Will
liams and Catlin and Coleman and few
others who have not yet completed their
full quota of games. Other games to be
played are: Bean against Bryant. Holden;
Bird against Bryant, Holden: Bryant
against Duryce. Duryee against Sisson; ia
cobus against Sisson, Strong against Hol-
den, Baker against King. McNeal, Wal
ton: King against McNeal. Walton. Yeager;

More interest has been manifested in the
present tournament tnan in any meet of
the croquet experts here in the past, and
the members of the local organization are
sratifed to see this state Of things. The
visitors lsere nave been plea with their
treatment at the hands of the local cracks.
both on the field and in social way, and
each one of them has expressed his deter
mination of returning to Washington next
year to attend the next tournament.
