MKrNLEY's NEGRO AppolNTEEs,

Mr.. Mckinley and the colored brother
have placed republioanism In a bad way
In tho South. II is almost sure that what
may be the Presidents gain In another
convention is going to be his party's loss
at the polls.
bargaining has chickens that come home
to ioust.
The negro appointees OF Mr., MCKINLEY
In the South are the visible evidences that
the oid debts contracted for him by Mark
Hanna Hut not even those white men in
this sect,cn who believe honestly In repuh-
lioan principles either believe in or are pre-
pared for anything like negro domination in
any Of our departments of local govern
mont or public affairs, and they resent the
selection OF tho African as postmaster. or
revenue collector. or port officer. almost
as much as do the democrats. A trouble,
too, with these negro appointees is that
they are not the best selections from their
race, but are from the Mckinley contingent
only, those manipulated by Hanna in the
state conventions last year and at ST.
Louis.
Mr.. MCKINLEY knows the sentiment Of
tho South and knows the status OF the
negro In the South. and 1t is an outrage
end an insult for him to foist politicians
OF the black race upon the Southern peop,a
as ofhceholders. II. however. no had picked
the best men OF the race always. Il would
be difeSsnt. for there are many nerru men
m all our communities that command the
confidence and respect OF the whites ana
In minor positions under white Federal
chiefs would arouse no autaronism.
The case Of the selection Of Henry pemas
- naval officer Of the port OF New Or
leans is in evidence as an illustration of
tho shameless and insultinE disregard NJ
local feeling and the pgoprietiss and d.
mands OF the occasion in order 70 meet

deccncy to discharge campaign pledges. The

popular approval. but Is strictly in accord

can be shot down for minor offenses and
no punishment DO melted out to the sIay-

Of felony the rule Ia different Tho Or

draws no distinctions. but his hand Is ever
ready TO go for his big gun and the vagrant

lesson Ia taught such ignorant and indie
crimhnate shooters, but often they go with
out punishment or prosecution by reason
OF the ignorance around them, as dense as
theirs.

MASSACRE ON THE CONGO.
Natives Reported to Have Slain IL


Natives Reported to Have Slain the
Members of the Dhanis Expedition.
Brussels, June 24.-The Reforme pub
fishes a dispatch from the Congo State
saying that all of the members of the
Congo expedition under Baron Dhanis,
Europeans and natives, including the
the native troops, who revolted.
This dispatch confirms the reports
previously received here that brother
of Baron Dhanis and a number of the
expedition had been murdered by re-
voting natives, and also shows that
the disaster to the Belgian expedition
in the extreme western part of the Con-
go country was more serious than at
first reported.
Six thousand men were organized in
the Congo Free State last year by Bar
on Dhanis to take part in a secret ex-
peditiCn. Because the British govern
ment allowed a number of it's Houssa
troops to join the expedition it was
generally supposed that the force was
intended to act in conjunction with the
expedition up the Nile, taking the
Mahdists between two fires. 1t was of
ficially denied, however, that this was
the object of the expedition.
Baron Dhanis was reported in Au-
gust last to have arrived at Lado, on
the White Nile, about 220 miles north
of the Victoria Nyanza, and outside the
territory of the Congo Free State. 1t
was then understood that the Dhanis
| expedition would proceed in the direc-
| ton of Khartoum.
1t was reported last December that
| the expedition had met with disaster
and that Dhanis had been killed.
| Later it was authoritatively declared
| that the baron had not been killed but
| had been heard from In September, at
which time he was at Stanley Falls,
| 600 miles from the nearest dervish
| forces.
Baron Dhanis is son of a Belgian
| father and an English mother, and
was born In London in 1862.
| He entered a military school at Brus-
| sells when twenty years old, and in 1884,
| became lieutenant in an infantry
regiment, soon afterward being sent on
| a mission to Zanzibar by the Interna-
| tional association. He displayed con-
| siderable ability, and was at different
| times placed in command of expedi~
| lions by the Belgian government.
| In several instances he administered
| defeats to Aram slave traders and sue
| ceeded in completely overthroWing the
| Arab rule in the Tanganyika district
He returned to Belgium later and was
| made a baron by King Leopold.

AT CHICAGO

Chicago. June 24.-City railway plans
in this city have been decidedly affect
ed by the ruling of the Illinois supreme
court in favor of the General Electric
franchise. This ruling confirms the de-
cision of the lower court in the case
brought by Attorney General Moloney

to prevent the construction of this road
and dismisses the bill.
The General Electric people say they
will within ten days begin work on an
underground trolley system to cost
about S5.5OO0O0. The company, which
is supposed to be backed by ]. P Nor
gan & Co.. has franchises covering fff-
ty-eight miles of streets on the south
side of Chicago. 1t will be d direct
competitor of the City railway
