roads. The Associated Press, on Thurs
day night. stated that the next confer

early next week. probably on Monday. a
later dispatch last night states that sfas'
conference. has been arranged TO be held

men agrts that the prospect for har-
u,onious settlement Of the trouble Is
rather remote. especially in view of the
failure of the conference OF March - 10

can roads are evidently firm in their po-
sltion that the Canadian Pacific differen-
tials should be obliterated Very natur-
ally the Canadian Pacific people do not
think SO. The dispatch las. night says
that there has been 10 apparent change

Effort to Defeat Mr.. White.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In reply to the news article in The Stal
of the oath instant, entitled Race War I'm
minent," permit me to say that / am as
tonished at the personal fight which is
waged against Mr.. Geo. H. White. the only
colored member of the lower house of Con-
gress. The best element In the white race
have long since arrived at the conclusion
that the colored contingent is part and
parcel of the body polite, not only of this
country, but Of the whole world. Every re-
publican and democratic administration
since the emancipation has recognized this
fact in making appointments.
The black American, like Banquo's ghost,
will not down al the bidding; nor would the
better and more intelligent white people
have him eliminated from the body polite.
No one doubts that the victorious strug-
gle for independence was prospered by the
presence and participation of Crispus At
tucks at Bunker Hill, for he yielded his life
for the freedom Of his country as willingly
as did the proudest Anglo-Saxon. II he
was brought here as chattel in gross, he
is earning his manhood rights by personal
bravery and faithful service, just as did
the vassal and villein OF feudal times.
Should any one question the usefulness of
the colored soldier in the war of 1872 l
would refer him to the eloquent words of
Gen. Jackson in commemoration of his
brave blacks in the battle of New Orleans.
Every historian OF the war of rebellion.
however prejudiced, has been constrained
for the sake of truth to say somewhere in
his work 1.-The colored troops fought
nobly.'
Even those well-meaning, but misguided
white men in North Carolina, who would
defeat Congressman White by all hazards
will admit that the 9th and 10th Cavalry
and the oath and 25th Infantry regiments
are elements of strength to the United
States army; and that in the battle of San
uago they proved very present help in
time of trouble Under the head of for

1 mold that the present Congress is stronger
py reason OF the fact that Il has a colored
member In the person of Mr. White He
represents the black belt in the tarheel
state. surely no one will deny him that
privilege. For about ten years he was one
OF the state solicitors, and he discharged
tne duties OF his office with credit TO him
ser and honor TO the race with which he ia
iueneiheo L can see no danger of negro
domination in the north state by sendlne
one coiored man to Congress. The distinc-
tlon OF having the only colored man In Com
