only in the interests of peace in the
east, out for the sake also of the main
tenance of the Chinese empire.

take greater precautions to prevent
assaults by natives on foreign resi-

HOSPITAL
Board of Managers Visited the Instftu-
ton Yesterday Afternoon

The beard of managers of the city
hospital yesterday visited their charge
and were pleased beyond measure at
the great advancement and the i'm
~provements that have so recently been
made at that institution. The board,
all except Commissioner Roger Moore,
met at the court house at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon, and were driven in car
riages to the hospital. The party con-
sisted of Mayor A. NJ. Waddell, Alder
man w. H. Sprunt and Commissioners
John l.. Boatwright and John Barry,
and they were piloted on their tour
of inspection by DR.. c. P. Werten-
baker, superintendent.

tire building, and the working system,
which is an admirable one, was fully
explained. They got an opportunity to
see the many changes for the better
that have taken place, the improve
ments made in the differnt wards, and
the new dispensary, from which the
patients of the hospital are not only
supplied with necessary medicines, but
the out door poor Of the county as we'll.
This is a great saving in money as
all drugs are purchased at wholesale.
The members Of the board were
greatly pleased at what they had seen,
and what Dr.. W~ertenbaker hopes TO

In Mass Meeting Demand Protection
for Their Race at the South

Buffalo, n. Y, November 23.-The
negroes of Buffalo have held a mass
meeting to protest against the treat
ment of their race in some of the
southern states. After addresses by
Mayor Diehl, eX-Mayor Jewett, Ed
ward c. Crosby, and others, reso-
buttons were adopted appealing to the
national administration ito interfere
in behalf Of the oppressed negroes of
North and South Carolina, to right
the wrongs done to their race, and pun
ish those responsible for the recent
outrages and to enact the legislation
necessary to insure to the negro citi-
zens Of the south the rights to which
they are entitled under the constitution
of the United States"
The appeal will be forwarded to
President Mckinley and to congress at
it's next session.

The Work OF Bank Robbers

st. Louis, November 23.-At Elsber-
ry, Mo, s~iXty-eight miles north of
here on the ST. Louis, Keokuk and
Northwestern railroad, robbers made
a desperate attempt to rob the Lin
coin county bank. 1t is not known
how much if any they obtained. AS
the result of rough treatment receiv-
ed from the robbers, John w. Wattes,
the night Waterman of the town, who
is 80 years of age, may die. He was
found at an early hOur today bound
and gagged, lying in the open air,
where he had been left by the rob-
bers. He was badly frozen. When
President F. F. Harvey arrived at the
bank this morning he found the vault
doors wide open. The safe inside con-
tanning $40, 900, was closed and he was
unable to open it. An expert safe
opener was sent from here at the re-
quest Of the bank, but this evening he
sent back word for help, saying that
he was unable to open the safe doors.
Until this is done the bank officials
will be unable to state whether the
have lost anything or not. The bank
was obliged to close for the day, but
will eopen Friday after the Thanks
giving holiday.

BISHOP TURsKR on NEGRO RACE

Leave ASSERTS Unised States Shouid
Appropriate Money for the Purpose

A special TO The Atlanta Journal OF
the 23rd from Dublin, Ga. says:
The seventeenth session of the Ma
con African Methodist Episcopal con-
ference, sitting here since Wednesday,
adjourned at 4 o'clock this morning.
Bishop II. NJ. Turner. D. D., of At
lanta, presided. assisted by Vicar
Bishop James NJ. Devane, of Queens
town, South Africa
This conference consisted OF go coll
ored ministers.
Before reading out the appointments
Bishop Turner made a sensational ad-
dress. Among other things he said:
4 see no manhood future for the ne
gro in this country, and the man who
is not able to discover that fact from
existing conditions must be void OF
common sense. Our civil, political and
social statue is degrading, and as deg
radiation begets degradation. the negro
must 60 from bad to worse ad infini-
tum. Neither education nor wealth can
ever elevate us to the grade of respec-
liability. l say his because we are
surrounded by so many influences that
initiate against our manhood.
The best thing the negro can do
is to call a great national convention
and ask the United States congress for
a hundred million dollars to meet the
expense of starting d line Of steamers
between this country and Africa, thus
pioneering a domain for our settle
ment. With his start upon the part
of the general government, which ac-
tually owes us $40, 900, 900. 900 for 26i
years Of labor, we could build up a
business that would enable us to trans
port to Africa as many of our rac as
are fit to go. If the United States has
hundreds of millions to throw away in
a useless war, and for other foolish
things, surely it can appropriate a
800, 600. 900 to the most loyal inhabi-
tants it has in it's domain.
1.-The white people themselves had
infinitely better appropriate a 500, 0GO,-
600, If we are the raDing monsters
which the public press charges US with
being, than to be shedding so much
blood, when / know and you all know
that much of that blood is innocent
blood; and innocent blood will speak
to God day and night for retribution
till God OverthroWS the nation, as he
did the Roman empire.
And, as / nave the ear of the cOun-
try, it is very likely l shall call such
a convention within the next three or
six months; for, if the negro does not
say or do something in his own defense
he is not only an inferior race, but he
is not fit to be ranked as a human
being"

ception by those who had already
gathered round the sturdy Virgin

and sent each player to bed with in
structions to get plenty of rest.
The roOters from the Old North State
were on hand, however, and told great
stories of the cOnquests which North
Carolina has already made this season,
and expressed their entire willingness
to back the chrysanthemum-headed
gents from Chapel Hill with their last
dollar, taking chances of having to

BETTING BECOMES LIVELY.
| The reports which nave been sent
out from the University of Virginia
concerning the crippled condition of
the Varsity men made many of those
congregated at the hotel somewhat
| wary of covering North Carolina mon
ely, out those who knew the inside facts
concerning the strength of Virginia's
lads were not so slow to take all offers
emanating from xhe friends of the
blue and white, ana a number of bets
were registered last night.
Arthur Poe, the hero of the great
J P~rinceton-Yale game, who made his
name amous by making the touch
down which gave Princeton the vic
tory over Yale, was the central figure
in the lobby last night. He is here to
act as referee in the game today, and
says he looks for an exciting contest.
He, too. had sized up the two teams,
but, Of course. he would not make any
invidiOus criticism, simply contentinE
himself with saying the elevens APP
peared to be rather evenly matched.

mined upon her line up today, but so

Tobacco In EngIu al.

In regard to the suggestion which ia
sometimes made that n way to relieve
agricultural depression in this country
would be for the government to allow
and even to encourage the growth of to-
bacco, it may be interesting to note how
long the prohibition has lasted and how
sternly it has been enforced. This may
be gathered from the following extract:
"Cornet Wakefield with a party Of
horse marching out of Glocester upon
the last Of July to Winchconie and
Cheltnam to destroy the Tobacco plant
ed in these parts, the Country did rise
against them in a great body, to the
number of 8 or 600. giving them very
revileing and threatning speeches, even
to kill them horse aud man, if that he
and his Soldiers did come N, insomuch
that the tumult being 80 great. he wal
constrained to draw OF and nothing
more done" (Mercurius Politicus. 20
