The Key to Gulf of Mexico

Washington, November lin his
annual report to the secretary of the
navy, Chief Endicott Of the bureau of
yards and docks, makes a strong point
of the necessity for ample docking ia
%cilities, not only for small vessels, but
for the battleships upon waters near
Key West. He said this place was du-
ring the war, and may be in the future
an important base of naval operations,
able strategists having pronounced Key
West and Dry TOrtugaS the key to the
Gulf of Mexico. Therefore, it is held
that careful study should be given to
the subject to determine some point at
which the very best docking facilities
shall be provided. Had the war with
Spain continued many months more the
absence of docking facilities in those
waters would have been most seriously
felt and might have affected its for
tunes. The estimates submitted for the
next year provide for only one new
dock which is to be of the largest type
constructed of granite and concrete
and located at the Norfolk navy yard.
The estimates for the various navy
yards for the next fiscal year include:
Norfolk. Va. $1,000, 900, ($1. SOC, 900 being
for a new dOckD: Port Royal, s. c.
S145, 000: Key West, $112, $50.

ANGLO-AMERICAN COMMISSION
Now in Session in Washington Takes
Up Questions of Canadian Fisheries
and Reciprocity

Washington, November 1.-THE An
glo-Amkerican commission in session
here to adjust differences between the
United States and Canada today held
a lengthy session, upon two subjects
which are regarded as of most i'm
fisheries and reciprocity. The fisheries
:, question was practically taken up Tor
the first time, and it was quite def
nitely understood hat the position of
the Canadian government was made
clear as favorable to granting enlarged
rights to American fishermen in Cana
dian waters of the North Atlantic if in
return Canadian fish are admitted free
Of duty to American markets. 1t is ex-
pected that this will open up a wide
range Of discussion and an immediate
adjustment is not looked for. Concern
ing reciprocity, it has now developed
that while some progress is being made
in considering certain articles which
will be the basis of reciprocity, yet the
American commissioners are likely to
insist, as a preliminary to any recip-
rocity, that Canada shall wipe out that
feature of her tariff law which gives
Great Britain a preference of 25 per
cent on all tariff duties. If this impor-
tant concession is made by Canada and
considered by Lord Hereschell. who is
looking after the interests of Great
Britain, hen it is said that a reciprO-
city list probably will be agreed on.
Without the abolition of preferential
rates to Great Britain the opinion is
very positively expressed hat a recip-
rocity agreement cannot be reached.

Georgia a straight democratic delega-
ton was elected. In neither of these
states does the negro exercise any
strong influence in politics. 1t cannot
be charged that his vote is not counted.
But this is no doubt true of some To-
calities, but it may be said generally
that the negro's ballot is respected.
In both states they are identified with
the republican organization. The
least number in the world votes with
democrats. The whites and blacks
work together in the best of harmony
and good feeling all the year round,
out when it comes TO election time
they vote different tickets. They are
| mostly Ted by white men. In Georgia
| the republican party, so per cent. of
which is black, has been controlled
for many years by Alfred E. Buck,
the present ambassador to Japan. Mr..
Buck is a power with the negores of
the south generally and his appoint
ment to his present post came to him
as a reward for his work in lining up
the republican vote of the south for
Mckinley at the st. Louis convention.
Months before the st. Louis convention
and months before the boomers of
| HOhIdS u. Ihctu DCSdA ~ NC dSllNc
Marcus A. Hanna, William Mckinley,
H. H. Kohlsaat and other prominent
republicans gathered at brownsville,
Ga. They sent for Buck and entrusted
him as chief aid in the south to
gather in votes for Mckinley for the
presidential nomination. Buck, by
reason of his hold on the negroes, was
able to and half the vote in the south,
and before the Reed men knew what
was happening. Thus the republican
vote of the south, which represents the
negroes, was powerful in bringing
about the election of Mr.. Mckinley.
In the Southern states where there
is any equality of population between
the two races laws have been acted
which Obviate the evils which the
whites must fear from the negro vote.
North Carolina has no such law.
There is no bitter racial feeling in
the south. Leaders like Booker Wash
ingtOn are doing a work of incalculable
value in bringing the two races to a
basis of better understanding. Wash
lngton realizes the political unfitness
of the negro and he advocates the prep
aration Of the negro for his higher
duties by a solid training of heart and
Of hand. He has preached against
the dangerous idea of the negro be-
coming a teacher first of all. He has
advocated instead manual trainirg
first and more ambitious fights later.

Raleigh, n. c., November 17.-Wil-
hanson, the negro candidate for solic-
itor in the Second district, who was de-
feated by Walter E. Daniel, of Weldon,
claims that if the returns are properly
counted he has defeated his opponent.
Through his attorney j. c. L. Harris
he obtained a rule from Supreme Court
Justice Douglas today to be served on
the clerk of the court of Halifax
ty to show cause why he should not
count the returns made by William
sons adherents at Meals precinct,
Palmyra township, Halifax county.
Two elections were held at that pre-
cinct. At least this is Williamson's
claim. 1t is said Williamson's people
made their own boxes election day and
voted in them.
A similar rule was served on the
clerk Of court of Northampton, as to
the returns from OccOneechee township
in that county.
These rules are returnable before
Judge Norwood at Halifax next We'd

A Battle Betyveed Negroes and Strikers

Pana, Ills, November 17.-Non-un-
ion colored miners and white strikers
clashed in the streets of this city
again today. Several hundred shots
were fired, but the combatants did their
shooting from behind trees and hedges,
consequently no blood was spilled.
The trouble is said to have been
started by an unknown negro firing
upon Wesley Pope, a striker. Pope
says he was walking lee the Spring
side colliery, where the negore are
quartered, when he was fired upon. He
secured a rifle and reinforcements.
Meantime the negroes appeared in
force and the shooting became general.
After several hundred shots had been
exchanged the negroes retreated to
their stockade. No damage was done.
The militia arrived too late to get
into action, but are patrolling the
~Springside district tonight in force.

THE NATIVES DID WELL
BAND OF POLYNESIANS RETURN
FROM EUROPE.
Royalty and Populace Attracted to
Them-Eastcrn World was Glad to
See the Native Life.

In June. 1895, a party of twenty-five
Samoans, twenty-five girls and three
men, controlled and directed by Fred
Madquardt, formerly chief of the Sa-
moan police, left Apia for tour of
Europe. All sorts of fears were then
expressed. Medical authorities held
that Mr. Marquardt would lose the
bulk of his company; those who be-
lieved they understood the dusky ma
tives of the Southern Seas declared
that the chances were that none would
survive the trip.
Last month twenty-siX Samoans
were returned to Apia. Their number
had increased during the trip. one of
the married women having given birth
to a child in st. Petersburg. The en-
tire party of Samoans looked happy
and contented. They were physically
stronger than when they went away,
and have accumulated more personal
baggage than any Indian potentate.
mishaps. and the whole of the compa-
ny had been brought back to Samoa,
safe and sound. When the weather
was suitable the Samoans gave their
exhibitions in Geological Gardens,
and when too severe for that, in thea
ters and music halls.
They first opened in Berlin at the
Passage Panopticum, in September,
giving an exhibition of Samoan dan
ces. the war dance. the love dance and
the national dance. in which the girls
sit down and move only their bodies.
There were Samoan songs, too, and a
variety of other antics, which moved
the Germans to great applause, and
caused Princes of the royal blood to
shake their sides with laughter and
applause like ordinary personages.
The Danish royal family attended
three of the performances, and the
Crown Prince was so interested that
he conversed with one of the men,
through the medium of Mr. Marquardt
and had the mysteries of the tatooing
explained to him.
At Cologne the troupe showed in
connection with the Geological Gard
ems, erecting regular Samoan vii
lage, with its huts, palm trees and its
other surroundings. Here the troupe
gave exhibitions of diving, swimming
canoeing. with a complete picture OF
native life in its other details. adding
songs and dances as occasion demand
ed it.
Quite a number of other towns were
visited. At Dresden the Queen of
SaXony was one of the most interest
ed spectators. and during the German
tour the mother of the present EN-
press of Germany witnessed several OF
the performances.
When Marquardt took the Samoans
from their homes he did so by arran.
cement with the King and with their
parents, he was under agreement 10
have them home again by September
1897. He was also bound to pay them
c 3 los a month, and if they showed
anywhere on Sundays. As extra. The
expenses were over e450 month.
