NO PROTEST FROM GERMANY
She Accepts the Results OF our War
With Spain and Assures Is Of Her
Erteudship

Washington. November 2S.-Baron
Speck Won Sternberg. charge d'aTaires
of Germany, called at the state de-
partruent today and had a conference
with Secretary Hay on current topics,
particularly those growing out OF the
late war, in the course or which Baron
Speck took occasion To express the
most friendly sentiments on the part
Of Germany concerning the present
status of affairs. The call was chiefly
significant as an evidence hat German
officials desire to counteraCt the re-
ports that Germany is about To assume
an attitude. of protest and to lay claim
to the Sulu archipelago, which is to be
included in the peace negotiations at
Paris. Baron Speck's call gave rise TO
sensational reports To the effect that
he presented a protest from Germany
against American interference with
the Sulu islands.
In view of these reports IL was stat
ed tonight in an authoritative quarter
that the Sulu islands were not men
toned during the talk. which was of a
most general and friendly character.
Although the cable reports have shown
that the Germany press is Considera-
bly, wrought up over the policy OF the
United States in the far east and is
gin the government to make a pro-
test, nothing has developed in official
quarters up to the present time to
show that there Is any purpose on the
part OF the German government to
heed such belligerent suggestions. On
the contrary, the call OF Baron Speck
today gives assurance hat Germany
accepts without question the outcome
OF the peace negotiations.

Race Prejudice

From the Chicago Chronicle.)
The republican party plumes itself
as the special champion Of the negro.
It's administration is quite willing to
make negro collectors and postmasters
in the south, but where are the negro
collectors Of customs and postmasters
in the north? They are given no fed
eral positions here; they are not given
any elective Office Of character and re-
sponsibility. Race prejudice, though
not as CONSPICUOUS in the north as In
the south, is quite as deep. Let us as
sumo that to round out their ticket
the republicans. relying mainly upon
the north for their support and con-
demning the lack to give the negro
full recognition in the south, were to
name a negro as their candidate for
vice president. What would be the
chance of northern success for such a
ticket? What would be the chances for
reelection Of a republican president
who would give two or more places in
his cabinet to negroes?
We see the mote in our brothers
eye; why should We not look to the
beam in our own eye?

Savannah, Ga, November 2S.-The
transport Chester, with the Fifteenth
United States infantry bound for Neu-
vitas. Cuba, is aground five miles from
Savannah. 1t is expected, however,
that she will be fioated on tomorrow
mornings tide and will go to sea. The
Chester ran aground to avoid a collis-
ion with the transport Manitoba.
which was coming into port. A gov
eminent dredge was lying across the
channel partly blocking it and leaving
only one side open. 1t was impossible
for the transports to pass each other
at this point and the Manitoba forced
the Chester out of the channel. She
is lying easy without any damage aud
will go TO sea on the next tide.

FAREWELL PARTING,

A merry party returned on We'd

Mrs. O. D. Scott and Miss Grace

Saddened in leaying the picturesque
cottages on the mountain side, as
also the hotel Ben Foreman, which
gave Joy to the epicure, and last
tho not least, the pavilion and
its "tater vine" and the life giving
spring at Baker which youth and
beauty called the "trysting place.
1t was with sadness that we, the
last departing guests bade adien to
this spot of pleasure, and as we
wended our way around the noun

but wish that old "Boreas" would
shorten time and bring us to an
early summer when all Texarkana

whiskey in their skins this morning
and was inclined to be noisy and the
city Marshaps on both sides of the
line called them down, telling them
in plain United States English that
if they did not keep quiet they
would arrest them. The soldiers,
thus spoken to, felt resentful and
made unCompIimentary remarks
about the officer, but they should
remember because they wear a uni
