FIGHTING THE HARDWlCK BILL
ReDrcscntntive Negroes of Atlanta
Sign Memorial Asking Georgia
LEGISLATURE Not TO Pass 1t.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 9.-At a meeting Of
representative negroes in this city today a
memorial was signed asking the Georgia
legislature not TO pass the Hardwick bill, a
measure having an educational and lncal
descendant qualification, the latter known as
the grandfather clause, which they declare
would lay a restriction on suffrage and
cause the disfranchisement of large ma
jority of the negro voters of the state
The bill is now before the lower house OF
the general assembly and vote will prob
ably be taken in a few days. Booker Wash
ngton principal of the negro industrial
school at Tuskegee, Ala, was here today
aiding in the campaign against the bill. Re-
garding it he said:
"There seems to be a growing tendency in
the direction of friendship between the races
in Georgia, but I very much fear that the
passage OF the Hardwick bill will tend to
widen the breach between the races, and
thus hurt the work that some OF the more
conservative colored people have been trying
to do in bringing about proper relations be-
tween the races"

CHINESE INTEREST is INTENSE
Representatives of Every Nation
Interested i'm Question of 'Open
Door" in China Call on Hay.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.--The diplomatic
representative Of every nation directly inter-
ested in the Chinese question called at the
State department today. 1t was noticeable
that the calls of the Russian ambassador,
Count Cassini, and the French charge, NJ.
Thiebaut, on Secretary Hay lasted longer
than usual, and the Chinese minister Mr..
WI, extended his call to include Assistant
Secretary Hill, who has been giving much
attention to the subject of the trade rela-
tions in the Orient.
The interest of the Chinese government in
what is going on between the United States
and the European powers is intense but it is
believed that Secretary Hay has relieved the
main apprehension, which was founded upon
a suspicion that our government. in the
event that the European powers failed to
give formal consent to the maintenance
OF the open door, that 1t seeks. will take
possession of a section of the Chinese coast
before 1t is all taken up by other powers.
So confident are the officials of success
that 1t is intimated that they have not even
gone to the length Of framing a policy to
meet the event Of defeat. No answer has
been returned by France to our inquiry as
to formal assurance of the retention OF
trade privileges. 1t is scarcely expected that
the French stipulation will apply to Tonquin
and the sections of China that have been
under French influence for long time, but
simply to any extension Of French holdings.

ACUlNALDO Is AT BOAMBANG
War Department Has Definitely Located the
Insurgent Headquarters
REBELS WILL PROBABLY SHIFT CAPITAL
Bonmbanp Said TO He Accessible from
the south by Only One Route
Away from Railroad and
Coast Communication.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The War depart
ment definitely located Aguinaldo today as
on his way to the town Of Boambang, about
seventy five miles northwest OF Tarlac The
recent calculations have been that the in
surgent leader was at the town OF Bayam-
bang, not far from Tarlac in which case
the several forces under Generals MacAr-
thur, Lawton, Young and Wheaton would
have had him practically surrounded. There
has been some doubt. however, as to the
name Bayambang, and today this was cleared
UP by definite information fixing Boambang
instead of Bayambans. as the place of Agui-
naldo's refuge. A dispatch from General
Otis mentioned Boambang and at the same
time reliable information came through dip
lomatic channels that Lieutenant Gilmore
and the other American prisoners were at
Boambang, far to the northeast OF Tarlac.
1t Is expected that the insurgcnt capital
will now be shifted to Boambang and the ef
forts of the American military forces will
be directed toward that point. 1t is in the
mountainous country of the north and ap-
parently out Of the fertile and populous
regions where Aguinado thus far has con-
Quoted his operations. 1t is said to be ac-
cessible from the south by only one route,
along river which is branch of the Rio
Grande. This leaves the rebel leader little
or no opportunity of communicating with
the coast or getting in supplies He has
also left the railroad behind.
1t is said at the War department that the
columns of General Young and General
Wheaton will push on to the north. follow
ing UP the insurgent leader and his scat
tered bands.

two attacks are a disgrace to both branches
Of our race.
The people in the Transvaal and the
Orange Free State have n right to rule them
selves. Our war is an attack on an existing

"It is worse for us to attack the Fill
pinos than for England to attack the Beers,
for we fall from a greater height, as we
believed in government by the consent OF
the governed.
The best men in England have spoken
against the war in the Transvaal and every
where it is deplored, except by those whose
interests are served by it. They are a small

Mr.. Carnegie entertained decidedly opti-
mstic views of the business outlook and the
prosperity Of the country. He said: II can

from being a year OF great prosperity, al

out OF the struggle. Now that this country

to Build New Churches.

BOSTON, Nov. s.-The annual meeting Of
the Church Extension society of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church began today in the
First Methodist Episcopal church.
In the absence of Bishop Foss, who is
detained in Philadelphia by Illness, Bishop
Bowman presided at today's session. Aside
from the acceptance by the general COM
mittee of an invitation extended through
Bishop Hurst from President Mckinley to
attend a reception to be held in the White
House on Thursday Of next week, the feature
of the days session was the report of the
board of church extension. 1t was read by
Rev. ]. M. Mcconnell of Philadelphia.
An increase Of more than $1,000 was re-
ported in the conference fund and OF more
than s37, 900 in the general fund. The total
receipts for the year were more than $780,
OO0 A number of unproductive properties
were disposed of and the money invested
In productive properties. 1t was reported
that since its organization the board has
received more than $6500,0O0 and had aided
II $50 churches. A gift of $3.50 to frontier
churches will secure the erection OF build-
ings worth 81, $50 each.
The board of church extension reported
an effort to raise 81 100000 for church ex-
tension as a part of the twentieth century
movement to erect 1900 churches, one for
each wear of the Christian era. OF the
81 900 900 to be raised IL Is expected to spend

CARRY MAIL BY AUTOMOBILES
To Be Tested in Chicago Retween the
PostoMce and Postal stations
in business Center.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The annual re.
port OF Second Postmaster General Shallen-
berger urges the handling of mail by pueu
matte tubes in congested centers of popula
tion. Recommendation is made for $500, ,OOO
for extension Of the pneumatic service, to-
gether with $225O0O FOR the present tube
systems, for the next fiscal year. Eot.'
The department has invited proposals sor
carrying mail by automobiles between the
pcstofiice in Chicago and two postal sta
tions in the business center and also for
the same service in screen wagons one of
these methods to be selected later. II
results favorable to the automobile are
gained from this test, it Is probable says
the report, that automobiles eventually will
supersede screen wagon service in many
larger cities and also take the place OF
electric cars for carrying mails where auto
mobiles are permitted to run as fast as the
cars.
General Shalenberger's estimates for the
next fiscal year aggregate $59, III, 500, OF
which $33,S70,000 is for railroad transporta-
ton. No estimate is made for special fast
mail facilities. The usual regulations arc
renewed for compelling publishers to sep
arate second-class mail matter.

made at the White House.
The return OF Lord Pauncefote Is not ex-
pected to bring any special changes in pend

pressing ones-the Alaskan modus vivendi
and the Samoan question-have been dis
posed of, while the permanent delimination
OF the Alaskan boundary and the reassem-
