9Ett0w FEVER SITUATION.

There are no now developments in
the yellow fever situation at the Sol
disrs' Home, Hampton. The authorI-
ties OF the institution are now conf
dent that the disease has practically
run its course and that there will be no
more c.-.es. The quarantine lines at
Hampton and at Newport News are
still maintained, and the two cities are
experiencing the grsateet crusade
against filth ever known in their his
cory. In Newport News inspectors
have been appointed to make daily
hou . o. ,se inspection in oder 10
ke p track Of any suspicious cases OF
sic. ness that may appear. The
Norfolk health authorities ha repre-
sentatives in, the city Monday, and it
10 believed that they are mak.ns adj
vances looking toward lifting the
quarantine now existing between the
two cities. It is probable that the
quarantine regulations, except in the
case of the Soldiers Home and Phoebus
will be lifted some time during the
next ten days. During the week since
the disease appeared in the Home there
have been AZ cases and IL deaths.
The exodus from Newport News as Q
result OF the yellow fever scare has
about stopped. 1t is estimated that
5000 or 1000 persons went away on
account OF the panic. Many OF these
were visitors and unemployed persons
who had no ties binding them to tie
city. The shipyard naturally lost some
of its employees. but as there is no work
on hand now that demands q special
rush the operations OF the big plant
will not be embarrassed at all. The
other industries OF the city are work
ing with full forces. Those merchants
who have lost employees on account OF
the panic are little bitter against 'ths
"runawsys." Business is quiet, but
che exodus does not seem to make any
difference in the size Of the nightly
crowds on the street.

TIE NEGRO PROBLEM.

The colorsd race Of this and neigh
boring states has an opportunity to
benefit itself immensely by the. appli-
cation Of the theories ad sance1 at the
recent negro conference held at Hamp
ton, Va, Institute. The leaders who
attended this conference reached tho
conclusion that the best training q
negro can receive is in the trades, and
advocate the extension of the manual
training system Of education. This is
Booker T. Washington's idea, which
he has 80 successfully applied. and the
argument on which it is based is sound
1t is urged that. by fitting negro
to tax. place by the side Of the white
ma a. as.iled mechanic he ia given
Q aegree o! .ndepsn lence, selt-conf-
dsnss and esrnin capacity not other
wise poss bic. These naturally en-.
nance his yalne as citizen, and by
teaching in 'siry and application,
take his min from thoughts Of the
things that have tended to restrain
his vslxe TO the community. The pres-
emit development OF the white races is
the resalt Of centuries OF just such
training. The negro can reach the
same standard in less time than did
the white man, because he will have
he advantage of the white mans
experience and teaching, Through
this plan the fiaal emancipation OF the
race can be achieved, and the negro
should welcome it glsdly.-Baltimors
