Action which VIII Follow the signing
of the Pence Treaty.

The news of the ratification of the treaty
OF peace with Spain by the signature Of the
queen regent was received with much
gratification Friday at the state depart

to President Mckinley at Thomaston, Ga.
several important problems will arise as
soon as notifications have been exchanged.
The act of making peace will not be com
plete until the formal exchange of ratifi.
cations. The United States will not be
able until then to treat the Philippines as
an American possession and the President
will not feel compelled to disband the vol

Service hotel register has been found, and
unit shows that there were 2l2 persons regis
p tered at the Windsor on Friday Proprie-
tor Warren F. Leland says that the EN-
ployes of the hotel numbered more than
200.
Owing to the large amount of jewelry
and other valuables in the hotel at the time
of the fire Commissioner Brady has taken
measures to prevent thefts by the work
men, All workmen will be searched when
they stop work For this purpose little
wooden Office is being built in front of the
hotels main entrance, and every man will
be obliged to pass through it and submit to
a search before leaving. The individual
losses of patrons of the hotel cannot be
told. Already jewels valued at half a mil
lion have been reported missing.
,, Mr.. Leland, who was Frustrated Friday
= as a result of his great loss, was reported
much better Saturday, but was still in a
feeble condition. He does not believe the
fire was started by patron throwing a
lighted match under a lace curtain on the
parlor floor "From all that have heard ~
! he said, "the fire started in the roof. The
Windsor had double roof. Persons who
were watching the parade say that they saw
the fire creeping under the roof. The flames
. ate their way quickly down the northeast

The cause is mystery"

I other hotel on the site of the burned hotel.

THE FIRST DRY SUNDAY.
Liquor Was Not to BE Had in Wash
inEtOn Yesterday.

For the first time since the act of Con-
gress prohibiting the sale of liquors In the
city on Sunday the law was strictly OBJ
served yesterday by the hotels, and il is
doubtful if any intoxicants were dispensed
at all. with the exception of a few ISOLATED
'speakeases," where a small business was
done. In these few instances of violation
the police showed no leniency, and the
offenders were arrested and locked up. The
hotel buffets were closed very tight and
guests, as well as residents of the city
were treated to real dry Sunday.
The strict observance of the law was due
to an order promulgated early yesterday
morning that the law was to be rigidly
enforced. The police visited the different
hotels and informed the proprietors that
under no circumstances were they TO per-
nit the sale of intoxicating liquors, and,
Furthermore that their bullets were to be
closed and not opened until this morning.
The hotel keepers were given to under
stand that it was proposed to make test
case to determine the legality of the new
law, and that anyone guilty of violation
would be arraigned in court for that pur-
pose.
The order had a salutary effect. Many of
the hotels have observed the law since
its enactment. and those who have paid
little or no attention to 1t heretofore fell
into line yesterday when the police made
their declaration. AS a result drinks Wee
at a premium and as a well known man
about town expressed il. you could not
get dram for love nor money" This
gentleman, in speaking of the enforce
ment of the law, said:
II had no idea they were going TO carry
the matter this far. | know the law pro-
hibits the sale of intoxicants on Sunday,
but II was not intended to read that way.
II was aimed at certain class OF people
who persstently desecrated Sunday by
their open inebriations. People who pur-
chased beer in kegs and whisky in bottles
and were not satisfied to drink II at
home or in private places, but who paraded
it through the streets and over commons in
full view OF churchgoers. The law was not
meant to govern hotels. where a guest
who is accustomed to drinking beer or
wine with his meals is now deprived of
his personal right and liberty.
Because of an inadvertency or haste
the law as il reads makes all persons alike
amenable to IL. The law has certainly
been observed throughout the hotels of the
city. | tried every hotel today and failed
TO obtain drink at any of them although
| am well known in many places The an
swer was always the same. | have been
in and out of Washington for a number OF
years and never saw or experienced such
a Sunday.
''On previous Sundays since the passage
of the law hotel keepers in many instances
seemed inclined to disregard it. Now.
however. they are evidently of the opinion
that the law is going to stand, and the fact
that the police have given them warning
would naturally give the impression that
the law will either be carried out to the
letter or modified in its application only
after legal decision on test case"

NEGRO IN POLITICS
Booker I. Washington's Ad-
vice to Men of His Race.
May Better Their Condition by Act

Black Man should Cease to Oppose
the Dominant Political Party
of the South.

Tuskegee, Ala. April 9.-Prof. Booker T.
Washington. answering the request OF a
prominent colored man in North Carolina
present conflict between the races, advises
him to make an alliance with the triumph
ant Democracy. The letter says:
Il have been asking myself lately some
rather serious questions. and / want to put
one or two of them TO you. Is there any
reason why the negro in the South should
continue 30 oppose the Southern white man
in his politics? Is not this the source OF
nearly ali our troubles2 Unconsciously we
seem to have gotten the idea into our
blood and bones that We are only acting
In manly way when we oppose Southern
white men with our votes.
i believe that Governor Johnston. of
Alabama, is just as good a friend OF the
black man as William YoungbIood, of Ala
bama. William Youngblood has about four
hundred white followers. Joseph F. Johns
ton has 100000 white followers in Alabama
why should We longer follow Mr.
Younghlood with his 400 white followers.
rather than Gov. Joseph F. Johnston
with his 100000 followers, when no prin-
cfple is at stake2 Why is il that the negro
In Cuba has surpassed US in settling his
race problem? Is it not because the negro
In Cuba has made the white mans inter
est there his own?
For example suppose during the agita-
uon Of the freedom of Cuba the negro
had continued to espouse the cause of
Spain instead of the cause of the white
man in Cuba. would not the white Cubans
have grown furious against the black man
in Cuba?
In some way, by some method, we must
bring the race TO the point where IL will
cease TO feel that the only way for II 10
succeed is 10 oppose everything suggested
or put forth by the Southern white men.
This j consider one of our real problems.
i confess that personally / have not
brought myself wholly 10 the point that |
should like 70 see the whole race get to.
but ] merely ask these questions TO nut
you TO thinking along these lines, IL you
have not already begun to do So
Il believe that there are thousands of
white Democrats in North Carolina who
are 30 per cent better friends to the negro
Than Governor Russell. and see no neces-
sity in continuing to follow Governor Rus
sell, who has no power to protect, or. il
he has the power, does not exercise IL
rather than these other white men. who
