number of petitions signed by many citi-
zens of distinction, requesting him to
tender the mediation of the United
States TO settle the differences between
the Government of Great Britain and
that of the Transvaal. He has received
some of them desiring him to make com
mon cause with Great Britain to redress
the wrongs alleged to have been suffer-
ed by the outlanders, and especially by
American citizens in the Transvaal and
others wishing him to assist the Beers
against alleged aggression.
ut is understood that the President
does not think it eXpedient to take ac-
ton in any of these directions. AS to
taking sides with either party to the
dispute, it is not to be thought of. As
to mediation, the President has received
no intimation from either of the coun-
tries interested that the mediation Of
the, United States would be accepted,
and i'm the absence of such intimation
from both parties, there is nothing in the
rules of international usage to justify
an offer of mediation in the present cir
cumstances. 1t is known that the Presi-
dent sincerely hopes and desires that
hostilities may be avoided, but il un-
fortunately they should come to pass,
the efforts of this Government will be
directed-as they are at present-to
seeing that neither our national interests
nor those of our citizens shall suffer
unnecessary injury"

At this point hundreds of voices in

remarks with shouts of 'Schley, SchIey,

The Secretary paused moment and
then said:

for all. If | were to attempt TO enum-

DRIVEN TO MURDER.

Maryville, No., Oct. PC. G.. Jesse,
ON trial for the murder last April of
Frank Griffin, editor of "Griffn's Daily
Review" admits that he paid blackmail
to Griffin ever since coming to Maryville,
for the privilege of selling liquor contra

destroyed and he became almost poverty
stricken, Jesse said that Griffin con-
tinued TO demand money and ON the
morning of the killing threatened to pub
lish a statement defamatory of his

fifty dollars. His wife's distress, his
financial embarrassment and Griffin $
attacks and threats half crazed him, and

CHEERED BY THE WHITES
GOVERNOR MACCORKLE AP-
PLAUDED BY BOTH RACES.
HARMONIOUS VIEWS PREVENT A CLASH
Prof. c. W. Dabney Refers 10 the TransvaaI
Situation in his Address and D. cIares
Great Crime is About to
be Perpetrated.

Huntsville, Ala October 12.-The two
foremost negroes of the country and a
representative white man of the South
talked plainly and fearlessly on the race
problem today to the delegates attend
ing the Southern Industrial Convention.
Anticipating the discussion of this sub
ect, the Huntsville Opera House was
crowded when the morning session be-
gan by delegates, their friends and rep
resentative citizens from the northern
part of the State.
1he cause Of the negro was upheld but
on different lines by Prof. Booker T.
Washington, President of the Tuskee-
gee Normal School and William II.
Council, principal of the Agricultural
ard Mechanical College at Normal,
Ala.
The views of these two men are we'll
known. Prof. Washington believes the
ignorant negro should not be allowed to
vote, but fayors the placing of the same
restriction upon the illiterate white
man. Prof. Councill wants the negro
eliminated from politics. The speeches
of these two negroes were remarkable,
and the cheering from their white hear
ers was as brisk as that sent out by
men of the speakers color, who packed
the galleries. Governor MacCorkIe was
literally applauded by both whites and
blacks. His recommendation that a
strict educational qualification be inn
posed upon all negro voters was receiv-
er with favor by both whites and ne
groes. The concordance of views pre-
sented by the speakers prevented any
controversy and the quick Adjournment
of the convention atN the conclusion OF
the speeches shut off discussion, if any
We're intended.
The only departure from the subject
discussed by Profs. Washington ana
Council was an auuress ON "Agricul-
ture, by Prof. c. w. Dabney of Knox
vile, Tenn, President of the Univer-
sity of Tennessee.
As he concluded, Prof Dabney said:
I'VE Gear today that the peaceful
farmers of the Transyaal are on the
verge of being forced from their do
mains Whittier are they going? They
are hemmed in on all sides by foreign
powers. | believe a great crime is about
to be perpetrated. But it is the result
of the march of progress. 1t is inevita-
Bile. 1t is the law of nature and the
law of nature is the law Of God"

SHE'S A HUNDRED AND FIFTY.
And She's So Proud of it She Celebrates
Elaborately.

Alexandria, Va, Oct. 12-This city
today celebrated in an elaborate manner
the sesqui-centennial of its founding.
Business houses and private residences

cises began with the firing of a national
salute by the United States war vessels
Machias and Dolphin, at noon, accom-
panied by shrieking of whistles, the
ringing of innumerable bells and the
cheers of the people. The II o'clock
demonstration was followed an hour
later by concert at the city hall, a
programme being rendered by the Stone
wall Jackson Brigade Band, of Staun-
ton, Va. Then followed the principal
event of the day, the parade, composed
of military and civil organizations. At
night there were fireworks and the
searchlights of the warships played on
the scene. An illuminated Procession,
made up in great part of masqueraders,
was one of the diverting features.

Montpelier, VT, Oct. 12.-Vermont eX-

very elaborate, exceeding in extent the

ceiving and welcoming old friends and
neighbors. About noon he attended
family gathering at the residence of his
brother, and at l O'Clock returned to his

from the State. Soon after he accom-
panied the committee to the executive

sented ito Governor Smith and Mayor
Senter. In the afternoon there was a
parade and the Admiral was kept busy
returning greetings. He was welcomed
to the State, and to the city and pre-
sented by the Governor with the beauti-
full and costly medal which the State had
voted him.

display of fireworks on the ground be-
hind the Dewey cottage and bon fire.

TAX ON CORPORATIONS
TIE NEW YORK LEGISLATURE IN EXTRA
ORDINARY SESSION.
Governor Roosevelt Declares Light Tsxaion Of
Corporations an Injustice. Should Pay
for the Privileges They Enjoy.

Albany, n. Y, May 22.-Ihe State
Legislature met in extraordinary ses-
sion this evening, In the course OF
a long message in which he discussed,
the general problem of taxation in the
State, Governor Roosevelt says:
There is evident injustice IN the
light taxation of corporations. |
have not the slightest sympathy with
the ,outcry against corporations as
such, or against prosperous men Of
business. TO drive out of q COM
munity the men of means and the men
who take the lead in business enter
prises would probably entail, as one
of its first results, the starvation of Il
considerable portion of the remainder
of the population.
But while | freely admit all this,
it yet remains true that a corpora
ton which derives its power from the
State should pay to the State tax
per centage of its earnings as return
for the privileges it enjoys. This
should be especially true for the fran
chises bestowed upon gas companies.
