l-) We believe, that the Separation
OF the Races, gradual as 1t must be,and
yet ultimate and complete, furnishes
the only solution of this Racial Prob
lem, which, after cOuvulsing the na-
tlon for nearly q hundred years, and
eliminating in one bloody aud wide
wasting conflict, in which the Sover.
pignty of the States was lost, now
threatens another cobfiictSas remorse
less and more endless, in whlcn the
Liberties of rhe citizen may be lost.
(2.) To believe, that this Separation
OF the Races is warranted, and epjoin-
ed, by every dictate of enlightened
statesm; nship. and Of Christian Char
lty, and that the time has come when
1t ought to begin.
81 For We believe, with Franklin,
and jefferson, and Clay, and Lincoln,
and Grant, that there can be found no
MODUs yIvRNDI, by which two hostile
and heterogeneous races of men, can
safely cOexist in one body polite there
being for the weaker race no alterna-
tive, in the end, except slavery or ex-
termination.

5 SATISFACTORY TO HAY

NEW YORK. Nov. 9O.-A special TO
the Herald from Washington says
1t is the expectation Of Secretary
Hay that the treaty for the partition
OF Samoa will be finally disposed Of
this week. Ambassador Choare is un-
derstood TO have mailed the text Of the
agreement reached by Germany and
Great Britain. When this Is received
final arrangements for signing the
treaty will be iade.
Ambassador Won Holleben. the Ger
man representative here, was at tn
state department yesterday but Sec
retary Hay does not desire to act in
the Samoan matter until he has be-
fore him the text Of the agreement be-
tween the London and Berlin govern
ments, and 1t is understood has de-
layed agreeing to sign the treaty for
some days.
There Is no doubt that this goyern-
ment is agreeable to the action taken
by the other powers in relation to sa-
vii and Upolo, so that nothing remains
to be done except to formally sign
the convention.
As soon as the Samoan partition ne
gotiations are at an end, the three
governments will determine the dispo-
sitlon Of the arms handed over TO the
joirt Samoan commission by the Ma
taafa and Malietoa factions and
brought to Mare island by the Badger.
II js understood here that the COM
mission has agreed to pay for the
arms.
The report as to the prospect Of
further trouble in Upolo Is not causing
the authorities any uneaslness. The
American island Of Tutuila is quiet and
according to the latest reports the ma
tives are friendly toward the naval
officers and men of the auxiliary crul-
ser Abarenda, stationed at Pango-Pan-
go. where a coaling station is under
construction.

ENGAGE IN BITTER WAR

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-Disatisfac-

$500 members Of the Knights and

the recent adoption by the supreme
lodge in session in indianapolis Of a
new assessment rate table 10 90 into

ent indications the outcome Of the
trouble win Be a big legal battle b.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular CorrespondentJ
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9Th. 1899

w hO@'l ~'S'' N"''i 1O"''
President Mckinley left Wash
ington this evening for Canton,
where he goes to cast his vote for
the straight Republican ticket, not
because he considers his vote neces-
sary to the success of the ticket,
but because he thinks it is the duty
Of every citizen to cast his vote
when it is possible to do so. AS he
was getting abroad of the train, he
expressed absolute confidence in the
election of Judge Nash. Although
the trip is a flying one, so to speak,
Mrs. Mckinley accompanied him.
They will return to Washington
Wednesday.
1t is the unanimous opinion of
President Mckinley, every men,
Der of the Cabinet, and every men,
Der of the Philippine Commission,
that the first and most imperative
duty of Congress, at the coming
session, will be to adopt a joint
resolution declaring the intention
of the U. S. to permanently retain
the ownership of the Philippines,
and there is little doubt that such
a resolution will be adopted by
both house and Senate. If it could
be put through at the first days
session, it would do much good,
both in the Philippines and at home,
but that. Of course, is too much to
hope for. The House will be the
first to adopt the resolution and
the Senate will eventually follow,
but the antis in the latter body will
take advantage of the Senate rules,
just as they did when the treaty of
peace, the delay in the ratification
of which is responsible for every
drop of blood shed in the Philip
pine insurrection, was before the
Senate, to delay action by talk
about any old thing to prevent a
vote. No stronger argument in
favor of the adoption of such a
resolution could be found than
Aguinaldo's recent statement that
''The American Congress is soon to
meet to decide whether to keep the
Philippines Americans know
that that decision has already been
made-by the people-but residents
of the Philippines do not.
Edward G. Adre, who is Belg-
ium's Consul at Manila, is visiting
Washington. He predicts a speedy
end to the insurrection and says
that ten thousand Filipinos cannot
stand before a regiment Of Ameri-
can soldiers, and that the end
