President Steyn's Proclamation to til.
Bnrshers.

President Steyn's Proclamation to the
Bnrghers.
Cape Town, Oct. 12-President Steyn
Of the Orange Free State has issued a
proclamation to the Free State burgh-
ers, in which he says:
Our sister republic is about to be
attacked by an unscrupuious enemy
who has long looked for a pretext to
annihilate the Afrikanders Our people
are bound to the Tranevaal by ties as
well as by formal treaty"
President Steyn declares solemnly, in
the presence of the Almighty, that he
is compelled to resist the powerful
enemy owing to injustice done his ki+n
and kin. Solemn obligations he de-
clares have not protected the Transvaal
against the annexation conspiracy and
when its independence ceases the Free
States existence as an independent
state is meaningless.
"The experience of the past" the
president says, shows that no reliance
can be placed upon the solemn promises
and obligations of Great Britain when
an administration is at the helm tina. is
prepared to stamp the treaties under
foot
Then follows historical sketch of
the alleged wrong.
The original conventions" the proc
lamation continues, 'have been twisted
and turned by Great Britain as means
of exercising tyranny in the Transvaal
for which no return in Justice has been
done in the past. No gratitude has been
shown for the indulgence granted Brit
ish residents who, according to law,
have forfeited their lives and property
Compliance with the British demand
would be equivalent to the loss of In.
dependence which has been gained by
the blood and tears of many years The
British troops are concentrating on the
borders of the Transvaal in order to
compel, by terrorizing. compliance with
the claims and crafty plans Of those
whose motive is love of gold.
Realizing which, while acknowledg-
ing the honor of thousands of English
men who abhor deeds of robbery and
violence, the Free State exeerates
wrongful deeds of British statesmen"
The proclamation expresses the con-
fidence of the president that the AL
mighty will help and aid the Beers and
councils the burghers to do nothing un-
worthy of Christians. 1t concludes:
"Burghers of the Free State, stand up
as one man against the oppressor and
| violator Of right

Montana hospitality when they greeted

PROBLEM OF THE
SOUTHERN NEGRO
1t Is Working Itself Out-The Greatest
Danger Is Over-A Vast Improve
ment Is Shown.

Huntsville, Ala. Oct. 12.-The race
question was the topic of discussion to-
day by delegates to the southern in
dustrial convention. The fact that two
of the most prominent negroes in the
South and Ex-Governor McCorkle of
West Virginia would speak upon the
subject attacted q large attendance.
Booker T. Washington, principal of the
Industrial college at Tuskogee. Ala.
was given an enthusiastic reception.
In his speech he said:
Almost the whole problem of the
negro in the South rests itself upon
the question as to whether the negro
makes himself Of Indispensable service
to his neighbor and to the community
SO that no one can fill his place better
in the body polite. There is no other
safe course for the negro to pursue.
While the negro is grateful for the OPP
portunities which he enjoyes in the
business Of the South, you should re-
member that you are in debt to the
black for furnishing labor that Is al
most a stranger to strikes, to lock-outs
and labor wars.
But if the South is to go forward
and not stand still, If she is to reap the
highest reward from her wonderful re-
sources and keep abreast of the prog
ress of the world she must reach that
point without needless delay where she
must arrive at that period where the
great fundamental questions of good
roads, education of farmers, agricultu-
raj and mineral development, manu-
featuring and industrial and public
school education will be in a larger
degree the absorbing topic in our polit-
ical campaigns. But that we may get
the question from among us, the white
man has duty to perform, the black
man has a duty. Capital and lawess-
neas will not dwell together. The white
man who learns to disregard law when
a negro is concerned will soon disre-
gard it when a white man is con-
| cerned.".
Ex-Governor McCorkle. in his address
| on THE Race Question" said the prob

TERMS AGREED UPON.
A Temporary Settlement of the boundary
Dispute.


London, Oct 12-Sir Louis Henry Da-
vies, Canadian minister of marine and
fisheries, informs the associated press
that he has given Canada's consent to
a temporary arrangement of the Alas
KIN dispute This has practically settled
the whole matter for the time being,
as the main feature of the arrange
ments were originally suggested by the
United States.
Col. John Hay. the American secre-
tary OF state, will sign the last papers
within few days and Reginald Tower.
British charge d'affaires in Washing
ton, will ratify on behalf Of Great Brit
ain. Sir Louis Davies said this even
ing;
"The terms agreed upon are simply

Eliminated by the river and mountain
tops. 1t has absolutely no significance
except that we hope thereby to avert
local friction. OF course, an arrival at

factory. So far as the original conten-
ton is concerned, we are just as misty
as ever. l see no signs of reaching an
immediate settlement
Canada relinQuishes no claim by her
assent to this temporary arrangeme lent
and she has not the slightest intention
of allowing her original contention to
lapse to obscurity.
ut is not our purpose to permit this
new understanding to extend 4 day
longer than is necessary. The fact that
l am returning to Canada must not be
taken to indicate that settlement will
be reached by the date of my leaving
England. My return is necessitated by
matters altogether outside the Alaskan
affair.
II am. however, working in contunc-
ton with the colonial office upon the
case. It will not come before the joint
high commission unless a diplomatic
settlement is attained"

cheers broke loose as he finished his little
talk, in the course of which he said:

demonstration of patriotism ] have seen
on every hand as l have journeyed
throughout the East and the West into
your state. / never look into the faces
of a great American audience that l do
not feel that the free institutions of the
United States are safe, and forever safe,
in their hands.
1.-The patriotism OF the American peo-
pie takes the place of large standing ar
mics. We don't need them in the United
States. We can have an army on any no.
tice if the nation is in peril or the flag Is
menaced. Eager is every American citi-
zen to answer the call to arms, and just
as eager to get back to the paths of
peace when emergencies have passed"
