the administration WAS challenged for
unfairness and in which cowardly lips
we're charged with opposing the coun-
ell because it would disturb the
peace of the republican party"
This resolution Yves offered by Dele
gate Mahoney.
Rev. r. c. hanson of Chicago came
forward with plant concerning
the conduct of things in connection
with the welfare of the colored man.
The following resolution, introduced in
open session and referred to committee,
is the work of the Chicagoan;
SIN view of our deplorable con dition
in the Industrial world aud of the fail
ure of the president to appoint re-
preventative of our race on the labor
com m ission, and in view of the altitude
of the trade unions and almost every
from of organized labor toward color
ed laborers in the United States.
"Resolved, That the following com
mittees be appointed by the National
Afro-American council, towit:
81. A committee to confer with the
leaders of organized labor in the Unit
ed States to impress upon them the
mutual benefits that would accrue to
laborers regardless of race, could beir
bring about spirit of fraternity aud
cooperation among American work
men of every grade, regardless OF race
or section:
SO A committee to meet with the
National labor bureau to lay before it
the condition of negro laborers in the
United States to keep them informed
in regard to the same and to have them
appoint, if possible, subcommittee to
cooperate with the National bureau. ="
In discussing the conditions which
prompted the Introduction of his reso-
luton, Rev. Mr.. Ramson said:
"We have two particular grievances
against President Mckinley personally
We do not mean to become allied with
either party, but what we want is equi-
table consideration. If one party can't
give it to US, perhaps the other can.
We petitioned the president to appoint
one of our race on the national labor
bureau at the time of it's organization.
We brought all the pressure at our
command to bear, but all to no avail.
We were unnoticedin the appointment,
although we made it plain to Mr.. Nc
Kinley that we would rather have
la Dor commissionership than all the
political offices he could give US, and
despite the fact that we put forth as
candidates such men as Booker t.
Washington, Bishop Grant and Bishop
Arnett.
"Agsin we were totally ignored in
the army appointments. During the
war with Spain the president conferred
second lieutensncies upon ten colored
men. At its close he retired them to
the ranks.
'Then when the time came for the
appointment of scores of additional
officers for service ir the Philippines.
what did he do? Not one of those
colored men, men tried and true, who
had done more than numbers of others
who received appointments over their
head, during their service in Cuba, re-
ceived commission. The colOred men
after gaining eligibility to the nations
list of heroes. was not even recognized
by the title"

Poor Porto Rico! She has scarcely
emerged from the disasters of the
recent hurricane, with its attendan
sorrow and want, when she is
made to suffer the scourge
of an epidemic of typhoid
fever, in consequence of the putre-
faction of bodies left unburied. Cap
tains of steamers say that the odors OF
the various ports cause them more suf-
feripg than did the hurricane. What
an opportunity presents itself to this
country, at the time of it's enormous
harvests, to relieve the want and dis
tress of our now country men, and
thus tie them to US by closer ties OF
love and sympathy in distress.

The dissatisfaction with the repub-
lican policy toward the colored man
again cropped out at the afternoon ses-
sion in the form of a resolution, which
claiming that the legislation hith
adopted by that party having been
proved by the United States supreme
court to be failure, continues:
''Resolved, that it is the sense OF the
National Afro-Americsn council, in
convention assembled in the city of
Chicago, that the republican party he
recommended to follow what is be-
lieved to be the principles of that
party, which has stood for equity
justice, liberty and human rights.
Unless that is done we apprehend tn at
united support of the republican party
by the voters of our race can not be re-
lied upon in the future as in the
past.

LOOKING TO THE FAR EAST.
The Asistis Squadron Is by Far the Lar
gest of the United States Navy,
and VIII Continue to BE.

Washington, Nov. 17.-tsThe Asiatic
squadron is now by far the largest
squadron of the American navy. I
doubt if we will ever again see the
time when the American naval force
on the Atlantic will equal that which
will be maintained upon the Pacific. -
This was said by high authority in
the navy department. He adduced rea-
sons for his belief, the force of which
can scarcely fail to be appreciated.
Since the war with Spain the interests
of the United States in the Pacific
have become greater than its interests
in the Atlantic. There is every reason
to believe that they will remain para
mount. The eyes of the world are now
upon the far east It is there that the
commercial triumphs of the future are
to be won. All the great nations APP
preciate this fact, and each is strain
ing every endeavor to put itself in such
position that it will be large par
ticipant in the harvest.
The United States has become the
master of the Pacific. In Pearl harbor
in Hawaii, Pago Page harbor in Tuluila,
the harbor of Guam and Manila bay
the United States possesses the four
finest harbors to be found between
San Francisco and China. In the
maintenance of great merchant ma
rine and naval power the possession of
fine harbors is of the greatest advan-
tage. All nations desiring to compete
with the United States on the Pacific
will be seriously handicapped by the
lack of good ports, naval and coaling
stations.
Every natural advantage being with
the United States in exercising control
of the Pacific, both in a commercial
and naval sense, it only remains for
the government to realize upon it's op-
portunity. The work of fitting up the
harbors of Hawaii, Tuluila, Guam and
Manila to meet the demands which
will be made upon them has already
been begun. Plans for fortifying all
these harbors are now being made by
the war department, and the navy de-
partment is preparing to meet the
needs of the navy by erecting piers
and coaling stations. Contracts have
been let for the construction of steel
coal sheds in Hawaii, to have capacity
of 20, 900 tons, and for two steel piers.
One of these piers is to be 465 feet long
and so feet wide. The other is to be
| 80 feet wide at the retaining wall, 40
feet wide at the outer end, 400 feet
long on one side and $50 feet on the
other.
The steel pier to be erected at Page
Pago is to be 256 feet long and 4s feet
wide. The coal sheds will have a ca
pacity of 5000 tons. The steel for
these works is already on the way to
Tuluila. A coaling station, with ca
pacity of 10000 tons, is to be erected at
good location in the harbor of Guam.
It has also been decided to make a
coaling station of land which the gov
eminent has leased from Japan in the
harbor of Yokohama for that purpose.

THE HOLLAND BOAT.
Two Reports State That the Trials of the
Submarine Torpedo Boat Have
Been Successful.

New York, Nov. 17.-The official re-
ports on the Holland submarine tor
pedo boat from John Lowe, captain
United States navy, and the board of
inspection and survey, in which the
president is Admiral Frederick Rod
gers, were made public yesterday.
Both reports deal at length in the
technicalities of the trials and both
agree that the trials have been success
full in almost every particular. Capt.
Lowe concludes his technical report as
follows:
report my belief that the Holland is a sue
full and Veritable submarine torpedo boat, capa-
BILE of making a veritable attack upon an enemy
unseen and undetectable, and, that, therefore,
she is an engine of warfare of terrible potency
which the government must necessarily adopt
into it's service.

Pnlace 90 Wheen

is a somewhat hackneyed term as applied to
railroad trains, but 1t accurately describes
the Alton Limited, the newly equipped day
trains of the Chicago & Alton R. r. Co.
which were placed IN daily service between
Chicago and st. Louis, November 10, 1899.
The equipment consists of standard Chicago
& Alton passenger locomotive; United
States postal car, sixty-six feet in length:
combination passenger and baggage car,
combination parlor chair car and coach, Chi
cago & Alton parlor chair car; cafe and buff
fet smoking car and Pullman parlor observa-
ton car, each of which IS. seventy-two feet
six inches IN length. The framing of all
these cars is Pullman standard with Empire
decks, wide yestibules, standard steel plat
forms and anti-telescoping device All of
the cars are lighted with electric lights ex-
cept the mail car and combination passenger
coach and baggage car. which are lighted
with Pintsch gas. The windows throughout
the entire train are of uniform width, the
Gothic lights above being of the new Pull
man standard. The ornamentation is of spe-
cial design, the color scheme being maroon.
Great care has been used in the selection of
pushes and woods for the interior, and the
lamps, metal furnishings, ETC., are of special
design. It Is claimed that there has never
been built in America train which has re-
ceived as much attention as to constructive
details as has The Alton Limited An ex-
animation of this superb train certainly
bears out this claim.

BANDITS IN THE EAST.
Lake Shore Train Boarded by Masked Men,
Who Entered the Express Car, but
Were Frightened Away.

Erie, Pa, Nov. IA daring attempt
was made by a gang of masked men to
rob Lake Shore train between Erie
and Conneaut early this morning. The
robbers boarded the train at Ashtabu-
la, where it stopped to take water. At
lonely place called Dock junction,
two miles east of Conneaut, the express
messenger stepped from one car to an
other for the purpose of checking up
some express bills, when one of the gang
sprang into the car and broke into sew
eral packages. But before he could
get to where the money envelopes were
the messenger returned and seeing the
robber at work gave the alarm. The
other members of the gang, who were
standing guard on the platform of the
west end of the car, then pulled the
bell rope and when the train stopped
jumped off and made their escape in
the darkness.

BANKING STATISTICS.
ComptrolIer Dawes Makes Public the Re-
suits of an Investigation He Has
Made into Financial Matters.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Charles g.
Dawes, comptroller of the currency,
has just made public the results of an
investigation which he has made into
the number of loans and deposit ac-
counts, rates of interest and resources
of the combined banks of the United
States in the years 1889, 1894 and 1899.
In collecting this data nearly 10, 900 re-
ports from banks have been examined
and compiled. The investigation into
number of loans and deposit accounts
and average loans and deposits is the
first ever made covering the United
States, either in reference to the ma
tional system or banks other than ma
tional. The results of this investiga-
ton indicate a magnitude of banking
resources and rate of growth in num-
Der of deposit accounts which is I'M
paralleled in the financial history of
the world. The general deductions
from the investigation covering the
last ten years is given by the comp
troller as follows:
First-That the number of individual depos-
itorS in the banks of the United States is con-
stantly increasing, as indicated by the regular
increase in the number of deposit accounts Of
the combined banking systems, estimated as
follows: July 10. 1889, 1923 banks reporting,
6.7Os. 971; July IS, 1894, 9.5O8 banks reporting,
S,993,766 June 81, 1899, 1872 banks reporting,
Il, 432, $50.
Second-That there is demand from borrow
ers for the use of the greater portion of the de-
posits of the banks, and while the number of
individual borrowers is increasing the depoS-
itorS greatly outnumber the borrowers and the
increase in the number of borrowers is much
less than the increase in the number of depoS-
itorS, indicated by the rate of increase in the
number of loans, estimated as follows: July
II, 1885, 1903 banks reporting 2, 188 54I; July 10,
1894, 9,508 banks reporting, 1880, 694; June 30 =,
1899, g. 1872 banks reporting, 3,9l1,664.
Third-That the growth of the banking sys-
TENS is being characterized by a gradually
lessening rate of interest charged on loans.
Fourth-That gradually lessening rate of
interest is being paid upon deposits.
Fifth-That considering the urge clientage
of national and savings banks the average de-
posit of the individual corporation is slowly
increasing.
Sixth-That the average size of the loans, all
classes of banks considered, has not varied
much in the last decade.
Seventh-That the growth in the aggregate
of individual deposits has been as follows: July
H. 1889, 1908 banks reporting So 776 40 492; July
49, 1894 9,508 banks reporting, 81 SOL 215 302 June
80, 1899. 9,7S2 banks reporting, Sc, 768 $50 1851.
Eighth-That the growth in aggregate loans
has been as follows: July II, 1889, 1908 banks
reporting So AS, 272 272 July 49, 1894, 95S banks
reporting 81 085, 069 401 June 81, 1892 1872 banks

THE JAPs DESIRE WAR.
FrettIng Under Russian Aggression. the
Mikado's Subjects May Designedly
Seek a Motive for Trouble.

London, Nov. 17.-John Dill Ross, an
expert in far eastern matters, has a
statement in the Mail which expresses
a firm belief in the posi- bility of trouble
between Japan and Russia. He thinks
Japan may designedly seek a motive
for the struggle, and he suggests the
probability of an invasion of Japan by
Russia. He says:
''There is japanese peril which is
danger and a menace to the peace of
all the great powers, America included.
The relations between Russia and
Japan, which seems strained to the
breaking point one day, is little more
reassuring on the next. There is indi-
cation of an unavoidable state of things
in the far east.
1.-THE Japanese are restless under a
sense of wrongs which are as intoler-
able to them as those of the Uitlanders
in the Transvaal have been to us.
They have very powerful navy and a
fine army, maintained at cost which
weighs heavily on the people who
count everything in dollars and cents
instead of pounds and shillings."
