None Whatever With That Nation Nor

Those Known to the Worid--GOvern-

fathers and Avoid Entangling Euro

pean Alliances.

Columbus, O.. Oct 12.-In a letter to
Chairman Dick of the Republican State
Executive committee, Secretry of State
Hay makes this emphatic statement
concerning the alleged secret alliance
between England and the United States.
There is no alliance with England nor
with any other power under heaven, E.g
cept those known and published to the
world, the treaties of ordinary interna-
tional friendship for purposes of bust
ness and commerce. No treaty other
than these exists, none has been sug
gested on either side; none is in con-
temptation. 1t has never entered into
the mind of the president or any men,
ber of the government to forsake under
any inducement the wise precept and
example of the fathers, which forbade
entangling alliances with European
powers"

NEGRO EDUCATION.
rAtlanta Cor. New York Post. I

The success of Booker Washington's
school at TuSkegee, Ala, has given an
impulse to industrial education for ne
groes which is felt throughout the
south. Two schools modelled after the
TuSkegee institute have been estab-
lished in Georgia Each is in a section
where the colored population is very
numerous, and where the facilities for
the education of the colored children
generally are very poor. One of these
institutions, the Fort Valley industrial
school, is located in the center of the
best cotton and fruit growing region of
the state, and is in a fiourishing condi-
ton. ]. w. Davidson, the principal,
and the assistant principal, ]. H. Tor
bert, are highly educated colored men,
and have had long experience as teach
ers. They became convinced that the
ordinary schools for their race in Geor-
gia were not well adapted to the ca
pacity and needs of the negro, and sew
eral years ago, with the aid of a num-
Der of white friends in Fort Valley and
it's vicinity, they established an indus
trial school It was started on a very
small scale, but it has grown steadily
until it has an attendance Of nearly 500
students, a full corps of teachers, COM

the Fort Valley industrial school is open
to colored students of both sexes. They
are taught the usual high school studies
and receive practical instruction in var
ious departments.
The boys are trained to be carpen-
tiers, bricklayers, blacksmiths, plaster
erS, etc, and are instructed also in
scientific farming. The girls are trained
in dressmaking, cooking, fancy needle
work, telegraphy, stenography, millin-
cry, typewriting, etc. A large proportion
of the graduates of the school are spo-
ken for before they finish their course,
and go out at once to fill good posi-
lions.

school $1,000 a year, and this will prob
ably be increased. The negroes of the

CHAMPIONS AGONCILLO.
Helen n. Cougar Calls Him Patriotic
and a Statesman.

Lafayette, Ind, Feb. 13.-Helen NJ.
Cougar sends the following to a Chi
cago paper:
Permit me to most respectfully en-
ter my protest to your unfair and flip
pant treatment of Agoncillo the digni-
fed, scholarly, patriotic and statesman
like representative of the government
of the Philippines. No man, under the
trying circumstances of his visit, could
have conducted himself more consist
emily or more statesmanlike than he
has done No one could have been
treated in a more demagogish manner,
more disgracefully or unjust1y than he
has been by the president, William Nc
Kinley. 1t is enough to make every
American hide his head in shame.
Again, your arraignment of the MEM
bers of the United States senate who
voted against the ratification of
treaty that endangerS the. life of popu-
lar government and violates the spirit
of the constitution deserves rebuke. Not
upon these honorable men, but upon the
head of our unworthy president is the
blood of every man who fell before the
guns in the recent engagement at Ma
Mia.
1T is high time that craftsmanship
should take the place of blind party
zeal in the conduct of the press of the
country. Dignity Of discussion will be
more tolerable to your readers than
f1ippant comments on the grave situa-
ton confronting this nation under the
administration of the weakest president
that ever endangered the welfare of this
government. Respectfully yours for a

BIG CANEFIELD FIRE.
Heavy Loss Sustained on the Makee
Hawaiian Plantation.

Seattle, Wn., Feb. 13-A terrible cane
fire was raging in the fields of the Ma
kee Sugar company, near KAUAI, when
the steamer James Makee left that
point for Honolulu. All day the over
seers had been working with all the
men they could command to pillow down
the cane in front of the fire, and in this
way check it. Up to the time the steam
er left this had been absolutely without
avail. The fire jumped the break every
time.
The valuable manufacturing buildings
of the company full of machinery were
in danger of destruction. Even if the
fire was checked before the buildings
were reached, the loss the burned
fields would be very great. The fire
started in the lower or wainuinui fields.
Manager Fairchilds was of the opinion
that it was the work of a band of dis
charged natives, who had previously
been employed in the cane fields. They
were found to be dishonest, and threat
ened to destroy the plantation when
they were discharged.

MASSING AN ARMY.
Russia is Pouring Troops Into
Port Arthur.

San Francisco, Feb. 13.-Advices from
the Orient state that the Russian gov
eminent is pouring troops into Port
Arthur and Talien-Wan on the ground
that the force now garrisoned at those
places is too small, in view of the ap-
parent discomfort of the inhabitants of
the LiaoTung peninsula, who have
within the last two months risen up
against the Russians in 13 townships
and districts.
No less than 5000 men have landed at
Port Arthur within a. month and it is
intended to add q, 900 more before the
end of the Chinese first moon, making
a full army corps of some sc, 900 in ad-
dition to the garrisons of $4,000 men for
Port Arthur and 5000 for Talien-Wan.

The county makes an appropriation for
the school every year. 1t also receives
contributions from many white friends
in the vicinity and in other parts OF
Georgia, and from some in the north.
A similar school has recently been
opened at Greensboro, in the eastern
part of the state, and has every pros
pect of success.
The white people of Georgia are dis
posed to encourage schools of this char
acter, and would be glad to see them
receive more aid from the state. There
is no thought in Georgia of adopting the
policy of separating the school fund for
the two races and leaving each to sup
port it's own schools. AS the negroes
pay only per cent of the taxes in this
state. such a law would leave their
common schools in a pitiable condition.

WANTS MORE REINDEER.
W. T. Harris DESTROYS of Con tin uing
the Experiments in Alaska.

Washington, Feb. 13.-An echo of the
disastrous reindeer experiment of the
government last winter, when a rein
deer expedition was sent to the relief
of the ice-bound wha1ers at Point Bar
row, was heard in the house of repre-
sentatives today, when w. T. Harris.
the commissioner of education, asked
for an appropriation of SIS, 900 for con-
tinufng the experiment.
One-half of this sum is to be used at
the outset in buying reindeer in Siberia
and transporting them to Boring Straits
and Point Rodney to replace the REIN
deer borrowed by the government for
the Point Barrow expedition.
1t is also proposed that the reindeer
station in Alaska be maintained for the
instruction of Alaskan natives in the
care and management of the reindeer
for domestic purposes. This will cost
$12, 500 next year.

MENINGITIS YET EPIDEMIC
All the Children in Morgantown, KY,
Are to Be Removed.

Evansville, Ind, Feb. 13.-A telephone
message from Morgantown, Ky, last
night says no deaths have resulted from
spinal meningitis since Thursday. Up
on orders from the state board of
health every house in which a death
has occurred was disinfected and it is
believed the epidemic is under full con-
troll. The board has also ordered the
removal from the town of all young
people, they being more susceptible to
the disease.
A boat will reach Morgantown today
and all the children will be removed to
Bowling Green, where arrangements
have been made to keep them until the
worst has passed. Business remains
suspended, and it will be fully week
before the refugees return. There is
sickness in one-third of the homes of
the town and most cases will likely re-
suit fatally.
The epidemic has broken out in the
country districts about ten miles below
Morgantown and there is much alarm
