TO KEEP RATS AWAY.
Device Used on ships In the Plague
Ports.

Russian authorities, alive 10 the ne
cessity OF keeping out the plague, have
resorted to this way Of preventing rats
from boarding ships. which is descib-
ed by Consul Heenan Of odessa:
II saw the other day a curious device
attached TO .he mooring rope or cable
OF a steamer which was loading at this
port. The cable was run through a
piece Of iron pipe about a foot long, and
welded on the end OF the pipe was a
large fange or funnel which looked
like the end Of a trumpet, with the
wide end facing the ship. The iron
pipe was stuffed with oakum, to pre-
vent 1t from slipping, and also TO pre-
vent rats from passing through It,
This novel construction was close to
the ship.
"On lnquiring what purpose this de-
vice served was informed that the
Russian authorities furnished these ap-
planes, and Obliged all ships to use
them whenever they came from a port
infected with the plague, to prevent
the rats on the ship ron coming on
shore. It is conceded generally that
the plague has been carried and spread
hy rats which have left the ships com
ing from infected ports. It Is known
that rats make use OF the cable 20
come ashore, and this iron pipe with
its funnel shaped arrangement was
employed 10 prevent such visits, II pos
sible. These devices are attached 10
each cable to which the ship Is mOored.
In addition to this precaution the mas
ter Of the ship is Obliged to take down
his loading stages every night and
erect them the following morning, to
prevent the rats from coming on shore
in the night"

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. S-The

port after a rough passage Of p days
from Nagasaki. She had but IL pas
sengers, Including several discharged
soldiers.
The transport Indiana, with the Ten

she had over 100 prisoners aboard. Most
Of these are destined for Alcatraz.

confine them. When the st. Paul left

with minor offenses, though three were
convicted Of assaulting an officer and
one Of desertion.

BAsUTos ARE RISING.
England Will Be Obliged to Raise a
Secoud Army Corps Immediately

NEW YORK, Nov, s.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says;
The danger Of BasutO uprising is
now admitted to be imminent, and this
will affect General Buffers plan of
campaign and may render necessary
the mobilization of a second army
corps.
The Basutos have large force Of
mounted warriors armed with rifles
and highly skilled mounted infantry,
and they have an innate passion for
fighting and strong animosity towards
the Dutch.
Certainly, with the Free State at
war with England, Il Is impossible for
the British troops TO police the Basu-
toland border or take any effective pre-
cautionary measures for averting d
dire catastrophe. The black menace
is the darkest cloud now settling over
South Africa.

APPPEHENDS AN ATTACK BY RUSSIA
Great Britain Sending Large Force Marines to lbs Pacific
Stronghold as Precautionary Measure Significant
Russian Actions.

The reason for the hurried strength
enirg Of Esqulmalt lies in the appre-
henslon Of the imperial government
that Russia may seize the opportunity
OF the Boer war to attack England
in the East.
Recent concerted action OF the Rus
sian and French fleets In the Mediter-
ranean which drew out protest from
Great Britain, taken in conjunction
with significant utterances by the Rus
sian and French press may have led
the British war once to determine the
precautionary measures Of which the
strengthening Of Esquimalt and Hall
fax form a part.
The actual strslgth Of the force OF
marines now on their way 70 Esqui-
malt is not known.
A number Of marines will be left at
Halifax but the bulk will go to Esqui-
malt.

The American manufacturers as a

NEGRO BOsHEADs AT WORK

The Messenger lately referred to T.
Thomas Fortune, the bright, malignant
negro in New York city who is the ed
itor OF the New York Age. He edits it
for matters of strife, and to stir up
hatred against the southern whites, and
all the better class of negroes who are
disposed ITO be friendly and .neighborly
to the whites. II this fellow could ave
his way the south would be a wide field
of carnage, and a war of extermina-
ton would rage from Maryland to the
Gulf of Mexico. This %grievous mari
plot and enemy Of his race has declared
war against Mckinley and a second
term. The country can we'll spare Nc
Kinley, for a worse president has
hardly sat in the chair. But T.. Thomas
fights him because of his curse to-
wards h negroes. He forgets that
Mckinley vas SO very accommodating
that he appointed negroes tic many i'm
portant offices in the south-postmas-
terships, custom houses, etc., and that
too to anger and offend the whites
who did not desire them. Mckinley
has not been ~forgetful of the negroes
as charged except in the north. There
Fortune receives no favors, and his
smunities in defiance of the win of the
tax payers and busy men.

ored the 1ynchers, etc. The Atlanta
| Constitution notes three errors in The
Ages talk:
Now there are two or three points
in the foregoing Which we beg our read
ers carefully to note. First, hat this
| educated negro, ambitious to speak for
his race, anxious ito be known as a lead
er among negroes, has nothing in his
mind higher thar partisan politics, and
nothing in his mind higher than pre-
judice and envy; second, that he seems
NOT to have the slightest conception Of
the constitutional barriers which stand
between the president and interference
in state affairs; and, third, that he ap-
| parently regards the negro criminals
who have fallen victims to the fury
of THE mob as martyrs to republican
principles"
But remember that just such fellows
"of his baser sort" as this T. Thomas
is are rampant i'm the war upon Booker
Washington and other intelligent COL
ored men because of their conserva-
tism and horse-sense. The Constitu-
tion says that in Tennessee negro
preachers who are politicians are
damning Washington too. The same
type of Africans who hate the whites,
and they are in both sections, are the

upon President Washington and all
other sensible, considerate negroes who

COPY a passage from a letter from the
most illustrious South Carolina states
man. that DR.. Curry never saw. IL
was written by Mr.. Calhoun TO MT.
Samuel L. Gouverneur, Of New York
state. 1t is dated "Abbeville, 10th
June. 1926. 1t Is to be foun1 in the
New York Public Library. In 1t occurs
a passage, written nearly three-quar-
tiers of a century g that records ahe
penitration, wisdom and genuine Amer
icanism of the honest and %virtuous and
very able statesman. He wrote this:
II do firmly believe, that an amend
ment to the constitution, as TO the
mode of choosing h president is m
~dfspensable. The present Will
end in deep corruption. Let the peo-
ole have the power directly; let the
vote be by districts; and, if there be no
choice, let the two highest candidates
be sent back to the people, and all will
be we'll. To effect this great object
your legislature can do much, II put
in action; and / know of no one better
calculated to put 1T in action than your
self, who so we'll Understands the pres
emit dangerous defects"
This was written before the corrup-
tions of the great war had come upon
tfe country and all of it's fearful train
of evils. 1t was before the public life
had become so Initiated and ~debauched
THAT aspiring stupidity could reach the
II. s. Senate by purchase of leglsla-
lures, and a political leper and Par1ah
like Mark Hanna could place IN the
presidential chair a man never elected
but chosen merely Through bribery,
~br0ldozing and false counting. 1t was
before the black damning days of Re
construction when robbery and vice
and immortality and drunkenness ran
riot from the white house down to the
home of the heeler and hencemen. 1t
was before the "Black Friday when
a republican president was badly
scorched and smirched. 1t was before
anOther republican, pueSfu0lplL iau NAP
ed upon him bribery and crime while
in the congress. 1t was before the day
when an elected candidate to the presl-
dency could be cheated out OF the place
by the conspiracy of the president and
his allies, and a fellow Installed who
never had the slightest claim to the
high office. Surely it is time to change
the manner of electing senators.
