The RACE PROBLEM.
Bishop L H. HoIsey, of Texas, Has
scheme tn Colonze Them and
Erect Negro States

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-At the meeting
OF the colored mems convention Friday.
Bishop L. Fl. Holsey, of Texas, pro.
posed to the mem bers an entirely new
scheme for the solution of the race
problem. His idea is to have the Ne.
groes build up separate government
OF their own, but instead of deporting
them to Africa, as advocated by Bishop
Turner, of Georgia, he would have this
mecca of the colored man located with
In the United States.
Bishop Holsey explains his propose.
ton as follows:
There is but one way to solve this
problem and that is separation and
segregation. That is, the Negro race
must occupy state or states and hold
territory to themselves. To make
this movement effective l, 500. 600 vot-
ers should sign a petition to congress
to set apart sufficient amount of the
public domain with proper legislative
restrictions by which state or states

ly Negro states, having all the rights,
powers, privileges, functions and po.
litical facilities given other states in
the union.
If this can be accomplished the black
man would derive all the benefits and
advantages for development that make
people intelligent, thoughtful and
noble.
The removal of the Negro to such
state or states would settle the great
problem as far as the Negro is con-
cerred, and would relieve the south of
many side issue in the social and DO.
litical world.
When asked what portion of the
United States had been selected by
the advocates of the scheme, Bishor
Holsey replied: Oklahoma and New
Mexico have been mention, but we
have not got SO far with the project
that we feel in position to select any
particular territory"

1.-THE Hogs Are Eating Ny Child Cried
Mrs. Fred Lawyer, Near Washing
ton, Ind, and Dropped Dead.

WASHINGTON, Ind, Aug. 1s,~-Mrs.
Fred Lawyer, who resides SIX miles

year-old children at home alone Thurs
day morning, while she visited neigh
Dor. Suddenly she heard the cries OF
q child.
1.-The hogs are eating my baby" she
cried, as she sprang to her feet, and
started on a run toward her home.
Mrs. Lawyer had gone but a short dis
tance when she fell to the ground un-
conscious, and in 20 minutes died.
Heart disease was brought on by fright,
the doctors say.
The child whose cries had caused its
mothers death was merely crying be-

BACILLUS IcTERoIDES.
The Commission Appointed by the Presi-
dent TO Investigate Cause of Vel
low Fever Reports.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The report
OF the commission appointed by the
president in 1897 from the marine hos
pital service staff to investigate the
nature of yellow fever was Friday
made public by Surgeon General Wy
man. The commission was composed
OF Surgeon Eugene Wasdin and Past
Assistant Surgeon Geddings, both yell
low fever experts
The conclusions of the commission
are summarized as follows:
First, That the micro organism dis
covered by Prot. Giuseppe Sanarelli, of
the university of Bologna, Italy, and
by him named Bacillus icteroides," is
the cause of yellow fever.
Second, That yellow fever is natural
ly infectious to certain animals, the
degree varying with the species; that
In some rodents local infection is very
quickly followed by blood infection;
and that, while in dogs and rabbits
there is no evidence of this subsequent
invasion of the blood, monkeys react
to the infection the same as man.
Third, That infection takes place by
way of the respiratory tract, the pri-
mary colonization in this tract giving
rise to the earlier manifestations OF
the disease.
Fourth, That in many cases OF the
disease, probably a majority, the pri.
mary infection or colonization in tho
lungs is followed by secondary in
lection" or a secondary colonization of
this organism in the blood of the pa
tient. This secondary infection may
be complicated by the Gcinstantaneous
passage of other org anisms into the
blood, or this complication may arise
during the last hours Of life.
Fifth, That there is no evidence to
support the theory advanced by Prof.
Sanarelli that this disease is primarily
a septicaemia, inasmuch as cases do
occur in which the bacillus icteroides
can not be found in the blood or or
gans in which it might be deposited
therefrom.
Sixth, That there exists no ca.ual
between the bacillus tx"
OF Sternb berg, and this highly infectious
disease, and that the bacillus TX" ID
found in the intestinal con.
tents or normal animals and of man,
as well as in the urine and the bron-
chial section.
Seventh, That so far as your commits.
sion is aware, the bacillus icteroides
has never been found in any body ether
than one infected with yellow fever,
and that whatever may be the cultural
similarities between this and other
it is characterized bv
a specifcity which is distinctive.
Eighth, That the bacillus icteroides
is very susceptible to the influences in
furious to bacterial life; and that it's
ready control by the processes of dis
infection, chemical and mechanical. is
assured.
Ninth, That the bacillus icteroides
produces in vitro as we'll as in vats, a
toxin of the most marked potency, and
that, from our present knowledge,
there exists a reasonable possibility
for the ultimate production of an anti
serum more potent than that of Prof
SanarelE.

ROOTS PLAN.
VIII Divide The Philippine Islands.
DEPARTMENTS TOBE nADE.
This VIII Give The Fighting Generals
More Liberty During Active
Operations.

Chicago, Sept. THE Washington
correspondent of the tribune says:
Secretary Roots PLAZA of campaign
in the Philippines does not at present
contemplate substituting any officers
now in this country for Gen. Otis. In
fact, the principal complaint against
Otis has been the fact he has stuck to
his desk to closely, and hence the sec
rotary cannot see the wisdom of re-
lieving him by another general who IS
also unacquainted with the country at
the front. The intention is rather to
give increased authority TO the lighting
generals already at the front, and this
will be accomplished, unless present
plans are radically altered, by dividing
the islands INTO military departments
and putting Lawton, Macarthur, Whea-
ton, Bates, and one or two others in
command.
While his jealousy of his subordi-
mates is notorious. 1t is believed he
would not hamper a department com
mander.
In fact, this plan was originally sug-
gested by Gen. Otis himself 1t was
about to be announced when Secretary
Alger was forced to retire. and since
Secretary Root has been studying the
situation, he has reached the conclusion
that the department plan will bring TO
the front the younger generals like
Lawton, and by investing them with Il
district territorial command they will
be given wide range of action Gen.
Otis will retain nominal supreme com
mand, but the general IN command of
department would be great deal more
Independent than one who was merely
a subordinate.
If this view continues TO prevail Gen
Wheeler will put at the head Of the
cavalry force, while Gen Ojs will con-
tinue to work at his desk supervising
customs returns, editing reports for
the correspondents, and eating himself
up in routine matters with the sullen
pertinacity which has prevented him
thus far from smelling powder.
Up TO date there has been no serious
purpose of sending Gen. Miles to The
Philippines.
