COLONIZATION
WAS HIS THEME
Poultney Bigelow Addresses the
International Geographical
Congress at Berlin.

Berlin, October Sat today's session of
the International Geographical congress
and in the presence of distinguished
audience, including many colonial and 9TH
er government officials, Poultney Bgelow
discussed Colonial Administration in Diff
ferent Parts of the World"
The paper was received with much favor.
Mr.. Bigelow said that this year, memorable
for the international peace conference at
The Hague, whose noble purposes it had
been to make war less frequent and less
brutal, would be none the less gratefully
remembered for the supplementary WORK
of peace entrusted to the great geographic
cal congress of Berlin.
1t had taken centuries of business and
bloodshed to reach the state of compare
tive civilization now enjoyed by the world.
1--WE were just beginning to realize that
what interested one interested all; that in
colonial matters the most important con-
dition today was unity among the whites,
whether English, Russian, French or Ger
man."
.'In the far east" continued Mr.. Bigelow
"the United States has now become rival
of Europe through the occupation of Ma
Mia. Americans thus become next-door
neighbors to Hong Kong, and are almost
equally interested in the projected railway
terminating at Kio-Chou. In common with
Germany, however, the United States has
experience yet to purchase; and from OBJ
servations made during the war fear my
country is learning her lesson at an ex-
travagant price.
1.-THE United States has officially COM
menced the government of tropical en-
pire under conditions which make it prob
able that Americans will repeat the blum
der which the Englishmen committed a
century ago. Much as the Filpinos dis
liked Spanish rule, they dislike Yankee rule
even more.
Nor is this to be wondered at. Methods
successful against the American Indians
and against negroes are not found success
full in the philippines, nor do they attract
a spirited race such as inhabits the Philip
pines.
1.-The curse of America today is that her
politicians and newspapers stand in fear
OF mobs. Any one who dares to criticise
the wisdoM of mob-inspired machinery is
howled at as unpatriotic If not a traitor.
The war fever has gone to the brain of
the American mob, especially that section
of the mob which go TO the war Conse
quently the colonial operations of the
United States are marked by great haste
in preparation by frequency of charges of
plan, by reckless expenditure of life and
money and by lamentablc failure to full
fill the reasonable anticipation of the mer-
chant class who are. after all, the best
judges of colonial administration.
England has purchased great experience
in India, and even with all the cost of the
Sepoy mutiny can hardly think the price
too high for the vast benefits which have
followed from this terrible lesson. Ameri-
ca has this same lesson to learn and let
us pray that she may learn it from the
mother country rather than rush blindly

At LeadingtOn

Leadington, KY, October 3-The sunlight
of perfect October day greeted the OPEN
ing of the meeting of the Kentucky Trot-
ting Horse Breeders association. The
amount of money said to have changed
hands on the Futurity is estimated at $780,
co.,
In the fifth and deciding heat Ectacy set
a hot pace, but Boralma won easily. 1t
was the same in the other heats, except
the fily kept pace to the stand, then broke,
letting Boralma by with good leg action.
Boralma was bought last night by Thomas
w. Lawson of Boston for $4,000 on eondi-
tlon of winning the Futurity. The first
money, $1,000, goes to Mr.. Lawson. Mr.
Lawson won $4,000 in pools. He presented
$1,000 to Gus Macy, Boralmas driver. DR..
T. c. Mccoy of Kirkwood, Del, gave
Macy $4,000.
The Kentucky Futurity, value $4,000, for

into situations from which only a costly
war can eXtrcate her.
English public opinion is today educated
in respect Of colonial needs just as in Ger
many public opinion is educated to an al
most Incredible degree in military mat
tiers. But the average American voter as
represented by the undsciplned press and
irresponsible congressman, offers solu-
ton in the present colonial embarra s5ment
save to send more troops and to shoot more
natives.
THE lesson we Americans are now learn
ing is a lesson for the whole world. Co
lcnies succeed in proportion as they are
justly administered. There is no man so
low in the human scale that he can DO
treated unjustly with impunity. The best
talent produced by the white mans civil-
cation is nome too good when it comes to
governing communities of subtle orientals
with varying creeds and complex cond-
tions. We used to think that any teacher
was good enough for the elementary
schools, but now we realize that the best
is none too good for the beginner. 1t is
intended at the beginning that the best
work be done, and colonies are much like

Sident New Orleans Cotton
Exchange Enters a Protest.
ANSWERS DEALYS LETTER
Says Operator Responsible for Fridays
Specials is Guilty of Criminal
Negligence and Should be
Relieved from Duty

New Orleans, La, October 3.-The follow
ing was forwarded by telegraph today BY
the president of the New Orleans Cotton
Exchange in reference to last Fridays fias-
co concerning Liverpool quotations:
New Orleans, La, Oct. 5. 1899.
To the President of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, New York:
If, as stated in Mr.. Dealy's explanation.
the operator in sending Liverpool specials
on Friday changed the system without no.
tification, leaving the trade to read the dis
patches as had been customary, and which
reading created false impression of enor-
nous advances, his action Wa: no less
criminal than if the result of wilful and
corrupt deception.
The cotton trade of the south has been
victimized and demoralized by the crimi-
nal neglect and careessness on the part
of your employees, and it is due to the cot
ton trade, as we'll as to the interests of
your company that the official or officials
whose neglect of duty permitted such con-
ditions and the operator or operators VINO
sent the dispatches without notice OF
change, should be known to the world and
promptly dismissed as an example to deter
others in future from like criminal negli-
gence
We do not consider absence of officials
who leave their duty to be performed by
incompetent people any excuse for so grave
an issue.
The board of directors of this exchange
meet tomorrow to take vigorous action in
the matter, and your prompt reply is re-
quested for their consideration. (SigneO
