CANADA BLOCKING THE wAYs
President Mckinley Anxious to Set

London. May 29.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Daily Chronicle, refer
ring 10 the Alaska boundary dispute says.
President Mckinley has all along been
most anxious TO bring about a settlement.
He personally urged the American COM
missioners TO make every reasonable con-
cession and to go 20 the extreme limit of
generosity, if necessary. so deeirous was
he to remove all cause of friction.
Secretary Hay has been anima ted by
the same motive, and the principal rea-
son why he left the United States embassy
IN London TO assume the portfolio of Sec
retary of States was his hope of finally
settling al the disputed questions"
After reviewing the history of the com,
missions deliberations, the correspondent
says:
TO agree in advance to cede port
would be making a farce of arbitration
The United States has shown a dlspos-
ton to make concessions and has offered
20 buy out the Bering sea sealers at a

A SENSIBLE VIEW.
Taken of Lynching by a Sensible
Negro of south Carolina.

Negro of South Carolina.
Columbia, s. c., May 2S.-Following the
resolutions of colored Methodists of Green
vile district. representing 1000 members,
THAT it is the opinion of the colored min
isters of this country that better order
of things can and would be established be-
tween the two races if the captious and
sensational seekers of power and fame
were more discreet in the utterances,"
comes written statement from George r.
Shaw of Clemson, negro of sound sense,
who is opposed TO Northern declaration
of his race. His card will be printed to-
morrow;
Shaw says: 1T Is the duty Of every
man, white and black, when such crimes
(Hose's) are committed to run the villains
down and see that justice is meted out
sure and swift.
lone reason such crimes are committed
by negroes is there is no discipline over
negro children nowadays. Negro chill
dren from 10 years old up are allowed TO
loaf about from place to place and with
all kinds of characters, and when they are
grown they have no moral restraints. Any
thing they do need not surprise you.
There is much said about educating the
negro, but intellectual education alone
because the most of them, when they get
it, think that they don't have to do man
ual labor. What my people need Is indus
trial. moral and common school educa-
tion, to prepare them TO know how to
treat their fellows. Lynchng does no
good; it makes bad worse. The brute that
viii do these crimes never sees a newspa-
per.
Sam Hose and all such, ought 10 die
but not at the hands of mob, only as
last resort. It is a great reproach to the
negro for their neighbors to say they are
afraid to leave their homes for fear some
negro will disturb the quetness of his
family. The negro must be taught to abb
hor crime from principle, and not through
fear.
"The critics should take this Sam Hose
case home to themselves. If the same
crime was committed in my immediate
vicinity most any of us who have self-re-
speet would do very nearly as the Geor-
gians did. If we did not lynch. we would
hold the clothes of those who were doing
| the work"
