Contractors Present Figures on Two
New Truck Houses.


In response to their second invitation, the
posals for constructing the two truck
houses provided for the fire department by
the current District appropriation bill. By
the acceptance of the lowest of these bids
. It is believed the houses can be built. A
number of proposals were received by the
Commissioners several weeks ago for this
purpose. but 1t discovered that none
of them was low enough to permit the con-
struction of the buildings.
The appropriation act provides the sum
of S23. 600 for the purchase of site, fur
niture and construction Of each house
One of the houses is to be erected on
Whitney avenue between 18th and 14th
streets, Columbia Heights. and the other
on street between Saith and 35th. George

the site of the Whitney avenue house.

said to be very desirous of obtaining Dis
trict government construction.
AS he is the lowest bidder, and as the
amour Is named by him, respectively, come
well within the amounts remaining avail
able for the construction of the two truck
houses, il Is expected that the contracts
will be awarded to him.
The Commissioners hope to have the

TO DGSFRANCHISE NEGROES
Eventful Campaign Just Begun in North
Carolina.
Practically n Struggle Between the
Two Races for Political Su-
premacy in State.

ATLANTA. Ga. September 2-The Jour-
nal this afternoon publishes a story from
its special correspondent, who has recently
been in North Carolina. on the campaign
commenced there by the white people, both
democrats and republicans, to disfranchise
1OOO 600 negro voters in that state.
The Journal says: North Carolina has
just entered upon one of the most eventful
campaigns in her history. 1t is a death
struggle between the Anglo-Saxon and the
African. This campaign is waged on q
proposed suffrage amendment to the consti-
tuition. submitted to the people by the last
legislature. 1t was designed for the single
purpose of eliminating the negro as polit-
ical factor.
Every person of eligible age who applies
for registration, for instance, must be able
to read and write any section or sections
OF the federal constitution.
Under this clause 100000 incompetent
negro voters in North Carolina will be
forever barred from the polls.
But the ignorant white voters-and there
are perhaps thousands of them-can enter
through another gate. Section 5 provides
that any lineal descendant of any voter in
this country prior to 1887 shall be entitled
to vote, whether he can read and write or
not.

KIND WORDS FOR AMERICA.
Evening Standard Pleased Mt Recen
ton to Sir Thomas Iintnn

f'ehlnS standard Pleased ut Recep-
ttOn to Sir Thomas LiptOn.
LONDON. September 2.-The Evening
Standard today says, editorialy:
The reception accorded Sir Thomas Lip
ton was of the extremely cordial charac-
ter which our American cousins know so
we'll how to exhibit to those whom they
delight to honor. This is particularly no.
uceabe in the case of the members of the
New York Yacht Club, whose warmth of
hospitality makes amends for the unfortu-
nate Misunderstanding which arose when
Valkyrie II was the challenger.
The Cunard line steamer Campania ar
rived at Quarantine in New York last night
at 7:30 O'Clock. and was met in the Mar
rows by a tiotila of tugs and the steam
yacht Erin to greet Sir Thomas Upton,
owner of the yacht Shamrock, who was a
passenger the liner The quarantine
commissioners boat, the State of New
York. also appeared on the scene with a
large party under the guidance of Commits
sioner Palmer.
Sir Thomas Upton when seen at Quaran-
tine said he had had pleasant trip. but
was glad to arrive at his destination. He
said his party was small, consisting of
Mr.. William Fife. tr., Mr.. Ratsey, the sail
maker, and Sir Thomas secretary. Sir
Thomas received an invitation extending
the courtesies of fifty-six clubs while In
this country, and invitation to lead the
marine division of the Dewey day celebra-
ton with his yacht Erin. Both were ac-
ceDted.
One Of the first questions Sir Thomas
asked after the first greeting was. How
is the Columbian"
He then expressed the belief that the
best boat would win, saying: I'VE felt 1t
a waste of time to come here with any
thing but the best boat in England She
is here now. We are going to do our best
The Shamrock will do her best and we will
try to do better than some people who have
been here before. Whatever the outcome
of the race may be, 1 am sure If l am de-
feated it will be because 1 have not the
best boat. feel that 1 am among friends"

Former Yacht in the Lead at Last
Report.

BATEIAN'S POINT, r. l., September g
The starting gun for the trial race be-
tween the Columbia and Defender was fired
at 1:35 pm. Both boats swung around the
lightship, the Defender in the lead. and
headed for the line. They crossed the line
on the port tack with the Defender appar-
emily in the lead at 1:36:25, and the Column
bia at 1865 Both boats. carried all sail,
including baby jib and club topsails.
At 1:49 the boats had sailed about two
miles of the course and were having one
of the hottest races to windward that they
had sailed. The Columbia was on the De-
tenders weather quarter, but could not get
by the old boat.
The boats sailed about five miles, and in
the last three miles the Columbia gained
rapidly, being about half mile to wind
ward and fully quarter of mile ahead
of the Defender The Columbia stood up
better than she ever has done before and
the new steel mast promises to be a sue
cess.
At 1: :5S the boats tackled again to port
this time the Columbia getting around well
on the Defenders bow and establishing her
self in the lead. for the first time in the
race. A freshening wind was then blowing
about ten miles.
