The Boston Times, commenting on
the race riot In New York, admits
that large class of whites In north.
ern cities hate the negro. 1t says:
ut Is a fact that the great mass of the
poorly educated people In Boston and
New York, the people who are on the
streets, or near them, ready TO turn
out for any excitement, have come to
hate the negroes. They approve of
lynch law. The clustering, vain.
glorious attitude OF many northern
negroes, especially when drunk. or
when holding meetings In their
churches or lodge-rooms, is rcspnnsi.

whites. Continuous publicity of negro
acts and threats In Boston has made

The Richmond Times seems to be
considerably troubled as to the exact
meaning of the anti-imperial declara-
tion in the Kansas City platform, and
asks:
What, then, is the difference, after
all, between what Mr. Mckinley has
done and what Mr. Bryan would have
done?"

gress, in the declaration of war against
Spain, established the doctrine under
which Cuba is being peaceably and

What of Miles. Now

The Commanding General of the Army is
again seeking active service. He thinks he
sees an opportunity opening in China for the
activities of soldier OF his experience
and proved capacity.
General Miles in vain sought assignment
to duty when the country was at war
with Spain. and the excuse then secretly
given out from Administration sources for
the refusal to grant his request was that
the Secretary OF War was personally bos-
tile to him AS the result uf an old feud.
Since then there has been 4 change of
War Ministers, and gentleman known
to have enjoyed friendly relations with
General Miles for years has been placed
at tho head of the War Department. II,
signed to active duty, while the nations
normal war energies and resources are be-
ing taxed to their utmost limit. the coun-
try will want 10 know the reason why.
In their woIdrous magnanimi,y the
American people have been willing TO over

stress of avowed and unayowed war. That
reason was very well understood TO be the
dread of the Administration managers
that man of Miles attainments ana am

therefore become d dangerous rival to Mr.
Mckinley for the Persistence In view of
the fact that all OF the party lominat tons
have been made and the political issues
made UP. no such excuse as
this can at presen: he offered Tor holding
back Miles. AT the same time We do not

THE REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.
The Convention of Clubs to Meet To

dny In 81. PuuI.
ST. PAUL, July 1.-THE National
League of Republican Clubs will meet here
tomorrow morning for three days ses-
sion. The presence of Governor Roose-
welt is likely to upset the working calcu-
lations Of the league officials. The Gov
ernor will reach st. Paul at T:45 tomorrow
morning on a special bringing delegates
from the East, and as he will remain only
one day, there is disposition to adjourn
after organization.
Col George Stone. Of California. Presi-
dent of the League. will preside at the
opening session. An address will be de-
livered by Senator G. X. Davis and then
will come Governor Roosevelt. The candi-
dates for the league presidency already in
the field are Isaac Miller Hamilton, Illi-
nois Isadore Sobel. Pennsylvania, and W.
c. Boyd, Maryland. Hamilton has the
strongest support. For secretary ID. II.
Slime. Kentucky, and l.. ". Mott, New
York, are candidates. with Slime in the
lead.
The proposed revision of the league con-
stitution may provoke a lively discussion.
One section OF the constitution prohibits
the league from declaring in favor Of any
candidate for office in advance Of his nomi-
nation by a Republican convention. The
Republican League is declared by the con-
stituton to be purely auxiliary to the regu-
lar party organizations and it is not sup
posed to have anything to say in naming
candidates. There is strong opposition to
this provision OF the constitution and an
effort will be made to have it eliminated.
Chicago is not in the field for the next
convention. the Illinois delegation Of 1898
centring its strength on the election Of
Hamilton to the presidency. st. Louis
and Cincinnati are candidates for the con-
vention of 1902.

The Chinese Minister is quoted as ex-
pressing 4 strong belief that the Taotai
Sheng at Shanghai could not have known
OF thc ?ekin massacre at the time he sug-
sested to the Consuls that arrangements
should be made with the imperial authori-
ties for the escort of the Ministers to the
coast. Shengs proposition was made about
July 10. For three days previously the
Chinese in that city and in Chefoo had
been whispering a story of the butchery,
which agreed in all important particulars
with the report Of the torture and muir
der OF the Russian Minister and Nine. de
Giers, and with the narrative of the over
throw of the legations and the killing
of the foreigners. given out by Sheng him
self two days ago. All the evidence points
to the conclusion that the massacre oc-
Cured on June 80 or July 1, and that
Sheng knew all about it by July or T.

NEW ORLEANS. July 1S.-Today was
the day fixed for the settlement of the
question whether Sanford jacob. charged
with crimina, assault in Montgomery, Ala.
should be surrendered to the Alabama au-
thorities on the requlsition of Governor
Johnston. The Alabama people have been
trying for nearly month to get jacob,
but the Louisiana authorities have he d
back on the ground that jacob would BE-
lynched II taken to the neighborlng Stat.
The relations between the two executives
have been somewhat strained in corse-
quence of the refusal of Governor Hea:
to honor the requisition OF Governor John
ston.
Today Louisiana was compelled to decide
whether IL would refuse to honor re-
QUESTION from Alabama or turn Jacob over
to the Alabama authorities. There seemed
to be every reason to believes that 1t wou d
Yield, for Governor Johnston had promised
that jacob would be protected from any
mob that attempted to release hin. Ja-
cobi's friends, however, seeing the prota-
bil;ty OF his surrender interviewed again
for delay.
A writ OF habeas corpus wes filed In
the United States Circuit Court today in
which Emil jacob, of Montgomery. father
OF the prisoner, represents that he is likely
to be Iynched by bloodthirsty mob COM
posed of hot-headed. incorporate, and DE-
termined men. who have organized ard
bent on wrealling vengeance on him. The
writ of habeas corpus is made returnable
July 81. so that jacob is safe until then.
jacob announces his willingness to 30
back to Alabama to stand trial. but IS
afraid to do 50 until public opinion there
has cooled down somewhat.

YOUNG AMERICANS ARRESTED
Accused of Creating "a Disturhn nee
Nenr ShcrbrOolsc, Quebec.

MONTREAL, July 1G.-There is consid-
| cradle excitement in Sherbrooke. Quebec.
over the arrest OF n son OF General Breck-
inridge, OF the United States War De-
| partment. and a companion named Burg
land. of Baltimore. The young men, who
are spending the summer near Sherbrooke,
were arrested last week for creating a
disturbance. and were fined by the magis-
trate the following day.
The chief of police was summoned to ths
Office OF the United States Consul ard
Of the other. The latter requested an ex-
PLANTATION Of the arrest of her son. stating
that she had understood that her son had
asked for the United States Consul when
the arrest was made and this had been de-
MED him. The chief informed the mother
that this was not the case. but that the
Young man had been dealt with as with the
cases of all disturbers OF the peace in
Sherbrooke.
BY this time communications had been
opened by the Interested parties and mes
sages were flashed from Washington to
Ottawa. The first message was received
by Mayor Bellanger from General Brock
inridxe. who in the mean time had COM
municated with the authorities and also
with Lord Pauncefote, British Minister.
Lord Mimic, Governor General. was also
made aware OF the matter and laid the
affair before Premier Laurier. who gave
the matter his personal attention. The
affair is not yet settled to the satisfaction
of all concerned.

from? Not from the Philippines. because
our latest advices from the archipelago
represent that Macarthur will need a
hundred thousand instead of sixty thou
sand, soldiers to hold his own against the
rebels. The garrison of Cuba cannot be
too greatly depleted. or the people there
might rise against the Hanna caTpetbag
Imperialism. Only Congress can author
ize the necessary increase in the strength
Of the army, and vote the money requisite
for such war in China as it is plain We
shall be obliged to wage.
1t is to be hoped. therefore. then that
Mr.. Mckinley will Immediately abandon
his front porch and. returning to his post
of duty, call Congress in extraordinary
session. We are aware that this is hot
summer, and that it is unusually hot in
Washington, but duty TO the country and
to humanity is not to be measured by &C.
centricities of temperature. 1t was very
hot in fekin when our countrymen were

1t is plain that both Mckinley and Roosevelt

TO which their fellow citizens raised them. the
performance of which Is incompatible, with their

speeches. Mckinley is President OF the whole Of

Roosevelt is Governor OF the whole Of New York

his proper station to help the Republicans Or to
help any political section OF the population. he
is guilty OF erievous injustice toward all the rest

TARIFF ON LINEN GOODS.
Colonel Bliss Charged With Par
tinlity to American Merchants.

tinhty to American Merchants.
| HAVANA, July 16.-The local paper!
| have complained of the change made ii
the tariff on linen goods which, they de-
clare has been raised 30 per cent in order
| to give the advantage to American cottor
goods. Colonel Bliss, Collector of Gus
| toms, says mat the change was made
in order to put a fair tariff on linen ac-
cording to the number Of threads per
square millimetre. linen goods hitherto
| having enjoyed an unfair advantage.
The customs department has also been
largely defrauded by cotton goods being
imported as linen, owing 10 the advantage
enjoyed by the latter. Colonel Bliss fur
Their says that instead OF favoring Ameri-
can goods he has steadfastly refused to
do so. He has often been approached by
American merchants who desired him to
change the tariff in order to suit existing
stocks held by the merchants, who were
not willing to make goods at this season
Of such quality as would pass through the
custom house at a lower rate.
Colonel Bliss, however, claims that the
merchants should make their goods ac-
cording to the tariff. and that the latter
should not be adjusted to suit the stocks
held by the merchants and manufacturers.
Colonel Bliss declares that the great
trouble here has been that the merchants
want ad vaiorem duties, which. however.
would be very expensive for Cuba, owing
to the necessity OF keeping agents in
many foreign countries.
Mr.. Miller, manager of the Fidelity De-
post Company, has notified Mr.. Fosnes,
Director Of Posts, that unless the salaries
of the postofice employees are paid within
forty-eisht hours they could not be held
responsible under the bonds it had issued
guaranteeing the employees to the extent
Of about $500, 900. Mr. Miller said that he
accused none of the employees Of dishol-
esty, but they had to live, and il they
were not paid they might be tempted to
steal
Before General Wood sailed Saturday he
made arrangements to have paid imme-
diately those employees salaries which had
been withheld pending the investigations.
owing to the Nicely scandal.
Mr.. Ladd and the assistant cashier OF
the North American Trust Company will
leave tonight on the transport Mcclellan
in order to give evidence in the Nicely
case. The Washington authorities have
