FIGHTING STANLEY.
Negro officers of Twenty Third Kan
sas Open the Battle.

The Democratic state central committee
is backing the publication of the new negro
under the control of ]. NJ Beck who was
colonel of the T,wenty-third Kansas.
Major John NJ Brown is one of the in
terested parties in this enterprise. The
new papers mission will be along the
from I.eavenworth, printed in the Kansas
City Times today:
John M Brown, late of the Txentv Nti1iTd
Kansas volunteers, has declared war
enlisting every member of his old regi-
ment for the fight with excellent prospects
OF success Major Brown charges that
STANLEY treated the negro soldiers not
only with great disrespect, but with an
untalrness that forces every officer and
man who served in the Twenty-third Kan
sas TO draw his sword and do battle for
1T is claimed that Stanley refused to
promote a single enlisted man in the two
battahons, because of the near approach
or the date set for their muster out. while
on the other hand he commissioned every
enlisted man in the Twentieth Kansas
recommended by its colonel within a few
days of its muster out of service Time
and again were recommendations sent to
him for the appointment of worthy SOL
diers and they were as often turned down
Also the desire of Lieutenant Colonel
Beck to have these men appropriately re-
warded by having them mustered out of
the army s commissioned officer but
quests
Outside of the Twentieth Kansas the
negro battalions were the only volunteers
of the state who performed service on thm
islands. It was generally understood that
General Leonard Wood praised the Tween
ty-third Kansas for its soldierly conduct
and efficient service rendered in the de-
partment of Santiago, and, according to
Major Brown, they were permitted to re-
turn to Kansas without any recognition
from Stanley or other state officials. The
men were chartered for several weeks
at Fort Leavenworth, but Stanley never
found it convenient to come down here
and welcome the men, though he travelled
at the expense of the state all the way to
California TO meet the Twentieth Kansas
to show the boys how much he appre-
ciated them.
"A friend of the majors said today that
he is in dead earnest and looks for quite
a revolt among the negroes against STAN
ley. 1t is certain that many negroes here
will cast their votes for Breidenthal, in
the event of his nomination.

MAY STRIKE AGAIN.
st. Louis Street Car Men Are Consid-
ering the Matter.


ST, Louis, July 1.-TWO thousand five
hundred members of the Amalgamated
Association of Street Railway Employees
of America met in the West End Coli
scum today to discuss the advisability
of resuming the strike on the lines of
the ST Louis Transit company, recently
declared off after two months duration.
Chairman Edwards of the grievance
committee, read the correspondence be-
tween the company and the committee
regarding violations of the agreement
charged.
He presented a list of specific cases
in which the committee alleged that the
company had violated the agreement of
July q by employing new men since that
time. Harry A. Bryan, national organ
izer of the order, said:
by the manner in which the street
railway officials have broken their
agreement it is patent that their words
are unworthy of belief. 1t is for you to
say if you want to declare it on again. y
Finally after some time had been
spent by the men listening to speeches,
a motion was made to declare the strike
on again. Before the motion could be
put, however, Chairman Edwards was
called out of the meeting and J. p. Will
son forced his way to the platform and
spoke. He said that after reading the
company's statement Monday morning
he went to some of the heavy Transit
stockholders and asked them what the
company intended to do. He declared
IDdI some OIL THESE STOCKHOLDERS asked
President Whitaker over the telephone
what the company's intentions were and
were told that he (Mr. Whitaker) was
preparing a letter to the men at the
time. The stockholders asked Wilson.
he says, to go to the men and tell them
not to be rash; to wait the letter from
Mr. Whitaker.
This Mr.. Wilson did and the meeting
was so impressed by his remarks that it
decided to do as he suggested.
At l o'clock a recess was taken to
await the arrival of the letter.
Shortly after 1 o'clock a letter from
President Edward S. Whitaker of the
Transit company, was sent to the mem
bers of the Street Railway union, set
ting forth how the company proposed to
carry out its agreement entered into
July 2.
The letter stated the position of the
company in regard to the agreement
and the method which the company is
using in reinstating the men,
It further says that number of the
men have already been reinstated. and
that others will be as rapidly as posi-
BILE. The letter denies that the company
has broken its agreement with the men.
or has any intention of doing so, and
says the company proposes to keep alb
Solute faith.

Best Shots Are Away.

London, July 9.-The prospects for the
annual meeting of the National Rifle
association at Bisley, which opened this
morning with fine weather, are not of
the brightest. The absence in South
Africa of many of the keenest shots.
together with the vexatious rules forced
on the competitors by the council of the
National Rifle association, have COM
bined to make a diminution in the
numbers amounting to nearly 80 per
cent. Canada is the only British de-
tendency any way well represented.

New York July 9.-Wall street showed
near the end of last week that so far as
the Chinese situation is concerned, its in

provincial indifference to the great doings

stilI, burning their powder in useless
strife among themselves. and are ac-
eomplishing nothing towards the con-
version Of the Negro to the principles
Of democsacy. And it is to be observed
that Col. Bryan bss not. as yet, said
anything about the wholesale disfran-
ohisement of the colored man at the
South. And he isn't likely to, not this
fall.
1 should like to congratulate my
old friend John Edward Bruce, more
tamiliarly known as "Bruce Crit" on
his assignment to make thunder for
the spell binders Of the republican
party. That he has been doing this
quite effectually will be testified to by
hundreds of the readers Of The Oolored
American hereabonts. who have taken
a new grip on the G.. o. P, since they
have felt the force of the keen and con.
via cling arguments Of the distinguished
citizen of New York.
Great sympathy has been expressed
for Mrs. Maud Quincy MoKlcley, wife
of DR.. J. Frank Mckinley, who suffer.
ed the loss OF four Of her imm ediste
relatives in the Galveston disaster.
Mrs. Mckinley Is the daughter of the
late n. Wright Cuney. Perhaps the
saddest aspect Of her bereavement is
that the bodies of her relatives were
lost, and there are no means of giving
them a known resting place. Two
uncles OF Mrs. Mckinley were severely
injured, but were fortunate enough to
survive the fearful experience.
Last week the Board Of County Com
missioners of Cook county, elected the
Honorable Edward b. Wright, the only
colored member, president ofthe Board
in the abaence in Europe of the presi-
dent, Mr.. Irwin This ia the first time
a eolored man has been honored in this
way, and 1t bespeaks the high regard
and esteem in which Mr.. Wright is
held by his fellow Commissioners. Mr..
Wright's name is now necessary on the
Cook county pay roll, which amounts
to something like $40, 900 per month.
