THE NEGRO IN POLITICS
Bryan Sizes Up the Attis1de OF the Re-

Cranston, Mimi. September 2e.-Mr.
Bryan today expored the valley OF the
Red River OF the North, traversing
this rich agricultural section from
Wahpeton to Grafton and turning back
from Grafton 20 Grand Forks, then
started eastward and reached this
place tonight He made nine speeches
again today and several OF them were
more than an hour IN length The
speeches were generally addressed TO
farmers and Mr.. Bryan spoke to them
as a farmer.
While Mr.. Bryan was discussing the
status Of the Fflipinos some one IN the
crowd asked: How about the ne
groes?" 30, T.. .4i5
This question aroused the speaker
the republicans never wanted to dis
cuss the race question except in cam

Of the republican who defends the Sulu

IN the southern states. The republican
party has taken the negro for thirty
years to an office door, and then tied
him on the outside. The negro has be-
slowed presidents on the republican

The Armor plate Question

Washington, September 2S.-There Is
a possibility that the problem in con-
nectiOn with the purchase of armor
plate for big battleships and cruisers
now building may be solved without
re-advertiSing for bids. Under the cur
rent law the secretary of the navy can
contract for armOr at any price he
deems reasonable"
The secretary today had conference
on the subject with the representatives
of the Carnegie and the Bethlehem
Companies at which Senator Penrose,
of Pennsylvania, and Admiral O'Neill,
chief of the bureau of ordnance, were
present. Later, he will meet the rep
resentatives of tn Midvale Company.
Whether the prospect of an adjust
ment of the differences between the
department and the armOr plate COM
panies rests upon the probability of a
scaling down of last summers bids is
not known, but that there is a posi-
bility that bids will not be called for
again was stated today by Secretary
Long himself.

GERMANY ON THE CHINESE SIT
UATION.

GERMANY ON THE CHINESE SIT
UATION.
Berlin, September 29.-Thtf Chinese
situation, particularly Germany's pro-
posal and the United States answer,
monopohzed public attention this week
The press, both semi-official and inde-
pendent, continues to severely blame
President Mckinley for his refusal TO
agree with the proposition Of Germany.
The Cologne Gazette, which since
the outbreak of the China troubles, has
been the favorite mouthpiece, daily, for
the foreign office, this week combatted
the view that Germany had been try
ing to embark the other powers on dan
gerous seas or attempting to obtain the
lead in the Chinese negotiations.
The Lokal AnZeiger, today, argues
that the United States knows, through
Minister Conger, that the Chinese gov
ernment has been the real culprit.
Hence, it adds, it is ridiculous to ex-
pect this same government to punish
itself-"aS the United States pretends
to believe in its reply to Germany
REWARD FOR TUAN'S CAPTURE.
The papers express the hope that
Field Marshal Count Won Waldersee
will issue a decree offering a large re-
ward for Prince Tuan, dead or alive,
as the only means of impressing upon
the Chinese mind the fact that the
powers are in earnest.
The strong evidence that Russia has
seized the opportunity to formally an
mex part of Manchuria and the state
ment Of a correspondent of the Berlin
Tageblatt in Urga, Mongolia, that Rus
sia already treats Mongolia as her own,
are here treated with marked indiffer-
ence. This is only in line with the for
NAL declaration which a foreign office
official made to representative of the
Associated Press months ago, that Ger
many in no way objected to Russia g
obtaining control of northern China,
as German interests would not be af-
fected thereby.
