Consul General Stowe of the United
States at Cape Town has reported to the
state department. that the seizures Of -four
and provisions on the three vessels, Mash
orn, BeAtriee and Alaria, have been final
ly and satisfactorily settled.
II has been found that the goods were
tine property of heseOnsignees in South
Africa; that the American shippers are
not and can not be losers and that the
seizures will not affect the American
trsde- In the cases where the ccnsignees
refused the bills drawn upon them by the
American shippers, though the latter
might easily have secured payment
through the colonial courts, the British
government has preferred to settle out
right by the payment of the invoice price
of the provisions seized with 10 per cent
added AZ profit.

Congressman Hopkins, one Of our
national leaders, appreciating the ener'

suaded him to accept a lucrative
clsrkship in the Census Bureau, and
bis many friends rejoice at his return

Illinois League Of Republican Clubs,
Mf Hall vas the unanimous choice of
1900 delegates for the position of Assist
ant {. ctetary, and be has the honor of
being The first coloTed man to fill that

Although pleasantly employed in
Inc Census Bureau Mr.. Hall has under
confederation the opportunities Of bis
hlends who desire to see him placed as
chief OF the Afro American Republican
STATE Bureau during the coming cam

L. Hall IS hustler and justly deserves
Sny recognition he may receive from
