FUTURE OF NEGRO.
Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee,
Delivers Address.

Washington, May 23.-Booker 7.
Washington, of Tuskegee last night de-
livered an address on the future of the ne
gro at the Metropolitan A. NJ. 4. church:
he said:
In these latter days we heal much of
removing from our fundamental law, the
precious magma charta of our citizenship,
the fifteenth amendment. Whether
wisely or unwisely, this guarantee of our
rights was placed in the constitution by
the ripest thought of the nation at the
time it was enacted, and there, in my
mind, at the behest of the conservative
and patriotic opinion of both the north
and south it will remain while the consti-
tuition itself stands.
What the negro asks is equality Of OPP
portunity. Close the door against the ne
gro now and within a few years the
temptation will be to close it against a
class of white men. The minute you rec
ognize a law which taxes a negro for
support of government and deny him the
opportunity to make his wishes felt at
the ballot box, that minute you begin to
undermine our whole theory Of govern
ment and throw to the winds the princi-
pies for which the revolutionary war was
fought

BUTTE PEOPLE SAIL.
Earlier Boats Reported to Be Blocked
in the Ice.

Ed. Lynch, John Lynch, Marco J. Medin
Jr., and Milo French of Butte, left Seat
tie Sunday on the Oregon for Cape Nome.
The Oregon had 800 passengers and q
large quantity of freight.
Reports from Boring Sea are to the eff
feet that half a dozen boats which left
San Francisco, Vancouver and other
ports during the past few weeks are
blocked by the ice in Dutch Harbor. Two
of the boats-the Alpha and Pitcairn have
been out for six weeks or more, so that
the late departures will stand as good a
chance of reaching Cape Nome as the
passengers on the early boats.
The chances are that the boats which
left Seattle this week will also be block
ed by ice and it is not probable that any
of the passengers will reach Cape Nome
