man who proposed to lead an army of
negroes to the south for the purpose of

the New Orleans negro murderer, is re-
ceiving letters from all parts Of the
country. Some are in approval Of his
course and others criticiSe him severely.
The doctor has also been flooded with
requests for his personal history and de-
tails Of the organization of which he is
the head. One letter from n. J. Nor
rison, president of the Fairmount col
lege of Wichita, Kan, tells Dr. Dozier
that he, the doctor ought to go TO China
and join the Boxers.
In reply to this particular letter, DR..
Dozier said in part:

also loyal to our race, and that I regard
disloyalty to the race as the highest

At this few rose and went out, but

STOCKS ARE NOT AFFECTED,
Southern Pacific Barely Disturbed by
the Death OF Huntington.

New YORK, Aug. 14.-Mr. Hunting
tons death had little effect on the gen.
eral stock market. Even his own stocks,
chief among which was Southern Pa
cific, wcrc hardly disturbed. Some large
lots of Southern Pacific came out in the
initial transactions, but they wcro
promptly taken by banking interests
known to represent the late millionaire,
and as result the price of Southern
Pacific soon rallied.
\ meeting of the Southern Pacific in
tcrcSt' and certain banking interests
was held early today. The Southern
Pacific road and other corporations all
carry large deposits in this city and are
frequently III the money market. 1t
seems to be the opinion of the bankers
at this mornings conference that no ap-
prchtnSion need be felt because Wall
street estimates the fortune of Mr.. Hunt
ington at from 0,00O, 900 to S5O, ,O00, 900.
