Bishop Grant and the Negro.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 10.-Bishop A.
Grant, Of the American Methodist Epis-
copal church, referring to the remarks
credited to him while at conference at
Oxford, o., in which he Is quoted as
saying among other things that "the
negroes were considering the question
whether they would allow the white
man to remain in this country or not"
said today:
THAT such an Interpretation should
be placed on my remarks at Oxford is
truly surprising. What I said and the
thought meant to convey was that the
American negro was the biggest negro
in the world today, and there was no use
in him standing around and asking
what the white man was going to do
with him, but he should ask the ques-
tion, What are we going to do with
ourselves?' that we had reached the
place after being here nearly 300 years
where we had as much right to consider
what we should do with the white man
as he had to consider what he would do
with us. The fact is that I took the
optimistic view of our future in the
United States"

that the Democrats of Ohio will make
a most satisfactory showing at the COM
Ing election. We are a united party In
Ohio, which is something the Republl-

Col. Kilbourne would not speak of

"Kill Them on Sight"

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 9.-(Chicago Re-
cord special.)-A member of Colonel
Gardeners regiment-the 30th-now on
duty in the Philippines, writes as fol-
lows to Detroit relative from Lucban,
Luzon, under date Of July 3:
1--WE are having a hot time over in
this country. The 'niggers' are getting
gay and would not pay their taxes, so
at the point of the gun we made them
shut up shop and not open to sell thing
to either native or soldiers. They made
big kick, but it did them no good
and then what insurgents there were in
town wearing amigo friend) clothes
posted up sign, written in Tagalog,
that any one paying taxes to the
American dogs would be killed. We
expect scrap in town at any time, but
1t does not cut any ice with us. We've
got lots Of ammunition and can make II
hot enough for them. Our orders are to
kill and shoot every one at sight, men,
women or children. Everything goes.
At little scrap we had at Mayjay jay
with the 'niggers there were thirty nine
rebels killed and we did not get a man
hit. There Is an American out of the
37th, who was prisoner of the 'niggers,
who was leading them, and some of the
37th's detachment saw him. 1t will go
hard with the traitor II we get him, as
1t Is ordered to shoot him on sight We
take prisoners no more. 1t is too much
trouble to guard them"

Sn great has the attendance been at
times, this season, that the extreme ca
pacity of the big main building has
been tested more than once, and as the
disposition of the public seems to Le
to continue to come in increased num-
bers, II is apparent that the time for
enlargement is at hand. 1t is probable
that new music hall, with a largely in
creased seating capacity will be built
adjoining the present main building.
The Galveston food pictures have at
tracted much interest and will be con-
tinued until the close OF the season.
The cinematograph, in which they are
given, is also presenting many fascinat-
ing representations OF historical events,
comic scenes and character pictures.
The Mexican Village, with its mani
fold attractions and strange native food
products, OF which samples are freely
distributed to visitors, continues to at
tract many who get their introduction to
hot tamales, inchlilas and other Mexi-
can delicacies.
The mechanical novelties are always
surrounded with interested throngs. The
wonderful machine for making screws,
the silk mill. the windmills and similar
ingenious results OF the skill of indus
trial experts are in operation at all
times. The linotype machine comes in
for a big share OF attention, too, and
all visitors who SO desire, can get, with
out charge. stencils Of their names
made on it.
No less attractive have the Swiss Vii
lage, the crystal maze, Jim Key, the
wonderful educated horse, and other
special attractions, proved, while the
mercantile exhibits have excited the in
terest and admiration OF all In no
year OF the Exposition's history have
the great retail houses OF Pittsburg
spent so much money on elaborate ex-
hibits, and their showing is the equal OF
any that has ever been made anywhere.
One of the most popular of this years
new features is the excursion system BY
which patrons have the opportunity to
take a pleasant boat ride to Davis Island
Dam. on the magnificent new excur-
sion steamer. Francis J. Torrance. The
trip occupies an hour, and music for
dancing and Punch and Judy show
and other things to interest are pro-
vided. In bad weather, the decks OF
the boat are enclosed in glass, thus
making the ride as thoroughly enjoy
able as on fair days.
