WARNING TO COLORED VOTERS.
From the Daily RepnbIicnn.

The colorcd voters should not forget
that this election he is voting in Dela-
ware for the one express purpose of en-
joying his franchise in this State. 1t
means this to the colored voter, that if
the Democrats win he will he denied the
right to vote and will he placed where he
was before the war. 1t remains to be
seen how many of the colorcd voters
care what privileges they enjoy and
whether the privilege of enjoying the
right Of suffrage is one Of them. 1t is
rumored about that great many coored
voters will vote the Democratic ticket
this fall. We do not believe it of them,
as they have everything to gain by vot-
ing the Republican ticket and everything
to lose by voting the Democratic ticket.

RoosEvELr's MANLY LETTER.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The letter in which Governor Roose-
yelt formally accepts the Republican
nomination to the Vice Presidency is
eminently characteristic of its writer. 1t
is clear, frank, courageous and aggres-
siye. 1t leaves no room for doubt either
as to its writer's meaning or as to the
spirit in which he intends to conduct the
contest in which he is engaged.
There has been some adverse comment
upon the absolute and uncompromising
character of the opinions which Cover
nor Roosevelt expresses, but unless we
are much mistaken that will be regarded
by the American people rather as a mer-
it than as defect. If there is one thing
more than another which the people of
this country are disposed to admire it is
the courage of the man who, having
strong convictions. is not afraid to eX-
press them with the utmost yigOr at his
command. and to assume that their
adoption and enforcement are of import
ance to his FELLOW countrymen.
Governor Roosevelt does Just that.
His letter is not explanatory. it is not de-
fensiye, it is not apologctc, it is free
from any trace of confession and avoid
ance. 1t is straight to the point and
straight from the shoulder all the time.
Its writer thinks that the adoption of
the free silver policy with which Mr..
Bryan is identified and which. in spite
of anything that he or his followers can
say. is the principal issue before the
American people, would be nothing less
than Il national disaster. and he does not
hesitate to say as much, in language too
clear to admit of any mistake. His COM
ments upon this subject should beheeded
by every voter who feels that he does
not fully appreciate the Importance of
the interests which are herein involved.
Those interests have seldom been more
impressively described than they are in
Governor Roosevelt's unadorned but
virile periods. He says nothing more
than reason teaches and experience justi-
fies. But what he says is so striking
it bears the impress of such strong
and unmistakable sincerity. that it can
not fail to carry, if not conviction. nj
least uneasiness with it to every recep.
tive mind. If only on account Of the
free silver issue the election of Bryan
would he a national catastrophe. That
is what Governor Roosevelt says, and ne
one will question taht he means every
word of it,
His comments on the issue arising out
of the situation in the Philippines arc
not less notable and uncompromising

Great Northern depot early yesterday
morning which came UP for investigation
before Judge Cam yesterday afternoon.
The trial resulted in the discharge Of the
woman and mild rebuke to the arrest

The testimony in the case was that the
woman was accosted by officer Chapman,
who asked her her business on the street.
She became indignant, and Philbrick
claims she was swearing as she walked
over to where he stood. He asked her
what was the matter, he says, and she
answered by striking him in the face He
then arrested her He claimed he used
no more force than was necessary He
was corroborated by two policemen.
The woman swore that Phibrick was
drunk; that he struck her first, and that
when she resisted, he threw her down
and beat her head against the depot plat,
a badly bruised face and cut lip.
Judge, Cam discharged her. saying that
she had evidently been brutally assaulted

HEAVY CUSTOMS RECEIPTS.
Business Of This Port Greatly In
creased-Nearly 800, 900 Col
lected In six Months.

The port of Seattle closed the last half OF
the year 1899 with a record-breaking GUS
toms house business. For the six months
which constitute the first half OF the fiscal
year 1S99-l900 the receipts were in round
numbers 100000 as against 81. 40765 for the
corresponding period Of 1893. The exact
ngures Tor the past six months are not yet
Ct hand. Had the clerical force Of the
omce BEEN able to clean up all Of Satur-
days business on that day the receipts
would have footed up more than $10O,O0O
II the Seattle customs house maintains
the gains It has made, which now seems
certain, the collector of customs for this
isse-lsoo, $4,000, an increase Of about
$4,000 for the year. The receipts of the
fiscal year 1859 were 1871, 0S2.63. For 1878
they were $83.257.S5 Thus 1t will be seen
that the receipts OF the first half of the
fiscal year 1SSS-1900 were more than the
entire year Of 1878.
Money has been pouring into the GUS
toms house for the past ten days in the
shape Of duties on foreign goods consign-
ed to local merchants by the Nippon Yusen
Kaisha liner Idzumi Maru

Nearly Half . Million Tons Sent Out
OF Seattle During 1890.


Every industry in Seattle IL showing
large percentages Of gain when 1899 Is COM
pared with 1883. and the same gratifying
showing Is made In statement OF the
local coal shipments. In this important
branch OF the commerce OF Puget sound
there has been healthy development, not
even the extra demands Of 1898 being suf-
ficient to keep. 1t ahead Of the following
shipments amounted to 10000 tons, or
percentage Of gain over 1888 was almost Is
per cent
The outlook is that 1900 will be a still
greater year in this industry, as new fields
are being opened, and 1t Is believed tnat
before the close of the year the bunkers
of the Seattle & San Francisco Railway &
Navigation Company will be established
and adding their large shipments to those
of the Pacific Coast and Issaquah Coal
Companies bunkers. If this new company
Is doing business before 1901, 1t will give
an impetus to the business that will be
shown In largely augmented percentages
at the time OF making the next annual re-
port.
There has been much fiuctuating in the
monthly comparisons Of the last two years,
in February, the month of maximum gain,
the increase being 65 per cent, and in Oc-
tober there being decrease of 10 per cent.
The average growth OF the business was,
however. sufficient to give an expansion
in the totals.
The following table shows the shipments
in tons of the months Of the last two
years, with the gain and percentage of
gain of 1893 over 1888:

During the past ten days great many
Eastern railroad passenger agents have
been on the Coast with the announced
purpose of looking after business" The
real reason for their coming is, however.
that every railroad In the East from New
York to st. Paul. large and small lines
alike has been looking over the Coast
situation as regards railroad rates with a
view to being in position to secure at
least fair share of the Alaska business
coming this way within the next few
months.
There never was a time, 1t is stated by
those in position to know the facts, when
the hope Of maintenance OF passenger rates
hung by such a slender thread The gen.
eral belief Is that before thirty days there
w r. s East 9oas points Of
Arthur b. Watts, Of the Lehigh Valleys
passenger department, who was in the city
yesterday in speaking of the matter said:
1.-THE East Is on the verge OF q rate
war, the like Of which has rarely been
seen in the history Of the railroad world 1t
win ali be on business bound to Alaska via
San Francisco rates Will be affected.
Every line OF Railroad in the East Is
preparing to handle a share of the busi-
ness, and to secure II the roads are ready
to give any rate that Will warrant a
profit. Already the situation is critical.
On Thursday the Eastern lines will hold a
meeting In New York and five days later
the transcontinental representatives will
meet in Chicago.
"All roads have given up hope Of main
tanning the full tariff and at these meet
ings will simply attempt to form some
kind OF an agreement with the transcon-
tinental lines that will insure profit.
"At the present time rates are being
made In Chicago to Seattle at less tariff
than the second-class fare from New
York to Seattle. The same is true of other
Coast points.
Travel to this city between now and
May Is will exceed that to any other city
In the United States on record, except to
Chicago, during the worlds fair. don't
think 1t Is far wrong when I say Is. 900 peo-
pie, intending to go to Alaska, will come
to Seattle next spring. 1t is this business
that is the disturbing element, even at the
present time.
During the past winter the East has
been flooded with circulars regarding Cape
Nome. Every railroad and steamboat
company doing business with the Pacific
coast has had men at work and has sent
out an abundance Of literature. The result
has been that men of all vocations in life
are preparing to go to Alaska. The first
boats leaving here will undoubtedly be
loaded down and 1t will take many weeks
to load all the persons the railroads are
figuring on sending here within the next
five months"
So far as the rates from this city to
the East are concerned there will probably
be no reduction unless some local disturb
ances should come up unexpectedly. The
expected rush is verified at the local trans
continental Offices where, It is said, every
arrangement Is now being made by all
Puget sound lines to handle a tremendous
rush of gold-seekers bound for the far
western coast of Alaska.
