Kruger and steyn out-General the
British Premier.

NEW YORK. March lL-The Journal
and Advertiser says:
Presidents Kruger and Steyn have
apparently made shrewd diplomatic
move, for il cannot be supposed that
they expected Lord Salisbury to con-
sent to peace on any such terms as
those they proposed. They have, how
ever. obtained from the British premier
a tangible statement OF the intentions
Of England and her determination to
take from the two republics their inde-
pendence
This gives them something on which
they may appeal TO the powers, asking
if the latter will stand by and see them
crushed and turned into integral parts
Of the British empire.
The strengthening OF England's fleet
IN Chinese waters is part Of her an
swer TO the peace proposition OF the
Boer republics.
Lord Salisbury realizes that Eng
lands enemies have never had SO good
an excuse Tor making trouble for her
as they have now. Should the Boer
presidents appeal 10 the powers against
the premier's ultimatum and ask them
to interfere to prevent the political an
initiation Of the republics, the oppor-
tunlty or Russia and France would
have come. a.
These powers would, very likely, noti-
fy England that they would not con-
sent to the taking away OF the Beers
independence. and that would mean
war. For England would allow no such
interference in what she regards as he.
private affairs. Russia and France
have important interests in China--the
one on the north and the other on the
south. And Russia has been unwont-
edly aggressive of late. Hence the dis
patch OF two such powerful warships
as the Terrible and the Argonaut to |
reinforce the Chinese squadron already |
stronger than that of any other power
In Pacific waters.
) What may have a direct bearing on |
this phase OF the situation Is the de- |
termination Of our own government in
Washington to dispatch a fleet under
Rear-Admiral Kempff to Chinese wa
ters. The ostensible reason for this is
the protection of American interests. /
but Eng!and's enemies who have been !
jealously watching the growing friend
ship between Washington and London
win certainly regard it as demonstra-
tion fayorably to Great Britain.

THE RACE PROBLEM.
Leading Southern Educators in Con-
ference at New York.

NEW YORK. March 14.-Diffcultiei
of the race problem Of the South which
are hardly realized by the people of thi.
section of the country were set forth
by Rev. Edgar Gardner Murphy Of
Montgomery, Ala. at the annual meet.
ing Of the Armstrong association last
night. among the most interested lis.
teners was Professor Booker T. Wash
ington of the Tuskegee Institute.
William j. Schieffelin. the president
Of the association. reported great prog
ress IN the work done at the Hampton
Institute. which was founded by Gen
eral Armstrong, and said that gradu-
ates were now competent to uplift their
fellows. others Of their own race, in
stead Of being out into the world mere.
ly as skilled mechanics, as they did A
few years ago. This was due. he said
to improved instruction, which had
added more than $4,000 a year to the
salary Of the institution.
The bad Southerner, the poor white
trash" he said, complain that they
cannot get work owing to the compe-
tition Of educated colored men and
man is running for governor on a ticket
calling for the abolition of these
schools
Mr.. Ogden introduced Mr.. Murphy,
who said in part:
1T gives me great pleacure to talk to
the representatives of the Armstrong
association for the reason that upon
the platform Of helpfuiness in relation
to the problem of education Of the col
ored man, the North and the South are
united. North and South agree that
the chief problem before the negro to-
day is his practical efficiency in rela-
tion to his actual opportunities. North.
ern interference is resented, for there
is better feeling in the South, not only
because of the reconstruction policy.
but because the white master feels that
the negro was the instrument of his
humiliation"
Mr.. Murphy objected to President
Schieffelin's remarks about the white
trash" and said that the poor whites
of the South had much to complain of.
He feels" he said, that every dollar
going to the negro is a dollar taken
from the educational opportunities of
his own children"
Mr. Murphy advised the northern
people to invest in philantrophic under
takings in the South.
Professor Washington said:
we have emphatically heard the
voice Of the politicians, but with this
We hear the voice we have
much need of-the voice Of the highly
educated people of the South"
Other speakers were r. Fulton Cut
ting, George Foster Peabody, and Silas
MoBee. Reports showed a membership
of 800 and a prosperous financial condi-
ton.
In closing the meeting, Mr.. schieffelin
said that for the first time the appro-
priation for the Indian teaching at
Hampton was cut off on the ground
that it was a secterian institution. A
motion was adopted authorizing the
officers to write letters to senators wh)
now have the bill in nand to have the
restored.

PLOT TO KILL FORTY MINERS.
Attempt at Whipsaw Camp in Arizona
Which Nearly Proved Successful.

CHICAGO, March IA special to the
Record from Phoenix, Arizona, says:
Advices from Whipsaw mining camp,
sixty miles from here, say that plot
to blow up forty men there on Sunday
was almost successful. The men were
sitting around the tables in The mess
room, when one of the miners who was
about to enter the room discovered the
burning fuse, which he removed But
for this discovery, in two minutes the
sparks would have reached a charge Of
giant powder sufficiently to blow into
atoms the messhouse and all its occu-
pants.
A miner who recently came into camp
and of whom little is known, except
that he is eccentric, is suspected of
planning the destruction Of the work
ingmen. He disappeared shortly before
the dinner hour. A party Of miners
secured the halls in a futile attempt to
locate the missing man. The authori-
ties have been notified.
