OPPOSES BISHOP TURNER.
Booker Washington Is Against En-
igration of His Racs.

Macon, Ca, Jan. 2.-Booker T. Wash
ington spoke on Emancipation today, op-
posing the emigration schemes of Bishop
Turn r. In part he said:
The north does not contain all the
good white people, nor are they any bet
ter friends to the negro than can be found
in the south For every negro that is
sent to Liberia, a negro baby is born in
the cotton belt. so that scheme is a fall
ure. AS we came to this country at the
urgent solicitation and expense of the
white man, we would be ungrateful to
runa away and leave him now and we are
not going to do it. 1 was asked the 9TH
er day in New York what the negro can
do to get his. rights. I answered make
himself useful His citizenship will be
recognized and valued in proportion in
which he is worthy. Industrial education
is the key to the situation. The negro
must keep pace with progressive civiliza-
ton.
THE negroes must have education and
thrift. They must know how to apply
their education. We have enough minis
ters and professional men for the pres
emit
A large number of white men were in
the audience.

MUST WAIT SIX MONTHS.
Swiss Arbitrators In No Hurry to
Make Their Award.

New York, Jan. "A special to the
Herald from Washington, says:
Official information received at the
state department from Berne, SWitzer-
land, indicates that the award of the
Swiss arbitrational tribunal in the
claims against Portugal, arising out of
the seizure of Delagoa bay railroad,
will not be determined for six months
or a year.
In view of the announcement made by
the tribunal several months ago that it
expected to render its award during the
fall, the authorities had anticipated
that the matter might be settled any
day. The delay attending the award,
it is said in official circles, has no refer
ence whatever to the African war.
Besides attending to his duties as a.
member of the arbitration tribunal
each of the Swiss jurists is engaged with
his private practice and certain public
offices. The member of the tribunal who
has been designated as the reporter
to draw up the award of the tribunal is
very busy with private and public mat
ters, and has been unable to complete
the report. The war in South Africa
may hasten rather than retard the de-
livery of the award.
Even should the Portuguese territory
in South Africa have been transferred
to the British government after the sub
mission of the award, it is said, in Off
cial circles that Portugal would still be
liable for the amount Of the claim. Once
the award is made no difficulty is ex-
pected in collecting the amount due to
the claimants.

TO BREAK HEMP CORNER.
Secretary Root Cables Instructions to
Otis.

New York, Jan. "A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Root has taken measures to
break the corner in hemp. AS a result
of discussing the matter with the pres
ident he has cabled this instruction to
Major General Otis: Apparently spec
ulative corner in hemp here. Is rails
ing prices, to great injury legitimate
consumers. Desirable to get south hemp
ports open as soon as possible
This instruction is due to the protests
made by prominent cOrdage manufac-
turers and by farmers, calling attention
TO the fact that the opening Of ports N
Northern Luzon today would afford no
relief to the hemp situation and earn
estly requesting that southern ports be
garrisoned and opened to the trade.
The important hemp ports of the
Philippines are CalbayOg, Lagranja,
Paranas, Surigao, Barugo, Taclobam,
Baybay, Legaspi, TabacO, Sorsogano,
Gubat and Malitbog. Cordage manufac-
turers are anxious the ports shall be
opened. In a letter written by Mr..
Meixeljohn, assistant secretary of war;
the writer said that if the hemp now at
the several ports Of the Philippines
were exported, it would be Immediately
dispatched to this country by steam
ships at low rates of freight and be
manufactured into binder Irvine in SUI

SETTLEMENT LIKELY.
Grievances of Santa Fe Trainmen Will
Probably Not Result In Trouble.

General Manager Nudge of the Santa,
Fs left Topeka for Chicago Monday az
ternoon to again be a party to the meet
ing Of the executive officials OF the road
and the grievance committee of the Or
der OF Railway Conductors and Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen. The con-
ference was resumed today.
It is expected that a settlement will
be arrived at before the end of the pres
ent week. Last week the trainmen
made the same demands in Chicago
that they did to Mr.. Nudge in Topeka,
and the officials told them what they
were willing to grant. A happy med
jun in many instances viii probably be
reached this week. The Santa F'e Off
Gals refuse to grant a general increase
but in particular cases are willing to
advance wages. Although some threat
ening talk was INDUCED in while the
committee members were in Topeka
the committees will probably not insist
on a general advance.

Has pr. Petera Found ophirp

Dr. Carl Peters in a letter dated UNI
tall, October 10, announces that during
the rainy season, when practically no
prospecting work was possible, he in-'
tended to come to England He adds:
Il expect to arrive about the middle of
December, accompanied by Umtete the
brother of the famous chief Macomba
am leaving my staff out here. One
mining engineer and a trader are left
at the Fura station near the Zambesi.
and also at the Inyanga station near
UmtaH / have evidence that can prove
we have really discovered the Fura OF
the ola reports. " In explanation of
this statement, Reuters Agency is in
formed that DR.. Carl Peters expedition
was mainly based on an old atlas pub
nShed in Amsterdam in 17O5 with
French text, the author of which is I'M
known. In this atlas it was stated that
near the place (sOuth of the Zambesi
and near the River Manzoro now Ma
zoe) is the great mountain of Fura. rich
IN gold, which some people regard as a
corruption of the word Ophir." This
view was also held by the Portuguese
writer CoutO, who was quoted by Theo-
dOre Bent in his Ruined Cities of Ma
shonaland." With regard to Fura
COuto said: 1.-THE richest mines of all
are those of MaSSapa, from which the
Queen of Sheba took the greater part of
the gold which she went to offer to the
Temple of Solomon, and it is Ophir for
the kafiirs call it Fur and the Mons
Afur. DR.. Peters states that no trav-
eler has visited this region within the
last 200 years. He has now rediscovered
ancient ruins of Semitic origin, includ-
ing Notifications and what he regarded
as temple or storehouse. The whole
region is practically uninhabited. He
also claims to have found distinct ira
ces of ancient gold working there.
