THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.
Booker II. Washington Declares II
Will Remain While the Consti-
tuition Itself Stands.

Washington, May 23.--Booker r.
Washington, of Tuskegee, Tuesday
night. delivered an address on 1.-THE
Future of the Negro" at the Metro
politan A. M. T.. church. He said:
In these latter days we hear much
Of removing from our fundamental
law the precious magma charta of our
citizenship, the fifteenth amendment.
Whether wisely or unwisely, this guar
antee of our lights was placed in the
constitution by the ripest thought of
the nation at the time it was enacted,
and there, in my mind, at the behest
of the conservative and patriotic opin-
ion of both the north and south, it will
remain while the constitution itself
stands.
what the negro asks is equality of
opportunity. Close the door against
the negro now, and within a few years
the temptation will be to close it
against a class of white men. The min
ute you recognize a law which taxes
a negro for support of government
and deny him the opportunity to make
his wishes felt at the ballot box, that
minute you begin to undermine our
whole theory of government and throw
to the winds the principles for which
the revolutionary war was fought"

London, May 90, 2:O6 p. m.-Once
more Lord Roberts is advancing in
force. The wait at Kroonstad is over,
and already the main British army is
about twenty miles north of its former
resting place, judging from the dis
patches of Lord Roberts at Honings
Spruit station, while fanking him on
either side of the railroad is Gen.
French's cavalry and Gen. Ian Hamil-

which extends for 20 miles due north.
Along the Railroad.
Gen. French probably crossed the
Rhenoster river near the junction with
the Honing Spruit, which runs thence
TO Honing Spruit station. The main
British army will probably advance
along the railroad, while Gen.
French converges from the west, and
Gen. Hamilton from the east. Against
this overwhelming force the Beers
will probably follow their usual tao
tics of retiring to positions, which
doubtless have been prepared in adj

turned in as 500 as it begins to

Postmaster Baumhoff says the mail
cars rave been running regularly
since the federal injunction was is

for the calling out of deputy marshals.

Berlin, May 23.-The reichstag, vot-

by 1863 to 1913 votes.
AS it has passed the reichstag, in adj

the importation of fresh meat shall
only be allowed in whole, or, in Ger.

the importation of prepared meat shall
only be permitted when it is proved to

also provides that, after 1903, the i'm.

Illiteracy in Chicago.

The supervisor of the scool census
reports that there are in Chicago
only 230 persons between 10 and 21
who cannot read and write. As this
is only about two-thirds the number
reported in 1898 the supervisor is in
clined to believe that illiteracy is dis
appearing in that city, in spite Of the
fact that the population is increas-
ing, and that the increase is due in
part to immigration from the more
illiterate sections of Europe.
