long seemed to us the real problem of
the South. The statement in question
says,
IF most OF the debates revolve about
the negro. it is not because we arc sole
ly bent upon his especial welfare. Our
interest is primarily enlisted for the
people OF the South us a whole we arc
concerned in the broadest sense for the
prosperity and happiness of the South
crn country. We shall not forget the
neglected elements OF our white Donu-
lation."
THE neglected elements OF our white
population''-that is the real problem
of the South and one that has been
overlooked too largely. The professional
sympathizers of the North have dis
cussed the negro problem until tho
South has become moro or less morbid
upon that point; 1t has monopolized at
tention while the question of what
should be done to improve the condi-
ton of the more unfortunate Of South
ern whites has been neglected.
Just how much is involved in what
may be termed the problem of the neg
lccted Southern whites will become clear
to any who study the percentages of
ill!teracy in the Southern States. No,
every unlcttered man is an object of
vlcarlous solicitude or care: many OF
them would be quick to resent any
thing of that sort; but the fact remains
that a large part OF the white popula-
ton OF the South. while not exactly a

seldom take place without endanger-

ticularly true in the case of fortitica-

where there is shipping constantly
within range and where private houses
are in such close proximity to the guns
as to be seriously affected by shock.

Washington, Nov. 23.-The annual
report OF the board of ordnance and
lortiiications just made pubic sums up
concisely very large amount of ex-
Perlmentai work accomplished by the
board during the past year. A general
statement of what is needed in the flu
.urc Is contained In the following par
agraph:
The work OF equipping our coast
ordinations is progressing rapidly,
ana Il large portion of the new arma-
ment IS already installed. There is i'm
peratlve need for an adequate force of
trained artilerSts to care for and
man the guns now mounted. The
board, therefore, deems it within its
province to invite the attention of con-
sress to the necessity for reorganiza-
tlon and material increase of the ar
tillery arm of the service.
In this connection, also the board
recommends that steps be taken at an
early date to provide the coast artil-
lery personnel with suitable ranges and
other facilities for carrying out each
year system of practical drill and
target practice with heavy guns under
conditions approXimating those of
actual service.

lenses Is to protect the harbors and
waterways along our coasts, the guns

The Harvard men demanded odds OF
ten to seven. In the hotel lobbies to-

feeling in this city is that the game

Washington, Nov. 23.-The latest mail
from Manila, received at the war de-
partment brings an interesting budget
of news from the islands, some OF which
heretofore has been touched on in
press dispatches, but without any great
amount of detail. The Manila papers
OF October 18th devote considerable
space to Il renewal of the report con-
corning Aguinaldo's death in northern
Luzon. They say that the circumstan-
tial character of the report together
with the fact that General Trias re-
Gently has been signing himself com
mander in chief of the insurgent
forces" lends strong color to the belief
that Aguinaldo may be dead.

greatest alarm is felt for the vast guam

DULUTH, May 2.-Ward Ames, a

turned from an extended trip in China

~ am satisfied that corn can be intro
duced into both China and Japan as q
substitute for rice. I think it can be
laid down there cheaper than they can
produce the rice, judging by present
prices for it in their own markets. A
kettle Of rice, 130 pounds ayoirdupois,
costs go over there. America could
beat that figure considerably in furnish
ing those people with corn. China is
not anxious to develop trade with other
countries, but she does not repel trade
advances. Japan, on the other hand, is
eager for trade expansion with other
nations, and Americans stand better
there than any other nationality.
America is developing big flour trade

through the downtown business streets
of the city over line Of march that ex-
tended for over four miles. From a
raised and beautifully decorated dais in
the grandstand, erected on the jackson

in which nearly 100 different military
and civic organizations from all parts Of
the state participated and which in
cluded veterans of three wars, squad
of sailors who were with the admiral at
the battle Of Manila bay two years ago,

Ablaze With Flags and Bunting,
gathered in festoons or stretched in long
folds from roof to ground while from
numberless flag poles and windows the
national colors futtered in the fresh
breeze, with here and there the dark
blue Of the admiral's flag.
A chorus Of 300 young women
dressed in white and blue were sta
toned on the steps Of the art institute,
grouped to form the letters of Dewey's
name in blue. AS the admiral was
tering handkerchiefs of blue and white,
sang patriotic songs, the admiral smil-
ing and bowling to the singers until his
carriage was far beyond the big build
ing.
Immediately after the passing Of the
parade Admiral Dewey was escorted to
