DECREASE IN FUR OUTPUT.
Ruthless Slaughter Of Fur-B Bearing An
irnals in Alaska Has Reduced
the Output 50 per Cent.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. ga special
to the Times from Tacoma says:
Ruthless slaughter. by hunters and
prospectors. Of foxes and other fur
bearing animals Of Alaska during the
past three years has reduced the fur
output Of the territory 50 per cent.
Dealers say the fur-bearing animals
are passing away SO rapidly throughout
Alaska that, like the rapidly dying In
dians. they will soon become extinct
unless the government makes some pro-
vision for their protection.
The great decrease in the output Is
partly due to the fact that fires started
by miners have burned over great
tracts Of country formerly filed with
fur animals. These fires have driven
the full grown animals TO inaccessible
parts and have burned to death all
the young which are usually the most
valuable fur producers.

GERMAN POLICY DER1DED.
An Authority on Chinese Affairs De-
clares That Peace Negotiations

NEW YORK. Nov. 29.-P. B. Badnef.
an authority on Chinese affairs, is quot
ed in a St. Petersburg dispatch to the
Herald as saying in substance to a
representative Of the Novoe Yremya:
1T Is nonsense to suppose that the
Anglo-German agreement resulted from
the withdrawal OF the Russian troops
from Pekin. The English and Germans
are natural allies In China.
''All we can hope Is that the foreign
ers will not stop TOO long in Pekln.
Otherwise they might discover so much
hidden treasure that It would seem de-
sirable to remain for good The Anglo
German agreement. which is now dis
agreeable to us, would then become
dangerous.
"The trouble Is that until the peac,
negotiations are concluded there can be
no question Of the European forces
leaving Pekin and these negotiations
viii never he concluded: first. because
II is not the interest Of Europe that
they should be. and. second. because
there is NO one to negotiate with.

The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-11-26

Free soiler but he adds that thirty
years OF study and experience have
wrought y complete reversal Of opinion
and belief. Tie asserts that the negro
of the south Is deteriorating; that the
generation after abolition is less ut for
the franchise than was the generation
before; and that there is not II sign to
be seen to encourage the hope of a pos
sibe upbuildirg of the negro to a plane
of qualification for the ballot. Re
move this black incubus" Colonel Wat
terson said in effect: take from the
white men of the south who are the
mainstay and prop of its life and
growth this overhanging menace OF
negro domination. that under no cir
cumstances possible to conceive can
ever become tolerable to them, and the
solidarity of political action in the
south, as well as most of the still lin
gering sectional prejudices, would van
ish in night: men would divide In
parties as they divide in other sections,
and genera ton would see the south
ern people carried forward on wave of
prosperity ana industrial ueNeIopiiiehi
hardly within the power of the mind
to measure"
This state of belief can have but one
logical outcome. 1t must eventually
crystallize in a concerted southern de-
mand for the repeal of the fifteenth
amendment. The squirting grand
father clauses in the four state
constitutions which have already
proceeded to rob the negro of the
ballot are recognized even by their
authors to be Numerically opposed to
the letter and spirit of the fifteenth
amendment. One or the other must
yield. The two cannot exist at one
time in peace. Inasmuch as the south
constitutes the body and substance Of
the Democratic party what is more
natural than that the south should
use the party instrument within its
grasp to formulate and promote de-
mand for the complete elimination OF
negro citizenship?
We predict that this will be a vital
issue in the early future.
