War Denounced as a Crime.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-Supporters of the
liberal party to the number of 300 or
400 held a private meeting at the
Westminster Palace hotel to protest
against the governments war policy.
The resolutions adopted declared the
war a ''crime and blunder," commit
ted at the instigation of irresponsible
capitalists; demanded the publication
of the full correspondence regarding
the Jameson raid; protested against
the increasing ornaments; reaHirmed
the liberals gratitude to Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman, John Morley
and James Bryce, and decided to open
a permanent fund to carry on vigor-
GUS political propaganda for the prin.
ciples thus enunciated.

why the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty Is Like.
~ to ISc Amended.
WASHINGTON, Feb 16.-Unless the
desired fortifcation clause is incor-
porated in the Nicaragua canal treaty
with Great Britain the pact is likely
to be pigeon-hglcd by the United
States senate. Such action was fore.
Swallowed in the republican senatorial
caucus. a tacit agreement being reached
to sdetrack it for other measures ii
the amendment demanded is not made.
Without such amendment the treaty
seems doomed either to death by in
anition or to outright defeat. The
former seems the more probable course.
as the friends of the treaty do not dare
push it to vote and the opponents
are we'll satisfied with action tanta-
mount to laying it on the table. 1t
can therefore be predicted with reas-
enable safety that the favorite sena-
torial custom of killing an objection

to. Failure to act on the treaty is
likely to be accompanied by lack of
legislation during the present ses-
sion of congress for the construction
of the canal itself. Pending the def
mite settlement of the diplomatic
questions involved the friends of the
project are not DESTROYS of pushing it
at Il time when their success may put
the United States to maximum of
expense for a minimum of profit. For
these reasons the opinion is gaining
ground that no action will be taken
on either the treaty or the canal itself
until next winter.

Russia's Assurance Not Valuable.

LONDON, Feb. lG.-The st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Times, re.
marking that ''it will not do to place
over-much reliance upon Russia's
official assurances that nothing will be
done to embarrass England in the pres
ent situation of affairs" gives addi-
tional details showing that the delays
to ordinary traffic on the Central Asian
railway are not caused, as has been Of
ficially reported, by snowfalls, but are
due to the passage of Russian troops,
estimated at 10000, who are being con-
centrated in the vicinity of Kushk.
The correspondent adds that '.most
Russians are convinced that Russia in
tends, sooner or later, to take Herat."

KIMBERLY IN BAD SHAPE,

LONDON, Feb. l3.-Startling intelli-

Cape newspapers just received by mail
in London. 1t appears that since
January the rations at Kimberly
have been for the most part horseflesh,
so repugnant to women and children
that many refuse to eat it. 1t also APP

heavy and that the privations Of the

plsins His Position In Pretoria Was
Insunerable.
i WARRINGTON, Feb. 15.-In state
ment issued yesterday Charles Macrum,
former United States consul to Pre-
toria, says: NJ t
Y "The situation in Pretoria was such
that, first, as an official, I could not
remain there while my government at
home was apparently in the dark as to
the exact conditions in. South Africa;
secondly, as a man and citizen OF the
United States, / could not remain in
Pretoria, sacrificing my own self-re-
spect and that of the people of Pretoria,
while the government at home contn-
ued to leave me in the position OF n
British consul and not an American
consul. l want to say right here that
there was not a single request made OF
me through the department Of state
looking to the care of British interests
in Pretoria which did not fulfill and
report upon according to my orders
On the other hand, American interests
in South Africa were in a condition
which demanded that the department
of state should be cognizant of them.
II issued the statement received
from the state department that
Americans must remain neutral. In
the face of this Americans were con-
tinually going to the front and taking
up arms in the cause of the Beers. |
could not help but know that many
of these were citizens of the United
States. l also know that many Of
them in utter despair at the apparent
attitude of our own government were
taking tire oath of allegiance to the
Transvaal republic. When affairs had
reached that stage that my vice consul,
Mr.. Van Ameringen, closed up his bus
mess, took the oath of allegiance to
the republic and went to the front as
q burgher, I thought the time had
come when should make report OF
these conditions.
He goes on to explain that his mail
was opened by the British authorities.
He therefore asked leave of absence
and came to Washington to report the
conditions, but was surprised upon his
arrival to learn that he was no longer
in the cosular service and that the de-
partment of state expected no report
from him.

and placed in the hands of Sergeants.

announcement in the house of COM
mons of the intention of the govern
ment to encourage the Zulus to defend
themselves from the Beers is contin-
gency the Beers seem to have antici-
pated, as they have been doing every
thing in their power to win the good
will of the Basutos, who have thous-
ands of good rifles. The Beers gave
1000 Basutos safe conduct. If the
British let loose one tribe the Beers
will probably let loose another.

DEWEY's NEW POSITION.

Assigned to Duty as Advisory Counsel to

WASHINGTON, Feb. l6.-Having COM
pleted his duties as a member Of the
Philippine commission, Admiral
Dewey will be assigned to duty as ad-
visory counsel to the secretary of the
navy. His duties will not be arduous,
and unless war should occur and he
be required to help frame naval pol
icy or map out campaigns, 1t is not
likely that he will have much more to
do than Admiral Porter. Only on the
more important questions pertaining
to the navy will he be called upon for
opinions.

CINCINNATI. Feb. l6.-Attorney H.
B. Macoy, with Ex-Governor Bradley
and other attorneys interested in the
Kentucky contested election cases APP
peared before the United Sta ties Circuit
Judge Taft in chambers and filed no.
tice of an appeal from the decision rem
dered by the latter on Friday after
noon. The appeal will be taken direct
to the United States supreme court
The petition for appeal merely states
that Judge Taft erred in declaring
that jurisdiction did not lie in the fed
eral court and it was solely upon this
ground that appeals will be taken.
When Macoy appeared before Judge
Taft he had with him several other
petitions which were brought by the
other minor state officials. The prayer
of each is the same. Judge Taft ex-
amined them all and allowed the ap
peal in each.

doned by Governor Taylor, is still in

BISHOP GRANT ON THE NEGRO.
Says There Never was a Time When the
Outlook Was Better.

Bishop Grant in a late conversation,
spoke of his travels and observations
among his people in the South and
other sections. He said:
"There never was time in the his
tory of the race in which the outlook
for the future of the race was brighter.
Lynchings are on the decrease. Gov
ernors of Southern States are, in their
messages, making recommendations
favorable to the establishment of bet
ter peace between the two races, and
now and then are to be heard in the
Congress of the nation and other high
places, utterances that give hope and
cheer to the race.
1.-The preachers and teachers of the
race are teaching the cultivation of
high moral principles, the value of vir
tue and refinement, the acquirment of
homes and money, and the cultivation
of the friendship of good people every
where. The masses are needing these
instructions and are putting them into
practice with the result that in a few
years we shall be a new people.
ALREADY in the South the negro
owns thousands of homes and pays
taxes on millions of value and annual
ly there are going out from the school
and colleges of the country, thousands
of young men and women, into the
country sections, who are teaching the
inhabitants of the log huts how to
build and make happy homes and who
are sowing seeds of virtue, morality
and refinement.
"This grecj reformation is not only
going on among the poor negroes of
the South, but among the poor whites
of that section, who have been as long
neglected in instruction IN these prin-
ciples as the negro. When both men
have imbibed these great principles,
then there will be no longer race wars,
race determinations or lynching bees.
And both the negroes and the white
people of this country will rest happy
under their own vine and fig tree and
there will be none to modest them OF
make them afraid"
AS remedy for the prevention o.
lawlessness, the Bishop believes tina
continued agitation will bear fruit in 4
condemnatory public opionion thai
will crystalize into both State and
national laws.

FARMERS TRUST ASSOCIATION
ORGANIZED TO SECURE MORE REMUNER.
ALIVE PRICES FOR FARM PRODUCTS.
The Prospectus as Drawn up and the Prln-
eipals Upon What the Organization
is Founded.

The following is the prospectus just
issued by the Farmers Produce Asso-
citation of Delaware If carried out on
lines mentioned, it will be benefit to
city consumers as we'll as the growers
here, and will also be benefit to every
citizen of this State, for on the pros
perity of the agricultural interests,
rests the success of all other lines of
business. Markets are never glutted
by goods of best quality. BY honest
packing, proper grading, uniform
packages proper distribution, the use
of trade labels, &c, and organized eff
fort They expect to he a benefit to
all concerned.
This Association has been organized
for the purpose of securing more re-
munerative prices for our fruits, and
other farm produce, by every legiti
mate means"
As this is our first year, and we
have no capital to start with except
nominal membership fee of one dollar
per year, we propose to cOntine our
work this season to what we can ac-
cOmplish without much cash outlay.
1st. To encourage cash buyers at
all Railroad Stations by selling when
ever offered a fair cash price, and by
shipping to none but our own Commits
sion Merchants when prices offered are
not acceptable.
End. To try and secure from trans
pOrtatiOn Companies more satisfactory
service, and more acceptable rates for
shipments of our members.
3rd. To secure one or more reliable
Commission Merchants in each city to
which we wish to ship, who will re-
ceive all the cOnslgnments of our mem
bers so long as their transactions are
satisfactory to us.
We shall have a shipping agent to
each Railroad Station, who will re-
ceive quotations by telegraph from our
Commission Merchants, and hold them
for the exclusive use of our members.
The Commission Merchant keep per
cent, of gross sales for their services,
and remit 3 per cent, weekly to our
shipping agents, One-half of which he
pays to the Association.
The Association has adopted TRADE
MARX, which will appear on all ship
ments by our members. This trade
mark will be in the form of stickers
which will be placed on every package.
The trade mark will bear this inscrip-
ton:
