firmed by statistics and historical IL
lustrations. Among many of his more
nicely rounded periods, Mr.. Thomas
said:
"You cannot federate the world. At
the Hague Conference, the most ad-
vanced step ever taken IN that d.
rection, there was only a fraction of
the nations represented. The UtOpian
idea of disarmament came up, met its
fate and was borne to the tomb of the
impossible" +"
This makes the third scalp to dangIe
from the belt of Mr.. Thomas Oratory,
having won The first prise OF ten dol

co commencement in 1897, for the best

ratorical Contest at Howard.
The Alpha Phi Literary Society of
Howard University held its third an
nuaI prize debate for the Il. A. Brown
gold medal, Friday January 26th, in the
Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel. A
large and appreciative audience was
present and listened with rapt at
tention to the intelligent discussion of
a most interesting subject. "Resolved,
That international Disarmament is
Now Timely" The affirmative side was
argued by Mr.. W. E. Davis of the Theo
logical department. and MIR. r. Henri
Scott OF the Law school. The negative
argument were presented by Messrs.
Jas. w. Bats and Neral II. Thomas of
the College department. The discussions
were logical and interesting and several
OF the speakers showed exceptional
pow ers of oratory. The judges, Prof. r.
b. Terrell, Rev. A. P. Miller and
Warden Tennen, by unanimous de-
cision awarded the medal to Neral A,
Thomas for superiority of matter, ar
rangement and delivery. Mr.. Thomas
showed by far, more ability than any
Of the other contestants and he has
many Of the qualities of the true orator
He made most comprehensive argu-
ment and showed extensive research

HON. THOMAS G.HAYES.
The Recently Elected Mayor of
the Monumental City.

Baltimore, Md, Special Hon. T. g.
Hayes the recently elected mayor Of
Baltimore, is man Of unquestionable
character, portraiting all the executive
virtues that the responsibility OF his pO
sitiOn demands. He is gentleman
not only opposed to rowdyisn, turbu-
lance and wantOn violation Of the Law,
which has been growing prevalent IN
many OF our large cities, but he can be
truly placed among the unquestjOnahle
white friends 0f the Negro race. 1t Is
belle we'd that the Negroes made no
serious mistake by giving Mr.. Hayes
their support in the recent election.
His speech made last week at the Sharp
Street M. E. church, (colOTed) in con.
nection with these of Mrs. Ida b. Wells
B arnett and Others was highly ap-
plau ded by the colOred people Of this
city, in which address he 80 VividIy eX-
pressed his tender fe cling and appreci-
alton of those identified to the Negro
race. The representative Of The Col
Ored American was courteOusly re
ceived last week by the mayor, and we
can only predict nothing but healthy
and sound administration under the
executive advice of the worthy chief
tam. He Is further man that needs
no Introduction TO the citizens and
business arena Of the city and state,
having held many positions of trust and
espOnsibility. By his answering in
terest and fidelity in the cause of the
citizens whom he has so faithfully
served and represented; he now has the
full confidence and esteem of all his
constituents. j. 81. b.

an article in the Daily News of this
city, is a candid ate for the State Legis-
lature of South Dakota, and STANDS a
good chance of winning the coveted
toga.
Thomas J. Galloway, Special Agent
for the Negro exhibit at the Paris Ex-
position, was III town for about week,
recently. While here, Mr.. Galloway
called a meeting of the leading men Of
our city, and outlined plan for secur
ing exhibits from this section. Chica-
go will be the only Northern city from
which MIR. Galloway will take exhibits
to Paris. MIR. Galloway left last We'd
nesday for Atlanta, Ga, He was ac
companIed by Mr.. Harry Sheppard, of
st. Paul, photographer, who will take
number of photographs for the exhib-
it. MIR. Galloway will return here in
about q month.
Mr.. Theodore w. Jones addressed the
M ems Sunday Forum last Sunday on
"The Negroes Enemies" He made q
very plain, straightforward talk, and
maintained that the Negroes worst ene-
mics are not Jim Glow cars, disfran-
chisement, and Iynching, but his hab-
its OF gambling, Of shiftlessness, of
squanderlDg his earnings and his ener-
gies in bar rooms and brOthels. He
urged that an earnest effort be made by
the intelligent and respectable people
of our race to inculcate principles of
Thrift and selfrespect in the masses.
The fun III political circles is fast and
furious. The republican Primaries to

eager and anxious hands to receive it,
The present incumbent, Hon. E. r.
Wright, who has served two terms, is
candidate for re election. Mr.. Wright
has the merit of having made a good
commissioner, and of having achieved
powerful influence III the county
board, He has been, at various times,
the leader Of a faction in the board and
last week was the only member OF the
board to make q speech discussing the
finances of Cook county. 1t is need
less to say that he is strongly intrench-
ed III the favor of the powers that be,
and it may be that he will represent
the coLered people for another term IN
that office.
There are so many other candidates
that 1 cannot mention all. The more
prominent of them are ]. Norman
Croker, Hale q. Parker, Samuel 81.
Jackson, r. E. Moore and Col. John
r. Marshall. Col. Marshall Is also a
strong man with the leaders," and it
may be that if Mr. Wright be "rotated"
out of office, that Col. Marshall may be
the man to draw the 81, 900 salary that
attaches to the Office.
The two prominent candidates for
Governor from this county, are Judge
Elbridge Hanecy, OF the Circuit Court,
and Judge Orrin N. CARTS. of the COun'
ty Court, Judge Hanecy's name vas
first mentioned in this connection by
Hon. E. III. Morris at a meeting of the
3rd ward republican club. Since then
his boom has grown, and he bids fair
to win the nomination. Meanwhile
Judge Carts, than whom there is no
better liked and more popular man in
the county, is fighting hard with the
standard cry, of "Every man to the
primary, and down with the bosses."
1t is interesting to note the report
that has gained considerable currency
here, that in the event that Judge
Hanecy be elected Governor, his place
on the Circuit Court Bench will go to a
colOred man. OF course, only one col.
Ored man is in position TO be connected
with such rumor. It Is probable then,
that other interests may be sacrificed
to this object, and the next Board Of
Commissioners may not contain a col
Ored man In order that cOlOred man
may grace the Bench OF Cook county.

CRUISER NEW ORLEANS.
Speculation as to Cause Of Reported
Need of Extensive Repairs.

NEW YORK, March ia special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Of the Navy Long Is puzzled
over the report from Admiral Watson that
extensive repairs are required for the
protected cruiser New Orleans, now at
Nagaseh. He has cabled Admiral Wat
son declining to permit extensive repairs
until he knows whether they are neces-
sary.
This refusal grows out OF the fact that,
just before she left New York for Manila.
her officers reported that her boilers were
In need OF repairs which would nocesSi-
tate two months work. A board OF Off
GERS which inspected the vessel reported
that she could get away in two weeks,
and the work was finished in that period
Admiral Watson cabled that he had
ordered a board TO make a survey OF the
ship.
There is a suspicion In naval circles that
the New orleans is in need Of extensive
repairs because Of the departments ac-
ton in ordering the vessel to proceed 70
the Asiatic station without Undergoing
all the repairs which her officers deemed
necessary.
n department proposes to keep the
ship in Asiatic waters, Notwithstanding
her officers would prefer duty on the
North Atlantic station.
