EDUCATION NOT THE SOLUTION

The following very interesting address
on the negro problem was recently ceIlV-

ciety by Mr. Sidney Lanier. He takes
bold stands and offers his views for the
solution OF a1iae perpleXing and. TO the
South, all important question:
The negro problem. that has perpleXed
the South for the past thirty years, has
been, and still ds. one of the most stupen-

any people

were delivered from a bondage that began

Anslo-Saxon race-the greatest race on
eartil-oniy after a thousand years OF
patient toll, the exercise OF self-refiance,
and many bitter experiences.
The advent of the negro into this coun-
try and mis- enslayerment was the beginning
of our woes. and they have grown Win

GARRISON OvERWORKED.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 16.-
Two hundred and thirty-four recruits
will leave the Preside this morning
and embark in the transport Sheridan
for Manila. One hundred vii be left
in camp for another ship. Few casuals
are kept at the reservation. They are
sent to the Philippines almost as fast
as they come in from the various re-
cruiting stations. The entire garrison
force is but 800 soldiers. Most of them
are conValescents awaiting recovery
and discharge to civilian life. The
post detail is so small that every one
is kept busy. There are not enough
men TO do all the work of the reserVa-
ton. About 100 disinterred bodies
from the Philippines arrive every
month. They are held forty days in
the garrison morgue to be claimed by
relatives. Those that are not claimed
and shipped away are then buried at
the Preside Government Cemetery
with full military honors. Today
eighteen soldiers will be buried. The
work of ATTENDING to the dead and per-
forming routine duty about the post
prevents all the usual military dis
plays. There have been no parades, no
ceremonies, no drills for many months.
In the General Hospital there are $40
soldiers recovering from illness and
injuries in the service in the Phil
ippines. 1t requires a force of thirteen
surgeons, $50 men Of the hospital corps
and thirty women nurses to care for
them.

DISCOVERIES IN MEXICO.
Evidence that Chinese Discovered the
Country Centuries Ago.

MONTEREY (MeXico). November Is.
The report that American officers
have unearthed ancient records in Pc
king showing that the Chinese discoy-
cred America 1900 years ago and erect
ed temples in Mexico has aroused the
greatest interest among the scientific
men of Monterey and throughout this
country The Chinese temples alluded
to are in the State of Sonora, on the
Pacific Coast. The ruin of one of the
temples was discovered near the town
Of Ures, in that State, about two years
ago.
One of the large stone tablets found
in the ruins was covered with carved
Chinese characters, which We're partly
deciphered by a learned Chinese who
visited the ruins at the request of the
Mexican government. The Chinese
made the assertion at the time that the
ruins were those of a temple which had
been erected many centuries ago by
Chinese, but his statement was not re-
ceived with credence. 1t has long been
claimed that the Indians of the State
of Sonora are the descendants of these
early Chinese settlers. They possess
MANY traditions and characteristics of
the Chinese. If the report of the find
ing of these records in Picking is veri-
fed an expedition will go from here to
explore further the ancient temples Of
Sonora
