TAKEN INTO SLAVERY.
south Carolina AfrO-Amcrican Put
In a Convict Camp without Trial
slavery All Over the South Yet.

Columbia. S. C.-Gov. McSweeney
has received details of a slavery case
in Georgia that will have his immedi-
ate attention The matter is called.
to his attention by John d. Sullivan,
a planter of Laurens county. The
governor some time ago granted
reQuisition from Gov. Gambler for
James Gray, charged with stealing
$3.50 worth of cotton. Mr.. Sullivan
reports the Afro-American was ar
rested on his plantation. He gave
him a letter to the sheriff of Elber-
ton, asking that official to telegraph
him (Sullivan) the amount of the
fine as soon as Gray was tried and he
would pay it. Not hearing from the
sheriff the planter made an eXamina-
tion and reports that Gray was never
tried, but a convict contractor took
him out of jail, or rather sent his
whipping boss for Gray and took him
to his convict camp, where he is
locked up at night with convicts,
guarded and worked with them dur
ing the day.

An Unbiased "Judge,, Talks.

The great Russian pianist, Ossif
GabrielOwitsch. in a recent interview
in the Chicago Chronicle, has the fol-
lowing good word for the musical
genius of the Negro. In it he rather
slaps our deserving friend Thomas in
the face. He said:
Zone thing that I cannot UNDER
stand" he said, running his hands
through his hair, sis the manner in
which the American people regard
the Negro. In my country, we had
slavery long before it was introduced
into the United States. but with it's
abolition all feeling of caste vanished
and to-day the sons of former serfs
are eligible, if they are fitted, to the
positions of highest trust in the ma
ton. And we are not regarded as a
republic, either.
''Then. again, the colored man is
really superior to the white man in
one way. He is a born musician. I
have found that music is nearly al
ways the expression of the highest
intellectually. and the Negro is re-
ally one of the first musicians in the
world His ear is true and his songs
are beautiful. appealing to the senses
as perhaps but few compositions of
other races do. His songs are not
savage or barbaric, but some of them
are really grand in their conception"

BARS CATHOLICS AND NEGROES.
David w. Hitchcock Leaves 100000
10 Wellesley Female Seminary With
Conditions.

Boston, Mass.-By the will of the
late David w. Hitchcock, filed for
probate April 2, Wellesley Female
seminary is to receive a fund of $780,
600 upon rather remote contingent
cies. The fund is to be known as the
ANNA NJ. and Alice II. Hitchcock
fund.- but the testator adds the fol-
lowing unusual clause:
81 exclude Roman Catholics and
colored persons because [ feel that
the introduction into said seminary
of pupils who differ essentially in
race and religion from the others
may prevent the best interests there
of. Such girls to be selected as the
benefciaries of this fund by the Off
GERS of said seminary as would be un-
able to afford the expense of an edu-
cation at said institution without
such assistance, and 1 request said Of
ficers to limit the benefit of said as
sistance to such girls as appear to
them to be bright and intelligent and
likely to profit thereby"
If the trustees of the seminary re-
fuse to accept the bequest, the tes-
tator directs that the fund be given
to the Museum of Fine Arts. Bequests
of $1,000 are made to four Boston
charitable institutions.

Regular Service-COHSressm Dick
on DisfranchIsemenI.
Washington, ID. C.-The local cor
respondent of the New York Herald
recently reported Congressman
Charles Dick, of Ohio. as saying:
''The republicans cannot fail to
take cognizance of the political
thefts which have taken place in
North Carolina, South Carolina, Lou
isiana. Mississippi and recently, in
the state of Maryland. Unless dras-
tic action is taken as soon as possible
we may expect West Virginia, Vir-
ginia, Kentucky and almost every
other southern or border state
where democrats have control to
adopt the disfranchisement method
of perpetuating their party in power.
There is no telling where this thing
will stop.
''The action of the Maryland legis-
lature was theft, pure and simple.
In that state there was no danger of
Negro domination.
Il am heartily in favor of the pass
age of bill which will reduce the
representation of all these states.
both in congress and the electoral
college, to an extent proportlOnate
to the number of voters disfranchis-
ed. Since the passage Of the suffrage
bill in Maryland have found grow
ing sense of outrage among republic
ans and determination TO correct
the evil as soon as possible.
81 believe the first step to this end
will be the reintroductiOn of reso-
luton similar to that introduced by
Representative Olmstead. of Pennsyl-
vania. providing for an investigation
of the disfranchisement of voters in
the southern states. When that IN
vestigation has been made there will
be an earnest effort to secure the
passage of remedial legislation.

Then she begged that he v Iould tell
her about his dream, and he said:
Il dreamed that there waa very
rich man who longed to mike the
world a better, brighter wold. He
publicly proclaimed his belitf that
he believed it was better to gHe than

tops that one who died rich ded dis

BOTHA ASKS FOR PEACE
Negotiations are Resumed Between
British md ROer Commander.

Cape Town, April 11.-Gen. Botha
has reopened negotiations with the
British for peace.
1t is understood here that although
Gen De Wet at his recent interview
with Gen. Botha, refused to surren-
der, Gen. BOtha regarding him as IT,
responsible, undertakes to negotiate
in behalf of the entire Boer forces.
The British authorities consider that
if BOtha surrenders, De Vets follow
ing can be easily taken.
AS explained here, this action was
determined in part by Gen. Botha's
discovery, at a recent meeting, that
Gen. De Vets intellect had weak
ened, and that his influence with his
followers was diminishing, and that
a continuance of the campaign, in
view of De Vets irresponsibility,
rested with Gen. Botha alone
London, April 1.-THE report that
Gen. Botha has resumed negotiations
with Lord Kitchener is not yet Off
cially confirmed. but it is generally
credited and received with satisfac-
ton except by the ultra jingoes, who
fear that the government will renew
the terms recently rejected.
Regarding Gen. De Vets mental
condition, reports have been very
conflicting for some time. His recent
inactivity points to there being some
truth in the rumors which allege
that long continued hardships, under
the harassing British pursuit, have
unhinged his mind.
On the other hand a correspondent
of the Times quite recently acknowl-
edged the wonderful foresight and
fertility of resource" which charac-
terized Gen Botha's retreat from
Cape Colony.
As during the previous abortive ne
gotiations, the British press again
loudly insists on unconditional sur
render" but with budgetary necessi-
ties staring the country in the face,
if negotiations are reopened the
Beers, as the Daily Chronicle re-
marks editorially, may reckon on
fair treatment" at the hands of the
