Booker T. Washington Points Out Lines Along
Which He May Rise.
az the Associated Pross.)

New York, March lS.-A large au-
dience gathered at Madison Square Gar
den tonight to hear Booker I. Wash
inkton's address on the Future of the
Negro. The address was in part as fol-
lows:
Starting with one teacher and thirty
students with no property, the institu-
ton at Tuskegee now has an average
attendance of /, ,093 students, and to-
tai enrolment of ,231 representing 27
States, Africa, Porto Rico, Cuba and
Jamaica There are S8 officers and teach
ers employed. Graduates and under
graduates to the number of 5000 are
doing most valuable work all over the
South as industrial leaders, teachers,
etc. There are twenty-eight industries
at which our men and women find inn
mediate employment as soon as they
leave our institution. Since S5 per cent
of our people in the Gulf States live
by agriculture in some FORM we make
agriculture largely the basis of our
training. Using agriculture as a foun
dation We must gradually teach our
race to do well the things which their
hands find Immediately about them,
using this as stepping stone to what
the world calls higher and more impor-
tant things. Usefulness in the highest
degree will constitute our greatest pro-
lection and secure our greatest eleva-
ton.
Our greatest need al the present time
is in two directions. First, money for
current expenses. Our annual current
account is about $50 0G0. Secondly, an
endowment fund of at least $500, 900 We
have secured towards this amount $685.
900.
The race is making slow but constant
progress.
I'VE may not hold so many political
offices as we did in former years. but
we hold more farmers institutes and have
organized more agricultural fairs. We
may not have so many men in Congress
as formerly but we have built more in
dustrial schools and have organized more
savings banks.
Whatever else may happen the negro
throughout the country is determined
with your help and the encouragement of
the Southern white man to continue get
ting property, becoming x-payers. Sc
curing intelligence and learning to put
| a premium upon high moral character" :"
The object of the meeting was to raise
funds for Tuskegee Institute, and was
held under the auspices of the Arm
strong Association.

Their Whips.
(By the Associate Press. }

(By the Associate Press.
St. Petersburg, March 1S.-Thc students
organized today what was intended to be
an imposing demonstration in front Of
the Cathedral of Our Lady Of Kazan,
the occasion being the anniversary of
the death of Vetrova, the girl who COM
m:tted suicide scme years ago in a dun
geon of the political prison in the Fort
ress of st. Peter and St Paul in order
to escape infamous prosecutions.
Immense crowds assembled on the
Nevskoi Prospekt, the principal street of
the city and the adjacent thoroughfare.
The military in even greater numbers
occupied the district, closed the entrances
OF all houses and shops, patrolled the
streets and time after time cleared the
pavements. making many arrests, includ-
ing teachers and pupils of the higher
grade girls school. Several of these
young women resisted arrest.
The demonstration was held but, owing
TO the presence of the troops it was
rather a mild affair, although for time
serious consequences seemed likely to fol-
low the brutality Of the Cossacks in driv-
inG back the peope with whips.
COSSACKS CHARGE THE MOB.
London, March Especial dispatches
from st. PETERSBURG describe fierce

on seeing their leade- fall dismounted
and engaged in hasd to hand fight,

Attack by Excited Frerch Soldiers on

Without Special Significance.
(By the Associated Press.)

Tien Tsin, March 9.-(Afternoon. >
the positive developments of the Anglo
Russian siding dispute do not abate. A
company of British troops and a COM
pany of Russian soldiers remain en-
camped on either side of the trench look
ing at each other. The Russians have or
ders to fire on any one commencing work.
General Wogack says the trouble was
caused by the unwarrantable interference
Of the British in the affairs of the Rus
sian concession, and he adds that the
siding will not be continued unless he re-
ceives orders from his superiors.
Field Marshal Won Waldersee is ex>
pected here today. Both sides will ap-
peal to him. but they both consider the
matter to be beyond his authority and
will await orders from Europe.
Speaking of the attack made by a
number CT excited French soldiers on
some members of the British Sikh regi-
mont Sunday in the French concession,
General Lorne- Campbell says it was
merely a childish outbreak against the
orders Of their own general VINO had for
hidden the French soldiers to enter the
British concession. This order follow
ed a request made by General Lorne-
Campbell after almost every resident had
complained of the behavior of the French
in insulting women. refusing to pay for
purchases, acting riotiously and abusing
nd Drit
General Voyron. the French command
er, recognized that this must stop and
ordered the French soldiers to keep in
their own concessions General Lorne-
Campbell was perfectly satisfied that Cen
eral Voyron was in harmony with him

Foote ninth United States Infantry
says then French soldiers were abusive
to the American troops who were un-
armed while out on pass while the French
were armed with swords or bayonet5. On
one occasion an American disarmed a
Frenchman aud turned over his weapon
to the Sergeant of the Guard, explaining
satisfactorily his reasons for the action
taken.
Major Foote thought that sooner or
later the British must act in the interest
of the concession.
General Voyron says there is no fric-
ticn between the French and British.
The incident of Sunday was regrettable,

has no connection whatever with any feel

SITUATION AT TEN TSM UNCHANGED
II is STATE d That Both tte British and Russian
Troops Will be Withdrawn and That
This Will Doubtless End the
Contention,
(By the Associated Press.)

London, March 1S-On the highest Off
cial authority the Associated Press is au-
thorzed to announce that the difficulty at
Tien Tsin between the Russians and
British over the construction Of a railroad
siding in territory claimed by both, will
probably be solved by the withdrawal of
both the British and Russian troops
from the ground in dispute.
The officials of the British Foreign
office have not yet received official con-
frmation of Russia's alleged backdown
in regard to Manchuria, Turkestan and
Mongolia and inquiries on the subject'are
now being made at st. Petersburg and
Pekin. The British Foreign Office is not
relaxing it's efforts to secure more sat-
isfactory statement of the intentions of
Russia, but the officials deprecate the
British press agitation on the subject
On all sides it is officially and otherwise
said that Great Britain has not thel
slightest intention of resorting to hos
tilities against Russia, whatever may be
the outcome of the present negotiations.
THE SITUATION UNCHANGED.
Tien Tsin, March 1S.-The Anglo Rus
sian dispute is unchanged. The French
troops are quieter. over forty arrests
have been made.
While hostilities are out Of the question,
however it is not unlikely that diplo-
/ Ia4.r Tl~ff
and Russia will become strained almost
to. the breaking point Possibly British
war-ships may be dispatched to bring
pressure to bear upon Russia; but war
will not result unless some fracas. quite
unauthorized by London and st. Peters
burg occurs between the opposing forces
at Tien Tsin.
This assertion is based upon exhaustive
inquiries made by, the Associated Press
in London. A prominent British official,
often the mouth piece of the Government,
whose position makes il undesirable that
he should be named in this connection,
said this evening:
1T IS useless for our newspapers to use
provocative language. They forget that
we have a great army in South Africa,
and that we have no other army, nor the
makings Of cne elsewhere. 1t is impossi-
bic to go to war with Russia"
WALDERSEE AS PEACE MAKER.
London, March 19.-The Times this
morning makes the following announce
ment
I'VE learn that Count Won Waldersee
has interfered as COMMANDMENTS Chief
of the allied forces in China to put an
end to the mutually hostile attitude Of
the British and Russian troops at Tien
Tsiu."
There is no confirmation Of this state
ment in other quarters, but il has an air
of extreme probability and Will be re-
ceived by England with feelings Of con-
siderable relief

The Status of the Transvaal.

(I3Y IQe ASSDcldl6u IlGoo'J
Washington, March 19.-The status OF
the Transvaal and Orange Free State in
tehir relations to the Government of the
United States probably will be for the
first time fixed when a consul general
is sent out to Pretoria to succeed Adeloert
Hav. who has returned to Washington on
leave of absence but without the purpose
to go back to Pretoria. 1t is said that
so far there has been absolutely no Off
cial declaration on that point.
Ii is further stated that when the
United States annexed Porto Rico, the
State Department sent no notices to any
of the powers. They were supposed to
take note themselves of the Presidents $
proclamation and the acts OF Congress
The old consus retained their original
exequaters issued by the Spanish Govern
ment these being recognized by the Uni
ted States military authorities as suff1-
cient fer the purpose. The Status of oui
consuls in South Africa is precisely the
same.

passed the Moscow gate this morning on
the way to Tsarskoe- -Selo, seventeen miles
south of St. Petersburg, to which the
Gar has just removed. The police said
they would escort the Gar back to the
Winter Palace and that he would return
by carriage instead of by rail. 1t appears
more probable, however, that the Co.'S
sacks were merely sent to Tsarskoe-
SeIo as a precaution, since Mis- Majesty
is more easily protected there than here.
1t is apparently confirmed that three
students were killed yesterday. The
Cossacks rode into the crowds on the
sidewalk, and many face were cut open
by their knotted whips. Students and
working men threw rubber shoes, canes,
and snow balls at the Cossacks 1t is re-
ported that one Cossack was killed.
An official of the political police said
a thousand prisoners were taken, among
them being three hundred and fifty wo-
men students. The presence of working
men among the rioters rendered this
demonstration more dangerous than any
known in a generation
After reading the manifesto the stu
dents threw their crumpled copies into
the crowd and raised a flag inscribed
For Liberty" The students also shout
cd Help us get our rights" and the mob
responded with cheers.

PERMITS NO INTERFERENCE.
Russia's Right to Negotiate With China Re
garding Manchuria is Asserted.
CBy the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press)
st. Petersburg, March 19-Answering
a question of the correspondents Of the
Associated Press a competent official to-
day said:
1T is not true that Russia has yielded
to the representations of any of the
powers or modified her demands respect
ing Manchuria, because no representa-
tions have been made. Every tentative
attempt to address the Russian Govern
ment on the subject of our pour parlers
with China has been categorically de
clined Russia is great power and has
the right to hold negotiations with any
ether Government and no other power
has the right to interfere. Tentatives
made in a friendly spirit, however, re-
coived a friendly answer. But, plainly
stated Russia cannot receive inquiries
regarding the above pour parlers. The
result thereof will doubtless be made
known later
The informant of the correspondent
OF the Associated Press admitted the pow
er rebutted was Great Britain. The in
formant of the correspondent ridicued
the talk of a military conflict at Tien
Tsin. He said
IF diplomacy is unable to settle the
controversy Russia is willing to submit
it 10 arbitration perhaps to the Hague
Tribunal. or to some other arbitrator AZ
ter England captures De Wet perhaps she
will have the courage for military con-
hict in another auarter of the world.

ish forces, it is hardly probable that
