to the establishment of a progressive

MARYLAND HAD A FINE PUBLIC
SCHOOL SYSTEM.
NEGROES WOULD NOT LEARN
SENAOR GoRMAN DEFENDS HIS
PARTY AND IT'S PARTISAN
LEGISLATION.

New York, April 1.-Ex- Senator Arthur
r. German of Maryland, in an interview
regarding the politica Legislation enact
ed at Annapolis, which appears in spe-
cial from Washington, says:
IF there are many illiterates in Mary
land who will be affected by the passage
of the present law. the blame lies with
themselves. We have had the most per-
feet system of public schools for 40 years
of any state south of Pennsylvania.
Since 1870 the colored population has
had ample time to learn to read and
write by means Of the schools furnished
by the white taxpayers of Maryland.
And If, after these years of honest effort
on the part of the white people in sup
porting these schools, there are, as sa-
serted, 100000 of them who cannot read
or write, the fault can be attributed
only to their lack of desire to obtain
knowledge. They prefer to remain in
ignorance, and there is no way to compel
them to learn unless the incentive t.
vote may encourage them to attend the
schools.
"The Maryland people would have no
trouble in regard to suffrage, provided j.
was confined to the legislative residents
of the state or the persons who have IN
terests there, but the exclusion of colored
persons from participating in the cleo
tions and the systematic effort of certain
persons to obtain cheap labor have been
the means of bringing great numbers Of
undesirable colored men into Mary
land who have no interest in our COM
munity, and possibly do not possess suffi-
cient intelligence to enable them to vote
without assistance. They have been
used, however, by the politicians, and
threaten good order in the state. The
democrats of Maryland intend to protect
the state against such inroads, with all
the attendant ills that have followed in
the wake Of this immigration, and we
have no apologies to make for our
course"

OUR COURSE is NOT DEFINED
POWERS MAY PROTECT CHINA
AGAINST THE RAPACITY
OF THE CAR.
Ii HUNG CHANG FAV0RS TREATY
He Is a Well-kncwn Friend of Russia
Other Powerful Viceroys
Against HIM.

Washington, April Information has
reached here to the effect that the Rus
sian government, being seriously perturb-
ed by the course Of China in not sign.
ing the Manchurian agreement, largely
because of the protest made by the sev>
eral powers, has conveyed a distinct and
unmistakable indication to China that If
this course is persisted in there may
be an interruption of diplomatic rela.
tons bewteen Russia and China and a
termination of the present intercourse
between them. This is little short Of an
ultimatum that China must sign or take
the consequence of termination of her
friendly relations with Russia.
To what extent the United States will
take cognizance Of Russia's disposition
to enforce the signing. of the agreement
has not yet been made apparent. 1t ap-
pears to be the policy of the Chinese
authorities to consider this as subject
which concerns the powers quite as much
as it does China. The matter has be-
come further complicated by reports
reaching Washington that the Chinese
authorities are divided on the course to
be pursued, some of the most influential
including Lii Hung Chang, urging the
acquiesce be given to the Russian pro-
posals, while others insist on rejecting
the agreement. The attitude of Ii Hung
Chang is accounted for by his well known
friendliness for Russian interests. In this
case, however. there appears to be arr
rayed against him the strong influence
u Inc southern viceroys, Chan Chi Tung
and Liza Kun vi, who oppose the signing
of the treaty. The reports reaching here
this morning showed that the agreement
had not yet been signed. It's status is
most peculiar. The time within which
it was to be signed, expired last Tues
day. but on that DAY Yang Yu, the Chi
nese minister, fell in the legation and
hurt his hand SO that he was unable to
transact business This misfortune caus.
ed much amusement here and some ir-
ritation in certain quarters, as it had
been recognized as a timely means Of
avoiding a direct action on the subject.
1t is not clear to what extent the RUS
sian intimation has gone. but in any
event it gives an urgency to China's
course which has not been presented thus
far,

A NEW DEPARTURE.
Peace Commission Appoints Co.
between for the Moros.

Eamboanga, Island of N1indanao,
March 30, p. m.-Owing to the pecu-
liar conditions prevailing in the Sula
archipelago and the island of Mindanao,
lhe Philippine commission has about de-
cided to organize a departmental gov
ernment covering all the islands south
of Vizayas. A uniform general provin-
ojal law is impossible of application in
tae extreme southern islands on account
of the necessary debarring of the Morros
from self-government except in cases
where they have foresworn allegiance
to Datos, the sultan. and become sub
jccts of the United States, and for the
further reason of the multiplicity of
races and tribes in Mindanao and the
diversity of interests. The commission
VIII appoint a department governor
having authority to negotiate with the
sultan and datos and to act as direct
representatives of the commission. The
commission will sail by night to the
various posts in Mindanao.

LOOKED LIKE DYNAMITE
But It was an Earthquake That Shook
the Sultan.

Constantinople, April 1.-Yesterday's
earthquake was felt in Dolmabagtsche
palace at the moment of the ceremony,
when the high officials were passing be-
fore the sultan's throne. A panic re-
suited, particularly among the diploma
fists in the gallery, many of whom i'm
mediately left the palace. The band
ceased playing and the musicians rushed
to the doors. Pieces Of plaster feS from
the ceiling and portions of the chan
celeires were broken, adding to the gen.
eral alarm. The sultan rose from his
throne and took a few steps. apparently
intending to leave the chamber. but he
preserved great calmness and presence
of mind, which had q good effect. After
a moments hesitation his majesty seat
ed himself upon the throne and ordered
the ceremony to proceed. A reception
followed without further incident.

Miserable for Him.

Washington, April 1.-The future of
Minister Loomis depends upon the con-
ference which will be held at the state
department to-day between Secretary
Hay and himself. when the minister
reaches Washington. Until the secre-
tary has had an opportunity to talk
freely with Mr.. Loomis as to the con.
ditions in Venezuela, it cannot be known
positively whether or not he will re-
turn to his post Mr.. Loomis has been
the object of bitter attacks by some Of
the Venezuelan newspapers. not solely
because of the asphalt controversy, but
also because he was charged with max.
ing false reports to his government
touching the insurrectionary movement
in Venezuela. The minister did inform
the state department of the conditions
as he saw them and of the prospects Of
the revolutionary movement. The Vene-
zuelan government could not have di.

but because they We're followed by the

ALARMING BULLETINS.
salisbury's Health Is Bad, and He
Must Retire.

New York, April IA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
There were alarming bulletins at
several of the clubs yesterday respecting
the health of the prime minister, with
forecasts of his resignation and retire.
ment from public life before the end of
April. While the announcements Wers
premature and caused needless anxiety,
there had been no concealment of the
truth at Westminster for several months
that Lord Salisbury was ageing rapidly
and he was not likely to remain in office
after the new reign had fairly opened.
Even before his present indispostion 1t
had been evident that his health was
failing and that he looked jaded and
worn. The queens death and the press
of public business in connection with the
opening scenes and ceremonies Of the
new reign have prevented journey to
the Riviera, which might have invigor-
ated him and possibly it may now be too
late for him to take advantage of
respite from official duties. 1t has been
an open secret that the prime minister
was weary of public life and anxious to
retire after the general elections but was
dissuaded by urgent requests from the
court. His inclinations prompted retire.
but he was again forced to make a per-
sonal sacrifice and wait for a more con-
yenient season. Those who have heard
his recent speeches have been impressed
with his listless manner, lack Of anima-
ton and his increasing feebleness. Men,
bers of parliament have been predicting
since January his resignation before the
close of the present session. It has been
noticeable that the king has spared him
needless attendance at court and ac-
cepted the services of Mr.. Balfour many
times when the prime minister would
naturally have been in consultation with
him. Even if current reports Of Lord
Salisbury's failing health are exagger-
ated there is little reason to doubt that
there will be new prime minister before
midsummer, probably Mr.. Balfour II,
preference to the Duke of Devonshire or
Mr., Chamberlain. There were notable
| callers at Arlington street yesterday and
official bulletins do not yet admit that the
! case is serious.
