MUCH DONE
 FOR NEGRO Speech Of Bishop Nelson
 Of Georgia. TRAINING OF THE HANDS Needed far More Than Higher
 Education. The Bishop Declares That Decent Negroes in the South Need Not Be Idle Twelve
 Hours.
TRAINING OF THE HANDS

Rochester, N. Y, Dec. 6.-At the Epls- copal conference this afternoon the sub feet What we are doing for the negro was treated by Rt. Rev. c, kinlock Nei- son. D. D., Bishop of Georgia; The Philippines" by the Rev. H. Beck, bishop elect to the Philippines. "Brazir by the Rt. Rev. Lucien L. Kinsolving, D. D., Bishop of Brazil.
 pr. Nelson made a strong appeal for the education of the negro along indus trial lines In spite of the many col leges of the South, said the speaker which are devoted to the higher educa- tion of the negro, few are found who stand high in the institutions. adding that the real demand Is for training that will fit the colored man for useful vacations, Dr. Nelson declared empha- tically that there is no decent capable negro in the South today who need be without work for twelve hours. Con- tinuing he said:
 ''The Southern people as class have no sympathy with the outrages that are nerpetrated. The best of them are op- posed to the disregard for law and order that is some times manifested. and wish to warn you against believing all you read about the enormities that are chronicled. Too often these are the pro- ducts of the imagination of sensational newspapers and have no foundation tr fact"
 In closing Dr. Nelson said that the contributions that have been made for the prosecution of work among the negroes in the South have been deplora' bly inadequate.
 pr. Kinsolving said when he went t' Brazil he found himself in a land O spiritual death among 100000 persons four-fifths of whom were utterly Hitter ate and that practically these same condi tions prevail today.
 'The growth of our work in Brazil. however, said Dr. Kinsolving. "and tho growth of our churches and the liberality of the native Christians have no paralle in history"
 A resolution was unanimously adopted this evening which reflects the keynote of the convention and is in fact the objective of the political sitting of the missionaries This resolution is in ef- feet to organize all members of the church for mission work A commission of three was appointed who will confer with the executive committee and for mulate plains for the carrying out of this plan.

Vaughan and Roulhac.

The Attorneyship for the Northern Dis trict is just as unsettled as ever. The fact that the late President had promised the reappointment pf MT. Vaughan has lost potency. His enhances rest on his merits and not on McKinley's promise. The fact is that President Roosevelt was at the beginning of his succession i'm posed upon by men who claimed McKin- iey's promise. and this has served to em- barrass men who really had the promise. Nil Roulhac believes his chances for ap- pointment to be excellent. MT Vaughan is equally confident.
 Ex-Governor Johnston and Judge Roul- hac returned to Alabama tonight.

w1LHELMINA's BAD CHOICE.
She Drew a White Elephant When
 She Picked Out Henry.

London. Dec. GA dispatch to The
 Evening News from The Hague today says:
 Peace reigns again at the palace. and the happiest man in Holland Is MaJor
 Van Tets, who was wounded in defense of Queen Wiihelmina by Prince Henry, or as Dutchmen now call him, The Ger man." Van Tets is one of the. ten noble youths who formed the bodyguarus or the smiling young Queen when she was married in February, and who have since
 been at their royal mistresSs beck ana call on every occasion. They pride them-
 selves on their servitude. It is whispered
 that every man of the ten handsome
 youths who surround Her Majesty's car
 her when she skates, ride with her when she rides and dance attendance on her generally, has been at one time or an- other in love with her.
 Official contradictions notwtthstandlng nobody in The Hague doubts that the Queen and her consort have been at loggerheads practically since the we'd ding. Prince Henry is an unpleasant per sou. He eats too much. drinks too free than his wife. Wilhelmina Is not wo- man to allow herself to be neglected with impunity. It is said that she stanched Van Tets's wound with her own hands and insisted on her husband beg ging pardon of the Jonkberr as well as of herself before she would forgive him. All the romance of the marriage of Will helmina and the man she herself chose has disappeared.
 London, Dec. IA dispatch to tho Cen | tral News from Amsterdam. says that Major Van Tets died last Thursday evening.
