WHILE IN Savannah Tuesday night
Gov. Gambler on being asked what he
thought of the trip through Atlanta
and the South of the party Of million
aires and Others who may give some
money to colored educational institu-
tlors and whom he had declined to
meet, said:
T don't think much Of IL. The me-
gro colleges OF the South do not need
the aid OF these northerners very mucn.
You can stand on the dome OF the capt.
toll of Georgia and see more negro COL
leges with endowments than you can
white schools. We can attend to the
education of the darkey in the South
without the aid of those Yankees, and
give them the education they need
most. too. don't believe 10 the edu-
cation of the dsrkey. l thing the ne"
proes should be taught the industries,
such az carpentry, wagon making anu
kindred trades, but by the enort 10
educate him to higher things ana re,
move him from his proper sphere ana
fill him with desires that he cannot BAT
isfy he Ia made unhappy"
Gov. Gambler Is a southern MAJ,
raised among colored people, and
knows them we'll. That much OF what
be says is tras is believed by their
truest friends and we'll wishers, who
ses,in them as rule a people but little
benefited by their smattering OF "book
learning" with a growing aversion to
work, and whose morals are not i'm

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVEN.
TION.

The democratic State convention for
the nomination of Governor, Lieuten.
ant Governor and Attorney.General
will meet 10 Norfolk on August IA.
This was decided by the State commit
tee at its meeting In Richmond last
night. This meeting was largely at
tended.
The basis OF representation of the
convention was fixed at one delegate
for every hundred votes cast for Bryan
last year, which will give q convention
of about /, 440, one of the largest held
in Virginia for many years, II not the
largest ever held.
Thirty-four out of the City members
of the committee were credited as being
for Mr.. Swanson for Governor at the
start, and before the gavel fell others
were going over to him.
Representative Swanson's support
ers we're dominant 10 the committee,
and an undertone Of jubilatlon pre-
vsdes the throng that has been swirling
around and around 10 the congested
lobby ever since the meeting adjourn
ed. Mr.. Swansop's friends wanted a
late convention, because they claim
that the popularity of Mr.. Montague
will wane as the weeks 90 by, and that
additional time will only strengthen
the Swanson forces, aud they won
their point. Mr.. 8. G.Brent,of Alexan-
dris, moved that the convention be held
August Is.
Mr.. G. 9. P. Triplett, Of Culpeper,
wanted the convention date July 10.
Mr.. r. G.. Sonthall, of Amelia, offered
an amendment for August IA. Mr..
Brent accepted 1t and the committee
adopted 1t.
Senator Martin was present during
the entire session of the committee and
Senator Daniel was in Richmond until
noon, when he left for Washington.
Senator Martin, az he has done for
some time, claimed the nomination of
Swanson. Senator Daniel for the first
time gave publicity to bis hearty con-
currence In this view. The senior Sen
ator says that the sentiment of the
people all over the state, 80 far ss he
can Judge, testifies this estimate OF
Swanson's strength. The friends OF
Montague held an informal conference
during the day and discussed the situa-
ton. There is desire that Mr.. Mon
tsgue shall at once take the stump and
make vigorous campaign.
Col. Joseph Willard, OF Fairfax,
spoke assuringly OF his candidacy for
lieutenant governor.
The Eighth district was represented a. fol-
lows: 8. g. Brent (rroxy), g. 8. P. Triplett,
Granville Gaines and George s. 6hsckelford.

Paris, April 26.-Ool. Marchsnd, OF
the French army, who won distinction
at Fashoda, Africa, in 1899. and who
is now with the French expedtionary
force In China, formed scheme. 1t Is
said, to capture the Dowsger Empress
of China and her entire suite, by
methods similar to those by which
General Funston captured Aguinsldo.
The ministers Of the powers would not
consent, however, to the scheme being
carried out. AS China is supposed to
be at peace with the powers, the reasons
why the ministers obi ected are obvious.
