London Spectator Discourses Learn

London Spectator Discourses Learn
edIy Upon Our Race Problem.
London, Oct. 25.-Discussing the ne
gro problem in the United States. the
Spectator, while justifying Mr.. Roose-
velt's noble and courageous act'' in
entertaining Booker Washington, says
it wishes the President had not invited
him because it believes, "a recognition
OF the non-existant equality of the
races is not the best way to kill the
white prejudice against the
blacks" 1t proceeds to ad-
vocate, as the best solution of the
problem, that the whites and blacks
should avowedTy form themselves into
two castles like the Hindoos and Mus
sulmans of India, with no intercourse
except on the common business of life.
In the opinion of the Spectator the
ballot should be temporarily withdrawn
from the negro, although every office
except the presidency should be open
to him, but the whites should be enti-
tied to demand a trial by a white
judge. Under these conditions" says
the Spectator. "the races would devel-
cp peaceably until the color rules were
felt to be inconvenient and swept
away"

CZOLGOSZ is A CHRISTIAN.
So Father FudzinslSi Says After IN
Hour in His Cell.

Auburn, N. Y. Oct. 25.-Leon Czol-
gosz. the murderer of President Me-
Kinley. was visited in his cell in the
Auburn penitentiary to-day by the
Rev. Hyacinth FudzinsRi of Buffalo.
The visit was made at the request of
the condemned man. Father Fudzinski
spent an hour with the assassin. When
he emerged he was asked by an Asso-
ciated Press reporter if Czolgosz had
renounced anarchy and embraced
Christianity. He replied:
''He is Christian. He was born a
Christian, and although he may have
renounced Christianity, he is Chris
tian, 1 think"
Father Fudzinski admitted that dur
ing the time he was with the assassin
a great change for the better came
over him. He said he expected to see
Czolgosz again soon.

ADVANCE IN WAGES REFUSED.
Strike of Fall River Operatives Now
Seems Certain.

Fall River, Mass. Oct. 25.-The Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Manufactur-
ers' Association this afternoon made
a positive refusal to advance wages
10 per cent, as requested by the textile
council. The reply asserted that the
present schedule of wages is a very
high one. 1t says:
When the present wage schedule
went into effect. Dec. IL, 1899, there
was a margin between the selling price
of 45-yards of 2S-inch Ga by 64
print cloths and 8 pounds of
middling upland cotton of SAN cents.
To-day the margin figured in the same
way is 70.S cents. or 1895 cents less
than when the schedule now in force
was adopted"
Judging by present indications moth
ing can avert a strike at Fall River
except the action of the operatives at
their meeting next week. 1t is not ex-
pected that they will take any action
other than that of voting to strike.

Lipton's Proposal.

The New York Yacht Club has formally
declined Sir Thomas Lipton's proposal
to race Shamrock II. again next summer.
The American people would be willing
to waive the churlishness OF this decision
should it have the effect Of seyering the
club sconnectiOn with these international
races By trihing amendment OF the
rules, which the club itself made, the
wishes Of Sir Thomas Upton could have
been met and the feelings OF the public
gratifed.
The mandate of the donor was for a
contest in which the best American
yacht, whether owned by an individual
or a club, should race the challenger
from the other side 1t must be obvious
from the occurrences OF the recent yacht
ing season that this object cannot be
achieved None but boat owned and
sailed by the New York Yacht Clab can
enter for the championship. Even this
would be submitted to by the public,
were it not the disposition of the yacht
club to make the contest year after year
more of private affair, and to increase
its arbitrary attitude to the public. I'm
der the circumstances, it seems about
time to cut adrift from the America =
Cup altogether, and let the New York
club box it up as a relic.-Baltimore
