Chicago, Feb. 20.-The Tribune to-
day prints the following cablegram
from Pekin, China, Under date o.
Feb. 10:
"A sensation was caused in diplo-
matte circles here today when it be-
came known that the United States,
through Secretary of State John Hay,
had sent note to the Russian and
Chinese governments following closely
along the lines of the Anglo-Japanese
treaty of Jan. 80.
The note is distinct warning to
both China and Russia that the United
States will not permit the integrity of
the empire to be molested in favor of
one nation to the detriment of anoth-
er.
Secretary Hays Note.
"The note. which practically indorses
the English treaty with Japan says;
Washington, Feb. Am agree
ment whereby China gives any corpo-
ration or company the exclusive rights
or privileges of opening mines, estab-
fishing railroads, or in any other way
industrially developing Manchuria,
can but be viewed with the gravest
concern by the government of the
United States.
1t constitutes monopoly which
is a distinct branch of the stipula-
tiorS Of the treaties concluded be-
tween China and foreign powers and
thereby seriously affects the rights Of
American cltizens.
1t restricts their rightful trade,
exposing it to being Disseminated
against interfered with. or otherwise
jeopardized, and strongly tends to per
manestly imparing China's sovereign
rights in this part of the empire, while
it seriously interferes with her abil-
ity to meet her International obliga-
tions.
other Demands Would Follow Low.
Furthermore, such a concession
on Chinas part would undoubtedly be
followed by demands from other pow
ers for similar equal extensive advant-
ages elsewhere in the Chinese empire,
and the inevitable result must be the
complete wreck Of the policy of alb
solute equality of treatment to all ma
tions respecting trade, navigation, and
within the empires con
fines.
On the other hand, the attain
ment by one power of such exclusive
privileges for the commercial organiza-
tions Of its nationality conflicts with
the assurances repeatedly conveyed
to this government by the imperial
Russian ministry of foreign affairs of
the imperial governments intention to
follow the policy OF the open door as
advocated by the government of the
United States and accepted by all the
treaty powers having commercial in
terests in the empire.

Allison was always presidential tim

he held high his lightning rod hoping
that it would do SO. The statesmen

but now he gives it out that he will
never again be a candidate for the
presidency, and he has reasons for not
being, for at present he is seventy
three years old and before he would
get another opportunity to stand for
the presidency he would be quite in
his eighties, which would put him
beyond the pale of presidential posi-
bilities, more on account of his being
an octogenarian than perhaps his non
ability to conduct the office. Senator
Allison has crossed political swords
as well as debates with Americas
leading and foremost statesmen and
especially that class of statesmen that
stood in the forum Immediately before
and after the Great Civil War.

PASSING
EVENTS

AS is the annual custom of those
persons who claim Scotland as their
home, the memory of Bobby Burns was
celebrated last Saturday night in true
Scottish style, not only in Seattle but
perhaps all over the world, and especi-
ally where a sufficient number of
Scotchmen live to hold such a cele-
bration. The birthday of Bobby Burns
is not only honored and revered by
Scotchmen, but by every nationality
whose privilege it has been to read
his poems. While only Scotchmen
generally participate in those celebra-
lions, nevertheless the outside world
is much interested in them and are
always pleased to hear his country
men sing praises to his memory and
his nobleness of heart in general. Jan
uary 25th with Scotchmen is like unto
March 10th with the Irishman, who
on that day wear the green in memory
of Saint Patrick, their patron saint
Keeping green the memories of per-
sons like Burns is as it should be and
all nationalities should keep alive the
memories of those men of their race
and country who have proven them
selves worthy of their lives being per-
petuated.

Mr.. I. F. Norris, formally of Guth-
| RE, Oklahoma, in writing to his home
paper, the Avalanche, concerning Sc
attic, uses the following language con-
corning the state in general and a few
Of Seattle's citizens:
This is a great state and when fully
developed will be much greater. 1t is
very mountainous in a part of the
state But on the East side it is good
for all kinds of agricultural products
Wheat from forty to fifty bushels per
acre, apples, peaches and fruit of all
kinds. Hay, the finest l ever saw. Po-
tatoes are the very best and here they
have regular seasons. On the west
side the whole bosom of the earth is
full of mineral Of coal, copper, iron,
and many say gold.
All kinds Of vegetables grow on this
side also This season of the year it
rains about half of the time, not
enough, however, to stop men from
outdoor work. It is very healthy
throughout the state. This is a great
city and greater people. The popu-
lation is about one hundred thousand,
Of all races of people, it has all mod
ern improvements, with the best street
car service in the country, both cable
and electric. It's ship yards, docks
and lumber mills are the wonder of the
age. The largest vessels that pillow
the ocean come within one block of
the wholesale business portion of the
city. l will write you concerning Ha-
waii in my next. 1 have made only

it be said of him though bright in the

A WORD
To Out of Town Folks.

Seattle is quite an important
center-there are very close to
100000 people living here. 1t
takes several hundred grocers
to supply their wants. 1t is ma
tural that competition is keen
and prices down to bedrock.
That to succeed and retain the
reputation of LEADING GROC-
ERS" we must sell the best
quality at the lowest prices.
The Advantage
of competition cannot be en-
joyed by out Of town people,
where trade is limited to dealers
who do a small business and
buy accordingly.
During 1901
we filled thousands of orders
from all parts of the state, also
from British Columbia and
Alaska.
Many have sent TRIAL OR
DERS just to see if there was
anything in it. They have been
convinced there is considerable
saving. That our goods are
first class and our methods of
doing business honorable. They
now order regularly and induce
their neighbors to trade with us.

The proposition submitted to the
colored folk of this country by the
government of Tunis Africa, a French
protectorate, which invites hundreds
and thousands of the American Ne
groes to emigrate to that country I'M
der most favorable auspices, is being
widely considered and debated by the
colored folks at the present time In
comparison with the citizens of the
country of Tunis the Negro can be sue
cessfully classed as a skilled agricul-
turist and mechanic and it is the
intention of the government to settle
a number of them among the natives
and thereby set on foot thriving col
ony in the Northern part Of Africa. In
the past, with possibly one exception,
the French people have shown much
consideration to their colored colonies
and in France proper are to be found
thousands of colored people, who lose
their racial identity the moment they
set their feet on French soil, and at
once become part and parcel of the
great citizenship of that republic their
color to the contrary Notwithstanding.
If therefore the French government
can convince a sufficient number of
leading colored men that Negro emf
grants from the United States would
be properly cared for and given suffi-
cient funds to begin the battle of life
in that far away land, it is more than
likely that large numbers of them will
favorably consider the proposition and
begin at once to make preparations to
leave for the new Eldorado in the ia
therland.

statesman from the Hawkeye state.

speak of Editor Cayton of the Seattle
Republican, one of the best and
brightest Negro papers published.
There are many others of whom I
shall speak in the future.
Respectfully yours,
1. F. NORRIS.
Mr.. Norris has purchased property
IN this city and is now having a store
and westinghouse erected, which,
when completed, will be occupied by
him and will carry a stock Of groceries.
He expects his wife and children to
join him some time in June and they
will take up their permanent resi-
dence here.
1t is noted that the University teams
of Washington, Idaho, Oregon and
California are to debate on what is
commonly known as the race ques-
ton" of this country in the very near
future. The University of Washington
has selected it's most able orators for
the debate and it is surmised that
the other state universities will do
likewise. The question to be debated
is: Resolved, That the adoption of
the fifteenth amendment was justifa-
ble." The Republican regrets that the
Washington boys are to take the neg
ative side of this question, because it
believes that none Of the competing
universities has as able debaters as
D. A. Mcdonald and his colleagues of
this city and it would have been high
ly pleased to have heard them debate
the affirmative side of this question.
If Mr.. Mcdonald wins the debate he
will win it from an oratorical stand
point and by no means on points of
facts, because wherever the Negro is
to be found in the United States it is
plain to be seen that the fifteenth
amendment has been the one thing
that has elevated him from degrade
ton to a higher and loftier plane of
civilization. While the fifteenth
amendment to certain degree forces
public recognition for the Negro it
does not force social recognition,
hence there is no probability of the
two races conflicting from a social
standpoint, and yet the fifteenth
amendment, where it is observed,
gives him the rights to demand his
public rights, which he has in many
instances done and the opposite race
has been none the loser thereby.

The political checkerboard in the
state of Alabama is to say the least
assuming phase that is attracting
much attention both North and South.
A constitution went into effect in Ala
bama last Thanksgiving Day, which
was passed ostensibly for the purpose
of DISTINGUISHING a large number of
colored voters in that state, but, if
reports be true, this new constitution
will not work as smoothly as it's pro-
motors thought it would. In adopting
the Constitution a clause as to the
registration clerks was also adopted,
which gave them the absolute say as
to whom could and could not register
in the state. Now it transpires that
the Governor, the State Auditor and
makes up the membership of the state
board that appoints these registration
clerks and all of those gentlemen are
candidates for reelection. In the
past the $4,000 or 10000 colored votes
in the black belt have been counted as
casting vote, whether they voted or
not, and scheming politicians have
used this to their own selfish ends.
The present Governor of the state
halls from the black belt and in the
past he has used it as political lever
age to become Governor Of the state.
The Auditor is from the white belt
and is radically opposed to the colored
men voting. The commissioner of
agriculture is an appointee of the Gov
ernOr and it is natural for him to
side with the Governor in appointing
registration clerks Now the belief
is quite common in that state that the
registration clerks in the black belt
intend registering every colored man
therein and use them toward the re-
election Of the Governor, and hence
the Constitution, which was intended
to disfranchise the colored voters
promises to give them more power in
future elections than they have ever
had in the past. Some one has writ
ten, "all things come to him who
waits" and this seems to be the case
of the disfranchised voters in Ala
bama.
