Thrust in Answer to the Letter
of Minister Henry White.

Berlin, Nov. 29.-The Kreuz Zeitung,
discussing Ambassador Whites recent
letter to Henry Seligman, of Frank

Jews, says the paper. are far better
situated than the American negroes.
They are not treated with the same
contempt and do not suffer lynch law,
nor are Jewish funerai professions in
Roumania mobbed, as in New York

WILL HAVE RIFLE CONTEST.

or the Appropriation of s2i 800
$4,000 Is Set Aside for Riot Duty,
$4,000 for the Rifle Contest, which
VIII BE Held Ina savannah as Usu-
al and $4,000 for ArmOry Rent.

Purposes Can DO SO ON Conditions
Named.
Atlanta, Feb. "a conference was
held to-day between Gov. Gambler,
AdJt. Gen. j. w. Robertson, Inspector
General w. G. Qbear, and Assistant
Adjutant General Phil. G. Byrd for the
purpose of considering the matters
passed on by the Military Advisory
Board and taking some action with
reference to spending the military
fund. Practically all the recommen-
dations of the Advisory Board were
adopted with the exception of that con-
corning encampments. TWAS found on
investigation that after setting aside
$4,000 for riot duty the amount avail
able would fall short by several thou
sand dollars of doing all that was rec
commended by the Advisory Board, not
withstandng the fact that the board
made no provision for the annual rifle
contest. a branch of the service which
is deemed by many of the officers, of
great Importance.
In view of these facts and at the
solicitation of a majority of the officers
in the states service, the above named
officers at the conference unanimous
ly agreed that the best interests of the
service would be promulgated by con-
tlnuing to pay the bounty of $3.50 a
year to each company and setting
aside besides the $4,000 for riot duty
$4,000 for the rifle contest to be ex-
pended by the Inspector General of
Rifle Practice under direction of the
Governor. 1t is probable that the rifle
contest will, as usual, be held in Sa-
vannah.
Under this arrangement the military
fund of $21,500 will be expended as fol-
lows: Armory rent from October 1
1901 to October l, 1902, $13,5O0. Riot
duty. 5000. Rifle contest, $4,000. Total
$21, 500.
IL is understood that If the officers of
any regiment prefer to do so, the Gov
ernor will permit them to use the 81 :
500 which will go to each regiment for
armory rent, to pay the expenses of
an encampment as recommended by
the Advisory Board, provided the
friends OF the regiment or the town
at which the encampment is held will
supplement that amount with such an
amount as will pay the expenses of
an encampment for not less than seven
