Napoleon into the market with his
most available asset"
Jefferson was then president. and
the lecturer presented in a most pleas
ing manner, the principal correspond.
ence that passed between Jefferson
and the emissary Of the United States
in France relative to the purchase Of
the island Of New Orleans. This. 1t
seems. was the most that the Jeffer-
son administration hoped to accom-
plish. Monroe was sent to France to
assist Livingston, the envoy Of the I'm
tied States to complete the purchase
of the. island. When he reached
France he found Livingston negotiating
for the purchase Of the whole Of LOuisi-
ana. Already Great Britain vas NOV
ing on France, and to delay meant that
the English would soon enter the Mis-
sissippi, and take possession of New
Orleans. Without waiting for authori-
ty from the government, the ENJOYS
closed the treaty for the purchase Of
the whole of Louisiana, and in the Ian
guage Of the speaker, CLOSED the larg-
est real estate transaction in history"
The lecturer dwelt upon the oppo-
position with which the administration
was met at home. He showed that it
was the same kind Of opposition that
had presented itself in every instance
when territory has been annexed to
the United States.
The lecturer in treating Of the ef-
fects upon the history Of the world
arising from the purchase Of Louisi-
ans. described the two great English
speaking nations Of the world as
separating 1t the shores Of the Allan
tic. He traced Great Britain eastward
and the United States westward, until
today he describes them as meeting,
having completed the circuit, Of the
globe. He referred to the United

DROPPING THE NEGRO.

The republican executive committee
of Alabama has refused admittance to
negro delegates to the State Convention
which met at Birmingham today. This
action was the result ofseveral hours
struggle yesterday between those of the
new regime known as the Chilly Whites"
and those not in favor of barring out the
negroes. The elimination of the negro
was accomplished through the passage
of A resolution adopting the report of the
subcommittee, which was appointed at
the meeting of the full committee on
Saturday and which had passed on all
credentials presented by delegates
throughout the State. When this report
was read Yesterday not single negro $
name appeared upon it, although the
names of negro es were on the list OF
delegates from more than one county
when the credentials were given to the
subcommittee. Immediately following
a resolution to adopt the report as a
whole. there came from several parts OF
the house protests of vehement nature.
These protests kept coming in so iast
that at one time it looked as though the
resolution could not be passed. How,
ever the resolution finally was adopted
by vote of II to 10.

THE NEGRO ABROAD.

DR.. ID. Jonathan Phillips, colored, OF
Philadelphia, has returned home after
having passed the final examination of
the Royal College of Surgeons of Eng
land and the Royal College of Physicians
of London. During his stay gilmore than
five years abroad he visited some of the
chief medical centers on the Continent.
"America, after ALL" he said, "is the
best place for the negro, all things con-
sidered not excepting his social stand
ing. While public Accommodations abroad
may be obtained, it is generally made
plain that the negro is not welcome
guest; in some placeshe is refused on
the same plea as in sections of America
that they are filed up In travelling
in public conveyances where passengers
have compartments sufficient TO seat from
three to half a dozen, | often
found myself alone, other passengers
prefeiilg 10 crowd elsewhere 20 coming
to comfol ,able seat by m~ The same
conditions prevail on the Continent as in
England. Color caste prejudice is in as
pronounced form there as is to be found
anywhere in America. A lynching is as
likely to occur in the streets of London
whenever negro is in question, as it Is
likely to take place in Georgia. Senti-
ment in Europe toward the negro now
is far different from that of generation
ago. A case in point | witnessed in
London. There happened to be muir
der committed by colored sailor in the
toughest part in London where murder
is a daily occurrence; yet when this ne
gro murdered a white man the papers
made sensation of it and kept it up for
days. Such is the public sentim'nS
against the negro. | believe if thele
were as many negroes in England as
there are in America sentiment would be
worse against the negro in Europe than
it is toward him in the meanest State in
America. The negro is better under
stood and is as well treated in this
country as anywhere else"

METHODS OF INDUCING SLEEP

METHODS OF INDUCING SLEEP.
DIR. Steiner observed in Java a
method employed to induce sleep. 1t
consist in compressing the carotid ar
teries. The operator sits on the ground
behind the patient whose neck he seizes
with both hands. The index and
middle fingers are then pushed forward
into the carotids which are compressed
toward the spine. The patients respir-
alton becomes more rapid and more pro-
found and his head relaxes backward.
The method is absolutely harmless,
anasthesia is rapidly obtained and the
patient wakes promptly with no symp-
toms of nausea or malaise. DR.. Steiner
declares the method to be well known
in Java. where it is used to relieve
headache, sleeplessness, ETC., and points
out the fact that the carotid artery was
known to the ancients as arteria sopo-
rifera, and that its name in modern
Russian is 'ariery of sleep" He does
not seem to know that the method is
widely practiced in India. kipllng's
"Kim," for example, is put to sleep by
a process of the sort. DIR. Steiner ex-
perimented upon 80 Javanese and was
successful in all but five cases. lie sat
in front of the patient placing his right
hand on the left, his left hand on the
right side of the patients neck. When
the ends of his fingers met at the back
of neck he placed his thumbs back OF
and little below the angles OF the
lower jaw. The beating of the carotid
was felt, and then moderate pressure
toward the spine was applied. The loss
of consciousness was complete and, in
one case, an abscess was lanced with
out sensation on the patients part
