CARNEGIE MAKES EN- LAUGH
Germans Think His Recent Utterances on
Economics Amusing.

Berlin, Oct. 24.-Andrew Carnegie's
suggestion in his rectOrial address at
st. Andrews university, Wednesday,
that Emperor William organize the
United States of Europe" has been
received with laughter by the Ger
mans. The NOssische Zeitung calls it
Il ''nonsensical proposition" adding:
''Since not even Il customs union is
possible between Germany and Aus
tria how vain it is TO propose Il politi-
cal union. Should the emperor follow
the advice it would expose him to re-
pulse after repulSe."
The BOersen ZPitung curtly eX-
presses the hope that Carnegie will
''let antiquated Europe alone to work
out its own salvation" The Post,
though saying the idea is utterly Chin
erical, thinks Carnegie complimented
the German people and the emperor by
supposing they could carry out theproj-
ect. The Lokal AnZeiger says: The
only way Germany can make head
against the American danger is for
Emperor William TO continue his ener-
getic influence in developing the coun-
try economically"

BEEF QUESTION
UP IN ENGLAND
Plea for the Admission of Live Cat
tie From Argentine is
Denied.

London, Oct. 24.-IIanbury, presi-
dent of the board of agriculture, re-
plying to a deputation which waited
upon him to request him TO open Brit
ish ports to the importation of live
cattle from Argentina, refused to do
so until he was satisfied that no cattle
disease existed in Argentina, and that
the Argentina government was taking
proper steps to prevent the introduc-
tion of disease into argentina.
The members OF the deputation
pointed out that the Australian sup
plies We're at their lowest ebb because
of prolonged droughts in Australia,
while the shipments OF frozen meat
from the United States had consider
ably fallen off, owing TO the short sup
ply. Traders, they added. We're now
compelled to pay 40 to 100 per cent.
more for frozen meat than at the same
time last year. The only hope of re-
lief was the readmission of live cattle
from Argentina.
Hanbury admitted it was his per-
sonal belief that Argentina was at
present free from cattle disease, but
he was not satisfied that the govern
ment of Argentina had taken the pre-
caution to prevent its reintroduction.
He was pressing Argentina to adopt
regulations similar TO the British.

TROUBLE IN THE MACeABERsl,
Great Record Keeper Watson and Major
BOYntOn Cannot Get Along To-
gether.

Port Huron, Mich, Oct. 24.-As a
result of the strained relations between
Great Record Keeper Thomas Watson,
of the knights of the Modern Mac
cabees, and Major N 5. Boynton. great
commander of the order, Watson ten
dered his resignation to take effect on
Nov. /, or as soon thereafter as he
can be relieved 10y Il successor.
The resignation of Watson comes as
great surprise to the membership
in this city. as it had been supposed
that he had been working in perfect
harmony with Boynton since the great
camp meeting at Marquette, when
Boynton won on the issue of eXpan-
sion, and Watson, who opposed him on
this question, was reelected.
Those familiar with the inner work
ings of the order. however. state that
there has been no peace, although it
had been given out that there was
peace. From the first night after the
return of both men to Port Huron,
when public reception was given for
them, there has been friction, and the
bitter feeling has only been intensified
since that time.

of troops from the strike region at
such time as Gen. Miller may desig-
nate.
hilkesbarre, Oct. 24.-There was a
slight improvement in the coal min
ing situation in the Wyoming and
Lackawanna regions this morning.
but in the Schuylllill and Lehigh re
gions there is but little change from
yesterday. General resumption is
not looked for until Monday.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 2.-The re-
sumption of mining throughout the an
thracite region was not as general yes
terday as was expected. Unlocked for
difficulties We're encountered in the
shape of water and accumulated gas,
and dangerous roofs which threatened
to fall and entomb the workers were
also discovered i'll many of the col
lieries. In quite few of the
collieries the machinery and everything
else connected with the hOisting of coal
acted badly and it was found neces-
sary to close down after steam had
been raised. The number of mines
in operation is given as a little less
than two-thirdS of the total number,
but the output of coal was less than
half the normal.
AS was to be expected there was
more or less dissatisfaction among the
old employees over the reopening of the
mines. Where it was decided not to
resume work for a few days the men
took it that the coal companies did not
want their services, and many COM
plants reached President MiteheIl's
headquarters. But as the day wore on
and the true situation became known
there was better feeling all around.
1t looks as though the union engineers
were going TO have some difficulty get
ting back their old places. At nearly
every mine where the striking en-
gineers made applications for work
they were told that there were no
vacancies. A large number of car
penters are also out in the cold.
A delegation of carpenters waited
on President Mitchell and told him of
their grievances. The chief of the min
ers' union advised his callers to wait
a few days and see if employment
would not be offered them. President
Mitchell believes that when general re-
sumption takes place there will be few
of the mine employees idle. The only
friction reported between union and
non-union men was at several collieries
in the Wyoming region. where the min
ers objected to be lowered into the
mines by nOn-union engineers.

there is serious. The striking dock la
borers are terrorizing the town. and

They even utilized tons of Goldfish

to stop the charges of the detach-
ments of cavalry which arrived there.
A number of cranes were thrown into

mense heaps of straw and some bar
rels of oil lying beside the dock were
set on fire. All the houses at Dunllirk
are closed and the stores have been
barricaded.

Terre HaTe. Ind, Oct. "a. - The

JOHN C. CALHoUN's CHALLENGE
Could Easily BE Taken Up Now. Says the
Colored Orator.

Proceeding the orator said: John
G. Calhoun expressed the popular no
tiOn when he said that if Il negro
could sconjuSate the Greek verb he
would be willing to admit him to the
brotherhood. Some time ago l stood by
his moss covered tomb and thought of
what he said. Could 1 call him up
tonight l could tell him of young ne
groes in the Carolinas who can con-
jugate the Greek verb with as much
facility as any of his closer kin. L
could tell him of negroes in Harvard.
Yale and Chicago universities who can
conjugate that verb with as much ac-
curacy as he.
More, / could tell him of a negro
who has written Greek book that
has found its way to Harvard-that
Calhoun never did. Today nobody
doubts the negros ability to learn.
What Douglas has done in eloquence,
Washington III education, Chesmitt in
fiction, Dunbar in poetry, Tanner in
art, and Dubois in scholarship has
demonstrated to the world that there is
no race in brain.
Possessing nothing at the close of
the war. shut up for the most part
from gainful pursuits, colored citizens
today pay taxes on $4O00O0.00O worth
of property. In my state, Georgians
have dug $15,O0O.0OO out of the hills of
their native state"
Among the papers read was one by
Secretary G. j. Ryder, of New York.
The secretary stated that the income
from the churches this year was ST.
795 less than for the average for the
last three years. Sunday schools show
an increase of 1904. Endeavor So
cieties have increased their gifts $3.50.
The year shows an increase from in
dividuaIs of $7.913 above the average
for the last three years.

NEGRO IN THE SOUTH
Topic of Discussion at the Meet
ing of the American Mis-
sionary Association.
BLACK INFIDELITY THREATENED
So One of the Negroes Advocates
Fears-What the Negro Has
Achieved.

New London, Conn, Oct, 24.-The
convention of the American Mission
airy association came to an end last
night after President Washington
GLADDEN., of Ohio, who was reelected,
had delivered the annual address. y
feature of the meeting has been the
discussion of the status of the negro.
Along with this discussion an ad-
dress by Rev. Ii. III. Proctor, of Geor-
gia, was listened to with particular
interest in connection with IA report
OH southern church work by Rev. Ed
ward NJ. Noyes, ID. D., of Massachu-
setts. "As a race" said Mr.. Proctor,
1--WE form one-tenth of the nation and
one-third of the south. We shall con-
tribute ut least that proportion toward
tearing down or building up.
Four Million Negroes Unchurched.
There are 100000 negroes in the
south. and of these mt least 100000
are outside of any church-as many
were set free a generation ago. One
half the black race is unchurched and
one-half of the existing churches are
totally incompetent to meet the relig-
iouS needs of their members. Fully
one-haIf of the ministers are yet unpre-
pared mentally and spiritually to prop
erly minister to the people.
There is Il real breach between the old
church and the new negro. Unless it
be filed we shall reap Il crop of black
infidels. The young negro today is do
ing an immense amount of thinking.
He is thinking on questions of religion
Unless the church can answer the
deep questions he is pondering and
propounding he will turn away from
it."
Things Done That Couldn't BE Done.
Referring to the achievements of the
negro the orator said, and his remarks
were continually interrupted by APP
plause: What marvellous results have
been wrought in the intellectual life
of the negro. When you begun your
work among us our mental ability was
greatly deprecated. 1t was said we
could not read; our eyes were too
sleepy. but we did learn to read. We
could not learn to write; our fingers
were too clumsy. but we did learn to
write. We could not learn to count:
our skulls We're too thick. but we did
learn to figure. We could not learn
science: our intellectual stock was
watered; we did learn the SCIENCES"
