Constitution

Constitution.
Newport, r. l., June 29.-The new
cup yacht Reliance proved to-day her
worth as a heavy weather boat, when
she defeated the Columbia and Consti-
tuition in stiff easterly breeze and
lumpy sea over a sO-mile course, fif-
teen miles of which We're beat to
windward. The Reliance sailed the
course in four minutes and seconds
less time than did the Columbia. and
minutes and As seconds than did
the Constitution.
All the racing in which these boats
have participated up to to-day has
but this afternoon there was a smash
ing, good. wholesale breeze blowing,
and considerable @lmp to the water,
conditions that are exactly suited to
the Columbia. With her owner Z. d.
Morgan, at the helm. the old cup de-
fender sailed a grand race, reaching
the windward mark only one minute
and Sc seconds astern of the Reliance
and l minute 81 seconds ahead of the
Constitution.
On the run home, however the Re-
lance pulled away steadily from her
opponents, while the Constitution gain
ed considerably on the Columbia.
Capt Barr sailed the new sloop for
all there was in her and gave her
rigging and spars a thorough testing.

series given by the New York Yacht
Club, and there will be racing every

IDEAS ON RACE QUESTION
SUBMITTED BY NEGROES.
Afro-American Press Association
Issues m Address.

Louisville. Ky, June 29.--At the an
nual session of the American
Press Association held to-day an ad-
dress, dealing with the race question,
was unanimously adopted for issuance
to the country at large.
The address calls on the people to en-
force the principles of good government
in "The present crisis in the history of
the Afro-American people, when a sys-
tematic and thoroughly organized
movement begun in 1863 is working
with malicious and malignant energy
to utterly destroy the civil and politi-
cal rights of those for whom we stand
in some part as spokesman.
1--WE resent the reiterated statement
that this is a White mans country
1t was made in its inception and de-
-o9dssIII '9Idoad slI 10 lie 80 lu5mdoIOA
tive of race, and the federal constitu-
ton specifically places all of its cti-
zens on equality before the law.
The persistent effort which has been
made and is being made to nu1lify the
suffrage, guarantees of the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth amendments to the fed
eral constitution. Is fraught with as
much danger to the peace and security
of the federal union as was the effort
to hitch slavery upon the constitution
of the country prior to 1860.
We again direct attention to the
effect produced by the license of mob
spirit We do this not because we are
the victims in most part of the license,
but because 1t has become a national
problem with which the nation in its
public opinion and it's laws must deal
or ultimately 20 down to ruin in tine
mad overflow of anarchistic passion
and fury. 1t Is a national problem in
which we have only coordinate in
terest."
The address closes with an indorse-
ment of President Roosevelt's attitude
on this and other questions affecting
public morality.
The meeting was presided over by
Cyrus Field Adams, assistant registrar
of the treasury. The following OFF,
GERS were elected: President, c. F.
Adams. Chicago; vice president, VIII

NOT DEAD, BUT SLEEPING.
1t Is So Reported of the Manchurian
Question at Washington.

Washington, June 29.-It is indicated
to-day that the Manchurian question
may be permitted to rest temporarily,
so far as action at this end of the line
is concerned, since Secretary Hay has
left the city for two-weeks' vacation
and Count Cassini the Russian am
bassador, is about to sail for Europe.
There are indications, too, that the
Russian government has found it pos
sible to shape her policy respecting
Manchuria so as to be more acceptable
to the United States. Secretary Hay
and Count Cassini within the last
week have conferred upon this subject
and it is apparent that there have
been some developments, which Off
Gals do not care to make public at
this time.
In the negotiations with China for a
commercial treaty that government has
been insistent upon the opening or
certain ports in Manchuria, and the
new turn appears to have given a
more hopeful feeling in that direction.

WANTS TO FINISH HER.
Trieg Company Makes n Request for

Washington, June 29.-Mr. Myers, re-

Richmond, va, contractors for the
construction of the United States
steamer Galveston, the revenue cut
ter Mohawk, and a dredge for the War
Department, which failed some time
ago. and Mr.. Newton, president of the
First National Bank of Richmond, rad
an interview to-day with Secretary
Shaw and Mr.. Shoemaker, chief of
the revenue cutter service.
On behalf Of the Trigg Company an
application was made for the Treasury
Department to allow the company to
take charge of the Mohawk, as soon
as she is released by the courts, and
complete her for the government. 1t
was decided, however, that under the
law no contract can be entered into
for the completion of the ship with
out having invited proposals for the
work, when the contract will go to the
lowest responsible bidder.
Under this ruling it is not unlikely
that the Trigg Company will qualify
and submit bid for the work.
