DR. PARKHURST ON
 NEGRO QUESTION
HE ECHOES SENTIMENT VOICED BY CLEVELAND = SAYS NOT MUCH HERoISM WAS SHOWN IN CONSTRUCTING PEACE.

Atlanta, Ga. May 10.-The Rev. Dr. delivered the annual convention sermon before the national conference of Chari- ties and Correction The Baptist taberna- cle. the largest auditorium in the city, was crowded to hear the New York cler- gyman.
 Dr. ParEhurst compared the case of the convict to that of the emancipated negro. upon this point saying in part:
 ''The instance of the convict Is in princi- pie exactly what occurred In the case of the blacks. Emancipation pushed the bolt for them; it let them out into the sun shine. There was a great deal of heroism in the course of the war, north and south. but there was not much statesmanship in the construction of peace, and one of the radical mistakes made was in suppos- ing that altering the colored mans condi- tion, altered the colored man; that letting a wolf out of cage domesticates the wolf; that substituting coat and trousers a man, and that emancipation not only relieved the slave of his letters but quail fled him to be a citizen.
 T heard MT. Cleveland state this in New York three weeks ago in terms of that strength and appreciation which or dinarily characterize his utterances upon such matters.
 All the comment that the weighty words of the ex-President require Is the course of events during the past thirty years.
 "A large percentage of people are at a disadvantage and no small percentage are put under tremendously heavy handicap; and the organization that 1t has been my privilege to address today exists primarily for the purpose of reliev- ing the handicap, getting the people that are in the rear as near as possible to the front row, minimizing inequalities. encouraging the man that is lame in leg, brain or natural opportunity and who Is hypochondriacally Jogging on behind"

POLICE FAIL TO
 SOLVE MYSTERY
OFFICIALS ARE PUZZLED OVER THE LEAVING OF BOX OF DINA MITE ON cUNARD LINE DOCK AT NEW YORK.

New York, May 10.-The police. so far, have failed to solve the mystery sur rounding the leaving of box of dynamite on the Cunard line dock yesterday. There Is a diversion of opinion among the of- fcials as to whether the matter was in- tended to be a hoax or not. but all agree that the possibilities of a great explosion and a great loss of life were many.
 supt George E. Murray of the bureau of combustibles said today that there was no detonating caps attached to the dyna- mite sticks and that without these caps 1t was not likely that the dynamite would have exploded from a fuse. He says. however, that if the box had been given a sudden jar at the time the fuse burned down to the dynamite. an explosion might experimented with the clock work and concluded that 1t had run about five hours when found and 1t still had about three hours to run before operating the fire lever He does not believe that a hoax was intended.
 Police Commissioner Green said today that 1t had been suggested to him that the whole thing was a hoax, but that the suggestion would not divert him from his purpose of having the matter sifted to the bottom.
 This Is too grave a matter" he said. "to be considered lightly. although 1t be a hoax. I shall try to find the person or persons who placed the dynamite on the pier"

UNIQUE DISCUSSION OF
 CANAL BY A COLOMBIAN

within one hundred or two hundred years, develop into strong nation and be able to recover sovereignty on the isthmus
 Senor Pulecio says there is nothing against police control or mixed tribunals on the isthmus, so long as Colombian laws prevail He says as Colombia la bors under a load of 65O,O00.0O0 pesos of paper money, the present generation and it's descendants must be saved. He pro- poses the following plan:
 The United States pay Colombia for the canal concession the sum of $26,O0O, 000 without discount concession or reduction and sl,00O,O yearly for the canal zone. Colombia Is to be free from any claims which may arise against the canal com pany. The United States Is to recognize the sovereignty of Colombia on the isthmus The other conditions put down by Senor Pulecio are the same as have been specified in the treaty.
 The conviction of the Colombian con gress for June 20 is believed by those acquainted with government affairs, to mean that President Marroquin is confi- dent of having sufficient support to assure the approval of the canal treaty.
 Senator Obaldia has just published a strongly worded accusation of Generals Herrera and Perras for the part they took as leaders in the last revolution.

Hopeful Sign, Says swanson.

Representative Swanson of Virginia sees in the reappearance of former President Cleveland upon the political stage a hope ful sign regardless of any aspirations for third term the former President may entertain.
 MT. Cleveland can never be nomina- ted" says MT. Swanson, but it will un- doubtedly be a good thing for the party to get as much discussion over the can didates and platform as is possible.
 "One-third of the delegates to the next national convention" continued MT. Swanson, will in my opinion consist of men who will be controlled by w. J. Bryan, the former democratic nominee; another third will consist of the so-called re-organizers; while those who remain will go to the convention prepared to frame the best platform and nominate the best man available I believe the lat ter will finally control, and the candidate selected and the platform promulgated will restore harmony in the party and appeal so strongly to the independent vote that the democratic ticket will win.
 My personal choice for the presidential nomination is Senator Arthur P. German of Maryland. I think he would make an ideal President. Whether he could be elected or not Is another question. I am inclined to believe that Judge Alton B. Parker of New York would make the strongest candidate the party could put forward. From the present outlook either German or Parker will be nominated"

q have lately been in consultation with many of the leading democrats of New York" remarked Hon. John Wesley Gaines of Tennessee today.
 "The concensus of opinion among them is overwhelming in favor of the nomina- ton of Judge Alton P. Parker in 1904. Some of the most prominent mch in the party declared to me that with Parker as our nominee there need be no fear of getting the electoral vote of Sew York. Not one of these men consid dsred 1t wise or at all practicable to choose Mr. Cleve- land for the head of the ticket The present wave of popularity connected with the ex-President is strictly sffervcs- cent, and has no element of solidity. There is not a single southern state that coul be counted on to send a Cleveland dele gation to the next national convention.
 Judge Parker has every requisite that could be asked. He Is looked upon as a jurist of the highest calibef, and the men who know him best are his most enthusiastic supporters. As against Mir Roosevelt he would be the choice of powerful element. The opposition to MT. Roosevelt in New York city surprised me by its magnitude and intensity. On every side I heard of 1t and from men of the highest social and business stand ing"

Panama, May 10.-Gerardo Puleeio. a prominent member of the conservative party, discusses the canal question in a recent issue of the Correo Nacional, published at Bogota. He says the renew al of the canal concession granted by President Sam Clemente Is legal the gov ernment having constitutional power to take this step. No compa3y no European government is willing tosrislz any money in the canal venture after the DeLesseps' failure, says Senor Pulecio therefore the United States only can undertake the construction of the canal with chances of success.
 Colombia never enjoyed effective sov- ereignty on the isthmIs because the United States landed troops there when ever it wanted to and even denied Co., lombians the innocent right to kill each other"
 Still in the canal treaty Colombian sov- ereignty on the isthmus should be dis tinctly recognized. argues Senor Pulecio, not only to calm the nerves of apprehen- sive patriots but because Colombia may,

Thousands of Dollars Worth of Property Destroyed and Hun-
 dredS Are Homeless
BLAZE IS BELIEVED ID
 HAVE INCENDIlRY ORIGIN
Mayor Says City VIII Oppose Any Aid Being Asked from Outside Can ada, and Believes City Can
 Handle It Alone.

Ottawa, Ont, May 10.-A fire, suspected of being of incendiary origin, this after noon and evening destroyed hundreds of houses and millions of feet of lumber in this city John White, who has just been released from the penltentiary after serv- Ing a term of imprisonment for arson, was caught near where the fire was first dls- covered He was taken to the police sta- ton and will be charged with starting to- days confagration.
 The fire originated within a stones throw of where the great Hull fire of April 26, 1900, was checked. The Hull fire started on the opposite side of the river and spread to the Ottawa side. de- stroying millions of dollars worth of prop erty.
 Several Blazes.
 Two hours before the principal fire start ed, two smaller blazes were discovered and quickly extinguished in the lumber yards near the Canadian Pacific railroad. It was 3;3O o'clock when the third was discovered When the brigade arrived ai the scene 1t was found that the water main had been damaged and no water could be obtained. When the brigade did get water. the fire was utterly beyond it's control There is a large cliff whif.l ex- tends from the ottawa river Into the cunr ner of Margaret and Preston streets. The fire area was on the flats below the cliff. At two or three points 1t came very near getting over the cliff, and had 1t done so, nothing would have saved the city. At 9:3o tonight the fire was under con- trol and was confined to a district one mile long and quarter of a mile wide.
 10,ooo,000 Feet of Lumber Burned. Fifteen million feet of lumber was de- stroyed. It belonged chieAy to J. R. Booth and was sold. The loss on lumber will be about $3OO.O GOO. The
 lngs burned were principally
 houses and stores. They were since the last great fire and we | solid brick or brick veneered, as would not permit of any other kind | erected. The loss on the buildings Is mated at various figures tonight. Ma | Cook said that there were from 800 to | families homeless or about 2000 in viduals. All the parties are supposed
 be well insured.
 The mayor said the city woule any aid being asked from outSide ada, and personally he thought that city should grapple with the situatiol without any appeal for outside help. Mayor Cook estimates the loss on buildings at $S0000O, making a total loss | of $G00 000

Planting Plan for cuIIman.

A planting plan has recently been pre- pared by the bureau of forestry for 1900 acres of land in Cullman county, Ala bama, owned by Emil Ahlrichs, and valu- ed at from $1.25 to s per acre. The plant ing will be done in several different To- calties, but all in Cullman county. Work will begin as soon as growth ceases rext fall, and will continue through the win ter, except in freezing weather. The first seasons work will include the plant ing of loblolly pine seedlings collected in the forest on a tract of 16O acres of open woods. Two hundred and eighty acres will be planted with chestnut, white oak and post oak A seed bed will be prepared for the raising of loblolly pine for a tract of $40 acres, as it Is considered not advisable to use entirely stock collected from the forest.
 All this planting is based on the fact that while immense quantities of loblolly are being cut in that locality, there Is little or no reproduction on the land In question, due chiefly to annual fires set to improve the pasture. MT. Ahlrichs will have a fire patrol system.
 It Is purposed also to treat tract of GAO acres to improve the natural repro duction by the prevention of fires.
 Labor may be obtained at $15 per month. hence the work can be done at very small cost It is estimated that the planting will cost only from $2 to s per acre.
 Loblolly pine is to be planted for the production of lumber. Chestnut for posts and telegraph poles and oak for railroad ties.

Contest of Republican CaRdi-
 date Amounts to Nothing.
GOSSIP FROM WASHINGTON
Bureau of Forestry Prepares a Plan for Planting 1900 Acres of Land in cuIlman county-Gaines
 Talks of Judge Parker.
BY PATTERSON srEALEY.

Washington, May 10. = Especially = The contest brought by the defeated republi- can candidate for mayor of Baltimore against his successful opponent will not amount to much. MT. McLane will prove his right to the mayoralty and no doubt show up more negro repeating wards of the republican managers than the demo- crats. In these days 1t is quite a fad for a beaten candidate to contest the election, especially if his competitor has not an overwhelming majority.
 The issue of the Baltimore mayoralty campaign will give the democrats fresh hope of carrying Maryland this fall and electing a United States senator. The margin of votes was so small that the democrats cannot gather great consola- ton from the election, but they are in far better shape than if the city had gone heavily republican, which would have been a handicap for the autumn campaign.
 The outconp can hardly be interpreted in any other light than a setback for Senator McComas, notwithstanding the fact that the candidate of his choice for the mayoralty nomination was defeated at the primaries. The republicans are fast ceasing to reckon him in their plans and his opponents within the party are declaring that since MT. McComas be- came senator the party has been losing all Its fights, all it's state offices and all the elections except that for President. Of course, MT. McComas may yet sur prise his party opponents by a rally, but things have been going decidedly against him
 It may sound rather surprising that ex-Senator Wellington is being spoken of as chairman of the state central com mittee. The republicans realize that they are short of leaders and want effec- tive men to pull them through the cam paign Mr. Wellington is said to have repented of some of his grievous mis- takes and there Is a spirit of forgiveness abroad. Gossip which emanates from the same source mentions Judge and ex-Kep- resentative Henry Stockbridge of Balti- more, as the most promising aspirant within the republican ranks for the sem atorship, and ex-Governor Lowndes as the candidate for governor this year. The democratic prospects are spurring the republicans to look to old-time foe men who have the prestige of victory with the people. It Is not likely, how ever, that former Senator Wellington will again play an important part in Maryland or national politics.
