Tie department If politi .al police III
Berlin has noted without establishment
the several instances recently of danger
to the life of President Roosevelt, only
wondering that they have been SO few
and SO evidently without intelligent di-
rection. Inquiries show that the arrests
of persons suspected Of designs against
members of the imperial family of Ger
many average one daily. The arrests
seldom are reported in the newspapers,
and then only against the wishes of the
political police, for the latter believe
that the mere mention of such arrests
prompts ill-regulated minds to plan kill
ing the sovereign. Fifty definite clews
to such plots have been investigated dur
ing the last nine months, largely upon
anonymous cews. The members of the
imperial family, however, are so hedged
in by police precautions that it is diff
cult for the mentally diseased to get
near them.

French Millionaire Seeks Grant OF
Territory on African Coast.
The London Daily Mail says Jacques
Lebaudy, the French millionaire, who is
supposed to be scheming to establish an
empire for himself on the west coast of
Africa, in reality is planning a great
state to be peopled by negroes from the
United States. He desires first to obtain
the consent of the European powers, who
claim to have influence over the territory
on which he has designs, to establish
along the northwest coast of Africa an
empire larger than Rhodesia, to be emit
tied the United States of Liberia. Here
he proposes to found a negro state, peo-
pied by negroes from America, especially
from the Southern States, who would re-
ceive grants of land and be encouraged
to found country of their own.

JAPAN GIVES REASONS.

Sending of Troops to Korea May Mean
Possession for n Time.
Information received through official
sources at st. Petersburg shows that the
explanation of Japan's moving troops to
Corea is intended to remove suspicion
concerning her intention. The number OF
troops moved is estimated between 5000
and 10000. Japan explains that the
movement is part of plan of expert
mental mobilization for the purpose of
showing her ability to mobilize con-
siderable force in connection with the
friction between Japan and China, but
that it has no connection with differences
between Japan and any other power.

TAKE VOTE FROM NEGROES.
Fiye-sixths of Colored Population in
Virginia DISTINGUISHED.

Registration books have closed in
Richmond. Va, and the result shows
that 5000 negroes have been disfranchis-
ed. Less than thousand are now quail
flied to vote and they are no longer a
factor in local politics. Inquiries in the
State at large justify the belief that at
least five-sixths of the negroes in Vir-
ginia have not now the right to vote and
they will no longer have to be reckoned
in the calculations. The Republicans
contend that their party will be largely
augmented from the Democratic ranks,
as there is now no fear of possible negro
domination in the future.
