Senator TilIman Out Wesa

United Strtes Senator Tillman de-
livered an address on THE Negro
Question From Southern Stand
point" before an audience OF 800
university students, citizens and law
makers at Madison, Wis, Thursday
night. lie was greeted with the stir
ring university yell. A rather sensa-
tional incident occurred while Senator
lllman was discussing the Indianola
poStofiice case. After stating the
southern view OF the affair, he asked
whether the audience approved OF
PRESIDENT RooSevelt'S action apd there
was applause. Being uncertain wheth-
er the applause was intended as an in
dorSement OF the presidents. action,
the senator asked how it was meant.
lie was told that it was meant as an
endorsement OF the president. This
aroused the senator. Hes went in
TO the details OF the Indianola affair
and when he concluded asked his hear
erS whether it would not have been
better for the president To have kept
the office opened and punished the few
hot-heads that caused the trouble
than To have punished the entire COM
munity by closing the Office, request
Ing those TO raise their hands who
supported the presidents action. Only
few raised their hands. In the
main his address was much like his
other recent utterances on the same
subject. He condemned the negro to
eternal inferiority to the white man.

AN ELEPHANT DIES AT SEA.
Whole Crew Of IA Steamer Was Kent
Busy BY lingo.

The elephant lingo, said to have
been larger than Jumbo, died at sea
on the steamer Georgia, which arrived
at New York "Wednesday from Liver
pool. The animals death occurred
March 18th and the huge body was
buried at sea. An animal show brought
Jingo in London. The elephant had
not travelled since infancy, and from
the time of sailing from Liverpool il
fretted and pined away, lingo was 22
years old, II feet high, weighed six
ton and was valued at $4,000.
For 90 hours preceding its death
the mammoth beast trumpeted with
out cessation and twice knocked down
It's keeper, Thomas Lawrence, who at
tempted To pacify it. The cries OF the
elephant aroused the leopardS and til
gers which were on the ship and they,
too, joined in the cry which for three
days kept the crew Of the Georgia on
it's guard.
As each day passed lingo seemed TO
grow weaker he Squirmed in his mar
row cage in an effort To- get out. He
was securely chained to the cage i'm
such position in the aft hatchway
that escape was impossible. On the
hfth day out the animals condition
became such that Lawrence gave him
whiskey and kept him under the i'm.
fiuence of liquor for almost three DAYS.
1T was then that lingo became even
more savage than ever and began the
trumpeting.
The entire crew went to Lawrence's
aSSiStanceS on the nth day and join
ed with him in an effort to pacify
lingo. They all failed, however, and
twice the beast got its trunk through
the bars Of the cage and struck the
Keeper with such force that he was
thrown To the deck. The other animals
joined i'm the great noise until about 9
O'Clock on the morning of the 18th,
when suddenly Jingo's cries ceased.
Lawrence ran to the cage to find the
animal dead. His carcass was examin-
ed and after it was decided il could
not he stuffed it was thrown over
board

Many Want Jobs.

The News and Courier says the
most important fact which has come
out in connection with the Crum
situation is that more than one hun
dredrcd white men have applied for
positions in the Custom House under
the negro collector. If this list could
be secured for publication il would
open the eyes of the city, or, at least,
that was the statement made by a
prominent Republican. The name
oi wcll-know citizen has been men
tioncd in connection with the deputy
cuIl"ctorShip and the chances favor
ms appointment. Crum has made no
promises, SO far as the politicians can
ascertain. although il has leaked out
IN the quiet Otlicc-Sccking circles that
the list OF candidates is rcSplcndcnt
with the names of men, some of whom
would naturally he regarded as oppos-
ed To the nomination of a negro To

which obtained In the south he said
was that If Il white man did not think
himself socially better than the negro
he was not half as good.
In the matter of these appointments
Mr.. Money said the president should
consider conditions i'm the south. Ap-
pointing negroes to office i'm the south
was most obnoxious and repugnant to
that section. 1t was impossible, he
declared, for any one raised north of
Mason and Dixon's line to know any
thing about the negro. He concluded
by saying that there had been no in
tention of creating any disturbance
whatever in Indianola, but the idea of
holding public meeting was that it
would apprise the postmistress of the
wishes of the citizens and that it
might lead to her resignation. The
basis OF all the trouble, he said. was
the referee system as it prevails i'm
the south
