 ALABAMA LEADER
THEY URGE UPON THE PREsl. DENT THE NECESSITY OF BOOK. FIR WAsHlNGToN's REMOVAL AS POLITICAL ADVISER.

Boston, September 1.-The Suffrage league of Boston, negro organization tonight adopted resolutions declaring:
 ''In as much as Booker T. Washington has glorifed the revised constitutions of the south, has minimized the Jim Crow outrage, has attacked the wisdom of the 14th and 18th amendments to the. con- stitution, has deprecated the primary importance of the ballot. has preached to the colored people of silent submission to intolerable conditions and makes his people by-word and laughing stock be- fore the world, he is not fit leader for the colored race. and no President who recognizes him as a political leader should receive the colored vote of the north
 Therefore since President Roosevelt has given him charge of the appointment of all negroes In every state in the union and has made him the negro adviser as to all policies affecting the colored Ameri- cans, in the interests of our race we call upon President Roosevelt to dispense with Mir Washington as our political spokesman.
 at Harpoot to try in the regular courts the charges against fifty Armenions &C., cused of traffcing in arms and engaging in other seditious acts. Among the &C., cused is Professor Tenekdjian of the American college, whose treatment in prison pending his trial was also ordered to be improved.
 Pressing for Settlement.
 MT. Leischman is pressing for a def1- nite settlement of a number of matters on which agreements were reached with the Turkish authorities last year, but which in spite of frequent promises on the part of the porte have never been executed. For instance, naturalizea American Is still in prison at Tripoli, Syria, although the porte has frequently informed MT. Leischman that the au- thorities at Beirut, who have jurisdiction over Tripoli, had been ordered to lib- crate him.
 For General Effect.
 Yesterday MT. Leischman received telegram from Rear Admiral Cotton dated from Genoa, Italy, Sunday evening aunonncing that the. UniteSt States WIZ ships Brooklyn and San Francisco would arrive off Beirut at the end of this week.
 
 the despatch of the warships to Turkish waters not solely to the Magessen af- fair, but to the general dissatisfaction of the authorities at Washington at the non-fulfllment of the porte's promises in regard to pending questions and to the determination of President Roosevelt to show Turkey that she cannot trife with American representations. Diplo- matic circles here generally approve of the energetic action of the United States, which it is pointed out. is amply justified by the bad faith of Turkey and it is felt he4e that the appearance of the United States warships in Turkish waters will lead to the immediate settlement of the pending dispute.
 Nothing is so impressive to the porte as naval demonstration and the diplo- mats claim this will be specially notice- able in the agreements regulating the international political affairs of Turkey.
