Detroit, March 25.-United States
Senator TillInan, Of South Carolina,
was greeted BY alternate storms Of ap-
plause and Kisses when he delivered
an impassj med address on the race
problem last night In Light Guard
armory, the audience being evidently
divided between upholders Of his ideas
and strenuous opponents of them. He
said that the north demanded majori-
ty rule, and added that there were
235,000 more negroes than white peo-
pie In South Carolina. at will mean
that more blood viii flow than was
shed in the civil war II you persist
in trying to subject us to the domina-
ton Of the blacks" he said
You butchered the Indians and shut
out the Chinaman, but had 1t been
known by the soldiers who surren-
dered with Lee that 1t was your devil
ish intent to set up the negro over the
white man we would have fought you
till now" Upon the senator's refer
ence to some OF Sherman's army as
bummers, chicken thieves and carpet
baggers, his audience broke out into
violerss Kissing.

NEED OF THE NEGROES
As Stated by coIored Men in
Position to Know What
They Are Saying.
TILLMAN's TALKS CALLED RAW
Not in Danger of Annihilation-
Archbishop Ireland on the
Color Line.

New York, March 23.-Bishop w.
B. Derrick, Of the New York diocese
of the African Methodist Episcopal
church, anu Rev. DR.. r. ID. Stinson,
commissioner of the Morris Brown col
lege, of Atlanta, Ca, an institution
for the education of negroes, adj
dressed a congregation of oclOred peo-
pie in the Bethel African Methodist
Episcopal church in this city yester-
day, and both were hopeful Of the fu-
ture of the colored race. Bishop Der
rick pointed out that education for
the masses, both white and black, in
the south is deficient, and continued:
What the co,ored people of the south
need is the passage of a bill like the
Blair measure in the last congress.
That bill is based on a sound con-
ception of the educational needs of the
southern negro.
Tillman Makes "Raw" Statements.
1--WE do not ask the nation to pen
sion u.s. We ask the nation, though,
to educate us so that we can support
ourselves" Speaking Of the belief
among northern people that colored
people are not safe in the south, DR..
Stinson said you think we are 60
ing to be annihilated down there some
day. That IS because some one like
Mr.. Tillman comes up here and makes
few raw statements. The fact of
the matter is that the governor him
self could not stop the punishment OIL
the negroes iii some cases where they
were guilty, even if he stood right
with the people who were taking the
law into their own hands. There are
just as many people-white people
south who oppose such things as there
are in the north"
Negroes Visit Archbishop Ireland.
Washington, March pa delega-
tion of members of the negro press
of the country, and of the negro Pen
and Pencil club, called on Archbishop
Ireland yesterday and expressed to
him their gratitude and appreciation
Of his stand in behalf of the negro.
Archbishop Ireland in. responding,
said that to bim the stars and stripes
had no meaning whatsoever unless
they mean the brotherhood of man.
The idea Of distinction being made
in civil and political matters because
Of race, or language, or color, he de-
clared, is uu-American- A man, he said,
is a man, and that Is all that the United
States constitution requires, or that 1t
should require. if it is truly a consti-
tuition expressive of liberty.
Advicss Them 20 Have Patience.
He urged his callers to have pa
tience and said that with it the march
of civilization and Of Christianity
would result in full recognition of their
civil and political rights. He expressed
the opinion thai there was not in the
history Of the world an example of
similar progress made by any people
of any color and of any race, equal
to that made by the colored people
in the forty years since President Lin
coin declared them free and independ-
ent- He predicted that what had been
accomplished in the last forty years
would be quadrupled in the next forty
| years
