felt here by the officials of the American
Board of Foreign Missions over the stu
alton in Harput. Turkey where fanatic
ism is reported almost beyond control.
The appeal of the American Board of

dictate increasing danger to the interests
of the American residents. Not only has
the appeal been made TO the State De-
partment, but letter has been sent TO
President Roosevelt asking for an OPP
portunity to present to him the situa-
ton -
The boards first appeal was made be-
cause of an attempt to burn the Ameri-
can college at Harput. news of which
was received by cable last Monday. The
second appeal was made also on Monday.

UNOFFICIAL ADVICE
GIVEN COMMISSIONERS
Asked Concerning Signing District
Bonds Before Issue.

The Comptroller Of the Treasury In a
communication forwarded to the District
Commissioners yesterday, informs them
that he is without authority to submit au
official opinion on the question OF sign
ing and sealing the District of Columbia
3.65 per cent bonds in advance of their
issue. Appended TO this statement, how
ever, is an unofficial" statement, OF
what the Comptroller believes to be the
duty of the Commissioners in the prem
Uses. In this statement he sets forth
that the ordinary function of a counter
signature is TO verify the signature OF
the principal, and thus the suggestion
that the bonds be countersigned by the
Auditor of the District, and not signed by
the Treasurer. would be an unusual pro-
ceeding.
The query of the Commissioners is the
result of the receipt Of 3.65 per cent
registered bonds of the District aggre-
eating $500, 900 from the Unuited States
Treasurer for signature by the Distric:
Auditor. No action was taken in re-
gard TO the bonds. and the Auditor ap-
pealed TO the Commissioners for legal
advice as TO the legality Of depositing
countersigned bonds with the Register
before the signature OF the Treasurer
had been attached.
In replying to the communication the
Comptroller sets forth that IL the bonds
are to be prepared in blank, signed,
countersigned and sealed, there would be
danger Of their being stolen or other
wise passing into the hands of persons
not entitled thereto. He also states
that countersignature is TO authenti
cate the original writing, although some
times adopted for the purpose OF pro-
Viding concurrent action OF the per-
sons who are to sign and countersign.
Where il is required for the first pur-
pose. he maintains. II would be manifest
ly unwarranted to have the counter
signature attached before the original
writing.

SOUTHERN TO GET
MOBILE & OHIO
1T is SAID ON GOOD AUTHORITY
THAT SUCH is THE INTENTION
OF THE CON, hoLLING INTER
EsTs Or THE TWO RAILROADS.

Atlanta, Ga, May 95.-The Constitution
tomorrow will say:
"The Southern Railway and the Mobile
and Ohio railway will consolidate July l..
If there is no hitch In the present plans Of
the arrangement of these roads.
This information has not yet been of
fiicially announced, but 1t is learned on
good authority that such is the intention
of the controlling interests of the two
railroads.
"The Southern has owned a majority of
the stock of the Mobile and Ohio for some
time and it was the intention to consoli-
date them in April, but the fact that there
was considerable legislative excitement
at that time in the state of Missouri caus-
ed the management of the Southern to
postpone the matter. 1t was deemed the
wiser course to wait until this feeling
had somewhat subsidized before making
public the fact that the two great systems
would be united under one management.
ut is probable that the name of the
Mobile and Ohio will be used no longer
than July and that thereafter the lines
composing that system will be operated
under the name of the Southern Railway
company"

There has come before this assembly

Who sold the black man into slavery but
the whites? This is history, and as a re-
suit we have a moral responsibility to

have a right to stay. We gave them
their freedom. We must give them edu-

the richest churches in the land give a
mere pittance to this work while they
give large sums to other Objects"
DR.. e. P. Cowan, secretary Of the board
of freedmen, said:
There are In this land of ours more
than 100000 freedmen. A noted English
man wrote a book some time ago in
which he demonstrated to his own salts
faction that the negro in America was
bound to disappear. On the contrary, the
negroes have increased from Is to % per
cent. They are thus here to stay and
will stay in the states where they were
born"
Half dozen or more of the colored COM
missioners were given five minutes in
which to urge the church to lend it's aid
in the education of the colored people of
the SOUTH arguing that education was the
only solution of the race problem that
now confronted this government.

there are ten millions. You have to ed

WOMEN CLEAN UP STREETS.
Piled Brooms and ShoveIs on Bank
Street-Clty Couldn't Pay 1t.

Louisville, KY, May 25.-For several
hours today a number of women piled
brooms and shovels on Bank street
cleaning up the thoroughfare in front
of their homes. For some time the
appropriation made by the city for
cleaning the streets has been sufficient
only only to keep the principal thor
oughfares In the heart of the town
clean. The dirt has been accumulat-
ing to sucn an extent that the house
wives last week began making individ-
ual efforts to remove 1t. Yesterday
many women living along bank street,
between twenty first and Twenty-third,
decided that there was virtue in organ
ization and met at the home of Mrs.
George Jansen, 2101 Bank street.
1t was agreed to make a united at
tack at a certain hour this morning.
Consequently, band Of women went
to work this morning and remained at
the task until the space Of about two
blocks had been cleaned. They con-
tracted with teamsters to haul the dirt
away. Men in the various households
were not allowed to participate. The
movement bids fair to spread to other
quarters of the city.
