A White Mans ColonyA
Baltimore Sun,

An incorporated company
has pu~hsed a large tract ol
land in Alabama on which an
interesting experiment is TO
be made. A rolonv is to be es
tablishpd and into that colo
nv a black or yellow face will
not be admitted. Land will
be sold to settlers, but the
sale will bn coupled with the
condition that no negro shall
be employed as workman or
servant, or permitted to pnr
chase any partofit. The land
of this white mans colony is
said TO be a fertile tract hall
as large ns the State OF Rhode
Island, l\ ing in Baldwin coun
ty. Alabama. within t h =

is the theory OF the promo~
ters of this scheme that the
prp,rnrr of the negro in tn"
South excludes the lest class
of white labor, which will not
come to work side by side
with the black man. This cOI
onization scheme is. there
lore, an interesting experl
ment. If it isfound that white
labor can do the field work

the colonv prospers without
negroes better than adjoin-
ing communities do with ne'
gro labor, then the theory o'
the promoters of the colon!
will be- justified. While tht

treaty between the United
States and Cuba has been
signed at Havana. This trea
ty incorporates all the pro-
visions Of the Platt amend
ment. The treaty still re-
mains to be ratified and, al,
though ratification hy the
United States in certain, there
is some question as to the &C
tion of the Cuban Senate.
The title to the Isle OF Pines
remains to be settled by a
subsequent treaty. The pro-
vision which permits the Uni

stations at Guantana mo and
Bahia Nay are regarded by
American officials as the most
important provisions OF the
new convention. The specific
location of these stations il
not inrluded IN the treaty
but a selection of the points
named has been the outcome
of subsequent negotiations.

a mill that greatly hampered him II
the execution OF his plans. and he ask

long series of years his family hat
owned the mill. which Ind passed from
father to son and that ho would moi
sell II for any price. The king used
every solicitation. offered to build hin
mill In a better place and pay hin
besides any sum he might demand. but
the obstinate miller still persisted In
bis determination to preserve tho In
heritance OF his ancestors.
Irritated at last by his conduct, the
king sent for him and said in an angry
tone:
why do you refuse to sell your mill
Notwithstanding all the advantages

The miller repeated his reasons.

dismissed the miller without further
entreaty and changed the plan Of his
