Secretary Root asks: What shall we do with the
negrof We answer let him alone. The negro is free.
He has the opportunity to acquire independence, to
make himself a respected member Of soclety, to
hasten or delay his own development, just as the
average white has The truth is that this eter.
neal nonsense about the negro and his rights and
wrongs, this mischieviOus cackle over him and his
future, is infinitely harmful to him and fraught with
calamity to both races. Let him alone. Stop this

ARMED WITH PISTOL
Peter Olsen Elliott Desperate
 ly Tries to See President.
PHYSICIANS ADJUDGE HIM INSANE
Guards at the White House Were Alert and Kept the Maniac
 From Doing Injury-He Was Locked Up.

WASHINGTON, Oct. GA desper- ate hand to hand encounter with an armed insane man who was determin- ed to see President Roosevelt occurred in the vestibule of the White House. The man, who gave his name as Pc ter Elliott and his home as Minneapo- lis, Minn-, was overpowered by the of ficers on duty at the White House en- trance and carried to police van which had been summoned He was placed in the van in the custody of two officers. Seeming to realize then for the first time that he was under arrest Elliott began furious struggle with bis captors.
 He drew 8 reBolver from the right side pocket of his trousers and attempt ed to shoot Officer James Ciscle. The officer grabbed his hand and wrenched the weapon from his grasp. Elliott's struggles were so fierce, however, that the two officers in the cramped quar- ters of the van were unable to over come him. Of1cer Ciscle then drew his revolver and fired two shots to at tract attention.
 Chief Usher Thomas Stone and Of ficer Parker of the house force, who had assisted in carrying Elliott to the van, attracted by the shots, rushed back to the vehicle and assisted in over towering him.
 The police surgeons after a careful examination of Elliott have certified that he is insane An order was issued immediately for his removal to the St. Elizabeth Hospital For the Insane.
 Elliott declared he went to the White House because the president asked him to come. and see him. He said he carried pistol to protect himself and did not intend to do any harm to the president.
 He had carefully planned to meet the president and, according to his own story, was within few feet of MT. Roosevelt in the Grace Dutch Reform ed church while the president and his two boys were at worship. That he intended to harm the president is the belief expressed by the secret service men.
 Elliott gave his occupation as that of machinist. He said he had lived in this country for eleven years, most of the time in Minneapolis, Minn. He said he came to Washington from Pat erson, N. J.

SOFIA IS DOUBTFULs
Bulgarian Government Wants Work
 of Reform, Not Words.

of Reform, Not Words.
 SOFIA, Bulgaria, Oct. 6.The Aus tro-R Russian note to the porte has been received somewhat skeptically in off, cial circles here and among the Mace donian organizations with utter disbe- lief that any good can come from it. One point on which all parties are agreed is that action is the only satis- factory pledge of reform that the Ot- toman government can give. The Bull garian government is anxious to see the promised details of the new meas ure, but it is feared that if they are too stringent Turkey may prefer war to accepting them, while if they are not stringent they will certainly be useless.
 Dr. Tartacheff, the president of the Macedonian committees, says that he does not regard the new note more se- riously than the former ones. He de- clares that any system of European control is useless unless it has the pow CT to enforce the reforms entirely inde- pendent of the porte.
 According to dispatch from the Ri- Ia monastery, a large party of fugi- tives from Razlog and Godlevo, while crossing the frontier, were continuous ly fired upon by the Turkish post at A1guedik. The Turks followed the fu- g1tives into Bulgarian territory and killed two of them.

WILL RUSSIA GO QUIT
Japanese Government will Be Patient
 But Firm.

Japanese Government Will Be Patient But Firm.
 LONDON, Oct. 6.-No apprehension exists in the mind of the British gov ernment or the diploma atists in London that the far eastern situation will bring forth any immediate serious de. velopments. This feeling of temporary security on .the eve of the date that Russia should, but admittedly will not evacQate Manchuria is due to assur- ances on the part of Japan that so long as the negotiations now proceed ing between herself and Russia pre- sent reasonable prospect that a settle ment will be reached Japan will take no action hostile to Russia in the mat ter of Manchuria.
 It is further learned that these ne gotiations looking to final settle. ment of the Russo-J Japanese spheres of influence in the far east and especially dealing with the situation in Korea are progressing satisfactorily at To kyo. No treaty, however. has yet, been signed, and it is unlikely that the ne , gotiations will be concluded by Oct. 8, the date on which Russia was to evac- uate Manchuria.
 Russia's failure to evacuate Manchu- ria on that day, however, will not pre- cipitate diplomatic crisis, as Japan rather than break off the negotiations covering broadly all the issues between herself and Russia is willing to strain a point regarding Manchuria in the hope of arriving at satisfactory set clement. In all of this the British government acquiesces. Such elements of immediate danger as the far east ern situation presents appear to be confined solely to the popular agitation in Japan against Russia after Oct. 8
 This, however, is being taken into consideration by the Japanese govern ment, whose diplomats have warned Russia that, while the Japanese gov ernment will not allow its hand to be forced to the extent of entering into hostilities over the Manchurian evacu- ation question, it cannot indefinitely prolong the present negotiations at Tokyo in face of the expected popular clamcr.
