favorable quarter At Z o'clock the
fog could not be penetrated beyond 100
feet, but in less than two hours there
were indications of it's lifting. The
wind still held true and at 8:35 was

Conditions Reported by Iron Age Are
Improving.
New York, Sept 3.-An improving
inquiry can be reported for manu-
faetured iron and steel generally, says
The Iron Age. The conditions which
have governed trade in finished prod.
ucts have been unsatisfactory during
the summer months, but it is ROW quite
confident they expected that a fav-
orable change is due. Seasonabie
product, such as wire nails and wire
fencing, are even now beginning 20
feel better demand. In the case OF
structural shapes, plates and some
other products, great deal of deferred
business, held up ON account of labor
troubles and the unsatisfactory condi-
tion of the market for securities, will
soon come up for attention.
Pittsburg advices are pitched in a
more cheerful tone and for some
months, transactions being on a larg-
er scale and showing more confidence
among buyers. The influence of good
crops in the west and south, which will
be marketed at high prices, is begin
ming to be felt. Reports from other
iron markets are generally of an en-
| couraging character
Prices of finished products are we'll
maintained. with the exception of light
sheets, bar iron and some minor prod
ucts.
Transactions in foundry pig iron are
not on so large a scale as last week
A great deal Of buying is in progress,
but 1T consists of small lots. Durdng
the prevalence of high prices costs
were considerably increased, and with
the exception of coke, these costs still
prevail. Quitea number of furnace
! owners find that with current prices
their margin of profit has Msappear-
ed, and preparations are under way
for the blowing out of considerable
number of stacks. An interesting
| contest is possible between the Inde-
pendent sheet mills and the Analga.
mated association. The mills have
asked for changes in some of the
union rules to enable them to compete
on better terms with non-union mills,
but their request has been refused.

RACES
IS The ONLY WAY
Hon. John Temple Graves on
Problem of the Races.
HIS ADDRESS IN CHICAGO.
Distinguished Georgian Appears Before
the Forty-Eighth Convocation of the
University of chicago-His Address

\ Chicago, Sept. 3.-Jonn Temple
Graves, Of Georgia, delivered an ad
Dress on THE Problem of the Races
this morning before the forty-eighth
eonVocation of the University of Chica
go. He said in part:
Separation of the races is the way
the only way. If God hath made OF
one blood all the nations of the earth
he hath established unto them the
metes and bounds of their habitation.
He did not intend that opposite and an
tagonistic races should live together,
The prejudice of race is a pointing
of providence and the antagonism OF
peoples is the fixed policy by which
God peoples the different portions of
the universe and establishes the in
dividuality Of the nations. The act
that brought these people together on
this continent was sin Of tia father S
"a sin of greed, an iniquity e trade
and the sorrow and suffering of the
present is for the sin Of the pasta
sin against nature and sin against
God. The curse can be lifted only
when nature is vindicated, and God
is obeyed. The problem will be
solved only when the negro is restored
to the bounds of his habitation."
1t is neither impossible nor imprac-
ticable. The elements are willing
and the way is in reach. This is not
a day Of impossibilities. The hand of
the Almighty is steadily opening the
way 1t may be that the islands of
the sea are placed by providence in
our keeping to furnish an answer to
the problem of the time.
The south is neitherd cruel nor un-
patriotic, and the north knows it, The
north is neither immovabIe nor vindic-
tive, and the south knows it. If either
Of us is mistaken, and if both of us
are misunderstood, we are yet one
people and we must meet upon the
plane of our brotherhood and our des-
tiny.

made it. We moulded it. We control
it, and we always will! We have
done things, we have mighty things to
do yet. The negro is an accident
an unwilling, a blameless but an un-
wholesome, unwelcome, helpless, un.
assimilable element in our civilization.
He is not made for our times. He is
not framed to share in the destiny
which he perpleXes an beclouds. Let
us put him kindly and humanely 0ut
of the way. Let us give him a bet
ter chance than he has ever had in
history and let us have done with him.
Let us solve this problem frankly,
fearlessly nobly and speedily. Let
US put it behind us. Let us purify our
politics of the perpelxity, Let us
liberate the south to vote and to think
like free men upon the mighty issues
of the times.
