TO LOSE SOUTH AFRICA.
4ndresc Carnegie Predicts This Of
Great Britain.

The Armstrong Association met yesterday
afternoon at the home of President William
Jay Schieffelin. No. East Sixty-sixth-st,
About one hundred members attended. This
association, named after General samuel Chap
man Armstrong, friend of the negro and found
er of Hampton Institute, carries on Ne work
in behalf of the colored man which General
Armstrong began. The speakers yesterday were
Andrew Carnegie. the Rev. DR.. Ernest NJ Stires,
d.. II. G. Frssell, principal of Hampton Insti-
tute anG H. w. Mabie, Editor of The outlook"
Mr.. Carnegie surprised his hearers by assert
ing that he believed Great Britain would surely
some day lose South Africa. He said:
1T is about as certain as are living that
Great Britain will lose South Africa. because
the Dutch population there is increasing, while
the British are not. The Kaffirs won't work.
What would Great Britain give for nine mill
ion negroes, as placable and 10y 4ble as those
in this country? These give us about
eleven million bales of cotton every year, and
this, I contend, helps make the United States
the most powerful nation In the world. Sup
pose feet of British warships should attack
us The President as commander in chief of
the army and navy, need only raise his hand
and say stop exporting cotton and the war
would be What happy country this is to
have the negro.
My knowledge of the question leads me to the
opinion that no political measure can ever save
or benefit the negro. The Hampton Institute
shows the only useful solution"
DR.. Frissell reviewed the work done by the
institute. of which he is principal and many in
stances in which graduates from Hampton, had
proved themselves well equipped to fight life's
battles in competition with their white brethren.
DR.. Stires and II. w. Mabie dwelt on the i'm
portance of the negro problem, and the necessity
for helpful action, in the interest of the colored
man. The suggestion made to erect a
statue of General Armstrong
announced We're
made.
These officers were unanimously re-elected:
President, William Jay Schieffeln; vice-pTesi-
dents. Mrs c. A Runkle. Mrs. w. H. Schieffelin
Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James and Robert c. Og-
den; corresponding secretary, Mrs. George Nc

regarding the Russo-Japanese situation war
will not occur. It is said that Japan has intro

Russia did not expect when she presented her
recent note. and, it is added. that the Car hard

The sympathetic attitude OF the British press
toward Japan is regarded exercising stinen-
