PROBLEM OF RACES
SPEECH BY HON. JOHN TEMPLE

say- God Did Not Intend That op- posite and Antagonistic Races Should Live Together-Ap peals for Caucasian Unity. T.

Chicago. Sept. 3.-John Temple Graves of Georgia. delivered an address on "The Problem of the Races this morning be- fore the forty-eighth convocation of the University of Chicago. He said in part:
 Separation of the races is the way the old way. If God hath made of one blood all the nations of the earth,' He hath also established unto them the metes and bounds of their habitation.' He did not intend that opposite and antago- nistsc races should live together. The prejudiced of race is pointing of Provi- dence. and the antagonism of peoples Is the fixed policy by which God peoples the different portions of the universe and establishes the individuality of the na- tions
 'The act that brought these people to- gether on this continent was a sin of the father's-a sin of greed, an iniquity of trade-and the sorrow and suffering of the present is for the sin of the pasta sin against nature and a 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.'
 "It is neither impossible nor impractical ble. The elements are willing and the way iS III icdCu' HIS iS ilot d ody oA impossibilities. The hand of the Al mighty is steadily opening the way.
 Tt 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 neither cruel nor unpa- triotic, and the north knows it. The north Is neither immovable nor vindic- tive and the South knows 1t. 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 destiny.
 T appeal for 'Caucasion unity l ap- peal for the imperial destiny of our mighty race, this is our country. We made 1t. We nodded 1t. We control 1t. and we always will. We have done things; we have mighty things to do yet The negro Is an acident-an unwilling, a blameless but an unwholesome. helpless, unassimilable element in our civilization. He Is not made for our times. He Is not framed to share in the destiny which he perplexed and beclouds. Let us put him kindly and humanely out of the way. Let us give him better chance than he has ever had in history and let us have done with him. Let us solve his problem frankly, fearlessly, nobly and speedily. Let us put 1t behind us Let us liber- ate the South to vote and ot think like free men upon the mighty issues of the times"

ROOSEVELT IS FIRM.
Will Not Allow Colombia to Ham.
 per His Actions.

Washington, Sept 3--Additional instruc- tions have been cabled MT. Beaupre. the American minister at Bogota, reiterating the position of this government regard ing the canal treaty. The State Depart ment assumes entire responsibility for every representation of MT. Beaupre to the Bogota Government concerning the treaty and his activity in this direction Is heartily endorsed by the President and Secretary Hay
 Minister Beaupre's latest instructions advise him that President Roosevelt will not enter into any agreement with the Colombian Government which will ham, per his scope of action under the canal law. This government will not indicate what its course of action will be in the event the treaty Is rejected.

ANTI-AUsTRIANs GATHER.
Italians Threaten to Burn Alleged
 Spies

Rome. Sept. 3.-A congress of students which was held today at Udine, near the Austrian frontier, was the occasion for another anti-Austrian demonstration due to the presence of students from those Italian provinces still under Austrian rule. Bands played patriotic airs and the hymn of Trieste. while the flags of the four Italian provinces not yet united to Italy were carried at half mast. as sign of mourning and waved amid intense enthusiasm and patriotic cries. The Mayor of Udine delivered a speech in which he said that the demonstration was a pledge of brotherly solidarity among the free and unfreed Italian re- glons. At a certain point in the pro- ceedings two or three supposed Austrian spies were seized and threats were made to burn them alive. The police rescued them from the mob after they had been mauled.

All Efforts to Launch 1t Are Fut-
 ila

Whitewater. Va, Sept 3.-Efforts to-day to launch Professor Langleys sixty-foot aerodrome had to be abandoned at 6 o'clock this evening owing to the fail ure of the gasoline motor to work prop erly. For four hours Professor C. M Manley, the inventors right hand man, labored hard to get the machinery in shape. The inventor then made the fol- lowing statement:
 The work of the afternoon has been a great disappointment to all of us. The failure to have an experiment was caus- ed by the discovery of broken valve in the motor. This can be repaired I think during the forenoon tomorrow"
 When the signal was given by firing a skyrocket from the house boat to apply the motive power to the machine. Profess sor Manley tried in vain to get his en- zine in operation. Professor Manley was attired in a light costume when he en- tered the cabin. His jacket was padded with cork to assist in keeping him above water at the termination of the flight.
