Commissioner Mcfarland has received a

iEgton Citizens Association congratulating
him upon the position taken by him in his
address to the Mount Pleasant Citizens
Association on the subject of suffrage in
the District.
If our citizens could be moved to speak. 4"
writes Mr.. Babson, you would find your
position supported by a large majority of
those who own property and have material
interests In this city. We are fortunate in
having such an able exponent of our views
and one who has the courage to utter them.
The sentiment of East Washington, so far
as 1t could be nodded by the East Wash
ington Citizens Association, sustains YOU.
The agitation Of this matter of change Of
form of government, local suffrage and the
recital of imaginary grievances. ETC., was
honeycombing the usefulness of our assoc
citation, and we found 1t necessary to pass
an order prohibiting discussion thereon.
This order, rule of the bylaws, No re-
port or discussion concerning the form of
the District government shall be allowed
at meetings of this association, except by
unanimous consent was adopted and rig
idly enforced while I was president of the
association From Its adoption the health

SLIGHT RISE IN POTOMAC.
Rivermen Do Not Anticipate Flood of
Proportions.


The water in the river this morning was
six or eight inches higher at high water
than it was yesterday, being level with
many Of the wharves, and at several of
them coming upon the planking All the
low lands on the Virginia side of the river
about Jackson City and on the Eastern
branch were under a foot or two of water
and under the Long bridge heavy current
is running at a gait of about six miles an
hour. The muddy water extends for many
miles down the river, and the effect of the
current is felt to Maryland Point and be-
low. The tide has not attained a danger
point about here. and the highest water yet
reached is fully a foot below that of the
freshet of March. 1902. The water this
morning was tapping the new speedway
along the tidal basin above the Long
bridge, but it is not believed any material
damage will be done to the unfinished road
way.

The rivermen here do not anticipate any
danger of a flood higher than it was this

AsIATIc POLITICS.
Theme Discussed in an Address Before
the German Technical Society,


Mr. II. Schumacher. who has spent many
years in the far east, yesterday afternoon
delivered a lecture on. "Asiatic Politics be-
fore the German Technical Society. Among
other things Mr.. Schumacher said. in part:
1.-The 4OO,OCOO00 people on the borders Of
Asiatic Russia have been for more than
half century the object of Russia's terri
torial ambition. Year after year she has
kept in view the ultimate possession OF
China. She has pushed forward her rail-
roads, her forts and her naval preparations.
The poorest student of international affairs
can understand what would happen If Rus
sia succeeded in assimilating into her en-
pire the millions of China. A people able to
endure the most severe fatigue. obedient to
discipline, and with an almost Turkish in
difference in the presence of danger, the
Chinese make excellent private soldiers.
mo nation fears this possible situation
more than the Japanese government. The
japanese army has been highly praised, but
still 1t remains in the semi-barbarous state
compared with the modern armies of the
western people," 97
The speaker declared that both Russia
and Japan are keeping watchful eyes on
each other.

opened this morning promptly at 8 o'clock.
with Bishop B. W. Arnett presiding. Bishop
Arnett. in his opening address. congratu-
lated the members Of the board on being
present on time, and said that the race had
reached the place In its history where 1t
would have to learn the value of time.
I'VE must adopt as our MOTTO he said
industry, honesty and reliability, but the
greatest of these is reliability. Stop stand
ing around in the streets, complaining
about hard times, and instruct our people
to go to work, save their money. invest in
the land. This is necessary to build up
strong race in this country. How can we
have anything by asking white folk all the
time to let us come in their kitchen, when
we can go in our own parlors? We are liv-
ing in a progressive age, and we must do
something"
The committees reported. DIR. hampton
was congratulated upon his manner of con-
Quoting the business of the office. The

ner.
DR.. E. W. hampton, in his closing ad-
dress said that in all of his travels through
his race to buy homes and pay for them
to stay out of the cities and cultivate land
in the country; to lift up and educate the
young boys and girls; to better the social
condition of the negroes.
And then l say to the white people all
over this country he continued, that we
do not seek social equality, as they claim
for us, but high ground equality. We do
not seek to go into the parlors Of white
people. where we are not wanted. but in
our own parlors and reception rooms how
ever humble they may be.
Want Treatment Only as Citizens.
Eve do not want to be denied justice on
account of color or previous condition. but
we form part Of this country and want to
be treated before the law all other citi-
zens. Should white man call on a daugh-
ter of mine I would invite him out; and we
do not want to call on his daughters We
are satisfied with our own women.
What social equality there Is in this
country was brought about by the white
man and not us. You see evidences of it
among our people today"
After resolutions thanking Mrs l.. NJ
Hampton and authorizing the publication of
year book by the historian, Bishop B. w.
Arnett. the board adjourned sine die. The
members are returning to the south this
evening.
