University Of Chicago. 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 also established unto them the metes
and bounds Of their habitation. He did
not intend that opposite and antagonistic
races Should live together. The prejudice
Of race is a pointing Of Providence and the
antagonism Of races is the fixed policy by
which God peoples the different portions
of the universe and establishes the In
dtviduality of nations.
1.-THE act that brught these people to-
gether on this continent was a sin of
the fathers-a sin Of greed, an tniquity
of trade-and the sorrow and suffering
Of the present is for the sin Of the past
a 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.'
TT Is neither impossible nor inpracti-
cable. 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
were placed by Providence in our keep
ing to furnish an answer to the problem
~
1.-THE south is neither cruel nor unpatri-
otto, and the north knows it. II either Of
us is mistaken, and If both Of us are mis-
understood, we are yet one people, and we
must meet upon the plain Of our brother
hood and our destiny.
II appeal for Caucasian unity. appeal
for the imperial destiny Of our mighty
race This is our country We made It,.
We moulded 1t. We control it, and we
always will. We have done great things,
we have mighty things yet to do. The
negro is an accident-an unwilling, a
blameless but an unwholesome. unwel-
come helpless, unassimilatible element
in our civilization. He is not made for
our times. He is framed to share in the
duty and the destiny which he perplexes
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 this problem, frankly,
fearlessly, nobly and speedily. Let us
put it behind us. Let us purify our poll
! tics Of the perplexity. Let us liberate
the south to vote and to think like free
men upon the mighty issues Of the
times

Public Address.
SAYS He Desires the Welfare of His
People, Irrespective of
l,s Crede.
He Declares Emphatically That the
Present Revolution Was In
IA stigated Abroad.

Constantinople, Sept. s.-On the ami

religion AS to the detestable and regret
able deeds to which the patriarch alluded,
I am convinced that the movement does
not proceed spontaneously from the popu-
Iation, but Is 1nstigated from abroad. l
nope the mea sures taken will insure tram
guilty. I call God to witness the sim
cerity of my declaration and that all my
aspirations and work are for the welfare
and prosperity Of all my subjects

Washington, Sept 3.-Admiral Dewey
reflected the general opinion OF naval Of
ficers when he called attention yesterday
to the weakness Of the American navy as
compared with those Of Great Britain.
France and Germany. While all the naval
officers take. great interest in the maneu-
vers, they assert frankly that the last one
was ridiculously small and only served to
call the attention Of the world to the small
number Of vessels under the United States
flag. The number was so small as to
make the United States appear mean in
the eyes of the world.
The United States has only fourteen
first class battleships, including those I'M
der construction. They are the Alabama,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kearsarge, Ken
lucky, Maine, Massachusetts,, Missouri.
Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Virginia and
Wisconsin. It is true that most Of these
battleships are the best in the world, but
three Of them-the Massachusetts,, In
diana and Oregon-are ten years old and
in many respects obsolete. This is but
a poor showing compared with the home
fleet Of Great Britain, which is more than
double the number of first-class battle
ships in the whole United States navy.
Compared with England.
When comparison OF cruisers is made,
| the showing is miserable. Naval officers
suggest that those persons who are SO
confident of our naval strength might well
| ask themselves what would the fourteen
battleships of the American navy do in
conflict with the home fleet Of Great
i Britain, which consists Of thirty warships

Aeronsut Has a Narrow Escape~Halioon
Was Torn.
Some exciting incidents, which the
spectators in the grand stand did not ex-
pect, came to pass yesterday afternoon.
Had the fates been a little harsher there
might have been two fatal accidents to
record to-day. In the 2:30 pacing race,
Joe Mclaughlin, the driver of sulphume,
was thrown from his sulky, sustaining Sc
we're injuries, such as fractured hip,
cuts on the hands and face and possible
internal injuries. He was eventually
taken to st. Joseph's hospital.
Aeronaut Rich had his mascot with him
all afternoon. Just as he was about to
make his first ascension, a small rent
from which smoke was belching tore open
SO that the balloon collapsed. A few
minutes later Rich would have been sew
eral hundred feet up in the air and he and
the balloon would have come down In 8
mass Of wreckage. Rich made an ascent
an hour later, however, in a. second balloon
which also sprung a leak in nid-air
causing the aeronaut to drop his para
chute sooner than he wanted to.
