WORK OF M'KINLEY
Is BEING NULLIFIED BY POLICY OF
ROOSEVELT.
HIS FRIENDS so ASSERT.
HIS NEGRO APPOINTMENTS IN THE
SOUTH MISTAKES.

RoOseveIt's Friends Say He Begins
TO Fear He is BEING Misled in His
Efforts to Elevate the Race in the
south - Tell Him to Beware of
CIarksOn-SituatiOn at Indianola
Remains Unchanged - Reliable
Statements viii be Awaited Be-
fore Action is Taken.
Washington, Jan. 6.-There appears
to have been temporary stay of pro-
ceedings in the Indianola case. Attor-
nev General Knox, at the cabinet meet
ing to-day, said no steps have yet
been taken looking to the prosecution
Of the tormentors of Postmistress Cox.
Postmaster General Payne is dispos-
ed to adopt the peaceful suggestions
made by Senator McLaurin of Missis-
sippi, who has requested that no fur
Their action be taken until there is an
opportunity to submit to the depart
ment statements from responsible per-
sons at Indianola as to the actual con-
dition there and the circumstances
leading up to the recent closing of the
postotIice.
The Southern situation was the sub
iect of two long conferences to-day.
President Roosevelt and Postmaster
General Payne were closeted for sew
eral hours this afternoon after the cab
met meeting adjourned. Later Mr..
Payne remained at the PostOffice De-
partment until after dark with Gen.
James S. Clarkson, who has been sum-
moned to Washington in haste. Clark
son is held responsible for much of the
confusion and conflict between the
lilly whites and the BLACK and tans''
in the South, and it is believed that the
President begins to realize that Clark
son may play him false, as he is
charged with having betrayed Harri-
son in 1892.
Some of the warmest friends OF
President Roosevelt do not hesitate
TO say that he fears he is being mis-
led in his efforts to elevate the negro
in the South. Some of the leading
Republican senators and representa-.
tives, while desiring to be loyal to the
administration, do not hesitate to say
privately that Roosevelt is pursuing
a policy calculated to undo all the good
Mckinley accomplished toward crush
ing out sectionalism. Without doubt
ing the Presidents honesty and good
intentions. there is a growing impress
sion among his friends that he is ag-
gravating the situation in the South
ern states by following the advice OF
CIarkSon.
