Already most excellent. the outlook for

continues to brighten. A few days since
d. V. Burreil received a letter from one
Of the leading seedsmen Of the Union ask
ing concerning the chances for making
large contracts for growing seeds in the
vicinity OF Rocky Ford. The high repu-
tation which Rocky Ford products. can't
aloupes especially. have attained through
out the United States, is attracting the
attention OF the great seed houses which
wish to procure the best OF goods for
their trade. That the seeds grown under
irrigation and in this high altitude are OF
superior quality is being generally con-
ceeded; hence the desire TO have the
choicest varieties OF seeds grown in the
Arkansas valley Of Colorado. MIR. Bur
rell informs US that 1000 acres will be
devoted TO seed crops in the valley this
season. or this acreage Mr. Burrell has
contracts for 200 acres. He is some

but the rapid growth Of the industry and
the widespread attention our section is
attracting in that direction. seems to full
ly justify Mr.. Burrell's predictions OF the

WASHINGTON ON
NEGRO PROBLEM

Newe York, Feb. 4.-Washington's
services of patriotic societies and many
subject Of their sermons.
Booker T. Washington was the ora
tor at memorial meeting held in the
Academy of Arts and Sciences. The
speaker devoted his address to the con-
sideration of the race problem, and
said, In part:
Unlike the Indian. the original Mex
ican or the Hawaiian. the Negro, 80
far from dying out when in contact
with a stronger and different race, has
continued to increase in numbers to
such an extent that, whereas the race
entered bondage few In number. there
are now more than 5000 900. So want
to emphasize the truth that whether
we are of Northern or Southern birth,
whether we are black or white we must
face frankly the hard, stubborn fact
that in bondage and in freedom the
negro, In spite Of all predictions to the
contrary, has continued year by year
to increase In numbers until he now
forms about one-seventh Of the entire
population. and there is no sign that
the same ratio of increase will not
hold good In the future.
Further than this. despite all the
changing, uncertain conditions through
which the race has passed and is pass
ing, you will find that in every year
since the black man came into this
country, whether in bondage or in
freedom. he has made . steady gain In
owning property. habits Of industry
and Christian character.
"The age for settling great questions,
either society or national. with the gun.
the torch and by lynching, has passed.
An appeal to such methods Is unworthy
of either race. believe the time has
come-and believe it is perfectly
practical thing-when group of repre-
sentative white men, both North and
South. should meet and consider with
the greatest calmness and business sa-
|gacity the whole subject as viewed
from every standpoint"

GERMANY STILL TROUBLESOME
in THE VENEZUELA MATTER

Washington, Feb. 24.-Having failed
in the effort to obtain from Mr.. Bowen
the immediate payment in cash of the
t27,50O which 1t was provided in the
protocol of February 18th. should be
paid to Germany thirty days from date.
Germany yesterday requested Mr.. Bow
en- to give a draft for the amount, pay
able in Caracas on the latter date.
This latter request was made on be-
half Of the German embassy by Herr
Baltazzi, formerly charge d'affaires at
Caracas. but who has since come to
Washington and has been assisting the
embassy in the pending negotiations.
Mr.. Bowen was again forced to de-
cline this request. which he did polite
ly. at the same time reminding Herr
Baltazzi that he was bound by the
terms of the protocol. which provided
that the $27,5O0 should be paid at Car
acas the 18th day of March, to the dip
lomatic representative of Germany.
Just what reason was given by the
German representative for making the
The Holly chieftain., 1903-02-27

request Is not kncwn. Such draft,
however, it is presumed. would be ne
gotiable, and the result would be that
the Germans could Immediately obtain
the money 1t called for. The whole
matter is presumed to hinge on the
question of the return of the ships, ma
tional and private, which were taken
by the German warships during the
blockade and regarding which there
appears to be hitch.
Minister Bowen has received several
cablegrams from President Castro re-
garding the action of the allies in re-
tanning the ships and he Is evidently
growing restive at what he considers a
breach of trust The allies representa-
tives. however, take the position that
the ships will be returned as soon as
the necessary formalities" have been
enacted. The British ambassador has
assured Secretary Hay that the London
government was doing everything pos
sibel to expedite the return Of the
ships.

Court sitting in Chicago refused to

is this appeal which was decided to-
day. the decision being adverse to him.
Summing up, Justice Harlan said:
I'VE decide nothing more in the

Warrington. Feb. 24-Ths decision
rendered yesterday by the Supreme
Court in the famous Champion lottery
ticket case II regarded as more Inn

ent Congress.
The power Of Congress to prohibit
the sending Of lottery tickets from
one state to another by other means
than the mails was passed on, but the
as giving Congress full power to con-
troll and regulate interstate COM
merce.
The question arose in connection
with two cases: that of Champion VS..
the United States. and that Of Francis
vs. the United States. In both cases
the constitutionality of the act of Con-
gress of 1895. prohibiting the trans
mission OF lottery tickets from one
state to another by express or other
wise. was challenged.
The opinion in the Champion case
was delivered by Justice Harlan. and
sustained the validity OF the law. In
the Francis case, Justice Holmes spoke
for the court, holding that the offense
alleged did not come within the scope
of the law in question. Both were
criminal cases.

was in Chicago representing what was
known as the Pan-American Lottery

CONFERENCE ON

sisting of Representatives Southard,

with accompanying notes and memor-

Mexico and China are seeking the CO.
operation Of this government In such
measures as will tend to restore and
maintain fixed relationship between
the moneys Of the gold standard coun-
tries and the silver using countries.
1t is not asked that the United States
codify its monetary system; and 1t Is
stated distinctly that there is no move
ment in contemplation for the restora-
tion Of international bimetallism. The
particular desire is that measures be
adopted that will prevent the great

Investments in Mexico alone aggregate
ing more than $500. 100000. The earn
ings OF these enterprises have suffered
q serious fall in gold value with every
fall in the value Of Mexican money.
This fact. 1t is suggested, brings homo
to this country the desirability OF
adopting some means to insure the
stability of exchange.
After considering the subject care
fully, 1t was the opinion Of the parties
to yesterdays conference that 1t would
be wise for Congress to confer upon
the President the authority to appoint
three commissioners to participate in
any international conference on the
question of the stability Of exchange
that might be arranged. 1t Is expected
that another effort will be made At
the present session to leave that au-
thority to the President.
