Washington, February 5.-Senator
Morgan today introduced a resolution
asking the secretary Of the navy to
supply the senate with copies of any
correspondence that may have occur
red between the naval officers of the
United States and persons on shore in
Colombia, during the recent stay of
American vessels in Colombian waters.
Mr.. Morgan's purpose in introducing
the resolution is to ascertain whether
there is truth in the report that the
American naval officers made an offer OF
$4,000, 600 to the revolutionists to desist.
He calls attention to the fact that the
first treaty which the United States
sought to negotiate with Colombo for
the construction of the canal called for
81. 900, GOO, whereas the treaty recently
negotiated calls for s10,0 N, 00G. the diff

ALASKAN BOUNDARY TREATY
Opponents Will Not Permit 1T to be
Ratified.

Washington. February 5.-During the
past two days, President Roosevelt has
had several conferences with promi-
nent senators concerning the status Of
the Alaskan boundary treaty, and the
president has been informed that the
opponents of the treaty will not permit
it to be ratified. II was indicated to
the president and Secretary Hay that
the, active opponents of the treaty
maintained that there was nothing in
the boundary question TO a~rbitrate,
and, therefore, they would not consid-
or its reference 20 a commission. az
provided for in the treaty.
1t is understood that the president
and Secretary Hay practically have
abandoned hope of the ratification OF
the treaty. If it should not be ratified,
the modus vivendi previously agreed
upon by Great Britain and the United
States will remain in force until it
shall be displaced by some permanent
arrangement.

A Crier of the New south"
The southern man who bubbles over
IN talking about the oil south is gen.
orally trying to curry favor with the
north. Fortunately his rebuk. some
times co1Its from a northern source.
Here is Bishop Kinsolving, Of Texas,
writing a book on Missions and the
editor OF the Church Standard of Phil
adelphia correcting his crude m%isrepre-
sensations:
In years gone by we had treated the
slave with contempt, and not as a
brother. We refused him Christian
marriage and family life and educat ton.
We trafficked in human flesh and blood
and we suffered the consequences"
There is truth in this arraignment, but
many thousands of veracious persons,
speaking from personal knowledge,
would pronounce it to be an eX3gge a.
ton and surely indiscriminate name
in which the bishop brings his sweep
ing charge against the "s%outh'and'', is
" AAt1A i I " nv u AISlNb0 a NNl-
tain Misrepresentation. So far as we
can see, the race prejudice or aversion,
Or instructive separation-call it what
you willis quite as strong at the north
as at the south. and is much less kind
ly. Nor car we admit that this in
~stinctive separation, however. unreason-
ing it may be, is altogether useless.
We believe it TO be providential. and
Wa not, with coticfoc tinn that &C the
negro rises in the social scale, he is con-
trOlled by it, as his white ~neighbOrs
are; not to the interruption of Hi -dly
feelings. but by the recognition of n
line which God has drawn and not man.
But for this instructive separation. the
negroes of the south would by this time
have fallen into even deeper d7grada-
ton than ever. and the population OF
the southern states would be doomed
ere long to become a mixed breed in
which the vices, rather than the vir-
tues. of the two races might be COM
bined. Many thousands of reputable
| persons will pronounce it to be a o
siderable exaggeration to say that. even
in the time of slavery. the negro was
! refused the privilege of Christian mar
rage" 1t is unhappily a matter of his
tory that the law did not protect the
marriage of the negro: but every one
who knew plantation life in those days
knows it to be a fact that one of the
chief difficulties of the master was to
maintain among his people something
like q decent respect for their conjugal
relations. h is too large a subject
to be dealt with in a few sentences; but
it is possible to be so impressed with
the separation. social and otherwise,
between races so widely different in
origin and temperament as the Cauca-
sian and the Negro. as to forget that a
complete disregard of the difference
between them must result in a disas-
trOus amalgamation. Christianity
teaches no sue lesson. What it does
| teach is that every Christian man of
every race shall regard and treat every
other man. of whatever rae he may be,
with all the fulness of Christian JUS
tice and Christian charity.-Presbyte-

Self-COnfdence.

When one wills anything persist
emily, unconsciously he has gained
concentration of purpose. All his
thoughts tend toward the subject for
which he is striving. 1t is almost
impossible for person having one
aim in life and a strong will to fail to
bring that about. Without conscious
thought, all the influences about him
tend toward the end he has set for
himself. Therefore, say to yourself
that you will succeed; say it again
and again, until you are certain in
your own mind that, whatever comes,
success shall be yours. Never, neUer
say, if disappointment come to you,
81 am the unluckiest person alive, and
knew nothing good could ever hap
pen to me-" Never allow yourself to
think such thought for an instant.
If you find a thought of failure COM
ing into your mind, Immediately
drive it out by thought of success.
| There is the soundest sense in this.
Your attitude carries with it failure or
| success when you meet others. If
you have not confidence in yourself
or in your ability, why should others
have who do not know as much about
you as you do about yourself? This
world is too busy to stop to investi-
gate merits which you are not con-
scious of possessing. Study yourself
and know what you can do-and be-
lieve that yon can do it. Believe it
with all your heart and work to prove
that you can do it, and you will find
no lack of those who will believe with
you. This is the true philosophers
stone which the alchemists used to try
to find, because with it came all know
ledge and all success.
