wAsHINaToN's REPORT.
Principal of Tuskegee Institute to
 the Trustees.

Tuskegee. Ala. May 27.-5ooker T. Washington today submitted his annual report to the Board of Trustees of the Tuskegee Institute. It is in part as fol- lows:
 From the first it has been a part of the mission of the Tuskegee Institute to try to reach and help the colored people in the country districts. We have sought to do this in two ways, first by encour- aging the students from the rural dis tricts to enter the school. and second by emphasizing in the school those branches of education that would naturally keep the student, at home and in sympathy with agricultural life. In carrying out our purpose. I think we have been req sonably successful. as the number of our graduates or former students now at work tn the country districts will testi- fly.
 There are several influences. however. that are constantly exerting themselves against the negro growing up on the soil at present. One of these is the lack of public school facilities in the country dis tricts. and the frequent and unwise axita- tion of the question about dividing the school fund in pr:portion to the taxes paid by each race. In the cities and larger towns the negro parent finds comfortable school house and a school in session eight or nine months. taught by a competent teacher. Moreover, the negro knows that if perchance he may be de- prived of nearly all school facilities in the country. in the city the various mis- sionary agences will Keep a school open for his children eight or nine months In the country, as a rule, the school house Is wretched, the teacher poor and the term lasts only three to five months.
 If for no higher reason than these financial ones 1t would pay those who own the land in the South to see to it that good school Is kept open in every country district A good school--in my opinion-would soons add 50 per cent to the price of farming lands. because it would stop, in a large measure, the exo- dus of colored people to the cities. An other thing which sends a larger num- Der of negroes to the cities than many realize Is the surety of getting police pro- tection in the city when one Is charged with crime. think I do not overstate the matter when I say that for every lynching or attempt at lynching, that takes place in the country, a score of colored people leave the country for the city. This whole question Is one that should receive very serious attention"

RIDDEN. BY DAN MAHER1
ROCK SAND WINS THE GREAT
 ENGLISH DERBY.
Aceful, the American Entry, Finishes the Ruck-Event Worth e,500 Sovereigns to the
 Winner.

London May 27.-Rock Sand. a Swear old colt. belonging to Sir J. Miller, and ridden by Danny Maher, the famous American jockey. won the great English derby at Epsom Downs today before a vast crowd. Vicintus was second and Flotsam third. Seveh horses started. Aceful, the American representative. finished fin ths ruek. The value of the stake was $500 sovereigns, and the dis tance a mile and a half. Aceful. which was ridden by J. II. Martin, displayed temper and delayed the start. Rock Sand vas first away, followed by Ftabelais Mead and Aceful. A quarter of mile out Mead took command and led to the top of the hill, when Rock Sand. splendidiy ridden by Haher, the American jockey, drew to the front and making the re- nlainder of the running. won easily by two lengths. Two lengths separated second and third horses Rabelats was fourth.
 The betting was to on Rock Sand. Il to against vinctius and 100 to 14 against Flotsafh.
 Maher came in for a good reception. This was the third successive year that the Derby winner had been ridden by an American jockey, Reiff winning in 1901 and Martin last year.
 The crowded state of the roads to Ep. som tnis morning pore eloquent testimony to the devotion of the Londoners to the tradition of Derby Day. The weather the presence Of members of the royal family. and the international character of the field for the great race, all contributed to insure something like a record at tendance. The aristocratic and demo- cratic levels of society with all the inter vening strata, were early on the move.
 By S.30 o'clock a never-ending stream of vehicles of every conceivable kind was in full flood. Four-in- hands, motors, brakes, hansoms and other carriages in- termingled with the coster cavalcade which emptied Whitechapel of half it's donkey population. None of the cus- temary diversions along the road were missing. The King and Queen. accom- psnied by Princess Victoria. the Prince and Princess of Wales. the Duke of Cambridge, the Grand Duke Michael of Russia and the Duke and Duchess of Connaught took a special train to Ep- som. and their example was followed by many thousands. The railroad stations were thronged throughout the morning by stately dressed women and men.
