Orator at Washington,

Washington, D. {, Jan. 27.-At
a mass meeting of negroes held in
this city last night under the aus
pices OF the Afro-American Council,
violently Incorporate and in
fiammatory speech was delivered
by negro named HAYES, who halls
from Richmond, Va, and who has
gained some local notoriety through
his association nth the attempt TO
break the new Constitution. Of Viz
ginia, which disfranchises the
negroes. Hayes said that there wac
nothing but degradation for the
negroes in Virginia and other South
ern States and that there never
would be anything bat degradation
unless the negroes contend Cor their
rights, and if necessary, die for.

ments were made The speech has
been widely discussed today and
much bitterness is in evidence
among Southern Congressman, al
though few of them are talking for
publication. The one thing that
everybody agrees on is that the
so-cdlled Southern policy of Roose-
welt is directly responsible for out
breaks like this and the impression
prevails that some Of Hayes pre-
dictions may come true if the Presi-
dent does not change his views.

MEXICAN AFFAIRS.
Exchange Rate for Import Duties.
Barroom Regulations, Merchants
Adopt New Rules.

Mexico City, Jan. 29.-The
Treasury Department announces
the rate of exchange for liquidating
import duties on merchandise enter
ing the frontier and maritime
custom houses during the month of
February will be 2473 per cent.
The reporters of this city will give
an entertainment Saturday night
in behalf Of the Mazatlan sufferers
and President Diaz has consented
to be present as has also Finance
Minister Limantour.
There is general public approval
of the new regulations governing
barrooms and places where pulque
is sold. All drinking places must
close at noon on Sundays. On all
other days barrooms must close at
8 p. m. Heavy fines will be i'm
posed for infraction of the law. This
is the first attempt to curb the
retail liquor trade here and owners
of drinking shops and bars are
bitterly complaining and talk of
petitioning the Government to
reverse It's order, but this will not
be done. There are $4,000 liquor
shops in this city of 100000 PEOPLE
and the Government is determined
to take measures to prevent public
decentralization, with its resulting
poverty and crime.
Thirty of the largest importers
and wholesale merchants Of the
City Of Mexico recently held an
important business meeting and the
following resolutions were passed:
First, that no goods should lie
sold on credit which extends more
than four months.
Second, no discount given on
goods sold on credit.
Third, only 4 pee cent discount
should be given on any kind OF
goods sold hytl,en.
Senior Leandro Fernandez. former
ly the Secretary of Fomento, has
been appointed by President Diaz
to fill the position of Secretary Of
Communications and Public Works,
which was left vacant by Francisco
Z. Mena, recently appointed Secre-
tary of War and Marine.
The increasing demand in the
United States and Europe for ixtle,
a textile fiber produced from a
/ plant which grows very extensively
in Southern Mexico, is tending to
greatly stimulate that industry.
The wholesale dealers in that valu-
able textile of San Luis Potosi and
Jalisco are constantly receiving
orders from the United States,
where ixtle is used for many pur-
/ poses.
Representatives of a company
just organized in Ohio, U. S. A.,
for the purpose of exploiting gold
mines in Sonora are in the city
making arrangements in connection
with that undertaking.
The well known writer and poet,
Dr.. Aurelio Ilorta, has just died in
the City Of Mexico.

CASE CONTINUED
HEARING OF PEEPLES AND BLACK
 POSTPONED.
Prosecution Was Not Ready in Case of Car Men Accused of Murder. Men Still in
 Jail.

The preliminary hearing of w. K. Black and M. O. Peoples, the motorman and conductor of car g of the Montgom- cry Street Railway, which killed young Rupert Walters, a deaf mute, Thursday and against whom charges of murder have been made, was continued yester- day by Justice .L.. Williams until to- morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock.
 The continuance was ordered on motion of the State, they being unprepared to go to trial on account of a misunderstand- ing between the solicitor, the assistant solicitor and employed counsel for the prosecution as to the date of the trial.
 On account of the number of persons wishing to hear the evidence in the case, the Circuit Court room was secured by Justice Williams and the witnesses were called at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon at that place. Deputy Solicitor William Temple Seibels argued for continuance. He said that he and counsel for the de- fence were unable to agree on bond, al- thorgh he had offered the defendants the privilege of bail. He stated that the States witnesses had not been sum- moned. and he was unprepared in every way to go to trial.
 Counsel for the defence urged an inn mediate hearing and objected strenuousiy to the hearing being postponed until Sat urday. as was suggested by the deputy solicitor
 Justice Williams announced that the case was continued until 4 o'clock We'd nesday afternoon. The accused men have been allowed bail. 1t being fixed at $1, ,0O0 This bail, however, has not been made, and the men are yet in jail.

FIRE AT BREWToN.
Dry Kilns Burned and Loss is Esti-
 mated at S5.OOO.

Brewton, July 20.-(Special )-Last night the fire whistle aroused the people to find that the dry kilns at Blacksher- Mil Ter Lumber Co.'S plant were being de- stroyed by flames. While on his rounds the night watchman. R, l.. Williams. saw dense smoke issuing from one of the kilns. and he lost no time in turning in the alarm.
 The tiremen responded in double quick time and soon there were four streams of water pouring into and on the burn ing buildings. The fire spread with great rapidity; the lumber being very dry. burned like finder.
 By hard work the kilns nearest the blaming mill was saved, the firemen hay- ing concentrated their efforts in this di- rection. At two o'clock the fire was un- der control, and it was d tired and all most exhaused lot of gallant fire-fghters who went to their house after the battle.
 The burned kilns contained some l3O 900 feet of lumber the entire loss being esti- mated at 5000 with about $S2, 800 insur- ance.
 The loss of the dry houese falls heav- fly on the owners, not because of their pecuniary value, but that 1t will force the closing down of the blaming mill for several weeks until the kilns can be re- built.
