MANY LISTEN TO
 NEGRO EDUCATOR
BOOKER T. WASHINGTON ADJ
 DRESSES TWO THOUSAND PEo- PILE AT GAINESVILLE, FLA.-NE- GRO DOES BEST ON THE FARM.

Gainesville, Fla, February 1.-Two thousand people of both races went to the court house tonight to hear Booker T. Washinton. Hundreds stood outside unable to get in. Professor Washington made no allusion to the dispute over his invitation. He said in part:
 Many teachers of the public schools of Florida were educated at the Tuske- gee institute. and I am sure it is but right and proper that you should know something of the methods employed in preparing colored teachers for their work. There is nothing unnatural or un- usual in my being invited here to ex- plain the methods and object of our work.
 Even in days of slavery the two races had frequent conferences with each oth- CT. There was no master who would not permit a slave to come into his presence and talk freely about his condition and aspirations. There was no slave tho did not feel he could have a hearing in the presence of his owner"
 Speaking of the work at Tuskegee he said:
 'When I began the work of founding l Tuskegee institute l resolved to make the school not only of value in uplifting my own race, but a school to send out colored men and women who should prove of value to both races. In analysing the condition of our people I found a major ity lived by some form of agriculture, and I found in studying the life of the race that, as rule, the race was better off in the country districts occupied in the cultivation of the soil and from the first I have placed the greatest emphasis on agricultural training
 T believe the time not far distant when the advantage of teaching agriculture In all public schools will be seen. I believe you will agree with me when I say the time has come when we must recognize that an intelligent, skillfui. conscien- tious man is of more value than an ig- norant shiftless one. l do not believe the negro will ever appeal to the white man in vain"

NO AGREEMENT ON
 SCALE FOR MINERS
JOINT CONFERENCE WAS IN SEES. SION UNTIL A LATE HOUR LAST NIGHT, BUT COULD NOT COME TO TERMS.

Indianapolis, Ind, February 5.-No agreement has been reached between the miners and operators as to the scale for next year. The joint conference was in session until a late hour tonight, and will reconvene tomorrow morning. The propo- sitlon of the operators to grant an in- crease of 1211 per cent for mining and 22 per cent for laborers was submitted to the convention of the miners after the joint session this afternoon. After long and acrimonious debate the convention finally instructed the scale committee of the miners to use their pest judgment in bringing about a just settlement of their cause.
 The days developments showed that the question could not be settled in it's pres ent form. The miners are standing firm for a 7-cent flat differential, while the operators want it widened.

THE HOUSE.

The antitrust debate, which opened in the house today did not develop much animation, although there was a fairly large attendance in the galleries. The rule under which the house was to oper- ate, however. precipitated lively discus sion. The democrats protested vigorous ly against the rule for consideration of the bill, because 1t did not permit them to secure a record vote on a substitute, but the republicans replied that they were willing to accept the responsibility. The bill to expedite antitrust prosecution oc- casioned no debate. 1t passed the house as it did the senate yesterday, without a word of debate. MT Powers, republican of Massachusetts, made the opening argu- ment for his side of the house on the judiciary committee bill. and MT Clayton, democrat of Alabama, opened for his side. The former contended that the pending measure was step In the direction of regulation of trusts, while Mir Clayton in- sisted that it was a sham and pretense, and that the bill. feeble as 1t was never was intended to go on the statute books.
 The other speakers were Messrs, Thomas, republican of Iowa, and Thomas, democrat of North Carolina.
 The postoffice appropriation bill was passed before the trust bills were taken up.
 The death of MT. Moody of North Car olna was announced at the close of the session, and out of respect to his mem ory the house adjourned until tomorrow, when the anti-trust debate will be re- sumed
