sion.

his adopted daughter, Miss Rane.

probably Sunday. Mr.. Tongue leaves
a widow, two sons, one of whom is
in Washington and another in Ore
gon; three daughters two of whom
are married and live in Oregon, and
IN adopted daughter.

appointed tomorrow to escort the re-
mains to their last resting place.

sLAvs HELD AS A v
Made to Work in Coal Mines Against
Their Will.

Ten Slavs, ragged and half starved
have arrived in New York from Toms
Creek, Va, whittier they went six
weeks ago with 80 others on the prom
Use of stead work in a coal mine at
$3.50 a day. They tell a story of OPP
preston that has caused the Austrian
ambassador at Washington, Baron
Hengenmueller, to start an investiga-
ton, with the object of freeing the
men still at the mine and of obtain
ing redress for their wrongs.
After having been hired, the men
were taken to the little town of Geor-
gel, on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
whence they drove 20 miles across
country. The next morning each man
received several sticks of dynamite
and some petroleum.
These are your TOOLS" they were
told. They will cost sou $40 anu
we will take it out of your pay in
installments."
The men worked IL hours the first
day. At night they received SO cents
each, instead of $3.50, and they pro-
tested. But they were told to be
careful Of their money as they would
be expected to pay for part of the
cost of their materials out Of it at
the end of each week. This condition
CT affairs continued for three weeks.
Then AZ men escaped. All but 10
we're recaptured and taken back to
the mine.

Commissioners to Take Time With
Bell Plans.

~ Z. ..I.H. 0Stu GIdItSs
From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
within the next 10 days the county
commissioners will have placed be-
fore them the completed Bell plans
for the new court house and Jail to be
erected in the city.
Complaints against the Bell plans
tc the commissioners have been
numerous during the past few weeks,
but it is claimed that the board will
S every precaution to protect the
interest of the taxpayers, whether the
Bell plans are finally accepted or 9th
er plans are considered. The com
missioners will thoroughly under
stand the plans before any move is
made in the direction of the erection
of the proposed buildings. They will
not rely entirely upon their w judg-
ment or that of any local builder, but
will submit the plans of the architect
tc some one outside of the city cap
able in every respect to pass judg-
ment upon a matter of that kind. If
upon an inspection of this kind the
plans drawn by Mr.. Bell prove salts
factory in every detail then the COM
missioners will go ahead and adver-
tise for the sale of bonds and call for
bids for construction.
1t is not at all likely that the COM
missioners, upon whom will fall the
responsibility for the construction of
a building satisfactory to the taxpay-
ers, will depend very much upon the
architect when it comes to the matter
OF overseeing the construction work,
They have in view the employment of
a competent builder to look after that
part of the work and see that the
buildings are honestly constructed.
1t is also intimated that the com
m~issioners will exact surety company
bonds in the construction of the
buildings.

The tendency OF medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of
the most dangerous diseases that med
ical men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the s Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always
results from a cold or from an attack
of Influenza (grip), and 1t has been OBJ
served that this remedy counteracts
any tendency Of these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully prov
en- in many thousands of cases in which
this remedy has been used during the
great prevalence Of colds and grip in
recent years, and a be relied upon
with implicit confidence. Pneumonia
often results from a slight. cold when
no danger is apprehended until 1t is
suddenly discovered that there is fe.
yer and difficulty in breathing and
pains in the chest, then IL is announced
that the patient has pneumonia. Be

friends as n who had experience and
knew whereof he spoke that they could
not open wide the door of hope to the
negroin the south without shutting it in
the face of the white man.
Senator Tillman justified the action
of the southern states in depriving the
colored people of suffrage by declaring
that it was a matter of self-preserva-
ton. The whites could not submit to
the domination OF an ignorant black
race. He asserted that the colored
people today, IS a whole. were not so
well disposed toward the whites as
they were during the days of slavery.
AS a man who had been brought up on
a slave plantation he declared that the
black and white races of the south
were becoming bitterly antagonistic
now. whereas they had been extremely
friendly during the days of slavery.
He produced some startling figures,
obtained here in the District of Col,
umbia, showing that the ratio of lille
climate births among the colored PEG
pie is 10Y about &c per cent of the
total. there having beer a direct in
crease of more than 10 per cent within
a dozen years or so. He contrasted
this statistical evidence of immortality
with the fact hat here in Washington
the negroes are given a better grade
of education than anywhere in the
United States. having separate pri
mary schools. grammar schools, high
manual training schools and even bust
ness schools.
Although the Indianola postofice
was the text for the speech. it was
hardly referred to after the opening
sentences. The address was a dis
passionate statement of the race prob
lem from the standpoint of the south
ern whites. The fairness with which
this was stated and the entire freedom
from sectionalism made TIllman's ples
for the southern whites a remarkable
one. The strength of his argument
was recognized on all sides, and aftel

publican senators declared the speed
ought to be printed in pamphlet form
and circulated throughout the country

THE PARAMOUNT QUESTION

From Maine to Texas and from Seat
tie to Jacksonville the question upper
most in the periodicals appears to be
the ACE problem in the south. 1t is
being discussed by the black educa-
tors and the white journalists. by cabi-
net officers and by senators. Recently
no less a man than Secretary of War
Root made the statement hat the ff-
teenth amendment had proved an en-
tire failure and on February cath Sena-
tor Tillman delivered what is termed
one of the most remarkable speeches
ever made in the United States SEN
ate, on behalf of the white people of
the south. From Senator Tillman it
was all the more remarkable because
of its moderation. The able cores
pondent Of the Chicago Tribune. Mr..
Raymond, sent the following account
to his paper:
Senator Tillman late this afternoon
concluded his remarkable speech on the
question. He made a profound
impression upon the senate, and the
prediction is generally made that this
address will become a classic. Con-
trary to all his oratorical traditions
Senator Tillman spoke with extreme
temperatures. Though he was discus
sing it from the southern standpoint,
he approached the subject with abso-
Lutte caution and seemed to be able by
a supreme effort to divest the subject
of all passion and sectional prejudice.
1.-THE northern senators readily rec
ognized 30 remarkable an episode. 1t is
probable that the negro question was
never discussed SO exhaustively and so
judicially by an prominent southern
states man before. Senator Tillman
appealed to the sobersense of his north.
ern friends in the senate. His speech
. was manifestly not an electioneering
document, and it was manifestly con.
structed for the pupose of allaying
prejudice rather than exciting it. The
galleries were filled with well dressed
women most of whom were delegates

olution convention. To them, as to

said frankly that New England friend

red for the southern whites but of alb

This southern senator from the
state which started that rebellion de-
clared without hesitation that the SOW

must be respected, that the slaves were
properly freed and that the sole mis-
take lay in grating suffrage before
the black people were ready to assume
the burdens Of citizenship.
