but the main object of the sale was nc.
complished- That object was arrange
ments for the erection of several houses
on the property. There is assurance
that this has been accomplished from

out-of-town people, consulted local con-
tractors with that end in view. 1t Is
expected that that number Of houses
will be built at once There was some
disappointment that there was no auc-
ton sale, hut the company had no de-
sire to get up any excitement, and, there
fore, conducted the sale ON strictly bus
mess basis. The sale occurred in an Of

WASHINGTON DREW
A RECORD CROWD

Gainesville, Fla, Feb. 6.-The largest
crowd that ever assembled in Union
Academy gathered this morning to hear
Booker Washington's address. The
best known negro educators came from
every section Of the state to hear his
address:
The meeting vas held under the aus
pices of the General Educational Board
DR.. Butterick, secretary and treasurer
of the board, made the first address.
Washington spoke for more than an
hour. He received a most enthusiastic
reception as he rose, and ii was sew
eral minutes before quiet was restored,
so that he could speak. Supt. Sheats
also addressed the meeting.
Washington received seven invita-
lions to visit other places while here,
but owing to pressing duties, was I'M
able to accept. He left early i'm the
afternoon for Tuskegee. He expressed
himself as grateful for the friendly
manner in which he was received by
the people, white and colored, and said
he would ever remember the occasion
pleasantly

last leaking out, and these are now
suostantiated by the other negotiators
present
1t seems that when the British am
oassador, who took the lead at this
conference, had finished reading the
cablegram of Lord Lansdowne, con-
tanning his last proposition for a 20
per cent. division of the customs re-
ceipts of Puerto CabeIo and La
Guayra between the allies and other
claimant nations, respectively. Mr.
Bowen at once remarked in an en-
phatic tone that the proposition was
but another scheme to trick Venezuela
into abetting an alliance against her
Tor six years and probably longer. He
added that he would not consent to
any scheme for continuing the triple
alliance one day longer than he was
forced to.
Charges that Great Britain was en-
deaVoring secretly to continue her al
nance with Germany were resented by
the British ambassador, though he
showed no i'll feeling at the conference.
After the conference, it is said, he sent
cablegram to London, stating that
he was displeased with the conduct of
Mr.. Bowen, and that if it were left TO
him to decide, he would not continue
negotiations with him. He EXPRESSED
to his conferees of the diplomatic corps
the greatest indignation that an am
bassador from the court of st. James
should be so treated.
Another feature of the last twenty
four hours has been the receipt of an
exceedingly curt note from Lord Lans-
downe at the British embassy. The
cablegram, II is stated. went so far as
to remind the British ambassador that
he was here to obey Sorders.

DELAWARE'S MIDDLE.
Not Settled by the Announcement of
Addicks.

Dover, Del. Feb. 6.-There was no
important development in the senate
rial situation to-day. Nearly all the
Legislators left the city for their homes
tonight, and no further move on the
part of the different factions is looked
for until Monday. The ballot in the
Legislature was without result, show
ing no material change, Addicks receiv-
ing his usual support.
Ex-United States Senator Kenny, one
of the Democratic leaders, submitted a
proposition to the Democratic caucus,
involving an offer to the regular Repub-
licans of the solid support of the Dem
ocrats for the nominee of that faction
for the long term in the United States
Senate, leaving the short term vacant.
1t is understood that the Democrats
offered to support Congressman L.
Heisler Ball for the long term, allowing
the other seratorship to take care Sof
itself. This offer was rejected to-day,
but it may be taken up and considered
later on.
The regular Republican Conference
Committee made a last request of the
Union Republicans before agreeing to
accept the Democratic proposition. 1t
was. will YOU allow us to name one
senator, you taking the other?"
The Union Republicans replied that
they could abide by nothing but the
vote-of a majority. of the Republican
caucus. The regulars then retired, and
the Union committeeman submitted the
final proposition of the Addicks men as
follows:
I'VE shall stand or fall by the princi-
pie of majority rule"
Both sides finally agreed to allow re-
gotiations to remain open for a few
days.
Gen. James n. Wilson, one of the
leaders of the anti-Addicks faction of
the Republican party said in a state
ment:
Il do not consider Addicks' with
drawal as made in good faith. His
reservations and conditions are inap-
plicable in my judgment. The regulars
should not go into caucus with his
people, since there would be twenty
one Addicks men against ten regular
Republicans, and Addicks would nee
essarily dictate both nominees, one of
whom, if elected, would doubtless re
sign at Addicks' request. and thus
make way for the Governor to appoint
Addicks to the vacancy

ROOT ON ROOSEVELT
AND THE NEGROES.
He Asks ''what Shall We DO with
the Black MINT"


New York, Feb. 6.-At the celebra-
ton of the fortieth anniversary of the
Union League Club tonight, Secretary
of War Root made an address. in when
he said
After the Civil War the great ques-
ton was, What shall we do with the
black MANI and the answer. Give him
citizenship, equal rights and the fran
chise and he will rise Three amend
ments were added to the constitution.
and l fear that We will have to face
the conclusion that the experiment has
failed.
The suffrage has been taken away
from the negro. and in many of the
Southern states the black man no long
er has the right of suffrage.
"A curious development has been
seen within the past year. President
Roosevelt has appointed fewer black
men than President Mckinley did and
there are to-day fewer black men
holding office than when Mckinley
died Yet loud cries are to be heard
In the South about President Roose-
velt's policy in appointing black men
| to office in the South. Under Presi-
| dents Mckinley, Cleveland, Harrison
and back TO Hayes time, more ne
| groes were appointed to Office and
| nothing was said.
| "A black man attended an official re-
| ception in Washington at the White
! House a short time ago. The black
/ man, as an official of the government,
had always attended these receptions.
| Yet the invitation OF the President to
| these men was the signal for an out
| cry OF thousand papers in the South,
| that the whites Were being insuted.
| Il don't want to argue this ques-
ton. | am certainly showing that
| we have to face a new change of feel
| ing in the South. that the black man
| is denied the right to aspire to the
highest dignity which was for
merly unquestioned is now ques-
! toned In short time the white
man will succeed in excluding the
black man from all offices in the
Southern States.
| I'VE can never throw off the re-
| sponsibility that rests on our people
for the welfare of these black people
that we held in slavery for 50 many
generations Now that the first at
tempt has failed, the question is what
to do, and 1t should take the greatest
thought of the greatest minds of the
| country"

CROWN PRINCESS
PARTS WITH GIRON.
New Chapter in the Royal Scandal
of Europe.

New Chapter in the Royal Scandal
of Europe.
Geneva, Feb. 6.-The legal adviser of
the former Crown Princess of Saxony
has made the following announcement
IN. Giron will leave Geneva this
evening for Brussels. where he will
join his family. NJ. Giron has broken
off all relations with the Princess in or
der not to impede the reunion of the
Princess with her children"
The sudden end to the royal intrigue
is said to be due to. the refusal of the
Saxon court, influenced by the Emperor
Francis Joseph. to consent to a divorce.
1t is reported that the Ppineess sought
her fathers pardon in order, to get per-
mission to see her children. but was
refused everything unless she left
Giron. Her lawyer visited Dresden, but
failed to get any concession beyond the
offer of a small yearly allowance, and
the promise that if the Crown Princess
gave up Giron and returned home, no
legal proceedings would be taken
against her.
The Princess, realizing at last her
equivocal position, became i'll and was
apparently willing, if approached in a
proper manner, to agree to any terms
On the return of her lawyer from Dres-
den a prolonged interview between the
parties took place, in the course of
which the Princess. in torrent of
tears cried, 81 must see my poor chill
dren again"
Her parting with Giron is said to
have been very affecting.
