1t is said that President Roosevelt :
letter TO the governor of Indiana on
the subject of Iynching was Il political
move. 1t was done for the purpose of
attempting to put a stop to the exodus
of negroes from that state to the south,
and TO strengthen the hold of the party
on such as remained. The recent at
tack on the negroes in Indiana by the
white people have caused a pretty gen.
eral emigration to the south among
the former.
There is a heavy negro vote in that
stat-so large that it is needed to
keep the state in republican hands y
general exodus OF negroes or their de-
sertioa of the party would. at the least,
great yendanger its chances Of victory
in the next election.
This was 4 political move on Mr.
ROosevelt's part similar 10 the one
which ne PLAYED ON time ago regard
ing the negro vote in Ohio when he
had Booker T. Washington to lunch
with hin Mr.. Roosevelt was then told
that something had TO be done to con-
ciliate the negroes of that state or they
would o support the republican ticket
at the then approaching election.
These Ohio negroes a become dis
affected because of the number of ne
u At the south who had been dis
placed by white men in federal offices.
MI. RoOsefelt fell in with the idea and
has eyer since held the negro ~der
his special protection Il has worked
the scheme for all it is worth.
1t is also said that President Roose-
yeIt's letter 10 Governor Durbin has
brought the latter to the front as u
possible vice presidential candidate.
His friends are saying that this letter
is an indication that such is Mr..
ROOsevelt's desire. The argue that
because OF the departure of so many
negroes from the state it is very i'm
pOrtant that an Indiana man should
be put on the national ticket in order
TO make that state safely republican.

THE SOUTH'S EXPORT TRADE.

The manufacturers Record pub
fishes tables comparing the export bus
sness Of the southern ports for the
year 1893 II 1903, also for the years
1902 and 1903. The total for 1893 was Of
the value Of $271, 715.O14, that for 1905
S505, 237. 264. The value of the exports
of the entire country for the two
periods was $S47.665, 1874 for the first and

ports for 1902 were of the value OF
s472,S44 500 while that of The whole
country was $1.3S1, 119,401. The value Of
exports from the gulf ports for 1903
was So per cent greater h for the
year before; for the south Atlantic
ports SO per cent greater n 2.7 per
cent in all other districts excluding
those of the north Atlantic, where there
was a decrease of 8 per cent.
This is indeed a fine showing for the
south and indicates regular and steady
increase in our direct foreign bust
ness. We are drawing this trade from

years ago had almost a complete mo-

must be borne in mind that there was
a s~lackening in the export trade of

the southern ports will become the
leading export points for thc country.
Through their gates will go the cotton,
grain, naval stores, bituminous coal
and products of our factories to all
parts of the world. We will have the
greater share Of the export business

NO REVENGE ON BULGARIA.
Russia. Austria and France viii Not Coun-
tenance Stern Measures.

Paris May 11.-There was simultaneous
publication this morning in Paris, Vienna ana
ST. Petersburg of the official view of the Bull
garfan situation. 1t appeared in the Flgaro
here; the "Neue Freie Presse," of Vienna, and
in the official organ at st. Petersburg, and
carries out the idea, previously published that
the powers are satisfied with the correctness
of Bulgaria's course and will not tolerate the
adoption by the Sultan of Turkey of stern
measures against Bulgaria on account OF the
Salonica outrages. 1t is pointed out that the
question is not merely one between suzeralh
and a vassal, but is one between Turkey and
the powers signatory of the Berlin Convention
mainly France Austria and Russia, owing to
their geographical position. The official COM
munication sums up follows:
Two important points mark the present status
of the imbroglio First, the Bulgarian Govern
ment is not responsible for the Macedonian vlo-
Ience; second, neither St. Petersburg, vienna
nor Paris have the intention to permit Bul-
garia to be held responsible.
The communication closes with the statement
that the Porte's first duty is 20 carry out the
general plan for Balkan reforms. repress the
Albanian agitators, and punish the murderer
of the Russian Consul, adding:
If Turkey persists in dfverting attention py
menacing Bulgaria the ambassadors of the pow
ers may shortly remind The Porte OF wnat the
