Roosevelt's attitude had encourag-
ed many negroes TO cherish hopes
OF social equality and miscegena-
ton. Dir. Gaines said the Southern
people were taxing themselves to
the utmost limit toeducatethe negro
but their work was being nullified
by people who, for partisant reasons.
misrepresented the facts while they
were utterly ignorant OF the true
conditions.

Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON. D. C. Nav H. 1909

WASHINGTON, d. c. May IL, 1903.
President Roosevelt has been
baffied in his attempt to override
the wishes of the entire white po-
pulation OF Charleston, S. c., and
disregard the wishes of the Senate
by appointing "Dr. Crum, colored,
to the position of collector of the
Port of that city. 1t will be re-
membered that the President twice
sent the Crum nomination to the
Senate and the Senate as often failed
to confirm it, in one instance prac-
tically voting TO report on il un-
favorably. After the Senate ad-
iourned Mr.. Roosevelt appointed
Crum as recess appointment but
now the Treasury Department re-
fuses to allow him any fees on the
ground that he has been illegally
appointed, contention clearly upheld
by an explicit law. The only hope
which Crum can entertain of re-
ceiving pay for the time he has SER
we'd is through special act of Con-
gress which is regarded as most
remote. III the Senate will confirm
him next winter he can draw his
fees from the date of such confir-
nation, but there is no more reason
to anticipate that the Senate will
confirm him in. the future than
there was when he was first nomi-
mated.
CONSERVATION has been aroused
in the Postoffice Department by a
warning given to a colored carrier
on rural delivery route running
out of Gallatin, Tenn, to the effect
that no colored mau can carry the
mails. The present incumbent,
John c. A. Allgood, is the second
carrier on the route which was
established March l, the first having
resigned, it is presumed because of
a similar warning. The route has
been discontinued pending an in
vestigation. Allgood was appoin,.
ted by provision of the Civil Ser
vice law which leaves no discre-
tion with the postal authorities.
In this connection, a report has |
reached Washington to the effect |
that no negroes are to be permitted |
to handle the mail in the South and
it is feared that much trouble will |
ensue. Representative Gaines, who |
is in Washington, gave an explana-
ton OF the situation to your cor
respondent. Mr.. Gaines said there
was no denying that the Southern
people objected TO colored mail car
riers because they were colored, |
but that the objection rose from
fear. In the rural districts the
heads Of the family and all grown
males were obliged to go out into
the fields to work and leave the
women at home defenseless. Be-
cause of the nalneless crime of the
negroes they could not but regard
with apprehension the prospect of
negro mail carriers coming to their
homes in their absence, especially

NOW IRE FOR arbitration.
Have Enough Of Negotiating With
Minister Bowen.
PREFER ROOSEVELT TO HAGUE.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Irritated by
the note of Minister Bowen, Venezue-
las representative, addressed to. the
British ambassador refusing to accept
the allies proposal for a scheme of
preferential payments by which Great
Britain, Germany and Italy were to
receive 20 per cent and the remaining
eight creditor nations 10 per cent of
the customs of La Guayra and Porto
Cabello, the allied powers have in
structed their representatives here to
submit the question of preferential
treatment for settlement to President
Roosevelt, and in the event that he
declines to act as arbiter, to take this
and possibly the entire Venezuelan
question to The Hague for settlement,
thereby breaking off negotiations with
Minister Bowen:
The British ambassador expects to
have an interview with the secretary
of state, whom he will sound as to the
probability of the presidents acceptance
of the allies request. If it is found
that President Roosevelt is not dis
posed to allow himself to be dragged
into the negotiations, the instructions
of the allies are such as to permit
them to forego the embarrassment of a
rejection at the hands of Mr.. Roose-
welt, and, instead of making known
their wishes to him, steps will be
taken to draw up a protocol with Mr..
Bowen for reference of the case to
The Hague, as suggested by him in his
note of last Monday.
The British ambassador was the first
of the representatives to receive in
structions to this effect and the matter
was discussed at the MONDAY confer
ence between the three representatives
of the allies.
1.-The Hague tribunal" said one Off
cial of the. administration, ''has all
along been kept in sight as a port of
safety in case the negotiations here
were not productive of final settle
ment, and as for the suggestion that
the president act as arbiter, that has
been a favorite idea of the allies since
the beginning of the trouble"
Whether President Roosevelt will
accept this invitation of the allies is
not known.
