 The Objections.

San Domingo. Santo Domingo, Sept. Is, United States Minister Powell has sent a strong protest to the Dominican govern ment based on the following grounds:

 That the United States will not permit any nation to make exclusive use of Dominican waters in time Of peace, much less in time of war.

ISSUE IN MARYLAND
RACE QUESTION WILL BE
 THRESHED OVER.
Aetioc of the Baltimorg Convention Convention is Being Approved. Tom Johnson is After
 the Black Vote.

Washington. Sept. s.-(Special. .)-The action of the Maryland Democrats Tn making the race question signal Issue in the State contests meets favorable comment among Democrats visiting Washington. It is expected that the Dem- ocratic platforms of other States where the negro has lately figured as a dis turbing element will likewise declare in effect for white supremacy.
 In Ohio 1t is reported that the Tom Johnson party has gone out after the negro vote because of widespread dis satisfaction among the men of the race who are claiming that they have been disregarded in the division of offices.
 In Illinois and Indiana, where there has been considerable race friction and some communities have driven the negroes away, 1t is the feeling among Democrats that the race question will be warmly debated in the next Congress, and 1t is said that there is a strong disposition among many prominent Democrats to put Into the national platform a clear and positive declaration on the question. It is known that this particularly is fa- vored sentiment among the advocates of the nomination of Senator German, to whom was submitted the Maryland plat form just adopted. R. H. Watkins.

Says Indianola is Not Yet Closed
 Incident-Repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment VIII Be Discussed.

Louisville, Ky, Sept. 1s.-Before leav- ing for his home In Mississippi. Congress- man John Sharp Williams. who has been at a local infirmary under treatment, gave out an interview as to the probable issues during the next campaign.
 ''So. far as the South. is concerned said Mir. Williams, "the Indianolo affair Is by no means settled. It will be- de- cidedly a live issue. not only in the Southern States. but in the North as well. The attention of the public win be called to the fact that here is a Federal statute which provides that there must be at least one postoffice in each county.
 '"The repeal of the Fifteenth amend ment will also be a vital issue in the South at least. It's enactment was one of the greatest blunders of the century, a blunder worse than a crime. It calls for no effort at frankness on my part to say that am opposed to it. So far as I know the Fourteenth amendment has not been called into question by any one at the South despite press reports to the contrary. Equally strong blanks for the Democratic platform will be an anti colonial clause and a demand for an hon. est and economical administration"

 The report, that these Powers have taken such action has been received with great satisfaction by the Bulgarian min- istry.
