FAILURE, SAYS Root
Secretary of War Talks of En-
franchising the Negro
The Problem Now Facing the Country Re-
quires the Greatest Thought of the
Greatest hinds-Div sion Between
Rich ana Poor.

New York, Feb. THE fortieth
anniversary of the Union League club
was celebrated at the club house
last night by reception rendered to
the survi vors of those wha joined the
club in 1863. Elihu Root, the secre-
tary of war, was the chairman of the
reception committee. Secretary
Root congratulated the veterans of
the club upon having woven a
thread into the fabric of the great
life of this country" There are" he
added, many problems coming up
to-day on which the safety of this
government depends. There are to-
day situa tons of possible evils for
our country that call for devoted pa
triotism- First, division between the
rich and the poor, under which
wealth controls legislation and pow
erty is trying to stir up war OF
classes. but every good titizen should
declare that never in this free land
shall we have war of classes.
There are some labor organizations
which fight against the better man
| doing more work than the poorer
man and hold down the competent
man to the level of the incompetent
and stupid. I do not declare war
against labor organizations; 1 be-
heve in them. The laborer is emit
tied to organize to get his own.
"After the civil war the great ques-
ton was What shall we do with the
black man?' and the answer was
Give him citizenship, equal rights,
and he viii rise Three amendments
were sdded to the constitution and
| fear we will have to face the con-
| clusion 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
longer has the right of suffrage.
| We can never throw off the RESPONSE
bility that rests on our people for
the welfare Of these black people
that we held in slavery for so many
| generations. Now that the first at
tempt has failed, the question is
what to do, and it should take the
greatest thought of the greatest
minds of the country"

HOUSE NOT "UMNIPOTENT."
Speaker Henderson OverruIed In His Com
tenIion That sunday Could Be Made
Legislative Day.

Washington, Feb. 10.-After the
reading of the journal in the house
Monday, Mr.. Richardson (Tenn.) took
exception to the presentation of the
conference report on the department
of commerce bill at Sundays me-
mortal session. He contended that
the action of Sunday was void. The
speaker ruled that it was regular. He
said that 1t had been repeatedly held
that Sunday could be made a legisla-
tive day. The house when in session
at any time, he stated, was omnipo-
tent, except for the limitations of
the constitution. Mr.. Richardson
protested against the ruling as a
dangerous precedent and moved to
correct the journal so as to strike out
the action of Sunday. Eleven repubh-
cans voted with the democrats for
this motion, but it was defeated on
a rising vote, so to So.
Richardson demanded roll call and
his motion was carried, 116 to 101.
Twenty-eight republicans voted with
the democrats. The net result of
this action is to postpone the consid-
Grafton of the conference report on
the department of commerce bill un-
til tomorrow.

RACE WAR AT FAYETTE.
The Recent Whipping of Three Negroes
by Law and Order League Causes
Much Eexcitement

Fayette, Mo-, Feb. 1O.-A race war
has been started here as the result
of the public whipping of three ne
groes on the courthouse steps Fri
day night. A committee of the Law
and Order league took three negroes
from their homes and whipped them
publicly for alleged misconduct. Two
of them were women. Since then the
negroes and white people have been
at swords points and it is said 25
negro families have been frightened
into leaving this vicinity. The re-
cent killing of Harry O'Donnell, a
reputable citizen, was charged to ne
groes and did much to stir up enmity.
The whites have openly threatened
to battle with negroes and drive them
from Fayette and vicinity.

IN the south

San Francisco, Feb. 9.-News Of q
earfu loss of life. in a destructive
torn that swept the South sea is
ands last month reached here yes
erday ON the steamer Mariposa di-
'ect from Tahiti. On January 13 last
1 huge tidal wave, accompanied by
erritic hurricane, attacked the So
iety islands and the Tuamotu group
With fearful force, causing deaths and
devastation never before eQualed in
land of dreaded storms. The storm
aged several days, reaching its maxi
mum strength between January II
md January 16. From the meager
Jews received at Tahiti up to the
lime OF the sailing of the Mariposa
t Is estimated that 1000 of the is
anders lost their lives 1t is feared
that later advices will add to the
ong list. Conservative estimates at
Tahiti place the number of islands
listed by the tidal wave and hurri-
SINE at so. All OF them are under
he control of the French governor
It Tahiti. The surviving inhabitants
ire left destitute of food, shelter and
lothing, all having been swept away
~ the storm.
The French government, upon re-
sept Of news Of the disaster, took
prompt measures to relieve the dis
sressed district and dispatched two
warships, the Duranee and Zelee,
with fresh water and provisions.
The Italian man-of-war Calabria ac-
sompanied the two French vessels
On their errand of mercy. AS the
supply of fresh water and provisions
was totally exhausted by the storm
1t is feared that many lives will be
lost before the relief ships arrive.
AS far as is known eight white peo-
pie were among the drowned. Added
to this number was an unknown
woman. who committed suicide from
fright.
AS the islands were barely 20 feet
above sea level and not surrounded
by, coral reefs it was necessary for
all the Inhabitants to take to the
cocoanut trees when the tidal wave
began to cover the land. These trees
grow to an immense height, many
reaching an altitude of 100 feet. AL
Of the lower trees were covered by
the raging seas which swept with
pitiless force about and over them.
The natives in the taller trees were
safe until the cocoanut roots gave
way and then they, too, were swept
onward, far out into the sea-

SERIOUS IN CHINA.
Travellers Just Returning Predict
a Widespread Revolt
1t L. Said That American Soldiers from, the
Philippines Have Gone There and Are
Drilling the Boxers-yio-
Iating a Treaty.

San Francisco, Feb. 10.-Previous
reports of a threatened outbreak in
China against Caucasian residents is
confirmed by several persons who
have just arrived here from the ORR
ent. DIR. James Young, surgeon of
the steamer China, David Austin and
g. j. Kavanaugh are among those
who give accountst of the menacing
attitude of the boxers.
DR.. Young, accompanied by Austin
and an American engineer, and under
the direction of Chinese guide, went
to Canton when the steamer China
was at Hong Kong. Once within the
gates of the walled city," the party
was beset by rabble and was met
with demands for money. At the out
set the Chinese were complacent, but
the moment the tourists refused their
request for coin the Mongolians
hurled stones at the visitors and
drove them in terror to the five-story
pagoda, where they were temporarily
free from molestation.
Mr.. Kavanaugh declares the center
of the impending revolution is in
southern China and not in the north,
where the last outbreak occurred. I'm
Canton and the southern provinces,
he said, ''where there was no activity
during tie uprising in 1900, it is now
thoroughly alive with cut-throats.
The Chinese are procuring arms and
ammunition in open violation of the
treaty with the powers at the time
the former uprising was settled. The
movement is being planned carefully.
NAM Americans who were in the
Philippines have gone to China and
are engaged in drilling and training
thu Chinese. 1t is my belief that the
UPRISING will take place at not far
distant date"
