New York. February 1~1-GovernOrs
of foremOst commercial states, foreign
ministers. consuls and men prominent
Tn the social and business world, were
the guests tonight of the Silk Associa-
ton of America at Delmonico's on the
occasion of the society's Sis annual
dinner. At the guests table with Pres
tdent Jacques Huber were Leslie NJ.
Shaw, secretary of the treasury; Cen
eraI Isaac Kahn. minister from Persia;
ID. A. TOmpkins. of Charlotte, N. c.,
and others.
Among the tOasts responded to were
~The President of the United States
BY Hon. Leslie vi. Shaw and The In
dustriaI Development of Our Sister
Southern States" by d. A. Tompkins.
d. A. Tompkins said that in the early
days of the republic the industrial de-
VelOpment of the south was about equal
to that of other parts Ot the United
States. but that it wand as slavery
gained influence and strength, because
skilled white labor vas gradually left
tho employment.
"When slavery was abolished" he
said, this influence 81 adverse to the
education OF the work ng people and to
the industrial develr,ment was gone,
but another infuen =, even more ad-
verse to progress, q Deared. The slaves
were enfranchiSed. Without entering
here upon any di- ussiOn of the error
OF this action, tn result was that for
ten or fifteen yrs after the enfran-
shisement of negro, there was
practically moth g that could be call
ed government II IN southern state"
Mr.. Tompki;r3 said that now cOndi-
tiOns are much improved, industries are
welcomed by white and negro alike,
that the elimination of children from
mills is beiI e accomplished and that
school facil: ,es are being increased. In
closing he aid: The people OF the
south recC. nize and admit that they
made q seat mistake about slavery.
They bel; we that the people of the
north m"de an equally great mistake
in handling the negro as they did in
the period succeeding the war. They
believe that we are now in that middle
eOurse in which all So-called race prob
lens will work themselves out in due
course of time and to the satisfaction
of both races at home, n all other
people.
I'VE believe we will bring a large
portion of the cOlored people to become
q most valuable element in u indus
trial development"

figure on the new books. All the
shares of sub-companies will be eXciId-

GREAT BRIrAIN.s PROTOCOL.
Conform to the British Demands.

Washington. February 1e.-Great
Rritain's protocol has been formally
accepted by Mr.. Bowen for Venezuela.
The German and Italian conventions
are still under going revision. but as
surances are given in authoritative
quarters that they eventually will be
made to conform in essential respects
to that of the British ambassador. Ow-
ing to the illness of the British am
b~aSsador, Mr.. Bowen called at the
embassy today and personally signified
his approval OF the agreement to the
ambassador. He therefore presented
his formal note Of acceptance and It
has been cabled to the London foreign
office.
1t appears that the insertion in the
German protocol of the provision for
advance payment Of the original $40
400 demanded of President Castro i'm
the German ultimatum was the result
of a Misunderstanding on the part OF
the German foreign office of certain
steps in the negotiations here. Through
the activity of the German minister,
Baron Speck Won Sternburg, this point
is being cleared up.
The Italian ambassadors instructions
are such that he can make little head

vention n it will take only a short
