The Race Question.

While Mr.. Cummings will make 10 ref
erence to the race question in his speech, he
is convinced that the course pursued by
President Roosevelt has so favorably i'm
pressed the colOred people that the full

other sections where the ballots of colored

will be because they are prevented from
doing so. In the past colored men have
felt that the republican party contained
TIER friends, and that in the long run their
interest would be served by that party to
d greater extent than by any other politi-
cal organization. But they were not en-
tLusiastic. Many of them failed to vote in
the states In which their votes were worth
having. Now they feel that their inter-

District Suffrage Proposition.

Speaking of the proposition to give the
District of Columbia suffrage Senator
Scott, who presided over the national COM
mfttee yesterday and who has taken an
especial interest in the affairs of the Dis
trict, said ne favored the idea in gem
eral way. but he thought it was ques-
tion that should be very thoroughly con-
sdered; He thought 1t would find con-
siderable favor among the delegates
Mr.. Chaplin Brown is here as the proxy
of Mr. Myron NJ. Parker member of the
national committee from the District of
Columbia. He will continue to exercise
all the powers of a national committee
man until the new committee is formed.
Delegates Reyburn and Cook have not
yet determined upon their selection Of
committeeman and they will not do so
until after they meet here on Monday
Members of the national committee were
Instructed by Senator Scott at the meeting
this afternoon to hold meetings of state
delegations not later than Monday for the
selection of members of the committees on
credentials. rules and order of business
permanent organization. resolutions and to
notify nominees for President and vice
President of the convention. Also for the
selection OF vice presidents of the conyen-
ton and members of the national COM

ton Mr.. Brown will ask DR.. Reyburn and
Mr. Cook to meet as early Monday as pos
sible. The selections to be made will de-
pend entirely upon the delegat ties. AS the
District has but two delegates they will
each be on more than one committee, hav-
Ing more such assignments than members
OF larger delegations.
DR.. Reyburn will probably be made a
member of the committee on resolutions In
which capa city he VIII. be able to personally

Where Life Originated.
Professor G. r. Wieland Of Yale

London, Feb. 26.-From a careful
comparison from the score of versions
of the Japanese attack upon Port Ar
thur that have reached here the fol-
lowing facts seem to be well estab-
lished:
First-Admiral Togo sought to re-
peat Lieutenant Hobson's feat at San
tiago of blocking the entrance to Port
Arthur
Second-He sent in four old mer-
chant vessels captured from the Rus
slams, loaded with stone and eXplo-
sives.
Third-He planned to blow up the
ships when they reached the desig-
forming an impossible barrier.
The Russians were on the qui-vive,
the injured Retvizan, still on the
rocks. opening fire on the Japanese
torpedo dotilla which escorted the
four fire ships. Other Russian ships
and shore guns joined in.
Two of the Japanese ships were
sunk, not, however, before they pene-
trated the harbor, one of them going
down under the shadow of the light
house on Tiger Tail, one-half mile in
side the harbor, and the other under
Golden Hill, a mile inside. The 9TH
ers were SO badly injured they were
beached outside.
One of the Japanese torpedo boats
was destroyed, one grounded, two 9th

get away.

Japanese Would Use 1t as Base of
Operations.

Operations.
Toxic, Tuesday, Feb. 23.-(Delayed
in transmission) -Advices are hourly
anticipated here of the third naval
engagement which has taken place at
Port Arthur. 1t was known that the
fleet under command of Admiral Togo
had been in motion, but the nature of
the operation about to be undertaken
had not been disclosed to the navy
department. The latter admits an
ticipating information. 1t is thought
here that Admiral Togo first attacked
with his torpedo boats and then she'll
ed Port Arthur. The opinion express
ed by the foreign ministry here Is,
however, united against the ability
of the Japanese warships to shell the
place without dangerous exposure to
the heavy guns of the shore batteries
The Japanese, however, are confident
that the place is vulnerable at three
points of the seaside and in proof of
their opinions, is the explosion of a
number of shells in the town on the
occasion of the recent night fight. The
Japanese

formation in regard to distances and
ranges. A bombardment of the place
should prove highly destructive, as it
Is narrow and cramped. A few shells
thrown over the hills into the basin
holding the bay and town could not
fail to do serious execution. The
Japanese shells are charged with a
high explosive and are very effective,
and it is believed possible to render
the harbor untenable for Russian war
ships by bombardment and force them
to put to sea and fight in the open.
1t isSthought here that the withdraw

and records to Hardin is an admission
OF the weakness of the place and of
it's inability to make a sustained de-
