MINISTER CHAMPIONS
CAUSE OF NEGRO RACE
State of Southern Feeling Decried
from Pulpit by the Rev.
Mr.. Tippy.
WHITE MANS BURDEN

1.-THE Question of the Negro" was the
subject which the Rev. Worth M. Tippy
used at the Broadway NJ. E. Church last
evening. Mr. Tippy said: Almost every
race that holds it's present territory came
there by migration and conquest. The white
race came from the neighborhood of the
Caucacus, fighting its way into Egypt,
Greece, Rome, Europe and America.
80 far as / know the negro race has
never moved out of its continent. The ne
gro came TO America, not a conquering
race but in the holds of slave ships. There
were a million of them in 1S0S when the nom
importation act was passed. The race has
increased from 100000 In 1905 to nearly
100000 at the present time.
l suppose there is not more difficult
question before US than what to do with
the negro in America The state of feel
ing on the question Is becoming extremely
sensitive and dangerous. Within the last
year the opposition TO the negro has in
creased rapidly.
This is shown by the movement for dis
reimbursement in the South, closing of
hotels, jim-crow cars, by fearful vengeance
in cases of assault and by the increasing
sentiment to cut off the negros opportunity
for education and to limit his economic
freedom" Mr.. Tippy then discussed the
different solutions for the race question.
II am convinced that the American people
will give the negro a fair chance" he said

CHICAGO RICH PEOPLE
SCATHEO BY PREACHER
He Declares They Are Pagans and
Are Doing Nothing for the
Salvation of the City.
PREDICTS A CLASS WAR

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-The Rev. DR.. James
S. Stone, rector of st. James Episcopal
Church, the membership of which is largely
made up of wealthy persons. caused COM
ment when in the course of a sermon to-
day he denounced the rich of Chicago. He
said, in part:
THAT there are multitudes in this city
who neither fear God nor regard man." said
DR.. Stone. ''is largely due to two causes;
one the ignorance or weakness of many
congregations; and the other, the irreligion
of our influential and well-to-do people.
There are many exceptions noble and
praiseworthy, for which we thank God and
take courage. But for the greater part
the people of financial and social influence
in Chicago-the people who could, if they
would, do so much for the salvation of the
city, the people that are going TO suffer the
most in that terrible conflict between the
classes that is threatening this country, the
nearneSs of which seems apparent and the
center of which will be this very city, the
end of which no man knows-these people
who should be the first in Christian exam
pie, and in every good work. are living the
lives Of pagans; nice pagans, if you WILL
but as surely pagans"

AUSTRIAN FARMERS
OPPOSE FOREIGN MEATS
Butchers Also Against the Intro
duction of Beef and Pork from
America.

VIENNA, Jan. 31.-The efforts of the
Municipal Council to reduce the price OF
meat to the people of Vienna by securing
the importation OF transatlantic meat prod
ucts are meeting with very strong OPPOSE
ton from agrarian interests. Associations
of farmers and cattle men and peasants
unions throughout Austria have addressed
kilograms of protest to the Ministry of the
Interior and the City Council urging that
irreparable damage would be done the agri-
cultural interests of the country by the
importation of meat from the otheH side OK
the Atlantic
The butchers Of Vienna being opposed to
the sale of foreign meat, the Pork Butch
ers' Association has taken up the matter
and now announce that the first shipment
of Argentine beef TO Vienna will arrive
here next Tuesday. II appears TO be very
doubtful, however, whether the government
will permit this shipment 10 be sold.
During the past few days agents of prom
inent American packing houses have been
investigating the local situation. but they
appear TO think that the present is not a
favorable time to enter the Austrian mar
ket.

CONSUL SKINNER LOUD
IN PRAISE OF MENELIR
Grand Reception Given Americans
by King of Abyssinia-Great
Field for Good Trade.
JAPANESE" OF AFRICA

MARSEILLES, Jan 31-The following
details OF the governmental mission to
King Menelik, of Abyssinia, which was led
by United States Consul Robert p. Skin
neT, have been obta ned. Mr.. SINNERS
party arrived here yesterday on board the
steamer Victoria. The American marines
and buejackets who accompanied the ex-
petition were left at Alden, and went on TO
join the American gunboat Machias. Con-
sui Skinner and the other members OF the
party are in good health, and they speak
enthusiastically Of the reception accorded
them by King Menelik. On the way to the
coast the party saw an elephant and heard
a number of lions but experienced no excit-
ing adventures. In the course Of an in
terview Mr.. Skinner said:
President Roosevelt selected most op-
perfume time for establishing relations with
Ethiopia. as Americans heretofore have
been too Indifferent to the remarkable de-
velopment which is now going on in Abys-
sinia. Our cotton goods pass through
many hands before being sold at high prices
in Abyssinia. but now Americans have
opportunity to conduct their own trade.
King Meneik will send some of the prod
ucts of his country to the st. Louis exposi-
llOlls DIS We'll as a COMMISSION composer
of able men to show the Americans the
commercial opportunities in Abyssinia. The
King is a broad-minded statesman, who
will welcome Americans.
During the visit of the Skinner party at
the capital King Menel.k received them
surrounded by an imposing assemblage OF
2.OOO funCtionaries. The escort of American
marines established a camp called Camp
Roosevelt which attracted a great deal OF
interest. The King made a personal inspec-
ton of the camp which lasted for three
hours, and, after having witnessed the
maneuvers of the marines, he asked one of
the men for his gun, and loaded and fired it,
This act on the part of the King pleased
the visitors greatly. The Americans were
impressed with the assimilative ability of
the Abyssinians, Consul Skinner saying that
the country is being rapidly modernized,
and that new roads. bridges water supplies,
telephones and telegraph lines are being
constructed. He considers the Abyssinians
to be the Japanese of Africa. He points
out however, that the postal and banking
systems are defective and unsatisfactory.
The money is on a silver basis Consul
Skinner believes that Americans will find
a large field for activity in the gold, coal,
petroleum and asphalt possibilities OF Abys-
sinia. An official report of the result of the
mission has been forwarded to Washington.

JAPAN MODELLING
ON LAND IND SEA

LONDON, Feb. 1.-Caron Hayashi, the
japanese minister TO Great Britain. said
last night that his government did not know
what Russia's answer would be and that it
was, therefore, impossible to say whether
war was probable or not. The fact that the
Russian reply had not yet been dispatched
showed, according to the minister, that
Russia's decision had not yet been taken. as
it was hardly probable if a decision had
been reached that the note should be de-
layed.
A dispatch received here from Tien-Tsin
says Russia is purchasing large quantities
of Kaiping coal for immediate delivery at
Port Arthur, where the stocks of coal are
believed to be running low.
The correspondent of the Daily Mail at
Che-Poo cables he has learned that the
Japanese naval reserves were modified
last week, and that the first army reserve
was partly modified with great secrecy,
the troops arriving at their destinations
have been requsitioned, the correspondent
continues, and twenty-eight transports and
thirty-eight warships are lying at Saseho,
north by west of Nagasaki
Forty transports filled with the Kumanato
division are lying in Takeshiki harbor in
Tsu Shima ready for invasion. The destina-
ton OF these latter vessels is believed to be
Chung-Yu, whence the isolation of Korea
could be easily effected.
1.-The Russian and japanese authorities"
the same correspondent continues, profess
ignorance of the Argun incident. but
learn that the japanese cruiser Chiioda sig
nailed the Argun to stop, and as no notice
OF this was taken, fired across the bows
of the Argun, whereupon the Russian
steamer, which was beyond neutral waters,
stopped and the Chiioda sent a search party
on board"
The correspondent Of the Morning Post at
Che-Foo cables that a British vessel and
some others engaged in a regular service
to Port Arthur had been stopped when
about to enter that port. Competent judges,
the Posts correspondent goes on, predict
the total failure of the Russian commits
sariat in the event of prolonged hostilities.

Speaking of the aims of the federation,
Bishop McFaul of Trenton, n. j., said that
1t would accomplish much in the direction
of doing away with two great deficiencies
of the Catholic Church. One of these, he
said, was the lack of a recognized and or
ganized Catholic opinion, the other being
the lack of an organ to disseminate such an
opinion if Ii existed. Meetings and conven-
tons of the federation. said Bishop McFaul.
would answer the purpose of crystallizing
and disseminating the opinions of the
church on such questions as divorce and
education.
Retain the present public school sys-
TENS" said Bishop McFaul, "but, do not bar
Catholics out of their rights as citizens The

shall be no public moneys paid out for re-
ligious instruction in any school. But let

the children an education which comes up
to the requirements of the State. then let
the State pay for it,

New York; Walter G Smith, of Philadel-
pha; Bishop John S. Foley, of Detroit;
Nicholas Conner, of Dubuque, Ia, and
Archbishop Messmer. of Milwaukee.

board changed the date for the annual con-
vention at Detroit from July 10 10 Aug q

ton fund of 5000 should be raised and also

United states under a Berlin date to the
effect that during recent maneuvers of
Russian troops n bridge was blown up by

eral OF Moscow. resulting in the killing or
wounding Of fifty officers and loco men,

The report is evidently a revamp of an
accident which occurred during the ma
neuvers of the summer OF 1892. Grand Duke
Serge was then defending Moscow against
General Kuropatkin. Owing TO a mistaken
order, which was not given by the grand
duke. few men were killed at the blowing
up of bridge.
