Frightening, if we are to judge by the
reports which are being sent out from
eliable agencies in New York. The
almost universal feeling seems to be to
let well enough alone" President THE.
oDoRE ROOSEVELT is a remarkable char
acter. He is to an extent handi capped
rather than helped by the possession OF
che presidential Office. Persons who
have been necessarily disappointed may
use their influence to encompass his
downfall. He has met all of the issues
presented in a manner that has tended
co strengthen him.
His defeat would paralyze financial
interests for while and bring disaster
TO many of the business enterprises of
the country. The attitude of the Dem
ocratic Party with reference to the col
ored people and the demand by many
of its journals for the repeal of the 14th
and 10th Amendments make it utterly
impossible for the average colored citi
zen to do otherwise than cling to the
old land mark and vote with the Party

Russians Nav Retreat.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 1.-The expec-
tation of serious Developments at the
theatre OF war has again failed Of
realization. The official dispatches
record nothing more serious than the
usual skirmishes. The strategists at the
war Office are generally inclined to be-
lieve that the expected great battle
may be deferred, and possibly may not
occur this year, though the Japanese
may make desperate effort to flank
General Kuropatkin and compel him to
surrender Mukden. If General Kuropat-
kin is convinced that the Japanese are
now numerically superior he may de-
eide to draw off, as it would obviously
be Improbable to risk a general an
gagement until the vast armies to be
placed under his command can reach
Manchuria. Whatever happens, how
ever, it is not likely that the Japanese
can take Kuropatkin unawares.

WAR PANIC
in LONDON
AlarmiSt Reports Concerning Russia
Caused Great Excitement
WAS NOTHING TO JUSTIFY 1T

London, Nov. Negotiations be-
tween Great Britain and Russia look
ing to a settlement of the North Sea
affair are progressing favorably, and
there is not the slightest danger of any
friction arising between the two gov
ernments. TIL constitution of the in
ternational commission under The
Hague convention is on the verge of
settlement
In spite of these pacific conditions,
that can only be compared to the panic
that can only be compared TO tn epanic
created on Sunday, October %, when
the news of the sinking of the trawlers
in the North Sea was received. Not for
years have so many alarmist reports
and flaming extras flooded London.
The most extraordinary feature OF this
scare. which was serious enough while
it lasted, is that there was not one sim
gle circumstance to Justify it. The ex-
element started when the newspapers
announced the departure of the Rus
sian Baltic squadron from Vigo. The
public were not in possession of the in
formation cabled by the Associated
Press to the United States that only the
officers concerned in the firing on the
British trawlers would be detached,
| and jumped at the conclusion that Rus
STA had broken faith by not OBTAINING
the vessels involved in the affair On
top of this came wild reports of ire
mendous activity at Gibraltar. Hour by
hour the news from Gibraltar became
L..
was reached with the announcement
that the British fleet had cleared for
action. Some even said the fleet had
sailed to meet Rojestvensky's squad
ron. In huge type the papers made the
parallel statements: THE Russian
feet has sailed"-"The British fleet
has cleared for action" No newspaper
and no person seemed able to explain
| these events. The reassuring informa-
! ton available in the United States
that the sailing of the Baltic squadron
| from Vigo was with the knowledge of
| and agreeable to the British govern
ment was not even limited at by the
! papers here.
The news from Gibraltar became
| more and more alarmiSt, and finally
| the foreign Office was overrun by re-
| porteEs, some of whom brought the
! rumor that Admiral Beresford had al
| ready sunk the remnant of Admiral
Rojestvensky's feet. Ambassador
| Benkendorf at that moment was
| quietly discussing with Foreign Minis
ter Lansdowne the personnel of the
international commission, but it was

ing an ultimatum. Premier Balfour

REWARDS OFFERED,

aTHE town counsel OF Berkeley has of
fered a reward of $4,000 fer the arrest
and conviction of the lynchers Of the
colored man, GEORGE BLoUNT. and the
county IF Norfolk has supplemented
this by reward of 81 100000 and the
Governor of the state announces that
he will offer reward also. Still no
one has been arrested. That these MUIR
derers can be arrested and punished
hardly admits of question.
Turnkey FERRELL should unques.
tlonably be proceeded against. 1t is a
reflection upon the community to have
in Office man, who seems to be unable
to resist the temptation to de-
liver up prisoners at will, provided his
visitors produce revolvers and threaten
to kill him. The colored people of
Berkeley have conducted themselves in
a model manner, but it is evident that
conditions there are not at all satlsfacto-
ry to them. The only way to emphasize
the opposition to mob methods is to ar
rest and punish the persons guilty of 1T.
The best time to punish lyncher is
at the time he ispracticing his unlawful
profession. One or two dead or wound
ed lynchers will establish beyond ques-
ton the facts relative to ideutity. If
colored men had attempted to lynch a
white prisoner, even though their faces
were concealed by masks, all that it
would have been necessary to do the
next morning would have been to 90
out in the roadway an examine the
hfeless bodies of the men engaged in
such murderous practices.
Conservative colored men will learn
more sense after while, and a solution
of these embarrassing questions will

The Baptist Ministers of Richmond

THE Baptist Ministers of Richmond,
(white) adopted a series Of resolutions
last Monday at their usual meeting that
will rank with the best dissertations
upon this subject and will place that
denomination in the forefront of the
religious bodies now making pleas for
the Observance of the laws of the land
and the observance of those great prir-
ciples which have stood the test of the
ages. We have read the resolutions
carefully and we have no hesitation in
saying that they virtually announce
the dawn of a new era of iberality in
this section of the Southland. 1t is on
ly surprising that the principles por-
trayed and the facts announced have
not been the subject of discussion b.
fore this.
We shall discuss these resolutions in
another issue. They are far too impor.
tant and far.reaching in their declara-
lions to be dismissed by the wave of
q hand.
The leaven is working. COP has
heard and is answering our prayers and
the pulpit. the white Baptist pulpit, is
awakening from long sleep.
