NEGROES AT PRETORIA

SpeC1al OlSpdlCu 70 G'SAAAAB (oRAe@--
Washington, ID. c., Oct. 6.-The
sta te department has received from
Joseph Z. Profit, United States Con-
sui at Pretoria, petition from thir-
teen American negroes who appeal
for their treaty rights. and claim the
liberties which they enjoyed under
the late Boar government, but which
have been abrogated on account OF
their color. They are debarred from
riding in second class carriages on the
railways, and from walking on the
sidepaths, from which they are thrown
like chattels. They are not permitted
to start in business, and are told that
they must accept the same treatment
as the natives. They declare that
sthis and more makes our position I'M
bearable. . The Consul comments on
the petition to the effect that the
statements contained in it are sub
stantially correct, not because the Pc
titioners are American ciiiznes, but
because it is the custom to treat all
natives in the same fashion as negroes
are treated in the Southern states Of
America
