THE RACE PROBLEM.
What to Do With the White Han In
 the South.

Chicago, Oct 29..'It is not ques- ton of what we shall do with the ne gro in the south, but what. we shall do with the white man. That is the prob lem," said President W. G. Frost ot Berea college, Berea, Ky, in lecture before the Northern Illinois Teachrs' association.
 President Frost depicted the condi- tion of the poor uneducated white man in the mountainous districts of Ken lucky. He told what struggles and sacrifices the mountaineers often un- dergo to get an education, and de scribed the difficulties under which a teacher was forced to labor in that part of the country.
 .sThe need of competent teachers in the south is great" said MT Frost. "Those best fitted to teach the ele- mentary branches are the ones who can perform the most good. There is scarcity of elementary teachers to-day bcause the average pedagogue aspdres too high and will not be content 70 teach the rudiments of reading, writ ing and arithmetic"

 DOUBTS IT
That Story Told By Admiral Rojestvensky Eng lis h Papers Feel That British Contention Will be Up- held.

London, Oct 29.-Profound satisfac- tiOn at the fact that an arrangemen has been reached and the entire cer- tainty that the result of the commits sion of the inquiry will be to discredit anent the presence of torpedo boats among the North sea fleet marks the comments of the London afternoon newspapers almost universally The admiral's story, it is pointed out, has the great advantage that it is capa- ble of precise proof or disproof. ..The Russian admiral can only make good his case by producing the vessel whose presence he alleges was among the trawlers,'' says the Westminster Gazette. This feeling that the British contention will be upheld pervades all classes and disposes the public to calmly await the verdict.
 Trading on the stock exchange opened buoyantly and prices consider ably advanced all around.
 The composition of the internation- al commission is the immediate sub ject of comunica tions passing between St Petersburg and London It has been suggested that it shall be com prised of five admirals. French, Rus sian and English and two from small. CT powers, possibly Denmark and HoI-l land. to be nominated by their re- spective governments. Nothing, how ever has definitely been decided. No American member has been suggested though there might be an opening, there for in the proposal that one law Jurist from a neutral power shall be included in the commission.
 Thus far no time limit has been fix ed for the end of the inquiry. After fuller communication with St Peters burg. 1t is now understood, upon the conclusion of the inquiry now pro- ceeding at Vigo all xhe Russian ships will be allowed to proceed, only the material witnesses being detained.

WOODSON'S 'SCLAIM
He Says Parker Will Be Elected By Overwhel-
 ing Majority.

New York, Oct 29.-Urey Woodson, secretary of the democratic national committee, who said he was speaking for the committee to-day predicted the overwhelming election of Judge Parker. He predicted that all the doubtful states vii be democratic and also that some states called republi- can will be and are doubtful. He sosid that Parker would carry New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Indi- ana, Maryland, West Virginia, Idaho, Colorado, Utah and Nevada. Illinois is doubtful and Ohio is also doubtful. The big men who controlled the state are now dead. The republicans as- sume that they are going to win, but we hear that they might lose that state. Maryland is certainly as as democratic as Kentucky. West Virginia is as sure as Maryland. Even California has sent good reports and we are hopeful of carrying that state.

MAY RECALL. FLEET.

Tokio. Oct go (noonl.--A prominent officer on the Japanese naval staff said to-day that he believed the Russian Baltic fleet would not some far on their was east. He did not believe that the Russian government desires to send it at all. and it was likely that the trawl- CT affair in the North Sea would be used as an excuse for the recall of the fleet. Instancing reasons upon which he based his belief, he says that the fleet commander, Admiral Rojestven- sky, was sick when he left port, and it seemed very improbable that the Russian government, if their inten- tions were serious, would send a sick admiral to navigate many thousands of miles to combat superior force at the end of long cruise.
 If there were any torpedo boats among the trawling fleet which was fired upon by the fleet, it was the duty of the Russian officer in command" he said, ito pursue them and investigate the base of their dispatch. Russia by delay was seeking to render the diplo- maric situation with England more critical to afford a plausible excuse to recall it's fleet.
