4 STATEMENT
WILL EMleRATE TO AFRICA.
coIored Bishop Of New York Diocese
Tired of America.

New York. March l6.--Bishop Will
lam Benjamin Derrick. who for the
past four years has been the presiding
bishop OF the New York diocese OF
the African Methodist Episcopal
church and for the past twenty-five
years one Of tho most aggressive and
active men in the colored race, has
declared that he is tired of America
and yearns for the land OF his fore
fathers in Africa. This announcement
he made in addressing the members
of the New York conference and the
general conference will soon assign a
new bishop 10 take his place.
u Mob attacks, lynchings and the
burning of negroes are too much for
him he said, and continued:
81 do not advocate retaliation, but
we should stand up mantully and pro.
test and appeal to the few friends thnt
we have left TO see To 1t that we get
justice since we are here. We cannot
win by preaching too much peace and
brotherly love, for as soon as the ne
gro shows too much Of this spirit the
white man says he is n coward.
''1'he manly man strikes back, We
demand manhood rights. not black
manhood rights nor white manhood
rights.
Il do not ask for social equality or
amalgamation, but for our own choice
OF selection as to taste and fitness, !
want everything thnt any other man
may have. Bul tho white man cannot
be Just to us because he has in him

CAUSES INDIGNATION.
Departure of British and American
Gunboats From Newchwang.

Tientsin, March 16.-The haste OF
the British and American gunboats to
leave Newchwang, while the intentions
of the Japanese are unknown and
while consular Jurisdiction and the
full treaty port rights of neutrals are
unquestioned, thus prematurely aban-
doning the protection heretofore main
tanned, has provoked the indignation
Of residents and an official protest has
been made to the United States gov
eminent This was done especially
in view of the action Of the japanese
in placing their consulate and other
property under British protection,
their example being initiated by the
Russians transferring, as indicated in
previous dispatches, their extensive
bank, consular and also civil admins
tration properties to the French, there
by rendering Russian, japanese and
other interests alike neutral. The
protest was also sent because Of the
manner of withdrawing a British gun
boat and what is understood as the
American intention Of withdrawal are
regarded as Da1pable neglect. inviting
depredatiOns upon British ana Amer
lean interests.

Japs Say Russians Fought Des-
perateIy in Recent Attack Made
by Torpedo Fleet on Shipping
and Harbor Defenses.

Tok1o, March 16.-It is strongly be-
Neved here that the Russian fleet
abandoned Port Arthur after the fourth
attack made upon it by the Japanese
fleet and is endeavoring to reach Vladi-
yostok Confirmation of this move
ment is not obtainable from any reli.
able source, but recent scouting in the
vicinity of Port Arthur has failed to re-
veal the presence of any Russian war
ships 1t seems logical enough that
the Russians should attempt a dash
for Vladivostok, where it is possible
to dock larger ships, effect junction
with their armored cruiser squadron
and secure base for operations,
while possessing adequate land de-
fenses.
The hopelessness of continuing at
Port Arthur is manifest, while dash
for Vladiyostok might succeed, con-
trary to the opinion previously ex-
pressed. Vice Admiral Togo is unWil-
ling to run the risk of dividing his
battleship squadron and continues to
operate the six battleships together.

TWENTY-FIVE DEAD RUSSIANS,
Japs Find Many Bodies on Enemys
Torpedo Boats.

Torpedo Boats.
Toxic, March 16.-The steamer
bearing ten wounded and the bodies
of nine of the seamen who were killed
in the Port Arthur fight on the 10th
inst. has reached Sasebo The wound
ed and dead were chiefly participants
in the battle between the japanese
and Russian torpedo boat destroyers.
The survivors unite in praising the
desperately heroic attack of the Rus
SLAMS and tell story Of a personal en-
counter between japanese sailor and
the captain of the Russian destroyer
Stereguschtchi. When the japanese
closed on the Russians the sailor
sprang aboard the enemy's vessel and
met her commander emerging from the
cabin. Sailor and captain sprang at
one another, but the sailor was the
quicker OF the two and felled the Rus.
sian officer by striking him on the
head with a cutlass. The Russian en-
deavored to rise, but the Japanese
sailor kicked him overheard and he
drowned. The Japanese say there
were twenty-five dead on the two Rus
sian destroyers.
The Japanese dead were landed at
Sasebo and received with full military
honors. They were borne on gun car
riages to the naval brigade headquar-
ters.

eALFouR MINISTRY DEFEATED IN
HOUSE OF COMMONS ON VOTE
FOR IRISH ESTIMATES.
GOVERNMENT WINS ON NEXT DIVISION
TEST REGARDED AS ANOTHER IN.
plcATloN THAT TIE PRESENT
CABINET is DOOMED.

london, March 16.-The- government
was defeated in the house Of commons
during the day by 141 To 1870 votes on
motion OF John Redmond, the Irish
leader, for a reduction OF the Irish
education estimates. As il was in the
nature of a snap division, engineered
by the Nationalists, the government
refused to resign, but i is regarded
as another straw showing the direction
of the wind.
Mr.. Redmond's motion was made
with the object of calling attention TO
Irish grievances. The division was
taken almost Immediately after the
commencement of the discussion, when
the Liberals and Nationalists were IN
strong force.
The result was greeted with great
cheering. especially from the Irish
benches The opposition Immediately
moved to report progress Premier
Balfour opposed the motion. He ad-
mittcd, amidst much laughter, that 1t
was obvious the government had been
defeated on a proposal To reduce a
vote by $500, but there was consider
able amount of financial business To
be transacted before March 81 and he
did not see why any time should be
wasted.
BaIfour Accepts Decision.
Mr.. Balfour added that the honor
able member had succeeded in reduc-
t>,. l,ic-h .lttf Ion h
$500 and the government accepted the
opinion of the house on the subject.
Mr.. Redmond retortcd We have
defeated the government
1t was then that Mr. Redmond
moved to report progress This was
defeated by III to 146 votes, the gov
ernment majority being 70. The gov
ernment in the interim had succeed
ed in mustcling enough ministeriai1sts
to save the situation, as in the event
Of a second adverse vote the minis

quent to the division:
while the general position of the
government has not been weakened
my impression Is that dissolution
will follow another such blow. Nat.
urally we arc elated. Monday evening
when the Nationalists voted with the
government on Catholic education In
England Mr.. Balfour had majority
of 100. With the Irish against him ne
had minority Of II. The moral is
that the time Is at hand when Ireland
will hold the balance of power"

feat of the government.

death of Roy Eshe and his brother-in-
law, Frank Burnett, and the fatal
wounding of DR.. w. w. Jones, five

his victims had been intimate friends

A fist fight ensued between the doc

up with a drawn revolver Dr. Jones
began shooting. Eshe was shot
through the head and instantly killed

BRITISH CONSUL PROTESTS.

Objects to Proposed Abandonment Of
Railway at NewchWang.
Tientsin, March 16.-The British
consul here has filed a protest with
Sir Ernest SatoW, the British minister
at Peking, against the projected aban-
donment of the Newchwang end OF
the Chinese railway by its directors
and the management in Great Britain.
The reasons given by the consul for
his action are that the British govern
ment had previously made known its
intention of protecting the road and
also that its abandonment at this time
means the probability of its destluc-
tion by the Russians should they even
tually be forced to retreat.
