BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
 SPEAKS IN NEW YORK
Urges His Race to Acquire Sense In the Most Elementary
 Trades.

New York, August 16-"The south for the negro, who must there solve the race problem by acquiring sense in the most elementary productive trades, particular ly in those relating to farming. mining, wood cutting and water power" were the key notes of an address delivered to- night by Booker T. Washington. presi- dent of the National Negro Business league at the sixth annual convention of that league, which began here today. He said in part:
 We must pay the price for everything we get. One tangible achievement in cre- ative efforts will go further in bringing to us protection and respect than any recital of wrongs we may make. In- stead of blaming somebody for not pro- vding decent surroundings and decent houses for us to occupy let Us turn our attention to acquiring some of the mill lions of unoecupied acres of land in this country, and to creating for ourselves decent surroundings and comfortable homes. Instead of complaining because work is scarce in certain quarters. let us turn our attention in a large meas ure to the fundamental sources of all occupations-that is, create out of the soil, out of wood. mineral and water, the product the world wants"

STRIKE WILL HAVE
 NJ SERIOUS RESULT
Big Contracts Placed for StruC-
 turaI Material
sESSEMER PIG IS PRIMER
Buying of Pig Iron Continues Steadily, But Not In Large Quantities. Buyers Are Eager for
 Prompt Delivery.

Cleveland, O., August 16.-(Special)--
 The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 The strike of the structural workers against the American Bridge company
 has not caused any disastrous results and indications are that fears of serious
 embarrassment of building operations
 will not be realized. The demand for
 structural material continues with in-
 creased force.
 The most important contract of the
 week is that for the Manhattan bridge, which will require 43.000 tons of steel,
 awarded the Pennsylvania Steel company.
 Large premiums are being paid for
 prompt delivery of structural material,
 ranging from $4 to S10 per ton. Inquiries for heavy tonnages of steel rails are
 pending One New York office reports that it has received an inquiry for 1000 tons from system to which 1t has re- gently sold 10000 tons. In Chicago orders for 10000 tons have been placed within few days and inquiries for 130,0OO tons are pending.
 The buying of pig iron continues stead fly but not in large quantities. In New York orders for about 50,0OO tons have been placed of which 2S,OoO tons were
 basic Bessemer pig iron Is firmer and there is apparently a scarcity in the east. as some shipments have been made from Ohio furnaces.
 A noteworthy feature of the market Is that buyers of all grades are eager for prompt delivery on contracts. Char coal furnaces report sales are satisfac- tory, one company having disposed of about 10000 tons recently The announce ment that the Iroquois Iron company will build another blast furnace near Chicago and that M. A. Hanna & Co. of Cleveland are looking for a site near Chicago shows the growing importance of that district in the manufacture of pig iron.

coMER ARRAIeNs EXISTING RAILWAY FREIGHT RATES.

MT Conner the last speaker of the afternoon concentrated his attention on the one definite question with which his political career is identified, namely the railway freight rate reform movement, and practically announced that he would be a candidate for governor. In a speech notable for intense earnestnoss, for virile and at times virulent arraignment of methods employed by railways in Ala bama, Mr. Conner said that the over shadowing question In Alabama politics was whether the railways should con tinue to dominate the political life of the state and arbitrarily wiring tribute from the people by a system of "extor- donate railway freight rates" and by eontemptuous treatment of it's patrons, or whether the people outraged and in- dgnant, should rise in their might and smite the tyrant who had consistently nlundered them

in large measure to the fact that the immigrant population who have been swarming into the northern cities of re- cent years, especially into the cities of the north Atlantic states. have been multiplying by numerous births with much rapidity, while the corresponding laboring class which has immigrated to southern cities from the surrounding country districts, has not been thus in- creasing.'
 A comparison is made between the proportion of children born of native mothers to 1000 native women of child bearing age and the proportion of children born of foreign-born mothers to 1000 for egn-born women of child-bearing age. In 1900 the former proportion was 464, the latter TO, the difference indicating the greater fecundty of foreign-born women.
 The bulletin continues:

Neqro Children Decrease.

'The comparison also indicates that the total decrease in fecundity of white women between 1890 and 1900 was the result of a decrease for native white women partly offset by an increase for foreign-born white women.'
 The proportion of negro children to negro women 15 to 40 years of age, was largest in 1850. and smallest in 1900 There has been uniformly larger proportion of negro children than of white children. That difference more than doubled be- tween 1860 and 1880, but in 1900 1t was less than half what it was in 1880. and less than at any other census except 1860.
 Though the negroes have larger pro- portion of children than the whites. it is being noticed that the whites south have A larger proportion than the whites in other sections of the country

New Orleans, August 16.-The campaign against yellow fever has now resolved itself into dry routine and today brought little in the way of new development. Here as elsewhere -he lists of new cases and deaths are scanned eagerly by the general public but the authorities do not consider the da-ls report of the for mer as unfailing barometer at this time when secondary infection and other causes are likely to contribute to wide divergence of the number from day to day.

CONTEST WILL BE A
 BATTLE BETWEEN GIANTS.

Mir. Conner stated that the contest would be fight between giants. that the railways would exhaust every resource before they would surrender their in trenched position and that the forthcoming 2 battle would be fought on the onesde by freemen determined to regain their rights and on the other side by the rail- ways. fortified by privilege and plunder.
 In conclusion, MT Conner invoked the people to rise up like men and throw off what he called the galling yoke they had so long and so patiently worn.
