GLENN To NEGROES
Addresses a Mass Meet
ing at Fayetteville.
He Drives Plain Truths Home, but
Speaks as a Friend, and They I'm
derstand and are Glad to
Hear.
(snecial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Fayetteville, N. c., Aug. 25.-The
event of the day at the great indus
trial and educational mass meeting of
the colored people of the upper Cape
Fear here, was the strong and telling
address of Governor GLENN The
hief executive was met at the depot
and escorted to his hotel by the mayor
and a committee representing the
white schools interests, also by COM
mittee of prominent negroes.
After dinner a long procession of
negroes in carriages, on horseback and
very creditabie floats, marched from
their school house to the hotel and
escorted the Governor and commit
tee of prominent white citizens to the
armory. After prayer by Prof. e. E.
Smith, of the Normal school, and an
address Of welcome by Rev Thurston,
the Governor was introduced by Hon.
II. l.. Cook to the overlooking negro
audience. He spoke with cheers and
amens at almost every pause, begin
mig with joke on himself He said
that q negro lawyer wanting to pay
MIN a compliment said: IF Cover
nor Glenn keeps on as he has started
he will make the best negro governor
we have ever had" The Governor
further said the best thing for the
negro was to receive laws and condl-
tons as he found them; if mot, he'd
better go North of Mason's and
DiXon's line. Be honest, pay your
debts every Saturday night; don't try
to get rich too quick. He said their
tack of virtue was their greatest fault
and sin. When q white woman fell she
was branded with the scarlet letter,
but, it was not so among negroes.
The negroes, he said should help
themselves, and if they did not, they
could not rely on the whites. The
reason why some objected to helping
them now was that the negro paid
only five percent of the taxes. The
Seaboard railway used to pay negroes
nihety cents a day, and they worked
SIX days; now they got a dollar and a
quarter and they make enough in four
days and loafed two.
The Governor said education should
not make them uppish. which offend
ed many. He advocated the enforce
ment of the VaGranCy laws. He stated
that another reason why education
was begrudged them was because it
was said that as sooIl as they were
educated they pulled up stakes to go
North instead of staying and carry
ing out the implied contract to do
their best for their own State. He
said that negroes were better paid
North, but if they did according to
the same requirements here they
would get more.,
Finishing he asked Are you mad
or glad | Came?"
The great audience cried as one:
Glad, glad, glad" They also gave
hearty affirmative answers to other
questions, promising to be more in
dustrious, honest, virtuOus and true.
The Governor exhorted them to give
literally to collection for their nor
NAL school. This was taken up and
realized a large amount.
The parade and whole program
were we'll carried out and reflected
credit on the leading negroes here and
IN the surrounding section.

Toxic through his interview with
Baron Kaneko today, still remains a
mystery. That the last word has not
come from Toxic and that Baron ko-
mura may still appear In concil1a-
tory. rule tomorrow may possibly be
Inferred from the following:
The time for the sitting of the CON-
ference tomorrow was not set when
the adjournment was taken on We'd
nesday. This evening Mr.. White,
through his secretary, notified the
Japanese mission that he was ready
to meet it in the morning at $50. The
Japanese, after consulting demurred,
on the ground that the minutes of the
last meeting would not be ready in
time. Therefore, at their request the
meeting was set for 3 o'clock in the
afternoon Information received at a
late hour indicates that President
RooseveltS efforts are not exhausted;
that he is still in communication with
Toxic and st. Petersburg. Tomor-
rows meetings consequently. is likely
not to prove decisive. 1t probably VIII
be perfunctory and some pretext prob
ably will be found to adjourn over un-
til Monday or Tuesday.
At midnight no message had reached
Mr.. White from the President and it
was regarded as practically certain
that an adjournment would be taken
tomorrow until Monday.

UNDER TWO FLAGS"
He Who Has Read That Story by
OuIida Will See it Almost Dupli-
Gated I'm This Tale From
Real Life.
(By the Associated Press. )

New York, August 25.--A strange
story as that constituting the plot of
any novel will be told to Governor
Higgins, of New York, by New York
city lawyer when he endeavors to
secure the pardon of a man who
chose to serve sentence of three
years Imprisonment in Sing Sing
prison. for theft, of which he was in
nocent, to shield the name of a Wo-
man from scandal. Carl Fisher Han
sen, the lawyer, said today that he
would at once appeal for the pardon
of the prisoner, whose name he would
not reveal at the request of the wo-
man whose reputation the prisoner
had saved at an expense of his own
liberty. The woman, Mr.. Fisher
Hansen said, had visited his office
within a few days and said that her
husband had just died and that she
now wanted to do justice to the pris-
oner. They had been friends and,
more than year ago, when her hus-
band returned unexpectedly, he
caught the other running away To
save her from scandal, the man con-
fessed that he had broken into her
home to steal. Whereupon he was ar
rested and is now in Sing Sing.
The prisoner said Mr.. Fisher Han
sen, was young college student who
disappeared from one of the colleges
when he was arrested.
II will not say whether it was Har-
ward, Yale or Princeton" said the
lawyer. No one has ever known what
became of him as he was tried and
sentenced under as assumed name.
The woman in the case has also
paid a penalty for her indiscretion as
servant who knew of the affair has
collected 5000 in blackmail from
her within a few years. She is a
member of one of the best of the OLD
families of New York and her late
husband owned several factories in
New Jersey.
The lawyer added that he expected
signed statement from the woman
and would then investigate the case.

A DECIDED HOPE FOR PEACE.
A Dispatch Sent to Witte Gives Rise
to This.

st. Petersburg, Aug 26.-2:20 a.
m.-According to information coming
from a member of the imperial fami-
ly, the Associated Press learns that
dispatch was sent to M. White yes
terday which is considered at Peter
hof as offering a decided hope of
peace The Slovo's Portsmouth corr
respondent reporting the arrival of
an eagerly expected dispatch.
quotes M. Witte as saying that his
endeavor to influence st. Petersburg
was more successful than he expected.
The correspondent adds that there is
ground for hope, as an agreement IN
principle has been reached and the
question now hinges on the amount
of the sum.
August 26-2 a. m.-Everybo in
ST. Petersburg is awaiting the devel-
opments of today in the peace moves,
and hoping that a compromise is be-
ing effected, the most likely basis of
which it is believed would be no in
demnity but a payment for Sakhalin
to be left for future adjustment.
In fact it was asserted yesterday in
an exceptionally we'll informed quart
err that this was the only possible
basis for a compromise.
The belief is expressed in some
quarters that there will be no session
at Portsmouth today. and the Assoc
ciated Press is informed ON excellent
authority that a further adjournment
could be taken as most hopeful
sign. as it would prove that serious
efforts looking to compromise were
continuing.
Up to eight o'clock last evening
Am bassador Meyer had received no
message from Washington. The idea
that President Roosevelt might again
communicate with the Emperor
through the American ambassador,
finds credence in certain official quart
ers. The exchange of kilograms be-
tween Portsmouth and the Foreign
Office continues. but the nature of
these dispatches is a most carefully
guarded secret. 1t can be asserted,
however, on the best authority. that
any suggestion to Russia from any
source whatever, that she assent to
the payment of indemnity would be
most unwelcome, though a sincere de-
sire for peace leaves her open for
the suggestion of compromise on
other grounds.

ENPERORS AND PRESIDENT.
Roosevelt Busy Trying to Make ST
Petersburg and Toxic Join Hands.

oyster Bay, l.. L., Aug. 25.-Two
EmperorS, the one at st. Petersburg,
and the other at Toxic, are the de-
termininS factors in the pending peace
negotiations. Although the negOtia-
tons temporarily are. suspended at
Portsmouth they are proceeding &C
lively through President Roosevelt at
Sycamore Hill. He is in practically
in constant communication with the
ST. Petersburg and Toxic govern
ments. BY both of the warning ma
tons his good offices have been sought
and his efforts to bring their pIenipo-
tentiaries into accord and thus pre-
vent a failure of the peace confer
ence, are unremitting.
Early in the day the President had
an extended conference with Baron
Kaneko. the recognized confidential
agent of the Japanese government in
this country. Neither the President
nor Baron Kaneko would discuss the
nature of the interview. While the
Baron's oppressed views of the peace
negotiations were not optismistic he
left a distinct impression that the
last word by no means had been
spoken and that hope of a successful
issue of the conference still was
strong. He protested that Japan had
no wish to do anything to humiliate
Russia. but oppressed the belief that
the Japanese terms were quite rea-
sonable and that no further conccs-
sions would he made.
After the departure of Baron Kane
ko. President Roosevelt was engaged
with Acting Secretary Barns for two
Elours in consideration of dispatches
received, and in the preparation Of
those to be sent.

(By the Associated Press.

oyster Bay, L. l., Aug. 25.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt late this afternoon
made a decent in Long Island Sound
on board the submatine torpedo boat
Plunger. He was aboard the vessel
about three hours. At one time the
little boat was submerged for fifty
minutes and in that time was put
through all of the submarine feats OF
which she is capable. The President
expressed delight at the novel expert
ence and said that he was immensely
impressed with the boat and with the
manner in which she was handled.
In thus Drawing the dangers of sub
marine manoeuvering, the President
has endeared himself to naval OIL
GERS and men the world over and
made Lieutenant Charles II. Nelson,
commander of the Plunger, the proud
est and happiest man in the United
States navy.
The Presidents intention not only
to make a personal inspection of the
tiny vessel, likely to prove so deadly
in naval warfare. but to make sub
marine descent in it, was reached after
conference with Lieutenant Nelson.
The Punger's commander explained
to President Roosevelt the operations
of the boat and assured him that a
trip on her and a decent into the
depths of Long Island Sound would
be as devoid of danger as would be d
trip on a New York subway express
train.
