THE YACHT "GALILEEv
Made for Her Reclassifica-
ton,

The Carnegie Institution has asked the
Department of Commerce and Labor to re-
classify the yacht "Galilee" SO that it will
pot be compelled to enter and clear at Gus
toms ports while engaged in making a mag
netic survey Of the North Pacific ocean, in
the interests Of navigation. The yacht has
been chartered at San Francisco by the de-
partment of terrestrial magnetism OF the in
stitution. -Four scientists have been engaged
to make the survey. for which 81, 900 has
been appropriated. and the work will prob
ably cover period of three years. The
yacht Is now registered merchantmen,
which would require that 1t clear at all do
nestle and foreign ports entered. To escape
this provision the yacht would have to be
registered as a pleasure craft. Under either
classification the Department of Commerce
and Labor would have to stretch point,
technically. and an effort will be made to
give the Carnegie Institution the relief
sought. The yacht will carry no passengers
for hire, nor any cargo other than the sup
plies necessary for the survey.

RESENT IMPUTATION.
Magistrate Terrelrs Characterization
Of Colored Race.

Robert H. Terrell. colored justice Of the
peace. offended some of the coored men,
bers Of the bar by his recent speech before
the Colored Business Mems League In New
York. in the course Of which. 1t Is said. he
declared that there are $4,000 Idle negroes
in the District of Columbia.
At meeting of these colored lawyers
yesterday. held In the office of w. Calvin
Chase. who presided, a committee was ap-
pointed to see the Attorney General and
request the removal OF Justice of the
Peace Terrell, who was declared in the
resolution adopted at the meeting to be IAN
improper person to be justice Of the peace"
Several speeches ere made at the meet
ing and the resolution asking fov the re-
moval Of Mr.. Terrell was adopted It was
also decided to recommend another colored
man as the successor to Justice Terrell, If
removed. or at the expiration Of his term
When the foregoing was brought to the
attention of Mr.. Terrell today. he said:
II know nothing whatever about the
meeting of the colored lawyers which was
held yesterday to discuss some remarks
made by me on The Negro Servant Prob
iem,' except what have seen in the press.
have absolutely no fear of any action the
meeting has taken or may hereafter take in
the matter. l am opposed to the idlerS in
my race, whatever their number may be.
1t Is a dangerous element among any peo-
pie, and In our present condition especially
dangerous to US. I am In favor OF urging
colored men and women who must do
mental labor to do 1t well. That Is all there
Is to my contention.
1.-The attempt to raise a great hue and
cry over the matter Of q statement OF the
number of idlers Is begging the question.
As have said before, there Is a dangerous
ly large number of idlers among my people
in Washington. and these lawyers who are
debating the subject ought to know 1t IL
they are observant men and are the leaders
they pretend to be. So far as I am con-
cerned have no good word to say for the
willing idler or the incompetent servant.
Let these lawyers champion their cause II
they see fit to do SO.
II am for the Industrious man and wom-
an and the competent servant among US.
No meetings of lawyers or any other body
OF men will swerve me from my purpose
in trying to help my people along the lines
l have adopted, and no criticism or opposi-
ton from any source will stop me. think
the real people In interest In this matter
the working people-know me and under
stand my attitude. do not lay claims to
leadership among the people OF my race but
I hope / shall prove myself a useful citi-
zen always, and try to help those who need
help along the lines OF their vocation
"As to my removal from my office for the
cause set forth In todays press. 1t Is too
absurd to be seriously discussed. hardly
think the lawyers who are alleged to have
been present at the meeting In question will
think of presenting any such proposition to
the Attorney General"
