Washington correspondent
writes: No suggestion has been re
ceived here with more interest in po-
litical circles in Washington than the
plan credited to Senator Tillman for
the inauguration of a negro passport
law in the south. The question is
one which will effect northern com
munities only indirectly in that 1t
may give them some of the at pres
ent exceedingly surplus negro popula-
ton of the Southern states. Politi-
clans in Washington of all shades OF
oninion have evinced the deepest in
terest in the suggestion. but few OF
them are willing to talk for publica-
tion. Some of them effect not to take
II seriously, and class it along with
Senator'S Hears famous proposal to
set aside an island to which anarch-
lists could be transported and allowed
TO live in enjoyment of their own
creed. 1t is quietly admitted, how
ever. that the passport proposal can
not be disposed of in the same light
Uav II is likely that it will form an
important issue in the coming cleo
lions. and it is characterized as one
of the few practical proposals looking
10 a solution of the race problem. one
of the features of the situation which
makes practical politicians believe the
passport system can be put into Ell
feet is the fact that it will not re-
ouire national legislation. Were a
federal bin on the subject to be in
troduced in Congress it would be beat
en- as a moral certainty; it would not
even nut IN the fight that was crea-
ted over the Force Bill, but the fact
that the passport system can be en-
acted as a state law, makes II more
than probable in the eyes of veteran
noliticians that ii will be grasped with
greater avidity even than was the
lin Grow Car Law" which has now
spread over the whole region south
of the Potomac and the Ohio. AS a
national issue. the question will new
er have a chance to be raised; out
as a burning local necessity. it is sure
tn have its effect on the national cam
paign. In the states Of the Union
where the negro is practically an IN
known quantity. there will be criti-
cism and reviling of the South. but
through the Black Belt and the other
sections where such restrictive Leg
islation is known by dire experience
TO be an absolute necessity, the pro-
posal is apt to be welcomed as an ex
ceedingly moderate and humane way
out of an almost inextricable socio-
political tangle."

EARTHQUAKES IN COLOMBIA.
Coast Towns Devastated by Giant
Tidal Wave, Following the Shocks.

Buena Ventura, Colombia, via Gal
weston, Feb. 2S.-An earthquake oc-
Cured at twenty-five minutes to ele-
ven on the morning of the 21st, last
ing about seven minutes, the move
ment being from the north to the
south.
The town was considerably shak-
EN- The damage, however, was
small, but the people were thrown
into a panic, kneeling, weeping and
praying in the streets. All the clocks
in the town were stopped, while the
cables were broken in many places.
Following the earthquakes there
was a tidal wave, which was of no
consequence here, but the reports
from the coast, including an area of
fifty leagues to the south, state that
two thousand were killed by falling
houses or drowned by the wave,
whole families having been lost
Sailing vessels report having en-
countered hundredsof corpses and
quantities of dead fish, and many
small settlements were completely
swept away.

Won't Turn Xeternns Ont.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 2S.-Com-
missioner Warner has abolished the
appointment division of the Pension
Office He has ordered the chief to
duty as an examiner and assigned
the clerks to other bureaus. The of
fee force is being reduced constantly.
The Commissioner is not dismissing
any clerks, but he is not filing any
vacancies created by deaths or resig-
nation.
Many of the pension employees are
old soldiers, and they are dropping
off at a rapid rate The work of the
Office has decreased so on account of
the smaller number of claims for
pensions presented that the clerical
force is much larger than is neces-
sary, but as many of the clerks
served in the field in the civil war it
is proposed to let thin remain in the
government service until they resign
or die.
