NEGROES FRIENDS
 FOUND IN SOUTH This is Tenor of Giles B. Jack
 sons Speech BIRMINGHAM ..MAN TALKS Jackson at Washington Meeting Gives Reasons Why Negro Has Not So
 Many Friends as
 Formerly.
BIRMINGHAM .MAN TALKS

Washington, August 2.-(Special 1.-The Neg Young Peoples congress did not have as large an attendance here today as yesterday, but 1t was an enthusiastic gathering. There has been much dis appointment because Booker T. Wash ington did not put in appearance, but he sent a telegram explaining why he could not be on hand.
 It is noteworthy fact that in nearly all of the speeches made at the sessions today those who talked dwelt upon the fact that the south is the negro's home. and they generally advised that for the good of the race the negro should remain in that section. One of the most stirring speeches made at the convention was by Giles B. Jackson a Richmond. Va, negro who is director generol of the negro. who is directors general of the Jamestown exposition. In his address he said:
 Friends Not So Numerous.
 There are those of the white race who are friendly toward the negro; there are those of the white race who will do anything in reason to assist him. It is true our friends are not as numerous as they used to be. They are leaving us, and have been leaving US by the scores, but can't we account for this? We need their friendly counsel and advice now as well as we did forty-one years ago They are leaving us because they feel that all has been done for us that is necessary to be done.
 'I am one of those who believe that the south is the best place for the negro. 1nsthe south the negro and the white man will work sideGy side in building a house. They will draw the same wages. The white man will help to get the negro a job When the negro's house is to be sold the white man will lend him money on 1t. some times taking a mortgage and some times letting him have 1t on his good faith. In the south there are things that the negro can't do. After this the negro is allowed to do anything he wants to do. He can get the protection of the white man, and his support in buying homes, and the pursuit of happiness"
 Several Papers Are Read.
 The sessions of the conference today were given over mainly to the reading of papers. the principal ones being as fol- lows:
 "The Trade and Mechanical Enterprise of the Race" by l.. J. Rowen, Lorman. Miss: "The Learned Professional Filled By the Race" by Rev. w. R. A. Palmer, Birmingham Ala; "Farm Lands Held By the Race.' by John J. Jenkins, Huntsville, Ala. and "The Value of Negro Participation in National and h. ternational Expeditions" by Giles B. Jackson, Richmond, Va, director general negro exhibit Jamestown exposition
 A vote of thanks was accorded to Rev. S. S. Lawton of Orange, s. C., who in a brief address counsolled giving up the race question, following the whites and paying more attention to the flag.

 was given at Il o'clock at night, the sail ors, sappers and pioneers left their bar racks and divided into three groups.
 The mission of the first and smallest group was to kill the officers. The second was to take possession of the arsenal, and the third was to seize the fortress and the train. The train crew had agreed in advance to be ready Revolutionaries cut the telegraph and telephone wires.
 First Group Kills Officers.
 The horrible task of the first group was accomplished hurriedly, and 1t then joined the second group, which was already on the bridge leading to Fort Constantine. This is the only fort directly connected with the mainland, the others being de- tached islands. The sentinels on Fort Constantine offered no resistance. The artillerymen remained neutral and sub mitted to Imprisonment in the casemates. It was at this time that the sappers and pioneers who comprised the two groups found themselves checkmated. The bat teries of the fort were arranged in two tiers The guns on the lower tier can be swung on an arc of 45 degrees, and command only the sea, while those Of the upper tier are on pivots and can be directed in any direction. The magazine, however, while containing fully supply of shells for the lower tier guns. had in it only two shells for the guns of the upper tier. When. therefore, the storm ing party later brought up field and ma chine guns the mutineers were without the possibility of using artillery, and were compelled to surrender.
 Flag Is Hauled Down.
 Their flag, inscribed with the words Handed liberty" which they hoisted on entering the fort. was hauled down.
 About 100 of the mutineers, including all the revolutionary civilians, escaped in a steamer, which was lying off tne port
 To the sailors who were all practically unarmed. their carbines having been talk en from the racks in their barracks by or der of the commandant the day before, fell the task of capturing the arsenal. This proved easy, but to their amazement, the men found it practically empty. With the exception of a few old-style guns, there was neither artillery or ammunition to be found The sailors then made an unsuccessful attempt to release their com rades of the seventh equippage. Then. after a hasty consultation, they decided to return to their barracks and barricada themselves.
 In the meantime the loyal troops were

It is not 4possible to conceive that any

that enc great element, viz: the pro-.
Queer Of the state. has been at seri-

bic from this undesirable and unneces-
sary situation. 5

been too high. and feeling that the

Warehouse Commissions.
Replying to this communication, per-
nit me to call your attention to the
fact that in my message to the lexisla-
ture at the time Of NV inaueuration
recommended the appointment OF a
joint legislative committee to make a
full and complete investigation Of the
prevailing rates of transportation with:
in this state. with a view Of establish
ing by law a tariff rate for trans,
portation within this state which would
be based upon a reasonable rate Of in.
terest and profit upon the investment
and which would be fair to all parts OF
the state and absolutely prevent an un-
Yust discrimination between localities
or individuals. Sss
Pursuant to this recommendation, the
! Legislature adopted = joint resolution,
the same being Chapter $50, Laws Of
Minnesota 1905. relating to freight
rates on traffic. in which the legislature
declared itself as follows: s.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved Nv

recognize the prevailing conditions
which seem to warrant the existence
OF q distributing and q distance tariff,
and believe that in maintaining Al dis.

not only several points In the state
which are valuable to the people e.

GOING TO PHILADELPHIA.
Part of the Force of the Assay Office

The controller of the treasury has decided
that no part of the funds appropriated for
the assay office or for melting and refining
can be used for renting temporary quarters
for carrying on this work in New York
city pending the erection of the new build
ing authorized by Congress at its recent
session. The Treasury Department has
therefore concluded to move to the Phila-
delphia mint such part Of the force as is
necessary for the melting and refining work
and continue operations there until the new
building In New York is completed.
Arrangements to this effect will be made
Immediately. and the supervising architects

THE BRYAN RECEPTION.
Decided to Invite Small Subscriptions
to Defray Expenses.


AT the suggestion of William ]. Bryan
the executive committee in charge of the
reception which is to be given to him In
New York on August 80, when he returns
to this country, decided to invite small sub
scriptions to defray the expenses. The
committee made public part of letter from
Mr.. Bryan bearing upon the subject of cost
as follows:
There will be some expense, and the
committee must see to 1t that money is
accepted from questionable sources; In fact,
l think it would be well to announce that
the expense would be borne by popular sub
scription, dollar subscriptions being pre-
ferred, but that larger subscriptions would
be received up to $50. none being received
over that Also announce that subscrip-
tions of So, or more than S.. would be en-
tered in a book and the names given to
any one desiring them. Subscriptions of
less than So would not be made known
without the expressed consent of the sub
scriber.
Say that the reception will be made as
inexpensive as possible and that any sur
plus over and above the expenses of the
reception will be used to print and circulate
the speeches delivered at the reception
II think the publication of the subscrip-
tons is an important thing The republic
cans have failed to pass any effective law
in regard to campaign contributions, and
this Will be a good rebulte to them and
will foreshadow the adoption of such a
policy by our next campaign committee.
You can say. If you like, that I asked
to have this plan adopted"
Lewis Nixon, chairman of the committee
on plan and scope, reported that about
5000 will be required for expenses and a
committee on finance has been named. 1t
was decided that it would be more expedi-
tious not to attempt to limit the size Of
subscriptions to $50

HEARST AND aovERNoRsH1p.
Hope Expressed That Tammany Will
Support Him

Charles f. Murphys announcement that
Hearsts independent fight for the mayor
atty last fall will not stand in the way OF
his support by Tammany Hall in the dem
ocratic state convention is beginning to
bear fruit.
Alderman Reginald c. Dou1 was the first
to speak out in New York yesterday. He
declared that he hoped the democratic state
convention would nominate Hearst, because
he believed that with Hearst as its e;lndi-
date the democratic party would sweep the
state.
There is no reason why Tammany Hall
should not support Hearst" Alderman
Doull asserted He is a democrat, I'M
questionably. He has been twice honored
with the democratic nomination to Con-
gress There Is nothing that Tammany
Hall stands for that Mr.. Hearst does not
stand for also.
1.-The fact that he has fought the organi-
"a ton is nothing against him. Tammaay
Hall has repeatedly nominated men who
fought the organization If they showed that
they had a great personal following.
II sincerely hope that Mr.. Hearst Will be
nominated for governor by the democratic
state convention. because I believe we can
mated as the regular democratic candidate,
and Hearst runs as an independent. the
republican candidate, in my opinion, Will
be elected.
Don't misunderstood me. ! am not .or

ton. | shall be for the regular candidate,
whoever he may be. But I believe that
Mr.. Hearsts great personal following en-
titles him. in view of the fact that he 81 a
democrat to the most serious consideration.
II he is nominated by the regular organiza-
ton he will poll an enormous vote through
out the state, and will be elected
