Texas. On Thursday Gen. Bell
chief of staff of the army, called
on the president to learn his
views regarding the Brownvllle
matter. When he left Sagamore
Hill General Bell said that the
orders for the temporary aband
onment of the post would be car
RED into effect at once.
From this brief statement we
may infer what the views of the
president on the subject are. We
may infer that he is not disposed
to maintain a militrry post at a
place where the people are wont
tc heap indignities on soldiers OF
the United States for no other
reason than that they have negro
blood in their veins.
Before the interview between
General Bell and the president
the editor of paper printed at
Fort Worth, Texas, had written
and printed an open letter to Mr..
Roosevelt instructing him as to
his duties with special reference
to negro soldiers. The notoriety-
hunting editor may accept the
abandonment Of the post as his
The open letter is apen insult

$6, 500 that he bet on himself 1t
was one of the fierciest fights in
the annals of the prize ring.
Forty two rounds were fought.
In this round Nelson deliberately
fOuled Cans. He had been eau
toned by Referee Siler from the
tap of the gong in the first round
for butting, ETC., but, however,
Siler's decision awarding the
fight to Cans, met the approval
of the 5000 spectators Cans has
accepted an offer to go on the
stage at $1,000 per week and will
leave San Franscis in a few days

The attendance last year was

Fort Worth. Texas, Aug. %
Hon. Clarence Olney, editor of

of the most thorough students of

President Roosevelt on the pro
jected abandonment of For
Brown because the white people
refused to receive the negro

Juvenile Department in connec-
tion with the Club, also that a
Mothers section, be inserted in
the place of the Musical and
Educational sections. and that
said sections be given to the Ju
venile department, giving a
/ place in the general Club for the
mothers to advise plans pertain
ing to the rearing of children
and to help strengthen the minds
OF all christian mothers to pro
tect the boys and girls, to keep
homes, etc.
