The occasion was the twelfth an

OF the aigning OF the John jay COM

said;
"since the time that the John jay
treaty was made. this country mas
passed through comparative Isolation
and entered into intimate relations
with all the nations OF the earth. The
United States In still guided by the
Washington principles OF friendship
for all and entangling alliances with
none. Europe has many interests In
which this country Is not concerned,
stlll there are some matters whlch
we can no longer ignore. The secre-
tnry asserted that a rev diplomacy
had come In vogue. and this diplomacy
answers not to any sovereign or
Judgment OF courts. but to tho judg-
ment OF the great popular masses.
New responsibilities therefore rest
upon the pcopet whose representa-
tlves answer their will by shaping the
policies with foreign nations"

of the various nations are upon their

the same restraint and self-control
and the same consideration for the
rights OF others as obtain between

Question Raised II the Govern

State Legally.
ROOSEVELT WATCHING EVENT
No Fault Found With the Class OF
Emisrants Coming Into the State,
But They Are Admitted Con-
trary to Law.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-Has
South Carolina violated the Federal
contract labor law, and If so, how can
the government punish state? is
now the question that is up to the
Solicitor of the Department Of Com
merce and Labor. While the ques-
tion has been submitted to the prop
er law officer of the department, no
one here takes any serious view of
the case, and, in fact, but little in
terest in 1t is manifested by any
one except a few of the leaders of
organized labor. Recently thou
sand or more immigrants were landed
at Charleston, South Carolina. 1t is
admitted that the immigrants were
turned toward the Southern port by
an agent of the State of South Caro-
lima, and their arrival was hailed with
delight by State authorities and by
the people. BY everyone 1t was looked
upon as the beginning of the solution
OF the labor problem In the South.
but 1t was more especially regarded
as marking a new era in the South,
as the immigrants, or at least very
many of them, are expected to become
settlers, taking up tracts Of land for
cultivation, thus aiding in the agri-
cultural development of the South.
In this correspondence it has al
ready been told with what interest
President Roosevelt watched the mat
ter, he evidently not looking on the
movement as any violation Of law. 1t
is now claimed by some of the labor
leaders that If any inducements were
held out to the immigrants by the
agent Of South Carolina, that they
would be given employment on their
arrival in this country it was di-
rect violation of the contract labor
law, and they attach much blame to

after his return from Charleston,
where he had gone to inspect the
immigrants. your correspondent had
conversation with Mr.. Sargent. The
commissioner-genera was very pro-
nounced in his statement that the
immigrants were the best as a whole.
that he had seen during his term of
office. He further stated that, in con-
sultations with persons from the
South who were engaged in trying to
promote immigration to that section,
he had suggested the present move
ment of seeking immigrants direct
from Europe In this conversation the
labor law was mentioned, and the COM
missioner gave it as his opinion that
the movement was In no way a vio-
lation of that law: that actual set
tiers, more than mechanics or labor
ers, were sought for. The decision of
the Solicitor of the Department of
Commerce and Labor will be awaited
with much interest by the people of
the South.

Their inquiry will begin AZ soon as
witnesses can be summoned. The Dix
lies in 100 fathoms Of water and 1t
is doubtful whether she ever VIII be
raised. The owners have turned her
over to the underwriters, who expect
to make some effort to recover the
steamer. Whether they will drag for
the boat or try blasting Is unsetl-
tied. but little hope Of any success is
entertained. The flags Of every ma
tion in the city are hanging at half
mast at Port Blakeley. from which
town the bulk Of the victims claimed
their homes, and the entire opulation
has temporarily abandoned business
pursuits to emphasize Its grief over
the loss OF the Dix.

'DELUGED WITH PROTESTS
No More Coored Soldiers Will Be Sus.
pended from Duty Until Matter
Is Investigated by the War
Department.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-Acting
under instructions and orders from
Secretary Taft, General Ainsworth
has directed that further discharges
of men of the three negro companies
Of the 25th infantry be suspended
pending further investigation. This
action, it is said tonight. is in order
to await the return of Secretary Taft
to washington tomorrow and pend
ing further advices from President
Roosevelt, who has been communicat-
ed with.
The war department is deluged with
protests against the order made direct
ing the discharge of the three COM
panies of negro soldiers. 1t is report
ed tonight that further investigation
will be made and certain officers may
be called upon for an explanation In
connection with the movements Of
the three men at the time the Browns
vile incident occurred.
According to Acting Secretary of
War Oliver the three companies were
discharged because they were not
trustworthy and because the discharge
was necessary for the protection Of
the public and to preserve the disci-
pline of the army. The secretary de-
clared that there was nothing further
from the truth than that the troops
were discharged because they refused
to tell on their companions. All Of
them refused to tell anything about
the disgraceful affair at Brownsville,
which resulted in murder. The COM
panies, he says, are shielding muir
derers. The war department has made
every effort to apprehend the guilty
men without avail. If these COM
panies are permitted to remain in the
service and were to shoot up another
town. the war department would be
In an indefensible position. 1t Is i'm
possible to court martial each mem
Der of company individually, so the
government has no mean of Furnishing
the criminals, except In the discharge
of all Of the men.

PANIC REGINS ON THE SHIP
Little Sound Steamer Dix 10 Rammed
by tho Steamship Jeanie Near
Alki Point and Instantly Sinks
Under Waves.

SEATTLE, Nov i9.-Trapped be-
tween the deck OF the narrow, top
heavy steamer Dix. 40 of 70 passengers
were carried down without a mo-
ment's warning or lighting chance for
escape, TO watery graves in Puget
Sound, when the Alaska steamer
Jeanie rammed and sank the smaller
steamer two miles of AlkI Point, near
Seattle, at 1924 o'clock last night. The
3S who escaped death were swept into
the Icy waters. where they battled
heroicaiy for almost half an hour be-
fore being rescued by boats from the
Jeanie. A number OF those who man
aged to escape from the trap that car
rled most OF the passengers to the bot
tom OF the bay, struggled until sheer
exhaustion, fright and cold overcame
them, then sank to their deaths un-
der the very eyes OF rescuers. Safety
lay within an arms length of them,
but they could not reach 1t. Half of
those rescued were dragged from the
bay more dead than alive. and a num-
Der are at local hospitals In very pre-
carious conditions.
Every member Of the crew OF the
Inflated Dix. save the captain and one
deck hand, went down with their
boat. Probably 20 passengers, caught
in the lower cabin, were drowned like.
rats in q trap, never realizing what
had happened until the water poured
In upon them in their living tomb.
The sunken cabin Is the grave Of
score OF men and women, who went
to their deaths madly fighting for
chances to escape that did not exist
for them. The scene Of terror and
maddened scramble for life witnessed
by the survivors In the brief moments
elapsing between the time the vessel
was rammed and the helpless vic
times were swallowd up by the raw
enous waves was that of a veritable
hell
The Dix, which piled between Sc
attic and Port Blakely, started from
the Flyer dock at Seattle about 7
o'clock, carrying 70 passengers for
Port Blakely, all of them residents of
that town. who had been on q pleas
ure excursion to this city. Almost all
of them saw the Jeanie, loaded with
ore start from Smiths Cove, bound
south; their courses lay across each
other at a point about two miles off
Alki Point. The night was excep-
tionally dark, and the vessels came to
thepoint OF conveyance almost to-
gether.
Latest reports confirm the state
ment that forty-nine persons were
lost In the disaster Sunday night

and sunk by the Alaska steamer
