THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT.
Scored at Closing Meet
ing for Alleged Neglect.

The second annual meeting OF the
NIAGARA movement came to q close at
Niagare Falls yesterday with religious ex-
ercises and a sermon by Rev. G. Frazier
Miller. At the conclusion of the sermon
an address to the country was read 1t
said, in part: :
stripped of verbiage and subterfuge and
in its naked nastiness. the new American
creed says: Fear to let black men even try
to rise. lest they become the equals Of the
white We would vote: with the right to
vote goes everything; freedom, manhood,
the honor OF your wives. the chastity OF
your daughters. the right to work, and the
chance to rise.
I'VE want discrimination In public accom-
modations to cease. Separation In railway
and street cars, based simply on race and
color, Is un-American, undemocratic and
silly. We claim the right OF freedom to
walk, talk and be with them that wish to
another mans friends. We want Congress
to take charge Of congressional elections.
We want the fourteenth amendment carried
out to the letter and every state disfr an
franchise its rightful voters. We want the
fifteenth amendment enforced and no state
allowed to base its franchise simply on
color.
1.-THE failure of the republican party in
Congress at the session just closed to re-
deem its pledge Of 1904 with reference to
suffrage conditions at the south seems
plain. deliberate and premeditated breach
of promise, and stamps that party as
guilty Of obtaining votes under false pre-
lenses. We want the national government
to wipe out illiteracy In the south: We
want our children trained as intelligent
human beings should be. We do not. be-
lieve In violence. but we do believe in
John Brown"
The address closes with an appeal to
the young men and women Of the nation
and asks cannot the nation that has alb
sorbed 10000, 600 foreigners into Its political
life without catastrophe absorb 10000, 900
negro Americans into that same political
life at less cost than their unjust and u
legal exclusion involves.
A resolution was adopted urging voters
to question every candidate for Congress
as to his attitude on the fourteenth amend
nent, and to refuse support to such as
viii not positively promise to support its
enforcement

JIMENEz NOT IN THE FIGHT.
Arrived in New York Saturday
Talks Of Santo Domingo.

Gen. Juan Isidro Jimenez former presi-
dent of Santo Domingo. arrived In New
York Saturday night on the steamer Goa
mo, from San Juan. Porto Rico. This is
the second visit of the general to this coun-
try within the last six months, and, not
withstanding the conjectures Of his local
compatriots. he Is here exclusively ION
business"
Gen. Jimenez IL the leader Of the Jfme-
nista party In Santo Domingo, and on Sat-
urday, the day Of his arrival in New York,
there was received here a cable dispatch
from Cape Haitien telling OF an uprising
which has just broken out in the Domini-
can Republic and saying that 1t was in IA
vor Of Gen. Jtmenez, whose partisans wish
ed to place him again in power. From what
the ex-president said yesterday. they will
have to fight the battle without his active
leadership.
IT have taken no active interest In the
politics of my country for two years. he
said. and really do not know what is go
ing on there. II there is an insurrection In
Of my making. am a merchant now and
have no time for politics"
A friend Of Gen. Jimenez's said yesterday
that there was little doubt of the accuracy
of the Cape Haitien dispatch that HOSTILE
ties had broken out in Santo Domingo, as
there was general dissatisfaction with the
administration of President Caceres and
trouble had been long expected
This person said also that the object of
the uprising was to return Gen. Jimenez to
the presidency. whence he was ousted by
q revolution. While the veteran will not
contribute to the Instruction anything
other than his moral support. 1t was said
that he would again assume the presidency
II his party should be victorious.
Although the statement of Gen. Jtmenez
that he is there ''en business" stands un-
contradicted. 1t might be worth mentioning
that Gen. I. Berroa Canelo. one of his sup
porters. In an interview with reporter
about two months ago. announced the gen
erals coming. Gen. Berroa Canelo said at
the time that there was to be held In New
York conference to consider ways and
means for the overthrow OF President Ca
ceres and that Gen. Jfmenez. ex-President
Carlos Morales and Francisco ]. Sanchez.
former minister of foreign affairs. would
be here to take part in the conference. The
last news of Gen. Morales had him at st.
Thomas. while Senior Sanchez is In Porto
Rico.
dispatch received In New York while
Cen Jimenez was at Ponce said that he
had arrived in Santo Domingo and assum-
I'd command of the revolutionary forces.
This can now be ofacially denied. The dis
patch referred to another person of the
same name. and the mistake was most
common one.
