Ready to. be Sprung on For,

posed Tyler's Appoint
ment at Cincinnati

New York, March 3.-The Sun to.
day prints the following: ...
President Roosevclt's friends tell
what they consider a neat story
Of his celebrity In political machine
matters. =
Senator Forakers attitude on the
Brownsville affair, as all know,
greatly angered the President, and
to seven up with the-=Senater- the
President threatened to appoint
Robert w. Tyler, colorea, to be Sur
veyor Of the Port Of Cincinnati. The
President, 1t was learned. did this
because he knew that Senator For
aker could not object seriously to
Tyler for the reason that both Sen
ator Foraker and Senator Dick had
Recommended Tyler for q place in
the consular service nf{,.
IF Senator Foraker and Senator
Dick, the Presidents friends assert
ed yesterday, had objected to Tyler g
nomination for Surveyor Of Cincin-
natl the President would have fash
ed the letters Of Mr.. Foraker and
Mr. Dick recommending Tyler for
the consular service But the mat
ter has all BEEN settled by Represen-
tative Nicholas Longworth. the Pres
ident's son-in-faW, who, TT Is under
stood, pleaded with the President
not to appoint Tyler Surveyor Of Gin
cinnati for the reason that George
B. Cox, republican boss/of Cincin-
natl, would In retaliation refuse him,
Lotgworth,' a renominaton for Con
gress two years from now. 1t is
said that Cox made it very plain to
Representative Longwortb that II
Tyler should get that job .as Survey
or he, the Presidents son7in-law
would lose his job as Congressman.
''As a. amatter OF fact, Coxs friends
say that Mr.. sLongworths ID serving
his last term in the House.. notwith-
standing the Tyler incident. - ~.'

washington, March / Senator
Morgan reported favorably from the
Committee on Foreign rR Reletioaes to-
day his resoiutt scatlihg EEon the
President for inforsastion.as to any
concessions Americans have received
from King Leopold for the gathertng q
St,t or india rubber In. the 'coggo Free
Mr.. Morgan was given permission
to file a. statement on the subject:
and asked that the resolution go 40

eral Senators desired to make an ff,-
yest1 t1gation ofSthe question: - Z
he arraigns scatilingIy Leopold,
King Of the Belgians, "for the mattsT
IN which he exploited the Congo
lands In accommodating wealth to him
by Imposing tasks of personal labor
ITO the extreme Of cruelty on the ma
tive population" }&,, - !
Mr.. Morgan charges that conces-
sionaires have been empowered by
King Leopold to exercise the same
distressing authority over the people
which they hasHHe proceeded to emfurte
without restraint and Without the re-
sponstbilities to public opinion which
should check their avarice and greed
IN tdeaHn with ignorant and sub
jugated people, ~. ~ ~
He says that any concessions gran
ted by King Leopold to wealthy citi-
Zens OF the, United States is not valid
unless confirmed by the stgnatory
Powers to the Brussels ast signed In
1890. He also says 1t Is the duty Of
thts' Government to inquire into a
concession alleged to have been
made by the Government of Liberia
of"all Its india rubber and mahogany
lands to a British syndicate. = Mr..
Morgan concludes with the following
declarations: .....
"It Is the duty OF the United States
Government to see to 1t that no bar
rier or impediment Is created by the
act Of Leopold or by any other au-
thority to debar the exiled Africans
who have been held In slavery in the
United States from the right to re-
turn to their native land and hold In
company with their kindspeople, and
the free, unobstructed opportunity
to enjoy the great advantages which
are. now offered to them,. and which
the United States owes ito them OF
reparation in their own country with
out let or hindrance. a. -
"The native resources of Central
Africa present vast stores Of treas
ures to invite their aid in develop
ing the wealth Of the country, and
1t is time that the United States
should tnterpose It's Just powers,
whatever they may be; In aiding
these exiles to establis1l their: SOW
erign rights in the country that Cod
has given to them" '.-e-.--.... TX" -4f

Louisville. KY, March 4.-On
February 24th, according to custom,
Memorial Day was observed. by. the
Pyth1ans OF this city, at the Thir-
teenth street. A.. M. e., Zion church,
or which DR.. Reeves Is pastor. The
program WAS carried out In detail,
having been we'll arranged by the
memorial committee. 81 Every brother
>and sister who had departed this life
during The past year, and, was In
good standing IN their lodge, was
spoken of IN the kindest and tender,
est manner. One Tbrother who was
Wellt known, and died in the morn
ing OF hrs usefulness, was Hon; E. I.
MAsterson- - Mr. Masterson, the Iner.
chant tailor, had built up a mot,u.
ment TO this city and Tuskegee, ,and
was Pythian 2 who made rapid
strides in the Armotial ranks. z 1t
was he with others who. made the
fight at Pittsburg to- bring the ,su-
preme lodge to this city. It was Mr..
Mastegson who had the pledges or
the social lights OF Louisville to give
him their support In aiding him to
make It pleasant foY the numerous
visit tors. He was loved and admired
by has feliowmen, stood high in the
councils Of the republican party, and
also the National Negro BUSINESS
Mems League. His death. removed
