HOLD BALANCE IN The BALLOT.

A writer in Leslie's Weekly has
compiled the figures of the negro
voters in the Northern States with
view to showing the possible effect
it would have upon the Republican
party, should the negroes turn
against that political organization
The writer seems to think that
such might be the result of negro
irritation and resentment over the
attitude Of President Roosevelt in
the Brownsville matter. The
number of negroes voting in the
Republican States North is given
as ranging from 4 500 in Connect
cut to 81, 668 in Pennsylvania.
Delaware has more than 5000;
Indiana some IS, GOO; New jersey
81, 900; Illinois about $4,000; Ohio
and New York have 1000 each;
while West Virginia, the only
Southern State included, has about
10, 900 negro voters, The conclus-
ion of the writer is that the
swing of these voters to the Dem
ocratic column would decide the
issue of national election against
the Republicans. This helps to
reveal the "politics' in "Fire-
alarm" Foraker's tender sympathy
for criminal negro soldiers.

wreRE SLAVERY srllL EXISTS

There is no duty of the South
quite so plain as that of adopting
stringent measures for the preyen-
ton of the practice of peonage by
cruel and INSCRIPTIONS employers.
The fact that a system of enforced
servitude has been found to prevail
i'm a number of States has aroused
a just feeling of indignation not.
only in the States where it existed,
but throughout the country. The
dictates of self-interest ifnot hum
anity should be sufficient to arouse
the people of the South to the nee
essity of suppressing with stern
handsuc an intolerable practice as
has been discovered to exist in
certain remote sections, for unless it
is stamped out most thoroughly it
is useless to hope for the immigra-
ton of white labor from Europe
which the South so sorely needs
and is so anxious to secure. 1t is
difficult to imagine anything that
would be more harmful to the South
than to allow the impression to 60
abroad that peonage is general in
this section and that the people
and the authorities tolerate it, be-
/ cause the em ployer class is the only
class whose rights receive due con-
sideration.

"The Won In White"

In letter TO Charles Dickens, WilkiS
Collins intimated the fact that the
great work upon which he had devoted
so much time was finished, but that
the finding of a suitable title had Occa-
stoned him much trouble. Eventually
feeling somewhat run down in health
he left London for Broadstairs, a re-
sort which was a favorite with both
Dickens and Collins. While lying on
the cliff in a meditatiye mood one
bright morning his eyes suddenly riv-
eted themselves on the white light
house which stood boldly out in the
foreground under the dazzling rays of
the midday sun. AS he gazed Collins
in a semiconSciOus manner addressed
himself in a whisper to the light

THE KAISER'S HEALTH
HIS lREsTLEssNEss CAUSES
MUCH COMMENT IN LONDON.

Special Cabegram to The Star.
LONDON, December THE kaiser re-
mains at High Cliffe, and, urging from
appearances, is benefiting from his holi-
day. But in the face of official state
ments its prolongation is not without
mystery. Facts, however. are stronger
than official denials, and there can be no
doubt that the emperor's health has been
the cause of considerable concern for
some time past
His restlessness cannot be checked. I'm
like King Edward, who, though leading
a busy life, maintains the best of health,
the kaiser even now does not retire to
rest before 1 o'clock am, and does two
hours work because his coffee and rolls,
which are served to him punctualiy at 8
o'clock. When he was at Windsor Castle
the officials wondered at his restlessness
At one moment he would appear on the
terrace in multi, next he would be seen
-, rgine from the courtyard in UNI
form. 1t was computed that he changed
his clothes seven times a day.
The kaiserin Is somewhat similar in this
respect She brought sixty dresses for
five days visit and managed to wear the
majority of them. The kaiser was great
ly interested in the alterations King Ed
ward had effected at Windsor. Windsor
Castle, of all that Eng. and possesses, the
kaiser is believed to most covet. This
regal fortress at last. with all it's treas
ures, has been revealed. thanks to the
electric light, which was banned by the
late queen. But, even now it is lie $
comfortable than many of the great
houses owned by the kings subjects.
Windsor Castle Shabby.
Queen Victoria would never permit
bathroom within the precincts. Now
there are many bathrooms. In some in
stances the bathrooms had to be con-
structed in the thickness of the enor-
nous walls. Among all the priceless pic
lures and other works of art there is
hardly one really fine carpet except one
of blue velvet on the grand staircase and
one made by convicts at Agra. Many of
them are threadbare, in keeping with the
stiff early Victorian furniture, much of
which King Edward has abolished.
Even today along the great corridor, of
which all the royal apartments open, and
which goes around nearly three sides OF
the quadrangle, there is not single coy
spot Here Queen Victoria used to be
wheeled up and down by her Indian at
PENDANTS. Now it Is a romping pace for
her Observation-Disclosures except VIII King
Edward is within earShot. He hates noise
and all the royal family stand in great
awe of him, as they ever did of Queen
Victoria.

COAL FOR THE LONG CRUISE.
Big Fleet of Steamships Being Load
ed With Fuel.

Gu " I'LL 1 uC1.
The big fleet of steamships that will
carry coal from ports on the Atlantic
coast to South American ports and points
on the route of the battleship fleet on the
voyage from Hampton roads to San Fran
cisco are loading and sailing. and some
are we'll on their way to their destina-
lions. Some idea of the size of the fleet
that will be necessary to move the 2OO,-
900 tons of coal necessary for the voyage
can be formed when 1t is known that over
twenty-three ships owned in Glasgow and
flying the British flag have been char
tered for the work In addition to these a
large number Of ships flying other for
eign flags have been chartered as a part
OF the coal-carrying fleet. The following
is a list of the Glasgow ships and
their tonnage:
Garscube, 3,542 tons: Hamilton, 1859
tons: Fitzpatrick, 400 tons: Strathen-
drlck, 400 tons; Netherlee, $3.50
tons: Queen Elizabeth, 1920 TONS
Queen Helena, 4,224 tons: Crown Of Ga
licia. 1921 tons; Crown OF Arragon. 1850
tons; Falls of Nth, 4.7oo tons; Tweed
dale 4. 49, tons; Baron Cawdor, 4.3l6 tons;
Baron Ardossan, 4,319 tons; highland
Monarch, 1881 tons: Jeanara, 1880 tons;
Hermiston, 4,4s3 tons; Earl of Douglas,
4,267 tons; Falls OF Orchy, 5. 100 tons.
The majority of vessels belong to the
large modern tramp type. with carry
ing capacity of about 1000 tons: From
this capacity. however, will probably have
to he deducted about 1900 tons stored in
bunkers for the outward voyage.
Approximately the distance to be COW
cred is IA 800 miles, which represents
sixty to seventy days steaming. AS
rule the vessels proceed as far as Coronel,
on the Pacific coast of South America,
where bunkers are replenished for the
remainder of the voyage
