New York, Dec. THE Presidency for
Gov. Hughes or nothing was the key
note Of statement made to-day by sena-
tor Alfred r. Page. one OF the governor
closest personal and political friends.
Senator Pages statement was a reply
to Senator White, of Syracuse. who yes
terday said that public sentiment in his
section favored the denomination of Mr..
Hughes for governor rather than his
nomination for President.
Said Senator Page: Without execution
the friends of Gov. Hughes are convinced
that under no circumstances will he &C.

mas made sacrifices enough already. and
the people should not ask him 10 continue
20 make them 10 his own detriment

AMERICANS FOMENf REVOLT
Negro Preachers Stir Zulus Against
White Rule.
Incife Race Hatred in south Africn
Which FOrebOdes Fight for
independence.

London. Dec There is an American
end TO the threatened rebellion in Zulu
land, which is Of considerable Importance.
1t is asserted by those who know the sit
uation well that the uprising is part OF a
general movement all over the continent
below the equator. having for its motto,
South Africa for the Blacks"
What is known as the Ethiopian move
ment has taken firm hold upon the
South African natives for years past.
Careful investigation shows that under
the cloak Of religious effort this is really
an agitation to drive the whites into the
sea.
The preachers came from America. They
went first to Liberia, and then spread TO
the territories south OF the Zambesi
River. They are described as negroes
who absorbed most of the vices and few
of the virtues of the white races. The
effect of their work has been that tribal
hosulities have almost disappeared, all
the tribes uniting in one purpose
Ten years ago a black rising On a Sc
rious scale would have been impossible.
The natives regarded the British as a
race of invincible whites, who could
promptly blot out any force sent against
them. The Beers were regarded by the
natives. particularly the Zulus, as a ma
ton of braggarts. which would not stand
for week before themselves. and which
would only provide a mouthful for the
British army.
When the Boer war started, they look
ed for its conclusion within a month at
most, but when the campaign heightened
into three years. they lost respect for the
white soldier and sneered at him. They
reasoned that people who took three
years TO get through with a work that
they could have finished in as many
weeks. could not be as good as them
selves.
IL is easy to understand Ia these cir
cumstances that the British authorities
are quite right In regarding the situation
as very serious
