this proposition. and would 60 everything
possible to carry it through when the

stamboul. La. Oct. 16.-Only by plung-

a bear escape yesterday from being shot
by President Roosevelt. The animal was
started by the dogs late yesterday after

heard for two miles through the cane
brake.
The members Of the party were sepa-
rated at the time. but all started in hot
pursuit. Meanwhile, the dogs had gained
steadily upon the bear and were close
at his heels, when he apparently realized
that safety lay only in taking to the
water.
Two or three members Of the party
came upon the dogs in time TO catch
glimpse If the bear, plowing his way
through the water, headed for the oppo-
site shore. Several Of the dogs started
into the water after bruin. but were
called back The President arrived upon
bear swimming. Once more was the dis

ton by starting out early this morning
on the other side OF the lake.

The President is apparently the most
cheerful member of the party. in spite
Of the fact of his failure to get the game

gathers around the campfire at night
after the days hunt is over, and listens
to the Presidents narration Of his West

Another deer, somewhat smaller than
the one killed by the President last week.
was shot yesterday by one Of the mem
bers Of the party. one of the negro
hunters also killed a large wild turkey

To prove that there are bears in Tensas
Parish, where the President had intended
going last Sunday, before he decided to
remain on Bear Lake the Osborne broth

yesterday, and presented them to the
President, together with a big piece OF
bear meat. II was the first bear flesh
that the President has had since he

Edinburgh, Oct. 16.-Andrew Carnegie
and Lord Roseberry to-day gave a big
audience at the Philosophical Institute
their views or the negro problem in the
United States.
Mr.. Carnegie strongly champicned the
negro. He traced their development from
slaves TO citizens, the gradual decrease
of illiteracy among them, their general
inclusion in church organizations, and
the enormous expenditure of money for
churches and schools. He contended that
the negro was a saving man. with land
hunger. and declared there was no better
test Of a respectable member Of society
than bank book showing a good balance
or title deeds TO a house or farm unen-
numbered by debt IIe repudiated the
idea that the negro is lazy. even in news
papers.
The question used TO be what can be
done with the negro. but now it is how
more Of them and other workers can be
obtained. The negro has become Of i'm
mense economic value and is indispen-
sable. Nevertheless. Mr.. Carnegie admitted
that the negro problem is yet unsolved.
and the question whether negroes viii
ever be raised into the mass of the nation
is yet unanswerable.
