commander acted under a misundsr-
standing OF his instructions.
The French charge d'affairs has re-

NEGROES WON FAME IN
ARTS AND SCIENCE.

So far as Senator Tillman's ar
raignment of Negroes as class is
concerned, The Times has no pa
tience. There are Negroes distin-
guished in various walks of life
who have achieved as great fame
as their white brethren, and in
certain instances, greater. A New
York paper has summarized the
work of living American Negroes
distinguished in their various pro-
fessious. Among those mentioned
the following have been chosen for
their prominence outside their own
locality. No mention has been
made of literature, but if one wish
ed to go into this branch, the list
would be interminable.
In the realms of agriculture, AT.
fred Smith, of Oklahoma, won first
prize in England for cotton which
he raise. He was also given a
blue ribbon at the Worlds Fair.
A crop of $4,000 bushels of po-
tatoes is produced every year by
Junius G. Groves, of Kansas,
which is the worlds record.
The first surgeon to sew up and
heal wounded human heart was
Daniel II. Williams, M. D., OF
Chicago.
There have been 35 devices pat.
