 TO THE NEGRO RACE

Tuskegae, Nov. .f7.-~James Bryce. British Ambassador At Warrington, in an address to. tho negro students at the Tuskegee Institute here today, said:
 we have within the British Empire many millions of the negro race. We are profoundly interested in what Is being done here. 1" We hope to obtain suggestions by which we can be ben efted.
 T. have long been convinced that the idea which is here being worked out. of the ,. importance of, ipdustrial training is, sound. It is grounded in the history of the human race. Every family of mankind whatever It's color has to begin fas the white race did.s by acouiring habits of steady and con stant labor and by working out foE itself a, Knowledge vG the industries and arfa on which civilization, even aits rudest forms. must rest ;. ,ss ! ..srIfere are many of your racei who have acquired property and who by their steady labor are helping witli that wonderfuls progress of the South which strikes any one who, comes here and knows what the South has to con tend with. !" ,, gAmbassador Bryce, and his party will start North tomorrow

 Mrs Ratilee was so excited by the explosion that she seemed out of her wits for while and told the police that she had stepped to the front door to go out; had seen a man there with a gun, and had turned to the rear exit. only when she opened it to have A man fire at her, the discharge of the gun striking the hoy.
 Not satisfied with the explanation, Captain Smith turned to the injured boy. who up to the time the police arrived had been lying in pool of blood on the floor but later had been rendered some attention by two of the officers. The little fellow said between sobs that a man had come to the front window. of the house and had fired a shot gun through the window at him. Being more closely questioned. and several pieces >of the cigar box and fragments of the caps being found, he was shown this evidence, and in spite of the excruciating pain he was suffering confessed like little man He was immediately sent to doctors ofice and later was taken to local infirmary. After quieting the disturbance and sending the crowd away, Captain Smith went to W. V. Cooks house and plac- ed him under arrest. charged with yio- lating that city ordinance which regu- lates the keeping of dangerous ex- plosives in the city limits.
