| Victoria, B. O., Sept. 19.-The lonl
missing British steamer Aeon which
sailed from San Francisco July 20 fol
Sydney, Aus, has been heard from
"A brief cablegram reached Bamfield
the terminus Of the Pacific Gable or
Vancouver Island, from Fannnie
Island Friday, saying the passengers
Of the Aeon were safe at Christmas
Island, some 100 miles from flaming
island. The word came from Capt.
Downie, Of the Aeon, who had arrived
at Tanning Island, but contained no
details as to whether the Aeon was
wrecked or simply delayed because
Of an accident to her machinery. His
message read:
"Aeon's people all safe at Christmas
Island. Capt Downie at Tanning
Island"
Tanning Island is about 1000 miles
south Of Hawaiian Islands and in the
course of vessels bound for Australia,
while Christmas Island Is about 100
miles southeast of Tanning.
The Aeon left San Francisco on
July 26 with 5000 tons Of freight, and
although she was not supposed to
carry human cargo, ten passengers
we're shipped as sailors and ship
hands. She was destined for Sydney
and Auckland by way Of Apia. From
that day nothing had been heard Of
her until the dispatch Friday telling
of the safety Of the passengers on
Christmas Island. 1t Is supposed that
the ship was disabled in her ma
chinery and drifted, or In some other
manner managed to make the island
IN safety,
In addition to the officers and crew
on the Aeon she carried Chaplain B.
R. Patrick, U. s. NJ. and family, and
The wife Of Naval Lieut.. w, *. Riddle.
Rear Admiral swinburne, Of the Pa
life feet, was ordered to keep look
tut for the Aeon. She was placed on
he overdue board at rs per cent re-
and after remaining at that
igure for a time jumped to 40 and
alter to 50 per cent and finally to IS.
,he was IA days out.
with Mrs. Riddle were Chaplain and
Yrs. B. r. Patrick Of the United
'tates navy. and the wives Of several
laval officers who expected to Join
heir husbands on the Atlantic feet in

Bishop Abraham Grant, 532 Washing
ton Avenue, Kansas City, Kans.
We will be very grateful if you will
telegraph at our expense your views
on the coming campaign as it affects
your people. What effect will the
Brownsville matter have upon the
candidacy Of Taft? Democratic plat
form is about as the Republican
plank, demanding equal justice and
suffrage for the colored people. What
is the probable sentiment of your
people concerning Bryan and the prin-
ciples he advocates? Wire at anv
length you desire. Thank you in ad-
vance.
EDITOR OF THE WORLD.
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1908-07-18

Editor of The World. New York City.
In the estimation OF the colored peo-
pie. so far as | know. Mr.. Bryan Is
regarded as being fair minded. Many
of the principles that he represents
and his late declarations are accept
able. but the disposition Of Demo
Gratis, where they control state gov
ernments. to disfranchise the colored
voters makes his party Objectionable.
Considering the treatment of that
party in the past the declaration in
the platform is too general. One
scarcely knows how to construe 1t.
Had they been more definite, the re-
suits in the election would be more
pronounced in their favor When It
is thoroughly understood that Mr..
Taft held up the Brownsville order
and at the same time asked the presi-
dent to postpone action. IT will give
him strength with the colored voters.
A. GRANT.
At this time hysteria is so prevalent
among men who are leaders Of the race
that it is a source of qualification to
find that all have not thrown away rea-
fon or given up in despair, The above
opinion of Bishop Grant rings true. 1t
s honest conviction, it is neither gran
dose or inflammarory, nor is it insipid
with apologies for the administration.
The question is not which party is per
feet, but since all the works of men
have their faults, which party comes
nearest to perfection?
The Negro who contents himself with
pointing out the shortcomings Of the re-
