ufacturers, to have a mastery of COM
mercial methods and to comprehend
the scientific foundations of industry.
TO. THE NEGROES.
You need, therefore, a set of schools
for each of these classes. This leads
me to say a few words as to the col
ored people. Much of the agricultural
work kand much of the other work of
the south has to be done by them.
For your welfare as well as theirs,
for the peace of the country as we'll
as its prosperity, it is essential that
the colored people should receive prop
er instruction. The view that this
instruction should have an industrial
rather than a literary direction seems
to-be a sound view But it does not
exclude the supplying of further in
StructiOn for those who have superior
talent, and it must include an ade-
quate provision for those who are to
be the helpers and guides of the col
ored masses.
When | see what has been done for
negro education and what negroes
have done for themselves in acquir-
ing property and building up homes
during these forty years, there is no
ground for discoura cement.
Whether the Importance of a SyS-
TEN of high schools also Is fully real
lied do not know. But the truth is
that the progress of people depends
more largely on the number and ex-
cellence of the secondary than it does
on the abundance of the primary
schools. 1t is by capable minds and
vigorous wills that nations advance.
An education higher than the element
airy is needed to enrich the country
with men whose vision extends be-
yond the detail of their daily work.
National efficiency depends on en-
lightened leadership no less than up
on the steady industry of the I'M
skilled labOrer and the practised apti,
tude of the skilled laborer. The in
tellect and skill of your people are
the most abundant and ineXhaustible
of all your natural resources.
National efficiency means that ma
tional resources should be developed,
that wealth should be digused among
the whole people, that want and mis-
cry be removed, that comfort be en-
larged, and life made easier for all.
But there are other things which you,
in this favored land, have a right to
expect You desire 10 nave men
whose wisdom and skill fit them for
the work, now far more difficult. than
it ever was before, of administering
the government of this gigantic re,
public and of the states that compose
it. You desire to adorn that repub-
lie with the glories of literature and
science and art. For this purpose you
must have not only schools, but uni
versities also. There are plenty of
IN the north, and many
excellent ones But you are entirely
right in desiring to have plenty of
colleges and universities here also,
and to improve still further those
which you have.

CITY QUIET
AND ORDERLY
Business is Resumed And
Stores Doing a Good
Business.

Pensacola was quiet and orderly
yesterday. There were no disturb
ances, and none were expected. Bust
ness has resumed and yesterday the
stores had the largest crowds in them
than on any previous day for the past
two weeks.
There is no anticipation that there
will again be any disorder in Pensa-
cola, and as proof that the officials
are OF this belief Mayor Goodman
yesterday issued an order revoking
his proclamation of two weeks since
closing the saloons of the city. This
morning they will open and it is not
expected that this will have any effect
whatever.
Cars will be operated today with
police officers on all which run into
exposed territory. This is done mere
ly as a precaution. The Pensacola
Electric Co. recently applied to the
city to place officers. on all cars run
ming on the Park and East Hill lines,
and last night it was decided to do
this for short time, one officer being
placed on each of the cars on these
lines.
The provisional company of militia
will remain in the city for a few
days longer, and the members will
then be allowed to GO to their homes

FORESTS BURN
New Jersey Village Miracul-

struction by Winds.
Special to The Journal

Allalre. y. J., April 23.-More than
three miles of forest lands south of
mere are in ruins today as a result of
the most spectacular fire that has Wis
tied New Jersey in many years. The
careleSSneSS of two men who were
burning brush was responsible for
the fire which started early yesterday.
Famed by a strong wind. the flames
gained rapid Roadway and all efforts
OF the volunteer firemen to check
them were unsuccessful. In the fight
to check the flames, bitches were dug
and back fires started, but they proved
of no avail.
After jumping about in several d.
retions, the fire finally bore straight
toward Allaire. The fire marshal with
the regular volunteer corps and about
80 farmers were on hand. They were
helpless. however, and it was only a
freak turn taken by the fire that saved
the entire village from destruction.

McMil1an'S Letter.
Pensacola Fla. ADr 23

Pensacola, Fla, Apr %, 1908.
Hon. Scott II. Loftin, County Solici-
tor.
My Dear Sir-At your request l
was present at the examination of the
witnesses before you on yesterday
afternoon.
I beg to submit the following opin-
ion. 1t is impossible to arrive as a
definite conclusion as to whether
poison was or was not administered
without having made a chemical ex-
animation of the candy and the vom-
tied matter, which was not done, and
which cannot now be done The
symptoms as testified to could have
been produced by arsenic or other
poison taken in small guam
tity; the same symptoms could also
have been produced by ptomaine
poisoning brought about by eating
food that had undergone certain
chemical changes. or by eating spoiled
fruit.
In view of the above facts I feel
that I am not justified in expressing
an opinion, as it would be purely
speculative.
Very truly yours.

The creditors he left behind are le-
gion. 1t was declared by Francis A.
Harper, Hopkins's attorney, last
night, that they would lose 100000
or more.
The firm of Wallace H. Hopkins &
Co. transacted the largest business in
mining stocks in the city. At midnight
Mr.. Harper said every investor who
had not received stock certificates
would lose his money. The United
States government as well as attor-
neys for private investors were hot
on the trail of Mr. Hopkins yester-
day.
Inspector Ketchams is expected to
make a report today as a result of a
two weeks investigation of the bro
ker's methods. The report. according
to Inspector Stuart, will be used as
the basis for criminal prosecution. It
has to do with the representations
made by Hopkins in his efforts to float
81 900 worth of stock at par in the
Consolidated Zinc company. This eff
fort at floating zinc stock at par in
the face of the money panic is said
to have ibankrupted Hopkins. To this
failure was added the failure of the
Florence Hopkins gold mine. Attorney
Harper says Hopkins sank $4,000
of stockholders money and $50, 900 of
the money he borrowed from such in
vestorS as those who trusted him with
cash in the Florence Hopkins gold
mine The only gold in the mine was
that which Hopkins poured into it, &C
cording to the statements of his at
torneys.
In addition to his creditors and
morteaged mahogany, Mr.. Hopkins left
a wife behind him. He had filed suit
for divorce against her on the grounds
of desertion. The wife says she does
not know where Mr.. Hopkins is and
does not care.
