CANNIBALS:

THE BRITISH.
N1ger1an Tribe just Discovered Owns
Hundreds of Thousands OF Horses
And Much Valuable Mineral Land.

London, Nov. 26.-A remarkable
story Of empire building is. told by
Sir William Wallace, the Resident
General Of Northern Nigeria, who
has arrived in England at the con-
clusion Of tour of the protectorate.
Savage cannibal tribes who own
hundreds Of thousands Of horses are
being rapidly subsided by methods
OF peace, railway development Is pro-
ceeding at great pace, and tin, fields
which are described as perhaps the
richest in the world. and valuable
deposits Of copper await exploitotion.
The past year has been one Of the
most peaceful since the territory has
been taken over by the Imperial Gov
ernment, he says: There have been
no warlike expeditions, but great
strides have been made In bringing
under control some of the most
dreaded and hostile pagans of North
ern Nigeria.
The greatest opposition hitherto
experienced has been in the Bautchi
highlands, where the rocky fastness-

The resident Of that province has

population, the existence of which

and they own hundreds Of thousands
Of horses. With almost insi ignificant
loss on their side, and none on ours
these people have now been made to
recognize the administration.
The Bautchi highlands, now open
to British trade, are Of about 1900
square miles in extent, and contain
perhaps the richest tin fields in the
world, and also valuable copper de-
posits.

BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR.

New York, Dec. "A dispatch to
the New York American, from Wash
ington, says:
Senator Forakera Of Ohio. has re-
turned for the opening Of Congress.
He will bring up the Brownville at
authorizing the re-enlistment Of the
dismissed men Of the TwentyFifth
Infantry for alleged participation In
the Brownsville raid. The bill Is
the special order of business for De-
cember 16.
II. expect to keep the bill before
1t until a vote ts taken" said Soma
tor Foraker to-day. Il cannot say
how much debate there may be upon
the measure, and do not Know how
many Senator's may desire to discuss
1t. Before we adjourned Senator
Lodge gave notice Of his intention
to discuss the bill, but illness in his
family called him away, and one OF
the reasons for the consideration OF
the bill going over until this session
was to allow him opportunity tc
speak upon it."
Friends Of Senator Foraker say he
has prepared a speech detailing hit
relations with the Standard Oil. II
is intimated that in the speech there
is a vitriolic attack on President
Roosevelt, but Senator Foraker will
not discuss either the Standard Oh
affair of his reported Senate state
ment.

to keep, alive the, feeling engendered

The colored editors, like their breth-
rem Of lighter hue, are doing their
best to assist Mr.. Taft in this rather
delicate undertaking, and are not
backward about making suggestions.
The selection Of Mr.. Hitchcock SIS
Enthusiastically, is, OF course,
warmly endorsed. The further sug-
gestion that Mr.. William Loeb, Jr,
the talented and energetic Secretary
to President Roosevelt, be given a
seat at the Cabinet table, meets with
the heartiest kind of "amens" ct the
hands Of all who have come into COM
tact with this affab BILE gentleman and
who know what a valuable asset his
ripe experience and wonderful varsa-
tility would be to the new admins
tration. President Taft could not
select a safer or more serviceable I'd
wiser than Mr.. Loeb. He would
! make an admirable Secretary Of
Commerce and Labor, being. natural
ly adapted to matters that concern
the great world of business and
those who make the products upon
which business is based. The COL
ored friends Of Mr.: Loeb join with
the millions of all other races in
wishing the administration to thus
honor and permit the nation to reap
the fruits of his well-rounded at
tainments.\

One Of the most useful colored
men -in; the goversAm ent service is
Major Arthur rooks, who has ..hean
connected with the office Of the $50
retary OF War for many years and is
familiar with. every detail Of the
great department. He has enjoyed
the confidence of every Secretary Of
War since the Harrison regime, and
was particularly devoted to Mr..
Taft, sustaining relations in a busi-
ness way that, called for the exercise
Of the soundest Judgment on the
part of the Major. The latter went
to the Philippines with the Secre-
.tary on his famous visit Of inspec-
tion, and was Mr./Taft's right-hand
man In the transaction Of many i'm
portant functions. Major Brooks Is
a busy factor in Washington's mill
tary life. Besides carrying the larg-
est responsibility for looking after
the multitude Of callers who wish to
see the Secretary of War, he is the
commander of the First Separate
Battalion Of the District National
Guard, admittedly one of the best
drilled branches Of the District in
field work and in craftsmanship, and
is' military instructor Of the four
companies comprising the battalion
Of the High School Cadets. In all
these capacities he gives perfect sat
isfaction and is regarded as an ex-
pert In all matters military. 1t is
understood that Major Brooks can
have coy berth On the White
House staff under President Taft, If
he so desires it, but doubt is felt as
to whether he would care to accept q
place that might not allow him the
opportunity for the valuable outside
work he is now carrying on. An
other might quite satisfactorily per-
form ithe duties required at the
White House, but one would be
obliged to search the District with
fine-tooth comb before he could un7
earth so faithful and painstaking q
custodian of the interests now hand
led by Major Brooks. He is non
committal on this White House talk,
and gives no intimation as to what
his course might be should Mr. Taft
ask him to help "run things" at the
Executive mansion for the next four
or eight years.

Another accomplished colored man
who Is In Gne for White House hon
ors is William Pannell, who has been
connected with the War Department
in responsible capacity for a num-
Der of years. Mr.. Pannell enjoys tho
distinction Of having been the first
person to bring to Secretary Taft
and his assembled family and friends
last June the glad tidings that he
had been nominated for President by
the Chicago convention. Upon Sec
retary Taft's resignation, Mr.. Pan
nell also resigned an6 entered the
personal service of Mr.. Taft, making
the long and arddobs tour Of the
country with him and remaining at
his side until the. retirement of the
latter to the secluded shades of the
mountain retreat at Hot Springs.
