thew could not believe that such thing
was possible In any part Of this country.
Representative Albert s. Burltson OF
Texas. ore OF the democratic leaders, made
,bis comment: 81 cannot relieve that
this thing happened. My sense cannot
take II 10. Such performance Is IN
bslievable, abhor. ent and inconceiVable.
This is alI the comment sucn
report deserves" Other southern DEM
ocrats expressed themselves in similar
terms.
"This is horrible" was the comment OF
Senator Simmons, of North CarohnS'
when be read the story of the dinn'r.
81 would never have thought that in
any white community in this country
such thing could have occurred. re-
gard it az a direct result of the White
Hnuse dinner 10 Booker Washington,
one of the greatest errors ever perpe-
trated BY president. The man who
said regarding last nights dinner that IL
would work the negro race more injury
than any event occurring in the north
In years, spOks Inc truth IL Is
Jus. such things as this which promote
assaults on dsfenseless women in the
south. 10 my opinion it is not so much
the passion of the negro which leads
him to rape and outrage, as it is the
feeling that he wants to be the equal OF
the white man with all Of his rights and
privileges. That feeling is increased by
such incidents es that in Brooklyn last
night. It's worst effect will be felt IN
the south where it will undoubtedly re-
suit in making both the negro men and
women more iusolenL and more danger
Gus TO the community. That any decent
white people could have lent themselves
to such and exhibition passes my under
standing. But, IS | ssid before, trace
it all to that White House dinner the
effect of which will yet be heard from in
the future"
Representative George L. Lilley, OF
Connecticut, worn out by the strain OF
the investigation before the special
House committee, appointed 10 sifI bis
charges OF corruption of congressman by
the FL rio Beat Company, has gone TO

White and Black Spirits Mingle.
New York, April Pa dinner was
held in Brooklyn last night By the Cos
mopoIitsn Society at which The negro
q1fsion was discussed.
The spectacle of young white
women, seated side by side with negro ca,
and the enthusiastic acclamsIion BY all
the diners OF the proposition Of inter-
marriage as solution of the race prob
lem has caused no little comment.
There we're twenty white girls and
women at the dinner. There was also
half dozen white men. The white girls
sat for the most part between negro
men and listened, some With iDteres ed
stteution, Others with apparent indif-
ference to 8 rather literary discussion OF
miscegDation.
The incident of the dinner that is
causing The most dissatisfaction among
The negroes today is the fact that the
name of Booker I. Washington, who
advocates "peacefn resistance" Was
booed down al greed Oi'b cat calls
and hisies, while 'h4 . ID Ibois, who
fsvors "exerc'sirgsll rghIs under the
constitution" WIS give yolley OF APP
plsuse.
Editor Holt, white man, said: ''In-
iermsrrisgs if continued long enough"
he shouted. smiling gracefully into the
faces of his white feminine hearers 'will
solve the race problem. | do not be-
lieve the white man would be 80 anxious
to marry the nfg,o woman IS would the
negro man to marry the white girl. And
il this is continued, the negro marrying
the white woman, the dark race will
grsduslly bleach"
Declaring that there is no such thing
as social equality between white people
and negroes, or even among negroes
themselves, Rev. Msdison @. PeieIs TO-
d y explained why he took an sbrupt
departure from the dinner OF the COsmo-
rolitsn Club in Brooklyn last night when
be entered The banquet hall and saw
uegro men and wti,e women seated 81 de
by side and heard them engaged in dis
custom sgitsting the abolition ofthe race
problem by process Of intermarriage.

Senate on the Brownsville affair, in the
course of which he saverely criticised
President Roosevelt and defended the
negro soldiers whom the president
drummed out of the army in disgrace

and its effect Ga the negro vote in the
States OF the north and middle west may
be to defeat the republican national
ticket. Thtso recent uttersnces OF
Senator Foraker show that the breach
between himself and the Roosevelt fac

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT sent snolher
message TO Congress late yesterday after
nooa outlining, if not insisting upon,
8 legislative programme, covering all
thu recommendations he has heretofore
made and making some additional ones.
Owing TO the lateuess Of the hour at
which it was received it was not read
in either house. The message covers
great variety of subjects. The president
Laws greatest stress upon the necessity
of increasing the power of the federal
government over the great corporations
engaged in interstate commerce. Even
handed justice is the theme of his dis
cussion, and he urges opposition to law
less demands, whether they are made
b. the rich or those opposed TO the rich.
Accompanying the message is report
made to the city OF Boston upon Illegal
combinations of steel corporations doing
business with the city. The president
declares 10 favor Of currency commits
bio, to thoroughly investigate conditions
here and abroad, and recommends to
Congress legislation that will place the
currency system upon an efficient and
permanent basis. Respecting the en-
largsment of the powers of the govern
ment over corporations, the PRECEDENT
favors either the creation of a commits
zion or the establishment of a bureau in
the Department Of Commerce and Labor,
to which shall be given authority to de-
ternine which combinations operate in
restraint of trade to the disadvantage
of the general public. Such plan. be
urges, is necessary unless national in
corporation law can be enacted.

d " add resst d the House. He said that
he would not have voted for The Aldrich

with the amendments incorporated in
The Vreeland bill, be thought the House
had a good enough measure before II
and that it was duty it owed to the
business Interests of the cOu ntry to pass
it. Every measure introduced would
meet with opposition from the bar keis,
If the profit they could make under /
IS not 50 great IS under some other

that Congress listen to the commercial
interests rather than to the money
lenders.

RICH POTosi PROPERTIES

CHIHUAHUA, March A dig deal

mine and the chihuahua mining com
pany's properties at Santa Eulaliais

with the departure Of Schwab rep

of Indianapolis, all of whom went d.

AS the deal is of so great a mag

to this city and state. every one is
curious to know the amount of money
fixed as the basis of the deal. The
principals have kept this to themselves
and there is no authority whatever for
giving any amount Local rumor has
it at ss,000,000 gold, but not sure.
One thing is reasonagly certain accord

up in the class of profitable local
mines. Last year it got out close
onto 100000 pounds Of copper at q
very good profit While the lode does
not run as much as the Wolverine IL
is eventually destined to show more
pounds OF copper to the ton of rock
because the invariable rule has shown
the Kearsarge lode to improve with
depth. Ahmeek has a very large
acreage and very small capitalization.
There is very little trading in the
stock of tae company, but the slight
est demand for it usually raises thu
price five or ten dollars.
Sinking continues at the two Al
louez shafts and the showing IN the
lode continues up to expectations. In
No. l shaft the skip road Is building
to the tenth level and the shaft sink
ing below that point. In No. 2 .he
sinking is down below the thirteenth
level. The opening work continues
regularly and the mine is sending its
fun quota Of rock to the stamp mill
right along. The Allouez. with It's
thirty odd years OF failure behind it,
is now recognized as one of tha
proven mines of the district With
its present unexcelled management
and with a continuation of the i'm
proved showing in the lode the mine
is considered by Lake shareholders to
be one Of the safest and surest o. all
