Fine Marathon weather. There is
talk of postponing the great race on
account of the bad state of the roads
hut nothing has been definitely decid-
I'd so far.
If the race is run as per schedule
the Stars guessing competition will
close at noon tomorrow. If, however.
the race is postponed the contest will
remain open till further notice.
Cheatham, Scharsch and Nilsson reg
istered the most votes yesterday.
Scharsch has ousted Sam Hop from
second place and Nelson is close on
the pake's heels.
l.. Rosa made a big gain, it doubt
less being figured that his light weight
will help him in the probable heavy
going.
Both the Mahukonas received good
support while others who claimed the
voters attention were Lebrescu, Waisn
Kepa, Downey, Richard, Gus. Bechert,
Kaoo, Kuhns and Cockburu.
OF the til-endtrs Graves made the
best gain.
-Four new names are introduced into
the list today They are: Schmidt,
ENenson, Pickard and Cabral.
Ayres received hardly any votes yes
terday, probably due to the announce
rient that he intends to walk all or

MARKET MOVEMENT
OF THE DAY

New York, Dec. 3.-Prices of stocks
turned upwards today without any
well defined explanation for the re-
versal of yesterdays course.
Reports were circulated that the
switchmen's strike in the northwest
was not destined to long continu-
ance. Late In the day came report
from Chicago that II had been settled.
The hopeful feeling over this relieved
the market from considerable pres
sure. The break in relations In this
labor dispute has involved a good deal
of uneasiness in financial circles.
There have been reports circulated
at various times of a general move
ment on the part of the eastern rail-
roads to advance wages as u conces-
sion to possible demands expected.
Since the switchnen went out i'm the
northwest the fear has grown that the
trouble would spread and overturn the
arrangements for smoothing over
troubles of this kind. There was a
change of feeling on the subject of
the forthcoming message of the presi-
dent to congress. II was said today
that reports from Washington of radi-
cal recommendations to be incorpo-

The announcement of the aeuuisi-
ton of a majority of the stock of the
Equitable Life Assurance company by
j. Il. Morgan. together with the con-
troll of the Equitable and the Mercan-
tile Trust companies involved. was
of important effect. The transaction
was viewed in connection with the
earlier acquisition of the Guaranty
Trust company by a partner in the
firm of j. i. Morgan a Co. The pro-
digious Capitalization in the directing
power of credit institutions result
ing from this suggests a line of policy
dominant i'm the foremost financial
minds of the country which seems to
indicate confidence in exemption from
executive interference in the processes
of combination and consolidation. A

Town OF BROWNING
HAS NARROW ESCAPE

Helena, Dee. 3.-The town of Brown
ing, on the Blackfoot Indian reserva-
ton, was almost wiped out by fire
Monday night. according to Assistant
United States District Attorney c. T..
Ford. who returned last night from
Browning. where he appeared ut to
preliminary hearing of Lazy Boy and
Chief Coward bound over to await the
action of the grand jury on the charge
of having murdered Mrs. Lazy Boy.
The most furious gale in the memory
of the Indians was thdt of Monday
n!sht, when tho wind attained a veloc-
lily ~ 30 miles an hour. The stage
was overturned and an Indian and his
spouse. who We're driving homeward,
were caught in the gale. Their wagon
was overturned and the Indian woman
was thrown out with so much force
that her shoulder blade was broken.
In some unknown manner prairie
fire started when the gale was at Its
height and n sheet of flame rushed
over the reservation toward Browning.
II travelled with the speed of rifle
ball and ate up everything In it's path
Haystacks surround Browning and the
flames We're but few yards distant
when the wind suddenly changed its
course and the fire shot off to one
SIDE of the town. 1t seemed like q

had expected to lose everything.

of stone to that found in Montana. We
also feel that the additions now con-
templated should be made of the same
N aterial as the original building, to
insure uniformity as well as other ad-
vantages. We can see no other way
for this to be done, as we understand,
without a special session of the legis-
iature.
However, we believe that the in
terests OF Montana demand such action
and we members OF that body respect
fully request that a special session be
called at the earliest possible momeAt
for the sole and only purpose of taking
such action as will enable the state to
complete the capitol building. as now
proposed, by the use of Montana stone.
We promise TO attend any session that
may be called for that purpose, without
expense to the state.
This suggestion on our part Is not
to be considered as in any way n re-

Butte. Dec. 3.-Petitions were circu-

calling an extra session of the legis-
lature. in order TO take such legislative
action as may be needed in order to
have Montana stone used for the con-
struction Of the additions to the cap

tive Frank b. connoll., was circulating
the petitions in Butte yesterday. and
others are being circulated in the
northern part of the state. Mr.. Connolly
said yesterday that neur:y all the rep
resentatives who have been asked to

believed that already about half the

no reason why he should be removed.
He is honest. What more?
You know, Afr. President, there are
some people, in this country, who are
never satisfied, no matter what you
do for them. Take for instance the
Democratic party South. You have
given to that party, every best Office
to the exclusion of colored Republi-
cans and when the terms of the color
cd office-holders have expired, the ru-
NOR is, no more colored men will be
appointed. Grover Cleveland, al
though a Democrat, gave the South
to understand that no man should be
removed on account of his color. He
would not permit those who were
inimical to colored Americans to
dictate to him. What IS about the
Colored man, South that he should not
be appointed to an Office? Is it fair
to bar a man simply because he is
colored? You are the president of the
people; you are the man to whom the
nation will look for protection.
Give the South to understand Mr..
President that you know no m in by
the color of his skin, but rec5gnize
all citizens of the United States, true
Americans and they must and shall be
protected and recognized according to
MERIT.
Relative to the coming appointment
of colored men let them be worthy.

some recognition. Bring no more
outsiders to this city for District of

the people will appreciate you. IN

Resolutions were adopted chalIleng-
ing Rev. DR.. Nelms to prove his as
sertions.
Richard E. S. Toomey presided.
William H. Ferris, Peril w. Frisby,
J. H. Stewart, Rev. James D. Croth-
ers and others spoke on the patriot
ism of the American Negro.
Nations History Reviewed
The first speaker, after reviewing
the history of the nation from the
revolutionary days through the Span
ish war, declared that members of
the race were never found wanting
in patriotism. The speaker declared
that Negroes were with Balboa at
the discovery Of the Pacific Ocean,
with Cortez IN Mexico, and were
members of the transcontinental ex-
peditions of Fremont and Clark.
As proof of the patriotism of the
race, the speaker told of the 10000
Negroes enlisted for service in the
Civil War, and their condu t in sew
eral battles, their participation in the
battles of Bunker Hill and Lake Erie
and their courage in Cuba in the
war with Spain.
when an unbiased or unprejudic-
ed person reviews these historical
events the speaker said, chow can
he doubt the black mans patriotism? !?
Rather the person would be con-
strained to believe that the Negro is
a member of the human family and
can rise to deeds of heroism or
mount the SUBMITS of achievement" "
Unchanging Allegiance
Peril W. Frisby said that though
the Negro has been ostracised and
prescribed by many of his white
brothers of the country, he has never
wavered in his allegiance to the ma
ton. J. H. Stewart declared de-
spite the position of many of the race
and their crying wants there were
no Negro anarchists or bombthrow-
ers.
Rev. James D. Corrothers describ-
ed the mental progress of the race
and its desire to be considered a
part of the country's loyal and de-
voted population He pleaded for
fair play for the black man at all
times and declared the race would
not be found wanting.
The meeting was an enthusiastic
one and lasted for several hours. The
resolutions were adopted without
dissent. A copy of them will prob
ably be forwarded to Rev. DR..
Nelms.

rr in the living roots of growing
plants as in the dry roots of a dead
language The allotment of the Ne
donal one hundred and sixty acres
University would be of the great
est significance to the colored rale.
This institution stands out conspic-
uously in the eye of the nation as
the national university for colored
youth. Congress has just establish
ed here a science hall at a total cost
of $4,000, which will shortly be
completed and equipped with ade-
quate facilities for up-to-date work
in physics, chemistry, and biology.
The first outlet of these sciences s
the medical department. t,he = -
natural step is scientific agriculture,
Statistics show that IS per cent.
of the Negro race derives their liv-
ing directly from the soil. Although
there are agricultural schools in the
several States built upon the basis
of this Morrill, fund, still there is no
such institution in all the land with
adequate scientific equipment and a
competent student body to pursue ag-
ricultural science of collegiate grade.
In this respect an agricultural de-
partment at Howard University
would answer the needs of the whole
race. A goOdly number of colored
men trained in the principles of ag-
riculture, with exact knowledge and
methods, who might serve as teach
ers and general directors of the
race in agricultural pursuits through
out the South, is one of the great de
mandS of the situation. This de-
mand Howard University is prepar-
ed to supply. Independent of this
fund, the authorities of this institu-
ton are planning to enlarge the
scope of the university by establish
ing a department of technology and
a department of agriculture, which,
together with the medical school,
will furnish ample scope for the ap-
plication of exact scientific knowl-
edge to the practical pursuits of the
race.
The unique relation of Howard
University to our national race prob
lem and its peculiar preparedness to
render this high-grade scientific
service to the nation is by all odds
the strongest reason why Congress
should extend the application of the
Morrill, fund to cover the District Of
Columbia.
