THE DEATH OF MENELIK.

Menelik ii, Negus of Abyssinia, or
King of All Ethiopia, as he styled
himself, has been Officially reported
dead. Thus there comes to an end
the career of the greatest of recent
native African rulers. His reported
death at divers times during the last
few years has kept the eyes of the
civilized world fixed upon his king
dom. The able reign of the astute
and picturesque old monarch was a
surprising and successful defiance of
the designing nations. The tremen-
dous burden of not only conducting
the troubled internal affairs, but of
baking the greed of scheming Euro
peans falls upon the shoulders of Lii
Eyassu, the son of Menelik's daugh-
ter, whom the late King Menelik des-
ignated in June, 1908. Menelik III
being now only twenty years of age
Ras TASMANIA will act as regent.
The new government has started off
with vigor that promises success
full future. Queen Taitou, widow of
Menelik, together with several chief
tains, attempting to seize the govern
ment, were immediately arrested and
Now that England is
Withdrawing from Somaliland and the
Mad Mullah is unrestrained Lii Eyas-
su will perhaps be forced quite early
to take the field to repel the Mullah's
invasions.
Menelik ruled his own people as a
benevolent despot. He exterminated
an expedition of invading Italians in
1890 at Adowa, and today the name
Of Menelik is household term of ex-
ecration In the communities of Italy.
Though disclaiming direct relations
with other Africans, the world consid-
cred Abyssinia a negro kingdom. The
death Of the great African monarch is
therefore loss to the African race.

wear the mantle of his grandfather.

First Time Ever Done in History of

The honor of being the city's Fourth

commander of the Grand Army of the
Republic, and prominent negro at

Mayor Fitzgerald. Some time ago
the mayor tried to have President Taft
deliver the Fourth Of July address,
knowing that he would be In or near
this city on that day, but these efforts
failed on account of previous engage
ments which had been made for the
president. Past Commander Wolff is
a member of the bar, and well known
in the courts as in Grand Army circles.

UNIVERSAL RACES CONGRESS.

A congress, which promises to be
one of the most influential of our
time, is to be held in London in July,
1911. The list of those who have ex-
tended to it their moral support is
perhaps the most imposing one of its
kind. Among the supporters, who
hail from no less than forty coun-
tries, are over twenty presidents of
parliaments, about a hundred mem
bers of the Permanent Court of Ar
bitration and of the Second Hague
Conference, many present and past
statesmen and ambassadors, some
hundred and thirty professors of in
ternational law, the leading anthropol-
ogists and sociologists, the president,
treasurer, general secretary and the
majority of the council of the Inter
Parliamentary Union, and other dis
tinguished personages. r...
The object of the congress will De
to discuss the larger racial issues in
the light of modern knowledge and
the modern conscience, with a view
to encouraging good understanding,
friendly feelings and hearty cooper
alton between Occidental and Oriental
peoples. Political issues of the hour
will be subordinated to this compre-
hensive end, in the firm belief that
when once mutual respect is estab-
lished, difficulties of. every type will
be sympathetically approached and
readily solved.
The origin of this congress is read
lily explained. The interchange of
material and spiritual goods between
the different races of mankind has of
late years assumed such dimensions
that the old attitude of distrust and
aloofness is giving way to a general
desire for closer acquaintanceship.
Out of this interesting situation has
sprung the idea of holding congress
where the representatives of the diff
ferent races might meet each other
face to face, and might, in friendly
rivalry, further the cause of so-called
white people and the so-called colored
people.
Accordingly, the congress will not
represent meeting of all the races
for the purpose of discussing indis-
criminately everybody's concerns. 1t
will not discuss purely European
questions, such as the relations exist
ing between or within the different
European countries; nor, of course,
will it discuss the attitude of Europe
towards the persons. Fee for active
