1t is not too much to construe it into
the first step toward a world-war-a
war of reprisal and conquest beside
which the other great wars of the
world would seem trivial. For the
fact has at last come home to the ma
tons Of the world that ultimately the
English-speaking peoples will domi-
nate it--dominate it because they are
the practical peoples. They have given
TO n world all its great practical in
Ventlons--the railroads, the steam
ship. electricity. the telegraph and
cable-all of them; they are the great
clvlllzing forces, rounding the world

1T requires no great effort of the
Imagination, Mr.. Grimm, to foresee

Mr.. Campbell permitted his guile

upon those Of the young man for half
a minute. He caught himself wonder

the deliberate Indifference with which
Mr.. Grimm masked his emotions. In
his admiration of this quality he quite
overlooked the remarkable mask of
~benevolence behind which he himself
hid.

marked, after a time. What does 1t

flute. A zephyr, perfumed with the
clean, fresh odor Of lilacs, stirred the
draperies OF the archway which led
into the conservatory and rustled the
bending branches of palms and ferns.
For a scant instant Mr.. Grimm's
eyes rested on a young woman who
sat a dozen feet away, talking, in play

She ran on, about other things, with
only an occasional remark from Mr..
Grimm. who was %thoughtfully nursing
his knee Somewhere through the
chatter and effervescent gaiety, min
sling with the sound Of the pulsing
music, he had a singular impression Of
a rhythmical beat, an indistinct tattoo,
noticeable, perhaps, only because of
its monotony. After a moment he
shot a quick glance at Miss Thovno
and understood; it was the tapping Ct
an eXquisitely wrought ivory fan
against one Of her tapering. glovtd

"Dot~-dash-dot! Dot-dash-dot. Dot

M. Grimm twisted around in his

a long look n the senorita's pretty
face. Behind the careless ease CT re-

NEGRO DISCREDITS
 CENSUS FIGURES

Oshkosh, Wis, November 10.-Booker T. Washington, negro educator, who delivered lecture here tonight con- tends that the negro population in the United States is increasing at a normal ratio, although census figures issued recently showed that the negroes are increasing only about half as rapidly as the whites.
 When the census figures of 1900 showed that the negro population in fthe United States was increasing at the rate of IS per cent" said pr. Wash ington, Professor Wilcox of Cornell university explained the figures as the result of an undercount in 1890. In other words, the negro population turned out to be larger than expected in 1900 because the figures had shown 1t to be less than it actually was 10 years before. The figures of the pres ent census seem to show that Professor Wilcox was right. According to his statement the census of 1890 should have shown an increase of IT per cent, that of 1900 should have shown an in crease of II per cent then. This, with the increase of II per cent from 1900 to 1910, shows then that the negroes are not increasing as rapidly now as they were formerly, but it shows they are still growing numerically at a normal rate of birth"

 While the chief executive spent much of his time in dispatching routine busi- ness, he devoted much of the evening pe- riod to reflection over the address which he will deliver in New York on November Is before the chamber of commerce of the Empire state.

EXCITEMENT INTENSE

Gadsden, November 1o.-(Special)- Sheriff John Lister and Coroner E.. G. Woodliff returned here tonight from the scene of the Lutz murder, near Gallant. No clew has been found and the coro ner's jury adjourned until o'clock Sat urday morning.
 Quite a number of witnesses were ex- amined today and search made of the house. Notes amounting to $25,000 were found and the robbers got away with between 5000 and 5000. Lutz had made arrangements to loan s2500 to a party. who failed to keep the engagement, and it is supposed the robbers took this sum.
 II is believed two men committed the murder and by whom 1t is not known. Excitement Is intense at the scene of the dastardly crime and last night at least a thousand or more heavily armed men gathered around the house. The scene of the atrocious crime is in a rough mountain district.
