nson, the secretary OF war Addressing
the southern commercial congress here
last night Mr. Dickinson declared that
because Of frequent lawless outbreaks
an uniustifiable prejudice against the
southern states existed not only in the
North, but in foreign countries. Such
outbreaks, he declared, were the result
OF abnormal conditions produced by the
Civil war. Broadly viewed. however, he
added. the South would be found TO be
a land OF law and order. and he em-
phatically urged the immediate neces-
sity Of establishing a reverence for and
an impartial enforcement Of the law as
a primary step TO the future greatness
of the South
As an ultimate solution Of the race
problem in the South. Mr. Dickinson
suggested the possibility OF the volun-
tary removal Of the mass OF young ne
groes to a country of their own, fostered
and guarded by the United States,
'When they grow in wealth and edu-
cation said Mr.. Dickinson "and still
find themselves confined IN their aspira-
tions by iusurmountable barriers which
bar their social and political progress
and deny them the opportunities Of cit
izenship open to all others, an ambition
to free themselves from such conditions
may, If sustained by liberal govern
mental policy, lead to such a move

trustees OF the new state agricultural

trustees have quite question on their
hands The course OF the school will
take not less than two years and pupils

be turned over to the state as soon as
the normal school closes IN june and

4 new barn will be built. capable Of
housing 80 COWS. and this viii be
equipped in the most up-to-date manner.
The funds for school consist Of an
appropriation OF $4,000, made by the

annual income Of $4,000, also made by
the state The school will also have
the income from $4,000, which has been
turned over to it by the normal school,

NO INTENTION OF INTERFERING.
Germany Desires to Protect It's Inter
ests In Mexico Says Report.

Cologne, March H. The Cologne Ga
zette to-day prints an inspired despatch
from Berlin dealing with the American
governments mobilization OF troops and
warships.
'No news has reached Berlin" the
despatch says, indicating that the per-
sons or property Of German citizens are
endangered in Mexico; hence the Ger
man government has no occasion to dis
cuss what measures for their protec.
tion are necessary.
If trouble breaks out in the Mex
lean ports and il IS seen that the Mex
lean authorities are unable to protect
German citizens. Germany would eXer
else clear right. which has ever been
unreseryedly recognized by the United
States, to send warships thither But
this would be far different from mix
ing in the internal affairs Of Mexico.
Even if the present troubles in Mex
leo lead to complete revolution and
even if the United States is invited to
annex that country, on to undertake its
annexation without the consent Of the
Mexican authorities, Germany certain
" would not be a Don Quixote and
whip out the rapier.
How the American states agree or
disagree IS their own affair No danger
threatens the Monroe doctrine from our
quarter. 1t makes no difference 60 us
whether it sleeps in the archives or is
taken out and busted
The above despatch to the Cologne
Gazette was called forth as an answer
70 insinuations Of the English press that
Germany was watching for an oppor-
tunity to interfere in Mexico.
