CHANGES IN PLANS
OF ATLANT|CFLEET
But Nine Vessels Listed to
Make Cruise of the
Mediterranean.

While it was previously planned that
all the battleships OF the Atlantic fleet, as
well as the torpedo hotilla, should make
the Mediterranean cruise. it has now
been decided that only nine of the bat
tleships shall visit ports in the Levant.
Secretary Daniels declares that the de-
cision to send the smaller number Of war
craft was not influenced in any manner
by the Mexican situation. He said there
is no intention at present to increase
the complement of vessels in either Mexi-
can Atlantic or Pacific waters.
Each to Visit One Port.
The nine battleships, which will steam
out Of Hampton roads October %, will
ships and destinations are as follows:
wyoming, flagship Of Rear Admiral
Badger, commander-in-chief,M Malta Yer

Florida, Naples; Utah and Delaware,
Villefranche, France, and Connecticut
and Kansas, Genoa. It is expected that
the Wyoming will arrive at Malta No
ve.nber g. Sailing three days later for
Naples, the flagship should leave that
port. leading the two vessels which will
then have completed their stay there.
for Villefranche, whence she will head
the fleet onthe homeward cruise. Arriv-
ing at their home yards December 10, the
vessels will lie at anchor until after the
Christmas holidays.
OF the battleships which will remain
at home, four probably will be in Mexi-
can waters, and four others will be in
readiness for the relief of the vessels
on Mexican patrol duty, November l.

policy which has been followed for sew

was impelled to cancel the orders for
having the torpedo boat destroyers &C

had to risk severe gales that frequent
the North Atlantic in midwinter on the
return trip. He has assured Admiral
Badger of his intention to send the de-

DANCER
Purity of White Blood Threatened
by Blacks, Declares Missis-
sippi Senator,

WASHINGTON, Oct. Senator
James X. Vardaman, of Mississippi,
speaking before the Mississippi So
ciety last night on the race question.
said the purity of the white blood of
the country is endangered by the
black race.
This is not a matter of hatred of
the negro" said the Senator 1T is
a problem brought about by the fact
that the two peoples of different
types physically can not live in one
country without one being supreme
Either the negro must rule, he must
be absorbed by US and the blood of
the white race polluted, or the white
man must be supreme and the ne
gro's status as an inferior placed by
law
Senator Nardaman quoted Charles
Francis Adams, whom he characterized
as "One of those misguided philan-
thropists," telling how, after a study
of the negro in Africa, he had come
back to America and declared, it was
utterly impossible to make the sub
ject of his studies an equal, socially
and politically, of the white man.
Those officials who compel white
women to work in the Federal or To-
cal Government offices by the side of
negroes are criminals declared the
Senator. He told of LinColn's posi-
ton on the race question and recited
passages from the martyrd Presi-
dents speeches, wherein, he declared,
Lincoln had planned to deport the
negro and solve the question for all
time
I'm the South" continued the Sen
ator, I'VE know the problem that
confronts us in the negro better than
they do up here and farther North
and West. All, how well | remember
the old negro nanny who took the
place of the one who bore me; how we'll
| remember that type of the faith
