WASHINGTON. Nov. 27. The President
has sent the following communication to a
prominent citizen of Charleston, S. C:
("Personal.") White House. Washlngr
ton, Nov. 26. 1902. My Dear Sir I am in
receipt of your letter of November 10 and
of one from Mr. under date of No
vember 11. In reference trf the appoint
ment of Dr. Crum as Collector of the Port
of Charleston.
"In your letter you make certain spe
cific "charges against Dr. Crum tending to
show his unfitness In several respects for
the ofllce sought. These charges are en
titled to the utmost consideration from
mc and I shall go over them carefully
before taking any action. After making
the.e charges, you. add, as further rea
son for opposition to hlcn, that he is a
colored man, and after- reciting the mis
deeds that followed carpetbag, rule and
negro domination in South Carolina, you
say that 'we have sworn never again to
submit to the rule of the African and
that 'such an appointment as that of Dr.
Crum to any such office .forces us to pro
test unanimously against this Insult to the
white blood.' and you add that you under
stood mfTto say that I would never force
a negro on such a community as yours.
"Mr. puts the objection of color
llrst: eaying that first, he is a colored
man and that of itself ought to bar him
from the office.
Has Sot Discriminated.
"In view of these last statements I
think I ought to make It clear to youwhy
I am concerned and pained by your mak
ing them and what my attitude Is as re
gards all such appointments. How any
one could have gained the idea that I had
said I would not appoint reputable and
upright colored men to office, when ob
jection was made to them solely on ac
count of their color, I confess I am un
able to understand. At the time of my
visit to Charleston last Spring I had
made and- since that time I have made
a. number of such appointments firom sev
eral states in which there Is a considera
ble colored population. For example, I
made one such appointment in Mississippi
and another in Alabama shortly before
my viflt to-Charleston. vI had at that time
appointed " two colored men as Judicial
Magistrates in the District of Columbia.
I have recently announced another such
appointment for New Orleans, and have
just made one from .Pennsylvania. The
great majority of my appointments In
every state have been of white men.
"North and South alike, it has been my
sedulous endeavor to' appoint only men
of high character and good capacity,
whether white or black. But It island
ehould be my consistent policy in every
state where their numbers warranted It to
recognize colored men of good repute and
standing in making appointments to office.
These appointments of colored men have
in np tate made more than a small pro
portion 6' the total nunYber of appoint
ments. I am unable to see how 4 can
legitimately be -asked to make an excep
tion for South Carolina. In South Carolina
to the four most important positions In
the state I have appointed three men and
continued in office a fourth, all of them
white men, three of them originally Gold
Democrats, two of them, as I am in
formed, the sons of- Confederate soldiers.
I have, been Informed by the citizens of
Charleston whom I have met that these
four men represent a high grade of public
service.
"I do not intend to appoint any unfit
men to office.- So far as I legitimately can,
T shall always endeavor to pay 'regard
tp. tho wishes and feelings of the people
of each locality, but I cannot consent to
take the position that the door of hope.
the door, of opportunity, is to be shut
upon.-any good man, no matter how wor
thy, purely upon the grounds bf race or
color. SJuch an attitude would, according
to my convictions, be fundamentally
wrong: If. as you hold, the great hulk of
the colored people are not yet fit in point
of character and influence to hold such po
sltions, it seems to me that it is worth
while pressing a premium upon .the ef
fort among them to achieve the character
and standing which will fit them.
"The Question of necrro domination docs
not enter into the matter at all. It might
as well te asserted that when I sras Gov
ernor of New York I sought to bring
about negro domination in that state be
cause I appointed twx colored, men of good
character and standing to responsible po
sitions, one of themto a position paying
-a salary twice as large as that. paid in the
office"' under "consideration; one f them
as a director of the Buffalo Exposition.
Give Colored Men, Incentive.
"The question raised by you and Mr,
In the statements to TVhich, I refer Is
simply whether li is to be declared that
under no 'circumstances shall any man of
color, no matter howaipright 'and honest,
no matter . how good a citizenno matter
how fair la "his dealings with all his fel
lows, be permltted'to "hold any office under
our Government. I certainly cannot as
sume such an attitude, and you must per
mit me to E&jy that In my view iV Is an
attitude no man should assume, whether
he looks at. i from the .standpoint (if the
true Interest, of the white man ofc- the
South or of the colored man of the South
not to peak of any other section of "the
Union. . It seems to me -that it Is a good
thing from every standpoint to let the
colored rann know that If he shows in a
marked degree the qualities of good clti--zenshlp
the qualities which m a white
man we feel are entitled to reward
then he will not be cut off from all hope
of similar reward.
"Without any regard ae to what my de
cision may be on the merits of this partic
ular applicant for this particular place, I
feel that I ought' to let you know clearly
my attitude on the far broader question
raised hy you and Mr. ; an attitude
frctn which I have not varied during my
term of office. Faithfully yours,
"THEODORE ROOSEVELT."

XATIVES SMUGGLE ARMS.
Tiavnl Ofllccr Tells of Secret Move
ments and Spread of Cholera.
SEATTLE. Nov. 27. Natives of the Phil
ippine Islands, urged on by the priests and
through the medium of secret societies,
are arming themselves, and munitions of
war are being furnished them from some
source .not known to the Government of
the United States. This Is the statement
of Lieutenant H. Newton Kierulff, of the
transport Dlx, which arrived In the har
bor today to load lumber and forage for
the islands.
As an evidence that this is tho true state
of affairs in the Philippines. Lieutenant
Kierulff tells of tho finding of a wrecked
barge on the coast of Luzon a few weeks
ago. which was loaded with guns and am
munition, which must have been delivered
from some schooner.
' He further states that cholera has been
increasing in the islands, and that the
death rate in the City of Manlla'rincc the
withdrawal of the military forces and the
turning over of the health department to
the civil government, composed mainly
pf natives, haa Increased fully &) per cent.
This, he says, is due to the fact that tho
priegts tell the natives that' It is usr3
for them to follow out the Instructions of
the Americans for the suppression of the
disease, as it is a vloltation of God, forced
upon them for giving up the country to the
United States. The result is that the na
tive health department has been lax in its
treatment of the disease, and there han
been an Increase of deaths In all parte of
the Island,-at the ratio quoted In the City
of Manila.

LOST WITH ALL HANDS.
Steamer Goes Down on Lake Eric
vrlth Eighteen Men.
DETROIT, Nov. 27. In a furious gale
on Lake Erie Sunday night the steamer
Sylvanus Macy sprang a leak 'off Point
Barrell, Ont., and plunged to the bottom,
probably carrying her entire crew, with
her. The barge Mabel Wilson, which was
being towed by the Macy, broke awayi
from the steamer in the darkness and
succeeded In sailing up the lake to Am
herstburg, where she arrived this after
noon. The first news of the disaster was re
ported by the steamer Albright, which
passed up the river early this morning.
She" reported having passed through five
miles of wreckage yesterday 30 miles
southwest of Long Point, parts of the
cabin, life preservers and doors of some
vessel. The cabin was painted white, but
there were no distinguishing mark3 to
tell what vessel It was from. The arrival
of the Wilson, however, leaves no doubt
that the wreckage is from the Macy, as
the last seen of that steamer was In the
near vicinity.
The Macy, with the Wilson In tow, left
Buffalo last Saturday with a cargo of
coal. When half way up Lake Erie the
gale was encountered, and when abreast
of Point Barrell the tow line of the barge
was throwp off by the crew of the Macy,
leaving the schooner to shift for herself.
When last seen by the crew of the Wilson
the Macy was laboring heavily in the
sea, and was evidently making for shel
ter. If thet crew had time to leave the
ship before the plunge to the bottom, It
Is hot believed that the small boats could
have lived long In the terrible sea run
ning. That nothing has, been heard of
them has convinced the owners that all
are lost.
The Macy was owned by P. J. Ralph &
Co., of Detroit, and was Insured for $16,-
000. She is one of the older types of
wooden steamers. She registered 552
tons. She was built in 1881.
The only names of the crew obtainable
at the office of the owners of the Macy
arc as follows: '
M. W. Gotham, Richland City, Wis.,
captain.
. Gotham, son of captain, mate.
Fk Gregory, Detroit, first engineer.
George Webb, second engineer.
John Nugent, Algoma, wheelman.
As ' the personnel of the crew of the
steamer changes at nearly every port vis
ited, a complete list Is not available In
the office. The crew of the Macy prob
ably numbers 18, as that is the number
necessary to man a ship of her size.
The captain of the Mable Wilson ' is
W. J. Gotham. The latter stood at the
helm and saw his brother's vessel pitch
to tne Bottom of tire lake.
