SHKEWD DIPLOMATIC MOVE.
Kruger
and Steyn Out-General
British Premier.
the
NEW YORK. March 14. The Journal
and Advertiser ays:
Presidents Kruger and Steyti have
apparently made a shrewd diplomatic
move, for It cannot be supposed that
they expected Lord Salisbury to con
sent to peace on any such terms as
those they proposed. They have, how
ever, obtained from the British premier
a tangible statement of the intentions
of England and her determination to
take from the two republics their inde
pendence. This gives them something on which
they may appeal to the powers, asking
if the latter will stand by and see them
crushed and turned Into Integral parts
of the British empire.
The strengthening of England's flea
ii Chinese waters is a part of her an
swer to ihi peace proposition of the
Boer republics.
Lord Salisbury realises that Eng
land's enemies have never had 0 good
an excuse for making trouble for her
as they have now. Should tha Boer
presidents appeal to the powers against
the premier's ultimatum and ask them
to interfere to prevent the political an
nihilation of the republics, the oppor
tunity of Russia and Franc would
have come. ' - I' -
Thee powers would, very likely, noti
fy England that they would not con
sent to the taking away of the Boers'
independent, and that would mean
aar. For England would allow no such
interference In what she regards as he.
private affairs. Russia and France
have Important interests in China the
one on the north and the other on the
south. And Russia has been unwont
tdly agresflve of late. Hence the dis
patch of two such powerful warehips
as the Terrible and the Argonaut to
reinforce the Chinese squadron already
stronger than that of any other power
In Pacific waters.
I What may have a direct bearing on
titis phase of the situation Ls the de
termination of our own government In
Washington to dispatch a fleet under
.Rear-Admiral Kempff to Chinese wa
ters. The ostensible reason for this is
the protecetlon of American interests,
but England's enemies who have been
Jealously watching the growing friend
ship between Washington and London
will certainly regard it as a demonstra
tion favorably to Great Britain.

NEW TORK. March 14.-Difflcuhles
of the race problem of the South which
are hardly realised by the people of this
section of the country were set forth
by Rev. Edgar Gardner Murphy of
foptsroruery, Ala., at the annual meet
ing of the A.,ronf association last
night. Among the most Interested lis
teners was Professor Booker T. Wash
ington of the Tuskegee Institute.
William J. Schleffelin. the president
of the association, reported great prog
ress in the work done at the Hampton
Institute, which was founded by Gen
eral Armstrong, and said that gradu
ates were now competent to uplift their
fellows, others of their own race, in
stead of being out Into the world mere
ly as skilled mechanics, as they did a
few years ago. This was due, h said,
to Improve! Instruction, which had
added more than, $20.00 a year to the
salary of tbe Institution.
"The bad Southerner, the poor white
trash," he said, "complain that they
cannot get work owing to the compe
tition of educated colored men and a
man is running for governor on a ticket
calling for the abolition of these
schools."
Mr. Ogden Introduced Mr. Murphy,
who said In part:
It glvt-s me great plcacure to talk to
the representatives of the Armstrong
association for the reason that upvn
Hie pliilform of helpfulness in relation
to the problem of education of the col
ored man, the North and the South are
united. North and South agree that
the chief problem before the negro to
day is his practical efficiency In rela
tion to his actual opportunities. North
ern interference Is resented, for there
Is better feeling In the South, not only
because of the reconstruction policy,
but because the white master feels that
the negro, was the instrument of his
humiliation."
Mr. Murphy objected to President
Schieffelin's remarks about the "white
trash." and said that the poor whites
of the South had much to complain of.
"He feels." he said, "that every dollar
going to the negro is a dollar taken
from the educational opportunities of
hU ovn children."
Mr. Murphy advised the northern
people to Invest In philantrophic under
takings in the South.
Professor Washington said:
"We have emphatically heard the
voice of the politicians, but with this
conference we hear the voice we have
much need of the voice of the highly
educated people of the South."
Other speakers were R. Fulton Cut
ting, George Foster Peabodyand Silas
McBee. Reports showed a membership
of 600 and a prosperous financial condi
tion. In closing the meeting, Mr. Schleffelin
said that for the first time the appro
priation for the Indian teaching at
Hampton was cut off on the ground
that it was a secterian institution. A
motion was adopted authorizing the
officers to w rite letters to senators wh
now have the bill in hand to have the
appropriation restored.

resolution offered by Mr. Sulxer to con-

John E. Wllholiand, In a speech that
roused the enthusiasm of the commit
teemen, argued for stronger resolutions.
He asked that the president be called
upon to Make & Arm demand for an
ending by peaceful means of the con
flict In reply to the conservative ob
jections of another speaker, who feared
that any demand on the part of this
country would occasion conflict with
England, Mr. Wllholiand said:
"There will be no war. But the way
to get peace out of John Bull Is to pre
pare for the other thing. The wisdom
of the American people Is greater than
that of any administration and when
the people express their will, it will be
carried out and carried out success
fully." ,.-
Othec speakers took the same stand
l&ni although the committee on resolu
tions was not burdened with any in

resolutions to be offered tomorrow

action at W ashlngton.

PLOT TO KILL FORTY MINERS.
Attempt at Whlpsaw Camp In Arizona
Which Nearly Proved Successful.
CH ICAGO, March 14. A special to the
Record from Phoenix, Arizona, says:
Advices from Whlpsaw mining camp,
hlxty miles from here, say that a plot
to blow up forty men there on Sunday
was almost successful. The men were
sitting around the tables In the mess
room, when one of the miners who was
about to enter the room discovered the
burning fuse, which he removed. But
for this discovery. In two minutes the
sparks would have reached a charge of
giant powder sufficiently to blow Into
atoms the messhouse and all Its occu
pants.
A miner who recently came Into camp
and of whom little Is known, except
that he is eccentric, is suspected of
planning the destruction of lhe work-
ingmen. He disappeared shortly before
the dinner hour. A party of miners
ccoured the halls in a futile attempt to
locate the missing man. The authori
ties have been notified.
