ITHOLD8 THE PRESIDENT. Alton Tt. Parker Suys Roosevelt Did Right In DlHchiirglng Negroes. New York, Feb. 9. Alton B. Par ker, addressing the Maryland Society here, said he believed the President bad the right to discharge the negro soldiers at Brownsville and was jus tified In using that power. He con demned the Interference of the legis lative branch of the Government and attributed Its action In the matter to political motives. "It Is not the first time the poli ticians have used the negroes for their own purposes," said Judge Parker. "They used them when they saddled upon those States to the south of Maryland these people as voters. Every Intelligent man, I think, will admit that granting the franchise to the negro at the close of the war was a mistake for the negro as well as for the white man. The aegro was poor and not fitted to exercise the right of franchise. Poli ticians for their own selfish pur poses told him he was fitted to rule and to take possession and many well-intentioned men and women joined In the mistake." STEAMER SINKS IN ONE MITCTE.

Th t arrlva of the San Franc! ;eo school author: th-s yesterday developed the fact tha (he exclusion of Japanese coolie la bor has practically been urra:ig:l. I jo'.'ins that not only the I'ni'.-J but Japan wants exci..:'. :i. 1".. terms of the treaty have been, It 1 understood, practically Egrc-d '.n;. by he State Department and tin. Japanese Foreign Office. Japan ha jlready indicated her attitude by re fusing to grant to her subjects cer (ideates to the Anieriian mainland desires to retain all In r labo. In Japan to develop all the Industrial enterprises that have .ieen recently projected and that the Mikado Is pro tecting and encouraging in every conceivable way. Japan, it is said, gave some days ago her cheerful uc acqulesrence to the exclusion Idea and is even willing to state In tin treaty that America Is privileged to carry out Its Ideas. All this has. of course, been known to the Administration for some time. President Roosevelt, through a do sire to vindicate himself In his Cali fornia attitude, Is Insisting on the admission of Japanese to the Ca.l fornla public schools, and has per mitted the impression to grow tl.at this admission is essential to the nuking of nn exclusion treaty. It would seem, that the Presiden tial insistence of the admission of the Japanese to the California schools Is a personal sidelight. If California now voluntarily acquits the Japanese to the public schools, the real policy enunciated some months ago will have been Justified. Hut that this lias even an indirect bearing on the pending treaty Is denied. ARTIES TING OFFICER PILLED FROM A WATERY CRAVE RY PRISONER. New York, Feb. 9. Howard M.
