K. It. "Wright, a colored man who is president of an industrial college located near Savannah, Ga., testified before the industrial commission to-day as to the condition of negroes in the South. He advocated national aid In their education, saying he did not consider the Southern States financially able to give the necessary assistance. He also favored separate agricultural experiment stations for negroes. Major Wright .eaid the colored man is not a burden to his white neighbor. Negroes own more than I.UW.UOO acres of farm land in Georgia and pay taxes on property valued at S14,uoo,oo. As a rule, said Major Wright, the successful negroes are not the ex-slaves. In his opinion. If the government had given each colored man a mule and forty acres. Instead of conferring the ballot on him, it would have been for the benefit ot all. He thought it a mistake to take the ballot from any one at this late day, though he did not believe that the ballot had been of any especial benefit to the colored men. The requirement of an educational qualification for voting would be a stimulus to secure this qualification. "Very few colored people In the South." he said, "take any interest in politics, and, except in the cities, they have come to the conclusion that they have no business with politics."

DR. C0NATY ALARMED

SAYS THEKE JUST HE IMFICATION OF CATHOLIC SCHOOLS, Or They Will He Left Behind hy the "MlKhty Machine of Secularized Instruct Ion." CHICAGO, April 10 .-"Entering upon the new century, the Catholic educational system in America must be prepared to meet with difficulties that will test its strength to the utmost. The unification of education under State control has established a mighty machine of secularized instruction, which threatens to destroy all private effort either on the part of individuals or the church. It is important to meet unification by unincation, to so strengthen the Catholic educational system that it may defend Itself against all attacks and save the religious instruction of its people from the dangers of nonreligious education." Intense enthusiasm greeted this significant declaration to-day at the opening of a conference of representatives of Catholic colleges throughout the United States. The speaker was the highest official in the Catholic educational system in this country, Dr. Thomas J. Conaty, rector of the Catholic University at Washington, D. C, and president of the National Association of Catholic Colleges. Dr. Conaty is an ideal orator, both in presence and in voice, and as he proceeded to forecast the work of the delegates his words were listened to with breathless Interest. Standing the central figure in the assemblage of distinguished educators and churchmen present, he nnjde a remarkably picturesque figure in his flowing black robes, relieved by a sash of brilliant crimson, and his shaggy iron-gray hair showing in sharp contrast with his fresii, clear-cut, intellectual countenance. "Entering into a general view of the situation which presents itself," said Mgr. Conaty, "it is Important to realize the meaning of the facts which face us. Among these facts must be reckoned the state school system, with its rapidly increasing high school and even college development, the tendency to do away with colleges by uniting the high school to the university, the establishment of educational institutions of all sorts endowed by private munificence of non-Catholics arid attracting Catholic students because these schools have not the character of state Institutions, the tendency of the universities to control the state schools, to dictate the examination of teachers and to demand the university degree or approval as a condition of appointment." Reference was made by the speaker to what he construed to be the efforts In this direction as manifested in the schools of some of the large cities, and as presented in the non-Catholic character of scientific publications, us also that of many of the aids to public Instruction. "To offset these conditions," said Dr. Conaty, "the Catholic Church spent last year in the United States the sum of JüMWJ on education, chiefly in parochial schools and exclusive of what was spent in academic, collegiate and university, education. Notwithstanding the serious demands made upon her for church and charitable development she has under her educational training more than l.OOO.OuO pupils. Of these about lo.euo have received collegiate instruction under her direction." Mgr. Conaty contended that a most Important Issue in Catholic educational work is in the development of the Catholic high schools, which are the necessary links between the parochial schools and the Catholic colleges. A communication was read from the Papal delegate, Archbishop Martlnelll, expressing hearty sympathy with tho purpose of the conference, especially the tmlflcatlon and co-ordination of Catholic educational work. The communication said: "We live in times when natural valuc3 are appreciated first. Catholic education, it is true, offers first, and, as most important, supernatural value. This it must and shall always continue to do. But there is no reason why it should not offer nt the fame timo a natural value equal to and surpassing that which non-Catholic education can possibly hope to offer. My earnest prayer is that God may bless every effort made in this country to further the interests of Catholic education." A message was received from Cardinal Gibbons, saying: "We canot too much Insist on the great advantages to be derived from concerted action on the part of our educational leaders. Above all, unify your system and march with serried ranks in the great cause of Christian enlightenment." LABOR AND INDUSTRY. The Prussian government has given orders for the construction of five hundred freight cars at the iron works at Laurahuette. The annual report of the London Stock Exchange shows that the year's profit, i:iv),000, will be divided among 1,157 proprietors, whose dividend is thus 75 per cent. Eighteen charters providing for the development of the oil fields at Beaumont and other Texas points, aggregating $5.272.000 in capital stock, were filed with the Texas secretary of state in two days. The incorporators are principally Eastern and Western capitalists. The striking miners at the Jones & Adams Company's shaft No. 2. of Springfield, 111., returned to work yesterday, pending the result of a meeting to be held to-night between the representatives of the miners and the district president on one hand and Mr. Adams, of the coal company, on the other. The full amount and more of the $500,000 is.-ue of the second-mortgage Pan-American expo.sitien bonds recently authorized by the New York Legislature has been underwritten. Subscriptions were first called for on Saturday last, and yesterday morning It was announced that they amounted to $510,000. At the annual meeting yesterday of Bell I-ros., the Mlddlesborougn steel firm. Sir Lowthlan Bell announced the profits for the year to be 3.10,(1110. In spite of all that has been said about foreign competition, Sir Lowthlan said he did not fear for tin future of the Iron and steel trades In Great Britain if they had anything like fair play. It Is announced that the two New York .Stock Exchange members who sold their seats recently for $.V.uo0 each, the highest price ever paid for a seat, are Edward Talcott and Louis V. Bell. Mr. Bell Is retiring on the twenty-first anniversary of his entrance to the exchange. Both men have been among the most daring room traders on the exchange floor. The American Sheet Steel Company has decided to operate Its plant at Denhlson, O.. orders having been given to light the fires Monday, April 15. A few days ago the Business Mn's League brought suit against the steel company to "recover a bonus of :-V.C)0. The suit was compromised by the steel companv agreeing to operate the plant. The mill has been idle nearly a year. Representatives of thirty-five of the largest soap companies in the country met in Chicago Tuesday and yesterdas' and formed the American Soap Manufacturing Association, designed to eliminate destructive competition. James B. McMahon, of the N. K. Falrhank Company, is president, Richard Colgate, of New York, is vlc? president, and William Peet, of Kansas City, is treasurer. The New River and Kanawha Coal Company and the Monongahela River Consolidated Coil and Coke Company, it Is said, have perfected an agreement bj- which the lower rivtr coil markets are to be proratab!y divided. It is claimed that the agreement gives tho river combine exclusive control of the fuel supply of certain industries In the river towns, reserving other fuel markets for the West Virginia products. President Kondolf, of tho American Sewer-pipe Company, known as the sewerpipe trust, denied, yesterday, the rumors that have been current to the effect that the capital stock of the company was to be increased and the independent factories taken into the combination. Robinson Brothers & Co., whose plants at Akron, O., Canal Dover and Midvale were said to be under option, also deny that they are in the thai. The Amalgamated ?et Met.il Workers International Association will wage war on the American Federation of Labor and the National Building Trades Council unless certain alleged wrongs are righted. It was Claimed on the floor of the convention of the association at Columbus. O., yesterday that the two major organizations were accepting the per capita tax of the association and still permitting several la-

dependents in large cities to affiliate with them directly. Vice President Duffy brought the matter to the attention of tne convention and claimed that the only way harmony could be restored was by forcing the independents into the association. This could only be brought about by the two major organizations, and unless they take such action the association will go "rough shod" after those who can bring about .such a result. With the approach of the budget statement the excitement in the British sugar market is reaching fever heat. The wharves at Hamburg are choked with sugar waiting to be shipped to England, and there is such a run on vessels that even colliers are being pressed into service. Sugar Imports for the month of March were 257,4:0 tons, as against 131.2C2 tons in March of last year. If it should turn out that no tax Is to be levied on sugar there would doubtless be a great slump in price, and probably a number of speculators would fail.

The price is fixed arbitrarily by the trust. The four-dollar rate has been in effect for ov r a year.

Whv some novelists ever tolerate the dramatization of their novels may be explained by the statement that, while the great majority of novels sell less than 2,ooo ccples, and thereby yield their authors only $250 or fcfX, "a play that Is only moderately successful will yield Its author almost at once $5o0 or $1.000." We don't begrudge the novelists their earnings, but they must be ashamed of themselves when they see their creations cheapened on the stage. This dramatization of the popular novel Is too often a disgusting burlesque. Admiral Itemey Sali for Australia. WASHINGTON.

WEST POINT CHANGES. Officers Assigned to Duty und Others Ordered to Join Regiments. WASHINGTON, April 10. Lieut. Col. George B. Davis, judge advocate, has been relieved as professor of law and history at the West Point Military Academy and Maj. Edgar S. Douglass, judge advocate, has been ordered to assume the duties.

Jens Bugge Twentyeighth United States Infantry; First Lieut. George Blakely, artillery corps; First Lieut. William R. Smith, artillery corp?. The order detaching from duty at West Point Lieut. Col. George It. Davis, judge advocate at the academy, has had the effect of reviving speculation as to the succession to tha office of Judge advocate general of the army, to become vacant next montn through the retirement of Judge Advocate General Lieber. Colonel Davis, though well down on the list of senior officers of the legal department of the army, is tegarded as a promising candidate, principally because of a determination attributed to Secretary Root for naming no officer for the head of the staff corps who shall not have seen some years of service before retirement. It is not possible to ascertain whether or not Secretary Root has committed himself to this policy. If he has not, and at least three prominent army officers are of the contrary opinion, It Is within his power and quite in the line of precedents to apptdnt to the office of judne advocate general, and retire In the order named. Colonel Clous. Colonel Barr and Colonel Hunter, the three senior officers of the legal corps. The celt brated Carter casj has been drawn Into this contest for appointment, under the allegation that Carter's friends are determined to prevent the appointment of the officers who prosecuted him. Carnegie mid the Cook. New York Sun. Some of the passengers who traveled to Europe with Andrew Carnegie were rather overawed by the Idea of their proximity to a man who was giving away millions, but at the same time were very curious to see such a man and find out how he conducted himself toward humbler mortals in the comparative intimacy of an ocean voyage. One of them who had never seen Mr. Carnegie expressed this in talking with the ship's doctor as the vessel made her way out past quarantine. "Mr. Carnegie? Why. bless you. he's one of the most democratic men I ever met." said the doctor. "You'll see plenty of him before we reach the other side. In fact. I think he's on deck now. Why. yes, there he is that elderly, active gentleman coming along here with another man." "What, that old gentleman with the gray hair?" nskrd the lntfreteä passenger. "Oh. Lord, no! That's Lilly langtry's cook. He's going home. Mr. Carnegie Is the other man he Is talking with." But the passenger was fully assured of the democratic tendencies ef the millionaire steel merchant. All Precedent I pitet. San Francisco Chronicle. The prompt action of the President in rewarding General Funston with the rank of brigadier in the regular army will meet public approval. There has been talk of protests from regular army officers, but for the credit of the army we do not tel!eve that any officer grudses Funston Iiis promotion. The restrictions of the service would prevent any regular army officer from indulging in such a feat as that of Funston's, hut the coolness and nerve required to enrry It through have met with no warmer recognition than among the men over whose heads Funston has been advanced. His case Is like Hobson's; It's so unusual that it cuts all red tap and upsets all precedents.
