lieve in upholding the law as it Is now framed. Bishop Turner reiterated his opinion and said: "I am as much convinced as ever that African emigration would bfe best for the negro and best for the white man. There is an irresistible conflict between whites and blacks but separation can reeontfffe and put an end to. Our children are generated and nurtured under a malignant and misanthropic excitement that will wreck this country and make our civilization a hiss and a byword. And if it is a fact that the negro will not let white women alone, Qien white men owe it to their manhood and honesty to get rid of him and If they will open up a highway to Africa, millions of the black race will go. Rather than shed so much blood, and possibly some innocent blood, you had better enact laws to brand these fools and scoundrels and crop their ears and banish them to Africa.”

An extra force of police kept the crowd in order and maintained a perfectly clear path for the marchers. The parade was a magnificent spectacle of life and color.

The plan of arbitration for the settlement of the great steel strike submitted by Simon Burns, president of the Labor Assembly 300, the national organization of the Window Glass Workers, and also head of the Knights of Labor, has been rejected by President Schwab, of the steel trust, but another proposition will be submitted to him by Mr. Burns. “I submitted my plan to Schwab merely as a suggestion,” said Burns at Indianapolis, "and if there is anything in it that is objectionable to the trust officials it can he modified. When I return to Pittsburg I shall take the matter up again with Schwab in the hope of making some kind of an arrangement whereby the strike question can be submitted to arbitration. I think that a start toward a settlement of the strike should be made somewhere at once, as it is hurting bus!* ness. If it is true, as Schwab says, that there is nothing to arbitrate, why, I cannot see where his side would be injured by submitting to arbitration. It would be different, of course, if the matter should be submitted to Interested parties, but that is not the plan.”

The suffrage committee of the Virginia constitutional convention has agreed at Richmond upon a plan which will disfranchise nearlyl&ll the negroes in the state for all time and leave the white voters untouched.

Those who can understand it will be registered voters for life. In 1903 a property qualification will be added, which will act as a still further bar to negro suffrage. This plan, it is said, will most likely be adopted by the convention.

return to Paris is not desired. Leading diplomats at Paris believe that the first step has been taken in the disruption of the concert of European powers, under which the integrity of the Ottoman Empire was guaranteed. The Berlin treaty was the outgrowth of an attempt on the part of other European powers to check the designs of Russia in encroaching on Turkish territory. Since then all of the powers have had occasion to regret their friendship for the sultan. Vast claims have piled up, and the signatory powers may be obliged, in self-protection, to ignore the agreement and force the Porte to pay up or divide his possessions among them. A semi-official note has been issued announcing that the Porte, not having carried out its undertakings with regard to the disputed questions between the French and Ottoman governments, M. Constans, the French ambassador, acting under instructions from the foreign minister of France, left Constantinople Aug. 26, the date named in his last communication to the Porte on the subject. An arrangement had been effected Aug. 17, and Its terms drafted by the Ottoman foreign minister, with the approval of the Sultan who had promised M. Constans that the text should be handed to him Aug. 18. M. Constans telegraphed to Paris Aug. 19 that none of the promises had been fulfilled, and M. Delcasse, minister of foreign affairs, Aug. 21 telegraphed M. Constans that, in view of so flagrant a disregard of the undertakings, the negotiations could no longer be continued, and requested M. Constans to inform the Porte that he had received orders to leave Constantinople. Sultan Talks Fight. The Tageblatt of Vienna has published correspondence from Constantinople which says the sultan will go to war rather than yield to unreasonable demands, that he is studying plans for defense and that he has ordered 300 guns from Germany.

For hours the steamer, half full of water, with spars and smokestack gone, with fires out and with pumps useless, had drifted before the fierce wind, the men aboard utterly helpless. Every fresh gust threatened to send the craft to the bottom. Death seemed certain to every member of the crew until another steamer appeared.
