THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1901. i BISHOP WALTERS IN TOWN nn is nicsmnxT or Anto-AMi'iti- CA. NATIONAL COL.CIL. Here to Inaprrt Churchm of Indian npoll iJlMtrlct ill Vipi 011 Fnture of Colored ltnce. Bishop Walters, who presides over the Missouri district of the A. M. E. Zion Church, embracing the States of Missouri, Indiana and part of Illinois, came to this city yesterday for tho purpose of inspecting and regulating the church work of the In dianapolis district prior to the fitting of the annual conference at Chicago, in Oc tober. As president of the Afro-American Na tional Council, which met in this city last August, Bishop Walters has atalned na tional prominence and is generally recog nized as one of the leading men of his rac The colored people of Indianapolis are es pecially proud of Bishop Walters and he icenii to have a predilection for Indian apolis. "In no city In the world." said the bI.hop last night, "Is the negro better treated than In Indianapolis. The courtesy shown us by the newspapers and by the citizens during our meeting last summer has endeared the city of Indianapolis to every negro in attendance at the meeting." As president of the Afro-American Coun cil the bishop Is preparing to Issue a call for the annual meeting, which is to be held this year- In Philadelphia in August. "As reat as our meeting was last summer," said the bishop, "we anticipate that it will be much larger this year. All of the leading men of our race, including Washington, Green. Mason and others, have promised to attend and we expect to accomplish much for the uplifting of our race. In addition we have invited such men as Grove r Cleve land. Vice President Roosevelt, (Governor Stone and others of the leading statesmen of the countw, and have received assur ances that most of them will address the council some time during the meeting." BUSINESS QUESTIONS. The bishop Paid that the coming meeting of the council would endeavor to emphasize the business questions which are confront ing the colored race. It is the intention, he says, to raise money at the meeting for the purpose of purchasing a large cotton mill with which two negroes are now struggling at Concord. N. C. "We will give these men of our race the financial back ing they require." said the bishop, "and show the world that It Is possible for col ored men to enter the front ranks in the business world." The council will also dis cuss the question of the disfranchisement of tho negroes Vrt the South. "We have al ready raised more than JG.uuO with which to defeat the 'grandfather' clause in the Louisana election law," he said, "and we Intend to carry the matter to the United States Supreme Court at once. I feel quite sure that the court will sustain our con tention because we are undoubtedly in the right We are not fighting the property or educational qualifications, because they apply to everybody alike, but we think we ought not to be discriminated against." When asked what he thought of Hooker T. Washington's industrial school the bishop replied that he believed Washington's idea of teaching tho negro was the correct one. There is a disposition on the part of many of our people," he said, "to criticise .Mr. Washington because he do s not give the negro higher ideals than those of manual labor. These criticisms are usually pro voked through jealousy, and come from a misunderstanding of the negro's present condition and his nteds. I. like Mr. Wash ington, believe in preparing our people for the things they can do now. IDEALS TOO HIGH. There are too many negroes who want to enter professional life want to be law yers, doctors, preachers, etc. and they for get that they cannot make this gigantic leap in a second. The negroes have made a wonderful advance in the last decade, find would be on still higher ground had they taken advantago of their opportuni ties. The trouble with them has been that they have not used their rights and priv ileges in moderation. Time and again have they been compelled to take a tackward step recause ot some outrageous abuse of the law. But I am not discouraged, for I believe the negro Is destined to reach the altitude which he has so long coveted Booker T. Washlrgb.n is. in my opinion! the greatest man of his race, notwithstand ing he has many enemies who refuse to make this acknowledgement. I believe that there are negroes in this country who pos sess more intellectuality, but Washington lias accomplished the greatest work for his people, and is. therefore, the greatest man. "You may say for me," said the bishop. In conclusion, "that whatever certain men of Washington's race may say of him, there is no disposition on the part of the Afro-American National Council to deny his leadership." The bishop will remain in the city for three or four days, and will then leave for Chicago. He is making preparations at rresent to attend the ecumenical conference of Methodism, which is to be held in Lon don, England, next September. THREE THOUSAND LIGHTS.

CUBAN INDEPENDENCE DAY IT MAY I1C FIXED AT SOME DATE NEAIl TIIK CLOSE OF THE YEAR. War Department Thinks All Prelimi naries May Be Disposed of by the Christmas Holidays. WASHINGTON. June 13. It is expected at the War Department that Cuban inde pendence will be an accomplished fact by next Christmas. The next step in order, now that the Piatt amendment Is adopted by the constitutional convention, is for that body to take up and pass an electoral bill which will provide for the election of all the officers necessary to set up an inde pendent government in Cuba. It ls'&iid here that such a bill is already framed and is ready lor submission to the convention at any moment. There is good reason for tho belief that Secretary Root has seen this bill and has approved of its provisions, if, indeed, he has not actually had to do with it3 construction. It is thought the conven tion can dispose of this measure In a week or two, and that will complete the labors of the body. A pericyi of ninety days, it is said here, must be allowed for publica tion of tne electoral act before the neces sary elections can be had. It may be necessary, and probably will be, to maintain some United States troops in Cuba after the new olficials are Inaugurated and until the Cubans have had time to set up a Cuban military force or gendarmerie, but the length of this stay probably will de pend upon the wishes of the Cubans them selves.

Consul General Gowdy, at Paris, in a communication to the Department of State, expresses the opin ion that American coal can be advanta geously placed in competition with coal im ported from other countries into France, especially in view of the recent imposition of the English export tax on that product. The main obstacle in this regard, he says, would be the high rates of ocean transpor tation. If these could be considerably re duced, Consul General Gowdy says, there is no doubt that American coal would have a great future In France. . ATI OVAL CAPITAL NOTES.

Jane 1-1 nn Anniversary "Wlilcli Should lie Celebrated. New York Christian Advocate. Flae day comes so soon after Memorial day that it may not receive as much atten tion as if it occurred in another part of tlie year; but it was on June 14, 1777, that the American Congress resolved "That the flag of the thirteen United States De thirteen stripes." alternate red and white; that the Union be represented hy thirteen stars, white, in a blue held, representing a new constellation." Some time Flnce, when the frescoes of "Westminster, England, were cleaned it was an amusing thing that in a picture of the 1'ilgTim fathers, the good ship Mayflower was represented as flying the union jack, that lirst came into existence In ISoO. Ttvj explanation was that some years before this later cleaning, and when the old pictures wer cleaned and restored, the restorer "corrected" the flags bv painting in St. Patrick's red cross over the white St. Andrew's cross of Scotland. Our flag needs no resto ration and no cleaning. Some call tho stars and stripes "Old Glory," and a corre spondent objects to it, aJlirmlng that it is a name which the English for X) years have given to their own flag, and even as far back as ten years ago our flag was known by no such title, only by that of the stars and stripes; he thinks there can be nc better name than that. Many excellent things can be said in fa vor of the American flag and what it means. Foreigners of all nations and races can find something In it to praise even the Chinese, in view of the conduct of this Na tion toward them in the late troubles and pending ispues. Some time ago Mr. A. S. Solomon, speaking in the Baron De Hirsch KnglUh classes (which are for Jewish children who have not been here over six months), after seeing live hundred children taking part in the exercises (which in cluded a flag drill and a salute to the flag), bald to them: "This Is the only flag with one exception In the world that the Jew can live under without being compelled to perform acts not in accordance with his conscience."
