THE NEGRO sHOWS BUT LITThLE bls- POSITION TO PERPETUATE Hls TYPE BUT SHOWS A TENDENCY TO MARRY AMONG THE COLORED CLASS: What is the future of the Afro- Arderican? By the term Afro-Ameri can is meant all Negroes born in Amer ica and all other persons born in Amer ica who have more or less N-gro blood. Mr. Tiillman, during a discussion in the Conatitutional Convention in South Car olina, said that in that State there are a great many Afro-Americans having a sixteenth or less Negro blood, who live on terms of social equality with whom they alsc freely intermarry. OF course his statement 13 n» revelation to most of us for we all know that a gteat number of our Afro Americads are constantly vanishiig among the whites. In fact the vast majority of those who are suffi ciently removed from the colored type 1o excite no particular comment when apiong the whites are to be found there. They marry and rear families among the whites and gradually vanish. As in South Carolina, so in all other States, little is said against such marriages. The whites have little prejudice against a “tinted” Afro-American who has grown up among them and who mingles in their society. : There is another class of slightly col: orved persons who refuse to lose them selves among the whites, and who matry persons of about their own mixture and thus perpetuate the type referred to last week, There is still another elass which marries black and thus produces the brown or Negroid type now so com. monly seen. A careful review of these facts gives a hint, at least, what is to be the future so far as the typical Afro- American i 3 corcerned. The absence of any systematic data renders seientific conclusions impossible btit there dre many reasons to believe that the various tyjes of Afro-Americans will -continue to intermarry, and that in one way or the other, there will continually be pro duced issue resalting from the coming together of whites and Afro- Amerirans. There are also reasons to believe that the white blood already mixed with Ne gro blood, and that which will continue to be mixed will at last produes an en tirely new type. 'Lhere is no great im thigration of Negroes, and therefore there is o way to preserve the pure Ne gro type, The Negro shows very little dispositien to perp tuate bis lype, but does show a dccided tendency to marry among the cclored class, This is why the Negro is #) rapidly disappearing and the Negroid type incteasing. . The same thing would happen in the case of the Afro-American as happens in the case of all other races which comes to America were it not for social preju dice. The whites refuse to regard the ‘Negro and colored p:ople as social cquals, This disposition is entirely due to the fact that the whites know that among social equals intermarringes are c.rtain to (ake place. in ordet that the white womwan may not love the Afro. A uerican, the white men studiously deé gr:des bim He is forced to Jim Crow curs, cte., and is thips pendaigd, ““Wiile wen know that if Afro-American men could mingle freely in society that their color would be forgotten and their per sounal qualities would be recognized. Were this the case there would be as many white women succumb to the charms of Afro-American men as there are white men whn fall in love with Afro. American women. Itis well-nown that apart Jseaahe purely vicious intercourse of i ’i there are hundreds of while mén Wwho love their Afro-Amerizan mish 35 g bet ter thau they do their wivess NS Was shwn in South Carolina wheh she gal lant Mr. Smalls put the tesfe -88 0 The fixed intention of the Semthero whites is to presetve such socisl condi tions as will forever keep t e ggpq rate, To this it has been freguently ob jected, «“two races, socially @distinct can not live barmoniously side by si.le under the same government.” Many who have uttered this cry felt back of it a desire to advocate social equality, but none have the courage to gpeak out, Others who have raised this objection, togetber with many who have felt its force, have sought to anticipate troubte by advocating *‘African Emi gration.” Thus they hope to so reducy the number of Afro-Americans as to make the future safe.

THE ALASKA GOLD FIELDS, General Duffield Says They Are United States Territory, ' The report of the joint commissioners appointed under the convention made fin 1892 between Great Britain and the United Btates for the survey of the territory of the United States and Canada, adjacentto the boundary line dividing Alaska and Canada, will be made in the course of the next three months. In some respeets a more interesting prob lem, which General Duffield, chief of the geodetic and coast survey is now at work on, is the determination of the points at which the one hundred and forty-first degree of longitude, (the eastern boundary of Alaska) crosses the Forty-Mile creek and the Yukon river, as the boundary may in volve the ownership of some of the old prop ertics now developing there, Oglesvie, a British officer, determined these points as tronomically in 1889. By his observations the one hundred and forty-jirst parallel crossed Forty-Mile ereek eight and three-quarter miles from the mouth, or junetion with-the Yukon river, and left the bend of the latter river in Canadian territory. His line, how ever, was fixed entirely hy astromical obser vation. General Duffield’s line will also be made from astromical ohservations, but he has other data which Oglesvie did not have with which to check pessible errors. The latitude and longitude of Camp Davidson, upon the Yukon has been absolutely fixed from a long series of ¢hservations. From It;mt point the country hag been triangulated $0 the Yukon and a transyerse line has been run all the way to the head of Forty-Mile grecl. This work has hebn in progress since 80, and the final caleuldtions will be com eted in about three weeks. eneral Duffield doeshot expect the line vary very much from Oglesvie, and from information he has he gives it as his pion that all of the gopd properties of the ‘@WXon and Forty-Mile creek are within the jurisdiction of the Uni tates. So far as “he has been informed! e report of the " Governor of Alaska a ith the informa ticn, all the gold dise es have been to the west of a line drawn fom Cape Barrow to the extreme Southernfoint of Alaska, all of which is in the Uniteff States territory.
