CHICAGO, Nov. 27.— The efforts of
the negroes of Chicago to prevent

here tonight In Orchestra hall, because
of the position' he has assumed toward

When the South Carolina senator ar
rived in Chicago early in the afternoon,
lie was told of threats of injunction
proceedings to prevent his appearing
on the speaker's platform tonight, and
of « money consideration that had been
offered If he would cancel his engage

strenuous objections- to ! Senator Til 1 -

platform. ■ - • ", .
Police in Reserve
Senator Tlllman gave his address
protected by a guard of detectives. In
anticipation of trouble, a number of
policemen were kept in nearby stations
in renorve, but they, were not called
for. Six colored policemen mingled
with the crowd of blacks and whites
that blocked the street in front of tin
hall; to arrest any who made a dis
turbance.
in the audience were many negroes,
but they listened to Senator Tillma;i's
remarks good, naturedly and although
bc was Interrupted many., times by
those .who . wished to ask questions,
the meeting passed off without trouble.
ln leading up to his address, "Shall
the United States Annex Cuba?" Mr.
Tillman took occasion \to criticise
Mayor Dunne's action 111 refusing to
preside at the meeting.
"I" I have been told that 1 have been
snubbed by tho mayor of the city,"
said the senator. ... .. . ■ -V.- •:,':. ;.-.-.-:•'
"1" 1 never, saw. Mayor Dunne in my
life. I did not ask him to be here to
night to introduce mo to this audience,
nor did I ask any one else to do so.

'If any one has been 'snubbed It is
these gracious ladies who planned this
meeting to secure money for the Chl
cogo Union hospital, who requested
Mayor Dunne, the creature of a politi
cal hour, to come forward and add his
mite.
"I" I have been advertised to discuss
the annexation of Cuba," continued Mr.
Tillman "but. In view of the fact that
I could not discuss this subject with
out discussing the race question I am
going to go at the matter hammer and
tongs, straightforward, like, a man.
Therefore I shall discuss the race prob
lem pure and simple, from an American
standpoint and not from a Cuban
standpoint. -
"Owing to my experience with the
question and the diligent study i have
made of it. I believe I am better quali
fied to discuss this question than any
other man in America. I am going to
base my appeal on facts, not on the

a white man had, he was Interrupted

Finally Mr. Tlllman seemed to lose his
temper and exclaimed:
"Oh. shut , your .mouth! You don't
know the A B C of this, thing. I for

ever knew."
Six State! in Danger '
"You make up your minds that

CABINET HEARS
METCALF REPORT
"SAN FRANCISCANS ACTED IN
THEIR RIGHTS''
Though the President Has Not Made
Findings Public, Their Tenor Is
Understood — Adjustment
Is Looked For
By Associated P»e?s.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.— President
Roosevelt has a long conference with
Secretary Metcalf at the White House
tonight regarding the alleged discrim
ination against the Japanese residents
in San Francisco.
Morn than a month ago, when the
agitation affecting the alleged discrim
ination against the Japanese in San
Francisco was at its height, the presi
dent sent Mr. Metealf to that, city to
make a thorough and exhaustive inves
tigation with a view to learning at
first band the exact condition of affairs.
It wan charged that the alleged dis
crimination consisted, among other
things, of denying the Japanese equal
school privileges with the whites and
that there had been threats and overt
acts against the Japanese merchants.
Mr. Metealf's report Ib now ready
and was considered very fully by the
president tonight.
The secretary has uniformly de
clined to discuss with the newspapers
any of the conclusions he has reached.
but it has been generally understood
that it would show that the people of
San Francisco maintained that what
they did about school accommodations
was entirely within their rights and
that the case was one of local adminis
tration.
Whether the presidenl will make the
report public has not been determined.
He will give it full consideration before
taking any step.
He lias expressed hope that all cause
for complaint on the part of Japanese
be removed and has slated that ho will
do his utmost to bring about a satis
factory settlement.

railroad officials— in the distribution of
the $70,000 graft money will be arrested
and prosecuted.
More arrests nrc to follow those of
Cameron and Martin, It Is said, and in
each case the charge will be bribery.
All Under Surveillance
Forty members of select council and
twenty-five members of common coun
cil are said to be. implicated In the.
conspiracy. The police have the names

cording to the evidence, said to have
been gathered by the police and now In

councllnjen were to act favorably on
Tube City railroad.
The railroad was to distribute $70,000.
Of this sum $40,000 whs to have been
given to three other eouncllnien, wlm

Suit Reveals Bribery
The position taken by C. R. Richard
son, who entered the first suit against
Cameron and Martin for conspiracy,
was that of a broker. Richardson has
made a statement to the police alleg
ing that he loaned Cameron $70,000 at
the legal rate of interest. Cameron was
to deposit the money in the bank after
showing it to a committee of eouncll
men. The money disappeared myster
iously and Richardson, believing a con
spiracy was on to beat him out of the
money, entered suit.
Richardson's action disclosed several
suspicious details, and the case was
taken up by Mayor Guthrie, with the
result that evidence has been gathered,
i». is said, revealing to the polioe one of
the most gigantic councilmanic bribery
scandals ever known In Plttsburg.
John 8. Itobb Jr., assistant district
attorney, arrived from the cast, today
on a summons of Dish-let Attorne\
Stewart. It is possible that a special
session of the grand jury will be called
to investigate the scandal.
