NEGROES RESENT INSULT TO RACE Commissioner Wright Denounces the 90,000 Colored Residents of Washington, D. C CUSSED THEM WITH CRIMINALS President of the Distr ct of Columbia Commission Declares They Are “Worse Than Safe Crackers.” A diepatch to the Herald from Wash ington says: Representative colored men like Judaon W. Lyons, registrar of the United States treasury; Henry P Cheatham, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, and former Sen ator P. P. S. Pinchbaok, of Louisiana, now of Washington, as well as thou sands more or lees prominent, are go ing to take steps to ascertain if it is true that the 90,000 ooiored residents of the District of Columbia equal the criminal cooditiona of any oity and place, setting no value on human life whatever. P rbnps if tbe assertion of such a state of affa'Tß bad been made by some Irresponsible, vindicitive raoe I n'er it would have been permitted to pass, but w ben it is made by Jobn B. Wight, president of the board of commission era of tbe Distriot of Columbia, a re jyihJuyuui-1 A Washington, it is regarded as lbe most stinging insult tbe raoe has ever deceived. This declaration is con tained io tbe printed report just is sued on the bearing on the Distriot of Columbia Appropriation bill, held by tbe sub-committee of the Commit'ee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives, which oonsisted of Messrs. Oroa f , Bingham, McClesry, Allen and Benton. MAM BY A COM MISSION KB. The district commissioners and sev eral other local officials were present, eiplain ng the various Hems in the estimates submitted to the committee to enable them to frame the appropri ation bill. The subject of the metro poli'an police was under considera tion on February 20, and in the course of bis remarks Commissioner Wight, according to the printed report, used this remarkable language: “I eay it with all kindness, but X state it as a fao’, that the 00,000 col ored people here are equal totbe crim inal conditions in any oi'.y. They re gard life as of no value whatever.” “But they are not safe crackers,” exclaimed Mr, Urout. “They ara worre,” answered Mr. Wight. Major Richr,d Sylvester, chief of police of the district, interrupted with the remark: ‘/We had eighteen mur ders here last year. We captured some of the most notorious criminals in the United States in the J) strict of Columbia. We had 25,000 arrests.” “And to hindle these 90,000 colored people, with the Irish and the Italians and the other classes that are here in considerable numbers, speaks well, I think, fur the police department,”said Mr. Wight.

There are many dispatches from the southern half of tbe Free State but it is difficult to get a clear idea of the situation. The correspond ents have a confirmed habit of over stating tbe Boer force whenever any thing goes wrong. The estimates of the Boer strength in the Thaba Nobu, Lady brand and Wepener districts are grossly ex iggerated and the import ance of the Du'ob Hanking m,vtiient is overrated, as was done when Sir Kedvers Buler’a army was broken up into three sections by a t-mall force of raiders below Jiatcotirt. “The sensatioual rumors of tbe gen eral concentration of the Boer com- mandos south and east of HI emfon tein are, from the British point of view, too good to be true. Nuthitig would suit Cord Roberts’ plan so ad mirably as the massing of the Dutch forces where thoy could be overwhelm-, ed with superior numbers before the British line of communications to be guarded should be lengthened, ttrst to the Vaal and thence to Pretoria. The moral effect of the return of the Boers to the central reaches of the Free State is mixed. Recruits are gamed and farmers are and this makes for the advantage of the Boers, but supplies are taken without b. ing paid for and houses and farms are looted and these losses lend to recon cile the burghers to British occupa tion. “The inaction of Sir Redvers Bul let’s army continues and on the west ern flank there is nothing more impor tant than sniping ami Bhellirig be tween Warrenton arid Fourteen .Streams. “Sir Henry Run le is reported as or der orders for Kimberly and this may be the signal for a movement of the eighth division, now arriving at Cape [Town, toward Mafeking, hut this is SIX PAGES Glassware, Tumblers, Goblets, Pitchers, BRUNSWICK BOOK COMPANY mit detloitely announced.
