THINKS ADAM MAY HAVE BEEN BLACK
Scientists Disagree as to the Color of Our First Father.
Was Adam black? That is a question
•which has interested and ag-itated naar
ly all the scientists and anthropologists
of the world in some degree from long
before the days of Darwin and Huxley
down to the present time. It Is a ques
tion which Is being much and earnestly
discussed in the scientific world at pres
ent, a fresh start toward public interest
having been bestowed upon it by the at
titude of Prof. Arthur Thompson, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
This learned student and scientist, In
the first of a series of scientific articles
written for Knowledge and dealing with
"Anthropological Data," presents and
weighs much of the evidence usually
to bear upon both sides of the question.
To the untechnical and comparatively
untrained thinker the chances, after <li
eeßt,ingr the mass of suggestive but un
provable facts brought forward, seem
to lean just as strongly in favor of the
first man, using the term in the sense
of primeval man, having been red or
yellow as black or white. This conclu
sion, according to the theory of Alfred
Russell Wallace, which Prof. Thompson
quotes, is just as likely to be correct as
any other. There is, in fact, according
to the Wallace theory, fair probability
that primitive man was a Mongol, or
yellow man. When the high state of
civilization which existed among the
Chinese at even the most remote period
of time is considered and when It Is re
membered that the probable identity of
the earliest cave dwellers of England
and France with the Eskimos, who are
also Mongols, has been practically estab
lished, this theory loses much of the
seeming improbability which frequently
characterizes It at first sight. Prof.
Thompson, while willing to admit the
theory suggested, drops It at this point.
Certain Chicago scientists, however, are
inclined to go a little farther.
There are numbered among the scien
tific brotherhood in this city but two
anthropolog-ints of any more than local
standing-. One of these, Prof. Starr, of
the Chicago university, Is at present ab
sent upon a tour of investigation In Mex
ico, and his opinion of the complexion
and facial coloring of our first father
could not therefore be obtained. But Dr.
George Dorsey, anthropological curator
of the Columbian museum, was interro
gated as to the Adam question with the
following result:
"There can be no definite opinion given
on this matter," said Dr. Dorsey. "Ev
erything which can be said must be ut
tered from a purely speculative stand- |
point. But there are splendid grounds i
for the inference that primitive man, j
since no scientist recognizes the Biblical
'Adam' as a fact or even possibility, was
neither black nor white, but of a color
somewhere between red and yellow."
Dr. Dorsey. who regards the Mongol
ian theory as at best far from proved,
bases his opinion that primitive man i
was of this dusky copper shade on physl- i
ologlcal rather than climatic reasons.
"It seems to me." he declared, "that a
fertile field for investigation and ono i
which has never before been explored, I !
fancy, lies In the way of making a study ■
of the embryo anthropoid ape. I fancy I
that primitive man— remembering always I
that it is impossible, from a scientific !
point of view to conceive of any time
when man, as we know him, came into
existence at, so slow Is the course of
natural evolution— was of a color between
red and yellow, because those apes which
most nearly resemble man, a sort of
first cousins, as we might say, are usual
ly of this color. It is upon these grounds I
rather than upon any others that I base !
the opinion which I hold. No, I should '
hardly think it possible, or even prob- j
able that the so-called Adam was black, |
any more than I believe him to have been j
white as we are. As I said before, I think '
he was probably either red, yellow or I
tinted with a shade or tone somewhere i
between these two colors."
Frank G. Baker, curator of the Chi- I
cago Academy of Sciences, was more i
ready to think of the first man as of a i
dusky color.
"Much depends, of course," he declar
ed, "upon the location of the supposed '
garden of Eden. If It was situated, as j
IS generally supposed, somewhere In i
Asia, then Adam was probably black or !
at least dark. Hardly a perfect black, as
are the black races of today, perhaps,
but certainly dark in color. The only
possible way of determining such a ques
tion would be by obtaining the skull of
Adam or some of bla contomporarlo*.
THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, SLN)AY, MARCH 19, 1393.
Since such a course is manifestly impos
sible, I fear we shall have to rest content
a little longer with the question of
-Adam's complexion still unsettled.
"But I hardly think that Adam could
possibly have been white," he finished
by remarking, "so It is quite probable
that he may have been black. The facts
obtainable in the case would seem to
point much more toward the black col
oring than the white."
To pass from the scientific to the theo
logical view of the subject, the opinion
of G. A. Carey, pastor of the Qulnn
chapel of the African Methodist Episco
pal cnurch, was next solicited. Mr. Carey
smiled broadly when confronted by th?
question of whether or no the primitive
man was black in color.
"I really have not studied the question
much," he presently said, "although I
have read and listoned to lots of argu
ment and discussion on the subject I
have been told that Adam was red, yel
low, black, white and even blue. Bishop
Turner, of Atlanta, Ga., was the man who
made this last statement, I believe Per
sonally I should incline to the opinion
that Adam— for I accept the scriptural
Adam, although not, perhaps, Just in the
sense in which some people do— was very
dark but not black. Climatic influences
I believe, would bring this about. While
not as black as are the black races of
today, I think that the warm sun of
Asia, in which country I believe Eden to
have been situated, must certainly have
given Adam a warm color, Just as the
reeds and rushes gave stripes to the tiger
and the stumps and leaves of the autumn
forests give their color to the quails and
wood birds which hide among them. But
I have been more interested in the plan of
salvation and in trj ing to do my pas
toral and personal duty than in any other
matter connected with the Bible or man,
and as the question of Adam's color has
never seamed to me to affect either the
plan of salvation or my work to any ap
preciable degree I have not bothered my
self about it. Had I the time I should
go into anthropological study to a great
extent and depth, but I have not. I do
not think that it will ever be definitely
and satisfactorily proved whether Adam
was black, white, yellow, red or blue, and
for my own part I really don't think it
matters in the least what color he was."

MONEY FOR SAILOES.
Those Entitled to Extra Pay Have
Only to Aak for It.
WASHINGTON, March 18.— The navy
department wishes it known to all of the
volunteer sailors who served with such
credit during the late war and received
honorable discharges that it need not
cost them more than the price of a two
cent postage stamp to secure the gratuity
in the shape of extra pay which congress
alloted to them in the closing hours of
the last session. Very many applications
have been pouring in upon the navigation
bureau for lnforntation as to how the
men should proceed to collect their
money. In reply to these the following
circular letter is being sent out:
"Washington, D. C— Sir: Replying to
your letter requesting information con
cerning the extra pay allowed men and
officers of the volunteer navy by the last
congress for services rendered during the
war with Spain, I have to inform you
that your application should be addressed
to the auditor for the navy deuartment
treasury department, Washington, D. C
v cry respectfully,
—"A. S. Crownlnshield,
Chief Bureau."
These volunteer sailors are under act
of congress, entitled to one month's ex
tra pay in case they served within th«
United States and two months if they
served outside the United States. It
would be for the auditor to draw thie line
of inside and outside, but it Is said at
the navigation bureau that vessels which
served in the Cuban and Porto Rican
blockade and vessels which went to for
eign ports will be regarded as having been
outside the United States, while those
which plied up and down the coast will
be held to have been within the United
States, although, of course, outside the
three mile limit.
The men should first address their in
] quirles to the auditor above, who will
furnish the information as to the fur
ther procedure. This is likely to involve
later on the sending to Washington of
the discharge of the man and a statement
of the service rendered by him. The au
ditor will adjust all the claims and only
In case of doubt as to the actual service
rendered will the navy department be
consulted.

Against Emperor William's Policy
Made Daring: the Debate Dis

Treaty With America.
Copyright by the Associated Press.
BERLIN, March 18.— The unexpected
reichstag crisis, which has overshadow
ed everything this week, yjas brought
about by the fact that the relchstag,
Judging by the words and manner of
the minister of war, Gen. yon Gessler,
was lt-d to believe that the emperor and
bundesrath were satisfied by the military
bill as settled by the budget committee's
report, granting everything in the shape
of reorganization In artillery and cavalry,
and an Increase in the army peace foot
ing, except that only 7,000 men were
granted out of the 23,000 asked for. This,
however, 1b really not the case, bo far as
the emperor Is concerned, and It was
only after the minister of war sudden
ly announced that the report was con
sidered insufficient that it was discovered
his majesty insisted upon the passage
of the bill in its original shape, or else
the relchstag would be dissolved and new
elections ordered on this issue.
Those who are close to the emperor
have repeated his sayings on the subject,
which leave no room to doubt his
majesty's attitude. But he is virtually
alone in the stand taken, since a ma
jority of the bundesrath made it clear
to the Imperial chancellor, Prince Hohen
lohe, on Wednesday, that their govern
ments were satisfied with the bill in the
shape reported. They further declared
that a dissolution of the relchstag on
such a trifling matter seemed undesira
ble and injudicious. The bundesrath, be
ing constitutionally the final arbitrator
in the matter, the emperor risked being
discredited if he • carried out his inten
tion of dissolving the reichstag. It seem
ed clear that a new election would not
be favorable to the emperor's wishes. The
popular vote, representing the majority,
respecting the peace footing on Monday,
the vote standing 209 to 141, outnumbered
the votes rejecting other proposals by
almost 2 to 1.
The statements of, the leaders of th«
relchstag carried much weight, Dr. Lle
ber, spokesman of the Center party,
showing that within a few years, besides
the regular military appropriations, the
reichstag has voted 783,000i000 marks, and
that the peace strength of the army Is
much stronger than appears from the
bill, being really considerably over 600,
--000 men. This effective arraignment of
the insatiable military demands and the
statements of the other opposition lead
ers, made a considerable impression.
Herr Richter, the German Radical lead
er, said:
BOLD UTTERANCES.
"If the reichstag was now dissolved it
would not be because of this trifling re
duction in the military bill, but because
another relchstag is wanted— one which
will pass a reactionary anti-strike bill and
modify the election law, and its motto
would be 'autocrat, absolute government,
and destruction of the relchstag's inde
pendence.' "
This sally and similar Remarks, made by
another speaker, were vigorously ap
plauded by the whole j^^ht, and it was
easily determined that' the members of
this party were not eager to enter into
a new fight at the polls. Nevertheless it
was very hard to change the emperor's
mind, and it was only at the last moment,
before he started for Frlederichsruhe, to
attend the interment of the remains of
Prince and Princess Bismarck, two hours
before the discussion in the reichstag,
that he told the Imperial chancellor and
Count Posadowsky-Wehner, secretary of I
state for the interior, that he would con
tent himself with the reduction, and this
was only after it was shown to him that
by the additional resolution the govern
ment would be assured a few years hence
of what it contended for.
EMPEROR CHAGRINED.
Still the emperor felt that the reich
stag's action was a personal defeat, and
his mortification was correspondingly
great, for the Influence of the court mil
itary party for weeks has been strongly
exerted in the direction of the bill. The
triumphal shouts of the opposition when
it was learned that the emperor would
yield, and utterances of a like nature in
the opposition press, have helped to in
tensify his majesty's' mortification. It is
said that he feels dissatisfied with Prince
Hohenlohe, Gen. yon Gessler and Count
yon Posadowsky-Wehner for what is
considered to be the unskillful manner in
which the matter was manipulated in the
reichstag, and the lack of support of the
government in the press.
Before the decision of the reichstag was
arrived at the correspondent of the As
sociated Press heard a gentleman of the
emperor's surroundings say:
"This has been old Hohenlohe's Pyrr
hus victory. The emperor is tired of him,
and he will have to go at the first fitting
opportunity."
It is said that his majesty is further ir
ritated by the fact that the ultramon
tanes, though only one-third of the mi
nority, upon this occasion triumphed in
Protestant Germany over the Protestant
emperor. This also seems to be a most I
galling reflection in government circles,
especially as the ultramontane leader,
Dr. Lieber, spoke on Tuesday and Thurs
day In a defiant, challenging tone, and '
With the manner of a master of the situ- |
atlon.

bureau. The latter has collated official
figures dealing with both fiscal calendars
for the year 1898, and they both show an
enormous discrepancy compared with the
figures of Count yon Posadowsky-Weh
ner. The latter set forth that the excess
of imports of American goods compared
with the exports to the United States in
18S8 were 608,500, marks, the Imports be
ing 852,000,000 marks, and the exports 344,
--000,000 marks.
According to the United States treas
ury the American exports to Germany
during the last fiscal year were about
624,000,000 marks, while for the calendar
year they were 172,000,000 marks below
Count yon Posadowsky-Wehner's figures.
This enormous and unexplained discrep
ancy Is greatly hampering the negotia
tions for a commercial treaty, and al
most bars Mr. Porter's way for the "pres
ent.
Germany claims that the balance of
trade has lately been going, under the
Dingley law, too much the American way
to make a treaty under the existing con
ditions profitable to Germany. In proof
of this the German officials adduce the
alleged enormous American surplus of
1898. According to the American figures
the excess of American exports to Ger
many during the ten years, between 1889
and 1898, is only $115,000,000, or less than
the excess which Germany claims for
1898 alone.
COMPARISON OF EXPORTS.
During 1889-90-91 and 1893 Germany, ex
ported an excess to the United States,
while the annual average of America's
excess of exports to Germany for ten
years is only a little over $11^00,000, a
trifle in so enormous a trade, of which,
moreover, 2,240,000,000 marks were raw
material, copper, tobacco and petroleum
and cotton from the United States and
produced In Germany, whereof the lat
ter enriches the value of manufacturing-,
insuring that trade with the United
States a great source of profit to Ger
many Instead of a loss.
An American exporter has furnished
what seems to be a good explanation of
the above discrepancy. Count yon Poso
dowsky-Wehner's figures include among
the imports from the United States all
goods passing through Germany in tran
sit, which form a very large amount, but
Just how large cannot be stated precise
ly. The expert does not take into ac
count the fact that nearly the whole car
rying of exports from the United States
to Germany is done in German vessels,
the profits of which are also large. A
German expert showed these figures to a
British statesman, and the latter, after
carefully studying them, said:
"A magnificent showing for Germany.
It would be a magnificent showing for
any country."

BERLIN, March IS— Cecil Rhodes dur
ing his stay in Berlin furnished the Ger

tion regarding the proposed division of
the Portuguese colony of Mozambique.
Afler Portugal places her colonies on the
market, which will probably occur before
the year 1902, Germany will get the north
ern hair' of Portuguese East Africa, ex
tending south as far as the Zambesi
river. This territory will be added to
German East Africa. England will se
cure all south of the Zambesi river, which
will be added to the contiguous territories
of Natal and Mashonaland. Germany, by
this arrangement, will obtain the har
bors of QuPlmane and Mozambique, while
England will get the harbors of Belra and
Lorenzo Marquis.
This arrangement quite conforms to the
Anglo-Gorman entente of 1898. Mr.
Rhodes' plans In connection with the pro
posed partition were found to be thor
oughly matured and therefore available.

rode to where Dr. Cuneo made an address
to the Italians, advising them to surren

prisoners were brought to Lake City and
placed in jail. The arms taken from the
armory have not yet been delivered, but
the vice consul hopes to secure them
without much trouble.
WASHINGTON, March 18. — Marquis
Romano, the Italian charge d'affaires, re
ceived a dispatch today from Dr. Cuneo,
the Italian consul, now at Lake City,
Col., saying a satisfactory adjustment of
the disturbance has been reached. The
state department had previously request
ed the governor of Colorado to utilize the
good offices of Dr. Cuneo, whose post is
at Denver. His report today states that
the Italians assembled last nlsjht, and on
his advice submitted to arrest, thus ter
minating the opportunities for a clash.
The consul speaks In high terms of the
local authorities, and says they expressed
satisfaction with the course pursued. He
makes no mention of interrupted official
dispatches. As showing the agreeable
conditions Dr. Cuneo refers to his dining
with the gelieral of the state forcc-3 last
night. From his report the Italian offi
cials here consider the incident closed.

REGEiW IS TO RETIRE
EVENTS IN SPAIN AHE FAST HAST
ENING TO A DYNASTIC
• CRISIS
BOY KING'S THKONE TOTTEKS
Either the Bourbon* or a Republic
the Alternatives Before tbe Peo
ple—Supporters otf the Queen Are
Fast I.oninn Heart Disorders in
the Various Provinces an Omin
ous Sign of the Times.
MADRID, March 18.— Events in Spain
are rapidly working to a , dynastic crisis.
The queen regent fully realizes that she
cannot long continue to exercise the
authority she wields in behalf of her son,
the minor King- Alphonso. The feeling is
universal that the queen regent must re
tire. Speculation busies Itself over the
fate of the Bourbons. No one believes
that Spain will simply slough off one
line of monarchs and submit itself to an
other. In the general opinion the alterna
tive is Alfonso or a republic.
Senor Emilio Castelar, the Republican
leader, who for the last four months of
1873 was president of the short-lived Span
ish republic of that period, says he is con
vinced that the re-establishment of tbe
republic of Spain is close at hand.
Gen. Martinez Campos, who through
thick and thin has stood by the dynasty,
who declared a few months ago that his
sword was his king's for defense against
revolutionary attacks whatsoever, now
has almost abandoned hope for the dy
nasty. Premier Silvela also locks gloom
ily into the future.
The only candidate who has thus far
appeared for the regency t>> be laid down
by Maria Christina is Gen. Camilo Pola
vieja, minister of war. His candidacy,
however, awakens unanimous protest.
The favor in which he stands with the
queen regent has not served to endear
him to the people, who are agitated by
the complaints of the unpaid soldiers, now
almost on the point of revolt.
There is not a province of Spain where
discontent has not manifested itself with
in the last eight months. No sooner has
one section relapsed into silence than
another takes up the agitation of the
wrongs of the common people and the
soldiers. Curiously enough, it is now the
Balearic islands that are torn by revolu
tionary agitation, and throughout all the
peninsula the elections of April 30 must
inevitably be tumultuous.
