HI NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
Union League Club ol New York
to Take Radical Steps.
Will Ask Congress to Reduce Repre
sentation of Southern States The
Club Had Test Case a Year Ago
.When It Voted to Keep Negro Ser
vants by a Vote of 3 to 1.
New I'orkt April 9. The members
of the Union League club of this city
will take radical steps, it is said, favor-
hg negro suffrage In the south at their
April meeting, which occurs to-night.
in a word, congress will be appealed
to deal with the question along the line
of a radical reduction of representation
of the southern states in congress.
It is Just about a year ago that the
Union League club was divided on the
question of discharging negro attend
ants. The negro servants were kept
by a vote of 3 to 1 after a stormy ses
sion. The report of the club committee on
political reform which is expected to
precede the action favoring negro suff
rage, will, it is believed, create a con-
uision in the southern states, After
reciting that certain southern .states
i j. , j - a . . i ii
nave innen steps to circumvent nation
al legislation giving suffrage to negroes
the-report recommends that congress
be asked to take up the question with
out a moment's delay.
It recommends also that .this body be
asked to "cut down southern representa
tion, and that a large sum of money be
appropriated to test the validity of the
recently adopted constitutions t in Ala
bama, Virginia and other states of the
south. . '
The ablest counsel in ' the country
will be employed to prepare and argue
these test cases regarding the consti
tutions mentioned. In addition to the
sums appropriated it is proposed to
ask the individual members of the club
to contribute.
One v of the prime movers in this
movement is said fc be former secre
tary of the interior Cornelius N. Bliss.
The club is expected to adopt reso-
utlons following the adoption of the
committee's report. Ten thousand
copies of these resolutions will be cir
culated to state senators to prominent
chruchmen and those in' authority ev
erywhere. . .
President Roosevelt was president of
the club in 1899. He is still prominent
in its' councils. -
A MISUNDERSTANDING.
Waahinirton Authorities Correct Clil
neie Bond Storlea. t ..
WASHINGTON, April .Evidently
considerable mlaunderstandlngf contin
ues regarding the bonds "which China is
to execute to' the United ' States In pay
ment of the Indemnity for the Boxer
outrages provided- in the protocol of
April , 1900. The statement from Pe
king that the American financial agent
ender instructions from the state de
partment is substituting a bond pro
viding for the payment of the indem
nity in gold dollars in place of a silver
bond , is denied in authoritative quar
ters. ', ' , ' '
Pur government is disposed to take
Its own view of the interpretation , of
the terms of the protocol. This provid
ed that China should execute to the
United States an indemnity bond at the
rate of exchange provided in the pro
tocol, and it was also provided that the
installments of the indemnity payable
thereafter should be at the rate of ex
change existing1 when these payments
fell due. If the United States, desiring
not to avail itself of the loss which
China should suffer in these payments
as a result of the depreciation in silver,
prefers to demand them at the rate of
exchange existing when the protocol
was signed, that, it is held, is a matter
which concerns us alone and leaves the
other powers to do as they please.
The instructions of the department of
state to Its representative in China who
Is conducting the negotiations relative
to the settlement of the indemnity look
to the retention of independence while
faithfully carrj!J"ut the engage
ments entered Into by the United States
(n the Peking settlement.
Mitchell Looked to For Settlement.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., April 9.-JThe
reports sent out concerning a general
feeling of unrest among the mine
workers in many cases are exagger
ated. In this valley there Is some lit
tie dissatisfaction at a few of the col
lieries, but what there is, it is believed,
can be readily remedied upon the ar
rival of John Mitchell, president ef the
United Mine Workers, who is expected
to reach here some time during next
week. Many officials of the various
coal companies admit that there Is
some dissatisfaction among their em
ployees, but contend that this is due to
misinterpretation of the mine commls
sion's award. The companies in gen
eral stand ready to adhere to all the
stipulations and provisions of the
award.
A Turbine Propelled Warihlp,
WASHINGTON, April 9. Admiral
Melville, engineer in chief of the navy,
has a surprise in store for sailors
which perhaps will be as revolutionary
In its effect on naval construction as
was his famous triple screw. For more
than a year past his bureau has been
making quiet inquiries and preparing
plans for a turbine propelled warship
The best experts have been consulted
and the plans have been advanced to a
point where it is thought satisfactory
results are assured. Details of the nov
el arrangements of this ship are with
held for the present, but it is expected
that they soon will be made public.

Courts Fullest Investigation of
Red Cross Affairs.
Says Congress Is Welcome to Probe
Organization Since Her Connection
With It Miss Barton Is in Good
Health, But Worried by Trouble
"Malcontents' 'Have Made.
New York, April 9. Miss Clara Bar
ton, president of the American Nation
al Red Cross, in answer to what her
associates say she considers the
threats of the opposition to her admin
istration, is said to court the fullest in
vestigation by congress of the affairs
of the organization from her first con
nection with it.
Miss Mabel T. Boardman, one of the
active members of the Washington op
position, says she was suspended with
out a hearing, and cites Bishop rotter,
Spencer Trask and Robert O. Ogden
as advocating a reorganization of the
Red Cross to regain the confidence of
the public.
Speaking for Miss Barton, her per
sonal representative says that she is
in excellent health, but much worried
over an the trouoie me wasnington
'malcontents" nave made for her re
cently. ' ;
As for a congressional investiga
tion," Miss Barton's representative
adds, "Miss Barton neither fears nor
opposes it. She would rather welcome
as the practical manner of having
the Washington minority show what
they mean by all assertions of malad
ministration and wasteful management
they have been making, but for which,
In spite of repeated requests, they have
never yet onered a aennite, aetsuieu
charge."
