The class of immigrants lauded at Charleston will soon eliminate the negro from the occupations to which 1 have referred. It will give us an infusion of high grade skilled labor including technical talent, into tlie various industries, and will thereby elevate these occupations to a higher ctlicietiy and enable us to more nearly compete with other sections of the country. "The South hds long been handicapped by the absence of skilled, intelligent labor, and It will not be long un'til this handicap is removed. It is the b« glnnig, also of a new era In agriculture, for It brings to us Intelligent farmers who will take up and cultivate small tracts of land t<» the best, advantage. It will, in a very few years, eliminate the negro political problem and the South will have no more scenes of violence from that cause." WASHINGTON. Nov. 28.—The recent. arrival at Charleston. S. C., of a i salp carrying more than 1.000 Immigrants, marks a new era for the South. The labor problem has been a very serious one. there and the attention of the people of that section has been for some time directed toward inducing immigration. Not alone as laborersr were Immigrants wanted, but hundreds of thousands of tll- Inble acres have been left uncultlavte—acres where climate and soil combine to make it one of the richest. agricultural sections of the world —because of the lack of good hus- J band men. Aroused to tiie fact that immigrants were wanted to make the South what it ought to be organizations were formed for the purpose of pro- i I moting immigration. At first it was sought to turn southward a fair per- i centage of those landing In New York, but success in that direction was limited. Some months ago agents were , nt into other countries, to lay be- J ! fore the people the attractions of tin j i South. To this work Is due the re- j cent arrival at Charleston and the i work thus begun is being watched here with great interest. Commissioner General Sargent, who was at Charleston when the shii i arrived from Bremen pronounces its cargo of human freight as a ship- ! load of the best immigrants that has j como under his notice since he has! been In office. They are a thrifty ] Industrious, sober and intelllgont I people seking homes. .Many of them j are weavers, and will materially aid In developing the cotton industries of! the South. Others are farmers, and ; will seek land to cultivate, and still i others are mechanics—all willing to work. Commissioner Sargent says j they will sodn assimilate American- I ism. and become most excellent cltl- I zens.

A suspicious looking object was found upon him, and the police were investigating it, thinking it might be a bomb. In leading up to his address, "Shall the United States Annex Cuba," Mr. Tillman took occasion to criticise Mayor Dunne's action In refusing to preside at the meeting. "I have been told that I have been snubbed by the mayor of this city," said the senator. "1 did not ask Mayer Dunne to be here If any one has been snubbed it is the gracious ladles, who planned this meeting to secure money for the Chicago Union hospital and who requested Mayor Dunne, the creature of a political power, to come forward and address his mite. "I have been advertised to discuss the annexation of Cuba," continued Mr. Tillman, "but in view of the fact that 1 could not discuss that subject without discussing the race question I am going to go at the matter hummer and tongs. Therefore 1 shall discuss the race problem, 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 1 am better qualified to discuss this question than any othe rman In America." While discussing the fifteenth amendment to the constitution, which he declared gave the negro every right that a white man he was interrupted several times by one of his listeners who kept asking: "How about Kentucky?" Finally Mr. Tillman seemed to lost* his temper and exclaimed, "Oh. shut your mouth. You don't know the A 11 C of this thing. 1 forgot 40 years ago more than you over knew. "You make up your minds that equality between the law which the fifteenth amendment guarantees is right and should be enforced notwithstanding its result. If this law was enforced it would result In two States at least being dominated absolutely by negroes, while four other tHates would be so near being governed by the negro that there would practically bo an equal division of officers." A voice: "How about the law?" Senator Tillman: "The law? To hell with such law?" tiniH'd ,ils work of guarding the un- CHICAGO, Nov. L'7.—"I'll say Just what 1 want to." Thus Senator Hon TUInian introduced himself to the reception delegation from the Chicago Union Hosplta, whi'n ho arrived in Chicago yesterday afternoon. The declaration was a sharply spoken retort to a whispered plea of Mrs. Allele J. Keeler to refrain from giving advance information on the topic he would discuss at Orchestra Hall. .Mrs. Keeler feared the colored leader would got out an injunction if the Hcnator said a word yesterday afternoon which could be construed as creating a disturbance of the public peace at the meeting. The Senator made his speech, as announced, however, and was a bitter as ever In his utterances against the colored race. There was but one slight disturbance in the hall. Senator Tillman posed for a photograph on tin- sidewalk and then steppod into a waiting automobile. As he did so. a phonograph concealed in the automobile struck up "Dixie." The doughty South Carolinian doffed his hat and the crowd cheered.
