r Iervu8 JDBE CAUCASIAN, VOL. XX III. GREAT SPEECH By President Roosevelt to the Students at Tuskecgee GAVE MUCH GOOD ADVICE In H:k Address He Urges the Impor tance of Good Negro Citizenship and Points Oat Economic Oppor tunities in the South. T f.; --'cv, Ala., Social President K. - s. v' H visited the Institute presid ed v i- by Booker T. Washington lo ,a:: n Tuesday and reviewed !,. :icK-nt body. He took great in- u-n.-t m the work exhibited by the mm .. vnn also made an address to tin' t :i'l':its and faculty, and all those n ..,. gathered to do him honor. ; !. 10 beginning his speech the T : I' iit oaid be had no idea that he ..,;;.! be so deeply impressed and so (. - j !y pleased as he had been. "While 1 Luc always stood for this institu- : L- continued, "now that I have -n i: and realize as 1 had never ! -dizi-d by the descriptions of it, all it .uk, 1 will stand for it more than i i v. The President's Address. To ti.e white- population as well as t - ihe black it is of the utmost im portance that the negro be eneour- !o make hirnso?f a citizen of the l:ivhi-ft type of usefulness. It is to !h- interest of the white iooplo that (his iH.licy be conscientiously pusued m .I to the interest of the colored peo ple ilutt they clearly reaiue that they h:i,- cpportimitics for economic de vrlnj.men here in the South not now nuVn-d !sewhere. Within the last Jwtnty years the industrial oiierations i the South have iiierased so tre utendously that there is a scarcity of labor almost everywhere; so that it is the part of wisdom for all who wish the prosperity of the South to help the negro to become in the highest decree useful to himself, and there lore to the community in which he lives. The South has always depend ed, and now depends, chic'ly upon .her native population fov her work. Therefore in view of the scarcity not only of common labor, but of skiled labor, it becomes doubly important to train every available man to be of the utmost use, by developing his intelli gence, his skill and his capacity for conscientious effort. lienee the work of Tuskeeircc Normal and Industrial Institute is a matter of ihe highest practical importance to both the white and the black man, and well worth the '.pjiort of both races alike in ihe South and in the North. Your fifteen hundred students are not only being educated in the head and heart, but ri.-o trained to industrial eraeieney; for from the beginning: Tuskecgee has placed especial emphasis upon the training of men and women in rrgiicvdtnre, mechanics and house hold duties. Training in these three fundamental directions docs not em brace al that the negro or any other race needs, but it does cover in a very large degree the field in which the negro can it present do most for him self and be most helpful to his white rcighbors. Every black man who leaves this institute better able to do mechanical or industrial work, adds by so much to the wealth of the whole community and bcnelits all peo ple in the community. The profes sional and mercantile avenues to suc cess are overcrowded, for the present the best chance of success awaits the inttligent worker at some mechanical trade or on a farm; for this man will almost certainly aehieve industrial in dependence. I am pleased, but not in the least surprised to learn that many among the men and woneu trai"ed at Tuskeegee And immediate employment as leaders and workers anions their own people, and that their services are eagerly sought by white people for various kinds of industrial work, the demand being much greater than the supply. Viewed from any angle, ig norance is ihe eostilcst crop that can be raised in any . part of this Lmon Even- dollar put into the education of citther white man or black man, in head, in hand and in the heart, yields rich devidends to the entire commun ty. Merely from the economic stand point it is of the utmost consequence to all our citizens that ins'Uutrms such as Tuskeegee should be a suc cess. But there are other and even higher reasons that entitle it to our support. "In the, interest, of humanity, of justice, and pf self-protection, ev ery white man in America, no matter where he lives, should try to help the negro to help himself. It is the in terest an for the protection of the white man to see that the negro is educated. It is not only the duty of the white man, but it is to his in terest, to see that the negro is pro tected in property, in life, and in all his legal rights. Every time law is broken every individual in the com munity has the moral tone of his life lowered. Lawlessness in the United States is not confined to ny section; lynching is not confined to any sec tion; and there is perhaps no body of American citizens who have deserved so well of the entire American people as the public men, the publicists,-the ckrgyinen, the countless thousands of , high-minded private eili&n who have doi, such heroic work in the South in arousing public opinion asain&t law lessness in all ills forms, and especial ly ."gainst their esau.pU Tmt in he North as well as in the outh, for there arc just as great evils to be waned against in one region of our country as :n another, though they are not in all places the same'evils. And when any Wy of men in any com munity stands bravely for what is right, those men not merely serve a useful paqtso in doing the panic ilar task to which they set themselves but give i lift It. the cause of good citizenship throughout the Union. 1 heartily appreciate what you have done at Tuskeegee; and I am sure vou will not grudge my saying that it could not possibly have been done save for the loyal support you have received from the white people round about; for during the 25 years of ef fort to. educate the black man here in the midst of a white community of in telligence and culture, there has never been an outbreak between the races or uiy difficulty of any kind. AH honor is due to the white men of -Alabama, to tho while men of Tuskeegee for what they have done. And right here, lei me say that if in any community a misunderstanding between the races arises, over any matter, infinitely the bet way mit is to have a prompt, frank and full conference and' con sultation between representatives of the wise, decent, cool-headed men among the whites and the wise, decent, cool-headed colored men. Such a con ference Avill always tend to bring about a better understanding, and will b- a great help all around. Hitherto 1 have spoken chie.1v of the obligation existing on the part of tb'? white man. Now let you remem ber on the other hand that no help ean permanently avail you save as you yourselves develop capacity for self help. You young colored men and women educated at Tuskeegee must by precept and example lead your fel lows toward sober, industrious, law abiding lives. You are in honor bound lo join hands in favor of law and order and to war against all crime, especially against all crime of men of your own race; for the heaviest wrong done by the criminal is the wrong to his own race. You must teach the people of your race that they must scrupulously bserve any contract into which they in good faith enter, no matter wheth er it is hard to keep or not. If you save money, secure homes, become tax payers and lead clean decent modest lives, you will wi nthe respect of your neighbors of both races. Let each man strive to excel his fellows only by rendering substantial service to the community in which he lives. The col ored people have many difficulties to pass through, but these difficulties will be surmounted if only the policy of reason and common sense is pursued. Vou have made real and great pro gress. According to the census the colored people of ihis country own and pay taxes upon something like three hundred million dollars worth of property, and have blotted out over fifty per cent of their illiteracy. When you have done in the past is an indica tion of what you will be able to do in the future under wise leadership Moral and industrial education is what is most needed, in order that this progress many continue. The race cannot expect to get everything at once. It must learn to wait and bide its time; to prove itself worthy by showing its possession of perse verance, of thrift, of self control. The destiny of the race is chiefly in its own hands, and must be worked oui patiently and persistently along thest lines. Remember also that the whit man who can be of most use to the colored man is that colored man's neighbor. It is the Southern people themselves who must and can solve the difficulties that exist in the South ; of course what man in the South lie? in his steady hope of advancemeni for the colored eommonsense effort to improve his moral and material condition and to work in harmony with the white man in upbuilding tb commonwealth. The future of the South now depends upon the peoph of both races living up to the spirit and letter of the laws of their sev eral States and working out the des tinies of both races, not as races, but as law abiding", American citizens.

POOR RUSSIA Suffering Now From Terrible Internal Affairs REVOLUTION IN PROGRESS Czar Cowers in His Palace and Does Nothing to Meet the Storm, His Weakness Communicating Itself to the Whole Government, While the Revolutionist Are Dominat ing the Situation More and More. St. Petersburg, By Cable. While the day passed quietly, without blood shed in the Russian capital, and while the city is outwardly calm, the developments all indicate that a crisis is imminent, although the streets are filled with troos, and renfricments are now putting in from Finland, the government seems utterly powerless to cope with the situation ami many calm observers seem seriously to be lieve that the present regime is Totter ing to its fall. Differences have developed be tween Count Witte and Gen. Trepoff, and while the precious moments pass the Emperor, surrounded by the Im perial family, remains shut up at Peterhoff, seemingly still J-esi'.ating as to what course to pursue . Grave doubt's are expressed as to whether even the imperial guards can now be relied upon. . Discontent is rife. Early Sunday rnornins.' the Fourteenth and Eighteenth Equip page of sailors of the guard, who have been shut up like prisoners in bar racks, on the Moska Canal, demolish ed the windows and furniture and in the afternoon a detachment consisting of four officers of the guard went to the lawyer's assembly, and toid the barristers that many officers and a large part of the troops were disgust ed with the government, and ready to enlist in the movement for freedom. They asked for aid towards effecting organization and said they had dis cussed among themselves the ques tions of resigning, but decided to show that people in uniform could help to achieve liberties. Even the Cossack patrols, in keening idlers moving in the streets, seemed. careful not lo use their whips, and simply drove the crowds along before their advancing horses. A meeting of the xmmcipal council was held Sunday evening" at which the strikers' committee appeared. In an impassioned speeeh the leader of the deputation presented the follow ing demands of the workmen and affiliated organizations: First, A constitution and political liberty. Second, That the city famish food to the workmen. Third, That the city refuse further supplies to the troops and the police. Fourth, That the troops be moved from the water works or otherwise the strikers would cut the water sup ply. Fifth, The immunity of the deputa tion from arrest. The council granted the last de mand and promised to reply to the other demands. The council sent re quests to both General Trepoff and Minister of the Interior Bouligiu not to arrest members of the deputation but the police nevertheless took them into custody. Upon urgent represen tations. General Trepolf an hour later released them. Roll and Panell Factory. High Point, Special. Another new factory has been launched here to manufacture roll and panel work and is promoted by Messrs. J. P. and D. S. Hayworth. Work on the building will begin at once.

"' WORK AT WHITNEY Largest Power Development in the South, Aand Second Largest in the Sjweial. One of the most remarkable transaction that this country ha ever witnetl is now in progress at this nint, the cause being the enormous dam the T. A. Gille pb Company is const nu t ing for the Whitney Company. Whitney is a new town building as fast as it can to accomodate the hands now employed but it cannot keep up to the require ments, because the requirement move away from it. The Whitney Compiny, headed by Geo. 1. Whitney, if PitUburg, Penu has given the Gillespie Company, of Pittsburg and New York, a contract amounting to approximately two and a half million dollars, which is one of the biggest contracts ever awarded for development purjjoses in the South. This contract includes the construction of a dam across the Yad-. kin river at the falls here, and a canal some four miles long to carry the wat er from the dam to set of steel pen stocks that will direct the water a gainst a battery of turbine water wheels, to develop 50,000 horse-jxiwer. The (iillespie Company has the work well under awy, employing for the prosecution of the job 11 locomo tives to handle the material, and near ly six miles of trackage to include all points ou the job. The dam will reach across the river at a point where it is 1,300 feet wide. At the base the dam will be a substantial granite wall sixty feet thick, the granite com ing from the Whitney Company t quarries up near Salisbury. It will stand fifty feet high from the foun dation, tbe top rising 40 feet abovt low water in the river. To build this gigantic structure will require the placing of 125,000 cubic yards of ma sonry, involving the use of 200,0)0 barrels of Portland cement and lnnulreds of train loads of sand and granite. The whole structure will be a solid wall of concrete and nibble work backed and faced by a Avail of cut granite blocks several feet thick. When the dam is finished it will raise a head of water sufficient to give a fall at the foot of the rapids of l.'JO 'eet. or almost as much as is available at the great cataract of Niagra. An Act of Bravery. Concord, Special. Reports come from Mount Pleasant of an heroic action which should commend the ac tor to the Carnegie hero metal com mittee. A few days ago several men were at the bottom of a large well at work. A bucket was being let down to them in which were six loaded dynamites, which would have ex ploded on the slightest jar. By some means the rope slipped ard the heavy bucket fell to the bottom and all thought this meant sure death to the men below. But Mr. Ernest Faggart, one of the men in the well, saw the falling bucket and with great bravery caught it and thereby saved the lives of all below. He was bruised consid erable but was not seriouslv hurt. Fire in Charlotte. Charlotte, Special. Fire which started in Cochrane 's livery stable in North College street at 2.10 o'ecck Wednesday afternoon destroyed prop erly to the extent of $50,000. Half a block, between East Trade and Fifth streets, was practically burned. 20 horses, most of them belonging t out of town people attending the Mecklenburg Fair, were burned to death. A '.tiff wind was blowing and the fire department got the fire undei control with ddifnculty. The losees were partially covered by insurance. Met Death Between Cars. Winston-Salera, Special.

CZAR GIVES UP Russia Wia Have a Republican Form of Government WITTE TAKES REINS IN HAND Recent Peace Envoy Holds an All Day Conference With the Hum bled Sovereign and Finally De part With a Signed Maaifesto Granting Freedom of tht Press, Bight of Assembly and Inaanitf of the Person, Including: tht Writ of Habeas Corpus. St. Petersburg, By Cable. The au tocracy of the Romanoffs, ami the old order of things ceased to exist in Rus sia. Emperor Nicholas has surrendered and Count Witte come into power as Minister-President with an imjerial mandate which will enable him to con vert the farcial National Assembly into a real legislative boddy, elected by greatly extended suffrage, and to con fer uj-on the people fundamental civil liberties, including free sjeeeh. These welcome tidings reached St. Petersburg shortly before G o'clock Monday evening. Count Witte had spent the day with the Emperor at Peterhoff, going over the final draft of the manifesto to which he insisted that minor modifications be made, and before taking the train for St. Peters burg he telephoned .to a friend that the Emperor had affixed his signature and that the imperial mandate com prising the conditions upon which he had agreed to accept office was in his pocket. These include freedom of the press, the right of assembly and the immunity- of the person, including the right of habeas corpus. Czar Wanted American Plan. Count Witte insisted on a cabinet on the British model with a selected Premier responsible to the imjerial Doiuna, or Parliament, while the Em peror clung to the appointment of members of the cabinet on the Ameri can plan by the Emperor as Chief of State. The State Department has instruct ed Charge D 'Affaires Eddy, in case of emergency, to give American citi zens asylum at the embassy, and if necessary to charter a steamer. Foreign Minister LauisdorrT is re assuring the ambassadors by formal ly guaranteeing the safety of foreign residents. He announces that the gov ernment is prepared to afford them military protection in St. Petersburg and elsewhere in the event of disord ers. The following is the text of the imperial manifesto: Russia's Magna Carta. "We, Nicholas the Second, by the grace of God Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias, Grand Duke of Finland, etc., declare to all our faith ful subjects that the troubles and agi tation in our capitals and in numerous other places fill our heart -with ex cessive pain and sorrow. "The happiness of the Russian sov ereign is indissolubly boundd up with the happiness of our people, and the sorrow of our people is the sorrow of the sovereign. "From the present disorders may arise great national disruption. They menace the integrity and untiy of our empire. "The supreme duty imposed upon us by our sovereign office requires us to efface ourself and to use all the force and- reason at our command to hasten in securing unity and co-ordination of the power of the central government and to assure the success of measures for pacification in all cir cles of public life, which are essential to the well-being of our people. "We therefore direct our govern ment to carry out our inflexible will in tie following: Privileges and Immunities. "First, To extend to the population the immutable foundations of civic liberty, based on the real inviolability of person, freedom of conscience, speech, union and association. "Second, Without suspending the already ordered elections to the State Douma, to invite to participation in the Douma, so far as the limited tune before the convocation of the Douma will permit, those classes of the pop ulation now completely deprived of electoral rights, leaving the ultimate development of the people or electoral right in general to the newly established legislative order of things. " Third, To establish as an un changeable rule that no law shall be enforcable without ths approval of the State Douma, and that it shall he possible for the elected of the people to exercise real participation in ths supervision of the legality of the acts of the authorities appointed by us. "We appeal to all faithful sons of Russia to remember . their duty to wards the fatherland, to aid in tremi nating these unprecedented troubles; and to apply their forces in eo-ope ra tio a with us to the restoration of calm and peace upon our "national soil. .
