( "This country," said Governor Hughes, of New York, "is not a mere wealth-producing machine. None of its problems can be solved if its peo ple are treated merely as parts of an industrial mechanism. It is a country of men, with the aspirations and the dignity of manhood. The fundamen tal requirement is self-respect, upon which character and the highest cf- floieney necessarily depend. And with respect to white and black, conditions whieh promote the wholesome feeling of personal honor and individual worth are alone the conditions whieh will secure lasting benefits for our so ciety and the solution of the grave problems which confront it." The other formal addresses were by Editor Henry Watterson, who spoke on the "Negro's Future "and Booker T. Washington, who told of the work of the educational institution of which he is the head.

Rufus King, a noted Quaker preacher." n ' - ; " " gotten along faster than his colored neighbor, all were creatures of evo- ution and edueation. He spoke 1a part as follows: The most serious problem for the former slave-holding States to solve by reflection one of the most ser ious problems for the States of the North to consider and help to solve is known as the negro question. As it stands, it is the embodiment of a cen tury of misleading and error. Each side in the controversy has had its share in both the misleading and the error. Not until heaven raised up in the prescribed race of man a leader of men though a negro who is with us here did a single ray of truth penetrate the surrounding darkness. Almost despairing I had ceased to theorize, throwing myself back on a simple, uhildlike faith in God, when Booker T. Washington appeared on the scene to lighten the gloom and point the way. It rejoices me to stand by his side, to hold up hi3 hands. Nobody can go to Tuskeegec and see what I saw there and come away without being impressed. Ever since I went there, now "many years ago, I have been filled with hope; for though the institution of African sla very be dead, and thank the Lord of Hosts for that, the negro-is here; he is here in ever increasing numbers, and ho is here to stay. All schemes for getting rid of him are fantastic, and, if attempted, would prove abor tive. He must be -developed on new lines, educated to an analous sitna tion, and resolve into the body of so ciety, not as an irritant, but as a natural, indispensable component part. That's the problem, "I want nothing for myself, or for my children, which I am not -ready to give , to my colored neighbor and his children. I live in a region peo pled by many blacks good, orderly, hard-working -folk. " They know mo. and they know that when I : declare thia I mean it. ian poliee have discovered an anarch istic plot here, having as its -object the destruction of part of the Ameri can fleet now lying in tho harbor, me conspiracy, wnue centering in Rio Janerio and Petropolis, has ram ifications in San Paulo and Minas Garaes. An individual named Jean Fedher, who resided in ., Petropolis, was the chief conspirator here, al though it is understood that foreign anarchists are deeply involved in the plot. Fedher is believed to have fired to Sao Paulo, and the police who know him, have been sent to that plaee for the purpose of apprehend ing him. One of the detectives, jt ho was well acquainted with 'Fanner, having served on the police force at Petroplis for some time, returned from that place, after having made investigations there and had a , long conference . with the chief of police at Rio Janerio. The latter gave it to be understood later that the Sao Paulo poliee are on the track of the aren-conspirator and expect - to ar rest him soon. In an official note which the chief of poliee sen'1 to the correspondent of the Associated Press, he says: "Some time before the arrival of the American fleet at Rio Jahiro. the Brazilian government received from Washington and Paris , advices that anarefiists of different nationalties intended to damage one or several of the ships of the American fleet. The names and addresses of the conspira tors were indicated by information which the police here had received previously from France and Ger many. The police of this district are working with the police of Sao Paulo ana Mints ueraes and l am sure every precaution will be- exercised and the most vigorous vigiliance ob served both on land and at sea to prevent any injury being done." The chief of police, after having made this official statement, said tha he did not feel he should go into any further details with regard to the conspiracy, but he authorized thej statement that the plot was organized by Fedher and he added that the peo ple of the United States could rest easy as all of the conspirators had taken refuge in the interior. a 11a 1 as yei me people 01 Brazil are ignorant of the detaifs of the plot to do injury to the visitors, althouch there has been some slight inkling of the matter. The impression which the exposure of this plot will create here will be a profound one, because it is the first anarchistic conspiracy that has ever been known in Brazil. The police at Sao Paulo have sent word that they are on the track of the malefactor, who they declaro will not be able to come to Rio Janeiro. New York, Special.

When nightfall put a stop to the work of recovering the dead from the ruins of the 'Rhodes opera house,, where Mon day night's holocaust occurred, the official roll of victims numbered 167.

Then unie the declaration of the ten men ho sat on tue coroner's jury during the inquiry into Stanford White's dalh, all of whom declared that the defendant the day following the shooting acted irrationally. His man ner and appearance were such as to cause tje inquest jury to discuss Lis tatc of mind after their formal ver- diet bad been rendered. In the day's testimony there was more delving into the history of the Thaw family. Alfred Lee Thaw, oJ Richmond, Ya., a third cousin of the defendant, taking the stand and tell ing of the taint of insanity which had caused Lis father and brothers to die in State atylums. ' Some ol Thaw's alleged eccentri cities were related by Christopher Bagjan, steward of the New York Whist Club; by Miss Matilda Stein,, a telephone operator, and by August Weber, a former butler in the Thaw household. Thaw spent a portion of the afternon of June 25th, 1906, at the Whist Gub and at. that time a few hours before the tragedy was pictured by the steward as being highly nervous and as frequently ex claiming "This is awful." Five days before the tragedy he asked the stew ard to have a valuable package 'put into the safe. After the shooting the package was opened and found to contain three cigarettes wrapped in tin foil. District Attorney Jerome in cross-examining the club's stew ard, brought out the fact that Thaw played bridge there with many prom inent men. The witness declared he was not supposed to know what Mi.

No action has . yet been taken. acquainted with those who died 111 the fire. In several cases .whole-families have been wiped out. ,- It was' almost daylight Tuesday morning before the flames were ex tinguished and rescuers were able to enter the ruins to remove the dead. The morning was bitter cold and by the time the benumbed and exhausted firemen began the task of disentang ling the mass of burned , beams and twisted iron, the entire ruins were coated with ioe and there was danger of the walls falling. , It was 7 o'clock before the first body was removed. Coroner Strauser, of Reading, who reached the scene Tuesday night, had a detail of men ready to tag the bodies and keep a record of tho des cription of every corpse removed. The bodies were so badly burned, how ever, that there was little to describe them by, and it is safe to say thai not half the victims will ever be identified. The second victim was taken from the ruins about .an hour after the first, and then the work of recovery moved more rapidly. By noon the reenrera became thorough ly exhausted from the cold and hard work and for a time the work came almost to a standstill. Fortunately the Philadelphia & Reading Railway Company sent H. W. KefEer, superin tendent of the Reading division, to the scene and Mr. Keffer offered the company's assistance to Coroner Strauser. Chief Burgess KoUler was unable to furnish men to help and Coroner Strauser immediately avail ed himself of the railroad's offer. Within an ' hour the company had two carloads of laborers and carpen ters on the ground and the wo A of recovering bodies moved so rapidly that victims were being taken from the ruins at the rate of two every five minutes. There were many different stories as to the exact cause of the panic and fire, and there were several rumors of arrests, but the borough officials and Coroner Strauser denied thai any action whatever had been taken. the others played for, but he was sure I The coroner said that his one thought The death list in the BoyextowiB, Pa., disaster has grown to 170v - The legislature of South Carofiaa met in regular session on Tuesday. .
