So many months have elapsed since that intensely Interesting and enter taining philosopher and writer, Mr. P. C. Ennis, of your city, lectured before a Greensboro audience, that I had be gun to fear that he had lasped Into per petual silence, when, to my great de light, his learned and valuable contri bution to the discussion of the all ab sorbing war question appeared in your columns last Saturday. Nothing could have been more timely. Just at the time when the public was in doubt whether to take its cue from the start ling not to say, hair-ralslng-headlines In the daily papers, or from the more pacific press dispatches printed In con nection with them, nothing could have been more welcome than an authorita tive statement from one who has made the matter of international complica tions a life-long study from the stand point of Biblical research. It will doubtless relieve the public mind of suspense to have the uncertainty of the situation cleared up, even though the doubt be resolved In favor of war, and an universal war-at that; but while the writer, in common with some of his -contemporaries w ho have outlived the ardor of youth, had hoped for a peaceful solution of our misunderstand- ng with Spain, it is gratifying to our national and racial pride to know that our enemies will come out at the little end of the horn, so to speak. There Is one passage in Mr. Ennis' letter that impresses me most forcibly. It is this: "Certain momentous events are certainly transpiring respec ting the governments of the earth." In view of this statement It cannot be doubted that Mr. Ennis has fully comprehended the situation and grappled with the weighty problems involved in our con troversy with Spain in a way that de notes the master mind. No words known to the author of the unabridged dictionary are more capable of giving point to a strong expression. As the author says, they force conviction. In deed they do. They convince me but need not mention it; I am writing simply to express the gratification at having my mind relieved by such a lear and unanswerable statement of he outcome of the present perturba ion of the public mind by one whose researches of truth authorize him to set all doubts at rest. lut there is another point, and the main point in Mr. Ennis' recent con- ributions to literature, that he has H"t made clear to my mind. 1 have mentioned St to some of my friends. nd I find that they ate as densely lg- lorant as I. The "Anglo-Saxon-Israel ruth," about which Mr. Ennis dis ourses to learnedly, is still an un- athomable mystery. 1 have not had the advantage of fifteen years of dili gent research, and besides, I fear that my Judgment was warped In early life by the stories In the profane, or secu- ar, histories regarding the origin of he Teutonic race, which we have been aught to believe was the progenitor f the Anglo-Saxun, and, as some of ur countrymen say, the Anglo-Amerl- an. The historians, as well know, race the ancestry of our race far back beyond the birth of Abraham, and take o account of the lost tribes of Israel. That is where the trouble begins, 1 be- eve. As far as Mr. Ennis has gone in his contribution to the fund of knowledge n regard to the origin of the race, he as doubtless written clearly enough for the comprehension of one who has enjoyed like opportunities of study and research; but he seems to have overlooked the fact that the great ma- ority of mankind take their informa- ion second hand, and that the greater part of humanity have acquired such a degree of respect for the opinions of the old historians that It Is difficult overcome early prejudices. If Mr. Ennis really desires that his fellowmen shall share in the knowl edge that has come to him, he should begin over again by writing some arti cles adapted to the ordinary under standing and designed to clear away the cobwebs of false doctrine and su- erstltion. All honest men are open to conviction by the truth; but they must first be convinced that the belief they now hold are based on error. To this task he should apply his abilities. If he will write a few articles, couched n such lucid language as the passage quoted from his observations on unl- ersal war, he will render an inesti mable service to his fellow man. Fame, if not fortune, awaits the-man who can convince the Angle-Saxon people that they are descended through flesh and blood from Abraham. P. N. STAFF. Greensboro, N. C, April 4. "A JOLLY NIGHT."

Senator Fora ker's resolution, agreed upon by the Senate committee on foreign relations providing for the recognition of the independence and armed Intervention to maintain It, has been severely criti cised by a lawyer In the Senate as one which cannot stand legal criticism. A compromise resolution may be agreed on. The general idea Is that It will be passed after the President's mes sage is read. The conservative ele ment of the Senate will plead more de liberation and it Is possible that the question may be fully debated, at least In the House, whose rules of proceedure are more directly under the control of Reed and the committee on rules. In any event, Spain has but few days to determine her course of relinquishing Cuba which seems her only chance of escaping our vengeance. MANY CALLERS. Senators and Congressmen Visit the President This Morning. By Telegraph to The Press-Visitor. Washington, April 5. President Mc Kinley had many visitors this morn ing from both houses of Congress.

At the meet ing of the Senate foreign relations com mittee many members urged Imme diate action that the committee report the resclutions Immediately.

The Pope lee, ive.l this morning a telegram from President McKlnley declining the offers of the Pope for mediation betwe -n the I'niled States and Spain and this message also contains virtually a declaration of tie President's policy. MeKinley said thai he was extremely sensible to tin- ini tiative taken by the Pontiff, hut that M was Impossible to overcome the preju dice, even though unjust, entertained by the majority of the Americ an peo ple against the Vatican's Intervention in political affairs.

The Nephew of the King of the Kaf fir Tribe Dies at Southern Pines. Prince Alfred Impey, the Shaw Uni versity African student, died of con sumption at the Pickford Sanitarium Southern Pines, at 6 o'clock, this morning. He was in poor health when Me entered Shaw University at th' opening of the present session and soon after grew worse. He was sent to Southern Pines some two months ago with the hope that under the favorable climatic conditions he would improve. The funeral will take place at the Sanitarium Wednesday at 10 o'clock President Meserve and Dr. I'egues, ol the Shaw faculty, and Dr. L. A. Scruggs and wife, of this city, went to Southern Pines this afternoon to make the necessary arrangements for the funeral and burial. Undertaker Brown sent to Southern Pines this afternoon a beautiful oak casket to inclose the remains. The body will temporarily lie buried near the Sanitarium at Southern Pines and when the danger from contagion is over removed to the cemetery in Raleigh. Impey is a nephew of King William of the celebrated Kaffir tribe of South Africa. He was brought to this city direct from Mllle drift. South Africa, last fall by Rev. Mr. Jackson, a mis sionary, under the auspices of the Foreign Missionary Convention of the United Slates, to be at Shaw Univer sity for the the ministry as a mission ary. He was nearly 20 years of age. This climate here was too cold for the Prince and lie soon contracted con sumption from which lie died. He was of a pronounced negro type but the highness of his cheek bones was a marked feature. Last winter in an interview with Col. illds. Prince Impey said: "The present King is my uncle. King William. After my father's death I lived with King William. I belong to the Kaffir tribe. I am a Methodist and attended the mission school at Barns hill, where Miss Grandana was my teacher. I have been baptized. I was born at Milledrift near Lonsdale in Cape Colony, near the border of Kaffiaria. My uncle's capital is King William's town. He has an allowance from the British. His house is a great one, like this we are now in. and is built of stone and lirick. Our Kaffir people are of two kinds. Many attend school and wear trousers. In Longs done there is a very large school. But there are the '-Kcd Kaffirs" who do not go to school and do not wear clothes, but only a cloth." Prince Impey thought that his cou sin Montie Kama would succeed to the throne since Kama's father is old er than Impey's. Impey did not wish to be King bill a physician and a mis sionary.
