FUTURE OF THE NEGRO RACE DNeunMlon Ilcfnrc Society of Ktlilcnl Culture nt ''nrncKlc Hull. NBW YOitK, April 8. The future of tho negro race was the subject of discussion nt Carnegie hall today before tho Society of Ktblcal Culture. William II. Ilaldwln, presi dent of tho Long Island railroad; I'rof. Felix Adlcr and P. Fisher nnd Itobert W Taylor, two graduates of tho Tuskcgeo (Ala.) school, were tho npeakcrs. All spoko hopefully of tho negro's future and found a solution of existing problems In Industrial education. Mr. Dalit win said tho principal questions Involved In the future of the negro race are the social relations of black nnd white, tho civil rights of tho blacks, tho labor ques tion, tho religious nnd moral training of the blacks, the abuso of the negro and tho nometimcs mooted question of how to get rid of tho negro as a whole by amalgama tion or deportation. All these questions ro Included In tho main question of tho general education of the negro. Ho held that the flue distinction between black and -white In the south Is proper and beyond criticism. Referring to the question of labor, ho said It was tho only solution of the troubles In the south. A negro and a mule, ho acknowledged, uro the only coni- lilnatlon that can grow cotton, and conse quently ate insentlal to thu welfare of the south. The religious aud moral welfare of black aud whlto In the south could ouly be uecqred by Industrial education. Referring to the nbtue cf tho negro Mr. Baldwin said there was never any complaint of tho moral Integrity of the negro of tho no ii tli lu relation to tho whiten before tho -war. latterly It was not uncommon for no firoot) to bo lynched for crimes other than the only cue that could by any possibility jutitlfy it. A euro for lynching could bo found in two ways: always to give matters of n criminal nssault the right of way In tho courts; secondly, to compel tho community dn which tho lynching occurs to pay a fixed sum to tho family of tho victim. Tho fifteenth amendment to tho Conntltutlon of tho United States, Mr. Ilaldwln said, cost a million liven to enact; ns many ruoro stand ready to defend It. Tho fault In not In tho amendment, but tho suffrago right should 'bo equal to whlto and black. Tho negro ittnuds ready for educational or property qualifications It the same nuallflcntlonn be enforced for whlto men. It Is a, general question of education for tho whiten and Iblacks. Mr. Ilaldwln spoke of tho refining Influences of schools like the Hampton In tltttto and Tuflkcgce. An Industrial cducn Hon that would elevate, but no unfit him for tho only path that was open to him is the only solution to tho many problems Taac Fisher told of his graduation from Tuskgou and of his call to the Schovlllo Hcliool of Aiken, S. C. Ho provoked much laughter by his description of the condition bo found there. Robert W. Taylor said that when he first went to Tuskegeo his nmbitlon was to go to congress and help to enact laws for tho ben cfit of his race. Under the tcuchlngn of tho echools he noon learned that tho salvation of the negro can come through no law but tho law of labor. The hope of the race, ns of tho south In Kcneral, Mr. Taylor found, Is In tho ednca tlon of tho children. In Alabama, he said the education of tho children In tho cltle averago JIG n head, while for tho education of tho children In tbe country districts 80 cents a head Is tho allowance. To that m!e calculation Is duo much of tho mlsory nnd Ignorance of the south. FIGURE UP THE FIRE LOSS Immense .Slnclc Valued nt n .Million llnllitrH In Allium! Tnlnl P1TTS11URG, April 8.

Tho building Is In bnd shape, but the firm expects to resume business within ten or fifteen days. After their fire three years ago It required twelve days to rcutime.

LAST ROUND OVER PORTO RICO Weak Will Bee Finish of Fight on the Tariff Bill, REPUBLICANS CONFIDENT IT WILL CARRY runic Will IIiinIi Aiiriiii'littlnti Hill mil .Nrecssiiry I,i'uIkIiiIIoii in Order to Clone cwlnii Hurl)- In .Summer. WASHINGTON. April 8. Tho features of tho week In the house will bo the closing fight on the Porto Rlcan tariff bill. The republican managers will carry out tho pro gram agreed upon In caucus on Wednesday, when a special rule will bo adopted which will bring tho motion to concur In the senate amendments to a vote after severnl hour j if debate. Doth sides are laboring earnestly to poll their full trength, but tho republicans appear to bo confident that the motion will carry by a tufa margin. They assert the republican opposition will not be over seven vote, tho number who voted against tho original bill, Tho agricultural appropriation bill will consume tomorrow and Tuesday. Friday Is private pension day nnd Saturday is set apart for addresses on tho receipt of thu stutue of Oliver P. Morton of Indiana. Nciinte Korernnt, Sonntor Chandler probably will make an offort Monday to get the senate to agree U(ou a day for taking a voto on tho resolution con cerning the seating of Senator Quay. Tho liresont Indications are that for the present ho wilt fall to secure unanimous consent nnd In any event tho discussion of the resolu tion will proceed. Among tho senators who nru expected to engage In tho discussion lire Ilurrowtj, Quarlea nnd Piatt foConnectlcut, all nt whom npposo the seating of Mr. Quay. Ilurrows probably will speak Monday. Th Indian appropriation bill will con tinue to re.-t-lvo attention until disposed of, but It U not expected to occasion a great deal moro of debnto. Senator Carter hopes to proceed with tho consideration of tho Alaskan code bill early u tho week, with tho hope of securing action nt an early day. There aro still some differ ences pertaining to mining righto to be ad- Justed In this measure and more or less dis cussion necessarily will precede their de termination. The appropriation bill for the District of Columbia probably will be con sidered during tho week. On Wednesday Senator Lodgo will ask the senate to vote upon tho Philippine tem porary measure, but he doco not expect to accomplish moro than to got a day fixed for tho voto. Thero is apparently no dis position to debate this bill to any grout ex tent, but an objection is likely to be entered to a vote at this time. The republican sen ators nre dlspi so4 to crowd In nil possible sail with tho vlow of securing early ad journment, and to this end will seek to get early action on appropriation bills and on other nece.nary legislation. The democrats apparently nre dlspcsed to fall In with this Idea nnd they, too, express a desire to get away early In the summer. Tho committee on elections will concludo Its consideration of tho caso of Senator Clark of .Montana during tho week. Senator Chandler, chairman of the committee, ex presses tho opinion that only one sitting of tho committee will 1 necessary to de termlno the nttltude of tho committee. A portion of tbo session of tho senate of Tuesday afternoon will be devoted to eulo gies upon tho late Representative Dland of Mlmourl. ADVERSE TO LAND LEASING CoiunilHxInucr lleriiiiin Ileports ) Severnl Connreioiloiinl Mills He fcrrcil to II I in. WASHINGTON, April 8. Several bllla which have been introduced In congress have beou referred to Commissioner Herman of tho general land ofllco tor his Judgment ns to their merits. One of these provides that exclusive leases for mining purpones may be granted to lands within tho territory of the United States which He below high water mark. It Is proposed to grant exclusive leases upon condition that u bond of $5,000 be given to insure proper fulfilment of the agreement. Commissioner Herman reporto adversely on this bill, for the reason that while Capo Nome Is not speclflcnlly mentioned lu It the evident intent Is to make it apply there. It Is held to contradict tho policy of the United States government to grant executive leases of this character to gold fields and tho provision in regard to a $5,000 bond would operate to exclude poor mlucrts from securing grants. Another bill upon which adverse report I.i mado provides for leasing public lands In tho arid regions for grazing purposes. Advereo report also has been made upon a somewhat similar bill of a more general nnd fnr-reachlng nnture, which provides for leasing any available public lands for grazing. Tho commissioner iys that the courts havo held such action to be contrary to tho custom of a hundred years which permits the free use of such lands by anyone and says that in his Judgment the time has not cemo to overturn this policy.

PROFESSIONALS VICTORIOUS Second Game with Originals Rnults in Favor of tho Omahani. THREE PROFESSIONAL PITCHERS APPEAR llnrrell, Mucker nnil Potter Slioir Their Talent In Miinliiilnlloii uf the .Sphere nt Vinton Street l'Arli iunilii). A crowd of base ball enthusiasts comfort ably filled the grand stand nt tho Vinton Slrcot park Sunday oflernoon, taxed the limit of cnpnclty of tho bleachers and lndl- cnted Its keon enjoyment at tho fairly good exhibition given by tho Omaha professionals nnd the Originals. The gamu was more In teresting than tho Innugural contest of tho season on tho dny preceding. It moved with moro snap nnd vigor nnd the Originals mado no mean showing In tho faco of the con ceded ability of their opponents, succeed ing In scoring five runs, as against nine chalked up for tho Kelth-Rourko combina tion. Tho particularly Interesting feature af forded by tho game was the probationary work of thrco of the pitchers who nre on thu ground seeking appointments us inun Inulators of thn stihcro on the Omaha team. Hurrell and Mnckay were tried In tho box i by tho professionals nnd "Cy" Potior was pressed into service by the Originals nftor Danny Taylor had failed to make a flatter ing dobut and Scully became fatigued. In the four Innings that he occupied the box Hurrell did not make a profound impression nnd tho live runs that the Originals made wero under his regime. Hurrell is an old timer In tho business, however, with a highly creditable record, but his conditlou now Is not such as it will be after a little conscientious practice. Mackey pitched tho last five Innings. His performance was de void of anything calculated to inspire the averago fan, but he pltchod a geod. steady gnme nnd only two hits were mado off his dellvory. Potter took his turn In the box for tho Originals in the fifth Inning nnd did fairly good work, striking out three of his com rades who havo graduated from tho ranks of tho amateurs. In tho field tho Omahans wero actively In tho gamo at all stages and showed up well. Toman covered tho terri tory assigned to him at shortstop In a highly satisfactory manner and sustained tho belief that he la a Holder of more than ordi nary ability. Tho Originals Joined In contributing nn oppoxlng gamo for the professionals which, It is safe to say, was in every respect as good as would be put up by any of the other teams In the Western league nt this time. Scully, Waller, Lawier and Jollen did work which entitles thorn to higher rnnk than amateur fields nffordr and Deneon covered center field well nigh ,as satisfactorily as Jellen always covers his portion of the out field nnd his work wasf recognized nnu ap preciated by the discriminating funis In tho grandstand and tho bleachers.
