An interesting and picturesque feature was the use of sister battleships as stake- boats, five of them being lined up—the Texas., Massachusetts, Indiana, Kentucky and Kearsarge. The Alabama came down to the starting line about 10:30 o'clocky under fair headway and went by as if on a cruise. The first stakeboat was the Texas. The United States ship Osceola was the second mark. The third leg was marked by the Kearsarge, and as the Alabama went by, now at great speed, Captain Folger had his jackies lined up to cheer. The fourth mark was the Hen- tucky. the fifth the Indiana and the out- mark, which was not far out to sea from Boone Tsland, was the Massachusetts. This latter ship was passed shortly before half-past 12 and then the Alabama was given a few evolutions to test her helm. The return of the Alabama over the course had little more of moment than the run out. She crossed the finish line ebout 3:30. Afterward the ship was again Private L. I. McAllister, thigh, severe.

A INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 25.—The National Afro-American Council met here to-day with an attendance of 400 of the representative colored men of the United States. Bishop Walters, president of the organization, made his address, which was the feature of the day. He said that the colored race was passing through the that most critical period in its history: great wisdom was needed to guid tinies, and that the race must in combative, revengeful spirit, but in a manly, courageous way. He pieaded for a full recognition of the privileges accord- ed to every white citizen of the United States, denounced the recent disfrancise- ment amendments passed in North C: lina and accused the Federal Government of neglect in not protecting the franchise rights of the negro. He admitted that prejudice was on the increase, but urged that it is best to cease resistance and do by education, industry and character what cannot otherwise be practically ac- complished. He urged the race to act honorably in politics, and declared that politicians must cease to make the negro a pawn in the political game. “Some of us have signified our willir ness to unite with the Demacratic par wherever and whenever they will make advantages for us to do so. Since we have taken the initiative, it is for that party to say whether it desires our votes by a consideration in the way of just leg- islation and kind treatment.

He said: “I am very glad that Mr. Stevenson has been indorsed by the Populists. He is thoroughly committed to the prineiples set forth in the Kansas City platform and deserves the support of all who believe in those principles. To have nominated any- one else would have weakened the ticket. The Populist organization will profit by this evidence of its willingness to place the triumph of principles above partisan- ship.” ROOSEVELT TO SPEAK AT THE APPLE CARNIVAL LEAVENWORTH, Kans., Aug. 23.— Governor Roosevelt will speak at the an- nual apple carnival at Leavenworth dur- ing his trip through Kansas, and an ef- fort is being_made to have' Mr. Bryan, and if not, Mr. Towne, deliver an_ad- dress here the same week.
