More than 10,000 Negroes from very State in the Union and all parts of the world attended last night's session of the third International Conyention of the Negro Peoples of the World at the 7ist Regiment Ar- mory, under the auspices of the Uni- versal Negro Improvement Associa- tion, They listened to stirring ad- Gresses pleading fervently for the up- itt of their race and its ultimate waification as one nation in Africa. ‘There were wild cheers when @peakers drew vivid picturss of tho black race, 400,000,000 strong, in pos- seasion of their native land, conduct- ing the business of a great nation of ||P their own.

Knowing States possessed the largest and intelligent body of Negroes in t © promote world, he came here and organtzed the association of which he is the head. Among the interesting figures there was Duse Mahommed Ali, an Egyptian and a Mohammedan priest. He made a most picturesquo figure sitting on the platform in a red and white fez, wearing about his collar an order con- ferred upon him by the Khedive of + COOLIN HEN the thermom- eter mounts and themoraledroops,there’s alot of gdod cheer and concentrated coolness to be poured out of an Ovington refreshment service.
