ROOT MADE A SPEECH
tho the
Netjro
Question
New York Kebrnary OABllhu Boot din
cussed tho negro question and labor untous
tonight at the foretleth anniversary of tbe
Union League club which wa3 celebrated
by u banquet to the men who have been
members since 1SC3 Fifteen of those mem
beis were prehent tonight There were
thirtyfive other membors of the club pres-
ent A letter of i egret was received from
President Itoostvelt Secretary Boot was
chairman He congratulated tho veterans
of the club upon having woven a thr > ad
into tbe fabric ot tbe great life of this
country
There are some labor organizations
he said which tight against tbe better
man doing more work thun tho poorer Won
and which hold down the competent man
to tho level of the Incompetent and stupid
I do not decline war ugulust labor organiza-
tions I believe In them The laborer ts
entitled to organize to get his own
After tbe civil war the great question
was What shall wo do with the black-
man and tho answer was dive him citi-
zenship rights and he will rise Three
amendments cre added to the constitu-
tion and I fear we shall have to face tho
conclublon that the experiment has failed
The suffrage bas been tuken away from
the negro and In many of tho Southern
States the black man no longer has tho
right of suffrage
A curious development has been seen
within tbe past year President Roosevelt
has appointed fewer black men than Presi-
dent McKtnloy and there are fewer now
holding office than when McKlnley died
Yet loud outcries are to be heard in the
South about President Roosevelts polley
i of appointing black men to office In tho
South Under Presidents McKlnley Clcvc
back to time
land Harrison
more negroes were appointed to office mid
nothing was said
black attended nn official recep
A man
tion In Washington at the White House n mp0rtant
The black man ns an offi
short time ago
cial of the goi eminent had always attend-
ed these receptions Yet the Invitation of
the president to these men was the signal
for nn outcry of a thousand papers IP the
South that the whites were being Insulted
I dont want to argue this question I
am only showing that we have to face a
change of feelings in the South where
the black man Is denied the right to aspire
to the highest there Is in American citi-
zenship This right to aspire to the highest
dignity which was formerly unquestioned
short time the
is now questioned In a
white man will succeed in excluding the
black man from all offices lu the Southern
° Wc can never throw off tho rcsponsl
that rests on our people for the wet
bllltv
for of these blacks that we held tn slavery
many generations
for so
Now that the first attempt has failed
the question Is what to do nnd It should
take the greatest thought of the greatest
minds of the country

London February 0 It la officially
stated here that the utiles offer to submit
the method of treatment of thrtr claims
to arbitration Is a concession which should
facilitate rather than delay a speedy set
tleraent of tho Venezuelan nltnlr The al-
lies will rnlso the blockade as soon aa the
protocol embodying thu arbitration agree-
ment Is Ktencd and not nwalt the decision
of The Hague court of arbitration or that
of President Roosevelt
At tho Gorman embaesv It la said tho
blockade should be raised within a few
days Cniphasls continues to lie laid on
tho contention that the point the allies
now ngreo to nrbltrato Is not preferential
but separate treatment of their claim

ticipated the allies nr < > willing to Imme
diately prepare their caso for Tho Hagun
court of arbitration tho outlines of which
would be embodied lu the protocol with
Venezuela and upon Minister Bowen pavlna
tho cash promised tho protocol would bo
signed and tho blockade would end
These statements are all made on tho pro
vlso that the previous nrrangementH be-
tween Mr Bowcn ami tho representatives
of the allies hold good and that no new
complications arise such as furtbi de-
mands on tho part of Venezuela So far as
known here tbo onlr Question at Issuo la

Italian claims separately from those of tho
other powers and tho allies are now will-
ing to leavo It to Tho Hague court of ar-
bitration or to Mr Hooserclt whether they
aro all to share In the 30 per cent of tlio

rorclvo additional proportions It la ns

BOWEN NOT TIUCKIW
Washington February 0 Confirmation
of tho Londou dispatch of yesterday to the
effect that Sir Uoweu and tho British am
bassador at an Interview Slouduy hud
somewhat heated argument was obtalue
hero today Indeed It Is stated that bhould
tho character of cablegrams that the Brit-
ish ambassador has been sending to his
government regarding the attitude of Situ
Uter Bon en become public thu country
would bo furnished with sensational diplo-
matic incidents It is tho opinion ot the
Venezuelan negotiators other than tho Brit-
ish ambassador that the lattur lu directly
responsible for the abrupt breaking off of
negotiations with Sir Bowen It is tho
opinion tn official circles Minister Bowen
has absolute right In acting for Vcnezuelu
of course to object to President Roosevelt f
acting ns arbitrator To do so would causi
pain to Bowen whose admiration for Roosc
vclt Is well known but he feels obliged to
keep his whole mind op tho fact that he
is here not ns an American but as a rcpre
sentatlvo of Venezuela The Brltlih am
bassadors conduct has resulted In B veraI
detallA of the momentous con
ference of Slondav last leaking out and
these nre now substantiated by tho other
negotiators present It seems when tho
British ambassador who took tbe lead In
this conference had finished reading a ea
blegram from Lord Lansdnwne containing
his last proposition for 20 and 10 per cent
division of the custom receipts of Tortn
Cabcllo and La Guavra between the allies
and other clalmaut nations respectivelySir
Bowen nt onco remarked in emphatic tone
that tho proposition was but another
scheme to trick Venezuela Into abetting tho
alllancn against her for lx years and prob-
ably longer Ho added that be would not
consent to any scheme for continuing the
triple alliance one day longer than bo was
forced to
A diplomat stated afterwards It was
Mr Bowen who exploded the boralshell
