Russell's Speech Read B\ l.o^e Harris. (iOVIiRNOR (ilVHS OUT HIS VIEWS I On Tho Progieas of 1 lie Republican Parly in The Smith- -Also Touches On l he Race Problem. Chicago, Special.? The fifteenth an nual Lincoln vay banquet of the Mar quelle Club, was Riven tonight at the Auditorium Hotel, covers being laid for r?00 guests. 'Die nddnvss of Governor I). I.. Russell, <?f North Carolina, on "The Pmgre?s of RcpnhH<vm1sm In the South," was read by Adjutant General J. C. L. Harris, of North Carolina, Governor Russell having been prevent-" ed by ofllc-lal duties front leaving his State. Murat Hal-toad and RepH' Buutauvu JUcCleary. of Minnesota. were llie other speakers. Governor Russell said t ho opposition to negro suffrage among the whites in the slave belt in the South is almost a.s ;dr;-.ng apd uni versal as was the devotion to the insti tution of slavery. Tho mere presence of the negro, coupled with the fact that the Federal constitution guarantees him on paper the right to vote equal ly with any other citizen, having tho sanW* tjualillcaUons, has been sufficient to Keep the wJiitos solidly in one or ganization, which they callthe Demo cratic party. Thousands of them are, In t'heir real sentiments, against the Democratic party and these thousand^? the property holdes and business mvn. ae mostly at. war with the platform of the Democratic party and in sympathy with every tenet of the Republican party. If they resided in the free States (States that, were not slaveholders) thejj would be outspoken Republicans. They have abandoned secession, chat tel slavery and State rights on every question but tho negro question, but as to this, they have defied the national government by flagrant, persistent and successful nullification of its constitu tion and Its laws. And to this nullifi cation the North has submitted to an qxtent that looks like condonation, if not approval. If your war amend ments can Tiot be enforced, would it not be better to repeal them? Yet these men will go into the Dcmocratio primaries and vote this year for Bryan and pray for McKlnley ? not only pray for his policy, but also pray for his re-election." Two Islands Seized. Manila, by Cable. ? It Is reported that the United SIh(?m gun botrt Princeton visited the Tatniias and C'alugan inl ands, which were omitted from tiie Paris treaty of peace, being north of 20 degrees of latitude, raised American flags and appointed native governors. It is added that the Princeton found the Japanese flag at the Bayat Island, and refrained landing there, pending orders. Reports from native sources, which are not confirmed, say General PJqXel Pilar, the insurgent command er, dieft-oX fever recently. The Prince ton occup^d the Northern Islands un der*, a government order. The report f;hat\a Japanese flag was found flying has notlbeen confirmed, but there is a rumor that Japan /intended to- take the islands. \Tho nativjps willingly snlwti tuted the Aijiepiean for insurgent offi cials, and tooK the oath of allegiance. The natives of Samar and Iveyte are returning to their towns and normal conditions are being resumed. Big Februnry Rains Factories Closing.
