More Frequent Cotton Reports. The Senate heard ten witncsses in the Swayne impeachment trial Mon day, and devoted the remainder of its time to the consideration of the agri cultural appropriation bill. The major portion of the debate in connection with the appropriation bill was based on an amendment suggested by *ir. Bacon, providing for semi-monthly re ports on the condition of the cotton crop, which was amended so as to cover the last five months of the year. and adopted. Mr. Bacon, in offering his amend ment, said that no provision could be incorporated in the bill that would be of so much importance to the cot ton producers as this one. He traced the failure of the growers to secure profitable returns from last season's crop to the Infrequency of the offi cial reports. The loss in one month on this account had not been less than $40,000,000. He also urged that the Secretary should publish a synopsis of the infcrmation on which his esti mate is based, as vell as the estimate itself. Mr. Proctor presented a letter from the chief statistician of the Agri cultural Department, saying that the adoption of the Bacon cotton amend ment would involve an additional ex penditure of $363,000 per annum. Senate as a High Court. The Senate passed the agricultural appropriation bill and began consider ation of the bill making appropria tions for the District of Columbia. The Hansbrough amendment to the agrictiltural bill, relative to the draw backs on the duty on wheat, was agreed to after an extended debate, in which tariff questions figured to a considerable extent. The usual three hours were given to the trial of the impeachment charges against Judge Swayne. In connection with that case the Senate decided to take no testi mony on the point of inconvenience in the judge's residence outside of his district, also that Judge Swayne's statement to the House committee should not be used as evidence in the trial. The House managers introduced the Florida-McGular case of record in the Supreme Court of the United States. In this connection, :. T. Davis testi fied regarding inconvenience caused by Judge Swayne's absence, and at the suggestion of Mr. McCumber that this was not an issue, it was elimin ated. E. C. Dearborn, conductor of the Jac4sonville, Tampa & Key West Railroad, reiterated his previous testi mony regarding Judge Swayne's trip in a private car of the company. Joseph H. Durkee, of Jacksonville~, Fla. who was receiver for the Jackt snville, Tampa & Key West Railroad in 1893, when Judge Swayne made his trip from Delaware to Florida In one of~its private cars, testified that the expenses of the trip had been borne by the company. He said he had been appointed to the position of receiver by Judges Swayne and Pardee, the lat ter being circuit judge. Manager Palma then attempted to have the statement muada voluntarily by Judge Swayne b?efore the House committee in November last. placed before the Senate, 2-ut Mr. Thurston protested, on the ground that the- re spondent's testimony on a former oc casion could not be used under the law. The chiair held the testimony to be inadmissible under the law, and Mr. Bailey appealed from the decision, ar guing that this was not a criminal proceeding, nor the Senate a court witin the meaning of the statute The appeal caused the first roll-call since the beginning of the proceeding. The question as put was whether the evidence was admissible, and the Sen ate decided, 28 to 45, that it was not. A majority of the affirmative votes were cast by Democratic Senators, but the following Republican Sena tors voted with them: Allison, Crane Dietrich, Long and Spooner. The Democratic Senators voting in the negative with the Republicans were: Bacon, Culberson, D)uBois, Gormnan, MCreary, Patterson and Pettus. The names of the Senators who have not been sworn in the case were not called. W. A. Bloi'c, an attorney of Pen sacola, Fla.. was the last witness of the day. The coumt then adjourned. House Makes Appropriations. The House committee on appropria tions completed and reported the sun dry civil appropriation bill. The bill appropriates $65,558,880, which is ar increase of $7,718.669 over the appro priations for the current years. The increase includ'es excess required tc meet contract obligations for the con struction of public buildings, $3,224. 400:; excess required to meet contract obligations for river and harbor works I$2.571,.932.

IHE RACE PROBLEM speech By President Roosevelt At L.1nColn tiilner IS CONSERVATIVE IN EXPRESSION the Chief Executive Appcais to the North For AddedA Friendliness to the South Because of Conditions For Which the South is Not Alone Re sponsible and Makes Acknowledge ments to Crusaders Against Lynch ing-Backward Race Must be Train ed Without Impeding Forward Race -Must Maintain Race Purity. New York, Special.-As the guest A honor at the Lincoln dinner of the Republican Club in this city Monday sight, President Roosevelt made a apeech on the raco problem. He ap- I ;caled to the North to make its friend ;hip for the South- all the greater be :ause of the "embarrassment of condi tions for which she is not alone re ;ponsible," declared that the heartiest acknowledgements are due to the min istcrs, law oficers, grand juries, pub dc men and "great daily newspapers n the South who have recently done auch effective work in leading the cru :ade against lynching," and said that the problem was to "so adjust the re iaticns between two races of different ethnic type, that the backward race be trained so that it may enter into :he possession of true freedom, while the forward race is enabled to pre srve unharmed the high civilization wrought out by its forefathers." Among other things the President ;aid: The President's Address. In his second inaugural, in a speech which will be read as long as the mem ory of this nation endures, Abraham Lincoln closed by saying: "With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness In the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we aro In; * * to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations." Immediately after his re-election he had already -spoken thus: "The strife of the election is but human nature practically applied to the facts of the case. What has oc curred In this case must ever recur in similar cases. Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. Let us, therefore, study the in cidents of this as philosophy to learn wisdom from, and none of them as wrongs to be revenged. * *May rot all having a common interest re unite In a common effort to (serve) our common country? For my own part I have striven and shall strive to avoid placing any obstacle in the way. So long as I have been here I ave not willingly planted a thorn in ~any man's h)ocom. While I am deeply sensible to the higli compliment of a re-election, and duly grateful, as I ti ust, to Almighty God for hav'ing di rected my countrymen to a right con clusion, as I think, for their own good. t adds nothing i:o my satisfaction that any other man may be disappointed or parned Dy rne reruft. "May I ask those who have not dif fered with me to join me in this same spirit toward those who have?" VICE NEGRO'S ARCH ENEMY. Laziness and shiftlessness, these, and above all. vice and criminality of every kind, are evils more potent for harm to the black race than all acts of oppression of white men put to gether. The colored man who fails to condemn crime in another colored man, who fails to co-operate in all lawful ways to bringing colored criminals to justice, is the worst enemy of his own people, as well as an enemy to all the people. Law-abiding men should, for the sake of their race, be foremost In relentless and unceasing warfare against law-breaking black men. If the standards of private morality and industrial efficiency can be raised high enough among the black race, then its future on this continent is secure. The stability and purity of the ho::e is vital to the welfare of the black race., as it is to the welfare of every race. NEIGHBORS CAN HELP MOST. In the next place, the white man, who, if only he is willing, can help the colored man more than all other white men put together, Is the white man who is his neighbor, North or South. Each of us must do his whole duty without flinching, and if that duty Is national it must be done in accord ance with the principles above laid down. But in endeavoring each to be his brother's keeper it is wise to re member that each can normally do most for the brother who is his ir mediate neighbor. If we are sincere friends of the negro let each in his own locality show it by his action therein, and let us each show it also by upholding the hands of the white man. in whatever locality who is striv ig to do justice to the poor and the helpless, to he a shield to those whose need for such a shield is great. CRUSADE AGAINST LYNCHING. The heartiest acknowledgements are due to the ministers, the judges and law officers, the grand jurors, the pub lic men and the great daily news papers in the South, who have recent ly done such effective work in leading the crusade against lynching in the South; end I am glad to say that dur ing the last three months the returns as far '-s they can be gathered, show a sa'- r number of lynchings than for any ot' r two mornths during the last twenty years. Let us uphold in every way the hands of the men who have led in this work, who are striving to dc all their work in this spirit. I am about to quote from the address of the Right Reverend Robert Strange, bish op coadjutor of North Carolina, as given In the Southern Churchman of October 8, 1904: MUST MAINTAIN RACE PURITY. The bishop first enters an emphatic plea against any social intermingling of the races: a question which must, 01 course, be left to the people of each comnunty to settle for themselves. as' in such a matter no one community nl indeed no one individual-can dic tate to any other; always provided thai in each cality men keep in mind the fact that there must be no confusing of civil privileges with social inter course. Civil law must not regulate so al praies, o ciety, as such, Is a law unto Itself, and will always regulal its o0,ln practices and habits. Fu recognitJn of the funda,:ental . _ that al. m' n should stand on an equt floting. as regards elvil privileges, i no way interferes with r,ognition the further fact that all reflectin men of both races are united in feelin that race purity must te maintainet NATIONAL DiST!N AIE.

I claim th i'igiht to feel pride in his great qualitie and in his great (ieeds exactly as I fe' pride in the great qualities and deeds c every other American. For weal or fo woe we are knit together, and we sha go up or go down together: and I be lieve that we shall go up and not dowr that we shall go forward insted of hall ing and falling back, because I hav an abiding faith in the generosity, th courage, the resolution, and the coi: mon sense of all my countrymen. PROBLEMS WILL VANISH. The Southern States face difficu problems; and so do the Norther States. Some of the problems are th same for the entire country. Othei exist in greater intensity in one sec tion; and yet others exist in greati intensity in another section. But in th end they will all be solved; for fundh mantally our people are the sam throughout this land; the same I qualities of heart and brain and han which have made this republic what is in the great today; which will man it what it is to be in the infinitel greater tomorrow. I admire and rE spect and believe In and have faith i the men and women of the South 2 I admire and respect and believe i and have faith in the men and a ime of the North.

SLe;w Wallace, author, ex-minister to Turkey, and veteran of th? Mexican a an:1 civil wairs, died at his home in this -(:ity. at &: 10 o'clock Wednesday night, aged 78 years. The health of General Wallace has been waning for several y years, and for months it has been gen r erally known that his vigorous consti tution could tot much longer with stand the ravages of a wasting dis fease. e For more than a year he has been unable to properly assimilate food, and this, together with his extreme age, s made more difficult his fight against e death. At no time has he ever con fessed his belief that the end was near, f and his rugged constitution and re r markable vitality have been responsible for prolonging his life. Besides his physician, only Mrs. Wal lace, his son, Henry Wallace, of In e dianap'-11s, and his wife, were present. e When told by his physician that he was dying, General Wallace was per fectly calm and his last words were expressions of cheer to his grief stricken family. Bidding them farf e well, he said, "I am ready to meet r my Maker," and lapsed into uncon sciousness, from which he did not re e cover. No definite funeral arrange ments have been made. a General Wallace was born at Brook d ville, Franklin county, Ind., in 1827. He t served in the Mexican volunteers. Dur y Ing the civil war he commanded a division of the Federal army at the capture of Fort Donelson, and was pro moted major general of volunteers in a March, 1862.
