Th pressure at the White House for re cognition of the colorel race is grow ing ar.d the President is soundin; sentiment in the Senate as to what h may expect in future nominations. . "I am not an enemy to the coloret man," continued Senator Vardaman "but I unhesitatingly assert that po litical equality for the colored rao leads to social equality. "I expect to favor and urge tin enactment of laws for this countr; that will make perfect the social am political segregation of the whiti and colored races. We cannot nov follow the idea of Lincoln and sent the colored man away to a country o his own. The next best thing, there fore, is to bring about complete seg regation." OIL-BRIYKX WARSHIPS. Grimy and Perspiring Stoker Ma; Become Relic of the Past. During th~ recent naval manoeuv res several 01' the British dread noughts were drivep by liquid fuel oil taking the place of coal. In man: "quarters it is prophesied that we art on the eve of a new naval era, anc that the authorities are shortly tc equip our battleships with oil-burning plant, coal being dispensed with for propelling purposes. This forecase supported by the fact that tht first sea lord is at present working on a plan to place great oil tanks along the British coast for the use ol the navy. The manner in which oil is used for propelling purposes on battle ships is very simple. The oil is sprayed with a current of air through burners so placed that the jets 01 flame impinge upon fire bricks in the furnace of the boilers. The heai obtained in this manner is enormous steam can be got up in a few minutes by turning on a tap. Two men wil be able to attend to a nest of watertube boilers heated by oil, which would require a dozen stokers and rimmorc t<-? kppn sroine with coal. Among the many advantages oi oil as a fuel is the ease with which it can be transported. Oil can be pumped from one ship to another and thus can easily be transferred ai sea even in rough weather. At pres ent coaling at sea in anything but a perfect calm is an extremely dangerous operation. So convinced are the authorities that oil will prove the future driving force for British battleships that during recent years they have erected huge oil fuel storage tanks at Turnchapel. near Plymouth, on the .Medv ay and at various naval bases ai home and abroad. The grimy and perspiring stokei will be a relic of the past if oil fuel comes into general use in the navy One of the greatest advantages o; this form of power is the elimination of the ash and clinker which is lef 1 behind by coai. It is this grit anc coal dust which render the atmos phere of the average stokehold so un bearable. Oil fuel produces no sucl waste material as this, it does noi throw off great heat from the fur naces and all the stoker will have t( do will be to look after a numbei of taps, instead of shoveling masse: of coal into the fiery furnaces. Although oil is slightly more ex pensive than coal, w.hich latter i: every year increasing in price, in tin long run it will make for economy About sixteen tons of oil generate: as much steam as 25 tons of coal. An instance of the economy of oi fuel occurred recently when a steam er burning oil fuel was taken froii Hull to London with only one Chi nese in the stokehold. One important reason why the na val authorities are in favor of oi fuel is that it would greatly increas< the accommodation on board our bat tleships. In dreadnoughts propell ed by coal an enormous amount o space is taken up by bunkers, and tin accommodation necessary for a larg< number of stokers. With oil fue much of this space would be availabh for storing ammunition and an extn number of seamen and gunners coul( be carried.?Pearson's Weekly. I I GOVERNMENT VAULTS ROBBER. ! ! I i i I . S.

This fear comes from > the fact that the Catholics control . e I the Associated Press, which is the life-blood of the daily paper. The i editors of these journals are not in ^ 1 sympathy with Catholicism, but they dare not speak their honest senti- . 1< f ments in their columns. There is no Si i excuse for the weekly papers to be | > silent for they are in no way, shape ^ , or form dependent on the associated : press, but many of these papers echo - the sentiments of the dailies, and i desire to appear broad minded, how ever narrow and hidebound they may I really be. It is a pity the principle t > purveyors of the life and thought of e ; our time are thus muzzled by any i - particular sect or organization. This n I is no Catholic country. The vast circulation of the Menace, an ex- t - tremely bitter sheet, shows how p i strong an anti-Catholic sentiment is : c among the rank and file of our peo- i v pie. The furor that was raised over a 1 the action of the Charlotte school . board, recently, because it saw fit j t : not to employ two Catholic young | t i ladies to teach, and the profound t silence of the press, except those I papers that censured the board, - shows how well the Catholics man- y - age to manipulate public sentiment i in their favor in a state almost solid- I I ly anti-Catholic. This thing of re- a - fusing to elect teachers because they o ) are Methodists, Baptists. Presbvteri- '3 r ans and Episcopalians, is done every 1 s 5 year. Some school boards, being all j t members of one church, sometimes ! r - elect only those teachers that belong j s to their own denominations, and no ! ? lawyers ever appear in anybody's be. half and no screaming headlines tell I . 5 the story to the waiting world. But i 1 I 8 r 1 of persecution is immediately raised j - and the dailies an dtheir sycophants j 1 read solemn letters to the men who I c - dare discriminate against a great de-; nomination. Perhaps the Catholic - church is not strengthened by such 1 tactics, but it is tiresome to see news- j 1 ! I ? papers appoint themselves the de-; - fenders of the faith, and deliver their j - preachment in favor of liberty of f speech and action, the eternal sepa? ration of church and state, and other j s ancient axioms The Catholics have j 1 our newspapers, that is our daily pa-' u * pers. nailed down hard and fast, but \ v a they are not winning any recruits \ i among the people.?Charity and > Children. i s 1 DIVERS SEEK TREASURE. j [ best of Gold that Sank in 1820 j May f>e Recovered. Untold lost treasures, lost at sea in ; $20. are now being sought by the ; atest development of physiological cience and the enterprise is stirring j ip France from centre to circumfernce. In cafe. club, restaurant; on boule-1 -ard. Champs Elysees and Avenue j J>es Accacias. nothing is being talk- j >d of but the lost treasures of the Bay of Biscay. It has a special interest for Amercans. The lost treasure came from \merica; the ship which bore it .ailed from America. The basis of he treasure story is briefly this: During the French revolution the _"ount de Saint Paul, instead of flyng to England like most of the emigres. went to America. There he rrew enormously wealthy, and with lis wealth he decided to return to ?is native land. For, though he lik d the country which had given him ipportunity and hospitality, a proud >eauty of Brittany held his heart aptive. So he resolved to return and place lis heart and fortune at the feet of ler whose dark eyes haunted him in 11 his wanderings. His wealth consisted of precioustones, mostly diamonds, and gold iars. All were carefully packed away n an enormous cotter specially conducted for the treasure. The count bartered a three-masted schooner, .e .Teune Henri, to carry home his s iamonds and gold i Their value is said to have been t least $20,000,000. The good ship weathered all storms until it reachd the Bay of Biscay, in the vicinity f the Island of Oleron. off the shore f Brittany. Here within sight of the Port of it. Dennis, the good ship Le Jeune lenri was wrecked, and with it the ortune of Count de Saint Paul. Withn sight of land a mutiny broke out. ome of the rough sailormen, madlened with vigil, work and rum, ranted to confiscate the mysterious reasure in the big box. The captain was a fierce man, who new no par'ey but the pistol. The atives say he armed himself with 11 the pistols in his armory, and he nd his mate and his first officers hot and killed murderous mutineers ntil there were hardly any left to e drowned. And the inhabitants ase their statement upon the tradiion that the bodies of the sailors ashed ashore were middled with buljts. ? Happily for himself, the Count de _ aint Paul was delayed in the New 1 ^'orld to puchase some presents for i is lady love in Brittany. This saved ' is life. He took passage by another teamer, only to learn when !ie reach- 1 d Brest of the wreck of all his forLine and hopes. The woman who, more than any- ^ ody else, is pressing this search or the lost treasure, is Mile Guil- i ird de Saint Paul, a collateral de- I cendant of the emigrant nobleman. -Paris Cablegram to the St. Loius * Republic.
