The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers the weakness of the permanent Chairman, or by some underhand arrangement, he was allowed to speak on the floor. His speech created something a little short of a riot. He was greeted with catcalis, and cries of ''put him out.'' The women wanted to mob him. The entire ''push'' was strongly reminded that New York was not the place to assail you. They all fell to defending you, and turned on the very man they had encouraged to come there to assail you. My impression is, that ''the lawyer'' and ''the bishop'' arranged the assault with the intention of defending you, and thus demonstrating the importance of the work they are doing in your interest. Else why clid they confine the call to New York, New Jersey and New England, and give the Trotter people the management of the New England wing? Sabe? The New York papers ignored it almost completely. The ''Sun'' was the only paper to notice the row. All told, it was a farce and a fizzle. Look out for letters from ''high clerics'' telling you how strenuously they defended you.

ToMrs.A.F.D.Grey~ Tuskegee, Ala., cat June 5, egos] Dear Madam: A story of persecution, of outrage and massacre of any people should never fail to stir the deepest sympathy of all right-thinking men and women of every nation, regardless of race, creed or form of government. The report that has come of the horrors of KishineR is shocking to the last degree, and civilization justly revolts against the cruelties that have been visited upon the heads of a people so law-abiding and peace-Ioving as the Jews. ~68
