Nov. The president has sent the following communication to a prominent citizen of Charleston. S. marked personal: WHITE HOUSE. WAkHTNGTOi, Nov.

26. 1902. My Dear Sir: I am la receipt of your letter of November 19. and of one from Mr. under date of November 11, In reference to the appointment of rr.

Crum jta collector of the port of Charleston, i In your letter you make certain specific charges against Dr. Cram, tending to, chow bis unfitness tn several respects for the office sought. These charges are entitled to the utmost consideration from roe, and shall gt over them carefully before taking any action. After making' these charges you as a further reason for opposition to him. that he is a colored man.

and after rec Surg the misdeeds that followed carpetbag rule, you say that "we have sworn never again to submit to the rule of the African, and such an appointment as that of Dr. Cram to any such office forces us to protest, unani-; mously against this Insult to the white i blood," and you add that you understood me to say that I would never force a negro on such a- community as yours. I Mr. puts the objection of color first, saying that, he a colored man. and that of Itself ought to bar him from the office.

ta Wrau Idem. In view of those last statements I think I ought to make clear to you why I am concerned and pained by your making them and wht my attitude is as regards an such appointments. How any one could have gained the idea that I had Aseid I would not appoint reputable and upright colored" men to of5oe when objection was made to them solely 11 account their color. I confess I am wholly unable to understand. At the time of my visit to Charleston last spring I had and sauce that time I have made, a number of such appointments from several states in which there is a considerable colored population.

For example, I made one such 'appointment in Mississippi, and another In Alabama, shortly before rcy visit to Charleston. I had at that time appointed two colored men as Judicial magistrates in the Dtetrict of Colombia. I have recently announced another such appointment for Sew Orleans and have Just made one from Pennsylvania. The great majority of my appointments in every state have been: of white men. North and south alike it has been my sedulous endeavor to appoint only men of high character and good capacity, whether white or black.

But it has been my consistent policy in every state where their numbers warranted it to recognize colored men of good repute and standing in making appointments to office. These appointments of colored men hare in no state made more than small proportion of the total number of appointuenfti. I am unable: to see how I can legitimately be asked to nwVe ma exception for South Carol i- 1 no. In South Caroiiu to the four most important positions in the state I have appointed three men and continued in office a fourth, all of them white men i three originally gold democrats i too sTncr.a for Minnesota BEATS GOPHERS IS DESPERATE rrareGLr, x3 to Tletory Over Mara Balky Oa oaeata Great Crowd sees the Game. ralca Michigan 23..

By a score of 23 to Michigan today defeated Minnesota on Ferry field, aad earned the undisputed title to the western football championship. It took seventy minutes of furious play to finish the game. At times both teams, especially Michigan, were brilliant; at times the game on both sides was ragged, but it never ceased to be des- Pte. Tile superiority of the wolverines Over the gophers is not questioned tonight. In the first half they carried the ball 205 yards( compared with eighty-five yards to the credit of Minnesota.

In the second half the Michiganders made, ISO yards against 165 far Minnesota. Minnesota braced wonderfully after Flinn's touchdown and played a better game thereafter than thev had done previously. It was no fault of their determination that they did not score again. It was rather that they were up against a team wonderfully well drilled in defense as well as offense. Michigan Be-sriaa With a Haak.

Michigan made her first score after ten minutes of play in the first half. Weeks won the toss and chose the west goal, which was favored by a rather stiff wind. Heston. Herrnstein. Graver and Maddock.

the last named hurdling like a kangaroo, smashed the gophers line back to Minnesota's one yard line. The attacks were directed mostly against left tackle, which seemed total-Iv incapable of coping with the diversified form in which the Michigan men came at them. With only a yard to gala for a touchdown Michigan ait the line, but the play stopped there. A cheer went up from the Minnesota rooters. Another grinding mass play, and the first score of the western charapioTHbip contest had been recorded.

This was the only touchdown the game made on straight line bucking. Sweeley converted it Into a FoaLand the score was Michigan S. Minnesota, ft. The Michigan supporters, whlctl -eluded nearly every one present, cheered and waved their flags, but It remained for Heston, who was destined to be the star of the game, to electrify them. Hard play had carried the ball in Michigan's possession to Minnesota's twenty-yard line.

Maddock disjointed the Minnesota Hne in his vicinity, and the quick-eyed Heston sawjhe hole and went through it like a streak. Two men missed him as he went through. With a burst of speed which brought every one to bis feet. Heston circled towards the side lines and by a hairbreadth escaped Harris- He ran squarely behind the goal posts and a moment later the bulletin board showed: Michigan 12. Minnesota a.

Northweatsra Total Nebraska's goal bas not been crossed this season. The Thanksgiving gam with Northwestern resulted in a scors of 12 to in Nebraska's favor and her year's record Is dean. The game was witnessed by the largest crowd ever gathered on the Nebraska It was a close contest, much closer than the supporters of the scarlet and cream were looking for. Tha men from Northwestern played the best game of tha year and Nebraska did not, make as good a showing as usual. Tha battle was full of close situations and there was grave danger at times that the purple would score.

That this did not occur Is due to lack of skill on tha part of the visitors and the ability of Nebraska, to null herself togetber at critical times. One thing man the remembrance of the game. Many believe Umpire Hall acted without cause In frequently penalizing the cornhuskers. It cost a touchdown already earned and tha loss of the ball on many occasions. At the start Nebraska played fast ball, her backs finding tha Northm-est-ern line a wide meshed sieve.

NorthwesiTm enrly took a strong stand and forced Nebraska to punt and on securing the ball start el her tan iera-forraatiea on tackles which during the entire game, was the most continuously successful ground gainer. Nebraska waa weak at left and where Follmer, a light man. tried to fill the place of Sbedd, a star end.

Aa the play advanced Northwestern made nwn frequent gains In this spot, Nebraska having partially solved tha tandem formation. Northwestern won several opportunities to kick goal from fieid but two were lost on fumbles, the Nebraska ends reaching Baird with the as it was snapped back. Icbtaaka at Dlaaaraatace. The cornhuskers on several occasion a seemed to be unable to resist the charges of the purple warriors. Once or twice the line seemed to go to pieces and occasionally an opening was found which other teams this year did not locate.

The men were not playing their -game. Northwestern hainmered constantly at the weakest defense, and -made the most of her advantage. When. Nebraska did wade Into her opponent, she waa repeatedly penalized, causing losaes of the ball that made the rootera sick. The visitors were penalised four times, to eleven for Nebraska, seven of the latter being- for alleged holdinj which caused a loss of the balL It was discouraging work for the cornhuskers and their game 'showed it.

But they held up their end against these odds. Their team work was never Interfered with. They pounded the Northwestern line unmercifully and always tnada gains. Northwestern held Nebraska tor downs three times only and In straight football made gains of 124 yards to for The trouble waa that Nebraska waa kept doing her work all over again through repeated leases of the ball un. decision.

There will always be a difference of opinion as to these deeistona but the cornhuskers say many of them were unfair. Umpire Hall ts an alumnus of Illinois university. He was chosen at the suggestion of North-: western. Nebraska selecting Referee) Clark.

Baluster la While the Nebraska men were indignant at their treatment, the Northwestern players left the field claiming that they had received rough treatment. Coach HoOister said: "It was the roughest treatment we have received in any game this season. I suppose the better team won. but the Nebraska team Is weaker than we bad been led to believe. They lost no opportunity to mistreat our men even to- in un Nebraska was able to break the Northwestern Hne at center aofl also tried tackle plays with quite as much frequency as her opponents.

Her mass on tackle formation were not as successful aa the straigha Bne smashes of Mickle and Engtehart. Nebraska's team work was noticeably excellent, this being tha characteristic feature of the season's work. Bell and Bender the two halves, with Jlickle at full were the around gainers.

Booker T. Wasaiagtan Corrects a Mlaappreheaaiea. BIRMINGHAM. Ala Nov. 27.

The following letter has been received by the Age-Herald from Booker T. Washington: "To the Editor of The Age-Herald: I notice that several newspapers have connected my name with political matters in such a manner as to show that my position not. understood. I desire therefore to make the following statement: -My life work Is the promotion of the education of my race. It is well known that.

I have always advised my people that It Is of supreme importance, at this period of their development, that they should concentrate their thought and energy on the securing of homes, the cultivation of habits of thrift, econ omy, skill, intelligence, high moral character, and the gaining of the respect and confidence of their neighbors, white and black, both in the south and north. From such teaching and council no influence can ever divert me. "What cooferenoes I have had with the president or with any public official have grown out of m) position, not as a politician, but as an educator. It snouid be bora in mind that there are about nine millions of negroes in the United States, who are liable under the law for taxss and military service, and who are puidshabi for infraction of the law. These people at present have no member of their r2ee in the national law-making body, and It is right that those charged with making and executing the laws of the land should at times seek information directly from the members of the negro race, when their interests and relations with the whites among whom they live are concerned.

"Under no circumstances could I seek to promote political candies des or volunteer information regarding men or measures, no 9 hare I done so in the past, because of the importance I have always aought to place upon education and industry among my people as -the bases for friendly relations between the races there may be occasions tn the future, aa there have been In the past, when. If I am so requested. I can give Information obout men and measures, which would tend to promote suea friendly relations between the races. Such information it is my duty to give when it is asked for. "At every proper opportunity I say to the youth, of our people that they will make a mistake if they seek to succeed In life by mere political activity of the hope of 'holding political office.

Now and then, however, public questions affecting our interests arise which are so fundamental and far reaching that they transcend the domain ot politics. When such questions present themselves; in justice to my race, I make my p-ition known and stand for what I see to be the right. cannot elevate and-make useful a race of people until there is held out to them the hope of reward for right living. Every revised constitution throughout the southern states has put a premium upon intelligence, ownership of property, thrift aad character. "As an educator, and not as a poll-' tician.

I strive tn every honorable and rational way to encourage the wise and enduring progress of my people; for if all inspiration and huve ward is to be denied them, they will be deprived of one of the greatest in- centives to intelligence, industry and righteousness. On the other band, if they are encouraged in sensible and i conservative directions they will grow I year by year into contentednesa and usefulness, Signed) "BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

DETROIT, Mich. Nov. 27. In a furious southwest gale on Lake Erie Sun-Cay night the steamer. Sylvan us J.

Macy Sprung a leak off Fort Burwell, OnL, and plunged to the bottom, probably carrying her entire crew with her. The. barge Mabel Wilson, which was being towed by the Macy. broke away from the steamer in the darkness and succeeded in waning up the lake to Am-herstburg. where she arrived this The only names of the crew obtainable at the office of the owners of the Macy are as follows: M.

W. GOTHAM, Richland City, Wis, captain. GOTHAM, son of captain, mate. T. GREGORY.

Detroit, first engineer. GEORGE WEBB, second engineer. JOHN NUGENT, Algoma, wheelman. As the personnel of the crew of the steamer changes at nearly every port visited a complete list is not available in the office. The' crew of the Macy probably numbers eighteen as that is the number necessary to man a ship of her size.

The first news of the disaster was oy J. j. Aaterson of tne I steamer juongnt, wmch passed up the river early this morning. Sne reported having passed through five miles of wreckage yesterday, thirty miles southwest of Long Point, parts of the cabin, life preservers and doors of some vessels. The cabin was painted white, but there were no distinguishing marks to tell what vessel it was from.

The arrival of the Wiison, however, leaves no doubt but that the wreckage is from the Macy, as the last seen of that steamer was in the near vicinity. The Macy, with the Wilson in tow, left Buffalo last Saturday with a earao of coal When half way as Lake Erie the gale wa encountered and when abreast of Port Burwell the tow hne of the barge was thrown off by the crew of the Macy. leaving the schooner to shift for herself. When last seen by the crew of the Wilson the Macy was laboring heavily in the sea and was evidently making for shelter. If the crew had time to leave their ship before the plunge to the bottom it is not believed that the small boats have lived long in the terrible sea running.

That nothing has been heard of them has convinced the owners that ail are lost. HATE CilTEX IT rp FOR LOST. Lake SSemaeer aaasaekk lima ta Have Sank. CHICAGO, Nov. 27.

Michigan IX Minnesota 0, and the first half over The Seeaaa Half.

The first half developed marked superiority of the wolverines over the gophers, they excelling both In offense and defense. At times Minnesota would hold the wolverines in their tracks only to give way for five or ten yards at the next smash. iAt no time was the Michigan goal In danger. Shortly before the half dosed Hen too gave the Minnesota rooters, a. severe shock by threatening to make another run -down the field, and they gave a great sigh of relief when Schacht, by a beautiful dive, got the plunging Mich- i igan half back, by the ankle and held him as in a vise.

"I do not Intend to appoint any -unfit man to office.

Such an attitude would, according to my convictions, be fundamentally wrong, ilf, as yon hold, the great bulk of the colored people are not yet fit in point of character and influence to hold such positions. It seems to me that it is worth while putting a premium upon the, effort among them to achieve the character and standing which will fit them. "The -question of "negro domination' does not enter into the matter at all. It might as wen be averted that when I waa governor of Neir Tork I aought to brina- about negro domination fax That state because I appointed two colored men of good character and standing to responsible positions one of them to a position paying a salary twice as large as that paid in the oSce sow nnder consideration ore of them as a director of the Buffalo exposition.

Heston made Michigan's last score, breaking through Minnesota on the thirty-yard line and running down the field without once being in imminent danger of a Minnesota player.

It was the universal comment after the game that Michigan's superior speed and team work earned the victory, i Minnesota depended on grinding plays, but the Michigan Hne, although lighter, was still heavy enough and better still, skilful enough to bold when a stand waa necessary. Ann Arbor waa crowded with an out-of-town contingent large and boisterous beyond precedent. Hotels and boarding- houses were swamped. Spe cial trains from Minnesota brought five hundred loyal rooters for the beefy gophers. Nearly, the whole student body oC the Ann Arbor Institution were pi i lit.
