Pensions for Slave Demanded by Negroes in Georgia
Special to The New York Times. Three Negro clergymen urged President Roosevelt to back a law pensioning former slaves. The move aims to split Northern Black votes from the Republican Party and builds on earlier Lily White tensions. National Industrial Council backing could push an independent Black party, seeking funding and policy gains ahead of 1904. Georgia figures report postmaster firings tied to Blackmail and political pressure by Black chairmen, with White officials fearing coercion and impeachment threats.

Consul Mahin notes 1901 data show 700 of 1000 pounds of British beef were home grown, with small overseas live cattle and refrigerated imports, suggesting live cattle bans could be mitigated by refrigerated stock.
