Tries to Make Himself Clear on the Race Question.
San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 10.—John Dowie and his six deacons leave here to-morrow for San Francisco on his trip to Australia. He attended the opening of a hotel at a near-by resort to-day and entered his protest against the lavish silver service and the stuffed pig on the menu.
This afternoon Dowie addressed about three thousand people in a local auditorium. He wanted to make himself clear on the race question. He said that the Anglo-Saxon race is superior to the negro race, but that there was a time when the black brother was superior to the white, and the white man should be just to the negro and endeavor to lift him up. Dowie found fault with the southern people in that they were not up to date, and he ridiculed the slow time by the railroad whose guest he has been during the past several days.
His only reference to the prospective establishment of a Zion City and plantation on the Texas coast was contained in the statement that at some near date he might become a neighbor of the people of San Antonio.
