A serious riot occurred here - to-day when the crowd of unemployed workingmen resumed their demonstration. The crowd, largely increased in' numbers, met before the legislative building and hooted the ex-rremier, fclr William Whlteway. who was formerly Itheir idol. They marched again to tho dock, where the Tourmaline is lying, to receive tho captain's answer to their petition of yesterday. Capt. Sir Richard Poore, the commander of the war ship, received a deputation and told them that the matter was in the hands of the Governor. . fThe crowd became deeply exasperated and the leaders suggested that the ministers" be Been and 'the suggestion was quickly acted upon. Proceeding to the chamber, the crowd found that their coming had been anticipated, for they found the doors barred against them. Undaunted in their determination, the crowd went to work to force an entrance and doors and windows were soon battered down and ingress "gained. The police attempted to' check the crowd in their work . of destruction, but the officers fared badly in the scuffle that followed and the rioters were, for the time oelng, masters of the situation. Their victory, however, was barren of result, for, after gaining the chamber, they found that the members of the executive were conveniently absent. In the meantime the police force brought reinforcements, but before they arrived the rioters withdrew. Later the crowd again visited the Governor and made another appeal to him, but this was also ineffectual. Then they returned to the legislative bulldlnir. but this time they were unable to force an entrance. They, however, remained on the grounds, demanding relief and bitterly cursing the Governor. Hoping to pacify them Prime Minister Greeno appeared and addressed them. He promised that in two or three days extensive public works would be commenced, sufficient to give all remunerative employment through the winter. His listener refused to be satislied with his promises and demanded that immediate relief be furnished them. When they were told that it was impossible to accede to this demand the leaders of the crowd held a short conference and it was decided to attack the stores on Water street, where large quantities of provisions were supposed to be kept. The first store attacked was Douer's. The place was soon broken open, but the mob was disappointed in rinding no provisions there. Then attention was turned to Steers's stores which were quickly looted of their provisions. At this point armed police, intervened and the mob was driven back at the point of the bayonet. Four men Bussy, Urown, Coady and King the promoters of the riot, were arrested. The crowd displayed an Inclination to attack the police for the purpose of rescuing the prisoners, but the officers prevented this by driving the mob back and then suddenly closing the gates. The police are still inside with their prisoners while the rioters eurround the premises hooting and stoning the officers. The Tourmaline's marines are under orders to land should there be further outbreaks to-night. The City police, foot and mounted are at the frcene. Special police have been sworn in and they are guarding the other parts of the city. ' , The government has offered to resign, feeling unable to face the needs of the situation. Colored Miner Quit Work. MAKSHFIELD, Ore., Jan. 8. All but six of the fifty negro miners who came here from Virginia a week ago to work in the J3eaver Hill coal mines quit work and were taken to Empire City by the white miners. The negroes are destitute and will be cared for by the county until provision is made for sending them back to Virginia. They claim the coal company misrepresented things to them. Films Miles, one of the colored miners, addressed a crowd which had assembled at the wharf to witness their departure. He thanked the people for their kindness nd said: Negroes would never be caught in assisting to run down a white man's wage. Resumed Work and Quit Later. MASSILLON, O., Jan. 5. In pursuance ef an agreement reached last night to accept the terms fixed by the arbitrators, pending a meeting between the operators and miners, the diggers in several mines returned work this morning. They quit at noon, however, the drivers and helpers refusing to work for less than $1.75 a day. The drivers say they are not bound by any award. They will hold a convention tomorrow. SUNKEN BRITISH GOLD. JV'enrly $5,000,000 of It on the Frigate Huasar, Which, Is to lie Raised. WASHINGTON. Jan. 8. The Treasury Department has awarded, to Francis M. Epllck, of East Orange, N. J., the contract for raising the British frigate Huzzar, which struck a rock and foundered off Fort Norrls, or Stony Point, East river, New York, during the revolutionary war.

STATE LEGISLATURES

STATIS OP TUB SENATORIAL, AXD GIIIEKXATOIUAL CONTESTS. IliKKlnx Likely to Defeat Addick In Delaware Waif e Succeeded ljtiov. Mclntyre in Colorado. DOVEH, Del., Jan 8. As the time for the senatorial caucus draws nigh the fight for the nomination grows more bitter. There will be no compromise candidate. Or, at least, that is what the leaders of the opposing forces say. With the Addick3 followers it is "Addicks or nobody," and with the Higgins adherents it is the same Higgins first, last and all the time. Charles L. Moore, one of the organized leaders of the Addicks faction, is sanguine that his candidate will be nominated. He even goes so far as to state Senator Higgins has no more show of being the caucus nominee than he (Moore) has. Senator Robert J. Hanby, of Newcastle county, who, by the way, is the only man from that county who will vote for Addicks, is not so positive of success. From a purely unbiased standpoint, It is hard to see just how Mr. Addicks's lieutenants expect to accomplish the defeat of Senator Higgin3 unless there is some treachery in Sussex county. Leaving Mr. Massey out of the question, the result of the caucus on next Mcnday evening will be probably as follows: Newcastle county, Higgins, 8; Addicks, 1. Kent, Higgins. 1. Sussex, Higgins, 3; Addicks, 6. This will give Higgins twelve votes and Addicks seven. Of course, ithere are liable to be changes in their estimate, but they will be very slight. M'lXTYRB SUCCEEDS WAITE. Sew Governor of Colorado Sworn InHis View on Silver. DENVER. Col., Jan. 8. Governor Waite went out of office and Governor Mclntyre came in to-day. The simple ceremonies were witnessed by a large audience. There was no procession. The incoming and outgoing Governors drove together in a carriage from the Capitol to the Tabor Opera House, where the Legislators had assembled In joint session. The oath was administered to Governor Mclntyre by Chief Justice Hayt. After ex-Governor Waite had spoken a few words of farewell to his hssoclates and of greeting to his successor, Goernor Mclntyre read his inaugural address. On the subject of railways the new Governor said: "If it be the fact. Which can be ascertained by investigation, that unjust discrimination is willfully practiced by railway corporations subject to the legislative control of this State, then legislation should be enacted to prevent It, and such legislation should be wise, just and effective." The Governor pronounced equal suffrage a success. In conclusion, he said: "We do not expect legislation favorable to sliver because it Is the money of the Constitution, nor because we expect sympathy or charity from any source, nor because we, as producers, are interested in enhancing its value, but because its restoration is absolutely decreed by a natural law of commerce that cannot be disobeyed without punishment following. The punishment is being inflicted now. and will become more and more grievous until endurance must cease and blindness and prejudice, design and selfishness must all yield to the crushing force of natural laws. This country must submit first, because its population and the consequent need of commercial expansion will make the friction of clogged exchanges more and more intense. The more acute the trouble the more active the effort to find out the cause. The trouble is that exchanges cannot be freely made because the final medium is Insufficient in quantity. When this is known and appreciated by a majority of the people of the United States, the only remedy there is or can be, will be applied, and silver will be restored at a ratio of 15 to 1, or, perhaps, 15 to 1 that is the ratio which the relative quantities in store indicate 'to be the correct one. With silver restored and her other resources developed, Colorado's people will have an enviable lot." Kansas Legislature Organized. . TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 8. The biennial session of the Kansas Legislature was convened at noon to-day. Chas. E. Lobdell was elected speaker without opposition- In completing the organization of the Senate as agreed in the Popullstic caucus, the incident of the moment was the election of Ben Rich as reading clerk. Rich was chief clerk in the "Dunsmore" House and it was his arrest two years ago that brought the legislative war to a crisis. The Governor's message will not go in till to-morrow and the inauguration, of Governor-elect Morrill will take place on the 15th inst. , . L. D. Lewelling, the outgoing governor, has decided to present to the Senate a list of all his appointees who have not heretofore been confirmed by that body. The purpose of this is to prevent the Republic ans from removing tne Popuhst3 at once, as could be done unless they had been confirmed. " Bndil Not Yet Gorrrnor. SACRAMENTO, Cal., Jan. 8. There is every, probability that before to-morrow night the Republican members of the Legislature, will have declared their intention, and that Governor-elect Budd will know just what opposition he will have to encounter in order to become Governor of California. The Republicans of the Assembly held two caucusses to-day, at which a concurrent resolution providing for the appointment of a nonpartisan committee of five members from each House to in vestigate tne recent gubernatorial election and providing also that Budd be prevented from taking the oath of office pending such investigation, was considered. A resolution that the vote for Governor be canvassed to-morrow was voted down. The Republicans in the Senate also voted down a similar resolution. Illinois Caucus Yomlnees. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Jan. 8.-Republicans and Democratic members of the Legislature held a caucus to-night, and nominated candidates for the various offices. The Republican candidates will, of , course, be selected, that party having a large majority in both houses.

The TennesHee Muddle. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 8. There were no new developments in the gubernatorial muddle to-day. Both parties and their managers seem to be waiting for a move of some kind to be made. The subject was not mentioned in either House of the Legislature, and but little talked of in hotel lobbies to-night. The Reform Party. PITTSBURG, Jan. 8. -The committee of one hundred representing those desirous of forming a new party for the abolition of the liquor traffic and other national evils have issued a call for a national confer ence to take place in Lafayette Hall, PittsDurg, on aiaren h next.

CHICAGO, Jan. 8. An exciting encounter between fifteen soldiers stationed at Fort Sheridan and two village marshals occurred at Highwood. As a result of the fracas three of the soldiers are confined in the hospital and the village marshals are nursing severe wounds. The injured are: Private EDWARD McMAHON, Company G, Fifteenth Infantry, shot in neck and right side; seriously injured. PRIVATE EDWARD WHITE. Company C, Fifteenth Infantry, severe scalp wounds. riii VA1B JOHN HAUCH, Company u, Fifteenth Infantry, shot through right arm. CHAKLKS GORDON, village marshal, severe scalp wounds and cut on forehead. MARSHAL CAULEY. deputy village mar shal, cut in face and scalp wounds. The shooting occurred shortly after 10 o'clock on the main street of the village. The soldiers clajm that the shooting, which was done by Marshal Gordon, was unprovoked. On the other hand, Marshals Gordon and Cauley claim to hava acted in self-defense, and also say that the soldiers were under the influence of liquor. Sergeant Thomas O'Rourke, who is well known as the best-known marksman in the army, was identified as one of the men who took part in the riot, and is now under arrest at Waukegan. One of the men, it is said, had been drinking and started to walk from the town to the fort. According to Marshal Gordon's version, they were boisterous and filled the air with unearthly yeils. Gordon and Cauley started after them to restore quiet if possible. Private McMahon, It is said, struck Marshal Gordon, knocking him down. Then, Gordon claims, several of them jumped on him and kicked him in the head. He drew his revolver . and fired three shots, all of which took effect. When the shots were fired, the men scattered and ran in all directions. Two of the soldiers assisted McMahon, who was badly in jured, in getting away. In the meantime, several of them had attacked Cauley, and, after a lively scrimmage, they were driven away at the point of his revolver. During the fray White was struck on the head with the butt end of Cauley' s revolver.. The soldiers declare that they were attacked without provocation and that the firing was without cause. FOOTPADS IN ELKHART. A Number of Citizens Held Up by u Pair of Rascally Thieves. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELKHART, lnd., Jan. 8. For some time oast .the residents of this place have been terrorized by footpads. One man has been robbed and several have been hurt. A few nights ago Harry Hogendrabler, a wholesale tobacconist, had a 'pistol placed under his nose and was compelled to give up $18. The following night Thomas Bostwlck, a contractor, was assaulted by four young men for the purpose of robbery, but he beat them off and escaped. Last night two masked men assaulted Capt. C. H. Murray, in a lonely spot, presenting a revolver at his head and telling him to throw up his hands. Instead of doing so Murray rushed at them with his cane, after receiving a blow on the head with a stone that almost stunned him. . One of the footpads fired two shots at the Captain, but neither took effect. They then took to their heels, and although chased some distance by Murray they escaped. A short time after the same fellows assaulted a young man named Nisewander. a clerk, and although they pounded him nearly into insensibility with stones they failed to get anything. The sale of firearms has been heavy recently, one firm having sold thirty-eight- revolvers within a few., days to persons who were preparing' "themselves for a hold-up. Several work.ng girls have also been attacked. The perpetrators are suspected to be two wellknown young men. sons of respectable parents, and if they continue In their present line of activity they will probably get hurt. OBITUARY.

BRITISH IN REVOLT

THEY ARE 'OPPOSED TO METHODS OF OUR BEEF EXPORTERS. Protest Against an Attempt to Abolish the Allowance for Shrinkage In Transit and in Cutting? Up. LONDON, Jan. 8. An important and largely attended meeting, called by the meat and cattle section of the London Chamber of Commerce, was held in Memor ial Hall to-night. The meeting was the outcome of the long agitation of the London meat dealers against the attempt of Amer ican shippers to abolish the customary trade allowance of a pound in every quarter of meat to compensate for the lose by shrinkage in transit and in cutting up which is regarded as the thin end of a wedge aiming to capture the control of the London market. Sir Albert K. Rollit, president of the chamber, presided. He said there was not a sound reason for the proposed change, which meant a loss of 100,000 to London and 1,000,000 yearly to the whole country. That was not the worst aspect of the matter. The trade felt that it was the beginning of disastrous changes. The American shippers might soon insist on weighing meat at Liverpool . or on , weighing several parcels to gether, and the benefit would go to the for eigners. He believed that the change would ultimately mean creation here of rings, monopolies and corners that would crush out small dealers. Great . Britain wanted none of these things rings and sugar Senatorsfrom whom the United States suffered. Some people had attempted to do in the State of New York what was threatened here and were only prevented by special legislation. This matter was one in which the whole community was inter ested. There was no occasion to the importation of meat, but there was injury to the food supply of the country to be placed in th hand3 of those who were confederates for their own advantage. These men were already dictating to the trade and seeking to control it from Chicago. They decline to allow other people to make these allwances and refuse to trade with those who did. It was a clear case of exclusive dealing. Sir Albert pointed out what had happened in America and spoke against railway preferences which enabled meat to be sent cheaper from America to London than from the north of Scotland. The dealers organization was powerful and the Chamber o Commerce would assist them in an endeavor to put a reasonable case before Parliament. Resolutions in accordance with the view expressed by the president of the Chamber of Commerce were adopted. The Chronicle says that American exporters have refused to supply meat to salesmen who made the usual trade allowance on American meat to retailers. Some of the speakers at. the meeting had stories to te'.l of bullocks held back at Deptford and of retail shops opened in London and the provinces, which they maintained, pointed to the formation of a meat ring in England, dominated from Chicago. The paper adds: "We . doubt the ability of Americans" to force their peculiar trading methods on England, but anyway the attempt should be carefully . -watched. " In an editorial the Telegraph says: "The gloomy vision of London meat trade being controlled in Chicago ought to arouse the patriotic impulse in the breast of every meat eater in the kingdom. America fortunately is not the only country from which we can obtain a plentiful supply of meat. The attempt to run the market will almost certainly end in disastrous failure." THE ANTI-REVOLUTIOX BILL. Its Debate In the Reichstag; Renewed Condemned by Herr Aner. BERLIN, Jan. 8. The Reichstag reassembled to-day and resumed the debate on the anti-revolution 'bill. Herr Auer said that the government introduced this measure so that in the event of its expected rejection there would be a pretext for a dissolution of Parliament; in order to obtain from a new Parliament increased grants for military purposes. The reason assigned for introducing the bill, that the existing penal law3 were inadequate, was not warranted. (Auer declared such arguments were always used when "ft "was intended to curtail the liberties of ! citizens. The anti-revolutiort bill, he insisted, was solely alrected against the Social Democrats. He disclaimed any connection with Anarchists, and denied that the Socialists were connected with the broadsides recently cited by Dr. RlerherdIng. Auer concluded with the assertion that the Agrarians, anti-Semites and lineal the-' Ologlans could be easily struck by the bill. Not every one agreed that there was a necessity for protecting the monarchy. Large numbers of Germans, he added, favored a republic, and there was a growing tendency towards Byzantine rule which betokens national decadency. But the working classes marched forward with courage and deliberation, while the supporters of the bill displayed the white feather. The debate on the anti-revolution bill will be resumed to-morrow. Emperor William held a parliamentary- reception thi3 evening, with the object of enlisting support for the anti-revolution bill. AXTI-LYXCHIXG COMMITTEE. English People on the Massacre of 'Six Tennessee egroen. LONDON, Jan. 8. The anti-lynching committee of which ?.Ii?s Florence B. Algarnie is secretary, is receiving accessions constantly. . Mr. Justin McCarty, M. P., and chairman cf the Irish parliamentary party is the latest notable recruit. The committee yesterday adopted the following resolutions: - ' The anti-lynching executive committee having heard from undoubted sources in Memphis, Tenn.. New York and Boston, that a jury at Memphis, composed exclusively of whites, refused to convict these of whose guilty complicity (according to the Memphis Commercial-Appeal) there was no moral doubt whatever, in the ghastly, cowardly and brutal massacre of six helpless negroes near Mtllington, Tenn., and having learned from William Lloyd Garrison, of Boston, that it is impossible to find a jury which will convict a white man for lynching a colored man in the South, the committee desires to express to the six widows of the murdered negroes and to all colored people suffering under oppression, its warmest sympathy and the earnest hope that the spirit cf justice irrespective of race mav yat be kindled throughout the United States. "The committee has read with deep satisfaction the powerful denunciation of lynching by Mr. Malcolm Patterson, on behalf of the prosecution." Britishers Rail at Jnpnn. LONDON, Jan. 8. The Times to-day in a leading article on the Port Arthur massacre says: "Not only on the day of the battle and in the heat of victory but for four days after, did the Japanese soldiery give themselves over, apparently without chack from their commanders, to indiscriminate massacre, carried out with every revolting circumstance of primal barbarity. Troops of prisoners, tied, together, were riddled with bullets and then hacked to pieces. Boats crowded ' with fugitives of both sexes and all ages received volley after volley. The streets were encumbered with corpses, showing every ghastly form of mutilation which oriental cruelty has invented. What, perhaps, is the strangest thing of all, showing the total, even if tem porary disappearance of European veneer is the absolute unconsciousness shown by the Japanese officers of the effect of these brutalities on western visitors. At Port Arthur after real fighting and real provocation, the artlncialcies of Hiroshima disappeared like snow in the sun. It recalls the fable of ths cat cnanged into a bsaut: ful woman and who played the part to per fection, until, in the midst of a banquet, a mouse was allowed to run across the table. Tne appeal to fundamental .instincts proved too much for laboriously acquired habits. The woman disappeared and the cat stood revealed. The Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon re ferring to the massacre at Port Arthur says: "The responsibility for the horror rests not with tne Japanese, peasant, whom every! ody knows 13 a. lacquered barbarian, but with Marshal Oyrur.i and his officers. whose civilization professed to go a little deDsr. Whether tney permit ten the out rees or were not unable to check them they were uawcTthy i" eomrnand the arm!e3 or a power which cans useit civilized. Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone Jo to Cannes IONDON. Jan. 8. Mr. and Mrs. Glad stone left London at 10 this morning for Cannes. A large crowd gathered at the rail road station to greet them and cheered the travelers heartily as they appeared and as the train drew out of the station. Among those gathered to see Mr. and Mrs. Glad

stone off for the continent, were several notabilities of the Liberal party, including Sir Algernon West, Lord Welby, Lord Rosebery's private secretary, and Canon Wilbeforce. .. Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone arrived safelf in Paris this evening. They were met a; the railroad station by three Armenians, who. on behalf of the Armenian colony of Pari3, presented Mr. Gladstone with an address of welcome and offered a bouquet to Mrs. Gladstone.

French Force Aisibushed. PARIS, Jan. 8. At a Cabinet council today, M. Delcasse, Minister of the Colonies, announced that he had received a communique from Colonel Moneteil. in command of the French forces in Tonquin, saying that, on Dec. 31, a column formed to protect Hong against Chief Samory was ambushed by Samory's men. Six tireullas (sharp shooters) were killed, including two officers. The enemy, however, was driven off with heavy losses.

The Turkish legation give3i out the following communication: ' . . . "It is, indeed, strange to observe the willingness on the part of some newspapers to wait and see what the Sassoun troubles really were, and who was actually responsible for them. The Sublime Porte has taken all the precautionary measures necessitated by the case, anl there cannot rjossibly remain any reasonable doubt, if not, perhaps, in the iminds of revolutionists and their friends, tHat the appointed commission to investigate this affair will bring about facts as they are in reality. The assertions already made by people connected with the revolt in Turkey are so numerous and so shockingly erroneous that it is truly impossible to answer them all. It Is not true that the Governor of BItlis re cruited soldiers among the Kurds. It 13 not true that women and children were massacred. On the contrary, they, were protected by the soldiery, as it whs the n , fnr- inct'.n with thp wrvmpn near Ku Ruzart.

The stamp of the paper has in the center a hand holding a flag crossed by a dagger, with a red cap and a pen." Number-of Armenians In Turkey. BOSTON, Jan. 8. In reference to the statement officially issued by the Turkish legation at Washington that the total number of Armenian subjects of Turkey was but 900,000, M. H. Guelsian, secretary of the United Friends of Armenia, of this city, has compiled statistics relating to Armenia from reports presented to the Berlin congress in 1876, which he furnishes the Associated Press. He states that according to the reports to the congress the total number of Armenians in Turkey was three million, distributed as follows: In Turkish Major Armenia, 1,330,000; in Armenia minor, 670,000; in Asia Minor, 600,000; in Constantinople and the Balkan peninsula, 400,000. In the district of the Vilayet of Diarbekir, where the massacres were perpetrated, there were 180.0W) Armenians, 160,000 Turks and 40,000 Kurds. The Russian almanac for 1SS7 estimates that there are 1,807,007 Armenians in Russia, 200,000 in Persia and 137,000 in AustroHungary, India, China, America and Africa, a total number of 5,593,907 in the world. Mr. Guelsian asserts that if the statement of the Turkish legation is correct 2.100,000 Armenians have disappeared since 1876. He claims that the legation report is not correct and this deduction is not tenable. He states, however, that It is estimated by good authority that since 1876 22,000 Armenians have been destroyed by Turks and Kurds. Agitators Arrested. CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 8. The newspapers here publish a communication from the commander of the Erzinghlan army corps, announcing the seizure of a quantity of materials prepared by Armenian agitators for the purpose -of starting Incendiary dres. The agitators alluded to have been arrested and their trial by courtmartial ordered. The Vali ot Van has Informed the Porte that am Armenian book seller named Dikran has been arrested at Van on the charge of being in the possession of numbers of seditious books. The Turkish newspapers publish accounts of alleged outrages by Armenians including murders, and declare that the loyal Armenians, "under the just and benetlclent rule of the Porte," reprobate such crimes upon the part of their compatriots. Tweuty-Four Condemned to Death. VIENNA, Jan. 8. Advices received here from Erizinghian, Armenia, say that fortythree Armenians were tried for the alleged murder of a Musselman at Armedan, In the district of the Kemanch. Of this number twenty-four were condemned tr death, in rplte of the fact that some of them produced passports showing that they were in Constantinople at the t'me. Some o5 the accused were sentenced to penal servitude for life and the remainder were sentenced to imprisonment for terms ranging from three to six years. Aetion of the Congregational Union.

Mrs. Grant Talks. Washington Letter. Few perhaps know that General Grant was a slaveholder, but the fact ls that he had several in the State of Missouri, and these were freed, like those in the South, bv the Emancipation Proclamation. "These slaves." said Mrs. Grant, "came to nim from my father's family, for I lived in the West when I married the General, who was then a lieutenant in the army. I lived in the army then for awhile, and afterwards we farmed in Illinois. When the war broke out I followed him to the field. Then fol'owed a period f rest at Washington, and the eight pleasant years we spent in the executive mansion. . "When General Grant was ill he spoke of his last resting place and remarked that it was likely that the people would desire to bring him to Arlington or that his remains should rest at the Soldiers' Home, but he did not wish to be placed In either cemetery for the reason that he wished to lie in death alone where I could rest by his side, and he believed there was a military restriction against any one, except a soldier, being buried in these grounds. The tomb at Riverside Park in New York has progressed a great deal, and I was surprised to see how near it was to completion." Mrs. Grant has on easy, pleasant way of chatting, and there is nothing of conscious pride in her manner, for she, on the contrary, loves the quiet and seclusion of home. Rather short, with a. plump figure, handsomely gowned in black, her personality is pleasing, and she takes a grandmother's pride in the young generation that is growing up around her. A Chunk ot "tVUdoni New Orleans Times-Democrat. The most Important 'missionary work that can be and ought to be done in the South is in the sanitation of the negro districts of the big cities like New Orleans. Some forty million dollars has been given toward the education of the colored race since the war, and twenty odd colleges endowed for their benefit. It would have been far better for the negroes had a portion of the money gone to establish their comfort, health and longer life, for there is little wisdom in teaching the negro youth and allowing them to be carried off each year, as they are by the thousands by diseases easily preventable or curable. Can't some new blood be injected into the trustees of the Peabody fund? . . . . Particular. Harper's Bazar. - "Shall I clean the" snow off. madame?" asked the little boy of the Boston lady.

Police Sergeant Crane, the new appointee of the Board of Safety, was given a rousing reception by the patrolmen at roll call last evening. Crane replied with a speech.
