CoLoREp POPULATION OF OHlo.-The
recent census dIscloses some remarkable
facts connected with the seulemen, Of The
colored race in Ohio. In Cincinnati, where
thai class oil persons in 1910, constituted ono
twentieth pan ol the community, they num-
Der al present but one lhiry-sixth part. In
The northern par,--,he Western Reserve,
for example-lhey constitute a much small
lr share; being in Cuyohoga county, in
l44; in Portage, in 400; in Ashlabua and
Medina, / in 7OO in Huron and Trumbull,
less than in 1000, and in Geauga there are
but in the entire population OF l7,823 per-
sons. The settlements Of the colored people
appear 10 be all within reasonable distance
from the Ohio river border, but not so lar
north as 10 locae them in The higher laItudes
of the State.

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

A private letter from a friend in London
informs us ,ha, MIR. ASA WHITNEY's scheme

tened with the creates! interest 10 Mr..
Whi,ney's explanations. and have expressed
their satisfaction al their novelty and prac.
ticality. AT the same time he has had in

proffered him all the means necessary iol

is large and will prove etficacious--wllh the
Government and the Hudson's Bay Com
pany in order 10 secure the grant, which
will be- made substantially on the same
