to the Disgust of Thousands of People.
MADISON, Ind, Feb. 15.-Beavers took
little nap early this morning. but rested un-
easily. On waking up he shaved and!partook
of hearty breakfast, and seems in good
spirits. The Jail and court house yards are
guarded by thirty detectives armed with
muskets. Large crowds began to gather
early this morning.
Beavers spiritual advisers and number
of ladies' held prayer meeting in his cell
this morning, commencing at O'Clock and
continuing until II. He took a short nap at
o'clock this morning, and awaking he
knelt in prayer with the bailiff and the barber,
who shaved him. He was brought
to the scaffold at Ills. Rev.
Chas. Linsley made short prayer.
Beavers did not say word but moved his
lips while the minister was praying in his
behalf. Just as the town clock had struck 3
times out of II, he was swinging between
heaven and earth. He died without strug-
gle. At 1918 the doctors pronounced him
dead. The fall broke his neck. Thousands
of people were around the court house and
jail, on the house-tops, and in the trees, but
could not see anything, as he was hung in
| side of a constructed Enclosure.
Beavers made a full confession of his guilt
| to an old army comrade some weeks ago,
which was made public after his execution

THE COLORED RACE.
Good Advice Given by Fred Douglas
X r. HAYES.

Good Advice Given by Fred Douglas and
Il. Ii. Hayes.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-On the occasion
yesterday of the presentation of steel en-
craving of Carpenters picture of signing
the emancipation proclamation to Howard
University, Fred Douglas made speech in
which he said, among the faults of his peo-
pie were their self indulgence, love of ease
and improvidence. They must learn to
spend their little earnings judiciously. If
one cannot get up hill, he will be helped
down. They had a fair chance to get up.
The negro was on his way to Congress, and
he thought that if the negro could stand
Congress, Congress ought to stand the negro.
The colored man has been forced up by
abnormal conditions, but they were coming
up gradually by their own efforts.
President Hayes made speech in which
he said, 81 agree with all that has been said.
yet it occurred to me that Mr.. Douglas
made modest estimate of his race when he
said they don't build ships, they don't build
the domes you see. But who did build
them? Such men as Adams and Sumner
made their fame by their speeches under
that dome and the speech your colored bro
ther has made is better than making domes.
But that is not my message. ! would say,
the wisdom, righteousness, and grandeur
of A. Lincoln's act of eman-
cipation no one will deny. That
it has conferred infinite blessings on every
country on both races, on the world, very
few questions. This estimate of the act and
of its good results will not be changed by
good conduct or bad conduct of either race.
But it is said that the greatness of the bless
ing conferred on the colored race depends on
their conduct. What they most need is what
Burns calls the glorious privilege of being
| independent. What this requires is willing
ness to labor and self denial to save in fruits
of labor, My young colored friends, let this
then be among your good resolutions: l
will work and will live to the end that
may become Independent. The speech was
enthusiastically received.

When the name of Edmunds was called he
said he was pared on this bill with the Senator
from Kansas, Ingalls,. That Senator was in
favor of the bill pure and simple as it came
from the House, and he Edmuuds, did not
know but he was too, if we were to have it at
all.
Senator Wallace submitted the following
amendment to that of the finanance committee:
''And one hundred millions of dollars shall be
coined during three years from this date, and
if the average notify pure gold paid for said
silver bullion during the last twelve months
thereof shall be less than 97-100 of dollar, the
secretary of the treasury may suspend such
coinage until further action by Congress.
Senator Ferry inquired if the effect of this
amendment would not be to intimate there
would be a depreciation in silver. He did not
believe there would be; but if it did, it would
be time enough to correct the evil after it
shall have taken place.
Senator Thurman also opposed the amend
ment and agreed that the effect of it would be
confidence in what it was doing.
Senator Window favored the amendments
and said he desired to have the silver dollar
equal in value to the gold dollar. In answer to
a question of Senator Thurman he said SEN
ator Window was bad man to get informa-
ton from. He would say that he the only
man who would say publicly that he did not
know anything this subject. Laughter. I
The amendment was rejected by rising VOTE

The question was then taken on the amend
ment of the finance committee to strike out of

A special from Constantinople reports
that the headquarters of the army of defense
will be removed to Stefanos. The Turks are
hurr1edly erecting earthworks on the kujuk
Chekmejka line of defense.
st. Petersburg correspondent says he
has been informed shat peace negotiations
are now practically interrupted, for since the
appearance of the British men-of-war in the
sea of Marmora, the Turkish plenipoten-
tiares declare complete autonomy for Bull
garia is inadmissable. The correspondent
adds: This statement may be regarded as
official. 1t probably means that the Porte
objects to the extent of territory which Russia
wished included in Bulgaria. The same
authority informed him that Russia, in
Difference to Austria, was willingDD limit
the time of occupation of Bulgaria to
maximum of two years, and consent to the
reorganization of Bulgaria by the interna-
tional commission, but insists that the Sui
tan's direct jurisdiction in Europe should be
limited to a strip of territory on the shore of
the straits.
ENGLAND's ASSURANCES TO TURKEY.
A Paris correspondent guarantees the cor
rectness of the following from CONSTANT
nople: To prevent the Turks from firing
on the fleet, England was obliged to give as
surances that it came for protection of Turk
ish, as we'll as British interests. There was
at first sc me talk of small philo- English
party among the Turks resisting Russian
occupation, but perseverance in this intention
is most improbable. The same correspond
ent denies the report that Baron Won Man
teutfel is going to st. Petersburg.
