THE NEGRO EXODUS.
Closing OF n @Reruge" ut 1t. Louls.-N
Abatement In the ExoduS

Closing or n "Refuge" nj ct. LouIs.-No
Abatement In the Exodus.
sr. LOUIS, July 2O.-several weeks ago
the President OF the Western Sanitary
Committee, James Yeatman, undertook
the temporary relief of negro refugees ar
riving here from the South. The old
Eagle foundry near the landing was fitted
up with hunks and cooking facilities and
those who came from below found haven
until such time as they could get away To
Kansas or find homes in and about St,
Louis.
Last evening this refuge was closed.
There were about hundred refugees still
stopping there, and they removed their
baggage TO the levee and Camped for the
night. To-day these and hundred more
who came up on the City Of Alton left on
the Kinney for Kansas. Later the Grand
Tower arrived with party froms Bolivar,
Miss. There was no place provided for
them and they are camped on the wharf.
Mr.. Yeatman says the closing OF the re-
fuge was neCessitated by failing funds
He undertook the work, thinking the EXC.
dus would be OF short duration, and that
those who did come could be relieved at
comparatively small expense. 1t was
purely work Of philanthropy with him.
Instead OF falling of, he says, the
exodus continues as strong as ever,
and there is no prospect Of its
stopping. He has expended over $4,000
in simply giving temporary relief. Hehas
no more means at hand 10 continue the
work, and has appealed to the city au-
thorities in vain. He says an effort will
be made 10 inform the negroes in the
South, who may be contemplating emf.
grating, that they must not expect any
help in st. Louis.
