Mr.. John Wanamaker Gives his I'm
pressions OF Florida.
WHAT HE THINKS OF THE FUTURE OF TIFF
COLORED RACE-A NEW FIELD
FOR NORTHERN
CAPITAL.

Mr.. John Wanamaker has now been
home long enough to have recovered from
the fatigues of his journey, and to have
grappled with the vast accumulation of
business matters which awaited his arri-
val. A busy man at all times, he has
had his hands doubly full since getting
back, and what with his voluminous cor
respondence, his many callers on all sorts
of business, and the ever increasing re-
sponsibilities of the vast concern he con-
trolls he finds every moment of his time
fully occupied.
WHAT HE THINKS OF FLORIDA.
"Glad to see you," he remarked as he
grasped the outstretched hand of the
Ne,c8 reporter. "Well? / am indeed ex-
cept that the rheumatism still fingers a
little in my left hand. Interview? Oh,
no-there is no use in my being inter
viewed for | can add nothing to what
have already said on the subject, but
can find time to answer you any ques-
tons you may like to ask about Florida,
where certainly had delightful time y
How do you regard the future of the
negro-has emancipation brought about
such bcnefcent results as to make them
selves perceptible to visitors -
eyes," responded Mr. Wanamaker,
''there can be no question Of that. From
what l have seen in the South ! have no
hesitation in saying that the position of
the thrifty and industrious negro is very
much better than that Of the poor white.
The negro is ambitious, and being used
to work is constantly more energetic than
the listless and poverty-striken poor white
people. Many of the former slaves are
now owners or renters of small patches
of land, which they cultivate for them
selves and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
This last is the great incentive to work
for them and they are now cheerful and
as a rule contented. One of the most
hopeful signs for the future of the Afri-
can race on this continent appears to me
to be the avidity with which they grasp
at every chance to learn to read and
write. Even in the churches they have
classes for secular education. Yes / be-
lieve that the negro himself is slowly but
surely solving the problem of his future,
and that his solution will prove that he
will become an important factor in build
ing up the South"

NORTHERN LABOR AND CAPITAL.


"What do you think the South needs
to build up her shattered fortunes?"
Northern labor and capital, | think"
said Mr. Wanamaker, sis what is need

"But will the Bourbon clement well
come them?"
"That depends a good deal There is,
of course, considerable soreness felt in
many parts of the South over the result
of the war and the way for Northern
man to get good reception is for him to
be judicious and discreet. One could
hardly expect the people down there to
submit quietly to o man who would be
continually saying: All the Southern
leaders should have been shot, or jeff
Davis ought to have been hanged But
if man goes down there who is Re-
publican and is not of a brawling or ag-
gressive disposition he will be kindly re-
ceived. Yes / had several offers made

News from the Garden CITY.

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-The snow which
began to fall last evening continued all
night at very even rate, and at six
O'Clock this morning there was seven
inches on the ground in the city.
The signal service reports that the
snow storm commenced in northern
Texas, where there was rain also, and
Travelled northward rapidly.
At indianapolis the rainfall am ount-
ed to.S.05. At this point, reducing the
snow to water, the fall was SOP. The
snow in Illinois as far west as Mendoza.
was from7 to s inches deep. West
ward from there to the. Mississippi, it
was gradually increased to Is inches.
In Iowa the fall was less.
There has been great delay on the
railroads; many freight trains were
abandoned and all were greatly de-
layed. On the Lake Shore & Michigan
Central and the Baltimore s. Ohio the
delay on mail and passenger trains is
from two to ten hours. Other eastern
lines are more nearly on time, the
Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago be-
ing notably prompt. OF the western
trains none are on time, but they are
actively working to clear the tracks,
and hope to have the tracks cleared to-
night.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Craw-
ford has given an opinion that the city
council may order the closing up of
Labelle street for the purpose of erect
ing thereon the proposed new board Of
trade building, provided the payment
for damages is made. The question is
not one of power but ex pediency. Ac-
cording to his view, it is probable that
the board will take immediate steps to
secure the passage by the cou neil of an
ordinance to close up that street. A
two thirds vote will be necessary.

of railways, all of which he meditates

Kansas & Texas, St. Louis Sc Iron

less than the ultimate possession of the
Southern Pacific road as soon as it
touches the Texas Pacific road at El
Paso, which is expected in little over
a year.

Nashville. Feb. 1s.-The five Laprode
murderers are now hanging dead to the
railing of the verandah of the court
house. At the close of the Laprode
murder trial tonight the mob rushed
into the court room, took the five MUIR
derers to the verandah of the second
story of the court house. and hung
them. Attorney General Bell tried to
stop them at the door of the court room
but in vain. One hundred shots were
fired during the excitement. Judge
Stark had just charged the jury when
the mob took out the prisoners with
whom the sheriff was about to start to
the Jail.

SENATE.

SENATE.
Washington, Feb. 1S-The following
senate bill was introduced:
By Vest, to incorporate the inter
oceanic railroad company.
The consideration of the funding bill
was resumed and the amendments
made in committee of the whole were
voted OH separately and agreed to.
Blair moved an amendment, restrict
ing the requirement for deposit of
bonds to bank circulation issued after
the first of July next. Defeated.
The fifth section, compelling banks
to deposits three per cents, was re-
tanned.
Bayard's motion, reviving the three
and one-half rate, was defeated.
The bill then passed by a vote of 43
to 20.
All the democrats voted aye, also
Plumb and Saunders.
The senate took up tho District ap-
preparation bill.
Ransom moved the reading Of the
river and harbor bill the second time
with view of its reference to the COM
mittee on commerce.
Edmunds objected.
Ransom then put his request in the
form of motion, which was agreed
to after a vain effort of Edmunds to
have the committee instructed to re.
duce the aggregate of the bill to
81, 100000.
The commerce committee was then
empowered to sill during the sessions
of the senate.
The District appropriation bill was
then taken up and passed. 1t appro-
pirates nearly three and half million
dollars.
Allison, for Chairman Davis wv.
Va.), reported with amendments, the
legislative appropriation bill, and gave
notice, by request of Davis, that the
bill would be called up on Monday OF
Tuesday.
Washington, The house refused-17

A Break for Liberty.

Galveston, Feb. 1S.-Seven American
prisoners in Jail at Paso Del Norte,
Mexico, made break..this morning,
shooting the guard dead and running
toward the American line, but were
overtaken by the guards who fired on
them. The prisoners, being armed,
returned the fire. Three of the prison.
ers were killed and the others surren-
dered. Two of the guards were se-
riously wounded. The prisoners heard
last night that they were to be taken to
chihuahua to-day, and they believed
they were to be shot on the road. Hence
the attempt to escape.

Washington, Feb. 18.-Only four sem
ators, Blaine, Conkling, Carpenter and
Sharon, were absent and impaired at
last nights vote on the funding bill.
Bayard is determined to try to fix 81
per cent as the rate but will certainly
fail, as there will be AZ supporting
three per cent against 20 for 81. Nei-
ther of the abscntees will be here to-
day, Blaine and Carpenter being sick
and the others absent. The discussion
promises to run late this afternoon.
1t is said that Senator Eaton, chair
man of the foreign relations committee,
who has the Chinese treaties in charge,
intends to keep them back till after the
4th of March. There is great deal of
dissatisfaction about the language of
the emigration clause, and it is not be-
lieved there will be time for its proper
discussion this session. No such un-
derstanding was reached or even spoken
of in the committee when the treaties
were under consideration.
A prominent banker who is here
watching the debate on the funding bill
expressed the opinion to-day that if
congress passes the bill providing for
short three per cent bonds and requir-
ing the national banks to take them
and surrender their 41 per cents, many
of the national banks will surrender
their circulation and thus defeat the
object sought. If this should be done
the bonds could not be fioated success.
fully and there would be tight money
market.
Secretary Golf tells his friends that
he has not been asked to remain in the
next cabinet and does not expect to be.
He says he would not continue in his
present position if invited, but would
accept the attorney generalship.
The remains of Fernando Wood ar
rived to-day and are now lying in the
parlor of his late residence. The fune-
raj service tomorrow will be private.
The senate commerce committee will
tomorrow take up the river and harbor
bill and sit day and night until com.
pleted. At the last session it took two
weeks but no such time can be con-
sumed now. The senate will increase
the aggregate considerably and there
will be determined opposition to its
passage in the senate by many republi-
cans aided by few democrats. Its
final passage is somewhat doubtful if
dilatory motions are made.
Leading members of influential COM
mittees Of the house say the funding
bill will pass the house as it came from
the senate without delay. The presi.
dent will doubtless be urged to veto it
and call an extra session on the ground
that it is a risky experiment, and be-
cause the section compelling national
banks to deposit three per cents for
their circulation is oppressive.
The house Indian committee will not
report bill for the relief of the Pom.
cas-, but will request s1GO, 600 to carry
out the agreement with the Poncas.
The vote in detail on the funding bill
on the question OF making three pc,
cents the only bonds receivable as secu.
rity for the circulation of national
banks was as follows: Ayes, Allison,
