sat opposite him. Soon the gentlemen
opened conversation with him, and kept
It up for several hours, till they reached

Passing through the crowd in the depot,
my friend noticed number Of gentlemen
taking or their hats To his quondam trav-

Warren Ridiculcd by Socialists.


LONDON, September 27.-The Social
Democrats, having been sustained in their
right to hold public meetings, assembled
in large numbers last night ut the june
ton Of Bell street and Elgsware road,
where the meeting was held at which the
Socialist leader Williams delivered the
speech which resulted i'm his imprisonment.
Sir Charles Warren is much perplcxed by
the situation. He does not like the idea
of being denounced and ridiculed whenever
il may suit the fancy Of Socialists TO in
dulge in such language, and he does not
see his way clear TO its suppression as

who made no attempt 10 interfere with the
proceedings. The speakers chaiied the po-
lice numerically, aud several of them Of

and receive them into the organization ai-
ter they had purged themselves of the stig-

WASHINGTON, ID. G., September 81
Vice Consul TOuhay at Tourin in conclu-
ding q report to the department of State
says the grain growers in that district are
reduced to desperate condition by tax

ton in Italy he says "is growing to be
a great national problem and as for
the last five or six years the
cultivation Of the soil has been conducted
always without profit, and just nov at a
dead loss. The mutterings of discomfort
in the rural districts are grOwidg alarm

The Italian peasant is ignorant, and

THE STATUE OF LIBERTY.
Arrangements Almost Completed for {
Unwilling Caremonias

Arrangements Almost Completed for the
Unwilling Ceremonies.
NEW YORK, September 27.-Nearly all
the arrangements have been completed for
the Inauguration Of Bartholdi's Statue Of
Liberty on October .25th. The statue is
now complete with the exception of the
face, or the mask and right arm, in the
hand of which is placed the torcq. Mr..
Richard Butler, chairman Of the commit
tee, in speaking of the approaching
ceremonies, said: Everything is
now nearly ready, and 1 can
safely say that the 18th of
October will find the statue complete in
every respect. Our treasurer, Mr.. Spauld-
ing, has just returned from trip to Wash
ingtOn, where he went for the sole pur-
pose of seeing the President on the subject
of inviting the French Government to par
ticlpate in the ceremonies. He informs
US that the President had approved all the
plans OF the committee in that respect.
The French Government will, therefore be
invited and tits quite likely that they
viii send over delegation to represent
them on the great occasion. Well, the
work goes on beautifully. The mask OF
the face of the statue is being put in place
to-day, and We expect to have every piece
OF the statue in its proper place, with
the statue complete, by October 10 or
thereabOuts- There is yet great
deal of work to be done on and around the
statue. When it is completed there will
yet remain great deal of work on the
grounds, for instance, cutting down the
walks, leveling the stones and gathering
up the debris which has accumulated on
the island. We have already asked the
Government to put in the light in the
torch, which will be a 80, OOO-candle power
electric light. We also propose putting
IN electric light at each end of the pedes-
tal, so as to reflect on the stone, which
will throw it into a perfect light of electric
glory. When the lights will be put in
and everything running in perfect order
the Government will also put in an eleva-
tor, which will run from the base of the
pedestal to the top OF the statue.
'As tO the ceremonies it is we'll under
stood that General Schoield will be in
charge and will be the director of the land
and water demonstrations. President
Cleveland and hlS Cabinet are expected to
Join in the ceremonies, together with a
delegation representing the French Gov
ernment. The arrangements for the cere-
monies, however, have not been decided
upon yet, and it will not be before next
Wednesday, when the ceremonies will be
made known. There may be on the Occa-
sion 4 similar demonstration to the one
made upon the arrival of the statue. OF
course we expect these Outbursts of patri-
Otism and enthusiasm will be one hun
dred times greater than during the cere-
monies attending the statues arrival. l
receive letters every day from persons who
are desirouS of knowing the arrangements
for the Inauguration. 1t is understood
that the Pre,ident intends issuing proc
lamation to the American people, inviting
all to participate in the inauguration.

THE COLOR LINE.
An Attempt to Obliterate 1t By X. OF L.
Assembly 40.

NEW YORK, September 27.-Sixty dele
gates of District Assembly No. 49 will at
tend the general assembly of the K, OF l..
in Richmond, Va. every K. of L." says
one of their delegates yesterday, when ne
enters the order, knows that his obligation
makes him disregard the Color Creed and
naturally of his fellow members. District
No. 40 has among its members number
of cOlOred men. One of these cOlored
men happens to be delegate.
In fact he is one of the first
chosen. When our committee was making
arrangements with Col. Murphy, of the
Merchants Hotel of Richmond, he said he
would gladly accommodate No. 40 but he
could not defy the customs and usages OF
the city by allowing the colored man the
equal rights and privileges which those OF
his white fellow delegates. The cOlOred
delegate when he heard this secured place
for himself and said the other delegates
could select any hotel they liked. The
delegates, however, by unanimous vote
declared they would only go where their
colOred brother was admitted on the same
footing. The Assembly then looked about
to devise way out of its trouble. /
finally sent the cOlOred delegate and
white brother to Richmond to secure
board for the entire delegation among the
colored families in that city. No member
of 40 will board anywhere except with Il
colored family. This action by 40 We
hope will work good and be of great benc
fit to us and to humanity.
I'm Richmond there is District Assem-
bly,, which ignores the COlOred Knights;
District Assembly 49's act will bring, we
hope, these white brothers to their senses
and start break up of the color line. We
are all anxious to begin the work. 1t may
be that the greater part of the session of
the General Assembly will be taken up
with this question and not on the home
club. The home club is not very bad
after all. You ought to have heard some
Of them on the question of Color, and
they were men who were in Richmond
when Lee surrendered.
