Negro Emigration to the Congo State.

A resolution offered by Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, in the Senate
Monday has for its real purport the
encouragement of negro emigration
to the new Congo State. Senator
Morgan says that the United States
has no political rights in that country
because it did not accept the conclu-
sions of the convention of twenty-one
powers that met in Berlin to fix the
status of the Congo State. The
Senator is, therefore, anxious that
the United States should secure it's
just political power in that State
my reason for desiring this
says the Senator, "is that it may be
able to encourage negroes of this
country who have wealth and enter
prise, but have not standing and
never will have here, to engage in
trade in that country. Ultimately l
have in view a general emigration of
negroes from the United States to
Congo. They came from that
country and should return. Here
their civilization is wasted; there it
might be devoted to the building up
of a government and country that
shall be a credit to them"

REFERRING to Miss Lizzie Evans
who will appear tonight at the Gen.
trail Opera House in her great CON-
edy "The Buckeye"
The following is from the st. Louis
Republican:
"Lizzie Evans is one of the most
charming little soubrettes on the
stage, with sweet face, a light grace
ful figure, shapely limbs and must
cal voice, and with the knowledge of
displaying those essentials in the
most captivating manner. She has
no difficulty in winning the hearts of
her audiences, she dances over the
stage with the alriness of a thistle
ball and beams on her auditors like a
streak of sunshine, more attractive
than Lolita in her youthfulness and
physique, she is more charming in
manner, owing to an innate refine
ment that is apparent to even the
least observant. Her plays are moth
ing. Her presence is the charm.
Her company is an excellent one."

Trade, of Martinsburg, held a meet
ing on Saturday night last, for the
purpose of comforting with Mr..

Western Capitalists, as to the pro-
priety of establishing large wooden

could not have been worse. Those,
cool enough to maintain presence of
mind, and wait, escaped uninjured,
while those terrified, in their desper-
alton, trampled to death fifteen men
and women. In their rashness,
strong men leaped from the top of
the stairway, on to the struggling,
piled up, human forms below. Meth
er the batons of the police, or the
counsel of the cooler heads could
stop the deadly rush. Quite large
number were manned and wounded.
Really, there should be some law
regulating the means of egress from
such buildings.
