SENATOR MORGAN, OF Alabama is
interesting himself in legislation look
ing to the political rights of the
United States in the new state OF
Congo. The United States was not
represented when the powers fixed
the statues of Congo at Berlin and the
Alabama senator calls attention to
the matter hoping that in time the
affairs and commerce of that state
will be managed by wealthy and ed
ucated American citizens of color who
can find no scope for their energies in
this country; also, that out of this
may grow an exodus of the colored
people of this country to the CONT
nent from which as chattels thee
were brought to this country. HA
seems to see great field for mission
airy and commercial enterprise in Con-
60 for the,Anglo-African and imagines
that with the building up of a great
state there might be partially solved
the question of the colored man in
America.

Starved Himself to Death.

The death in Macon, Ca, of John Adams,
the cotton factor, whose forgeries foot nearly
100000, has created sensation. Since his
incarceration in jail Adams refused all food.
1t was Friday night, February IS, when he
was put in jail. He Immediately resolved to
die slowly by starvation that he might IN
part expiate his crime and sins. He never
gave way to the cravings of hunger but once,
and then it was only for a moment to eat
two oranges and piece Of cake. This food
his stomach could not retain, and SO it can
not be said that the fast for starvation was
broken during the twenty-six days Of suffer-
ing and shame.
The twentysi--th day passed. and he en-
tered the twenty-seventh in a deep and peace
full slumber. He was then at his home in
Macon, having been taken there from the
Jail after weeks confinement. He was still
in charge of the authorities, his family pay
ing for a special guard that he might be at
home
Since the first all efforts to induce him to
eat have been fruitless. Upon her knees his
aged mother begged him to save his life, but
all entreaties were in vain. He begged his
parents to allow nobody to force food or
nourishment into his system, saying that this
would only prolong his suffering. His
courage was that of a martyr most re-
markable throughout.
While in jail he assigned to the Capitol
Bank Life Insurance property amounting to
SIS, O00 This is said to have been done in
consideration of promise not to prosecute
him.

aavana's New Ruler.

The arrival at Havana, Cuba, of Captain
General Salamanca, aboard the Spanish mail
steamer Alfonso XIII, marks a new era in
the history of that island.
Long before the hour Of the steamers ar.
rival scores of officers in full dress were
hurrying toward the palace, while veterans
and militia were assembling at the armory.
IN the harbor all the shipping was gaudilv
decorated, tugs were shooting in and out
noisly blowing their shrill whistles, while
scores ofsmall boats filled with merry people
waited at the entrance of the bay.
After anchoring off Casa Blanca recep-
ton was held on the deck of the Alfonso
XIII. for aD hour When the guns fired
from MORO Castle. the sigma! that the new
ruler was going ashore, the customary salute
was omitted.
At the landing General Salamanca passed
through a long lane of troops formed in line,
and hastily getting into carriage was es-
corted to the palace by the militia amid the
playing of bands and the enthusiastic shouts
of the multitude, who. having lined the en-
tire water front for hours awaiting his ar
rival, now gave free vent TO their suppressed
enthusiasm.

There was no basis for the sensational
rumor of an engagement between the United

The proclamation of martial law has been
publicly Withdrawn, and the Germans have

FROM FAR And NEAR.
Momentous Happenings Trans
mitted Across the Wires.
Five Men Killed by a Boiler Ez-
plosion in Pittsburg.

A boiler in the West Point boiler works,
owned by A. Monroe & Son, on Twenty
third street. Pittsburg. Penn, exploded
shortly after IL o'clock, killing five men,
wounding twelve and wrecking the building.
The force of the explosion was terrible. It
shook the earth for several block around,
SCATTERING windows and creating consterna-
ton in the neighborhoe1.
At moon the whistle was sounded, and i'm
mediately the majority of the sixty five en-
ployes left the place. Five minutes later
every man who remained in the
place had been either killed or in
Jured. In a moment hundreds of PEG
pie were on the ground, and the
work Of rescue was begun at once. An
alarm of fire was sounded, but the wreckage
fortunately was of brick and the flames that
had started did not make much Roadway be-
fore they were extinguished.
Firemen and policemen commenced the
work of rescuing the buried and in short
time the dead were removed
The killed were: Gus Linnebau, engineer,
% years, single; James Carter, boilermaker,
30 years, married. Jacob Rheinheimer,
boilermaker, % years, married; Charles
Aulenbache, bOilermaker, 45 years, married;
Daniel Clark, bolermaker, 80 years, single.
Stephen Carter, one of the injured, had his
skull fractured, and was fatally injured.
The building was large one-story brick
structure, and was formally occupied by
William Smith & Sons, pipe manufacturers.
The plant was valuable one, and will prove
a complete loss. Nothing remains but
mass of brick, mortar and timbers.
The boilers were inspected six months ago,
and were thought to be in f1rst-class condi-
tion. The real cause Of the explosion will
probably never be known, as the engineer
was killed outright, and no one has been found
who was in the engine room at the time the
disaster took place.
Some of the men said they heard the gauge
tried just a few minutes before the explo-
sion, and everything seemed all right. Every

was careful and competent man, one who
was unusually careful in his work The loss
will reach $50, OO0
