THE NEGRO PROBLEM.
Col. Heating, Of Memphis, Says
"Let the Negro Alone"
EDUCATION OF THE INDIANS.
Indian Commissioner Morgan has Complete
and Feasible Plan-Report of Governor
Prince, Of New Mexico.

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-The negro question
was the principal theme for discussion in
the meeting Of tho American Missionary
association to-day. Several papers were
read, the most interesting of which was
the one read by Colonel ]. M. Heating, of
Memphis. Colonel Heating said that dis
reimbursement was impossible; that the
suffrage is necessary to the protection of
the negro. Deportation, he says, is utterly
impossible, for if the colored people depart
from the south, it would be greatly against
the interests Of the south. The thing to be
done is to let the negro alone. Give him his
rights, education and Characterization. A
vote of thanks was rendered Colonel Keat-
ing by the association, and the committee
on printing was instructed to have the pa
per distributed through the south.
The report of the finance committee showed
sound conditions existing. The recommends
ton OF the committee that half a million be con-
tributed for the coming year, principally for the
purpose OF enlarging work among the
negroes and poor whites of the south, was
adopted. The meeting ended tonight with the
election of officers.

WASHINGTON Oct. Ex-Governor Prince, OF
New Mexico, in his annual report calls special
attention to the subject Of land titles. In re-
viewing the history OF congressional action in
the matter he says: Matters were in a very IN
satisfactory condition when the late surveyor
general made them worse by endeayoring to IN
settle the few things that were supposed to be
determined by taking up cases which had been
decided twenty-five years ago, and without no
tice to any one, reversing decisions of the sur
Yeyor-general who heard the case and de-
claring the testimony insufficient and grant in
valid. So long as uncertainty regarding titles
so the development OF the country is constantly
retarded.
The governor urges the establishment OF 4
tribunal exclusively for hearing these claims
and the settlement of titles.
The governor answers at some length the
statement made by persons opposed to the ad-
mission Of the territory, especially regarding
illiteracy He shows that While the population
is more or less lliterete it is not true OF very
large proportion OF the people. The ratio OF
iiliteracy has been reduced 20 per cent. during
the last five years He made an earnest plea for
admission into the union.
Upon the subject OF water supply and irriga-
ton, the governor says the people think it is as
valuable the immense areas now useless for cul-
tvation as it is to improve harbers and rivers.
While hoping for government aid, private enter
prise has not been idle, and during the past year
several corporations have been formed for the
purpose OF irrigation. Cattle raising has been in
q depressed condition throughout the year on
account OF low prices.

In the CrOnin Case.

| CHICAGO, Oct. 3l.-Proceedings in the
trial the Cronin case this morning were
unintere5ting. Two witnesses testified to
hearing Defendant Coughlin say, "There's
a Catholic on the North Side who will get
done up if he don't keep his mouth shut"
| Furniture Salesman Hatfield re-told the
story of selling the furniture to j. b.
Simonds which was subsequently found in
the Carlson cottage. The chief point Of
interest developed was that it was furni-
ture IN common use, and there were no
marks on it to perfectly establish its
| identity.
Hatfield also identified the trunk in
which Cronin's body was carried away as
identical in appearance with that sold to
Simonds.
When the court resumed its session the
| jury was excluded while the matter OF
striking out McGarrys evidence was dis
cussed. The court finally decided to ex-
clude all of the talk in regard TO the former
attack on Cronin. This was not satisfac-
tory to the defense, but after some talk the
| trial was resumed.
John w. Sampson testified that about
two years ago Coughlin tried to hire him
| to slug DR.. Cronin. On crosS-eXamina-
! ton Sampson admitted Coughlin had ar
rested him three or four times, once for
robbery; that he had been convicted OF
| passing counterfeit money, anu IuaG NC IS d
gambler by profession.
Joseph G. OKeefe, Cronin's tailor, said
he attended a meeting of Camp 20 in Sep
TENDER, 1883, and after it had conversn-
ton with Beggs about Cronin and AleXan-
der Sullivan. Beggs had displayed an
aversion to Cronin and said the latter was
not proper man to put on the trial com
mittee to try Alexander Sullivan, He OBJ
jected to Cronin particularly because the
doctor was an enemy of Sullivans.
| Edward ThrockmortOn, Aaron Goldman
and James NJ. Marshall, connected with a
real estate Office, testified regarding the
renting of the fiat at III Clark street to J.
B. Simonds. The court then adjourned till
| tomorrow.
An afternoon paper says that soon after
the disappearance Of DR.. Cronin, the state
put spies upon Camp 20, and that a man
| was concealed in the hall during some of
its meetings, and took notes of its proceed

A letter from the postmaster general to
DR.. Green, president of the Western Union
company, is also made public, in course OF
which Mr.. Wanamaker says that while he
cannot admit Green's claim that the priv
ieges accorded the telegraph company have
never been of any value to them, he is I'M
pressed by what DR.. Green has advanced
in opposition to the application of press
rates to government business, aad cOnse-
quently revised his order as to rates as
adopted. He proposes the appointment of
commission of five suitable persons to
thoroughly look into the matter and make
recommendations for a scale of rates for
the next succeeding fiscal year.

BERLIN, Oct BIN an interview with

Therefore, If think it can be avoided, 1

moral qualities. A high moral sense, that
is my principal reliance, and added to our
strength, are at any rate strong guaran-

power of Germany held in one strong hand
and directed by one firm will is strong
enough to confront a coalition alone with
good hope of success"

WINNIPEG, Oct. 31.-To-day Assistant
States Attorney Baker, of Chicago, and
Lawyer Howell elected new, and if true,
important, information from Gillette,
late fellow-prisoner of Martin Burke.
Burke said the plot had been to decoy
Cronin from his house by Coughlin and u
woman. Afterwards Coughlin changed
the plan and decoyed Cronin by
means of O'Sullivan's business card.
Burke told Gillette the woman
in question kept furnished lodgings on
North Clark street in Chicago. Burke
mentioned as associates with himself
Coughlin, Coney and O'Sullivan. The in
tention was to sink the body in the lake,
but the confederate who was to meet them
with boat failed to keep his appointment.
Gillett says Burke went twice to a lawyer
office on Dearborn street, Chicago. and got
money for doing the job. Cronin's clothes
were brought TO Winnipeg and hidden there.
Gillette told Baker how Burke told him
in detail of the murder; how Cronin was
dubbed as he stepped inside the cottage
door, and how they took his body to the
lake, and not finding the boat there, threw
it in. Fearing, however, that it would be
washed upon the beach, it was taken back
placed in the catch basin.
Mr.. Gillette'S story is very circumstan-
tial. Baker is inclined to believe it
straight in spite of the apparent improb-
ability of Burke having confessed.

Education Of the Indians.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l.-Commissioner Of In
dian Affairs Morgan has elaborated a system of
education designed to to reach all Indian youths
of school age now under the control of the In.
dian bureau. 1t is practically the American
public school system adapted to the special re
quirements OF the Indians It is to be non-par
tisau and non-sectarian. The industrial feature
is to receive special prominence. The outing
system" by which pupils are placed in white
family and attend public schools, is to be en-
couraged wherever practicable. 1t is proposed
to develop q full high school course
in at least three Indian schools-Carlisle,
Haskell and Cheyenne and others as fast us
needed. These high schools are TO take rank in
the equipment and character OF their work with
similar institutions for white people. The
scheme cOntemplates the organization Of per
haps twenty-five grammar schools, fifty primary
or home schools. and enough day or camp
schools to reach all who cannot be brought into
the boarding schools. Congress will be asked to
make sufficient appropriation to enable the
Indian office at an early day to bring every
Indian youth OF school age that can be reached
under proper instructions.

of the Casino, was able to tell good deal
about Miss Halton and her fourteen-year-
old son. She has lived next door to Miss
Halton for many months. Miss Gerrish
said that the clopement was as complete a
surprise to her as to her managers. Miss
Halton and herself and two friends had
gone out to luncheon after the theatre, at
nearby hotel, and had there met Mr..
Lewis and another man and woman, VINO
were friends of Mr.. Lewis, and were to
accompany him on the City of Paris in the
morning. Miss Halton, Miss Gerrish and
two others in the party agreed to go down
to the steamer to see the others Off. The
actresses and their friends met yesterday
morning and rode down on the elevated
railroad Mr.. Lewis and his companions
were there awaiting them and apparently
annoyed by their tardy arrival. When the
bell sounded for visitors to go ashore, Miss
Halton startled Miss Gerrish by saying
abruptly but with apparent nonchalance,
"Well. am going along too. l guess the
trip will do me good" Before the party
could recover from their establishment,
they were pushed ashore with the crowd.
Miss Halton stood on the deck and waved
her handkerchief to them as the steamers
moorings were loosened. She was smiling
and in the best of spirits.

Mrs. ]. W. Mackey,s Libel Suit.

LONDON, Oct. 31.-The action brought
by Mrs. John w. Mackey against the Man
chester Examiner for libel, came up in the
court of Queens bench to-day. The libel
complained of alleged the plaintiff was a
poor widow with two children, and that
she was employed as were other women by
the Nevada miners when Mackay fell in
love with and married her. The plaintiff
contends that the words of the article sug-
gested that she was not lady by birth or
education, and that she was not accustomed
to associating with persons of good posi-
ton. The defendants admit the first iunu-
endo but deny the second. Defendants
had paid e10 into court, and the question
before the court to-day was whether the
payment applied to the whole libel or to
the innuendo admitted. The court ruled
that it applied only to that part of the libel

Justice Hannen Compliments DaYitt.

| LONDON, Oct 3l.-Michael Davitt con
! tinued his speech to-day. He said Farqua-
har, who had been clerk of the Land
league, but who turned informer and testi-
fed for the Times had been unable to prove
the assertion made by Attorney General
Webster that the league advanced money
for the committal Of outrages and crimes.
Davitt regretted that all the Land league
books could not be found. They disap-
peared during the confusion consequent
upon the suppression Of the league, but the
National league books which had been pro-
duced revealed nothing unconstitutional.
He denounced the publication of the al
legged fac smile letters by the Timss as an
attempt at moral assassination OF the
political character of a public man I'M
paralelled by the action of any political
party in history in any country. He ridi-
culed the idea that the Times was not aware
of Piggott's antecedents until he testified
before the commission.
When Davitt finished Justice Hanneh
complimented him upon the ability dis
played in his speech. and thanked him for
the assistance he had given the court. Sir
Henry James then began his speech on be-
half of the Times.

A BEAR STORY.
1t is Very Interesting, but is Most Likely a
Barefaced FalsehoOd.

DENVER, Oct. 31-A Republican special
from Espanola, New Mexico, says: News
comes from Las Truches, sixteen miles
east Of here, that very old Mexican lady,
who was with her son, was in the pinon
groves, several miles from here and was
eaten by bear. The mother and son be-
came separated during the afternoon, and
at night the son went to camp and built a
fire, but waited all night long for his ab-
sent mother. AS soon as it was light he
started to find her and after several hours
search, found her torn clothing and bones
and hair. There are plenty OF tracks
where the remains were found.
News came from Albeequin, thirty miles
west, that a twelve ear-old boy has been
missing several days and the entire popu-
lation is searching for i'm. Fears are en-
tertained that bear lis eaten him. He
was also gathering pinons. Bears are very
plentiful on the Chama, forty mi les west of
here. Two Of Mr.. SCOTS cowboys at
tackled huge cinnamon bear a few days
ago After expending all their ammuni-
ton and only breaking leg, one of them
threw lasso around bruins neck and the
other lassoed his hind foot. After stretch
ing him, one of the cowboys dismounted,
leaving his horse "set'' to hold him, and
ran up alongside and cut the BEARS throat

has sustained the motion of the Democrats
and issued a peremptory order to have the

mel precincts. A motion for an appeal has
been filed and an application made for stay
of proceedings.
